Not interested, Digger is more than happy to let someone else do the talking, and he isn't real comfortable with the security of any tac-net with an AI running around.

Digger is doing his best to check out and verify the usability of the decenders, if they are in the same location, is there a possibility of rigging them together to support a heavier load?...like say a tree man?

[Kontact]

Digger can't remember seeing double or triple descenders on the few levels the group thoroughly explored, the lowest of which was the floor right after the main recording studio where the bugs had kept prisoners.

There is the possibility of linking one floor's descender setup with that of the floor immediately below it, as long as one is willing to crawl on the outside of the building to do so.

[Crossbow]

Yeah that is what I meant by same location, above and below each other on different floors.  How many floors does he have easy access to in these executive suites, three or four?  He will get to work checking them all for usability and weight limits.

Jack is searching for all nodes within range, including hidden ones...

Initiating hidden node scan (extended test, threshold 15+ [SR4A p230]):
1 Elect. Warfare + 1 PuSHeD + 4 Scan >>
6d6.hits(5)=1
6d6.hits(5)=2
6d6.hits(5)=4
6d6.hits(5)=0
6d6.hits(5)=2
6d6.hits(5)=1 << glitch
6d6.hits(5)=4
6d6.hits(5)=2
6d6.hits(5)=2
6d6.hits(5)=2)
= 18 hits in about 30 seconds...

I'm not sure if I should interpret that as "Digger isn't comfortable with" or as "Digger isn't participating in" the tac-net?

Jack is also scanning nodes because he's interested in finding out if Holland is currently reachable via commlink...

Edit: looks like he glitched at one point there.

[Crossbow]

Participating on the assumption that it compromised

[Crossbow]

Kontact, do you need any rolls from me on the rigging I am working on, or verifying that the equipment will be usable for what I need to do?

[Kontact]

So, you remember how the building has that divot corkscrewing up the length of the building?  It changes the position of the divot from one cardinal direction to another every 25 floors.  Well, that's where the descenders are located on each floor.  So, one isn't directly below the next, but there's always one down and to the left of the last.  Do remember though that the outside of the building has electrical defenses.

[Xzylvador]

Did we know?

Any word from Inca by the way?

[Kontact]

Inca has been on and off.  Probably kinda busy.

Code never bothered to watch the video of what happened in the set.  He just fixed up the machine it was on and downloaded it.

[Junkrig]

Unsure if we're all synchronized in time now or not... if not, Jack will be poking his head into any room that's not already been explored and mapped on his orientation system via the tacnet, making notes on any items of interest along the way. If we're synchronized now, Jack will still be doing that, only less thoroughly.

[inca1980]

Yeah, i'm here guys   I been busy but mainly I just been watching the conversation.  Once the shit is all packed up i'm just waiting for the game plan cuz he already put in his two cents.  I'll post something in the morning.

[Xzylvador]

K then, we wait for Jack to get to us, then we try going down from the outside?

Mr. A.I. will probably want a solution for Holland, and wants us to take out more (all) stuff too.

[Xzylvador]

Please don't abandon us, kitten will be sad

[Junkrig]

If nothing else happens today I'll post up Jack meeting with the team and then hopefully we can go from there? Unless I hear otherwise I'll be assuming Jack's hidden node search earlier revealed nothing but a bunch of dead air.  Outside works for me, but Jack will want to make sure Gardener isn't left behind... the tree-man should hopefully be able to roll off some of that stun damage soon, which should make getting him out of here way easier.

[Kontact]

Well, Gardner should be conscious, just don't expect him to go skipping down the road any time soon.  He has to keep his cracked bark wound wound tight.  No hidden nodes showing up.  Holland's node isn't hidden though, it's public and you'd be able to message it.
