Just in case you use it.

And I like that "doodle," crechebaby

Nicely done Creche....I cannot do hands to save my LIFE!

Shadow...Im confused by your post a bit...are you casting Increased Reflexes +2 and force 2?

Sorry, @ force 2. I have the spell at Force 2.

Ok, now it's my turn to be confused.

What entrance did we use? I thought it was the side door, but I went back and re read your post and it is confusing. You make it sound like we went through the rear, but that isn't close to our target at all.....

No, it was the side door. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.

Thanks for the compliment and thumbs up on the pic. I have never really moved beyond stick figures.

We're entering from the left of the map, right? The door closest to the front of the building. Trying to orient myself but I have no sense of direction even in the virtual world.

Ok so the plan is to get Jack into an office so her can, uhm.. jack in. While he is doing that the three of us head upstairs, Wraith defeats the security on the doors (or Jack does) Sully and Trace defeat any physical security.

If you check the maps, we entered the building into the Cafeteria. We could hide Jack in the copy room, how does that sound?

The copy room would probably have the correct log in points for him. Fenris, you think that would work?

Ok thanks for the info. Now I know where I am at.

I was having that same problem. Ok so were in the Cafateria, lets check out the Copy room for Fenris, then will hit the stairs and go up and get the armor. Ok now I am oriented. Phew.

Yeah, those maps are a HUGE help. I'm in the process of making maps for my new game right now. Having them just makes everything sooooo much easier.

If and when Jack accesses the building security...Ill be updating the maps to show positions

Will be making an IC post when i get home...expect one sometime tonight.

We need to know how the copy rooms checkout when you are ready to give us a post.

glad you guys liked the pic
Now, I know you're all dying to see what Ember looks like...

I just need somewhere that has lines connected to the system in the building, so the copy room seems like a likely choice. Lots of networked printers and stuff.

Blitz, since you're handling everything cinematically, should I just post up to jacking in and let you give us what happens when I try to hack it, or what?

that fireball really pissed me off

hey, Blitz. I'm just gonna assume you'll let me know if Ember notices anything significant..

Yep! You dont need to worry, if something happens, Im not going to screw you by not giving you a chance to see/react!

Fenris...hold off on the jacking point...>:)

This guy is some sort of workoholic to be there at 1:00 am on a sunday. Dammit.

Ok so since the copy room doesn't have a jack-in point what do you guys think.

Ok...I need to update my security issues so I need to just verify something...

People inside: Sully, Trace, Ember (astrally), Wraith and Jack...

And the only one's invisible (for all intents and purposes) are Sully, Wraith and Ember..correct?

Wait, Trace and Jack aren't concealed in any way?

Umm.. shit. If Wraith had seen them approaching the building he would have told Trace to cast invisbility on them, or get a spirit con Conceal them or something. There are cameras to think about afterall...

Dammit, I knew I should have made Jack and I invisible. I think the gig is blown, but we will see.

Yeah Blitz, your assesment sounds right.

Well shit. I thought it was in the plan you were doing that so I didn't say anything. <sighs> That just freaking blows. Oh well, I guess thats what I get for not piping up and asking direct questions.

Fenris...can you post a stealth roll for the outside of the building...I dont have my dice or your sheet with me.

You all are SOOOO lucky...not on of my guards got more than a 5 on perception to see you on the cameras....LUCKY!

*grumbles*

Fenris...dont worry about it....unless you botch, the spirit would have provided all the concealment you needed.

Hey Shadow... Cast Invis now please.

creche...there are only 2 speeds in astral...speed of thought and standard movement...at the speed of thought, you would crash right through any wards without seeing them first and would not be able to take in any information as you passed through.

You'll need to take a standard path...just let me know where you are heading first.

Going to work now...no more posts from me until tonight.

Also have hearing amp so things sound 10x closer.

Blitz, what kind of security messures do I find in the stairwell?

yeah, yeah. that just occurred to me.
Ember'll take the more cautious route.
She's going to go left from the team in an upward spiral (we're still on ground floor, right?) to scan for others that are present in the building.


I thought all that hoo-ha for Sully and Wraith was odd when Jack and Trace were just sauntering in.

Spell:
Improved Invis.[03] TN 4® (+1 wound lvl) = 5

Dice 3 + 4 Spell pool (reserving 2 for drain)

1: on Jack,

14 11 10 08 05 04 01

2: on Trace,

07 05 05 05 02 01 01

Drain: +1(m) (+1 wound lvl) = 3M

1: 11 10 09 07 05 05 04 03

2: 11 05 05 04 03 02 02 01

If I have done this right, I think I got 5 successes on Jack and 4 on me. And I should take no drain.

Well, if he can't use the copy room, our next best bet would be the data storage room upstairs. Its still close to where we need to be and with the invis on him, he should be able to hide fairly well.

That last one blew!

Ok we really dodged a bullet there. Thanks to Creche's invaluable astral scouting we know for sure they are not on to us, and there are only a handful of guards. Stupid president grr.

I am looking at the map right now and we are coming up the stairs on the North West corner, into the lounge. Since the downstairs copy room did not have access, I doubt the upstairs will. However; I am fairly certain the data storage room will. Jack can go to work there.

This brings us to another problem. The ward. I don't know how to pass through it without setting it off. Nor, I think, can I destroy it without alerting the creator. Assuming the guards do not patrol we can hang in the data storage till Jack uploads the data. It is also possible he can open the door. We wait till he knows and then move out. If it comes down to it we will just have to blast through the ward and do a smash and gab.

It depends on the type of ward. If it's an alarm ward then anything astra; passing through sets it off. But normal wards just block movement and perception of astral beings and energies. So we need to know what type. If just your standard ward, we drop spells and pass through. Turn off any foci as well. Alarm ward would mean we need to grab and book with all serious haste. Good news if it is an alarm ward, she can see through very easily and at least tell us what is on the other side.

So what type is it?

We wont know till we get up there. So let's get up there Buddha!

Fenris...what kinds of decker and/or security knowledge skills do you have?

Actually Ember should be able to tell us having seen it.

It's a standard ward

Silly me, I completely forgot to bring my character sheets on vacation with me, so I'm waiting on the various GM's (Blitz included) to send them to me. I'll let you know as soon as I get it what the skills are.

Sorry about the double post, but it's at the GM's request

Defensive utility design:
1,5,1,5

Grey have Wraith get the yellow double doors ooen that lead into the data storage. Then Jack can go to work.

I also need new stealth rolls from everyone now that you're on the 2nd floor...

Stealth: 09 07 04 02 02 02 01 (+12 Ruthenium)

Can I take this to mean that we're doing our own rolls now, instead of the cinematic style you originally indicated the game would be played in?

Stealth(defaulting to quickness, whee!): 4,3,2,3,4 uh-oh

Checking for access in the room, most preferrable would be a console that I could plug into. Second, I guess, is a fiber optic trunk/connection, third would be a remote device.
