Mato's character sheet: https://stormy-waters-2075.obsidianportal.c...characters/mato

Mato has the curiously-applicable Seattle Parkour knowledge skill, so let's roll that!

Intuition 6 + Seattle Parkour 3: 9d6t5 3 hits

Oops, forgot the new mnemonic enhancers: Mnemonic enhancer 4: 4d6t5 2 hits

So that's 5 hits total. I give credit to all this knowledge karma that we've distributed over the years.

About time one of us had a really random, clutch, knowledge skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Jack_Spade]

Added some insights for Mato - let me know if you want any more specific information - with five successes you are familiar with all his old work and have seen his new channel as well. Also, you know the address of the club and that it's definitely not for poor folks. Rich kids like to hang out there as well as a lot of posers.

@Embargo

Just setting up a little hook for the next interlude (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Tecumseh]

Wait, rereading it, it sounds like Saeder-Krupp was the previous investigation, and this new investigation is totally separate? So it's not a potential story about Saeder-Krupp, in theory that content has already aired?

Follow-up questions: Is Mato familiar with Martin Marten? Is Felicitas' representation of Martin Marten accurate from the view of an outside third party?

[Thanee]

Wait, rereading it, it sounds like Saeder-Krupp was the previous investigation, and this new investigation is totally separate?

That is my understanding as well.

It does show, also, that there could be some pretty big players involved.

Thanee

[Jack_Spade]

Yes, the new investigation is not S-K focused, but it appears they found some old data chips in an abandoned S-K facility that they are using in a future segment.

Martin Marten is not a parkour enthusiast - he is a classic armchair expert, who does a lot of reaction videos and mainly uses drone footage if he visits abandoned places. He has high output, but mainly cheaply produced.

[Gilga]

Hi, reality is a bit dystopic so I was slow. My neighborhood took two hits from ballistic missles in the last two days. No damages personally but it is a bit of a warzone. Two friends had to leave their home and many broken windows in the nearby streets.

Made a fun post about being late to the party, so there is a silver lining. Sort of.

[Jack_Spade]

All the best to you and yours - I hope you all get through this unharmed

[Beta]

I've been thinking about you and your family in all of this. I'm glad you have been safe so far, but the stress and disruption must be intense. I hope the fictional dystopias give a nice escape, when you can get there

[Gilga]

Its more intense than anything we had until now, damages very big as well. I hope its the end of the two years nightmare though.

[Tecumseh]

Yeah, Gilga, that's wild. It's front pages news here, and very top of mind. I don't have any words that will help, but if you're going through hell, keep going.

[Gilga]

SR is kind of an escapism part of the routines that I can keep up regardless of stuff. Almost anything else get/got disrupted in the last years numerous times due to not always being able to physically meet. Digital hobbies in a way are a constant (well as long as we have Internet access).

[Thanee]

Horrible times for sure. Stay safe!

Bye
Thanee

[Jack_Spade]

I guess it's Tamarind who has to answer the question of the guard - or whoever rides shotgun

[Tecumseh]

Question: if this is a 5 minute walk from our place, is it the same neighborhood or a different neighborhood? If they're the same, we can just say, "We live here." If they're different, is there a 'border' between the two where you have to cross security? Because if not, we can just go home and walk.

[Jack_Spade]

Different gated community - just next to your neighborhood

[Beta]

Do we recognize the individual guards? Or just from the same company?

=====================

@TableTalk Tamarind is competent at etiquette, but has minimal ability to lie. If anyone else wants to have their character offer some story about what we are doing then go ahead, else Tamarind will tell something essentially true, just omitting a few details.)

[Thanee]

I don't see why we would need to lie to the guards here. I would just tell them where we are going. They will likely be able to see that on security cameras, anyways.

Bye
Thanee

[Jack_Spade]

Same company, but different guards

[Tecumseh]

The scanner Mato is using:

[ Spoiler ]

Millimeter wave detection systems, also known as
cyberware scanners, process video taken in the millimeter
wave spectrum to identify the energy signature of
cyberware and concealed items (specifically weapons)
on a person. These devices can “see through” thick layers
of clothing and other concealment to identify items
from a distance of fifteen meters away. To determine if
the detector scans cyberware or a prohibited item, roll
the Device Rating and compare the hits scored to the
thresholds given on the Cyberware Scanner Table. Millimeter
wave scans can detect any non-biological item by
its shape and composition, assuming the item is listed
in the device’s database. If the threshold is reached, the
scanner detects the item/implant and notes its general
locations and type; additional hits provide more detail
(function, model, grade, etc.).

Cyberware Scanner R5: 5d6t5 1 hit, is this thing on?

Mato should generally be able to buy 4 hits on most Perception tests. I can roll if that's preferable.

[Jack_Spade]

There is a hidden safe in the master bedroom - cheap model with R3 security

The home security and entertainment system is a bit more sophisticated with R4 security host (A3 S4 D6 F5)

There are cameras (R2) but only outdoors and in the common rooms downstairs.

The mag lock is also an R4 model
