0 hits. Wow! That is unlucky.

Uh-huh. I was full in my writing flow and half expected the dice gods to appreciate bnc's preparations. Well, they didn't...

Oh man, this is bad

Cha + Wip: 7d6t5 0

I rolled a critical glitch. It's up to the GM to determine what happens

Happy New Year!

Bye
Thanee

Happy new year to you guys, too!

Happy new years!

@Thanee Nova could use leadership to add dice to bnc so that she can pass a composure test and regain her senses.

Sounds good!

Bye
Thanee

So, just so I got this right... the Scanner would "copy" everything that is inside our bodies, even if it is just in a compartment, but not anything, we wear, hold or carry?

Bye
Thanee

Yes, pretty much.

Ugh, shit, had I known, bnc would have shoved a fistful of drugs up her ... uhm ... body.

I just caught up on Nova's thread (I didn't read it before because I didn't want any spoilers regarding the other side).

Isn't Nova still stark naked, covered in ash and unarmed?

I was assuming, she had some kind of blue jumpsuit? Not entirely sure, to be honest.

The gun was inside her body (cyber holster) and therefore was scanned-in, apparantly (at least, that's as far as I understand).

Bye
Thanee

In the simulation you wear the blue jumpsuit you were scanned with, the naked and ash and dead bodies are just to mess with your mind.

Oh, what about bnc then? Did she keep the gun and boots and cool jacket and stuff?

Yes

Nice

Haha! I was wondering the same thing about the horrors.

Bye
Thanee

Yeah, that does feel strange.

@Gilga What do you mean by Hacking? The skill Hacking? Hacking on the fly? Edit File?

The skill hacking. no specialties, unfortunately.

It doesn't matter for this roll, but for future rolls, I need to know:
- do I count as in hot-sim? (+2)
- do my nanites matter? (+1 to all Logic and/or Intuition related skills)
- do I get the nanites' wifi bonus (doubles the bonus from above)

Yeah, that is something, that could be relevant for a bunch of things... i.e. does Wifi Bonus apply for cyberware?

Also, if bnc can change things with Hacking. Can she do that with stuff other people have? She could, for example, disable weapons that way.

Bye
Thanee

I think, Fox even mentioned she could take an opponent's gun.

Things work, there is no hot sim bonus, and no wireless bonuses.

Saved by the fox:
navigation: 10d6t5 7
survival: 8d6t5 2

He's the one who knows this place. Makes sense he will find the way. 7 hits, though. Hah!

Bye
Thanee

So, do we get over the wall? As described here:

http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?s=&a...t&p=1357778

Bye
Thanee

With Nova's sneaking, she has no problem getting over the wall and even carrying the others.
I'll roll against the minimal sneaking roll notice that Nova can roll teamwork (I'll assume she does otherwise Fox is likely a bust).
Sneaking: 8d6t5 3
so just bnc

Sneaking: 6d6t5 1

So, uhm. Teamwork, pleeze?

How would that work here?

Bye
Thanee

I don't know either ^^

@Thanee
Whom did she mean by "you" in this?

She is talking to Fox. I literally had to ask the same question three times before getting an answer that actually answers it.

Bye
Thanee

Yep, I made the same experience. Twice, actually, only the second time I just let it go. Fox is absolutely horrible in answering questions

Fox is not entirely with you, he is super stresssed and distracted.

Anyways, if there is anything Nova can do to help them with the stealth, she will.

Bye
Thanee

+1

I think the rules permit teamwork in stealth, e.g., timing when people move and when they hide and so forth. I'll try to get a post laters.

So, reading the section about Teamwork tests (p. 49 SR5), it is just one roll made by the leader, which would be Nova here, assisted by the others. Each hit by the others gives +1 Limit and +1 dice.

So, effectively, Nova would have 3 more dice and a Limit of 12 instead of 9.

But since I rolled 9 hits, already, that won't make any difference, I guess.

So, if we consider this a Teamwork test, we should be good.

Bye
Thanee

Four questions:

a) How many hours have we now been inside the sim?

b) Are we already at the core? If not, where are we?

c) Do I remember correctly that it is very rare that newcomers arrive?

d) Are there other settlements inside the same simulation or can we expect everyone to know everyone?

Hah! I literally just had the same thought about c/d.

Bye
Thanee

There is one settlement, everyone sort of knows everyone but there are new people all the time. You are at the single village in simulation called Core.

Didn't Fox say earlier, that there are like 10 buildings? Guess it is a little bigger after all.

Bye
Thanee

So, pretending to be from somewhere else won't work. So I have to pretend to be a newbie, right?

@gilga Would you please also answer a)
Thanks!

Five hours give or take.

Just for the record: Do they ignore what bnc said to them without contacting her or did you miss her message ooc?
Or do we not have a phone connection at all?

I saw it. Not sure, we can use phones here, since there does not seem to be a Matrix.

Either way, waiting a few minutes still seems like the right thing to do.

Bye
Thanee

You'll be able to send messages once you restock on supplies. Nova/fox do not have a comlink right now, (unless Nova had one in her body).
bnc has a deck which is also a comlink so I'll allow them to contact her once they got the hardware.

Nova always has her commlink and a couple other important items in her smuggling compartment.

The problem might be, though, that the commlinks need to log into the Matrix, in order to allow communication. And if that is not there, they simply wouldn't work (other than in "offline mode").

Bye
Thanee

I allowed bnc to use the deck, so I think for fairness the comlink is cool as well.

Works for me.

Thanee
