I have edited the last lines of my post because I forgot that driving to the airport in Blackjack's car would not be good.

Leo, Grendel, Grey, fortune, and TKG have posted, where is everyone else?

Warding:

Magic: 5
Ward Force: 5
Drain: Immaterial with Trauma Damper!
Time needed: 5 hours

Roll: 1, 1, 3, 5, 6 (2 successes)

Force 5 Ward should last 2 weeks.

Ok the ward will be done at 1300 hours (1pm) game time. Very creative Fortune, I hadn't thought of the possibility of putting a ward on a plane. I read the rules (twice) and couldn't find anything the says you can't do it, so good job. You are certainly going to have to make me work harder now.

Still waiting on the following people to post.

Chance
Jr. Woodchuck

Thanks.

IIRC, the write up for Wards specifically mentions their use with vehicles.

Right. So Blackjack hasn't actually gotten to the airport yet; she's in transit. Does the gear in the white van have our names on it or anything? Blackjack won't really know what to pick up unless the stuff is labeled.

I think my IC post answered your question Leo, if not let me know.

THe time you leave depends on you guys, I would assume you will leave at night, and yes it will probably be raining. Though you and Chance haven't arrived at the hanger yet...

Well I was going to catch a ride with Grendel, I would assume that its impossible for me to ride my bike in this weather, so I was planning on ditching it at the Troll Bar. Suggestions on how I can get there?

You could assume that you did catch a ride with either Grendel or Warpath, who dropped you off at your residence the night before before arriving at the hangar. That way, you can just make arrangements from there.

Yeah that sounds like a plan, we'll say that Del road with Gren, had to get soe stuff, and just needs to call Grendel who can send his car for him.

Perception check: 9,8,10,2
Stealth complimentary check (if applicable): 5,4,4,2,3

I had said that Sedryk was sitting next to Warpath in his truck on the way there. I shall post an arrival.

Perception check: 3, 2, 4, 8, 4, 2

Here is the perception check you asked for.

2, 3, 3, 5, 9, 14

Just out of curiosity, and this doesn't have to mean anything, but what are you guys going to do when Sea-Tac asks who you are?

Don't ask the muscle such difficult questions... do you mean on the ground or in the air?

Game time it is 1300 hours. The storm is still raging hard, winds 70mph. Am I unders standing this right that you guys are planning on leaving now?

Not that I know of. I thought we were just getting together to test stuff and form a plan of action. Plus, I think the decker was gunna do some looking around for us as well. Though... I could be wrong.

Gimmie a stealth roll TKG...

Stealth roll (+ EA):

5,4,2,9,2,5,4

Not to mention the +8 for the suit's ruethinium and a further +6 thermal dampening. He's rather hard to see with sensors.

Well, no one ever seemed to want to commit to a PLAN.

Like I suggested in character, how about a cover story of doing aerial surveys? We're doing geo-thermal readings looking for fossil fuel deposits. Good?

I just had a cool idea though! We can lie and say that we are on vacation for a few days. Hunting (with really big time ammo), climbing. The parachutes are for fun because we want to jump out of the plane when we get to where we are going because we're all a bunch of crazy mothafuckas!!!

Well, right now my plan is to give the little drone on the wall a bunch of lies and then disable the fragger after we've done all we can to make use of it. After that, the cover story for the flight will have to fall on more creative minds than my own. I'd say the survey route is probably a good one since the craft registry might still indicate that (it'd be a good idea to find out what it's registered as, actually, since if it's designated as scrap, that'd change things, etc.).

Attempting remote control network infiltration:

1. Both the targeted deck and the intruder's deck must be within range of each other, which depends on flux. My flux is now 9, which gives me a range of 25 km.

2. The intruder may attempt infiltration by rolling a number of dice equal to his Electronics (electronic warfare) skill against a target number of 6. Apply a modifier equal to the difference between the target's remote-control deck rating and the rating of the intruder's protocol emulation module. I'm specifically looking for the system channel. One success will mean that I locate that channel in 30 seconds. More than one success will divide the base time as usual.

TN: 6+( X-8 )
EW Skill: 9
Dice roll: 5,5,5,5,4,4,2,1,1

If I have no successes, I will expend one karma for reroll. Assuming that I have at least one success, I will continue with the MIJI attack as follows. If I still do not have one success, I will instruct Warpath to terminate the drone.

3. Defeating deck encryption. Make a decryption test against a target number equal to encryption rating + 4. Electronic warfare may be used as a complementary skill for this test. The character must achieve a number of successes greater than half the transmitting device's encryption rating, rounded up. The base time to decrypt the signal is (encryption rating x 5) minutes, divided by extra successes.

TN: encryption+4
Decryption module rating: 8
EW Skill: 9
Dice roll: 13,11,7,5,4,1,1,1 + (11,8,7,5,4,4,3,2)

If I am unsuccessful in this decryption attempt, I will expend one karma for reroll. If I remain unsuccessful, I will instruct Warpath to terminate the drone. If, however, I successfully decrypt the signal, I will continue with the MIJI attack as follows.

4. The MIJI test. The intruder rolls a number of dice equal to his electronics warfare skill against a target number equal to the rating of the targeted remote control deck. The intruder's flux rating may be used as complementary dice for this part of the test. The targeted rigger rolls a number of dice equal to his electronics (electronic warfare) skill, with complementary dice equal to his flux rating. The targeted rigger's target number is equal to the rating of the intruder's protocol emulation module.

TN: targeted rigger's deck rating
EW Skill: 9
Flux: 9
Dice roll: 8,5,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,2 + (11,7,5,5,4,3,2,1,1)

I will spend a karma to reroll all failures. The targeted rigger will immediately know that he is under attack. If I have more successes than him, I will begin to degrade his system channel which has the practical effect exactly like wound modifiers: 1 box = +1 to target numbers, 3 boxes = +2, etc. Likewise, if the targeted rigger has more successes, my system channel will suffer the degradation.

The targeted rigger has a number of options open to him, although each MIJI action/attack is a complex action. He can counterattack in the same manner, rolling his EW skill plus flux against my deck rating (10). He can disengage from the attack, which gives me control over all the drones currently associated to his network. His last, and probably best option, is to switch over all of his control codes. This takes a number of combat turns equal to deck rating x 2. He can reduce this time by making an electronics (control systems) test against a target number equal to the deck's rating. Each success divides the base time as usual. Once the switch-over is initiated, the rigger is immediately placed in captain's chair mode and his remote control network goes to stand-by. He cannot issue commands to his drones, and all sensor and perception tests are made at a +2 modifier. I, the intruding rigger, am immediately kicked out of the system and must begin the MIJI process again.

Phew, thanks for all the help there Grendel, it took me an hour of pawing over the books and the enemy rigger to make sure I had it all right. Hope you enjoy the action guys.

Grendel's got the rigger stuff down man. I think it's his favorite type of character, just like mine's the mages.

By the way, Blackjack doesn't like violence. I do, but she doesn't.

Blackjack's initiative roll: 6+1D6 = 9

Of course, I realize that this will probably be resolved long after everyone else's actions:

Run for cover (No action)
Drop Prone (Free Action)
Ready Weapon (Simple Action)
Observe in Detail (Simple Action), Perception Test: 3, 1, 2, 9, 2, 5

Warpath's initiative: 12+3d6=21

Move to plane and get AACG (simple action)
Load ex-ex clip (simple action)
Move toward doors

Total movement this round is 24m so he'll only be able to do a part of this. It'd have been smarter of me to grab the gun before now

[edit] After the first pass, Warpath will don a respirator from his gear and wait for a target as he continues to move. The rest of the turn will probably be wasted actions if no one rushes the building.[/edit]

Initiative: rigged in captain's chair mode: 10+1D6: 15

1st Complex action: Electronic Warfare: ECM to max: 6
Free action: Communication
2nd Complex action: Issue command to drone for suppressive fire across the opening of the hangar door from the turreted Ares Alpha, 500 rounds Ex-Explosive. The Alpha has enough recoil comp to eliminate all penalties from a 10 round burst.

Initiative check: 26

Jessie will be running to take cover behind Grendel's Bison and then taking a good look around (turning on her eye vidcam and ear recorders). If there are any targets in sight, she'll squeeze off a round at them.

As soon as everyone has a chance to post I will move on to the next round.

As the hangar stands, the Tilt rotors wings ar folded up in a triangle and meet in the middle of the craft. It's massive propellers span floor to ceiling almost. The Bison is parked to the rear and right (if you were standing facing the back wall). The hanger doors are closed (no one said but I assumed you would close after the techs left to keep the storm out.) There is a small door on the right side of the big doors (again right if you are facing the rear wall).

I'll just wait until the next combat phase.

Part of me wishes I had brought a more violent character, but everyone has their usefulness I suppose.

Belay my last order, then, I'll change the Bison's instructions to cover the man sized door and engage any targets coming through from the outside to the inside. That call will go out over the net as well.

Sorry Grendel, I should have posted that before I asked for init.

As for everyone else, I jsut want to make it clear that I need init checks and what your intention on your turn is from everyone.

So Far

Jessie 26
Warpath 21
Grendel 15
Black Jack 9


Waiting on

Danny
Delcroix
Sedryk

Getting there!

Initiative: 10

Action: Take cover and Astrally Poject.

Initiative Check: 11 + 3D6 = 22

Actions: Go prone
Holster a USP
Crawl back to Ingram Smartgun
Begin crawling to the Bison

Jessie will be holding her actions until someone shows their face.

With the layout of the place in mind now, Warpath may do something a little different. Where are the controls for the main doors?

Quickness check to search for the Ingram on the table: 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 15

This hangar is old, very old. The doors are corrugated aluminum and slide out on rails. There are no motorized controls, someone actually has to open and close them manually.

And it is ok if the people who posted before my description wish to change there posts. That was my bad.

We want maps!

Dang, everyone but Jr. and Leo are on right now. We could really move along if thery were here.

Heh, email them and tell them to get their butts on the board.

Heh, in that case, Warpath'll have to think of something. The basic idea is that he's going to knock the small door open and get out of the way before anyone can shoot him.

Ok. I know its there someplace, but for the life of me I can't find it. What are our code names again? I know its One, Two, Three, etc... but which of us is One, which is Two, etc...?

I know Danny is Three. I was searching for that specific post in vain just a little while ago.

Delacroix One, Jessie Two, Danny Three, Warpath Four, Sedryk Five, BlackJack Six.
