Hello DS.
I am working out the details of an adventure I'm hoping to GM in the near future. I want to plant a clue in the form of a video message left for an NPC that the players come upon a few days after the commcall was placed. I'm fairly certain that any runner worth his salt will immediately attempt to track or otherwise ID the caller, and I want to be sure I'm prepaired. My questions are: - Is it possible to track a user via a commcall message roughly 2-3 days after it is left? - Would a data search action be more appropriate (ID the callers commcode)? - Do messages become part of a user's datatrail? - If you can track the caller, would the caller need to be online during the trace? - What would make up the dice pool (Data Search+Browse, Computer+Track, other)? Any ideas are welcome! Thanks in advance! Method |
