Runner Down Under, OOC Options

[Chrome Head]

Since it seems that the data could really make things a lot easier, I think we should attempt one of the options.

Of course, the most desirable route would be to just have an employee with the necessary security access go in and get that data for us, i.e. option 4 - the easy way. It might be a lot easier than anything else, if we can grease the palm of the right person. Otherwise, I'd go for option 2 which seems the most doable.

[Lobo0705]

I agree with option 2

Yes, either 2 or 4 seem like the best bets.

If we could fool them into sending that information somewhere (or find out if they are already sending it for some reason), Snooping it directly from the transmission could be easier (requires less marks) and quieter than a full break-in.

So Switch will head over to the area astrally to check out the place. Are there any warded areas, spirits, any other magical security.

Just a patrolling watcher spirit, you'd guess force 1-3 with three as the absolute max. Could I get an astral perception check?

Sure

Assensing + Intuition'

You don't notice anything else out of the ordinary.

[Redjack]

The target is about three blocks away

Meaning that we are three blocks from the shopping center?

Yes.

This may sound a little off the wall, but I figure it's worth a shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Io is going to call the fixer Dee (C4/L1). I'm not very familiar with how buying stuff through a fixer works, but if it's possible he'd like to get his hands on a Transys Avalon commlink (Rating 6, Availability 12, 5000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ); however as he doesn't have the full amount a, he'd like to arrange a short term loan until after the run (and the remainder of the payout is made): something along the lines of 3000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) (and Io covering the remainder of the cost), with 4000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) paid back after the run (~5 days), and the commlink itself as collateral.

[Lobo0705]

Couple of questions:

1) What time is it in game?
2) Is the mall that the store in open?
3) When I observed the place astrally, how many living auras did I see outside the mall?
4) Were there any wards?

okay. roll 18 dice for your fixer, against 1 hit. If you don't fail the roll entirely (0 hits) you should have the link within a few days tops (the better you roll the quicker you get it).

1) I'd say it's getting to early evening, maybe around 5pm ish. It's summer, so it won't be dark for another two hours or so.
2) The mall is open through till 6, primarily because it's a relatively small affair. Larger centers are open 24 hours.
3) Did you go inside? If not then you only saw a couple of people hanging out in the carpark and maybe a half-dozen entering and leaving. Remember that you can't see through glass in astral. There area about 20 vehicles in staff parking around the back and another 25-30 in the main lots.
4) You did not observe any wards from outside. If you went inside that may change.

Rolling 18 dice for the Fixer: [1,3,3,1,3,5,4,2,6,6,4,2,6,2,1,6,3,5] = 6 hits.

would you like that delivered or would you prefer to swing by and pick it up yourself?

I guess I'll have to meet with Dee in any case since we're dealing with credsticks, and I also need to pick up a Hardware kit (500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ) which I figure I can find/assemble in a local store (not Coles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) on the way without problems. I'll also make sure to wipe/brick any RFIDs on the hardware kit.

Yeah, you run into no problems getting yourself a hardware toolkit and getting rid of any annoying tracking devices, though unfortunately that also voids their warranty.

Okay, are we ready to get this party started?

[Redjack]

Let's rock it.

[Lobo0705]

Ok - summoning Force 5 spirit of Water - Optional Power Concealment

12d6.hits(5)=5

Spirit (Lorelei) Resists

So 3 services

Resist Drain

Fantastic, good backup plan. Sunset for today will be in around two hours, plenty of time to pull off the dry run.

Just to clarify, this is taking place while Io is out?

[Lobo0705]

My understanding was that Io was upstairs on his commlink.

Hey guys, I need perception and when appropriate matrix and astral perception checks, along with Disguise checks for everyone and a Con check from Offenbach. Also, Edge checks for all to see if anyone stumbles onto something useful by sheer luck.
I'd also like to know where on the floor plans you guys are heading. Final note: Coles and Target are managed locally by the same corp so you may be able to get the intel out of target's systems.

[Lobo0705]

IC is down right now.

Out of curiosity, why do we need the Disguise checks?
