cool, will do another fresh scan then when my deck reboots.

Provided you get your 1 hit to respot it, you will still be at -4 to id it.

Yeah, she could just stick her head out the window as well though.

Sorry, I figured as an off road truck that it probably had a sliding back glass on it or something similar.

I prefer the image of you half hanging out the window. Besides, nothing says an astral tracker has to be behind you

[JackVII]

...I'm about to whistle up a spirit since its natural form is an astral projection. I'd rather keep most of my hoop in the truck if we start getting shot at.

[Reminder]

It's fine for now, but if you are going to have to be more specific when taking an active search bonus from here on out. Looking for what the icon is physically linked to when you don't know what it is, is too vague.

Let me know if I need to roll intiiative.

i'm just looking for the device so i can sling a shot at it. dont think hacking or spoofing is gonna work at this point so not fussed for the specifics

Sorry, that was in response to Ren's perception check in the IC thread

[Reminder]

CS:

I'm not sure slaving your deck to the commlink works to perma your firewall, since when you enter the matrix it is as a persona, not as a device icon of a deck.

Also, you are attempting to use matrix perception on the icon for the third time so you are at -4 dice (-2 X 2 for second retry).
The roll you made will let you know that there is still one hidden icon out there however.

[Reminder]

As long as you are just looking for things, you are fine. If you want to take some type of hostile action, though, then we might have to reroll init.

Also, "anyone following us" is a little vague for a spirit - just as fair warning before you tell it what you want.

[Csjarrat]

agh. how is it this hard to find a hidden device?! lol
I've read hundreds upon hundreds of flame posts about the loss of skinlink and running silent and i cant find the fucker haha

Quick question: Its logic and intuition are both 4, that isn't high enough to get the drift of what I would be asking?

The problem lies in spirits understanding of the world. Their native planes of existence are quite a bit different. What a spirit interprets "anyone" to mean is really open to a lot of interpretation.
If worded as report on "anyone following us", it would likely quickly report that the 3 gentlemen in the car behind you were following you.

If what you are concerned about is projecting humanoids or trailing spirits in the astral plane, ask it to monitor for those things within X distance of you for example. Or awakened beings (although you would have to exclude your adept teammate).

Spirits generally won't follow overly complex orders very well, but the better you define what you want it to do, the more likely you are to be pleased with the outcome.

If it makes you feel better (it won't) you nearly beat the opposed roll both times 

[Csjarrat]

so how long do you have to wait before the retry penalty resets?

[Reminder]

For something like this, to reset it would imply coming back with a renewed (and different) mindset that would imply a changed approach. It might be too short a time frame, but let's say eight hours. You can still try with 4 dice though as well, unless you are really worried about a major glitch or something.

Third times the charm.
