I was thinking for a reason for why Felice is hiring the limo, and what SIN to use for that.

But I guess she will just drive around town to visit the hot spots, have some fun, meet some guys, and so on...

Hey anyone about? the mage converstaion appears to have stalled. Dranem do you wnat to do the actuall going into the system to see if you can hack a proper access code? Thanee feel free to move the limo stuff on, the info that you're looking for would help my end.

Sorry for the delays in my posts... been busy and not spending enough time on the boards...
I'll have my IC pose later, soon as I catch up on things and sort out how I want to word it.

[edit]
Umm.. do you have a fixed idea for a sculpted environment for this node, or is their network using the generic set of icons? Or, in other words, can I ben inventive in my description, or do I have to follow a set pattern?
Ophis
Oct 25 2006, 08:22 AM
No set idea so go for it.

Okies, Reggie sets offf no alarm. It's data search+browse (4) to find the registry, and an exploit+edit (2/4/6) roll (user/security/admin). Carry on, whats the reference too?
Dranem
Nov 2 2006, 04:21 AM
I was going for an early 20s-50s style dispatch office/cab station. Where each desk is in incomming line handler. orders are processed at the desk or routed to other desks for verification. the tubes are e-mails, message, and job orders that the central dispatcher sends out.
The 'clerks' are programs running specific tasks.
I could have gone for the generic iconic set, but being a limo company, I figured this company had enough cash to create a cultured node.
I love decking, and since 4th edition has come out I've pretty much used a base on how networks work today, combined with SR3 matrix designs to get a better feel of how the whole virtual landscape should look like - seeing as it's woefully missing in the 4th Ed rules.
I need to roll my stealth so that I appear like part of the node. I'll have the sprite use it's stealth forms to hide itself and Alastor from any probe IC. Do you want a roll for Sprite as well?
[ Spoiler ]
Hacking (3) + Stealth (5) + VR (2) = 10 dice
[6] 3 [6] 2 2 2 [6] 2 1 [6] = 4 hits on stealth
Data Search (3) + Browse (5) + VR (2) = 10 dice
4 [6] 3 [5] 4 [6] [6] 1 [6] 2 = 5 hits on Registry search
Threading the next roll to give me extra dice..
Resonance (5) + Software (3) = 8 dice
[5] 4 4 [6] [5] 1 [6] [6] = 5 hits
Resist Drain:
Resonance (5) + Willpower (4) = 9 dice
1 2 [5] 2 3 [6] 2 4 [6] = 3 hits: Reg takes 2 boxes of damage and develops a small nose bleed.
Hacking (3) + Exploit (5) + VR (2) + Threading (5) = 15 dice
[5] [6] [6] 1 3 [5] 4 3 [6] 4 [6] 3 [5] 2 [6] = 8 hits - I gain Admin access to the user registry. (worth the headache)

Sorry for the delays in my next post.. some idiot at work did something stupid - and we no longer have web access for personal use.
I've spent most of this morning catching up on my website - which needed some major updating (still does, but at least I got the ball rolling). As it's 6am and I'm a bit tuckered out, I'll get a post out after I've had a bit of rest and time to compose myself.

Taking a look at the IC, I realized, that the last action took place on the morning of the 11th; Felice hired the limo for the evening of the 12th. Should I just move on to there then?

Dranem
Nov 18 2006, 10:15 PM
Ok, I must admit... the length in time since my last post is partially due to the fact that I don't know what to do next....
I can think of two things off the top of my head:
1) Check the reservations node to see if the details for the band's pick up and and intended route has already been decided.
2) Leave my sprite in the node to monitor how information between the host and the cars gets handled during Felice's night out.. that way I'll know how to intercept traffic control, overrides if needed.
Does Eury have anymore ideas?
Ophis
Nov 19 2006, 09:34 AM
I suspect you mean Alastor.
You could set up a fake account with the system to allow easy access in the future. Though both ideas you had seem reasonable.
Tattered~Seraphim
Nov 19 2006, 12:33 PM
I'd go with Ophis and agree with setting up the fake account. I'd also say that Reggie starts setting up the diversion tactics ready for the run.

No probs, if you can give me Visual and Audio Perception tests so I can gauge any titbits of info you get.

Sure thing!
[ Spoiler ]
Perception (visual) - 4 hitsPerception (audio) - 6 hitsHere's also a Disguise test for
Felice I made earlier (and then forgot to mention

), changing her appearance a little (hair style/color, slight changes to her face, etc) so she isn't easily reckognized.
Disguise - 3 hits Nice rolls!

Cool.
The Limo is swish, well protected - crash foam and plenty of well hidden armour, the driver isn't packing any heat. The passenger cabin is fully enviro sealed and seperated from the driver by the standard sliding glass sheet, the transparency of which the passenger can control. The driver has a subtle earpice and talks via subvocal (Felice will here the "hum" of the subvocalising and the replies). The drive moves in a way that suggests he is wired slightly.
Ophis
Nov 25 2006, 11:24 AM
I take it everyone is still having busy time. Just bumping to remind everyone we're still going. I think Dranem needs to finish off reggie's hacking then, Clarke can brief you on the physical security. Then I suspect we can do the actual run.
Ankle Biter
Nov 26 2006, 05:02 PM
yeah, crazy busy time, and then some. The chritmas rush is making work a drag, and there is other stuff going on that I need to work out befoer the forums can get my full attantion

something should be up later today though.
Dranem
Nov 27 2006, 07:38 AM
Well, with no Internet access at work, it really has me crunched for time... needless to say, I'm still stuck on what Reg can do for now... I've got the user ID, so I can log in (though not too frequently) and get whatever access I need.
One thing I want to do is monitor communication to the car Felice has rented. That way, I can anticipate what functions I need to take control of when the time comes. So, when Felice is out, Reg is going to locate the routing and communications protocols for her car...
For now I'm going to leave my sprite on the server. This remote service will be the last thing the sprite will do, but I want to be notified when the car is chosen for the band's ride. This - I hope - will give us at least some forewarning on which vehicle we need to monitor.
I'm still open for any suggestions from Eury as what else he wants to accomplish while we're here.

Cool, The comms with the car is a simple two way connection allowing communication and also giving location and status of the car and any updates head office needs to pass. Can I get a comp+exploit for the user id Reggie sets up.
Thanee if Felice has evrything needed, we can move ahead to Clarke's breiffing and then onto the run.
Mostly I'm just glad the Third and final run is legwork light.
