As a note I support the theory of Limo's having drivers, at the very least to open the doors for the passengers.

Is it just me, or does that give you a bad feeling as well, coming from the GM. biggrin.gif

I was just trying to simulate Clarke's attitude, no honestly...

If I was trying to screw you over I'd be suggesting sometype of roof top raid...
Thanee
Heh.

BTW, is it possible to hack into a car's autopilot system?
Is it somehow connected to the matrix?

Or would you need to hack into the GPS satellite to attack the autopilot from there? wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
depends on the set up,but yes cars are hackable if they have wireless set ups.
Thanee
Basically assuming a standard car here... is that more like standard or more like an exotic modification?

Well, if it uses wireless gridguilde and hte band haven't been to denver before, then you can in theory hack the gridguide to guide them to (Thought creativley placed "traffic jams" etc)... wherever.
Ophis
Standard is to be at least connected to grid guide as an early warning system most often to drive the car in normal circumstances.
Ankle Biter
Ah, fair enough then, guess we may need to get to the limo before the drivers do then...
Ophis
Okay given comments can Dranem give another datasearch+browse test for Reggie please.

On a disguise note, astral perception does ignore nanopaste, but if the assenser hasn' sen the aura before he gets no clue to the fact the target is in disguise, unless he gets emotional info, which is where con comes in. Also note that 5 successes on Assensing is what would be needed, most security mages will have problems with that as the prolly have about 8 dice.

This has been a ref info post. Please move along.
Thanee
Felice will also browse for any information concerning awakened band members plus any info on previous occurances, where magic was involved (maybe hinting some at their typical magical security).

Fellice will find some reference that Kelly Malaise is an artists way adept. This seems to be mostly rumour.
Hecate Kincaide claims to be in tune with the astral, but she seems to be flakey rather than for real.
Ankle Biter
Sounds doable. Wonder if she has a totem...
Ophis
Andrew Eldritch obviously. smile.gif

Sorry about very low posting rate from me, new temp job with 1.5 hour+ commute leaves me fairly drained when I get back, will try to post more as I get used to it.
Dranem
I also much appologize for gaps in my posting.. My kids are in town so I'm not online the amount of time I used to...
I need to edit my last post to include the info roll I'll be doing later this morning at home...

As a note I'm going on vacation at the end of the month for 1 1/2 weeks... while I'll still be available most of the time (bringing a laptop with me) There is a weekend camping to PEI at the end of the month were I will be away from my computer... so I'll post before I leave and as soon as possible when I get back.
Ophis
Cool, no worries,just keep us all informed.

Felice laughs. “Yeah, I can see that. Our next job is to protect a band of rock stars on their travels.”

Fabulous, thats almost better than the actual next run I have planned.

Thanee felice gets a point of karma for that one.
Thanee
Sweet, thanks! smile.gif

Thanee
Ophis
Just reminding people we're still here. I'll make rols for reggies search stuff if I hear nothing from dranem by friday.
Thanee
What kind of rolls would be appropriate?

Felice can try some data search (Data Search+Logic or Browse?), and she can do some legwork with her contacts (Etiquette+Cha?).

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
data search and browse to get details about the limo company...

anyone may feel free to make approprate seeming tests. Feel free to add in contacts connections where they seem appropriate (hell roll the seperately) I'll work everything into a "legwork montage".
Thanee
Alright, then... let's see...

[ Spoiler ]


As for contacts, Felice can also ask Fang to help find some useful clues about the band.

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Thanee feel free to roll fangs connection.
Thanee
Just the Connection Rating, or anything else?

Bye
Thanee
Ankle Biter
Waiting response for Thanee's question.

I reckon that my contact should have some level knowledge skill about awakened people...
Ophis
For just asking contacts stuff in legwork add connection as bonus dice to the roll. So thanee roll connection and add it to the hits you already got. If you want the contact to actually do some work for you tell me and I'll make relevant test.
Thanee
Ahh... ok. Got you now. smile.gif

I'll edit the roll into the above post where the other roll is.

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
okay duly noted, everyone else, make some rolls too if you would. If I here nothing I'll roll for Dranem (As i have info on what he'slooking for)
Dranem
Ok, I'm back in town... I was suppose to make those rolls before I left.... Sorry, things have been so busy here...

Personal Internet access has been reduced at work, so my forum time will be only at home... But I'll try my darndest to keep up with the game from here on. I won't be at my Mom's anymore, so it should be easier.
Ophis
Cool beans, nice to have you back.
Ankle Biter
Anybody planning to do more at the original meet? if not Ophis may want to just do a custscene to say that we arranged to meet up again in 2 days at the nearest stuffer shack, just to move the plot along a bit...
Thanee
Other than looking for some info to have a foundation for the planning, not really. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
If anyone else wants to make some rolls to talk to contacts please state. Then i can sum it up all in one post and we can get things moving. AB if you want to talk to your contact roll cha+etiquette+his connection. The info gathering will take a few days, I see no point in doing it blow by blow.
Ankle Biter
Roll to find out about the band's magical backup/magical status from my talismonger.

[ Spoiler ]
Tattered~Seraphim
I'll make some rolls in a bit once I figure out what Alastor's doing.
Ophis
Right, Im going to make rolls for Reggie tonite unless dranem posts something IC about Felice and Shivers calls. the actual info will come up here in spoilers.

Okay info gained by people...

Reggie - the limo company they are using is called Smooth Ride Limo, you have a location for their office and matrix address. They make good drivers, good rep for privacy, nothing terrifying on a security front, ie they're not awful but also not perfectly secure, the drivers are in some cases bribable(within limits).

Felice - You'll get confirmation of the matrix rumours, you picked up.

Shiver - Kelly malaise is probably a fairly weak artists way adept, fairly close to burn out. The band travel with a mage to cover security. He's provided by Shield personal security services. The company only has a moderate rep as per their effectiveness as security. Not bribable, solid but not amazingly skilled personal (3-4s on skills in rule terms). looks like the band is expecting no real trouble, beyond their self mutilating sickop fans...
Tattered~Seraphim
What rolls do I need to make?
Ophis
Cha+etiquette(Influence SG)+rating of contact used.
Tattered~Seraphim
Gah, as out of those skills listed, i can only use cha, and got rolls of 5, 3, 3 = 1 hit. Damn.
Thanee
That's some useful info... guess we can start making some real plans then. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Alastor - with a bit of cross referencing when Reggie's info comes in you would be able to find another limo firm that uses the same model of limos as the band's.
Ophis
Anyone wanting to write up legwork feel free. just do it soon.
Thanee
Will post something tomorrow. smile.gif

Bye

Eury legwork time:

Moonwolf, roll cha+etiquette+alek's connection.
