Is it 20.00 for me yet?  I can totally see Taylor getting lost in thought and missing dinner, just want to make sure before I run off the rails

[Csjarrat]

lol, thats up to you, don't think you've grabbed dinner yet so feel free to IC stuff with mum and your mode of transport to kings cross

[Zweiblumen]

Okay, cool.  Wasn't sure if the buzz was the 8pm reminder or just getting the pickup code   IC coming up.

So, I've no idea where Taylor and Judy physically live.   It would be closeish to where the Academy is given the Stick is the local watering hole for the cadets and constables.  So, I don't know how long it would take him to take the Tube down to Kings Cross, pick up the dead drop, and then get back to the Stick.  Picking a 'burb at more or less random I'm thinking either Edgware or Richmond.  Does that work?  I figure given the dependent quality I should probably figure this out more as I'm going to need to figure out how to get too and from there more and more often

FWIW this is the lifestyle selection from Run Faster (page 227) that I was basing his house on:

TYPICAL MIDDLE CLASS
SUBURBAN HOME
White picket fence. Two-car-garage. All the electronic conveniences of modern life. This was many people’s definition of the American Dream in the twentieth cen- tury, and though the United States has fragmented, the dream remains for many people. And it is attainable, as long as you sell yourself, body and soul, to a megacorp. If you are a shadowrunner, of course, you just have to as- sume that guise for as long as you can afford it. Or until you need a change.

getting slammed at work guys, full posts up over the weekend i promise!

[Zweiblumen]

Life happens, thanks for the update!

[Lumen]

Life happens, thanks for the update!

What he said .  Plus I'm having a work slamming myself.  I know you're pain.  I have to say I like the way the new chapter is going so far.

I thought I would drop the request IC for the ally spirit formula it gives me a way to get the little guy summoned, unless you figure it has already been done before this meeting.

Second I want to let you know from Jan 20 to Jan 26 I'll be on vacation with my family and not sure if I will be able to post, thought I best give you a heads up so you don't think someone geeked me.

[Zweiblumen]

Have fun on vacation

Matrix Perception on the two datachips (Int 5 + Comp 6 + MP spec 2 + techno 2 + vr 2 =17): 2#17d6t5 3 6 (limit 5)

That's pretty crazy only getting 3 hits on 17 dice :\  Thinking about it, I probably need some more rolls.  How many total icons am I looking at?  I'm gonna throw 3 more rolls, to cover up to 5, but I'm assuming there's only the 2.
Matrix Perception on the two datachips (Int 5 + Comp 6 + MP spec 2 + techno 2 + vr 2 =17): 3#17d6t5 8 7 5 (limit 5)

Those rolls are much better.
Main thing I'm looking for are presence of data bombs, rating of encryptions and most recent edit date of the files.  For the ones that I've more hits than 3, looking for any marks not the owner present.

[Lumen]

Sorry guys had a busy weekend then a fucking miserable day at work.  I'll get a post up tonight.

[Csjarrat]

Data bombs are rating 5, encryption r6 but you detect a glimmer of resonance activity on all tests that scored 4 or more {leading you to suspect that all of the files are likely to have some resonance trace or interaction on them at some point.}

@ Lumen, Number 10 is number 10 downing street, the prime minister's residence. You know the whole area is very swanky, Harley street is the home of private medicine and all the Trid stars come down there for their cosmetic surgery, most of the landowners are Russian Oligarchs, Saudi Princes and those very wealthy natives who have a stake in industry, corps or government.
You know you'll need to fit in and security will be tight round there.

The chip contains the list of his chosen girls at Rosie Lee's, an upmarket brothel {not that they'd call it that} over in the West End's theatre district.
Johnny was right when he said he liked it "varied" he'd apparently done everything from heavily augmented baselines, though to transgenders, trolls, elves, orks. Every colour, every shade.
The data must have cost Mick a fucking fortune to get hold of, either in favours or cash; though you know it was pretty worthless as blackmail material. It is just a basic spreadsheet that anyone could have knocked up on their commlink.

I'm going to do another MP on each file to ID the Matrix Signature on each.
Matrix Perception to find Matrix Signature (Int 5 + Comp 6 + Sepc 2 + TM 2 + VR 2 = 17): 7#17d6t5 5 7 5 4 3 6 8 (Limit 5)
Mostly just looking to see if there are multiple signatures, if all of the ones I find ar the same, I'm not going to worry overly much about missing one.

Next its time to try the first bomb.  Sprites can't help with this, so it's all me   Let's do this one at a time.
First chip big file data bomb:
Disarm Data Bomb (Int 5 + Software 6 + VR 2 = 13): 13d6t5 3 (limit 5)
This being pretty fraggin' important and that won't, on average, score any net hits, here's a point of edge to re-roll misses
Edge to re-roll misses (10): 10d6t5 5
ffs, needed that the first time 8 total hits, limit is 5.  Here's hoping the bomb doesn't roll nearly as well as I did on that second roll.

I'll IC this first part up.

[Csjarrat]

cool, resonance sigs are faded but two are recognisable. Given the data and that they are intercepts, you suspect this results from a two way conversation with each TM/sprite weaving encryption into the messages.

If you want to decode the encryption, i'll need you to roll RES + electronic warfare for me (we're off the rulebook and into GM territory here now lol)
