Any chance the wine cellar is in here?  Can I make a search?

It doesn't seem like there would be room on this floor based on the layout of the offices.

It's likely on one of the floors above this, if you want to brave the active security.

The sub-processor node connects to each of the terminals on this floor, and to the primary trunk.

I'll fire up as many browse quesries as there are terminal nodes, that will be running on admin priviledges.
I want each and every piece of a data copied and brought to me.I'll make a detailed analysis later.
I am not yet going into the primary trunk node.

I'd like to know if there were any software constructs, other than Firewall, Analyze, IC, and data files. If the browse failed for nonsufficient priviledges, or if there were any copy protected data.

Operationally, it will probably look like subscribing into each node, disabling IC, browsing - copying, identifying anything interesting, falling back to the floor subprocessor in case of any difficulties. I'll go with buying hits (14 dices -> 3 hits on stealth, spoof, browse, matrix perception). I don't expect any real treasures here, merely scouting the floor.

If possible I'd like to identify floor plan, defenses layout (if any left), drones like the ones we destroyed or other.

Booked a Last-Minute in an attempt to see some sunshine and blue sky for the first time this summer.
Not sure I'll have internet from this Sunday 'til Friday the 2nd.

Consider the floor's systems sweeped up.  There's only personal information on any of the systems though, no utility info about the building itself.  Most of the info seems to be promotional in nature.  Digital Rolodex's full of numbers that are not likely current or useful.

[Sentinemodo]

All right.

I'd like to download all the data first - I guess downloading it to the commlink isn't possible, unless I am able to make a wifi bridge somehow. - so I'd like to download it the harddrive of the terminal I am jacking at.

I'm going to take a peek on the main trunk node.
I am mostly interested in checking out if the node isn't toxic. then what kind of IC is there.

Matrix perception roll - 14d6.hits(5)=3

after that - I'm going in.

[Kontact]

The main trunk is a different beast from even the executive terminals.  It's a complex cluster of machines spanning several floors.  It's not Ultraviolet or anything, but for 2050, it's pretty out there.  System 7 Firewall 3 Analyze 5.

[Sentinemodo]

Awesome

Can I pickup that Analyze program that was used by the node (only if its rating is higher than my 3). Are there any other programs available that I could use?

Whatever the answers, I'm going in, there is nothing else I could do. I am spoofing myself with an admin ID I got, the stealth program is on, for whatever it is worth.

[Kontact]

This part of the system has an actual firewall that you'll have to hack through.  If you want to hack in with an admin account, you'll need to make 9 hits before it busts your firewall.

This whole system was custom built, proprietary hardware and software, which is why it held up so well to the ravages of technological obsolescence.  Your pilfered access ID doesn't seem to be working.

[Sentinemodo]

I need to take a look at first.

It's much to easy for him to beat my rating three stealth with that analyze program. And without any better ID I can't even dream of crashing it on the system that much customised

I'll go for a simple user first to browse around. I guess I need to beat 3 hits of his firewall.

Exploit(3) + hacking(3) + fullVR(2) -> 8d6.hits(5)=2 -> that's BAD.

I can breakthrough on the next pass, but he will score four hits just on buying hits in the same turn even if it had't raise an alert by now.

I guess I could withdraw, change my ID, disguise to look like someone else, and try again but that's not my style

CHARGE !!!

whatever the IC is there, I want to fry it down. NOW

initiative -> Response(3) + Intuition(4) + 1 -> 8d6.hits(5)=2 total 10
attack -> Cybercombat(3) + Attack(3) + fullVR(2) -> 8d6.hits(5)=3

[Kontact]

You did refresh your edge earlier, if you want to do a reroll on that hack attempt.

I'm unsure what you're attacking right now.  The IC on the sub-processor node is deactivated and you're not yet into the central trunk.

anyway, first roll to detect. Analyze 5 +3 Firewall = 8d6.hits(5) → [5,1,1,2,4,1,3,3] = (1)

[Sentinemodo]

Edge - reroll misses 6d6.hits(5)=1

And I got the missing one.
Slipping inside on the user account.

[Kontact]

Alright, roll hacking + stealth.

[Sentinemodo]

Hacking (3) + Stealth(3) + VR(2) -> 8d6.hits(5)=1

[Kontact]

Analyze 5 + 5 skill = 10d6.hits(5) → [2,5,6,2,2,3,5,6,2,4] = (4)

Looks like you've been made.

[Sentinemodo]

Yep, I thought so. 

what is it this construct - either agent or AI to me, but what are it's stats?
Matrix perception 8d6.hits(5)=3

Wondering if it's viable to fight...
if its errorless after 20 years, it had to have some self repair/evolution algorithm -> after 20 years could have transformed into AI (if it hasn't been from the begining, I am not that good in matrix history to put their arrival on the timeline)

if it's AI, than it might want something - wifi connection to unleash itself from this tower or plain infromation (new programs to boost it's firewall eg.)
