Zerone is up!

Okay, here is Zerone's action:

Free Action: Speak with Isabela and group
Simple Action: Command Isabela to protect Zerone and the group along with her other duties. (Forgot to spend a service asking that before the mission)

To keep the pace flowing, Cypher's actions are:

Simple -- Deactivate Reality Filter
Simple -- Analyze Node 14d6.hits(5)=3
Looking for 1) System Rating, 2) Hidden Connections to other Nodes, 3) Whether a Trace is running

Ok the Nurse is going to try to break out of the grapple (complex action) with the Shen.

Strength + Unarmed Combat
4d6.hits(5)=1

So that met the net hit of 1 from the original grapple so POP she's free. Let me throw up an IC post for her actions and Cypher's action.

Cypher System rating is 5 and there is a hidden connection to another node present. There is no Trace running.

Isabela is up!

Isabela‘s actions:
Complex: Materialize
Free: Talk to Emilio.

I‘ll get a post up in a bit. I am actually out and about and getting to see Busan instead of being sick or working overtime.

Sorry, I forgot the description post

Emilio is a tall, blond human with a muscular build. He has a sunken, suspicious look from being in this facility too long. He also is wearing scrubs and currently is holding some sort of scalpel.

Okay, so ANOTHER teacher from my school ran off. I'll get a post up as soon as I can, but work is going to be busy for the foreseeable future, so just bear with me. x_x

Sorry to hear about the work load increasing and thanks for keeping us informed - good luck and post when you can! Hang in there.

Happy Monday all!

Add your 1 point of weekly karma to your character sheet and let me know if you spend any on our characters along with an updated copy of your sheet.

Thanks, Buddha. ^_^ I was getting excited because we were actually going to have a new teacher soon, and the workload was going to go down. Looks like overtime is going to be the status quo for a while now.

Ayo is up!

Calling shot to increase damage (+4) Aim, Fire, Move. Walking, so I'll take that modifier.

Agility (7) + Pistols (6) + Specialization(2) + Reflex Recorder(1) + Aim (1) + TacNet(2) +Smartgun Link(2) - Walking(1) - Called Shot(4) (16d6.hits(5)=7) oh, minus the last 2 dice for cover provided by the grappling spirit/Fat Man (according to GM), but they weren't successes, so no change.

So, DV 11P / AP +5 vs. impact (but they have no impact) + net successes.

I'll start walking in the direction of the area currently defined as 'east'.

Not sure I'm following everything 100% here, but are the people in the hall way, the ones who spotted me and I just spoke to, are they trying to open a door?

If so, does that door have a Maglock similar to the one I just opened? If that is true also, Breeze is going to speak up.

I know Zerone will be trying to open a door. I haven't tried with either character for fear of getting conked on the head. I'd go down, and so would Isabela, which would be no fun for me!

Hamagen Correct - another character (Emilio) is in another locked exam room with a spirit sent from one of the runners hitting the clinic. There is indeed a maglock similar to the one from your door on all the doors in this hallway.

I will try to post the IC of the shot Ayo took at the grappled nurse later today.

Breeze is up!

I will delay until or if I get "permission" from the people with the guns outside to open the door

So, with no combatants we can drop out of initiative right? No one is sneaking around preparing to ambush us and respond to "code black" with phys-ad ninja killer assassins...right...?

Well, to be fair, we are attacking a location that's designed to put cutting edgeillegal and probably lethal bio- and cyberware in nigh-on fanatical career criminals

Walking over to the Maglock and doing an extended test to try opening the other door.

I'm assuming same penalties from improvised tools apply?

Electronics (4) + Logic (5) + Penalty (-2)

7d6 = 3 hits
6d6 = 3 hits

Eklipse is going to check out the other exam rooms in section A, starting with A2, then A3, A5 and A6, assuming Breeze was in A1 and Emilio in A4 as indicated in previous posts.

A1 A2 (A1 Breeze)
A3 A4 (A4 Emilio)
A5 A6

Eklipse is up!

You will find the first door you try to open is locked tight.

Eklipse you still have a Simple Action left after moving and trying the nearest door.

Just gonna noise up the others to secure the place and keep an eye on the other doors in case anyone I don't like sticks their head out. IC post up.

Fat Man is up!

Question: have we fully secured all the exam rooms/offices in the east area yet? OOC I think we have not, but I'm not sure and I wanted to check. Presumably the TacNet can tell us if there are areas we haven't checked yet? By my count there are 2 more guards somewhere.

Here is the layout again: Shadow Clinic

By my understanding, the two offices are secure, along with at least one of the exam rooms to the north of them (the one on the left I assume). The grenade guard came from the kitchen to the east (which I believe is off-duty area) but I don't think it has been properly searched so there could be more guards there - Ayo and Fats are heading this way.

Of the rooms to the west only A1 is clear. Eklipse just tried the door to A2 but it is locked. Zerone and Breeze are outside A4 (the one we believe is Emilio's room). A3, A5 and A6 have not been checked.

A1 A2 (A1 Breeze's room)
A3 A4 (A4 Emilio's room)
A5 A6

Possibly more worrying is the room we missed - the exam room to the north east of the reception area - leaving our backs exposed.

Fat Man is moving to the kitchen to the east and looking for anyone still in there. Let me know if you need any rolls.

Happy Monday all!

Enjoy your weekly drip of 1 karma and please remember to send updated characters if you change anything.

UmaroVI Perception roll please.

Notsoevildm you are correct in your recap of the clinic.

As soon as I get the Perception roll I will post the results and we'll keep chugging along. Thanks for being so on top on this thread I really appreciate it.

Just to keep everything in perspective, in a place that regularly jams violent criminals chock-full of cutting edge lethal cyber- and bioware as a business, I wouldn't necessarily assume Code Black was an un-armed nurse. Or that it didn't activate from all the screaming, in a world that's pretty constantly wired with cameras and sensor equipment.

There were no external signals that Cypher could detect. I'd take that to mean

1. There's a wire buried in the ground
2. A stronger signal was activated to broadcast with the alarm
3. The alarm is internal and guards/persona-fixed goons are about to attack

The doc identified that her oyabun was being poisoned and was either a willing accomplice or primary agent--I wouldn't blink an eye at her having insurance policies against people attacking her private clinic. And we still haven't figured out why she has a frickin huge bounty on her head.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3496886/ 4 hits on Perception (Vision or Hearing); drop the last 3 dice if it was meant to be some other sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone on the way, but I'm still concerned about the two unaccounted-for guards.

Anyone have skills related to security, security systems, drones, or drone security? If so, please roll.

Zerone is up!

Matrix Security Procedures is the closest I've got.
7d6.hits(5)=5

More generically - Criminal Organizations (Yakuza)
7d6.hits(5)=1

Logic 3 + Security procedures 4 = 7d6.hits(5)=1 - 1 hit and a glitch. That flashbang really knocked him for a loop.

Not sure if any of these apply, but I'll roll all of them...

Corp (Security Companies)
8d6 = 4 hits

Procedures (Security)
8d6 = 3 hits

Security Design (I think this has to do more with vaults and locks and other security hardware like that)
8d6 = 3 hits

Post is up: Free action to speak, simple to open door, and a simple to pull out the tac-net stuff.

Having no Electronics, Emilio is left staring at the improvised tac-net

Zerone can just slap it on you next round if it comes to that.

BishopMcQ you've seen similar set ups with a matrix security structure that incorporates drones - usually there is a space where the rigger is secured and then plugged into the drone network. What you've seen so far with this set up it seems likely the drone network is separated and isolated though you're not sure how they would pilot the drones in this signal dead area - perhaps a technomancer. The Yakuza tend to use "out of the box" set ups especially pocket projects like this place.

Notsoevildm you've heard of security set ups that use awakened critters or bio drones. They would be released from such an apeture.

Hamagen if someone can get you a visual you would identify the opening as a possible release site for drones most actually. In such a small structure, at least from what you've seen, would most likely have a rigger some where running them. If you become aware of he isolated nature of the matrix system here you think they would be either drones with sophisticated programs to deal with situations without a pilot. A technomancer would also be ideal for this set up you think - they seem to be able to operate in signal null spaces somehow but most people still view them as tech ghosts or digital wizards.

Buddha--looked great. To confirm, the second agent and tasking happens in my subsequent 2 IPs (pass 4 and pass 5), so after Emilio's actions, mine will be finished as well and ready for the next Round.

Wanted to give everyone a heads up for the next week. I am going to try to post this week but it's just me with the kids (business trip) so I am going to be challenged to get things up. I might get some time in the evening after kids are asleep but no promises. So go ahead and take your weekly drip of 1 karma for your characters. This might be a good time to update character sheets and spend any karma you might have on things and send me the new sheets.

Thanks all and I should be able to post next week as normal.

Hey all - got a moment just popping in and saying hi. Don't forget to update characters and send me a copy if you spend karma. I am hoping to post by Friday sorry for the lag.
