No worries, we just pushed on...cars changed in bends of fuzzy logic...

Info Search: 11 10 09 08 07 04 04 03 03 03 02 01 01 01

Possible Mods: -2 for Knowledge skill of 6+, (I'm not gunna bother keeping a low profile, instead I'll just trust my high DF), -1 for Initiative of +4D6, -1 for Browse of 6+, -2 for appropriate database (Data Havens Knowledge Skill of 6), and -1 for Matrix Etiquette of 5+.

Ecc--A couple times thus far, I've seen you say that you are trusting your DF instead of keeping a low profile...do you realize the low profile option keeps me from rolling the wrong party test? Your DF doesn't come up during info searches...

Search will take 4 hours.

Hmm. Good point. I just figured a DF of 12 was all she'd need, but yeah, info searches aren't resisted, so it doesn't come into play. How does it work if she doesn't keep a low profile? Does everyone automaticly know she is looking? If that is the case, I'll keep a low profile.

IF you don't take a low profile, then the "Wrong Party" test gets rolled. 3d6 tn#6 to see if someone finds out what you are looking for. Generally if you take the low profile option, the TN raises to 10, but I simply don't roll it if you take the modifier.

I'll take the modifier then. I've got other mods to bring it back down and 14 dice to toss around, so it shouldn't hurt too bad.

Understood, the search will take 5 hours then. Technically 4.8 but I'm rounding.

Let me know when its safe to post IC again, ya know, after the 5 hours are up.

So with 5 successes on the search, what exactly did I find out? There wasn't a whole lot of detail there. Or is that all there is? Time to make use of that handy dandy Info Sortilage Echo...

There's not a lot of detail available on the BTLs in the matrix. But you have your 5 successes to work your info sortilage magic.

I believe the team is waiting on you to unplug before making their next step to pack up and leave the area.

Got it.

Ecc--when you get time, did you want to throw the info sortilage? I know Trixie is sleeping now but she can toss all the puzzle pieces into te air and watch the pattern that they fall in when she wakes up...or I can do the ever trendy dream sequence...

McQuillan, I can't find the reference on the IC thread about Zeidel being schizophrenic. You did tell us that, right?

I thought it was something she had to do while awake, but if not, I'll throw the dice for ya right now.

Info Sortilage: 05 03 01 01 01 01

Karma Reroll: 11 08 05 04 03 01

Leo--Yes, in the fragmented files that Trixie found there was mention of a report that Zeidel was shizophrenic, but that came out late in the investigation around his death.

Ecc--I'm fluid with it. It says you have to sit down and think about how everything fits together...I'd say it's possible to do that while you're sleeping since you've been entrenched in this investigation to the exclusion of eating and sleeping for the most part.

Sleep regulators are cool like that.

Btw, I don't know if you want to roll for the time, or if you want me to, but if you want me to, it took 2 hours to do the Info Sortilage.

That works fine with me.

Thanks McQuillan. My bad on the Portugal thing earlier. I was watching a documentary having to do with Portugal the night I read the post about Mennon, and I got the memories confused. You covered it well in IC though.

I'll default to Intelligence, since Biomage doesn't have SMG B/R, unless anyone else does.

Priced as per the book w/SI and a 10% markup for expediting delivery. Roll them bones.

Intelligence Roll: 1, 3, 3, 7, 5

Guess it won't stay on.

My apologies to the gun aficionados, I've never disassembled an SMG or added on any form of recoil suppression after market to a gun. But since Biomage doesn't exactly know what he's doing, we're in the same boat.

lol...sorry, just the picture of the mage sitting there staring at the pieces of the gun on the table with a confused look on his face.

I've got Pistol B/R, and with some task pool I might be able to swing something (Defaulting to another linked skill is only a +2, right?): 2,2,2,11,8

Here's a few more rolls to see if Biomage can pull this off. If not, then Biomage will just put the gun back together and give up.

Intelligence Roll: 5, 3, 2, 7, 1
Intelligence Roll: 1, 3, 9, 3, 5
Intelligence Roll: 5, 2, 2, 1, 4

I think it's a TN of 11 due to a base of 5 with +4 for defaulting and +2 for inadquate tools. If that's true, then it's a no go.

I just thought of something too. Biomage has a point of good karma still. Maybe I could use it to buy a point of SMG B/R if Jack's skill roll isn't enough.

Leowulf--You should have more than a pt of good karma, you get a point every calendar week as long as you post. As for the gun, it was a base of 11 and each retry raises the TN.

Fenris--you're roll was sufficient.

I was afraid of the TN being raised. Guess it's just an impossible task for Biomage. That's guaranteed to piss him off.

A point for every week? I'll have to add that up.

Thanks for the assistance, Fenris.

Trixie is going to post all the data they found out about the chip, including a few pictures she took with her P-Sec. She's going to foward the info to Captian Chaos, so he can submit it without her name on it. She'll ID herself to him, cause he may just know her name from stuff that happened inside the Arcology. I'll give you a computer roll to erase her trails.

Computer: 17 10 09 08 08 05 05 05 04 03 03 02 02 02 01 01

Ok man, you totally threw me on that last post. How does she react to this? Is it like a normal thing for her, or is she freaked out by what is going on around her? I don't want to use OOC knowledge on something IC if I'm not supposed to know it cause of some effect or whatever.

Ecc--It seems real, feel free to roll your willpower if something seems out of the ordinary like a rat screaming...otherwise you can just play along...

Willpower: 16 15 08 04 04 03 03 03 03

Grey--I'm sorry, I had to do it at least once...

Ecc--Good roll. Your base knowledge of programming/decking will tell you that someone laid an elaborate trap in the satellite grid waiting for your signature to log back in. Time to break out...run your actions as if you were there in your meat body, substitute computer for any skill you don't have but need.

Astral Perception Test: 8, 4, 2, 3, 4

Happy Monday everyone. McQuillan, I'm gunna have Trixie dumpshock herself, just yank the cord. If that would take another willpower check, just say the word and I'll edit if need be. I'm also assuming that because I use actions as if I was in my meat body, that I may be touching something akin to UV here, so I'll just give you a Willpower check to resist the damage and you can tell me how much I take.

Willpower: 11 09 04 03 03 02 02 01 01
Karma Reroll: 11 09 08 05 04 04 03 02 02

Also keep in mind that I have the Neurofilter Echo, so that should help a bit too.

Ecc--To keep things moving, I rolled your willpower for you. You were able to jack out. Take a Serious.

Gotcha. Thanks for rolling, I didn't get much computer time on the weekend.

Shadow: You last post confused me, Trixie already yanked the cord free herself in my last post.

Willpower to reists flashbacks: 09 05 03 03 03 02 02 01 01

Though one success is enough, I'm gunna have it happen anyways due to the extreem nature of what just happened.

Oops, I must have missed that.

Shadow--Buddha is playing Calisto now, not Sully.

Damn him and his female death machines!!!!

Okay fixing it now.

LOL!

Hey McQ, I don't want to step on anyones shoes by posting to fast, but basically Jester is going to activate his secsystem, and tear the hell out of there.

Shadow--Understood.

I assume someone else was in the back. (crosses fingers)

I'd Presume that Jack and Biomage are. Wren has his own car...

At this point, I'm going to ask the group how they are feeling size wise. Cheezypoof has not been posting in the last month or so and has not repsonded to my PMs, so I am going to drop Wren from the game. Do you guys feel happy as you stand now or would you like me to recruit one more person?

If recruiting, what would you like me to fill? Wren was a B/E specialist...

I'm okay with the group as it is. I think we can handle it Or, rather, I don't think dragging one more poor soul to his impending doom would save any of us.
