Nope, just your fearless leader.
Blitz
I apologize for my lack of interaction. Financial woes have forced me to cancel my internet service at home, but I will be able to make regular appearances when at work. My schedule is a bit wonky (10pm - 7am Friday night-Wednesday Morning) so please be patient with me!

Just got to work. Expect an update soon.
Shadow
Guys I hate to see this die... Blitz, can Gren NPC you just so we can get the ball rolling again...

Gren, are you okay with that?
WinterRat1
I agree with Shadow, it's been an excellent game thus far and I would also want to see it continue. Hopefully we can make that happen. smile.gif
grendel
It's going to be up to Blitz. When we started up a new tabletop campaign, I told her that I would generate these runs so that she could play out Blitz's acts of retribution against the corporation and see her into semi-retirement. She is quite attached to the character and the vicious events which I set in motion against her require closure. Not the least of which is because this now involves an NPC which was a major villain from the campaign which replaced the one Blitz was playing it as well as an NPC which figures significantly in the life of one of the characters in my current campaign. (Oh what a tangled web we weave....) In any case, I'll speak with her and see what her feelings on the manner are.
WinterRat1
If she doesn't want you to NPC the character, that's totally understandable. Perhaps if she simply provided you with some instructions just for the time being, since we're all locked down sitting in the van in stasis until we get instructions from Blitz (the character and the player).

Would that be satisfactory to her?
Blitz
Im really sorry guys...let this one fall by the wayside. I'll try to keep it going. In the future, he's welcome to NPC me, but I'll try to keep that necessity from occuring.
Shadow
Don't sweat it Blitz, we all have RL troubles that often interfere with what we wish was our real life smile.gif
SyNafay
ah, you know me... im open to want ever...
WinterRat1
Echo that Blitz. It's your show, and I personally am just enjoying the ride. And no sweat, RL has a tendency of occupying our time.

In this particular instance, I just wanted Blitz (the character) to just say, "yes, we can leave now." wink.gif
Shadow
I hope you guys dont mind if I bump the thread up a little....
SyNafay
I am all for it....
WinterRat1
Grendel,

I'm planning on taking my time, setting up superuser accounts on both the main host and the secure host, so I can take my time and let the alarms dwindle. How do you want to handle the decking? Maybe just allow me to set up the superuser account for the main host, since that wasn't too hard, and just handle the hacking of the secure one?

Also, you want me to look for you via IM or do this all via posting?
Shadow
Like any good Brick, Ivan is going to stay close to his mark. He is alos going to keep a watchful eye out for anyone following or taking to much interest in what they are doing.

WinterRat1
Um, is everyone else still here? Is it totally necessary to wait on Blitz for everything? Aren't at least some people running around going to a meet or something if I recall correctly?
WinterRat1
Grendel, are you waiting on me for another decking run? And is said run necessary with the passcodes I set up? Since the only things I want to do are 'free' operations with the basic passcode (search for data, download data) do we need another run?
grendel
The system will still attempt to oppose you, requiring decking.
Fenris
So, Grendel and Winter, are you setting up the next run via PM or IM or something?
Shadow
Intimidate, Physical

8 5 1 1
WinterRat1
it's up guys, the latest scoop we picked up. Sorry about the delay everyone, getting together to deck was challenging.
SyNafay
its so nice to be on again!!!!!
SyNafay
i guess i spoke to soon
Fenris
I think we're pretty much waiting on Synafay to complete her transactions, and the results from the latest bit of decking.
Blitz
Ok everyone. Gencon SoCal is starting tomorrow and Im on my way. Will be incommunicado until Sunday (unless I can find a connection somewhere) so Ill see ya then.
WinterRat1
I don't think I have any more decking to do at this moment, the last info I had was up. Did I miss something that is cause me to be the slow-up culprit?
Fenris
Heading off to SoCal myself, so I'll be out till Sunday as well.

WinterRat1
Hey Everyone, was it me holding everyone up? If so, I apologize, I thought we were waiting on...well, I don't know what. I've been extremely busy, so I'm just now catching up. But my apologies to everyone if it was my bad, and just prompt me next time if we're waiting on me.
Blitz
No worries..with the holidays and gencon, it was bound to slow down anyway...
grendel
You know I'm always ready to work. smile.gif
Blitz
That's because you are not human
grendel
You say that as if it were somehow a bad thing.
Blitz
Not at all! Just stating a fact smile.gif
Fenris
Just as an FYI, I'm out of the country for the holidays. I'll be back on the 2nd (not that I expect to get left behind or anything wink.gif so I just wanted to let everyone know.

Gods how I wish Id stuck around, this has to be setting a record for longest Dumpshock campaign by now.
Fenris
Extasiss is at 48 weeks wink.gif
Fenris
Any chance Blitz is going to be done going over the security anytime soon?
grendel
You could always help her plan.
Fenris
Hey, no problem! I've got corporate security. Are we talking IC or OOC here?
grendel
IC. Always the best way to go.
Fenris
Corporate Security: 07 07 02

Maybe Small Unit Tactics as a complementary to narrow the focus down to things specifically regarding a small group assualting the facility?: 11 05 05 03 03 01

Looking for any obvious holes or specifics that I should bring up and point out. I personally have no idea how to deal with security like that wink.gif

If you can give me some idea of what the character might know and have opinions about, and I'll take it IC.

The security perimeters as reported will be difficult to breach, unless holes are first opened by a decker or inside personnel. The weakest part of any security system is the (meta)human element. Gaining access to Novatech personnel, though, only adds another layer of security to penetrate.

Even if the team manages to get through the external surveillance perimeters, to successfully recover the cyberware will require the team to successfully infiltrate and exfiltrate the labdecks without setting off any alarms. If the alarms are triggered, the area denial security features will make it almost impossible to move through the building. It's going to require either extreme stealth or extreme firepower.
Fenris
All right, roll call! I'd like to push forward with the run sans Blitz for the moment, she can catch up when she comes back to the boards.

I'm still here -

Fenris playing Ayuda

Anybody else?
WinterRat1
I'm around

WinterRat1 as Ringo
Blitz
Im here...just been busy, and quite frankly, a bit intimidated by the security set up. Without any ideas to post, I just haven't posted. *sheepish grin*
SyNafay
me as parvati!!! really here now that i am in a state that doesnt game!!!!
Fenris
Eh, just like any other run wink.gif

Grendel, looks like Shadow and the Burning One are MIA. You mind NPC'ing them?
WinterRat1
Blitz oh fearless leader, we require your guidance and leadership to proceed, for without you we are lost. Return to lead us! grinbig.gif
grendel
Shadow sent me a PM the other day, so he's around and hopefully ramping back up to his previous level of involvement. But I haven't seen TBO around. I have no problem NPCing them to move the storyline along.
SyNafay
just let me know how much I have to roll for...
