Yeah, this is going to take me a few minutes :P
Data Search (Computer 6 Logic 6 = 12): 12d6t5 1
Data Search (Computer 6 Logic 6 - Try Again 1 = 11): 11d6t5 4
There we go.  Two minutes?
Then I'll HotF the next object that makes sense (direct connect through the Host), either the swipe card door lock or the camera if I need to go down that hall:
HotF TFL device (Log 6 + Hack 6 = 12): 12d6t5 2
Wow, I'm rolling *really* poorly :(  Getting caught is *not* an option, so I guess I'll use my last edge here :(  Hopefully it's on the lock thats getting me out of the building:
Edging for hotf (10 misses): 10d6t5 4
Needed that roll first time.  6 hits reduced to sleaze limit of 5.
Resistance roll for the lock:
6d6.hits(5)=3
2 net hits to you, granting a further MARK.

that's 2 sleaze actions + 2 mins time added to OS and you're free to act

I'm guessing since you gave me the mark on the lock that the map tells me that that path is best for me.  I'll also run Static Veil to keep my OS from going up over time:
Static Veil level 2 (Res 6 + Software 6 = 12): 12d6t5 4
Soak 2 Fade (Will 5 + Res 6 = 11): 11d6t5 4
2 questions on the Lock:
Hrm.. I know the dr=3 and it's fw=3
Last Matrix action
What Marks are on this device

Also, via DNI is unlock a free or simple command, and did I waste an effort getting a mark on the device when I could have just spoofed a command from the Host?

To save some back and forth, I'm going to give you another HotF (ignore it if I only need a free action) along with the control device rolls:
HotF TFL device (Log 6 + Hack 6 = 12): 12d6t5 4
Control Device Unlock Door (Int 5 + EW 6 = 11): 11d6t5 4

Does the map show were the cameras are in the route I want to take?  I'll IC my side of getting into the host and marking the lock.  I left going through the door timing a little vague.  Does Mams have any reason to think there are people on the other side of this door?  Does he see icons in the host moving in the vicinity?  I know I'll need two marks and a trace icon action to know precisely where they are in the meat, but I'd think he could get the impression of activity given his access to the host.  If not, I'll have to go with trying to access cameras :P

@lumen:
Riposte
RIPOSTE, -7 INI (16d6.hits(5)=3)
edge to re-roll;
RIPOSTE, -7 INI edge (13d6.hits(5)=3)
6 hits on riposte, beats your attack with 2 net hits.
bypassing damage rolls as weapons are non lethal. Tutor scores a point.

2 questions on the Lock:
Hrm.. I know the dr=3 and it's fw=3
Last Matrix action Control device, unlock
What Marks are on this device Hosts mark, your mark, 20-25 employee marks

Also, via DNI is unlock a free or simple command, and did I waste an effort getting a mark on the device when I could have just spoofed a command from the Host?simple action would do it, as would a spoof action

To save some back and forth, I'm going to give you another HotF (ignore it if I only need a free action) along with the control device rolls:
HotF TFL device (Log 6 + Hack 6 = 12): 12d6t5 4
Control Device Unlock Door (Int 5 + EW 6 = 11): 11d6t5 4the lock yields and the door opens

Does the map show were the cameras are in the route I want to take? each doorway from here on it is covered by a low rating camera (DR1), purely there to track employee motions I'll IC my side of getting into the host and marking the lock.  I left going through the door timing a little vague.  Does Mams have any reason to think there are people on the other side of this door? can't hear anything obvious due to crowd noise, icons moving about way down corridor out of sight, corresponds roughly to the two main rooms identified on the map. most employees you'd imagine would be at their stations of work right now Does he see icons in the host moving in the vicinity?  I know I'll need two marks and a trace icon action to know precisely where they are in the meat, but I'd think he could get the impression of activity given his access to the host. yep, most of the icons you see roughly correspond to where you think they should be, obviously not with any level of certainty. common sense says that in crisis mode, people get stuck in at their workstations If not, I'll have to go with trying to access cameras :P

I'm still not clear on what Taylor thinks is on the other side of this door.  Nor on what a reasonable plan of action is.  Does Taylor believe he will be able to get to an exit relatively unnoticed by going through this door?

@CS:  I didn't find anything specific about it in the rules so I guess it's up to you.  Is it possible to perform an interrupt action on an interrupt action?  Knives is expecting this guy to riposte again, would it be possible to use my last 5 initiative to parry his riposte?

hoo boy, think I better consult the rulebook! lol
I wouldn't have thought you could (lest you end up in a "i'm parrying the parry that he parried after I parried his parry"), but this being shadowrun, I better check lol

The map shows that there is a series of corridors, running away from you towards two fire exits that head up through the sewerage to street level.
you know it is a feasible escape option, but there is a risk that someone in one of the ops rooms will see you through a doorway or bump into you as they come out of the gents.
You know if you get busted you'd be in deep shit, but likewise your mum is in a real flap about the protest down the road and is getting really distraught which isn't good for her health.
If you're sneaky enough or fast enough, you should be able to do it, and hell, security is already spread well past breaking point at the moment

No worries.  It does open up some weird possibilities that are probably left alone.

Okay, so some risk, but not like I'm walking into the room they are actively working in :)

How many camera's are there?  He's going to steal the feed from each one to watch motion at key points and also blur his image as he goes past.  His garb is distinctive so he'll want to obscure it.

As soon as he is clear he'll duck into the hallway.

shortest but riskiest route takes you past the main control room, 3 doors, 3 cameras. less risky route takes you via the signals room but has four doors, four cameras.
more work but less footfall.
Will leave it to you to IC your choice mate

IC up.  If he makes it through un-noticed, as soon as he's clear he'll reboot.  His OS is probably getting close to 20 or so.  He'll also drop his static veil at the same time (assuming that actually happens with the reboot, but I'm not sure).
