Longest 3 seconds ever until Brent is back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Little Johnson]

yah i agree.

I hope he kills something while hes off hunting so he doesnt have to when he gets back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Shalimar]

Seconded, though its making me rethink the intelligence of rushing off to help take on an elemental that could be dead before I get there.

[DWC]

I'll freely admit it. Truth completely overreacted.

The spirit is dead in the water already since it spent its’ second pass action dodging. Poor bastard gets to spend the rest of the turn sitting there getting pummeled.

Does a simrig pass on thoughts? I thought not, since that would make interrogation very easy - hook the subject up to a simrig, and make him think.

Etoile doesn't see it that way, but then she was pretty much down to 'harsh language' as her next tactical option.

Don't think simrigs pass on thoughts, maybe general moods and sensations by monitoring activity in various parts of the brain perhaps?

[Tarantula]

I agree. Not thoughts, but moods/emotions. I.E. happy, sad, frustrated, angry, resolved.

[Coldhand Jake]

Actually, in the novels, it's clear that a raw simrig feed can indeed pass on thought processes. Comes up in Dead Air. Also, a read on the techfluff, over in Unwired I believe, also gave me the concept. However, and I'll go ahead and put this out there...I misread the color and thought it was a quote. And tried to cover my ass without deleting it. We can argue what a full simfeed does and does not transmit, but I'm not too hung up on it, mostly me covering up a fuckup.

[Oenone]

The novels are all a bit before my time, I'll re-read Unwired to see if anything about it leaps out at me though.

[DWC]

Everything I see in the mechanics parts of Unwired concurs that you get emotives, but not coherent thoughts through a simrig.

That, and Reality Amplifiers are rediculous. The potential for comedy (and abuse) in using a Focus amplifier to filter out the distractions that stop neocortical and limbic neural boosting nanites from working is kind of silly.

[Coldhand Jake]

Got an edit in there, to keep the sense going. Oh, no doubt. You know how cheap it is to program your sim module to ramp up your own touch sense and pleasure center? Like digital ecstacy.

[Fuchs]

For those who actually access the simrig's feed, and not just the tacnet's output, DD's emotions during the hacking ran from tension and adrenaline to triumph each time she went past a barrier, triumph turning into surprise and a lot of fear when she downloaded the paydata and then the IC attacked, followed by elation and joy upon successfully evading and logging. She's currently still on a sort of "excited high" from completing the hack while following the battle with the spirit. Anyone askenning her would also see those emotions.
Edit: So, not that much a "cool professional".

[DWC]

Not exactly an unhealthy or unexpected series of responses.

[Fuchs]

Of course not. But other shadowrunners might have different responses. (And I am hoping I don't forget to post such info when the tacnet's running and DD's not having the expected response.)

[DWC]

All the more reason not to broadcast the emotive track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Fuchs]

You're talking about a character whose dream is to become a star in L.A., where runners are Trid/Simsense stars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[DWC]

Not saying that she can't broadcast it to her fans. Just that it doesn't really help to send it to her accomplices.

[Shalimar]

Welcome back Brent.

[Zaranthan]

Woo! It's the tenth! PARTY HEARTY! How was the hunting?

[Little Johnson]

woot WB

[bmcoomes]

Yup, I'm back. Hunting was good. My father-in-law got a 4x4 deer. We saw some big Elk 6x6 but we can only take spike elk which we could not find. So yeah the deer my god, the dame thing ran down hill then when it died it fell into a hell hole. It took two hours just to pull it out of the hole. Then we had a 4 mile drag out to the rig. It was shot at noon and we got it in the rig at 1830.

Any who, I'm back now I have to catch up on things here at the house so I'll get this rolling Sat and Sun at work.

Brent

[DWC]

Welcome back. Glad things went well.

[Fuchs]

Welcome back.

[Oenone]

Welcome back!

And huzzah, now we find out if we'll escape from the aftermath of our dastardly deeds.

[DWC]

Welcome back!

And huzzah, now we find out if we'll escape from the aftermath of our dastardly deeds.

What's the worst that could happen? It's not like we're headed back to a dock less than 200 meters from the third largest permanent UCAS military presence on the west coast.
