What!? How can that be... embarrassed.gif

Just poking my head in the room to make sure no one needs anything from me.

How long will it take to get from the safe house to the campaign HQ?
ludomastro
About 1 hour, 45 minutes, if traffic is good ... OR Jazz is on her bike wink.gif

FYI: For the next two weeks, or so, I will be working from 0500 to 1500. It should not impact my ability to post much; however, bear with me on this.
ludomastro
It looks like we need to sound off again. Is everyone still here?
Thanee
Yes, just kinda busy right now... smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Cedric Rolfsson
Ya, I'm here.
Redjack
Looks like four of us.
ludomastro
Ok, I was getting a little worried.

I understand the busy thing. Post when able. Should I fast forward to later?
Redjack
I can jump forward to 0400 anytime.
Thanee
Well, Jazz will spend some time resting and some time checking out the matrix node in order to find something exploitable for hacking in later... that will take a few hours, anyways.

Bye
Thanee
2bit
It's fine, we can jump to the morning - always important to keep moving forward! smile.gif
ludomastro
We will assume that Jazz has found a small hole in the node. Fast forwarding to 0400.

Sorry, this schedule has been far more killer than I thought. It should end by the end of next week. (Alex crosses fingers.)
Redjack
Yeah! We are in!

(( Good luck on the RL schedule. I just finished out a killer project myself. ))
Redjack
Rise and shine.
Game on!!
Redjack
<@All [Redjack] Hello? Is this thing on?>
ludomastro
Yes, 'tis on. I had to work a 12 hour shift today, so I am not much help.
Redjack
Actually I'm wondering about the other players. I thought we were trying to start a quick dialog about tactics and I haven't seen any posts for Jazz exploiting that hole you said she found...
Thanee
She hasn't yet... but will soon. She fell asleep at some point during the night. wink.gif

Posting rates will probably return to a more stable schedule next week. smile.gif

Yeah!! I hate when real life gets in the way of good fantasy..
ludomastro
Worked a 10 hour shift yesterday and a 9.5 hour shift today. I project that my posting will return to normal this week as well.
Cedric Rolfsson
I'm still paying attention, just down for a couple of days with sick kids. First one, then the other, I love life as a dad.

Someone update me, last I posted we were looking at some possible actions, and I might have missed a response or suggestions.
Redjack
After reading through the IC thread, do you have any specific questions? Dalton was agreeing with your suggestion for communication protocols and asking if anyone on the team had drones.
Redjack
@Alex
[ Spoiler ]

Cedric Rolfsson
No, I've re-read this and I think we just need to pick an action and get moving. I don't know if we're going to head down to the target's HQ and recon or we're establishing security or we're splitting up and doing both or what.

If we've got a team headed downtown to target's HQ fine but lets figure out who's going and who's staying.

I agree a communication protocol is definitely called for.
2bit
whatre some examples of communication protocol we could use? I don't really use them in my games, but it's something Vick would know all about.
Redjack
I provided a little clearer post as to the suggested course of action to kick us off.
How does that look?
ludomastro
I'm good with where you are going. Let me know what you need.

@Redjack

Thanee
I guess I should make some rolls for hacking in, once Jazz is ready. smile.gif

And you get one test against her Stealth Rating, as usual.

But of course.

Probing the Target (Extended Test)

After 4 hours, Jazz will have enough hits (total: 20).

p. 221, last paragraph under Probing the Target describes what the system rolls (Stealth is 6).

Bye
Thanee
ludomastro
@Thanee

1 Hit for System

Jazz is in! Roll for Reality Filter.
Thanee
Reality Filter: 5 hits

Rolled that without the bonus from the Reality Filter figured in.

Bye
Thanee
ludomastro
@ Thanee

Jazz is in. As I am unsure of your image filter preferences, please carry on.

As it will be after 0600 when we get downtown, I'll hold off posting until Jazz gets some information and we can talk to her while in transit.
ludomastro
I won't be on until much later tonight as a good friend of mine is shipping out to Iraq and we - the neighborhood - decided to have a BBQ tonight for the family.
Redjack
How did the BBQ go? Well I hope.
Thanee - Are you up here?
Thanee
Yep... sorry. smile.gif

Erasing Traces: 4 hits

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Sorry, it appears I was the one delinquent in posting. Working on it now...
ludomastro
BBQ went very well. He shipped out this weekend heading to Mississippi for training before going over. The family is taking it about as well as can be imagined. Otherwise, things are good.

Let me know if there is something specific that you want to know.
Redjack
[ I've had not one, but two nephews on tour in Iraq. I know how stressful that can be. ]

I hope to see some more character building posts from 2Bit and Cedric (I know Cedric won't be back online till Monday), but I think we need some analyze work by Thanee and perhaps some more use of her browse program while we are en route..
ludomastro
I go with that.

Thanee, please roll Analyze for Jazz on the data. I'll let you pick wether you want to do it at a high level (one roll) or sub categories (multiple).
Thanee
One roll is fine... lesse...

Bye
Thanee
Thanee
Not bad. smile.gif

Computer + Analyze 6 hits

ludomastro
Ok, sorry for the delay folks. We had some equipment break down today at work so my schedule got chucked out the window early this morning.

Redjack
Everybody still here?

I think we need more information on the legislation and we need to determine if there are any patterns on the money we believe is coming from the Azzies..

Anybody else have any ideas?
Cedric Rolfsson
I'm still here
ludomastro
Yeah, I'm still here. I am on a business trip and have been tied up in all day meetings.

Here is the info on the Legislation:

The main point of the legislation would outlaw or more correctly make illegal laws that discriminate on the basis of meta-type. I would set up the equivalent of affirmative action for metas and would provide incentives and penalties for the hiring (or not) of metas. Also, there are provisions (still in draft form and obviously argued over) that would extend a get deal of social programs to the meta-underpriveledged.
Redjack
QUOTE (Cedric Rolfsson)

Any input, banter, ideas?

I guess I'm ready to arrive at the area, give it the once over. Get an idea of the surveillance and security at the campaign HQ and start digging into our paradoxes..
