McQuillan - Slotting the chips in cold ASIST through the deck.

I'm gunna run an Analyze on both the rat (the program given to me by the Fool) and then an Analyze on the wall where the SAN opened up, seeing if I can find the door to force it open.

Roll 1: 13 11 09 09 08 07 05 05 04 03 03 03 03 03 02 02
Roll 2: 17 15 11 09 05 05 04 04 04 04 02 02 01 01 01 01

Ecc--The Rat is a rating 10 trace program, keyed to only track down the Fool's Icon. The SAN is currently inactive.

Fen--Your move again, in the SR version of a choose your own adventure novel.

McQuillan - One more thing just occurred to me. Are there any restraints in Seattle that are named after the Japanese Palace? Imperial Palace? Something like that. I’m assuming he meant the palace in Japan, but maybe there is something like that in Seattle.

Ecc--None that I'm familiar with.

Damn. So much for that hope.

Did you mean 'restaurants'?

LOL, yeah. Stupid spell check.

Cheezypoof--Anything you want to do? questions you want answered?

team--As a reminder, it is a new day, there should be money at the bank for you...

Buddha--It's good to have contacts at Lvl 2 and 3...

Fenris--Biomage's message doesn't appear in your vision.

Leowulf--Roll an assensing test for me.

Fenris: Roll your willpower, TN 10 modified by hardening or ICCM.

Shadow: Umm...did I miss something or was Calisto driving?

Fenris: I'll roll for you if I don't see anything by Sunday PM.

Assensing Test: 3, 1, 3, 16, 2

Do I win anything?

Willpower (-2 for ICCM filter): 19 08 05 01

Two successes, I believe. Can I have the kewpie doll?

Edit: Fenris was logged into my account...sorry about that everybody.

Fenris: You have a moderate stun.

Leowulf: One success doesn't win you the big prize sorry...

McQuillan - Can I tell if I took the dumpshock because I jacked out so fast, or because of something on the chip itself?

Also, since I was running it through my deck, can I review what happened through my deck?

Fenris--You took the dumpshock from the overpowered SimSense signal in the chip.

Yes to the second part, roll some computer for me.

Computer, Computer(Programming), or perhaps Computer(Decking)?:

Base Computer is 6: 4,1,5,1,2,1

Decking/Programming: 1,2,4,5

Ok leaving on a mini-vacation tomorrow and I'll be back Thursday afternoon. Feel free to NPC me since you know the character McQuillan. Have fun all!

Have fun on your trip.

Can I help Jack with the BTL? I could hitcher jack or watch code on the monitor.

Here is a computer roll, just in case: 22 () 11 08 08 04 04 03 01

McQuillan, can I check the physical makeup of the chip itself? I don't have a wireless link on my deck, and a chip shouldn't physically contain the components necessary to transmit over a wireless connection, unless it's heavily modified, as far as I know Does the chip look like it's been modified in such a way?

Computer(hardware): 2,2,8,8,1,3

You'd have to crack the chip open.

In addition to the Hardware roll, give me some Electronics B/R and Cybertechnology rolls

What's the base skill for Cybertech? Biotech?

Electronics B/R(+3 task pool): 1,2,1,4,1,10,1,4

Biotech (defaulting to Int, +3 task pool): 3,2,1,4,4,1,11,3,3,1,3,4

Modified for defaulting: 7

Fenris--The IC post should answer your questions. In case you aren't familiar with the abbreviation--C2= Cranial Cyberterminal.

Got it, thanks.

Can we do what she mentioned? Seperate the software part of it from the hardware part of it?

Basicly, try to reverse-engineer the sucker.

If you cut out the hard disk--The optical chip for all intents and purposes--and connected something else that was able to interface with the hardware, you could run a series of tests on the hardware.

To reverse engineer the software separate, you would most likely need to run some kind of simulation that convinced the chip that the hardware was there, so it didn't stop and look for the gear.

A shop would be best geared to deal with this level of separation. It is possible to do it with a kit, but at penalty.

Edit: This time McQuillan was using Fenris' account. Sorry everyone.

Too drama queen?

Not at all. Very dramatic, and I liked it.

Ecc--Give yourself an extra point of karma for roleplaying.


Team--As some of you may have already figured out, I'm generally lax on the flaws allowing you to fill them in as you see fit unless you are forgetting about them, then I will enforce them heavily.

I need perception checks from everyone not astrally perceiving.

17 11 11 11 05 03 02 02 01 01

What was that 'spell' that Biomage just noticed?

Background Skill rolls

Spell Design: 4, 8, 1, 5
Magical Background: 4, 4, 5, 2, 15, 4

Active Skill rolls

Sorcery: 2, 1, 1, 10, 10
Aura Reading: 1, 3, 15, 2, 11

Need more?

Leowulf--Throw me some Int dice to help the assensing.

Perception: 10 09 08 07 04 04 03 03 02 01

Intelligence (Astral Perception) Roll: 4, 10, 4, 4, 5

Weren't we going to Tokyo?

I'm going to trudge forward--the perception checks were to notice magic being used. Throw the test here (TN#10) if you'd like to see it, otherwise you can presume that you didn't notice it.

On our way, we're just going there at the normal PbP rate

Yep I know...the test wasn't that critical which is why I'm pushing forward--if it was to notice the drone taking aim with the sniper rifle at a teammates head I would wait.

Perception: 11 09 05 05 04 04 04 03 02 01

Sorry for any lag over the weekend, I don't get much computer time when I'm home. Needy wife...

NO worries, I know that people have lives outside of the forum

Biomage has a SIN also.

I have one, but the preference is definitely to not flash it all over the place.

Exactly.

Jester has a SIN, but he would prefer not to use it, hence his suggestion.
