MilesMk1 (8:37:12 PM): Hey.
Umbrafer (8:37:18 PM): Ahoy
Umbrafer (8:37:20 PM): Sorry for the delay
Thematrian1 (8:37:22 PM): hi
Umbrafer (8:39:05 PM): So what word on the new schedule?
Umbrafer (8:40:41 PM): *Tumbleweed*
Thematrian1 (8:40:53 PM): well, I've got to ask first
Thematrian1 (8:40:59 PM): which I had forgotten to do, so there you are
Thematrian1 (8:41:16 PM): the schedule remains unchanged for next week
Umbrafer (8:42:09 PM): Well, your call if you want to talk about it now or later. I'm still digging up my notes.
Umbrafer (8:44:10 PM): Mmk.
Thematrian1 (8:44:16 PM): set?
Umbrafer (8:44:19 PM): When we last left our antiheroes, they were at the top of a stairwell.
Thematrian1 (8:44:37 PM): we were? I thought we made it to the basement and seen the mackarel room?
Umbrafer (8:45:02 PM): You opened the door to the mackarel room.
Umbrafer (8:45:09 PM): It opened onto a staircase leading down.
Thematrian1 (8:45:52 PM): ah yes
Thematrian1 (8:46:22 PM): we're getting distracted, and I know we're getting distracted, but let's go downstairs anyway
Thematrian1 (8:46:24 PM): astral vision ON
Umbrafer (8:46:31 PM): Perception.
Thematrian1 (8:46:38 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 1 4 4 4
MilesMk1 (8:47:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 6 5 5 6
MilesMk1 (8:47:52 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 3
Umbrafer (8:48:23 PM): Gem sees nothing in particular. Glitch sees a small camera on the ceiling and another one at the base of the stairs.
MilesMk1 (8:48:33 PM): #Cameras#
MilesMk1 (8:48:41 PM): Can I determine if they're working?
Thematrian1 (8:48:44 PM): #Power's still out, right?#
MilesMk1 (8:49:02 PM): #It was last time I checked, but this could be an independent system.#
Thematrian1 (8:49:51 PM): #Right#
Umbrafer (8:50:14 PM): They don't have an indicator light, but these look like they're actually intended to be somewhat subtle. To be sure you'd have to be right up next to them.
MilesMk1 (8:50:26 PM): (You know, sometimes SR makes me want to pull my hair out. The other day, an electrician was checking things at work, and he was using this thingy he could just wave around in the general vicinity of a wire, and know if there was
MilesMk1 (8:50:30 PM): current.)
MilesMk1 (8:50:43 PM): Well, I don't show up on cameras, so...
MilesMk1 (8:50:53 PM): #Hold on, I'll check.#
Umbrafer (8:51:06 PM): (Yeah, I'm assuming you have one of those.)
Thematrian1 (8:51:08 PM): (That sounds awesome Is there any reason we couldn't have one of those in SR?)
Umbrafer (8:51:28 PM): (I'm also assuming that you need to get somewhere in the general vicinity of the wire to use it.)
MilesMk1 (8:51:43 PM): (Fair enough... I just wasn't sure, with SR tech being weird.)
Umbrafer (8:51:59 PM): (I mean, there's nothing like that in the books explicitly mentioned, no.)
MilesMk1 (8:51:59 PM): *checks the cameras*
Umbrafer (8:52:26 PM): Roll Stealth if you're trying to do it discreetly.
MilesMk1 (8:52:44 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 6 4 2 1 2
MilesMk1 (8:52:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (8:52:54 PM): 11+ruthenium
MilesMk1 (8:53:21 PM): I guess... 23, or 17 vs. thermal?
Umbrafer (8:53:21 PM): *Nods*
Umbrafer (8:54:06 PM): You get right up next to the first camera. It seems like there's a very faint, flickering current.
MilesMk1 (8:54:15 PM): (BTW, a picture of ruthenium at work: http://www.wtv-zone.com/kingdon/11/camouflage.jpg ;))
Umbrafer (8:54:49 PM): (Now I'm going to have to find an excuse to get Glitch into a furniture store.)
MilesMk1 (8:55:33 PM): Do I know what that means? Is it an indication things aren't working, or could this be some sort of standby-mode and it'll power up fully if we set off a motion sensor, or something?
Umbrafer (8:56:14 PM): (It's an irregular flickering, nothing steady. It's not impossible that it was designed to look like it's failing, but that seems like a pretty big stretch to you.)
MilesMk1 (8:56:17 PM): (I'm not completely sure whether to treat that picture as a sad comment on the new digital camo, that sofa, or possibly, both.)
Umbrafer (8:56:43 PM): (Your guess is that it's experiencing some sort of failure, either in the camera or at the power source.)
MilesMk1 (8:57:18 PM): #It's getting faint intermittent current - unless this is something extremely baroque, I'd say we can go by.#
Thematrian1 (8:57:31 PM): #Then let's roll#
Thematrian1 (8:57:42 PM): I walk down the stairs, still rocking the astralvision
MilesMk1 (8:57:45 PM): You know, I meant to ask... Is Gem doing this with her face covered up?
MilesMk1 (8:57:49 PM): Wait.
MilesMk1 (8:58:02 PM): Did I also get to check the one below?
Umbrafer (8:58:16 PM): No. Let's get another Stealth to get down there.
Thematrian1 (8:58:30 PM): I suppose. I never specified it, though. And hold on the walking down the stairs, if he's only checked one camera
MilesMk1 (8:58:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 2 2 4 3
MilesMk1 (8:58:44 PM): Bah.
MilesMk1 (8:58:53 PM): 16 / 10
Umbrafer (8:59:12 PM): Yeah, I figured you were going to belay that one.
Umbrafer (8:59:18 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 1 3 3 5 6 3 4 2 3 1 4 3 3 3
Umbrafer (8:59:23 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (8:59:36 PM): Mmk. You get down the stairs and check the lower camera.
Umbrafer (8:59:53 PM): This one's giving off a clean, steady signal. There's current aplenty here.
MilesMk1 (9:00:13 PM): #Well, this one's working... Damn.#
MilesMk1 (9:00:45 PM): Is there a door down there? And if yes, I assume opening it would show up on the camera?
Thematrian1 (9:00:48 PM): #Can you crack it?#
MilesMk1 (9:01:29 PM): #Should be able to, but there's always the random factor...#
MilesMk1 (9:02:26 PM): Ok, two things: First I'll go back up, and check the first camera. For all I know, they both got power back as I was going down the stairs.
Umbrafer (9:02:29 PM): There is a door, and the camera's pointed so that it's well within its FOV.
Umbrafer (9:02:36 PM): It seems to be the camera's purpose in life, as it were.
Thematrian1 (9:02:44 PM): #Check. It's your job, so it's your call. This isn't in the main line of our mission, but it may well be more valuable than what we're being paid for, if we work it right.#
Umbrafer (9:02:45 PM): First camera's still flickering irregularly.
MilesMk1 (9:03:11 PM): #Well... We don't actually know where they keep the server, so it could be...#
MilesMk1 (9:03:56 PM): Ok, in that case, I'm going to take out the second camera, trying to make it look like - if anyone's monitoring it - like it suffered a power failure, or fried from a spike due to the intermittent outages, or something.
Umbrafer (9:04:28 PM): Mmk. Roll it.
MilesMk1 (9:04:36 PM): B/R, the electronics?
MilesMk1 (9:04:39 PM): then
MilesMk1 (9:04:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 1 6 1 3 1 3
Umbrafer (9:05:00 PM): Electronics to figure out the way to make it look like an accident, B/R to actually do it.
MilesMk1 (9:05:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:05:08 PM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (9:05:11 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 6 6 6 3 3 5
MilesMk1 (9:05:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 6 2
MilesMk1 (9:05:19 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (9:05:39 PM): #I think I got it... Hold on....#
Umbrafer (9:06:46 PM): *Kzzt*
Umbrafer (9:07:38 PM): After about twenty seconds of tinkering, the current stops flowing.
MilesMk1 (9:08:26 PM): Do I think I succeeded in my fiendish plan? Or did I just fry it randomly, hence the *Kzzt*?
Umbrafer (9:09:16 PM): You're pretty sure it looked accidental.
MilesMk1 (9:09:52 PM): #Yep, that did it. Let's go.#
MilesMk1 (9:10:01 PM): *takes a minute to examine the door*
Thematrian1 (9:10:18 PM): Down I go.
MilesMk1 (9:11:13 PM): (Next thing I'm doing in my spare time is making a gadget that I'll be able to splice into a camera's power feed, making it flicker at apparently random - but known to me - intervals.)
Umbrafer (9:11:45 PM): It's another secured door, pretty similar to the one above. It's smaller, though—a mere five and a half feet tall. They must not have any Trolls cleared for this area.
MilesMk1 (9:12:27 PM): Five and a half? What is this, the place from "Being John Malkovich?"
Umbrafer (9:12:40 PM): You won't know unless you try it ;)
MilesMk1 (9:12:50 PM): Ok, I'll try to have my way with the door, unless Gem warns me not to.
MilesMk1 (9:13:13 PM): On account of her Astral surveillance, I mean.
Umbrafer (9:13:32 PM): Gem? Any warnings?
Thematrian1 (9:14:09 PM): You haven't mentioned anything astrallyunusual, so I suppose not.
Umbrafer (9:14:40 PM): Nothing unusual is visible. There's more of a sterile feel to the astral down here, though.
Thematrian1 (9:14:56 PM): yeah, probably not a server room
Thematrian1 (9:15:02 PM): #The astral is clear. Go for it.#
MilesMk1 (9:16:08 PM): Ok, I try to crack the door.
Umbrafer (9:16:26 PM): Roll them bones.
MilesMk1 (9:16:30 PM): (That reminds me - second thing to do, get a fiberoptic probe for looking under doors.)
MilesMk1 (9:16:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 1 4 4 1 3 4 4
MilesMk1 (9:16:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 1 6 6 6 6 6 2
MilesMk1 (9:16:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 1 6 6
MilesMk1 (9:16:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
Umbrafer (9:16:55 PM): Whooj.
Thematrian1 (9:17:04 PM): I'll say
MilesMk1 (9:17:10 PM): Well, except my B/R roll wasn't all that hot...
Umbrafer (9:17:15 PM): You don't do such a great job cracking the case, but damned if the circuitry doesn't melt like butter in your hands.
CirclMastr has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (9:17:36 PM): #Cheap Malaysian door hardware...#
Umbrafer (9:18:11 PM): No, actually, it's a high-quality manufacturer. It just happens to be the manufacturer you spent most of your time practicing on when you were but a wee Shadowrunner.
MilesMk1 (9:18:35 PM): Heh... I meant the casing. ;)
Umbrafer (9:18:41 PM): Oh, yeah.
Umbrafer (9:18:45 PM): That stuff'
Umbrafer (9:18:58 PM): , total lowest bidder material.
Umbrafer (9:19:14 PM): (No, it's actually a security measure, but you don't tell the spectators that)
CirclMastr (9:19:38 PM): (What'd I miss?)
Umbrafer (9:19:47 PM): (They went down some stairs)
Thematrian1 (9:19:59 PM): (safely)
MilesMk1 (9:20:12 PM): (Bypassed some security, about to enter the Mackerel Room)
MilesMk1 (9:20:38 PM): Ok, that done, I enter the room as carefully as I can. Crack the door, get a look, then open it fully if it looks ok.
Umbrafer (9:21:41 PM): Perception.
CirclMastr (9:21:45 PM): Hound sets the spider to auo-perch mode and hops into the blimp to check out the environs.
Umbrafer (9:22:00 PM): A+P sensors?
Umbrafer (9:22:23 PM): (Roll them, rather)
CirclMastr (9:22:25 PM): Someday I will remember how that works.
Umbrafer (9:22:55 PM): Active is your Sensor rating, Passive is your normal Perception roll but using the drone's vision mods.
MilesMk1 (9:23:08 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 3 2 6 5 2
MilesMk1 (9:23:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
MilesMk1 (9:23:27 PM): Oh, and I'll check for ultrasound motion detectors, while I'm at it.
MilesMk1 (9:23:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 6 6 4 6 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:23:42 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 6 3 5 2
MilesMk1 (9:23:55 PM): (Electronics for that check, assuming it was needed.)
CirclMastr (9:24:06 PM): *digs out R3R*
MilesMk1 (9:24:20 PM): (Man, I wish I could save the last few rolls for some future emergency...)
Umbrafer (9:24:32 PM): Well, first what you see with your mark I… II… III…whatever version your eyeballs are.
Umbrafer (9:24:59 PM): In short, it looks like an office pool.
CirclMastr (9:25:11 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
CirclMastr (9:25:17 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 5 2 5 2
Umbrafer (9:25:28 PM): Some partitions, desks, displays and loose jacks, and some nerf footballs.
CirclMastr (9:25:31 PM): (A good poker hand, but not so good a roll)
Umbrafer (9:26:04 PM): (Was that Active and Passive, respectively?)
CirclMastr (9:26:17 PM): (The first was Sensor on the blimp, second was my Perception)
Umbrafer (9:26:47 PM): It's coming in patches, but the city is definitely starting to light up again.
Umbrafer (9:27:01 PM): In the light, you can see smoke rising from a few places in the city.
Thematrian1 (9:27:38 PM): oh good
CirclMastr (9:27:48 PM): Mmmm, rioting.... *drools*
Thematrian1 (9:28:06 PM): #Hound, we need you to take your spider and find other places on this floor that might be the server room#
MilesMk1 (9:28:47 PM): (Damn it... I knew messing with Mackerel Room was going to bite us in the ass. Then again, we were going to do this job without the benefit of the blackout to begin with, so...)
CirclMastr (9:28:49 PM): #Aww, and I was just admiring the lights coming back on in the city. And the fires.#
MilesMk1 (9:29:13 PM): #Aw, hell. Everyone, be careful with the cameras, if the power's coming back...#
CirclMastr (9:29:17 PM): Hound dutifully jumps back into the spider and skitters off to search non-Mackerel Rooms.
Thematrian1 (9:29:18 PM): (Right. We can still make this work, we just have to be fast)
Umbrafer (9:29:49 PM): So to be clear, which floor is Hound's spider exploring?
Thematrian1 (9:29:59 PM): The one above this one, was my intent
CirclMastr (9:30:01 PM): Uh, the floor the group is currently on?
Umbrafer (9:30:07 PM): B1?
CirclMastr (9:30:13 PM): Oh. Well, after Gem informs Hound of that, he'll go up a floor.
Thematrian1 (9:30:15 PM): we actually went down some stairs, so we're not on the floor with the server, probably
Umbrafer (9:30:49 PM): As for the ultrasound, you get some pings, but it doesn't seem like you're near a covered area.
CirclMastr (9:31:01 PM): *skitter skitter*
MilesMk1 (9:31:14 PM): Ok... Any sign of cameras in the room itself? If not, let's look around quickly, then get out.
Umbrafer (9:31:39 PM): You don't see any.
MilesMk1 (9:31:56 PM): #Looks clear to me. Let's check this out, then get back to the job.#
MilesMk1 (9:32:19 PM): *takes a walk around the room, looking for anything of interest*
Umbrafer (9:32:44 PM): There are a few areas that seem ultrasound-covered; you steer clear of those.
CirclMastr (9:33:20 PM): Spider examines rooms by squeezing under doors, until he sees something that looks like a server.
Umbrafer (9:33:46 PM): Most of the room appears to be dedicated to programming of some kind. Code snippets are scrawled on whiteboards in various places, and there's a stack of datadiscs with labels on them indicating that they're reference manuals
Umbrafer (9:34:02 PM): Spider: roll Perception. How fast is it?
CirclMastr (9:34:14 PM): How fast is the spider?
Umbrafer (9:34:36 PM): Do any of you have Japanese?
Umbrafer (9:34:38 PM): (Yes)
Umbrafer (9:34:44 PM): Anyone in the lower room, that is?
Thematrian1 (9:34:47 PM): ::chip::
Thematrian1 (9:34:48 PM): Why yes.
Thematrian1 (9:34:50 PM): Yes I do.
CirclMastr (9:34:54 PM): Speed 2
Thematrian1 (9:34:55 PM): at 3+3
Umbrafer (9:35:17 PM): Heh. Well, you see some meaningless characters on a door, underneath the Sperethiel for "Mackarel"
CirclMastr (9:35:28 PM): (Hound has Japanese...)
CirclMastr (9:35:31 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 2 3 2 1
Umbrafer (9:35:32 PM): You chip Japanese. Roll it.
Thematrian1 (9:35:39 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 3 1 5 2
CirclMastr (9:35:40 PM): (Crap. Okay, Spider sees nothing)
Umbrafer (9:35:53 PM): Take 5S pun damage.
Thematrian1 (9:36:56 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
Thematrian1 (9:37:04 PM): (Gem has extremely poor pun resistance)
MilesMk1 (9:37:06 PM): I have Japanese too.
Umbrafer (9:37:09 PM): The door says "server", but written with extra characters. The extra characters, when pronounced with "server", turn the word into "mackarel"
Thematrian1 (9:37:24 PM): #Oh for crying out loud...#
Thematrian1 (9:37:32 PM): #The good news is, I found the server room#
MilesMk1 (9:37:58 PM): #The bad news?#
Thematrian1 (9:38:06 PM): #Do you read Japanese?#
MilesMk1 (9:38:17 PM): #If I want to.#
CirclMastr (9:38:23 PM): Spider wanders around
MilesMk1 (9:38:28 PM): Actually... Check that.
MilesMk1 (9:38:32 PM): #Yeah.#
Thematrian1 (9:38:48 PM): #Then come see for yourself.#
MilesMk1 (9:38:51 PM): (I remembered I actually do barely read Japanese even without the chip.)
MilesMk1 (9:39:03 PM): #This is the server room?#
Umbrafer (9:39:14 PM): (It's a simple pun, you'd get it)
MilesMk1 (9:39:22 PM): *looks at the door*
Umbrafer (9:40:58 PM): It's a pretty standard door. Secured with two-factor identification, it looks like.
CirclMastr (9:41:40 PM): Spider finds the pair downstairs again.
Umbrafer (9:42:36 PM): *Skitter skitter skitter*
Thematrian1 (9:42:57 PM): #This here is the server room. Find anything profitable upstairs?#
CirclMastr (9:43:22 PM): #Only if you need extra TP, industrial-waste-grade.#
Umbrafer (9:44:38 PM): Spider reaches the group.
MilesMk1 (9:45:42 PM): *looks for the server, keeping an eye out for the ultrasound*
Umbrafer (9:46:06 PM): Cracking the door?
MilesMk1 (9:50:37 PM): I thought I already did...
Umbrafer (9:51:19 PM): You've cracked a couple of doors, but this one's different.
MilesMk1 (9:51:25 PM): Oh, wait... This is a second door inside the room I looked around?
MilesMk1 (9:51:42 PM): Well, I'll check it, look foir cameras, then try to crack it, yeah.
Umbrafer (9:51:44 PM): This is inside the door at the bottom of the stairs. Along one of the walls inside that door was another door, which is this door.
Umbrafer (9:53:44 PM): Mmk. No cameras cover it from outside, which seems a little odd.
CirclMastr (9:54:13 PM): Hound hopes back into the van now that his player realizes it has Sensors 5 and not Sensors 1, and tries to look around again.
MilesMk1 (9:54:26 PM): #Can you think of any reasons this place doesn't have a camera covering it?#
Thematrian1 (9:54:40 PM): #We've already passed two?#
MilesMk1 (9:54:51 PM): #Aside from a camera on the other side, anyway... Well, gotta open it.#
MilesMk1 (9:55:21 PM): #Or... Hound, can your spider go under it?#
CirclMastr (9:56:03 PM): #Probably.#
CirclMastr (9:56:16 PM): Hound jumps back into the spider and skitters for the door.
Umbrafer (9:57:05 PM): *Skitter skitter*
Umbrafer (9:58:05 PM): Unfortunately, this particular door is flush, probably for dust reasons.
MilesMk1 (9:58:47 PM): #Was worth a try.#
CirclMastr (9:58:55 PM): Spider bangs impotently on the door with front legs.
MilesMk1 (9:58:59 PM): Ok, I'm going to try to bypass the security.
CirclMastr (9:59:20 PM): (A look through R3R reveals... no tool laser option. Can I get a GM fiat for cost?)
MilesMk1 (9:59:41 PM): What kind of locks are in my way?
Umbrafer (10:00:17 PM): (There's a fixed price that had been decided on, but I forget what it was right now)
Umbrafer (10:00:44 PM): It looks like a combined keypad+cardreader. Like the one at the base of the stairs, they don't look like separate systems.
MilesMk1 (10:01:32 PM): Ok, let me know what to roll...
Umbrafer (10:01:56 PM): Usual E + E B/R
MilesMk1 (10:02:15 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 1 2 4 3 3 4 2
MilesMk1 (10:02:23 PM): Karma.
Umbrafer (10:02:39 PM): Reroll eight.
MilesMk1 (10:02:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 2 3 3 2 2
Umbrafer (10:02:44 PM): Wait.
MilesMk1 (10:02:56 PM): Ok, let's pretend that roll didn't happen.
Umbrafer (10:02:59 PM): Your mods are net what again?
MilesMk1 (10:03:27 PM): -1 from aptitude for Electronics, -2 to IIRC both from microscopic vision
Umbrafer (10:03:48 PM): Ok. Well, in that case, you should have rerolled five.
MilesMk1 (10:04:00 PM): Oh...
Umbrafer (10:04:08 PM): (Man, you people and your giant negative modifiers. Not that I have any room to complain…)
MilesMk1 (10:04:30 PM): Well, let's just move on to the Electronics roll, then...
MilesMk1 (10:05:11 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 2 1 1 4 2 4 2
MilesMk1 (10:05:20 PM): Karma...
CirclMastr (10:05:33 PM): Meanwhile, Hound will go back to the blimp and get that better look.
MilesMk1 (10:05:36 PM): For fuck's sake... 24 dice, one roll over 4.
CirclMastr (10:05:48 PM): CirclMastr rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 2 6
CirclMastr (10:05:50 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CirclMastr (10:05:52 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 5 6 3
CirclMastr (10:05:54 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
MilesMk1 (10:05:55 PM): There's something so wrong with this die roller...
CirclMastr (10:06:08 PM): I dunno, I got three 6's out of 11 dice...
Umbrafer (10:06:20 PM): What are you looking at, apart from the interesting patterns in the better-lit smoke?
MilesMk1 (10:06:26 PM): Not that it's impossible, but I'm losing count of these 1-in-10,000 rolls.
Umbrafer (10:06:46 PM): So were you karmaing that or no?
MilesMk1 (10:06:52 PM): Yeah, sorry.
MilesMk1 (10:06:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 1 6 4 2 1 4 4
MilesMk1 (10:07:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (10:07:06 PM): Whew.
Umbrafer (10:07:10 PM): (There are a lot more uncommon-seeming rolls in 10,000 rolls than you'd think)
Umbrafer (10:07:22 PM): *Shff*
Umbrafer (10:07:36 PM): The door slides open.
Umbrafer (10:07:37 PM): Inside, there are a few things.
Umbrafer (10:08:11 PM): One is an electrical closet
MilesMk1 (10:08:21 PM): #Ok, that was not nearly the hardest lock I had to open, but everything that could go wrong without preventing me from opening it, did...#
Umbrafer (10:08:47 PM): One is a small closet, apparently made out of steel or something similar, with no less than five lock-type devices on it.
MilesMk1 (10:08:55 PM): Eww...
Umbrafer (10:09:10 PM): And one is a rack with a sizable piece of server-type equipment on it.
MilesMk1 (10:09:22 PM): Any cameras?
Umbrafer (10:09:36 PM): Perception.
MilesMk1 (10:09:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 6 3 6 1
MilesMk1 (10:09:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
MilesMk1 (10:09:55 PM): I'm just all over the place, tonight...
Umbrafer (10:10:36 PM): There is a camera. It's set just above the door.
Umbrafer (10:10:42 PM): Well, and to the side.
MilesMk1 (10:11:02 PM): Shiiit.
MilesMk1 (10:11:13 PM): Check it to see if it works?
Umbrafer (10:11:16 PM): It's obviously placed to catch the door.
Umbrafer (10:11:19 PM): Go for it.
CirclMastr (10:11:21 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 2 5 4 4 4
MilesMk1 (10:11:31 PM): What do I roll? Stealth, Electronics?
Umbrafer (10:11:47 PM): Stealth, presumably.
MilesMk1 (10:11:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 5 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:11:55 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (10:11:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (10:12:01 PM): Electronics if you're doing anything more than waving the current-detecting wand around
MilesMk1 (10:12:02 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (10:12:12 PM): Glitch ceases to exist in this reality.
MilesMk1 (10:12:32 PM): And Electronics, to see if if it's working and transmitting data:
MilesMk1 (10:12:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 1 3 4 1 4 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:12:40 PM): Nah, it's dead.
Umbrafer (10:12:57 PM): There's definitely current there. It's difficult to tell whether it's operating or not.
MilesMk1 (10:13:47 PM): #The camera's on. I don't know if someone caught the door opening, yet, but I'm going to close the door and disable the camera. Then come in, and take care of the server, ok?#
CirclMastr (10:13:54 PM): #Looks like power will come back in about five minutes, give or take three minutes.#
MilesMk1 (10:14:25 PM): *puts his plan in motion*
MilesMk1 (10:14:31 PM): (assuming no objections)
Thematrian1 (10:14:36 PM): (Go for it)
MilesMk1 (10:14:45 PM): Electronics:
MilesMk1 (10:14:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 3 6 4 6 3 2 5
MilesMk1 (10:14:52 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 4
MilesMk1 (10:14:55 PM): B/R
MilesMk1 (10:14:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 1 1 5 3 4 4 4
MilesMk1 (10:15:12 PM): Son... Of... A... Well, it's a 7...
MilesMk1 (10:15:31 PM): Not sure if it'll be subtle, but I'm sure it'll take the camera out.
Umbrafer (10:15:49 PM): Your plan was almost fool-proof. Some things were a little loose in the execution, but it should turn out ok. You hope.
MilesMk1 (10:16:04 PM): #Go, go go.#
Thematrian1 (10:16:26 PM): I open the door?
Umbrafer (10:16:44 PM): *Open*
Thematrian1 (10:17:29 PM): and?
Umbrafer (10:17:51 PM): The server glares at you.
MilesMk1 (10:17:53 PM): (Question: I keep on forgetting this, but for Glitch it's only been a day or two: We were NOT told to make sure to leave no traces of the break-in, right? I mean, that'd be a little unrealistic anyway...)
MilesMk1 (10:18:12 PM): (We're good, but not that good, and they're not paying that kind of money.)
Thematrian1 (10:18:19 PM): (They'll know no matter what, so 'not tracable to our source' should suffice)
MilesMk1 (10:18:27 PM): (Right.)
Umbrafer (10:18:36 PM): (Yeah, taking stuf tends to be a trace)
Umbrafer (10:18:38 PM): *stuff
CirclMastr (10:19:11 PM): (I wish I had tool lasers. I'd be able to do something.)
Umbrafer (10:19:32 PM): (There's breaking stuff and then there's breaking stuff)
Thematrian1 (10:19:34 PM): So we've got the one machine in here, nothing else of note?
MilesMk1 (10:19:35 PM): Ok, that being said...1.Examine the electrical closet for anything I might find convenient to cut/disable to make it easier for us to get out once we're done. 2. Examine the feasability of getting at the Box With Five Locks.
MilesMk1 (10:19:51 PM): Also electrical closet, and a BWFL
Umbrafer (10:20:27 PM): The machine, a UPS that is, interestingly, /not/ discharging, and the stuff just mentioned.
MilesMk1 (10:20:28 PM): I factor the fact I *do* have a tool laser into it.
Umbrafer (10:20:51 PM): Mmk. Well, the electrical closet is… totally unlabeled.
Umbrafer (10:21:01 PM): It feels just like home.
MilesMk1 (10:21:14 PM): (I think I just ended up paying for the cyberware to get the tool laser)
Umbrafer (10:21:23 PM): The BWFL, on the other hand.
CirclMastr (10:21:30 PM): (I just want tool lasers in my spiders)
Umbrafer (10:21:44 PM): (Get an ant with a pistol.)
MilesMk1 (10:21:50 PM): (I mean, the cyberware cost, didn't get it installed.)
CirclMastr (10:22:01 PM): (I can't even fathom an ant with a pistol.)
CirclMastr (10:22:13 PM): (And the Atom Ant jokes would be dreadful)
Umbrafer (10:22:24 PM): The material looks pretty rugged—it looks like it was designed to withstand some serious abuse.
Umbrafer (10:22:35 PM): Give me Electronics.
MilesMk1 (10:22:42 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 3 3 3 5 3 1 3
MilesMk1 (10:22:47 PM): 6
MilesMk1 (10:22:56 PM): And lots of 4s.
CirclMastr (10:22:58 PM): (I could also use a sniper rifle on a blimp, but the CF cost is ridiculous.)
Umbrafer (10:23:29 PM): The locks themselves are as follows:
Umbrafer (10:23:46 PM): What looks like a physical key-slot
Umbrafer (10:23:50 PM): A cardreader
Umbrafer (10:24:12 PM): A passcode-entry system
Umbrafer (10:24:29 PM): A retinal scanner
CirclMastr (10:24:44 PM): (Just shoot through the door)
Umbrafer (10:24:49 PM): And some kind of wide slot in the wall.
Thematrian1 (10:24:50 PM): yeah, I want what's in that box
Umbrafer (10:25:03 PM): Several of these appear to be built into the actual wall.
CirclMastr (10:25:06 PM): (Or conjure a fire elemental to rape what's on the other side with Engulf)
Umbrafer (10:25:09 PM): Er
Umbrafer (10:25:13 PM): The actual box.
Thematrian1 (10:25:42 PM): (No no, I want it, I don't want it destroyed)
MilesMk1 (10:26:03 PM): How do I gauge my chances of actually getting this box open in... well, let's say the next 10 minutes?
MilesMk1 (10:26:26 PM): Or 30, if that's astronomically small?
Umbrafer (10:26:56 PM): Difficult to say. The odds seem pretty small any way you slice it—this appears to be Serious Business, as it were.
Umbrafer (10:27:06 PM): You've seen safes less well-protected than this.
Umbrafer (10:27:26 PM): (If anyone has Computers, roll it)
MilesMk1 (10:27:34 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 5 2 2 2
MilesMk1 (10:27:37 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (10:27:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:27:42 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 3 2 3 3
Thematrian1 (10:27:44 PM): ew
MilesMk1 (10:27:50 PM): 16
Thematrian1 (10:28:14 PM): 3
Umbrafer (10:28:19 PM): Gem has never seen anything like this. Glitch thinks it looks like some of the more off-the-wall security setups for sensitive servers, which means it'd have to have ventilation somewhere.
Umbrafer (10:28:42 PM): Digging through the wall to find that might be the easiest way
Umbrafer (10:28:57 PM): On the other hand, things this heavy are usually designed to trigger extra locks if someone tries something fancy.
MilesMk1 (10:29:27 PM): #You know, this might actually be a security system for a really high-end server...#
MilesMk1 (10:29:40 PM): #Heh... So much for their charmingly retro image...#
CirclMastr (10:29:50 PM): #Power will be back any second now, folks.#
Thematrian1 (10:30:10 PM): sigh. I jack into the server
MilesMk1 (10:30:15 PM): BTW, I was assuming that Gem was getting ready to get at the... yeah.
MilesMk1 (10:30:30 PM): Ok, while Gem's doing that, I'm going to take a stab at the "box".
Umbrafer (10:30:48 PM): *Kchkt*
MilesMk1 (10:30:55 PM): ???
Umbrafer (10:31:17 PM): Sound of jacking in.
MilesMk1 (10:31:59 PM): Ah. I thought for a moment it was the sound of security locks engaging.
MilesMk1 (10:32:28 PM): Well, just to get it out of the way, I'll take my shot at the mechanical lock, since if I can't get that, there's not point in trying the others:
MilesMk1 (10:32:36 PM): *chips in lockpicking*
MilesMk1 (10:32:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 2 1 5 2 3 5 1
MilesMk1 (10:32:51 PM): Yeah, ok.
Umbrafer (10:33:08 PM): Something's weird here.
Umbrafer (10:33:21 PM): You feel some pins, but there's no give to this lock at all.
Umbrafer (10:33:29 PM): Something else must be holding it.
MilesMk1 (10:34:43 PM): #If I had a couple of hours... I don't think we'll be getting into this. Well, not unless I can find the ventilation...#
MilesMk1 (10:34:57 PM): *looks for the ventilation system*
MilesMk1 (10:35:22 PM): (BTW, I kind of have to run - is it ok, given that Gem has some decking to take care of, and so on?)
Umbrafer (10:35:43 PM): Peception. Sure, I'm probably going to call soon anyway.
MilesMk1 (10:35:52 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 2 2 1 1
MilesMk1 (10:36:00 PM): Ok, that takes care of the box.
Thematrian1 (10:36:32 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 3 3 1
Umbrafer (10:36:40 PM): There's some ventilation, but none that obviously connects to the box.
Thematrian1 (10:36:45 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 5 1
Thematrian1 (10:36:51 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (10:37:45 PM): There were manuals in the other room, right? I'll go see if anyone was careless enough to leave something dealing with the maintenance of this place lying around.
MilesMk1 (10:38:25 PM): (But perhaps I ought to get into that next week.)
Umbrafer (10:38:50 PM): "HoloLISP—the ultimate reference", "Basics of Counteroffensive Biofeedback", "Behavioural Reprogramming Made Easy"
Thematrian1 (10:39:11 PM): #Grab that last one#
MilesMk1 (10:39:32 PM): #Ok...#
CirclMastr (10:39:51 PM): #Make a copy of that last one for me, too.#
MilesMk1 (10:40:07 PM): #Sure.#
MilesMk1 (10:41:08 PM): Glitch will search around some more - look inside drawers, etc. - maybe something will turn up of use, maybe more interesting chips can be found - but I gotta run... See you guys Tuesday.
Umbrafer (10:41:27 PM): Good times. Sleep well.
MilesMk1 (10:41:29 PM): Oh, and Merry Chrismass, if appropriate. ;)
Umbrafer (10:41:39 PM): To you as well.
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

CirclMastr (10:41:51 PM): Merry Christmas... doh, too late

CirclMastr (10:58:57 PM): *cheers for decking*
Thematrian1 (10:59:42 PM): Hey, I just found our target.
Thematrian1 (10:59:46 PM): On a stalk of wheat, on less.

Umbrafer (11:02:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 1
Umbrafer (11:03:50 PM): You pluck the kernel of wheat off of the stalk and neatly place it in your pocket. It does not disturb you in the slightest that the kernel is still there.

CirclMastr (11:15:33 PM): How goes decking?
Thematrian1 (11:16:07 PM): Well, I was actually forgetting the "fill their system with horse porn" part of the op
Thematrian1 (11:16:14 PM): but that's going well
CirclMastr (11:16:35 PM): Fun.
Thematrian1 (11:16:46 PM): I agree. Are the lights back on yet?
CirclMastr (11:16:49 PM): Where did Gem get the horse porn in the first place>
CirclMastr (11:16:52 PM): *?
CirclMastr (11:16:59 PM): Uh, that's up to the GM.
Thematrian1 (11:17:01 PM): They supplied it.
Thematrian1 (11:17:06 PM): And it most likely isn't horse porn.
CirclMastr (11:17:15 PM): Suuuure.
CirclMastr (11:17:19 PM): You know elves, after all.
CirclMastr (11:17:22 PM): Nature freaks.
Umbrafer (11:17:24 PM): There are no lights on in the building. If Hound is going to check outside…
CirclMastr (11:17:33 PM): He will.

Umbrafer (11:21:15 PM): And that's a wrap.
CirclMastr (11:21:34 PM): Well, I sure did a lot...
Umbrafer (11:21:56 PM): Don't worry, the getaway is coming :D
CirclMastr (11:23:03 PM): If only I'd put a Remote Control Interface in the mech!
Thematrian1 (11:23:14 PM): wait, you didn't?
Thematrian1 (11:23:17 PM): Why not?
CirclMastr (11:23:22 PM): It's supposed to be powered armor.
Thematrian1 (11:23:30 PM): oh
CirclMastr (11:23:34 PM): More Robocop and less ED-209.
Thematrian1 (11:23:47 PM): I guess that's a good reason, but teleoperable powered armor seems fun and exciting
Umbrafer (11:23:53 PM): Our games need more cyberzombie.
Thematrian1 (11:24:06 PM): then again, Gem's not precisely the queen of combat, so what does she know?
CirclMastr (11:24:11 PM): I could always make a cyberzombie PC after Hound dies.
Umbrafer (11:24:32 PM): I discovered that as long as you don't mind them having a lifespan measured in weeks, you can make truly awe-inspiring cyberzombies
Umbrafer (11:24:53 PM): Granted, a key ingredient is hardened mil-grade armor
CirclMastr (11:25:02 PM): I still think you can use geneware and P-fix chips to circumvent a lot of cyberzombie issues.
Umbrafer (11:25:04 PM): But you can pump enough Quickness into them to have them wear it without penalties
Thematrian1 (11:25:58 PM): I still prefer the articulated arm.
CirclMastr (11:26:15 PM): Why not have 4 articulated arms and be Doc Oc?
Thematrian1 (11:26:25 PM): that's an excellent point
Umbrafer (11:26:28 PM): And it gets 5d6 Init, two passes of which occur earlier than normal
Thematrian1 (11:26:31 PM): that's my next character right there
Thematrian1 (11:26:38 PM): no more of this sneaky magical drek
CirclMastr (11:26:40 PM): Stole my character. :(
CirclMastr (11:26:49 PM): I bet Hound dies before Gem anyway.
Umbrafer (11:27:10 PM): If everyone starts making weird characters, I'm going to have you start fighting Batman. Just be warned.
Thematrian1 (11:27:11 PM): Err...he's a rigger. She's not.
CirclMastr (11:27:26 PM): (Because eventually I'll get bored and bust out the mech, and the UCAS military will take me down)
Thematrian1 (11:27:28 PM): Plus, she's kinda fragile at the best of times
Umbrafer (11:28:01 PM): (But yeah, Hound's a Rigger. Short of you deciding to scrap the character, Riggers are tough to kill.)
Umbrafer (11:28:09 PM): (My example notwithstanding.)
CirclMastr (11:28:25 PM): See above.
Thematrian1 (11:28:30 PM): (Your example is entirely withstanding)
Thematrian1 (11:28:42 PM): (I shot her, twice, and she's still up and at 'em)
Thematrian1 (11:28:49 PM): (20 boxes of damage)
CirclMastr (11:29:05 PM): How'd she stay up and at 'em?
CirclMastr (11:29:13 PM): (I assume you're talking about Alex)
Umbrafer (11:29:24 PM): (Prompt medical attention and a lucky roll by a mage with Heal)
Thematrian1 (11:29:27 PM): (Yeah. Blake got her heart restarted in time)
CirclMastr (11:29:36 PM): Fun
Thematrian1 (11:29:44 PM): and then, yeah, the mage dialed her down a few boxes
Umbrafer (11:29:48 PM): (Also a mage with whatever the anti-pain spell was)
Thematrian1 (11:29:55 PM): Resist Pain, yeah
CirclMastr (11:30:12 PM): I need to get me some useful drones.
Umbrafer (11:30:17 PM): (Yeah. I wasn't dying at that point, but I didn't have much I could do at D Physical, even stable D Physical)
CirclMastr (11:30:28 PM): My roto-drone is entirely nothing. It has no tools, no weapons, nothing.
CirclMastr (11:30:47 PM): Who talked me into getting that drone?
Umbrafer (11:30:49 PM): Yeah, it's a neat drone to build off of, but stock it's kinda tabula rasa.
Umbrafer (11:30:57 PM): I doubt I did
Umbrafer (11:31:03 PM): I'm a Strato man all the way
CirclMastr (11:31:12 PM): Can I swap in a strato?
Thematrian1 (11:31:16 PM): Definitely wasn't me.
Thematrian1 (11:31:25 PM): I don't see myself recommending an unarmed drone.
CirclMastr (11:31:39 PM): I seem to recall someone saying I needed a flying drone that could lift people.
Thematrian1 (11:31:53 PM): you have a drone that can lift people?
Umbrafer (11:32:02 PM): I probably would have recommended it if you said you needed one
Umbrafer (11:32:11 PM): IIRC it has a pretty high Load capacity
Thematrian1 (11:32:28 PM): use it to drop grenades and burning thermite
CirclMastr (11:32:43 PM): Well, someone could hold onto it
Thematrian1 (11:32:52 PM): could you give it an arm?
CirclMastr (11:32:57 PM): If I had money
Thematrian1 (11:33:03 PM): we're about to have money
CirclMastr (11:33:07 PM): Good.
CirclMastr (11:33:16 PM): But now I must go decorate the Christmas tree.
Umbrafer (11:33:20 PM): And light reading
CirclMastr (11:33:27 PM): So fare thee well all.
Thematrian1 (11:33:33 PM): ok, have fun
