Using Switch to change Bod to 6, Evasion to 8, Sensor to 8, and Masking to 15. Sleaze is 9, plus 1 DF for Otaku bonus. Final DF is 13. Deception is 8.

Computer roll: 11 09 07 05 04 04 04 03 03 03 02 02 02 02 01 01

Aw, carp. Sorry McQuillan, I forgot to mention it.

Just to double check, are you allowing the optional rules from the Matrix book, including converting hacking pool into dectection factor, using hacking pool to supress black IC, and using 'modes'? I'll post under the assumption that you are for the moment, and if you aren't, I'll re-post with correct info.

Also, is the host accessible from the LTG, or do we have to log onto a PLTG?

Hacking pools actually 15, just so you know. For some reason, NSCRG won't quite accept all the stats on my custom deck. Working in 'Masking Mode' (dropping BOD), and specifically changing up satellite constellations.

DF: ((Masking: 9 + 4 (Masking Mode) = 13) + (Sleaze 10)) / 2 = 11 ) + 3 (6 hacking pool)) = 14

My general plan, just so the other deckers know, is to log onto the NewsNet SatNet satellite constellation (Green 6/9/8/9/8/8 -1 Density Modifier), from there to the Japanese RTG (whichever one that is, McQuillan, since I don't see Japan on the list of RTG's) out to the Hong Kong RTG (AS/HK) and back to Japan's RTG to clear the security tally from the satellite to RTG trip. From there we'll head down into the LTG, PLTG if necessary, and into the host.

Computer(Hardware) to connect to Satellite Constellation: 1 success
Base target number: 8 (Downtown Urban)
Density Modifier: -1
Modified Target number: 7
Computer(Hardware): 1, 16,1,5,5,5

Logon to Satellite RTG (Access 9-10=2): 17 successes
Computer(Decking): 5,4,4,1,3,5,3,3,11,5
Hacking pool (9): 1,2,9,4,2,5,4,5,5

I don't need to make the hardware test as far as I know, just piggy back on his connection. You can use my roll above to log onto the SatNet.

Fenris--Yes we'll use the modes and DF rules.

I'm still waiting for my last decker to post her rolls...but I will move a few other things along.

DF: 7

(computers + hacking pool) 17, 11, 10, 8, 7, 7, 5, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1

Renraku System: Red-10/14/15/17/13/13

Logon to Host (10-10=2):
Computer(Decking): 16 11 10 07 07 05 05 04 04 03
Hacking Pool: 20 08 04 03 03 03 02 02 01

Fenris--The Access Value is 14. 10 is the Security value...You still have more successes on the test (TN4) than the host can generate simply by the number of dice though...

Trixie has a Deception of 8, making the TN 6.

11 10 09 08 07 07 05 05 05 05 04 04 04 03 01 01
#D:16 TN:6 H#:11 S:6

Sorry McQuillan, got my acronym messed up

Deception 6 (Hacking Pool 10): 14, 13, 10, 7, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1

Deckers--Can you post your DFs with each roll? I know it will create an extra step for you but it will keep me from having to jump back through all the posts to find each of them since it serves as the opposed TN for the system. Thanks!

Whizbang--Remember that you are rolling your Computer (Decking) skill and each test you can only add up to your skill in hacking pool. Utilities will help lower your TNs.

Non-Deckers--What do you want to do while the deckers have their out of body experiences? Any contacts you want to hit up for info or deals you want to broker?

No problem, McQuillan, current DF is 14.

Oops...I'm learning, thanks for having patience with me.

Guess I can use those extra 4 pool dice to increase my DF to 9, and drop bod for Masking to boost it on to 11.

Nothing to do really. The last thing we would need is for another shedim or another team of hitmen to show up.

Has Hafiz left with Biomage yet?

Leo--Yes he has...

Deckers--Anyone hopping into the next secure system give me another access test. (The system is three-tiered with the paydata on the third tier.)

DF: 11

Access Test: 17, 11, 7, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1

Putting two Hacking Pool into DF, bringing DF to 15, with 8 Pool left over.

Computer: 10 10 08 08 08 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 01 01 01 01

Fenris--I saw the IC post, I just need your roll.

Current Detection Factor: 14
Access test (TN 14-10=4):
Computer(Decking): 07 07 05 04 04 04 02 02 01 01
Hacking Pool: 10 05 05 04 03 03 02 02 01

Any possibility that Donovan could use his deck to browse in tortoise mode and feed the screens into his image link?

I'm looking for specific information on what a shedim is and how to fight one.

Sure. Roll your computer use.

Just to verify, the three doors represent the of the tiered hosts, right?

They are access points to other tiered hosts, correct. The Central one is where you need to go if you want to get the information that Trixie thinks will provide Pay data...

I'm going to run a quick security scan to see what our Security Tally and Host Status is.

Control Channel is 8, Host's Control Rating is 15, so my TN is 7.

Computer roll: 10 08 08 07 07 05 05 05 05 05 04 03 03 03 03 02 (5 Successes)

If we're still safe (no IC tracking us or whatever) then I'll open the door to the next host.

Deception of 8, Host Access of 14 = TN of 6

Computer roll: 11 11 11 09 08 05 05 04 03 03 02 02 02 02 02 01 (5 successes)

Ecc--Your current ST is 3. The Host has not yet triggered an alert, active or passive. If you want to detect any reactive IC you'll have to use a Find IC action, but there are no active ones yet.

Access it is.

Host access of 14 (14-10=4):
Computer(Decking): 09 05 04 04 03 03 02 01 01 01
Hacking pool: 09 05 05 05 04 04 04 01 01
11 successes, DF is 14.

Access: 15, 11, 9, 7, 5, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

DF: 11

Analyze icon (Have no idea of the TN, but I have an Analyze(10):
Computer(Decking): 15 05 04 04 04 03 02 01 01 01
Hacking Pool: 11 08 05 03 03 02 02 01 01

Just in case I don't have time to post it tommorrow, work is shipping me back to Florida for another 5 days. Hopefully I'll be back sometime Friday evening.

Crash her. Everyone gang up, we really don't have any other options. She's a user, we can't use any programs or anything similar to get around it, and if we try something, she looks like she's going to shoot us anyway.

Attack program 4L (Can you tell who doesn't do this much? ;D ):
Computer(Decking): 14 08 05 05 05 04 03 02 02 01
Hacking: 11 10 05 04 04 03 03 01 01

I think we need to roll init first.

Matrix Init: 31

edit: And just so you know, Trixie has a nice Attack D 8, so that'll come in handy.

Yes, if you aren't going to negotiate or talk your way out of this, I'm going to need initiative checks.

McQ: Could we forge documents on the spot to give to her? I thought we could, but was willing to follow Fenris' lead.

I might be mis-reading things. McQuillan, can we forge what she's looking for? Do the apps we have for Deception and all that still work on actual people?

Found an internet cafe...unfortunatly don't have my sheet here to roll anything

Fenris--I don't have a precedent saying no, so I would allow you to whip up a file to hand over to her. Forgery would be applicable, you may need a distraction if you want to validate the file with the host so it stands up if she checks it.

Place Comm Call is a Files test. I have a 6 in the channel.

Computer: 16 11 11 10 09 05 05 05 05 04 03 03 02 01 01 01

I'll also throw out an Etiquette and Negotiations roll for distracting the Security Decker.

Etiquette: 10 08 04 03 02 02
Negotiations: 11 08 05 04 03 01

Why not. I'll toss out a Familiarity test too, I have both Security Networks and Data Archives at 6, so I'm sure one of them will apply. I also get -1 TN to the test for being Otaku.

Familiarity: 10 05 04 03 02 02

I'll do the validate thing while Eccy distracts:

Validate (17?-10=TN 7):
Computer(Decking): 07 05 03 03 02 01 01 01 01 01
Hacking Pool: 05 05 04 03 02 02 02 01 01

Karma pool : 20 09 05 04 03 02 02 01 01
10 08 05 05 04 04 03 03 02

Should be a total of 5 successes, unless I'm using the wrong TN

And a little Etiquette to pull it off right?:
Etiquette(Matrix): 11 08 04 02 02

I've got Deception(10) too, if that'd help

Finally back...and looks like I won't need to roll anything after all.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to have very spotty internet access for the next three weeks. Going up to visit some friends, and I don't know if I'll be able to post regularly. In the meantime, feel free to NPC me McQuillan, and good luck, guys!

I have an Index of 8

Computers: 15 11 11 09 05 04 04 04 03 02 02 02 01 01 01 01

Same thing as before... Launch the 'bat, take a look around then park her.

Alright decker team, now it's time for the initiative rolls.

Shadow--were you going to post the intro or would you like me to do it for you? Remember Jester should have a ton of karma if you ever want to re-roll a test you aren't happy with.

I hate to use it when it isn't critical. You go ahead and post it, I like your writing.

Init: 23

Init: 32

Ecc--You're up.

Free: Analyze IC: 11 10 05 05 04 04 01 01

Hitting it with a pair of Attack 8D.

Computer + 8 Hacking: 15 10 09 08 08 08 07 05 05 05 05 04 03 03 02 02
Computer + 2 Hacking: 11 09 08 08 03 02 01 01 01 01

I will karma if needed to hit.
