Finn Team--the hacker tracking down the van will cost 500

Full Version: OOC: Working Days
As I had not seen any activity, I bumped the IC thread a bit, rolling for people.

Apologies, course has final monday, been busy studying. Rub your lucky rabbits feet for me, folks; need to pass to graduate.
Best of luck!
Quick FYI folks--I will be offline for the next 48 hours as I fly out to Dallas for work. Expect posts from me on Tuesday. It'd be nice if people can have a plan figured out by that point and etiquette rolls/questions for the meet up on the Finn team.
Exec team--Any rolls you'd like to throw out there with the new info?

Just bumping to keep us current. Everyone still out there?
yup
Are there any rolls that people would like to make on the info gained or responses to other players IC questions?
Vegas--do we have an update on MJ?

McQ - He's coming back... got internet again and should be catching up in his games ASAP in between work and stuff.
I'll try to do A'ja legwork in the morning/evening tomorrow around work.

Just got the web back like Vegas said 
I trying to catch up on all the stuff I've missed in the past month or so.
Since I'm working all weekend, I probably won't be able to get back on the ball before monday.

MJ--It's good to have you back on board.
The whole story is a litte blurry in my head, even tho I've read most of the thread by now.
I'm still a little confused as to how this video thing has any link with what we're trying to accomplish.... or whats Finn's part in the whole thing...

The video was provided by one of your teammates' (Sparky/Fade) contacts. He didn't provide any information about it other than that it smelled of a cover-up.
Finn's part is from the files of the operational failure to extract Finn, who was believed to have information about the the TAO project. Watanabe's personnel failed to extract him last time and he is a possible lead for additional info.

Ok, I just want all of us to have our current facts straight:
1- Takara had some of it's data stolen from an offline storage facility located in Bellevue. Said data has to do with the TAO program.
2- We have a memo who seems to be originating from Ikedea, that implicates them indirectly in the data theft.
3- We somehow know that a person named Finn has some intel on who might have stolen the data.
Thats pretty much where we stand info wise.
As for the rest, the team is now split up in two:
Aja and Ludi taking care on following up the memo route and the more "legit" leads, while the rest of the team is suiting up to "extract" Finn.
All good up to know?

McQ-
Like mentionned, Ludi is going to try to get in touch with Prestige Technologies to see if they'd be willing to offer any help/info concerning the data theft that took place.

MJ--Sounds accurate. For Prestige, are there any social skills you'd like to throw at that?
I'm still here, BTW. Now officially a college graduate, BTW, as of two weeks back, though the paper (and my official grad date) dun come til after 31 August.
I just...don't see where I'd be useful.

Well, Ludmilla was mostly thinking about going through "someone" back at the head office for this kind of corp-to-corp talk, but if you need one, here's the only roll I could think of.
Etiquette: 03 05 02
I'm taking the reins and pushing things forward.
Are there specific questions that you want to know about/from Finn?
McQ, I'd like to roll...

I also forget what I roll for Audio&Visual perception tests.

Perception is Int + Perception, as well as any modifiers you may have. (Low light, Thermo, Vison Mag, Audio Enhancements, et al)
All of the Knowledge skills you listed seem to be Academic or Professional so they are Skill + Logic.

Penta -
I thought you were in the group that was looking into Finn and were reviewing the info Fade's contact provided?
I thought A'ja and Ludi were in an entirely separate room working on the executive memo and the data storage stuff.
Am I confused and did we all "regroup" and I missed it somewhere?

Vegas--You are correct.
Team--I'm willing to handwave a little bit of cross-pollination if you want to share data files across the network. Please just keep the conversations fixed to one room at a time, unless you specifically state that you are calling one person or going to the next room.
Penta--I will have your info posted later tonight.

Security Companies
Prestige keeps a basic internal security staffing with contracts to KE for elevated risk response scenarios. The armor that the guards were wearing was recently marketed to several smaller firms as providing superior protection and allowing for an internal record to be taken of guard activities for use in investigations. It was produced by Ares Enterprises and was first featured on KE patrols about 2 years ago.
Tactics
The guards tactics were appropriate response for an equalized threat, however it is clear that the runners were far better. Tactically, the runners moved flawlessly, taking cover and supporting one another with a practiced air. You would suspect that they were running a battle communications system which allowed for the team to keep track of each individual's position and were in constant communication.
LE PK
You can cite five or six blatant violations of thaumaturgical and weapons violations. Civillians do not have the right to wield automatic weapons, and the body armor with the chameleon system is a restricted asset. They are obviously career criminals or an elite combat squad from one of the top security firms in masquerade.
KE Procedures
Knight Errant was not involved. The guards followed a similar set of procedures to KE SOPs however, the lack of support personnel following the initial grouping of guards shows that backup was not called in at the first sign of resistance.
Sec Procedures
See KE Procedures. It is important to note, that many guards occasionally take a maverick approach to Shadowrunners. None of the guards in this footage showed any desire to switch to that "special" clip or back-up piece in an effort to wound or unreasonably defend their charges. The professionalism of the security force, speaks well to their training.
The Audio Enhancement adds its rating in extra dice for aural tests. Spatial Recognizer adds +2 dice to identify the source of a sound.

Okay, now doing Perception check:
Aural Perception (Intuition 4 + Perception 3 + Audio Enhancement 3):

Mmm, the dice love me this week. Which means they'll suck next week.
Visual perception (Int 4 + Per 3):
4 [6] [5] 4 2 1 4 - 2 hits. Aww. The dice giveth, the dice taketh away.

Visual Perception- Nothing unusual stands out beyond my previous description of the fight.
Aural Perception- You are able to pick up low murmuring from the woman casting. Judging by the words and gestures, she is a non-standard spellcaster. (Magic Knowledge for further info)

Howdy folks, sorry for the abrupt and unannounced disappearance. I'm going to be withdrawing from most of my online commitments.
Work has been intense and will become moreso as the months pass (until some time in 08). I should have done this a month ago. I've talked to McQ and apprised him of the situation. He's got carte blanche to do with Fade as he pleases.
Good luck sorting out the mess between Ikeda and Takara.
...I'm not leaving DS, just laying really REALLY low. 'What's-that-lump-in-the-carpet' low.

Sorry I haven't responded. Life flared up suddenly with emergencies and work and then all hell broke loose here in Minneapolis. Been kind of laying low for a little while. I'll be getting back to the swing of things this week as soon as I can.
Vegas: Hope nobody you knew (or, er, you) was involved w/ that bridge collapse.
I'm safe, as are friends/family. Thanks Penta

A'ja is gonna reach out to her various contacts, looking for any word on someone hired to hit Prestige Tech lately or anyone "showing off" with stories about pulling it off, etc. Also she's gonna tap other resources for info about the spellcaster chick from the video feeds and possibly the group she runs with. As soon as you can give me the info I'll write it all up in a post and what not to move A'ja/Ludi forward s'more.

My apologies, I missed the comment on the 10th and have been juggling a lot fo stuff at work as my new station opens Monday.
Note: I will be at GenCon Indy, anyone who is going I hope to see you there, everyone who is not, this of course means that my internet access will be spotty. I will get a bump up today, and if possible (based on player actions) Tuesday Aug 14 before I leave.
