Got an answer to my questions so I can move on ?

[ludomastro]

Trevor smiles to himself. Matchsticks, hmmm. Oh well, let's get while the getting is good.

With that he heads out to the meet.

recheck the post, its been awsnered for sometime now. Sorry I forgot to tell you That I edited it.

[fistandantilus4....]

Cat zooms in on the woman's face, trying to catch a good profile shot, while bringing up a second cam in the area going for another angle.

She immediately scans for an active PAN on her, seeing if she's carrying a commlink, and looks over the pic to see if she's got a dta jack or nano-trode paste on.

[ Spoiler ]

Thanks, I'd missed the edit.

[SinN]

ShadowCat
She is not carrying an active com. From what you can tell from your tracing her com is sitting in a trash can 3 blocks up. She does have nanopaste on, and does have an obvious datajack.

Trevor

[ Spoiler ]

Give me a sec on your post. Its gonna be great just need some time to write it up. Sorry for the inconveinence

[fistandantilus4....]

In that case, sind a quick message to the local Lone Star PD. Let them know there's a person walking around without Identification, and looks suspicious. According to the BBB, it's a crime now to not carry ID, and the only way to carry a valid ID is to carry a commlink. Once the message has been sent, from a near by public telecom, helpfully feed her image to the security cams, and have them scan and "notice" her, while I clean my trail throughly.

Perhpas a Star patdown and a few months in jail will teach her a lesson about threatening phone calls.

[ Spoiler ]

oops, read that wrong. Editing, I thought you said she doesn't have any of that stuff. but if she's got a datajack, she might have headware.

Cat runs a scan for a hidden PAN (headware, commlink on her in hidden mode, etc)

Time to call Trevor. Cover all the bases.

Shadowcat quickly brings up her back door in to the comm company's system, getting everyting ready to change her number yet again. She sets up the new account, but calls Trevor before deleting the old one.

Don't really know this guy, but if that slitch nabbed Smoke and called the two of us, I cuold be on their hit list. Having someone at my back I can nominally trust might help.

Cat "calls" Trevor's comm, meaning that she connects to it again, the same way as he did before, looks through the comm's camera to see where he is, then opens the link, after rerouting her comm trail, and placing some Black IC along the line. If it's available, she'll comm in to a trode rig or ear bud if he's wearing one.

Trevor, evening. This is ShadowCat. Do you have a moment?

The screen displays only the black cat woman icon.

[ludomastro]

Trevor's comm comes to life on its own. Hmmm, what's this.

Trevor grins upon seeing the logo, Good evening Shadowcat. I am afraid that now is not a good time. I have some business to attend to. Perhaps later?

[fistandantilus4....]

You git a call earlier from the same woman that called me, and kidnapped Smoke and otrutred her. Be sure that you're not walking in to someone's trap Trevor. She's already made a move against me, and you could well be next.

That's all.


The icon smiles sweetly.

Waiting on scan results for commlink search

[ludomastro]

Damn it to hell!

I my case she baited me with my fixer... I suppose a trap is inevitable. I am headed to Matchsticks, you?

[fistandantilus4....]

I'm looking at the lady who called me through a Lone Star security cam, and about to hack her commlink, erase her identity, and call the Star on her. Assuming things go my way of course.

Were you headed to Matchsticks to meet her? She might be late.

I don't know if your fixer is important to you, but we really have no idea if your fixer, or Smoke , are still alive.I'm not one for playing someone else's game, so I say we change the rules.

[ Spoiler ]

SinN, still need to knwo if I find a commlink on her so I can start hacking it.

[ludomastro]

Let me put it this way. A happy grateful fixer who owes you is worth more than a dead one. Especially if your rep goes down with the casket...

[fistandantilus4....]

Better your rep than your corpse. Are you going to meet her?

[ludomastro]

Let's just say that there are reasons I don't fear death...

So, yes, I plan to meat her and no, I am not referring to greet.

[fistandantilus4....]

Planning on facing her on your own? Give me a few minutes, and I may be able to get into her 'link. She's got a datajack, which means she can't very well turn off her connection if I'm able to hack her commlink. Give me time to get in, and then we can take her on two fronts if it's comes to it. Turn the tables on this mystery woman and deal with her on our terms.

[ludomastro]

Did I mentioned that I liked your style?

[fistandantilus4....]

You might not have, but you can bring it up again later once we're done .

[SinN]

ShadowCat

[ Spoiler ]

She does have an active com on her, seems the same one she called you with.

Trevor
Forty-five minute pass after the call. You arrive at Matchsticks. You dont see anyone that sticks out right away. Just the same old regulars, some waisting away, and some just enjoying the atmosphere.
After a quick scan, You notice a short, very atractive, dark haired woman sitting alone in a boothe. She seems to be waiting for someone, considering shes sitting alone.

Total hits = 16

once it's hacked, clear the memory of the access, set up the hidden back door, create the Admin account and keep it hidden. Check the log access to see if the Caller has any hacking or hidden IC programs. Assuming the files are only encryption protected or protected by databombs, copy all files over to a perepherial device, as copying doesn't trigger databombs.

[ludomastro]

Shadow, is that our girl?

[fistandantilus4....]

[ Spoiler ]

looking through his commlink, and checking where both of them are located, well, GM, is that our girl?

[SinN]

ShadowCat

[ Spoiler ]

You get admin access completley and fully undetected. (damn good roll man. Threshhold was 6.)
That is definetely your girl. After scanning her programs, theres nuthing too important. Only thing that catches your eye is a message.

Trevor
The woman catches your eye, she seems to notice you, and she looks a bit impatient.

[fistandantilus4....]

Relay the message to Trevor that this is the same girl we're looking for. Make sure the the Black IC is discretely uploaded into her datajack's software, and awaiting command, well hidden.

Check the contents of the message.

Heading over to her table, Trevor smiles and says, I hope that you have had time for dinner. I find that negotiating on an empty stomach can sour the experience. I hope that you don't mind. I had a few of your friends for dinner.
