Only to reach Aurora, we'd have to go through the CAS (maybe through Parker). Otherwise we find a security hole from the PCC district into the FRFZ (Front Range Free Zone), possibly contend with the Zone Defense Force, go around to the UCAS side of the fence and find another hole there...
(actually that's probably our best bet, anyone have a helicopter or such)

Anklebiter, the blue guy has some cyber and is completely mundane.

Tattered~Seraphim-

Everyone else the elf looks like this

That he's important or antything;)

Check the IC section and you'll see

Well, I like the fact the J is offering us guides. I don't have any Coyotes in my contacts, and though Reg knows the holes, the Coyote's knowledge of patrols would be a great help.
Reg will put in a vote for guides across the borders when I next pose.

@Ophis
So this blue elf is a ghost? My Shadowland data search doesn't bring up anything on him?

Ophis:

Sorry Dranem missed that, i'm still waking up, but hey matrix searches take time.

Dranem

@Ophis

*Sniggers* Thankfully, Alastor's been running for long enough to know enough about the Denver Shadows to be able to identify him. It just suddenly hit me that I knew ooc who it was.

Okay, it is only fair for me to introduce the first "guest" player, in a cameo at the mo. Metatron is played by Metatron (can you tell he's one of her favorite characters?).

Tattered~Seraphim

Hiya, just lurking..

*Sniggers*

I think I might (or not) feel better once the team actually gets to meet Little Boy Blue properly.....

ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha

Why do you think I said it then, eh?

For those of us, that do not know Denver inside out... what are those Coyotes? A tribe of natives? Gangers? Smugglers?

Bye
Thanee

Coyotes (often known as guides) are professional border hoppers. They know the weakpoints in the zone walls, the guard patrols, etc. If you don't want to mess with border guards, a coyote is your best bet to get you across town.

what Dranem said, thank you for fielding that question.

Thanks!

@Ankle Biter:

I pretty much took it for granted that the skinlink was the original request, then established a tight area wireless network... Something Reggie created if it wasn't there, and how I beamed the signal to Felice. I guess we could have had a combination skin/wireless depending on who was still touching Shiver. I'm not about to be picky about it, as Reg will skip from one to the other as needed, and the wireless was encrypted among those I polled from Shiver's subscription list.

Otherwise it would look like we're all one big happy family holding hands.

I'm just toching somebody next to me as I have no encryption on my box, so anything I broadcast can be intercepted, I am assuming the commlinks with encryption are then retransmitting as necessary.... If I have this wrong I guess I don't follow how commnets work, sorry.

Just thought it was worth mentioning.

It's clearing a few things up for me too. I assumed initially that it was a skinlink request, then a wireless signal network that got established.

That actually sounds like you got it right initially... the skinlink request can only be meant as a subtle way to set up a private wireless communication network. Basically a means to give you something to connect to without broadcasting it for everyone in the vincinity to see, since you usually don't have any means to target a signal at a specific commlink without having some sort of 'handle' or 'address' for the commlink in question. I suppose technomancers can do such stuff, but a simple commlink most likely can't, without previously sniffing on the various commlinks in the area and filtering out the one to send the request to specifically, once you find something to identify it by (if there is anything even).

What Shiver did (IMHO) is to broadcast the request to set up a network into the skin's energy field, hoping for a skinlinked commlink to pick up on that request (which is also why it didn't work with Felice, since she has no skinlink on her commlink).

Something else worth of note... all the awakened (and everyone else without any implanted DNI (i.e. cyber-commlink or datajack) or technomancy) will need trodes to actually use the private communication channel like we do.

You need a way to translate thoughts into data for that, which is exactly what the trodes and datajacks do.

Hope I got everything right there.

Bye
Thanee

yep, thats my take, however, subvocal mikes or just using text would work fine and be fairly subtle. Trodes let you do it with no sign of activity

As an aside, is it possible to maintian one physical and one 'trode conversation' simultaneously?

Not without effort, speaking and using DNI are both under free actions, so as long as your only walking or doing simple actions it's possible, try actively thinking and speaking about different things, you get a bit distracted right?

Can I get visual perception tests at -2 for everyone as you leave Denim please.

Visual Perception

Vision check.

Sure:

Those rolls came in fast...

Lowlight and Thermo cancel out penalties not give bonuses.

Just a note to everyone, there are 6 of you and I know two of you have no transport of your own, and racing bikes handle like pigs with passengers.(they've always been one seat inprevious editions and I see no reason this would change).
The team does have enough transport, I checked. But you should sort that IC.

No it was to anklebiters question about if they gave any bonuses to the test. Rereading it it is awful. Thermo and Lowlight, cancel or at least reduce various light related penelties to vision, rather than giving bonuses. I that clearer?
The -2 is due to the distracting nature of a night club(or indeed anywhere crowded/noisy/weirdly lit).

Yes It's clear.
Thanks a lot.

Would the actively looking +3 perception modifier apply to this roll (since Felice is actively looking for people interested in them), or does it not apply (since she doesn't know exactly what to look for, like a specific person or somesuch)?

Bye
Thanee

don't count it your scanning to wide an area.
I'd count it if you're watching someone leaving via a specific door for example.

Perception + INt:

Ophis

Dranem, could you make a smuggling routes knowledge skill. Threshold 4 please.
