OOC: Phoenix Rising, Out of Character thread for the runners Options

When using an Interrupt action you do still get a Free action on your Initiative.

Might I recommend switching to Cold-Sim?

[Little Johnson]

yah he said blackout so its stun dammage first till overflow

i think once they attack they lock you in the node so all we can do is sever the connection.

[Fuchs]

If they knock DD out they can wipe the data at leasure. I'd rather burn edge (if DD's still around when she gets to act) and jack out, that's an opposed test.

[Shalimar]

Hopefully Jake and his agent can intervene and hit one or two of them. It is 3v3 after all, and all you need to do is to survive one pass before we can break the link.

[crizh]

They can only take the data back if you are still connected.

I would prefer not to unplug you, however, whilst you are still in Hot-sim.....

[Fuchs]

So, what about Jake and his agent?

[crizh]

With regards Dumpshock, I would recommend that he switches to cold-sim also.

With regards acting, Jake kinda did imply that his replies would be patchy for a while. Perhaps Brent can step in for him?

Could he upload his agent onto the Node and then Jack-out?

[bmcoomes]

I edited the IC post with Jake and his Agent. I'd like to get all the meat side bodies Initiative so if thing to wigout I know were everyone is at.

Soldiers Initiative:
10d6 w/ 3 passes
(1) 12 w/ 3 passes
(2) 16 w/ 3 passes
(3) 13 w/ 3 passes

[Little Johnson]

quick question. what are al the adds for init? +3 for the tac .anything else?

[Fuchs]

Well, DD should have made it with those rolls - by a hair though, and surprisingly the last IC almost got her. But since no IC hit her, logging off is a free action.

[Little Johnson]

i thought blackout locked you in when it attacked? not that i want that to happen im just new to rules and running a hacker in another game

[Oenone]

@Brent - What's currently happening at the WetWork site? As now that trouble has kicked off at the Data Steal we'll be needing to prepare to make the hit pretty shortly. (Assuming we do infact have the information we're after that is. Johnson did give some kind of guidelines as to what he's after so we'd grab the right info I hope?)

Depending on where (and when) we're up to there might be a need for frantic dashes for sniper positions etc.

@Fuchs - Where did DD actually copy the file to? Her own commlink? Or did she use the satalite (or tacnet) links to stash it elsewhere?

@Little Johnson - I think it needs to hit you for that to happen.

[Fuchs]

@ Little Johnson: Black Ice only locks you in if it hits you (SR4 P. 231). DD evaded the hits.

[Fuchs]

DD copied the file to her own commlink (which is default location I'd assume). I don't think she had time yet to copy it to somewhere else.

[Fuchs]

@oneone: Well, the hit team had some advance warning when DD and Jake went in, so shouldn't be that bad a rush.

[crizh]

We've had at least two minutes since the Doc and friends started paying their bill and getting their coats, etc.

[Shalimar]

i thought blackout locked you in when it attacked? not that i want that to happen im just new to rules and running a hacker in another game

It only locks you in on a successful attack (ie if it hits). None hit so she wasn't locked in. If it had hit but failed to damage she would be locked in.

[Shalimar]

Since DD is still on the boat she can jump straight into the Doctor's link without having to worry about moving her meat body around.

[Fuchs]

(Short note: As far as I understood, we were hired to steal the data, but that didn't include destroying all copies of it. )

[Shalimar]

(Short note: As far as I understood, we were hired to steal the data, but that didn't include destroying all copies of it. )

I don't think we were hired to destroy the data either, maybe we'll get a bonus for having deleted their data since it'd give our Johnson even more time to get up and running.

[Fuchs]

Well, DD didn't delete the data though - unless transfer data includes that. She had no time for a delete action.

[Oenone]

By the sound of it the Doctor is likely to be leaving the building about now right? Perhaps heading out for her car (if so disabling it via a quick bit of hacking would be very handy or maybe even just running her over with it if possible....)

@Truth wanting to open up with the drone as the first resort or the last resort?

[bmcoomes]

Oenone: I'm working that into my IC post.

As far as the data went I was under the impression that is was deleted with you transfer action. that's why the IC attacked.

[Fuchs]

Well, as I said, I don't know what exactly transfer data does, so it's your decision. The ICs could have spotted her anyway due to some trigger, or just a random analyze test, so it doesn't change the outcome either way.

[bmcoomes]

Nope, I just thought you would have deleted it after you transferred it and it wouldn't anymore time to hit the delete command after the transfer.
