If I were to hack my goal would be to shut her out of accessing her commlink. I assume this would require admin access. Hacking for admin access will substantially increase the chances that the hack is detected, unless I get really good die rolls (which is not my speciality).

I am putting this out there to see what everyone else thinks and if the group wants me to persue this line of hacking.

If I hack for normal account access I could probably monitor what she does with her commlink but I doubt I could stop her.

The other option is to take her away from here, keep her drugged and do a slow hack on the commlink which would greatly increase the chances that an admin hack will not be detected. Of course by the time the hack was comleted the people who run the bar would know something is up with her.

Dude, that is a darned good enumeration of a lot of worrisome pros and cons.

My opinion, which is only one of five, is that we should act sooner than later, since the longer we wait, the more chance we will SOMEHOW be detected by the opposition.

And if your ability to pull off the fast hack is a toss-up, then NOW is the time, since she is unconscious - I mean, if you set off the alarm, a lot of bad things could indeed happen - but the WORST thing - an active response by the comm's owner - will NOT happen.

So yes, there are certainly risks - but we're shadowrunners - no option is 100% safe.

I say go for it.

How is Bubbles disabling the detonator?

So after our Hackers/Riggers have gone back and forth, I need:

A hardware/computer + Logic test from Bubbles depending on if she is ripping out components or futzing with the software on the detonator.

Some hacking rolls from Pesto. I know that you aren't going to hack until after the all-clear comes from Bubbles, but having the rolls will speed things up for me to bump threads. (Exploit to break in, and then tell me how you plan on shutting it down.)

Ok Pesto hacking for admin access. Stealth = 5. He goes full VR.
Exploit + Hacking + VR = 4,6,2,2,3,6,1,4,6,3,5 = 4 Hits

Exploit + Hacking + VR = 6,4,6,5,2,1,5,4,4,1,3 = 4 Hits. 8 Hits total

Exploit + Hacking + VR = 2,6,4,4,2,2,1,3,2,4,5 = 2 Hits. 10 Hits Total

Exploit + Hacking + VR = 3,3,3,2,4,4,2,6,3,2,3 = 1 Hit. 11 Hits Total

Exploit + Hacking + VR = 1,4,6,4,6,5,4,3,6,6,5 = 6 Hits. 17 Hits Total.


Ok basically once inside Pesto will want to lock all user and security accounts. Then he will change the login for admin access. Just tell me what you need to accomplish this or if i can do it.

Programs loaded: Analyze, Stealth, Attack, Armor.

Once in if he is not under attack Pesto will do:
Analyze + Computer + VR = 6,4,2,6,5,3,1,5,2,6 = 5 Hits

Amra--I'll need some Data Search + Browse to find the files, Hacking + Edit to make the changes.

Analysis of the node--It is not currently on alert, it is rating 6, it is a single-tier node (PAN), there is a hidden connection to a tertiary node.

Program change to, analyze, browse, edit, attack

I am going to give you extra rolls for each in case you need them.

Data Search + Browse + VR = 5,3,4,3,5,1,2,1,2,3 = 2 Hits
Data Search + Browse + VR = 5,6,6,1,5,4,1,5,1,5 = 6 Hits
Data Search + Browse + VR = 3,6,1,5,2,3,5,1,4,3 = 3 Hits

Hacking + Edit + VR = 1,4,5,5,2,3,5,1,6,3,5,3 = 5 Hits
Hacking + Edit + VR = 6,1,1,5,6,2,2,6,2,2,6,3 = 5 Hits
Hacking + Edit + VR = 5,2,1,1,6,4,2,4,3,5,6,6 = 5 Hits

After he finishes with this task he will search for the most recent incoming/outgoing calls and text messages. If one of the data search rolls above is still unused then use it, if not:
Data Search + Browse + VR = 2,6,1,4,2,6,2,6,4,4 = 3 Hits.

Then he will search the files on the commlink for any reference to this drug we found. If one of the data search rolls above is still unused then use it, if not:
Data Search + Browse + VR = 5,6,1,6,2,4,6,6,2,2 = 5 Hits

Finally Pesto would like to analyze the connection to the tertiary node if he can to try and get some idea of what it is for:
Computer + Analyze + VR = 3,1,5,1,2,1,5,1,2,1 = 2 Hits plus a glitch.

Hey folks--I'm going to be pushing the bump later today. Can I get some of the preliminary questions that the interrogators were going to ask? These can come from anybody since you are all connected through your PANs.

Security at the Clinic.
Who is financing operation

Those are indeed two key questions.

Brought this forward to save me constantly looking back at it:

Bishop -
during the interrogation fun, as he sits sipping beer in the bathroom, Al will split the screen on his comm.
Half will be the view from Clara.

The other half will be the drug distribution schedules from the encrypted files.

Poring through them, hoping to get some idea of the volumes and timetables involved - and compare with the forge we found to get some estimate of whether it could possibly be the "main" facility, or whether there must be some larger facility somewhere.

And if the distribution schedule gives any indication of point of origin of the distribution routes, well, that'd sure be a bonus.

Not sure what to roll - guess I'll start with Logic + Intuition (ten dice) for now:

5 3 4 2 3 3 5 2 1 4 = 2 hits

Also, do the files give the exact name of the Georgetown clinic? If so, I'll be sure and send that on to Sun.

Sorry folks, today was a very LONG day. IC post going up in a few minutes...

No need to apologize.

Ok, IC post is up. Any questions, shoot them at me.

Adamu and others watching the vid feed from Clara, throw me some Perception dice

No problems in the IC from me, Sun will of course be taking cover in any on coming violence.

No problems in the IC from me, Flintlock will of course be taking part in any on coming violence.

Any actions being taken, or should I just push forward?

Well, I'd like to have Flint take action, but unfortunately nobody has yet mentioned the oncoming 'problem' to him.

No actions here for the same reason.

Bishop and everyone - sorry!

I was going to have Al let everyone know about the approach of the hostile, but since you asked for a perception test, I thought I was supposed to wait on the results of that before announcing to everyone what I saw on Clara's feed.

Looks like my dice were not up to the task!

So I will pass on what I've got right now.

Didn't mean to hold things up.

No big deal.

What was the rating of the stim patch used to wake up your hostage?

Ophis--Just to check, do you realize that it's quite possible you will kill the woman with overflow? The Stim patch didn't actually heal the boxes, it just let her pretend they weren't there.

I know the risks. As it stands there is a fair chance she's dead anyway... We seem to have everything we need from her as it is. Sun is going to try and keep her alive though. Once Flint is clear she'll check for pulse etc.

Throw me some surprise tests again.

Adj init. + ambush = 15 dice

6 2 2 2 2 6 4 3 1 5 2 6 4 1 1 = 4 successes

IF the beer/stick&shock attack fails to take her down and IF there is return fire, Al will come out, fire twice over the woman's head as suppressive fire, and use movement to return to cover.

Surprise: Initiative 12 + Forewarning 3 = 15
4, 3, 6, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5, 5, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 6 = 4 hits

Init 9 + Ambush 6 = 15
4 hits = 1 3 5 2 2 2 2 5 2 3 4 2 2 5 6

If things get messy, it's going to get really messy., but otherwise, jamming and distraction is the plan.

Hiding, hiding and more hiding.

11 dice

6 Hits

Should help the hiding...

Surprise test:

2,5,2,5,2,6,2,4,3 = 3

Sadly this time the ambush and forewarning didn't apply. Pesky perception tests...

No one is able to directly effect Hayden in the first pass of actions.

What are people doing?

Still three hits, so ....

Ducking back inside the doorway to the damn office!

Stick n shock ammo might do some interesting things to a grenade...

Bubbles is going to fire off the Jammer, who knows, it might work on a remote detonated device, if it happens to be in the area of effect and be working on a signal. Stay dropped behind the bar and cover her ears and take a deep breath. Assuming the bar provides some cover or barrier protection.

Ha, this is when I notice I deleted something I shouldn't have from the character sheet. Ah well.

Still duck behind the bar, draw pistol and get ready to shoot any strangers that poke their head around the bar.

Flint 15
Sun 15
Pesto 13
Mitch 12
Al 11
Bubbles 11

I need Bubble and Pesto to roll Body + half Impact (+ Inhalation Vector resistances)

Fortune-You're up.

We are in the 2nd pass. If people want to pre-post their actions and rolls, it will speed things up. (Contingencies like, "if everyone is down I use a medkit, but if people are fighting I shoot the fragger with the biggest gun" are perfectly fine. Just roll both tests and I will move accordingly.)

Next!

Al
IP2

For speed's sake I am making some assumptions on mods. Please adjust them accordingly.
I assumed that with the door closed the smoke won't be bad enough yet for a vision mod.

Delay Action

IF anyone enters room, shoot the feet. If they stay up, shoot again. If they fall, shoot 'em dead.

Longarms + Specialization + Agility = 7 dice
- 2 for "specific effect" called shot - naturally do damage plus knock down
-1 shooting from cover (this one is dumb if you are settled into a firing position, but it's in the book)
1 2 2 2 = 0 hits

Shooting again, obviously keeping the called shot mod. Recoil compensated by stock.

4 6 6 2 = 2 hits

Remington 990 firing EX slugs for 9P base, AP -3

IF at any point I am being shot at, will use the delay OR forfeit following action to use full D.

Adjusted Reaction + Dodge + Specialization = 12 dice
-2 for defender prone

2 6 3 4 3 1 5 2 3 4 = 2 hits

If shot at again, -1 for subsequent attack

6 5 6 5 1 2 2 1 1 = 4 hits

I will use a point of Edge to reroll any Dodge test that leaves me getting shot (having to soak).

Associated soaks
Body + impact/ballistic = 4 dice

3 3 1 1 = If it is possible to Crit Glitch a soak, and IF this evil roll ends up being needed, I will use my last point of Edge to cancel the Glitch (or burn it for Hand of God if it is that bad - as in I would DIE)

2 5 6 6 = 3 hits

IF a grenade rolls/flies into the room -

RAW doesn't give the defender a dodge test, just a soak. But I reckon if I have a delay and there is any time-lag at all on the thing going off...

In room away from stall - retreat head and shoulders as far as possible behind toilet bowl.

Within a meter of me - use shotgun to "sweep" it as far as possible back towards door.

No idea what to roll for those - feel free to roll for me if needed.

Grenade soak - same four dice
4 3 1 4 = 0 hits
Will use Edge here if there is any way it can keep me conscious.

IF door opens and nothing happens - retract shotgun out of immediate view and Observe in Detail - looking for disturbance of the smoke on the floor, and listening for footsteps - thinking invisible bad guys.

Perception + Intuition + Actively observing = 9 dice
1 2 3 6 3 2 2 3 2 = 1 hit

Questions - smoke rises. Some noxious gasses are heavier than air and don't. Smoke seeping in under the door rising?

Much may depend on the door - swings into the bathroom? Out into hall? Hinges toward Al (open door covers intruder) or away from him? Door has knob that needs turning, or swings freely?

Body 6 + Impact/2 4 = 10
1 hit 1 4 4 3 3 3 2 3 5 3
Bah
EDGE! Reroll
4 hits 1 1 6 5 4 6 6 1 2

Weak Immune System matters? Then -2 pool.

And does holding her breath matter?

IP 2
Bubbles is going to Play Dead, and holding her breath.... Might be a bunch of lead flying around soon.
Agility 6 + Infiltration 3 = 9
3 hits 2 1 3 5 2 1 6 5 1
(This IP is when we find out if it's only Inhalation or Contact and Inhalation)

I meant to ask earlier (even though it isn't yet relevant to me), but does the Chemical Protection armor modification help?
