Not that I'm an experienced ShadowRunner, but with the Tansys being really good and the fact that you've got matrix support silent and running seems the wise move.  You get *lots* of bonuses, and it's my job to keep the OpForce deckers too busy to smash your shit.

For the Record: Doc's Deck configuration
Programs: Agent; Decryption; Encryption; Mugger
A: 7(8 ) S: 4 D: 6 F: 5(6)

And at this point both Doc and the Agent are scanning Silent Devices.  Lemme know if you want rolls.

[Tecumseh]

Katsina is playing it that way, although she doesn't have much in the way of wireless bonuses.

Ace sees two guys in the Tata Hotspur. There's space for a more people to be standing in the bed of the truck, but it doesn't look like anyone is.

He sees two people in the front of the Bulldog. There's a man in the driver's seat and a woman in the passenger seat. He doesn't see if there's anyone in the rear of the vehicle. Everyone he can see is dressed in black, kind of like Katsina (but without masks).

The Bulldog is is the lead with the Hotspur behind it.

@Zweiblumen, go ahead and roll against the silent devices.

Matrix Perception on New Silent Device (Int 4 + Computer 5 + Qualia 1 + VR 2 - Wounds 1 = 11): 11d6t5 5 (limit 6) (forgot my Specialization again matrix perception specialization 2: 2d6t5 2 booya!!!  2 for 2, over my limit, what a waste.
Agent's Matrix Perception on hiden icon Rating(6)*2+2 for all rolls = 14: 14d6t5 7 (limit 6)

If someone wants to give a heads up to Doc about the vehicles following us he can start trying to do smart things to them.

Updated IC post to share info Ace gleaned from his Perception Test with the rest of the team, and put down that he turned Wireless functionality on.

[Malevolence]

I'm entertaining guests, so I can't post more than this for a few hours. Ohanzee is going to play wait and see. He seems to start more trouble being proactive, so he's going to try a different part and let trouble find him. If these guys are like Kat, they'd probably wreck him and Wolf in Astral combat anyway.

[rednblack]

This is goin to be a busy week at the day job. I should still be able to post everyday, but they may be brief and a little dry. Just wanted to warn everybody.

[Malevolence]

On further consideration, Ohanzee will astrally perceive in case anyone pops in. Wolf will notify him, of course, but it'll save a complex action.

[Malevolence]

So, at this point, all of Ohanzee's gear is Wireless Off except his commlink (and trodes of course), which is not hiding. It is slaved to Doc's PAN.

[Tecumseh]

Time to drop into Initiative.

Katsina: 14

Katsina, wishing she were faster, remembers a little belatedly that she knows the preparation for Increased Reflexes.

@Malevolence
Ohanzee, confronted with a hostile adversary, realizes that his fight-or-flight instinct is to freeze in the headlights and hope that nothing bad happens. Ohanzee has Combat Paralysis.

While he's busy wishing he didn't have Combat Paralysis, and that he wasn't trapped in a slow-moving tin drum full of murderous spirits, Ohanzee also remembers that he knows the Increased Reflexes spell.

@rednblack
Ace, handling the Lancer for the first time since his amnesia kicked in, remembers it like an old friend. Ace has Exotic Ranged Weapon (Laser) 6.

@Zweiblumen
I'm going to give Doc and the Agent three (3) IPs each of Matrix Perception to represent the time passing in the last IC post. Doc can use them to figure out which devices are running silent or to get more information on the devices that aren't running silent.

[Malevolence]

Initiative: 1d6+7 9
So, 5.
Wolf's initiative
Initiative: 3d6+12 22
This'll be interesting. I have a plan, but my low initiative is going to cause problems.

[rednblack]

Initiative: 7+2d6 15

Are we currently in town, or on the outskirts of town in a more rural area?

[Zweiblumen]

Lets do this IP by IP so I can try and find the decker and then get some info on the vehicles.

IP1
Agent: Agent's Matrix Perception on hiden icon Rating(6)*2+2 for all rolls = 14: 14d6t5 6 (limit 6)
Device type; Device rating; FW rating (doubt I'll get more the 3)
Doc: Matrix Perception (Comp 5 + Int 4 + Quali 1 + Spec 2 + VR 2 - Wounds 1 = 13): 13d6t5 6 (limit 6)
Device type; Device rating; FW rating (doubt I'll get more the 3)

Not bad for a first pass.

Question, does the agent get the plus 2 for being in hot-sim VR?

[Tecumseh]

You're in a rural area outside of town limits. You're on a two-lane road with a hillside to your right and a drop-off to your left. The Terrain Modifier is Restricted (+2) due to rolling hills, blind curves, icy conditions, and a lack of shoulders on a narrow road. There is nobody else around; you have some privacy.

Here's the map:

The fact that your current location is named Slaughterhouse Gulch is a complete coincidence, I'm sure.


@Zweiblumen
Doc and his Agent need to decide which icons to use Matrix Perception on. Here's the list:
1. Silent Device #1
2. Silent Device #2
3. Silent Device #3
4. Silent Device #4
5. Silent Device #5
6. Silent Device #6
7. Silent Device #7
8. Tata Hotspur - offroad racing truck
9. GMC Bulldog - the classic
10. Rotodrone - this icon looks like a jumped-in rigger
11. a persona not running silently in the Bulldog (Minor retcon, I had originally mistyped this and said it was in the Hotspur. It's in the Bulldog.)

[Zweiblumen]

Doc #1 Agent #2

[rednblack]

Not sure if Ohanzee wants to retcon his most recent instructions to reflect that we are not currently in town. 

Are we currently in initiative order?
