It'll arrive tomorrow. See I'm a genorous ref too.
Ankle Biter
Well, looks like Eury and I are headed to Astral Utopia, I will check for tampering on my bike, and people following us on the way there. Anything happen on the trip?
Ophis
Make a pair of perception tests then. Eury can make one for the bike trip as well.

Thanee
QUOTE (Ophis)
Then Thanee can go take a ride in the limo.

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

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

Since things to have hit a slow point, Thanee feel free to cover at least the start of Felice hiring a limo. Please post a list of what she's looking for here so I know what to answer.
Tattered~Seraphim

T~S no probs, I'll cover other stuff for the mo. Thanee be on with you! Mage types carry on talking!!
Moonwolf

Waiting results on my perception tests...
Ophis
No comment because nothing much spotted.
Ophis
Guys? pople can feel free to continue down the current thread, unless I'm needed to give input, in that case just say whats needed.
Ophis
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.
Ankle Biter
Yeah, not sure where moonwolf went. Que pasa?
Ophis
*shrug* I'll get him kick at the next oppurtunity he's being shit about checking
Tattered~Seraphim
ELLOOOOO THERE! Tattered~Seraphim is back! The evil literature search is finished and in, and now hopefully I have a bit more time back to myself.

Will do soon... currently I am super-busy, but in a few days things will be better again. smile.gif

Ophis
Cooli was starting to get lonely wink.gif
Dranem
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. smile.gif

[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? wink.gif
Ophis
No set idea so go for it.
Ophis
Dranem ball is in your court if you want into the system to set up a fake access account.
Thanee
I will make the next post for Felice tomorrow... today I won't be able to, most likely. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
cool, busy lives suck.
Ophis
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
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 ]
Ophis
Cool, nicely done, that should make the final trick run much easier...
Dranem
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.
Thanee
Just checking in to tell you, that I havn't forgotten you...

Things are not exactly settling down currently, but there is still hope! spin.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Wow and I was planning to post an OI! to get things moving again. no worries...
Thanee
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?

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Fine with me.
Ankle Biter
is moonwolf ok?
Tattered~Seraphim
Moonwolf now has internet access finally. Have nudged to check U.I.W.
Dranem
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
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
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.
Thanee
Finally... sorry again for the delay. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
No probs, if you can give me Visual and Audio Perception tests so I can gauge any titbits of info you get.
Thanee
Sure thing!

[ Spoiler ]


Nice rolls! smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
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
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
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 frown.gif something should be up later today though.
Dranem
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.
Tattered~Seraphim
Aside from the ones I gave you a little way up, I can't thin of any more, sorry.
Ophis
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.
