Probably picking this up again at the weekend apologies for the delay.

Well the dragon did say we were on a 20-day standby..
I just figured you needed a bit of time to sort out the next module in our adventure... Besides Reg is busy moving right now.

I was debating posting the whole move thing.. but I wasn't sure which - if any - of the team would be involved in the whole matter... And it's just some story-building add-on and not pertinent to the adventure so... meh!

Character building is good.

Bye
Thanee

Yeah, I enjoy character building.. I like to post a lot of Reggie's thoughts and other actions... not only so that you guys can get a better feel of the character's mentality, but also so that I can keep some degree of consistency in how this character thinks so that I can stay in character... though I'm not in any other games right now, keeping a character's persona straight is a hard job to do.. particularly when there can be days between postings and you might have forgotten what you last wrote.

So, Reg is moving to the PCC, anyone wanna help Reg move? There will be two strong orks to move any furniture - which reminds me, I guess Reg will have to go furniture shopping too as the elf has little else right now outside of a bedroom set.
The bro's aren't subtle about the fragile stuff though, so Reg wouldn't mind at least another pair of hands to move boxes of electronics and such.

I suspect Alastor will offer to help.

Character building good, good examples will garner bonus karma. Coz i'm nice.

Yup, Alastor will be helping if Reggie. ^_^

Okies people, final run is beginning.

In various news, the Denver shadows have been hot, rumour states that some tried to hit Metatron mid June, and failed. The zonies have been stomping on small scale criminal operations all over with some success. A major gang in the Aurora warrens turned out to be bugs, based on rumour and bodies left behind. Someone, hit them hard and wiped the whole hive as far as anyone can tell. A series of high profile art thefts have occured from private collections round the city, four in the last week. Smuggling is up, but the rain has shut it down for the mo. Police are still baffled about the identities of certain guitar thieves.

The rain is permanent thunderstorm level but the temperature is still good.

Just give me basic border hoping methods if you would, you all live with in one hop of the Sioux sector.

The Lone Eagle, is a typical Sioux bar, rough and ready. It's notable for not playing any music just running a range of macho sports on big ass TVs.

I posted going through the busy route 85 border crossing, betting on the deluge and work gear to get pushed through with the rest of the commercial traffic.

If this isn't discreet enough, let me know.. I can take the college connector line from Regis College to the Front Range campus, and then find some sort of Coyote passage between Broomfield and Northglen.

Any rolls you want us to do to slip over the border?

Bye
Thanee

Not really.
Just some sort of plausible route. Then we can get on with the action.

I see.

Only problem for me is, since I do not really know what is a viable way, since I know too little about how the borders look like, it's kinda difficult to write something about it.

I know there are the tunnels we used once (not sure, if they were going to the Sioux sector, though). Felice could ask Tommy, of course.

And I suppose, that the borders are not 100% guarded everywhere, there are probably patrols, and of course there are the checkpoints at all the roads. Since Felice is pretty good at Stealth, she probably can slip over somewhere by foot, especially with the rain making it more difficult to spot someone there.

Bye
Thanee

The tunnels tend to be well kept secrets, though Tommy could help with that. The border has walls within the urban areas, but out of those it sort of peters out some, with some work it's possible to find gaps and get yourself and a bike through, the rain will really help on this.

Felice doesn't have the bike with her (she would, if she used one of the tunnels, but I only thought of that now; the way I had figured and matching my IC post, she would rather go for one of the walls), and she can probably scale the walls with her climbing gloves easily enough, too.

Bye
Thanee

Shiver...
Damn missing letters...

As a note, my Oakley's have a Vision Enhancement II mod to scan the room visually. Do you want me to roll to locate the bar's nodes?

My bike has a radio scanner for anything that might be out of my range of abilities. As well as my roto-drone has a MAD scanner if I deploy it.

No worries, Reggie can find the bars node very easily.

As a warning guys, it's going to be very difficult for me to find time to post again until after Monday morning (GMT).

It's not that long til monday.

Bye
Thanee

guys, ball your court within...

Umm what are people waiting for?

I believe we're waiting for Alastor's next post....

I'm sorry! I'm hideously overworked atm, but I shall be back to normal by tomorrow afternoon (GMT).

Okies, as long as we know.

Sorry guys about the prolonged absense and holding things up. Initially I was hideously busy with very important RL stuff, but when the final day of reckoning arrived on Friday, I was knocked over by a viscious flu-like cold, grrrrrrrr.

Ok, I wasn't sure just how much information to put into my pose on our target, so I left it as a opening cliff-hanger so that Opus can go into the details from here. Of, if you prefer, provide me with a run down in a PM and I can roll it out from there... up to how much you want to Role-play it out..
I have no trouble doing a movie-like scene for this section with the proper information available.

I'll sort out a map on the web somewhere shortley. Apologies for me being quiet, I've had a busy week.

Okay hope this works...

http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z116/Op...cket/Shadowrun/

That should be a map of the place.
The target is in the Fishroom based on Morgan's research.

Security details...

Camera in each room, part of a high grade system, alarm on outer doors and windows (most rooms have a window). The Safe Room and Fish room have the door as the only access. The Place fronts on to the street and and has about 10 meters clearence round it. Another houses garden abuts the back of the place. The neighbourhood is patrolled with about a 5 minute interval between drive pasts. Sec Firm is Hard Corps and has a lethal response License, and about a 3 minutes response time...

Any other questions?

Nice. Will look at the maps in detail tomorrow. Bed's calling!

Bye
Thanee

Oh yeah the place is also full of motion detectors... Any detected intrusion leads to an alarm, which calls in Hard Corp.

Ok.. suffering a touch of writers block here... maybe I'm just not getting enough sleep. either that, or I've just been playing WoW waaaay too much!
Umm... I'll try to get a post up in the morning... end of school and kids is just a time of confusion... sigh.

cool cool

For some odd reason, I'm no longer getting notifications when there's new activity on the threads... sorry I let this slide for so long..

Hardly a problem other people haven't been active recently.

Yeah, sorry about the recent inactivity... time was pretty limited during the last couple weeks.

Bye
Thanee

Cool, ta for the heads up. I'm going to kick Tattered Seraphim...

Sorry about my lack of posting. I've been fairly short on ideas, and these last couple of days I've been away.

Helloo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo?

Guys are you waiting for Shiver to get back? If so I'll post for him later today.

Tattered~Seraphim - note due to the recent change in your gun lubrication the recent weather isn't bothering it.

Everyone - Moonwolf Eury will need to cast his spell shortly. Then someone needs to get a handle on the matrix security system. Any takers?

Matrix Security sounds like a job for Reg...

Bye
Thanee

Just a lil heads up... I'm on vacation next week (from sunday onwards).

Bye
Thanee

Thanks for the heads up.

Matrix security would be a job for Reg...
And Reg finally bothers to check up on the forums, something I haven't done in a good week, I'm sorry. Damn Work and WoW and kids....

I too will be semi-idlish as I go to Winnipeg for a week on Tuesday, but I'll still have net-access, so I'll try to check in as often as I can.

You want me to scan for the security system first, or should we get cracking right at it? Speaking of cracking, I think it's time I call some Sprite assistance on route so that we can get the job done faster.

Compiling Sprite:

Reg now has a Cracking Sprite with 2 services, hopefully I won't need more than that.

WoW periodically eats Moonwolf as well...

Reggie has enough details to get straight to getting into the sec system.

Ok, I have a sprite in tow, and we're going to take a crack at the security system.
While I first disable the perimeter alarm, and then move to the motions, cameras, etc.. or do you want me to make one roll to control the whole security grid?

I'm going to have the Sprite Intercept any traffic and use Suppress as a fall-back if it fails to counter any signals being transmitted if we trip an alarm.

Hopefully, this will give us enough time to get the job done if the Sprite fails to cancel the signal in time...

Meanwhile, I'm going to Thread my Exploit as I hack into the security system.
Resonance (5) + Software (3) = 8 dice
4 2 4 3 2 3 2 [6] = 1 Hit (not great, but I'll take as many extra dice as I can)
Resist Drain:
Resonance (5) + Willpower (4) = 9 dice
[6] 3 1 [5] 3 3 1 [5] [6] = 4 Hits (at least it didn't hurt)

Hacking (3) + Exploit (5) + VR (2) + Threading (1) = 11 dice
4 [5] 1 3 1 3 1 2 [5] [5] 3 = 3 Hits (man I hope the security system as a low Firewall rating)

As a note, once you're in you can find the alarm and cancel it if a sprite has suppressed it, basically faking a "it's a false alarm guys" signal. Hacking+Browse (ext 10) to find the right bit, hacking+exploit(5) to cancel it. system is running 5's across the board from what the data and your scans tell you.

Umm... this means my first attempt failed.. seeing as I only got 3 hits... ok, I'll try to hack again. Lets hope my threading is better next time!
Resonance (5) + Software (3) = 8 dice
4 [6] 1 3 2 [5] 4 [6] = 3 Hits
Resonance (5) + Willpower (4) = 9 dice
4 3 4 [6] 2 3 4 4 1 = 1 Hit (ouch, I'm going to start feeling this soon - up to 4 Stun)
Hacking (3) + Exploit (5) + VR (2) + Threading (3) = 13 dice
[6] [5] 4 4 3 2 3 [5] [6] [5] 4 4 3 = 5 Hits! Yes! I'm in!

Ok, if my first attempt tripped an alarm, Bit the Sprite is off to locate the signal handler...
Action 1
[5] 4 1 [5] 3 2 [6] 3 1 [5] 1 3 = 4 Hits so far
Action 2
2 4 [5] [5] 4 [5] 4 2 2 4 [6] [6] = 5 Hits more
Action 3
[6] 2 1 [5] 1 [5] 2 1 4 [6] 2 3 = 4 Hits - giving a total of 13.
Ok, it takes 3 actions for the sprite to locate the signal handler, which - at 3 IP/round - means it got to it in one round. (hopefully that was fast enough)
Now, if I read this right.. to send the Cancel signal would be an opposed test right? or Do you just want me to hit a threshold of 5?
