Leo--I know you did your entry, but you never came over to the group which is what the Otaku wanted since they needed to meet everyone.
Fenris
Having a good ol' time myself, but I brought a decker wink.gif

I'm looking forward to hitting the system again for the BTL info while Trixie's diving, so I have action coming up biggrin.gif
Ecclesiastes
Fenris: Were you planning on going after the BTL info while Trixie was diving, or waiting for her to go along with you? Last time you didn't fare very well in combat against their deckers...
Fenris
But now I have attack and defense programs wink.gif My hope was going in alone I'd be able to snatch the info and maintain a fairly low security tally, and just avoid them altogether. Maybe cobble together a super-user account and use that.
BishopMcQ
Fenris--Hit me with a battle plan and a few computer tests as you log in, bounce your signal and such.

Once I get that, I will do the bump.

Will karma if needed.

Side Note: Are you keeping copies of our characters? And if so, do we just tell you when and on what we spend karma on? Realized I had some karma saved up.
Fenris
McQuillan,

Just passed on an updated character sheet for Jack, with new skill updates and the software updates from the other chars. I'll get the decking thing laid out tomorrow morning.
Leowulf
Thought I had. I'll try and be more descriptive.
Fenris
Alright, doing the log-n-jog thing to jack up Trace times and TN's wink.gif

Logging onto the TriCom Prime satellite constellation:
Satellite lock-on test (Computer(Hardware) [Urban Area TN 8 -1 constellation density modifier = 7]): 11 05 04 03 01 01 (1 success)
Task Pool: 07 05 05 (1 success)
Total: 2 successes (10 combat turns)

Kicking Masking and Sensor ratings up to 12, Bod and Evasion ratings down to 4.

Allocating 6 hacking pool to DF, current DF: 11+3= 14

Access test for the TriCom Prime RTG (Computer(Decking) [10-10=2]: 11 05 05 05 04 04 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 (13 successes)

Access test for Carribean League (CA/CL) Jamaica RTG (Computer(Decking) [6-10=2]: 10 08 08 07 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 02 02 01 01 01 (13 successes)

Access test for California Free State (NA/CFS) North RTG: 08 05 05 05 04 04 04 04 04 04 03 03 03 02 01 01 (14 successes)

Access test for Seattle (SEA) RTG: 07 05 05 05 04 04 04 04 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 01 (15 successes)

Security Tally will be zero when I jumped from Seattle to the Japanese RTG where our target host lives: 16 11 09 07 05 05 05 04 03 03 03 03 03 02 01 01 (14 successes)

Access test for 'Raku target host (-10 to access test TN): 09 05 05 05 04 04 04 04 03 03 03 03 03 01 01 01

My plan is to locate the User Accounts files, create a false Superuser name and password, do a Graceful logoff, log back on with the Superuser Account, find the BTL files we're looking for and maybe a little more paydata if I have time, and execute another Graceful logoff to erase my trails wink.gif
BishopMcQ
Thanks, I'll get an update bumped out in the morning.
BishopMcQ
Fenris--You're into the host...Let's get the associated tests for the rest of your plan...
Fenris
Locate File (Superusers and Passwords) (TN-10): 16 15 10 07 05 05 05 04 04 04 04 04 04 01 01

Locate File (Locate, if it exists, any log that logs changes to Superuser files) (TN-10): 15 09 09 08 05 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 01 01 01

Edit File (Make my addition legit, at least for a little while) (TN-10): 09 09 08 05 05 04 03 02 02 02 02 02 01 01 01

Graceful Logoff.

BishopMcQ
I'm moving forward presuming your DF is still 14, if it changed when you logged into the host, let me know...
Whizbang
Sensing the aura on the area: 19, 8, 5, 5, 3, 2
Fenris
Nope, DF is still 14.
BishopMcQ
My apologies for slipping behind in the bump...

Shadow--I've got you in the Firebat, keeping an active watch on Cal and Donovan. Give me a sensor test, passive unless your instinct says to go live.

Fenris--I need the Locate Paydata and Locate file tests. The Locate File is really just to determine how long it takes you, since you won't trip any alarms...we hope...
Whizbang
Well, I'm heading off to Dragon*Con soon...see you guys Monday evening/Tuesday afternoon.
Fenris
Locate File (BTL stuff) (TN-10): 16 10 09 04 04 04 04 04 04 03 03 01 01 01 01

Locate Paydata (Extra Paydata wink.gif (TN-10): 07 05 05 04 04 04 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 01 01
Shadow
One sensor test coming up.

Small Unit Tactics (just in case)
06 06 05 05 04 04 (6 successes)
Fenris
Shadow, just to clear things up, were you talking about the dealers Donovan was talking to when you mentioned the armed thugs over comms?
Shadow
I think so, McQ didn't really tell me. He just said to heat sources armed.
BishopMcQ
Shadow--You only had enough successes to register the presence of signatures and weapons. A better Sensor test may yield additional info...

Note: Several generally means more than 2, less than a mob...
Shadow
Okay I am going to take the FB in that genral direction and go active....


Sensor Test (Perception + sensors)

We jumped to night time? Hmm... mabey I don't want to do some conjuring....

I'll catch up this game tonight. I promise.
BishopMcQ
Ecc--Roll me some Willpower, a Computer Test, and Intelligence.
Shadow
Ugh. Police. I say we all collapse on the van and I get us the hell out of here. Along with however many Otaku we can fit into it.
BishopMcQ
Just to clarify Shadow, they aren't moving towards the van, but rather the two drug dealers and your companions who almost bought.
Shadow
Oh, that changes things

post your perceptions, and move forward. Anyone with 1 success hears the scream, 2 or more and you will recognize Trixie's voice.

Karma as you see fit.

Sorry for the missing week. Sick again, and moving on top of it. Back now though. It was an emergency move so sorry I didn't forewarn.
BishopMcQ
not to worry. Just waiting on the team to tell me where you're going next.
Fenris
I assume we're headed back to Nanashi's place? We've got the new data on the BTL's in Renraku we need to weed through, probably some programming to be done, and we need to figure out whether or not this means the Otaku will help us.

Anybody have the faintest clue if Trixie's dive was successful, or is that what the whole "form" question above was about?
BishopMcQ
Yes the dive was successful...but as with everything there are complications...not a lot of info is available about the dives and Resonance so I am taking license.

Bump upcoming tonight.
BishopMcQ
Had been waiting to see if there was any interaction between Trix, Cal and the Otaku...

Bumped the thread ahead though.

Ecc--Some info sortilage may help to piece together what happened in your head and help Jack out with the BTL data...

Fenris--Any business bkgd skills, automated factory Familiarity or forgery (File editing) could help you out. Otherwise just a straight computer (programming) roll to make sense of the info you downloaded.

There will be some things that are immediately obvious but I'll weave those into the add'l info gleaned from some extra skill tests.

Team--Anyone with the skills I just mentioned to Fenris can contribute to this test by looking at the output on a screen, slotting a hitcher jack, or Jack can run the video feed through the Trideo in the apartment to get that surround video/sound sensation.
Fenris
I'll happily dump it whereever necessary for everyone to get a good look at it.

My system died while I was doing some app testing for work. I should be able to post by tonight.
