hacking a host is a pretty big undertaking, especially something as well secured as an international port.
its definitely an option, but its super high risk. i'll see what happens with the data searches first before committing to that :-)

@GM, what time is it in-game?

@team, we need to think about whether we're staying over near the port tonight or whether we're heading home + meeting up again tomorrow

[Reminder]

Johnson call finished around 6:30pm, and you haven't done a whole lot since, so let's say 7. It is well onto twilight outside. The sun has set, and the last of its afterglow has almost left the sky entirely.

[Reminder]

CS can you clarify what you are intending with the foreign relations part of the search? I think you are looking for the stances in regards to outsiders, but the way I may be interpreting "foreign" and the way you intended it may be different.

[Csjarrat]

just how they deal with "outsiders". couldnt think of a better way to frame it really.

[Reminder]

Yeah I'm trying to narrow it down some. As presently defined, that second search would result in an absolutely massive amount of data, especially with culture thrown in. I'll pick out the more relevant info........ Unless you really want a detailed accounting on how their circumcision ritual differs from that of their nearest neighbors 

[Reminder]

Your first search is completed; the second one will take slightly longer in terms of game time so I will turn that one out in a bit.

Hopefully that is a fun list to chew over.

Knowledge Checks to try to flesh out Ultra's hits:

James Alzmer: Knowledge Check: Logic (2) + Parabotany (1) (3d6.hits(5)=0)
Achiles Alzmer: Knowledge Check: Intuition (4) + Poachers (2) (6d6.hits(5)=2) (May not be applicable)
Mary Alzmer: Knowledge Check: Logic (2) + Parazoology (2) (4d6.hits(5)=1)

Not much fleshing out on Mlinzi's part apparently.

I wouldn't be opposed to finding a coffin hotel around here. I'd like to check out the docks before our meet to get a lay of the land. I would assume there would also be a shopping area on the island to arrange for provisions if needed. Seems like the best idea would be to hang out on the Island until the meet and do our legwork/make arrangements from here. Less security checkpoints we have to transit the better.

Ditto, lets find somewhere to crash later then

Their advanced, some would say cutting edge, research is beyond what you know off hand.

Reminder, would it be reasonable for my Customs official to be able to check that list of Alzmers against recent (say last calendar year) entry or exit to Kenya?

CS, I'm not sure exactly what you are image searching.

"Agents also have the Computer, Hacking, and Cybercombat
skills at a rating equal to their own. An agent
runs as a program and can use programs running on
the same device as them."

the browse software that is running in the virtual machine should be available to the agent so should take 1/2 time just like ultra's if that is what the delay is from?

searching for articles, blogs etc that match up to the screenshot i took of the johnson we spoke to. was hoping it would turn up in some E-paper on the front page linked to some corporate sponsored story lol.

You could try him, but getting him to pull that many passenger manifests will take a bit of luck/persuading.

Also,it isn't a guarantee that he would find anything helpful.

IC - Well, based on the thresholds, some of the information is less available so it's not going to run in a minute
OOC - I am working and can't quite find the time to put together another post with that much info until I get home probably, ergo its taking a little longer
