Quick question about the FAB: Shouldn't a Sterilize spell on a sustaining focus protect Devoted? Or allow him to refill with sterilized air?

[Kontact]

Well, if you've got a closed off area, like, say a wine cellar/vault and the sterilize spell, you should be able to create a pocket of air that you're sure is clean.  Sterilize is an instant anyway.  The elf, Holland, has a unique spell he created to deal with his OCD germaphobia.

Here is a map


The black scribbles are from the damage of the explosion.  In the back office there, you found the man who had committed suicide and used his terminal.  (If you are hoping to find a suicide in each room as a means to collect security badges, I think you might need a new plan.)

The map somehow disappeared - I saw it on the morning on the phone, but now I cannot see it.

mystery solved - firewall at work blocked tinyurls.

Kontact I'd like to intercept transmission and trace it - possible?

[Kontact]

I'll see about finding an obscure image hosting site that might be able to bypass your job's firewall controls.

The secretary drone is linked by a cable to a point in the wall.  The bad news is that it won't be accessible with wireless, but the good news is that it and the other secretary bots can not actually leave the offices and chase you into the halls.

Finding a signal from the satellite dishes doesn't seem to be working at the moment.  The answer to that is that the connection is not kept on all the time, but is instead periodic.  Maybe it can only communicate with certain satellites that are not always overhead, or maybe the power strain would be too much for the old dying building, but no unidentified signals are coming from the tower.

Hey Kontact, is there a social skill speciality for trying to calm a situation down?  I think I am gonna have to take it.

[Kontact]

Leadership.

[Sentinemodo]

I'm really bad at making friends

Sorry guys, but Code, is a little hot under the collar and he still can't take it good that the AI tricked him during the initial conversation.

[Crossbow]

no worries dude, I figure the team is gonna get wiped anyway.

Hey Mondo:

That Banana-brain saved your ass during bugs shootout few floors below. That BananaIbrain is your technical guru. And this Banana-brain is telling you that all the trust you're putting on that thing is misplaced.

Is this texted or spoken?  Or OOC?  There was no text coloration or quotes so I dunno if I should have Digger reply or not.

[Sentinemodo]

spoken, i've been typing from mobile

I'll color it as soon as I get to computer

[Kontact]

Chicago is a very dangerous place, but you're not necessarily going to get wiped.  There's still emergency descenders, wire and harness systems for quick fire exits, installed on each floor.  The ride down may have it's own difficulties with still hostile security, but it's not a death sentence.  Burning edge is still always an option.

By the way, even an AI can take social skills.  Refusing to take his "lie detector" test is an admission of guilt.  Digger and Machete being uncouth couldn't even attempt a convincing lie, so I brushed past them.

[Kontact]

Initiative.  AI goes on 13d6.hits(5) → [4,5,3,5,3,5,3,1,1,4,6,6,6] = (6) 19.

Fires using complex action for Remote operation. 15d6.hits(5) → [3,6,2,4,5,1,4,3,6,4,2,2,1,4,3] = (3)  3 hits, is dodge-able.

[Crossbow]

Really?  That was some kool speechify role-playing we had there, we are just going to retcon all that?

[Sentinemodo]

if I have the edge - and I do hope I got a refresh some time ago, but I must admit I lost count, and I have only one (a side thought - if I have enough Karma I'd like to upgrade my Edge by one point)

Initiative - burning edge to go first. (I kinda expected him to start shooting).

free action - got an AR subscription in the drone, so flip into VR (free), jump in (that should be automatic, since the simple is usually spend on logon), move to the side (there is Digger between drone and robot, if it is enough to bypass him without running, do so, otherwise kick-in running speed) and shoot long narrow burst, would be going for damage (only if running speed isn't necessary). I assume, that all the aiming bonus I got was lost when Digger step into the LOF. If the running speed isn't necessary, I'd use that remaining simple for second burst.

long narrow burst sensor(3) + gunnery(3) + ballistic specialization(2) + hotsim(2) + control rig(2) + smartlink(2) - wound modifier(2) -> 12d6.hits(5)=5 hits

5P +1 for the explosive ammo +5 for long narrow burst = 11P + net hits

now if I don't have the edge to go first
initiatives - 8 + 8d6.hits(5)=2 -> 10

I'll make a dodge (standard, no full defence and then go shooting with the drone) -> 4d6.hits(5)=2 so I got hit and before applying the above shooting, we'll need to resolve damage
