Emerging Conflict OOC & Recruitment, Fast Paced, Rules Light - Single Mission (Recruitment Always Open) Options

[sabs]

Hey I would like to have had the drones Signal Ratings reconfigured to 4? Except for the 2 nimrods at 5?

Is that possible?

[klinktastic]

And I made a few adjustments to my character, which I have editted in. I made my synapse boosters lvl 2 and turned them into used standards.

[AStarshipforAnts]

Not to be a pain, but could I get a ruling on this change of equipment? I do love me some Gamma-Scopolamine.

We can take off the licenses and get Dahlia something better, then.

How about (5) doses of Gamma-Scopolamine ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 1,000)?

That and some better whiskey.

@ Sabs - no problem. Pilot is also upgraded to 4 on all drones (unless higher) and you can have a selection of R:4 autosofts of appropriate types for the drones. Protocols mean that anyone in DW with commlink access can probably command the drones if the riggers are otherwise occupied (they have priority obviously)...

@ Klink - ok, noted

@ Astarship - don't see why not, eveyone else is getting toys to play with (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Aria]

Something I meant to add...if anyone wants a suit of light security armour (10/8, +2/2 helmet, chem seal, thermal dampening 2) as a half way measure between the stealth suits & milspec armour then that's fine...the NPCs in the support squad will probably be wearing this instead of the chameleon stuff...

[Aria]

Minor point on timestamps - Klink you're onboard 'Arc' and Branmac, you're on 'Buzzard', not on board 'Sultan' ...but it's not a big issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[klinktastic]

Changed. Could you take a screen shot of the operations zone and place some markers so we know where we are landing and then our mission objectives. Some sort of legend maybe. I don't know how possible this is.

Let's see if this works (and this is a work in progress and you lot can make suggestions for changes etc if you want)

Map

The LZ is about 5km from the target...I would think that would be sufficient so that you can set down undetected?

[sabs]

ooh 5KM?
oooops
mm, I need to change my post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think

I put us down at 2km. (the drones have a 1 KM range.. but I'm using the Armadillo as a relay station)

I can put us down at 5km and then get my character's but out in the terrier, with the Ares Centaur as protection.
My commlink has a 4km range.

[AStarshipforAnts]

Not really sure what to do until the action hits. Dahlia's just twiddling her thumbs at the moment.

[Aria]

ooh 5KM?

@Sabs: Don't change anything...I'll move the LZ on the map (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Dahlia: Feel free to moan about the 2km trek you're about to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Will get the action going as soon as I can, probably after the weekend now though, sorry...

[AStarshipforAnts]

No problem. It's just that Dahlia is very much...not a military type. So she's listening to all of this and hearing 'blah blah blah military blah blah blah'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[klinktastic]

@ Aria - Very cool. Which way is Lt. Greaves's team going. Nort, up by the school or swinging around south? Oh yeah, can we blow up the school? Pretty please?

[sabs]

@Aria - I want to do a couple of things with the Armadillo.

I want to scan for nodes. Get a feel for the wireless traffic in the area.

EW 4 + Scan 5 + PuSheD 1 + Customized Interface 1 = DP 11

[Aria]

Well I've given you an excuse to blow up the school if you want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As to which way you approach the tower that's entirely up to you...you'd need to walk through a bit less territory controlled by Stillwater around the school but there's also some sort of meeting going on there so you takes your chances!

@ Sabs - for the acronym challenged, what is PuSheD?!?

I've updated the map a bit since I posted you the link - it shows the ritual lines now and some additional info. Any more info requests will get added in as I get them.

[sabs]

@Aria
PuSHeD is from Augmentations. It's a genetic enhancement that gives +1 to all logic linked skills.

Thanks! Been a while since I read that book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[sabs]

So same dicepool. EW 4 + Sniffer 5 + PuSheD 1 + Customized Interface 1 = DP 11
I'm going to:

Capture Wireless Signal (Sniffer)
You eavesdrop on wireless traffic going to and from a device. You must
be within the device’s Signal range to capture the traffic. You must succeed
in an Electronic Warfare + Sniffer (3) test to start the capture,
and then you may copy, record, or forward the traffic without another
test as long as you remain within the target device’s Signal range and
keep the Sniffer program running.
There is no way for other parties to detect your capture (without
access to your commlink, of course). If the traffic is encrypted, you
must break the encryption before it can be captured.

Using the Armadillo, going to try and start capturing wireless signal and then transferring it back to the C&C Nexus so the hackers can start taking it apart.

I take it from the IC thread that you want to intercept the signals coming in and out of the tower? There are lots so do you want to be more specific about what you are looking for or is the drone capable of intercepting the lot? (My matrix rules are a little rusty and I'm not too worried what the answer is, just want to get a feel for what you think is possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

...and you want the hackers to spoof the drone net or otherwise do somthing subtle about getting you past it? It's widely enough spaced that you can direct your teams to avoid it provided they 'step where you tell them'

well, the drone can handle the relay. My commlink couldn't possibly handle the data. But we have a nexus with our ops Hackers sitting on it. I figure they can start figuring out what's in the data transmissions and give me feedback to stop listening to certain signals, focus on others.

If I can label the TacNet with the location of all the drones and their sensor ranges (at best guess) so that I can show the teams where to avoid getting caught. That would be the way to go. Hacking = chance of getting caught. That said.. it would be nice to have a hacker available to spoof a drone if someone screws up.

Hearing the giggling, I'll do a perception check to identify the location and source type of the noise:

16d6 → [4,1,4,6,5,6,1,1,6,2,3,5,5,3,5,3] = (60) = 8 Successes

That's a whole heap of successes! I'd tell you what colour shirts they have on except you can't see them yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

With pinpoint accuracy you know that the sounds are coming from inside the ruined house, ground floor left corner, you've identified at least 2 people, probably young teenagers by the timbre of the voices... for more info you'll have to send a drone in or go and look yourself!

[klinktastic]

@sabs and Aria - I requested a drone (ferret) to check out the two potential hostiles in the house. As stated, I think its two teens probably getting it on, or well at least the guy is trying to and the girl is trying to stop him. I'm thinking we might have to pacify with non-lethal. What's the best way to take them out for a while?

[sabs]

ok I'll modify my post to send a ferret out your way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well Stick n Shock is probably a RAW way to take them out, but given your training I'm sure you can apply a RP situation, slip over/around the wall and apply a sleeper hold/knife to the throat. Shooting anyone leaves the risk of noise, even with silencers. The Ferret confirms they are both teenagers 'getting it on' while the adults are busy elsewhere...as you say, wrong place, wrong time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Your choice as to how you play this but it's not technically a combat situation...yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can either write up the encounter or you can if you get there first!
