Alright, so I'm GMing, and my players are loving it.


So, after having modified On The Run to something a little different, I still used Delphia.

Long story short, they got themselves in some trouble with the police, and one of the members contacts, (a beat cop) says that he can try to get their faces and descriptions to be forgotten if they kill Delphia (I made her have a lot more influence over the local area's BTL trades, and that she's started to cause some mayhem with the police, including a carbomb that almost killed one of my players.)

Anyways, so one of the members called her (who she didn't know; at least that's what they thought) and set up a time to buy some BTLs, and when they showed up, the local ork gang was there to greet them instead. So while they were fighting, I had one ork inside the apartment remotely drive a GMC bulldog with machine gun turret in the back and start attacking them.


My question is: the groups hacker/rigger drops into VR mode, and then scans for wireless nodes: What exactly does he see at this moment? How can he differentiate from the node the car is emitting and the node from the house?


Secondly, when he went to go hack into the car, he used some edge, and got a ridiculously high roll on his first hack-on-the-fly attempt (14...he got like 5 6's in a row it was crazy) so that he would technically have admin access. After using his analyze program to see the other riggers icon controlling the vehicle, he asked if he could just delete his access or revoke his account, so I had him roll a computer + edit to see if he could do it, but he critical glitched (and I wanted him to enter cybercomat since he hasn't yet, this is only there third gaming session) but was that the appropriate thing? How would he have done that?
