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.

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?

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
Jul 12 2006, 09:28 AM
Standard is to be at least connected to grid guide as an early warning system most often to drive the car in normal circumstances.

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.

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.

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.

Just reminding people we're still here. I'll make rols for reggies search stuff if I hear nothing from dranem by friday.
Thanee
Jul 27 2006, 12:14 PM
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
Jul 28 2006, 11:14 PM
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
Jul 29 2006, 07:28 AM
Alright, then... let's see...
[ Spoiler ]
Data Search + Browse
3 hits (too bad we don't count 4's as well

).
+ Connection (Fang)
0 hitsAs for contacts, Felice can also ask Fang to help find some useful clues about the band.

Waiting response for Thanee's question.
I reckon that my contact should have some level knowledge skill about awakened people...
Ophis
Jul 31 2006, 09:39 AM
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
Jul 31 2006, 03:34 PM
Ahh... ok. Got you now.

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

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
Aug 2 2006, 11:29 AM
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.

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.

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.
Tattered~Seraphim
Aug 6 2006, 10:17 AM
Aims for Alastor:
Ophis:
[ Spoiler ]
1) Using any knowledge he has of businesses and Denver shadows to make discrete enquiries about the possibility of acquiring a limo sans driver for hire, under the pretence of being a young businessman looking to hire a limo for a day to take some businessmen he's looking at making a deal with around town, when need be.
2) Try and sneek into his parent's house when he knows that his father's out, and get into the library. Using his magical theory knowledge, he wants to search the library for any useful spells for the run, such as shielding to hide spells cast, any useful sleep spells, etc. If he runs across anyone in the house, he'll tell them that he's come to pick up some of the stuff he's left behind whilst he's been getting his own place set up.

point 2 won't help spells don't really get listed in books in that way, most specifically hiding spells is a trick for initiates not spell casting.

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
Aug 8 2006, 04:28 PM
