[OOC] Panzerknacker Options

[Jack_Spade]

Sure, but those are one way and the curtains are drawn (as can be expected at 6 in the morning)
Thats why radar sensors are employed by Kite

[Volker]

That was a misunderstanding. I was under the impression that it was the drones' task to check on the mage. That's why I didn't bother for extra sensors. In #592, I even reminded Kite to "keep [her] drones prepared if something goes amiss" and gave her a few seconds time to react. In my imagination, that implied that she at least has a possibility to do so and wouldn't just sit in front of a drawn curtain and say oops when it's too late...

[Jack_Spade]

Eh, don't sweat it. The drone didn't register an alert and the mage's body is in fact lying there. So you can be sure at least that there hasn't been a total fuck up.

[Volker]

all right, thanks. My rolls for the spider are okay, right?

[Jack_Spade]

@hacking bio-monitor
Yeah, since it's slaved to the owner, your hack and spoof combo works without a hitch.

@hacking spider

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do: The spider's persona is based on his deck at the moment, not his commlink. So any outgoing calls he makes will come from his deck/persona - and that is inside the host, so can only be hacked while you are also in the host. But you do have nonetheless a MARK on him, due to hacking the bio-monitor.

Now there is a commlink of his, that is lying around that you can use for this trick (actually there are three), but these have agents hardwired to them (as his girlfriend told you in the cafe).
Those also defend with 12 dice, so we can keep your results of the hack.

Finally - and I hope this isn't too confusing - there is the other comlink - namely that of his guest - in the bedroom (7 defense dice, no persona at the moment)

In conclusion: Your GIGO trick works, but you need to specify a different trigger.

[Volker]

Is the biomonitor slaved to his deck or his commlink?

[Jack_Spade]

Slaved to his deck

[Volker]

Well, the simply substitute "link" with "deck". I marked the biomonitore or other slaved gear 3 times, thus have 3 marks on his deck, and so I'm able to GIGO it, have it utter the passphrase and block the biomonitor.
Hacking on the Fly: 3#18d6t5 4 2 7
Opposed roll: 3#12d6t5 3 4 5

As for the second one. These are my rolls. One went amiss, so it's only 2 marks. I guess he would be notified, but he's asleep anyway

>.>

<.<

We're not waiting on Slobbertooth, right?

[Jack_Spade]

Nope, it's Anna's move next: Opening the door, making herself invisible and placing the grenade

[Gilga]

Will see if can post later today.
last week was crazy.
Some rolls if they are necessary. If I understood correctly Anna is invisible and concealed. Wearing an FBA provided by Schmitt and an RP cloak (not sure about the rating).
some rolls...
Sneak: 11d6t5 5
Perception: 11d6t5 4

[Gilga]

@Jack few questions.

1. Is 'Debora' still with us?
2. Can she enter the bank?
3. If she can't, can a spirit be summoned inside the bank?

If cornered I assume she'd like some help, or simply use invisibility which would make her in addition to the other factors very difficult to detect.

[Jack_Spade]

You used two services, so yes, your spirit is around outside
She can try, but would have to contend with an F12 ward
Yes, you can dismiss her and resummon inside the building.
If it was a bound spirit, you could send it to its home plane and recall it inside the bank again.

[Volker]

Can I see Leggio's commlink in the matrix?
How much time can we estimate till we make contact?
Are all of the guards, especially the 4 who are making their way towards us, within the area of influence of the gas grenade, once bnc activates the ventilation?
doublecheck: Anna herself is protected, I don't need to wait until she gets out, before I activate, right?

[Jack_Spade]

Not without a successful matix perception test.
Hard to say: between 30 seconds and 2 minutes
Yes, the wents go everywhere inside the building
If Anna wears her helmet and armor, she is protected

[Gilga]

Anna wears FBA + Helmet just like planned. I doubt she'll take the helmet off to fix her makeup knowing that the gas grenade is about to go off.


Unlike the plan - she would suggest using the spirit to find Leggio figuring that Krestov and Slobber can handle what is left of the patrol after the gas grenade.

[SquirrelDude]

Not sure if "do nothing" is the right option, but it definitely always feels like the worst choice.

[Jack_Spade]

Actually, that is a very intelligent course of action (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
A trap and you didn't take the bait (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Gilga]

Nice going! Anna is too much of a thrill seeker to be this reasonable.

[Jack_Spade]

Just for the record: I assume, Anna sends the spirit after bnc gives her the go. As it is right now, the spirit would materialize and attack Leggio before the gas is released or bnc has sent the fake message.
Otherwise... yeah, this could get very interesting.

[Gilga]

This was my intention.

I was also thinking about a more general service as to disable any guard still standing after the grenade goes off but perhaps I was missing something and there is a need to focus on Leggio especially. Not that it matters much as she has enough services.

[Jack_Spade]

The simulation showed that Leggio was the one most likely to withstand the first three seconds of the gas attack - enough to pose a threat.

[Gilga]

Fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I do recall something along that line. Let's wait for Volker to pull the trigger.

[Volker]

My following post is sent under the assumption that I am indeed in control of the whole system. If I got this right, they just turned off the vents. So there's no real change in my course of action, is there?

[Jack_Spade]

Leggio sent a command to turn off the ventilation, but you can turn it on again without problem.
Just tell me the order of operations you are using (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
