any exit's from the trunk other then the one I used to enter?
Maybe it won't follow me if I jump to the next node.

Scanning it, shows that it is a rudimentary AI also known as a Semi-autonomous Knowbot.  It's sort of like an agent or an advanced interface.  Rating would be 5.  The glasses are an analyze program, and the cigarette is a Medic program.

[Sentinemodo]

How do you feel about this options:

1. issue command - I am not yet classified as intruder. I have hacked myself an user account, the analyze program made it past the stealth so it knows I am here, but MAYBE not yet verified the valid accounts list. (I don't know the nature of exploit I used, so I could have logged on guest user, or something like that). either way if there is no alert yet, I'd like to issue him a command - send me the list of last 100 user logons. This should -> a) override his current action to check me while browsing for data giving me one more IP to act, b) give me the list of valid IDs, that I could use for spoofing.

2. encrypt my icon - confusing it -> giving me more time to act

3. browse through the processes for the security rating ID -> allowing me to spoof a turn off alert command.

Well, if it issues an active alert against you, then all of your account privileges are immediately revoked.  Don't forget that anything you do can be interrupted by a character with a higher initiative.

[Sentinemodo]

Yeah I know.

Ponder ... ponder ... ponder...

I can't hit it much whatever his medic program is rated for it will start the alert next IP I try to hit it - with rating 3 attack, on a good hit, I'll give it 5 boxes of damage, to little ...

Ponder ... ponder ... ponder ...

Still there is no direct threat yet. and maybe it won't raise the alert.

I'll go for browse in my action, to see what can get with user priviledges.
8d6.hits(5)=1 not much it seems

[Kontact]

Yeah, you should need a couple of hits to find basic info. 

[Sentinemodo]

Hmm, it didn't raise the alert, so maybe it does not consider me a threat.

I'll query the agent directly for the options it has available for me. Want me to roll or are they displayed?

[Kontact]

It's more of an AI than an Agent.  All of the old AIs that created first the otaku and later technomancers were SKs which surpassed their limitations.

Deus, Magera, Mirage, all of them were SKs before they became AIs.  Hector is not an Agent, but an network administrator.

Great, even the IC has gone mad in this place lol

Are we assuming it's crazy because it is an AI or because it is here?  Not that I am argueing the point, just attempting clarification 

[Sentinemodo]

Do you guys have anything you would ask an AI?
I think about piles of nuyen in hardcash, but we'll see.

It's been watching everything here, must know what locations are best guarded and therefor most likely to hold things of value to us.
Also, it's been watching Holland, if it's got any knowledge and/or footage of him it at 'interesting times' it might be worth watching and maybe offer some way to deal with his situation.
Wouldn't footage of a insect hive taking over a building, building their nests etc be worth something?

[Kontact]

I think that Code got the trid footage of that from the recording stations directly above the set.  The AI would have security camera footage of the whole building though, up until those cameras were covered in nesting crud.

Devoted's just buying Assensing hits if that's okay. 1 hit is enough to get both his health and emotional status.
When those change to something that looks like trouble, he'll pull the jack out.

Good call.  With the VR overriding his muscular system and inducing paralysis, you wouldn't see any ill effects physically until brains were running out of his ears.
