Seeing his thrust parried so easily, he switches to a defensive stance; pirouetting on the spot.
You could make out more of his greyish complexion, a total lack of any beard or stubble and a waxy-like sheen to his palid skin.
Your blades clashed in mid-air, resonating with a beautiful tone, then grinding against one another as your momentum carried the blade back into a lock.
burn 5 ini to do a parry defence;
: 18d6t5 8 parries the attack successfully but your blades are now locked; BOD + STR[3] to resist knockdown/[4] to inflict it on your opponent@Saithor__________
Yeah, we're still working on the details, you won't be heading up until Monday at the earliest. I'll forward over whatever intel we get from the recce asset in the meantime. Give me a commcode and i'll organise a VR meet on a secure host to go over the details.@Profgast__________
You do your best to maintain a solid sensor lock on the buildings but aren't particularly surprised by the lack of new information gained at your altitude.
There are no obvious heat sources from any of the buildings on thermal scans and you're too high to get a decent reading on motion scanners. The gusty wind defeats your attempts to listen for anything out of the ordinary but you do make out a few posts along a small section of nearby embankment which you assume mark the boundaries of the access track, currently submerged in the snow.
As you bank around to return to the van, the angulation change of the land reveals a smattering of outbuildings downhill from the main building. Most look fucked to put it politley, but two look as if they've seen recent repairs and a stack of snow-covered jerry cans next to one of them raises suspicions about the presence of a generator.
You settle the tiny drone down next to the van deftly on its emergency power supplies and head back out into the blustery frozen day.
The wind assaults you and thoroughly chills you to the bone in the short time it takes to retrieve it, and you're not surprised by the temp on the AR dash reading a frigid -6 degrees.
Rubbing your hands together for heat, you initiate a satellite connection to your MSP and battle through a noisy, laggy connection to upload the data.
After multiple dropped connections, you finally get the package through and a reply from Bex;
//Looks promising. Too new to be a coincidence. Get in closer and see if you can get me a feed on the front of the building and a full 360 close-up on those outbuildings// @Zwei_______
Winston barks happily, appearing in AR beside the Trid and sniffing at it curiously.
He paces up and down before disappearing, merging into the Trid's icon.
for me, diagnostics is absolutely perfect for this, you're using resonance to get inside the machine and diagnose any faults, assisting you with knowledge on how to fix it. perfect choice and excellent roll!Its not long before Winston returns his report;
//Faulty memory sector found in 0000x45Dt7778//<<Corrupt code embedded.

Terminate?If you want to investigate the code more, have him copy files to quarantined folder or if you want him to just blast it, then your repair roll stands and is successful.
