Yup, that guy just got a message that didn't have a commcode listed as the sender.

Out of curiosity, since it will likely come down to it sooner rather than later, what drones are available from the Monohan Vehicles facility? And though I have owner marks on them, am I normally authorized to take them off base? I'm just curious what sort of paperwork may be needed in order to exercise my "ownership".


Oh, and do I have ownership on the KE cruiser?

[Ravensoracle]

Not to steal Malevolence's thunder but since he brought it up I have a question that will be coming up soon as well that I may as well aske while the others are posting their IC.

I have varying dice pools for the perception skill.

Base perception: Intuition 4 + Perception 6
Visual: Base + Vision Enhancement 1 with contacts
Hearing: Base + Audio Enhancement 2 with earbuds
Smell: Base + Olfactory Sensor built into a Rating 6 sensor array

SO how would you want me to roll perception when I start to investigate the building. DO I roll base dice and then separately roll the dice for the enhancements to represent the different aspects or do I roll the entire pool for each sense separately?

Gunter is keeping an eye on the Bond, but is also going to scan the area for threats cycling through thermo/low-light/normal vision as appropriet.
Looking for threats (Perception 4 + Intuition 5 + Vision Enhancement 2 + Specifically Looking 3 = 14): 14d6t5 4 (limit 7)

[Malevolence]

With the aerial drones covering the outside, I'm going to send the Kanmushi inside. Anyone want a bug on their shoulder? It's got ultrasound and can get into tight spaces for a closer look.

[Ravensoracle]

I've got a r6 sensor array strapped to my back with ultrasound. It may be a better idea to pair it with one of the others.

Monohan has two classes of drones: Worker drones that help run the facility, and security drones to fend off any would be car thieves or other threats that the barrens have to offer. You are not normally authorized to take them off base, however it wouldn't be very hard for you to take some drones for your own use, assuming you return them in the same condition you found them. Swan shows up and takes a drone, you don't ask questions. Taking a drone and returning a pile of scrap, however, gets questioned.

And yes, you have access to the KE cruiser. Three marks, not owner level.

@Ravensoracle: You would roll each sense separately. As for using the Olfactory sensor, that is a Perception+Intuition [Sensor] roll. The rating of the sensor is your limit, it's not part of the dice pool.

Everybody can feel free to start rolling perception checks or relevant skill checks (like forensics) for the site. Remember that it is the middle of the night and there's not a whole lot of illumination, so you'll be taking illumination penalties if you don't have flashlights or a form of vision that can handle darkness. The cloud cover and pollution make illumination from the sky effectively zero, and there are barely any street lights or anything to help either. You're dealing with Total Darkness, mitigated by light you provide.

@Scawire: You got some good hits there, but I'm not sure what you're looking for in regards to Data Havens. Let me know what you're trying to find so I can tell you how well you did.

@Zweiblumen: Do you have thermo/low-light/normal flashlights or anything? You'll be losing some dice to light if not. However, y ou still got at least 3 hits on that.

Searching the immediate area, you see very little that could really be called a threat. In fact, just about the only signs of life you can spot are the heat signatures of devil rats digging in the rubble nearby. There's surprisingly little metahuman activity in the area, especially for the barrens. You're not sure what to make of that.

If you have any relevant knowledge skills related to behavior, barrens knowledge, street gangs, etc, you can roll it here.

[Ravensoracle]

That's fine with the olfactory sensor. I was just going off that it uses the same rules as the cyberware which gives you the boost. I have no problem either way.

[Ravensoracle]

Perception to study the scene. Intuition 4 + Perception 6 + Specifically Looking 3 + Pushing the Limit 5: [Limit 6 for sensor Array, Edge Spent] (18d6.hitsopen(5,6)=4)

Not the best roll for the dice but not bad. I didn't add the enhancements for the contacts ro earbuds since I was using the sensor to overcome the poor conditions.

Yup, you lose 3 dice to the lack of light, but that doesn't affect your roll much. You still see what you see, mostly with thermo, since low-light does jack all in total darkness.

And wow, what a roll. Yeah, you know nothing, Jon Snow.

You are free to question the locals if you want, though. They're just standing there in shock, but can be used to aid your investigation.

I'll give you the results of that in the IC, after you start searching in IC.

I don't have any scene investigation skills, but I can roll general perception I suppose.


Perception 6 + Intuition 5 + Vision Enhancement 1 (Thermo); This is from the driver seat of the Roadmaster
Perception (Crime scene): 12d6t5 5


And for the drones on autopilot:
Pilot 3 + Clearsight 6 = 9
K = Kanmushi, R = Rotodrone, F = Fly-spy, Fs = Fly-spy w/ sprite (same dice pool, so no real difference)
Drone Perception [K, R, F, Fs]: 4#9d6t5 2 2 1 3


Commanding the Machine Sprite into the Kanmushi and sustaining Diagnostics:
Level 6 * 2 = 12
Diagnostics: 12d6t5 5


Jumped in to the Kanmushi with the Machine Spirit
Encoding 9 + Intuition 5 - Control Rig 3 + VR 2 + Diagnostics 5 - Noise 2 = 22 [Sensor 3 + CR 3 + Diagostics 1 = Limit 7] using Ultrasound and Laser Range Finders (hidden rooms or other structural abnormalities)
Kanmushi Perception: 22d6t5 7
On the nose!

The flying drones are only looking outside unless someone calls them in (which I doubt). I'll jump into the Kanmushi to look around in the house, including ducts, etc.

I doubt the rolls from outside will return any new information, but they can't hurt.

@All: Since the detectives don't seem to want to go anywhere, does someone more Face-y want to maybe ask them about why it might be so quiet here?

@Ryo: For future upgrades, I'd like to add speakers to some of my drones so that I can talk to people without having to send them anonymous messages/AROs on their commlink. How would that work, especially if I wanted to electronically disguise my voice? A video display could also work.

Which actually gives me an idea. Can a device create an ARO? Since I have marks on the cruiser, could I have it create an ARO directed at the detectives that would be tied to it and not my persona?

[Koshnek]

Ok, so I don't have my book and I'm not sure this roll was good enough to hear the rotodrone. If it's not let me know, and I'll edit it out ASAP.
Perception to notice the Roto Drone: 12d6t5 2
Edit 3: This wasn't a visual perception check. I didn't use my Visual spec either, so I also did not include a darkness modifier. Thorn doesn't look at the officers, or back, or up at the sky. He just passes them silently.

Teamwork roll for Intimidation to be imposing as Thorn disregards the KE officers.
Intimidation against the KE officers: 8d6t5 5

General assensing roll. Right now he's just looking at the overall picture, and looking at individual auras until he finds something worth digging deep into. I included the Aura Reading spec.
First, general Assensing roll on site: 21d6t5 10 7 (Hit the limit)

Edit: Is there away to get the roller to record 1's? I have not been checking, but I just went my recent rolls over the past week or two, and I seem to be good. I don't want to glitch and miss it. I'm not a cheater .

Edit 2: Thorn is probably the face-y one, but he really doesn't care what they're doing. The only thing he cared about with regards to them is not getting to fool with them. Well, unless he wanted to make the Detective look bad/make his intimidating strategy backfire. Should I have rolled to resist pranking for that, or will you call for things like that yourself, Ryo?

Edit 4: I'm not at my book, how long does it take for Cram to kick in, and how long does it last? I would like to pop one before Thorn steps out of the truck, but I don't want to add content to a completed post without permission...even if it was only a little while ago :p.
