Living in the Shadows: OOC, never relax... Options

[paul_HArkonen]

Strep is never fun. At least they have meds for it, get feeling better.

[Slipshade]

Winter - Is the clinic empty? If not, can I get a head count and general disposition of the people there?

Slip

[WinterRat1]

Clinic's empty right now. Everything you scanned was the lingering auras of the place itself.

Paul- You're clear to post

[Sedna]

Work is, after all, what brings in the perks (roof, food, air conditioning :D).

I'm just going to write those couple of back-posts for Alleycat to answer Blaze: shouldn't be any problem, it wasn't like she was in combat or talking with anyone else at that particular moment in time.

[bclements]

Just two hours? Hell, my office must be pushing up the average.

[grendel]

Roll some dice for Cosmo, Morgannah, for her perception check.

. o O (Morgannah. Now there is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Long time.)

[Morgannah]

*dances around a bit* "It's been such a long ti-ime. I think I should be go-in' .. time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on roll-in'..."

Perception: 2.3.3.3.5.8.9.11.

Hey guys. :)

<edit: now where did I put my Boston CD?>

Glad to have you back Morgannah. Missed having you around. And reading of the latest escapedes of Cosmo. Of course, now I have to hear this 'truly spectacular rant'. I will be looking for it. :)

Slip, Scrap- Whoever writes next, the kids will INSIST on coming along to the clinic. If you want to dissuade them, you'll have to roll Etiquette or Negotiation. You could try Intimidation, but that might backfire on you. Otherwise, if you'd prefer to move along and don't mind them coming, no need to roll anything.

Sedna, Paul- You're both clear to post.

Shadow- Sitting tight in ASVW, don't think Dragon has anything relevant going on right now (at least at this moment. Being in a gunfight is of course quite relevant) :cyber:

[Slipshade]

Sedna - Odd question, but how long has Alleycat been at U-dub and what classes is/has she taken?

I ask on the off chance that if she and Max ever meet they may have come into contact with each other at the university.

[Sedna]

Mariah Anne Tenisat is currently a master's student at U-Dub (psychology), she'd gotten her B.Sc. there so she'd been taking classes for several years before she had to drop out after last September. People may very well remember her: she existed.

This is Alleycat's first time on-campus.

[Slipshade]

Ok, likely not then.

Max and all of his ties are to the College of Magic and Magical Theory.

So if you or Mariah have stayed away from there, then we would not have likely run into each other.

If you or anyone else has a reason to visit that section of U-dub, I have a couple of the people written up, so ask Winter or myself for info if needed.

Slip

[Sedna]

Mariah Anne had no reason to go to that section of campus ... and Alleycat has a good reason to stay away from it :) (Sorry! but you're welcome to play with the possibility of "friends" in common.)

[Slipshade]

Not really looking for a connection, just trying to figure out continuity issues before they come up. :)

That and I noticed U-dub in your posts.

[Shadow]

I wont be posting today. James Doohan passed away this mornign and I am in mourning.

[Morgannah]

Thanks for the welcome, Winterrat! It's always nice to come back .. :wobble:

@grendel (since you always want me to roll to back up Cos' actions for some odd reason):

Okay, so sneaking over, looking the door over for information about the maglock and anything else on closer inspection of the building. If everything looks good so far, we're trying to crack the case and play with the circuit. Numbers below are unmodified and based off of a really old character sheet I had my mother send to me from the old computer (since the F drive here is still at Best Buy getting fixed and the sheet that was e-mailed last night didn't come through properly). I can reroll if the skill ratings are incorrect.

Stealth 1.2.8.10.13.

Perception 1.1.2.2.3.4.7.8.
Security Countermeasures 1.2.3.4.5.8.

*Electronics B/R 2.4.5.8.11

**Electronics 2.4.5.5.11.16.


* - Task Pool
** - Rerolling Failures (or, I'd like to once I know which rolls are failures and which are not ;) )

[grendel]

Yeah, I know, I'm just odd like that. I've got Cosmo with an electronics of 5 and an electronics B/R of 4. If you're rolling task pool for the B/R, then you've got one to many dice down for electronics.

The maglocks consist of a keypad and card reader, probably both rated around a 5 or a 6 on the Cross Universal Security Rating. Both of them probably have anti-tamper circuits as well, at least equal to half the overall security rating.

The keypad is relatively easy to defeat, taking only a minute to disassemble the casing and thirty seconds to reset the memory to factory default and key in the test pass. The card reader is going to be a little more difficult. Electronics and Electronics B/R again, please.

[Morgannah]

Edited posts on pages 51 and 65 to reflect the misunderstanding that we were dealing with a palmprint scanner rather than a cardreader. Karma pool might have been allocated differently as a result but them's the breaks, right? ;) Do your numbers include enhanced articulation, grendel?

Electronics 1.1.4.5.10

Electronics B/R 1.2.5.11

[grendel]

Yeah, at least I'm assuming that's what the number in parentheses behind the skill rating is indicating. You may want to reroll that first electronics test, card readers are difficult to open up with out setting off the alarm.

[Morgannah]

That's what they mean! Provided there's sufficient karma for the reroll, here are the results:

1.5.5.6.6.7.11.

[grendel]

Heh. It's going to take you a minute to disassemble the casing and a minute to cross-connect the magnetic reader to open the last lock.

[Morgannah]

Ewww ..

"it takes such a long ti-ime ... " :grinbig: Is that my cue to re-edit/post again?

[grendel]

Yes, absolutely.

[Moirdryd]

Hey chummers.

Sorry for falling silent AGAIN!

Seems everyytime i just about get back something else drags me away for a week or so.

My humble apologies.

Regular posting should return shortly starting with the second half as promised of the one i put up a week or so ago.

*grumbles*

Cya in the Shadows chummers.

[grendel]

At this point, I'm going to say that Marquis is delaying his action. He'll be able to act anytime in this initiative pass. You're up, Tony.

[bclements]

Ok, here we go: I'm going to ready the assault rifle, and speak.
