So I think AM doing it is the safest thing at least I think she is better than an agent. Jack what rolls do I need?

Rolls may depend on what we want to do?
1) download the data (see what else, besides us, they picked up) -- presumably a) get a mark, b) matrix perception to check for encryption/data bomb, then c) edit file (I think do this for sure)

2) delete the data of SIS searching the house (especially the part where we found things) -- just another edit file roll, assuming that 1 was done first. (I think also do this for sure)

3) Put a tracer program in that alerts us when the repository is accessed (could it also tell us by who? I'm not sure). To insert it would once again be edit file (operating program instead of the memory), but up to Jack if something like a software+logic roll is needed to create the tracer in the first place. (I think this is worthwhile, as we probably don't want to wait around to see who else accesses it, but if Tamarind puts up some aerial drones in the area and the tracer sends them an alert, then they could start looking for signs of who might be doing it. (I think this is a good plan, but not a 'must do')

As posted in the IP:

If you want to mark the files you can try your hand on a Software+Logic [Sleaze] 20 (10 Minutes) test to create a program that sends a message to you from the device they are copied to, identifying the device/persona
This is a modified Data Bomb, so all rules and programs pertaining to the Set Data Bomb action are available.

Otherwise, yes, what Beta wrote.

I hope I am getting it right:

1. Buying 4 hits for F4 magic finger,

no drain connect the cable.
She stops sustaining after cable is connected.
2. logic intuition augmented Trouble sustains one of them - buying 4 hits for the spell rolling just drain.
https://orokos.com/roll/1045731: 2#11d6t5 2 7

Trouble sustains one spell, AM the other - (logic)

Hacking:
she has 20 dice so buy 5 hits. (22 dice)
Matrix perception: buy 5 hits (20 dice total)(hot sim)
if no protection edit file: buy 5 hits (22 dice total). copy the data,
if there is protection buy 5 hits on cracking the file.
-- if there is a data bomb let me know I'll roll because its an important roll.
databomb + magic + hot sim: 17d6t5 8 not entirely sure about the limit it is at least 6.

buy 5 hits for edit file to delete our own data from the apartment.
Trouble stop sustaining AM sustain her logic spell while coding.

Then put a tracer program.
making the software takes 50 minutes.
1. extended coding: 17d6t5 4
2. extended coding 2: 16d6t5 5
3. extended coding 2: 15d6t5 5
4. extended coding 2: 14d6t5 3
5. Buy 3 hits - to reach 20 successes.

I didn't have time to go look for what programs I want to use, if there is anyone making is shorter feel free to smack me with the rule book.

AM's astral perception: astral perception: 13d6t5 4
not good enough sadly.

AM is busy programming anyway - though you could roll for trouble

In case that becomes relevant at some point...

I just realized that I missed 2 dice on the spellcasting test for Manascape (just rolled those 2 dice and added it to the original post here in OOC, which added one more hit to the total).

Bye
Thanee

OH! Trouble saves the day!

Nice job Trouble!

But that aura description is certainly sounds like (lower case 't') trouble. (or possibly something in the monad range? Hopefully time will tell!)

Maybe something like those Spirit-Sprite amalgamations, that were mentioned?

Bye
Thanee

A cooperate recruiter impressed by AM's coding skills ?

So, anything you want to do, otherwise I'll continue with their action

Maybe a spirit-sprite amalgamations, but I don't know if Trouble would interpret that as cyberware. Although the rolling pattern of the lights changing would either indicate a strong connection to the Matrix and/or remote Matrix overwatch support.

I wonder if a strong concentration of nanites would have that sort of effect on an aura, as they constantly move through the bloodstream. Yes, like a Monad, now that Beta mentions it.

Edit: we could see if they respond to Trouble on the astral, or Rachel's friends.

Miss a day and miss a lot of posts sometimes! Tamarind's actions finally posted (out of sequence with the conversation)

The billboard is completely dead - not just matrix damage dead, but cut wires dead

@Jack: AM presumably grabbed the data and did the edits before spending time on the tracker? So I'd expect that we have whatever data was stored there. (maybe doesn't show much besides SIS searching the apartment, but we'll certainly check if there is anything else interesting) Let us know if that isn't how you see the timing.

@Everyone else: What is your vote on trying to be stealthy and lose any monitoring, vs just going fast? (or some third option?)

Yeah, you managed to edit yourself out of the data before it was collected - not that they need it now since they face IDd you directly.

The data didn't show anything else of interest? (we expect that the crew we just met were the ones who were in there earlier, but multiple groups is not impossible -- so just checking that it didn't catch the period that was edited out of the camera at the house)

I think, stealthy is good. We would need fake IDs and different appearance, though, otherwise there is no point.

Bye
Thanee
