Hardware 5 + Logic 5 + magic 4 + augmented reality  reference materiel 2-
(it is a commlink so I assumed the technical spec is probably easy to find)  = 16
Hardware: 16d6t5 6

Good roll. You manage to get it functional again. You've now got some paydata.

About forgery one of the things I thought about was shipping papers that indicates where we picked up the goods whom to deliver it stuff like this. Don't have to be papers - could also be files if we moved forward.

Ah, good call.

Siren does IT has to maintain improve intuition after the disguise roll? I'd assume that impersonation is something you actively do, but disguise seems a bit passive - you use makeup clothes and stuff like that.  In the second case scrap what I said because an active magic spell will make you look more suspicious. (I think)

Nah, once the disguise is done, it isn't going to decrease in quality as IT's intuition decreases.  She used the increase to construct the uniforms, and they will maintain that quality even after the spell fades. 

Also, add Matrix ID "Mandrake" as a 1/1 Matrix contact for Parabotany.

Everyone, regarding Yako's appearance, any character with any knowledge of Korean legends at all would know this.

This may or may not factor into future interactions with NPCs.

Flea can add Max Blank as a 1/1 contact.  Mechanic.

James and Inanna should be good for the customs job. We can both con our way in, or if that fails, James can do some good ol' B&E. The only concern would be for Awakened security. James doesn't have Astral perception. He can see if the temple has some Deepweed he could have or buy, but the problem with that is that he can't turn it off at will, which is very risky.


I am reluctant to "split the party" again, so if possible it might be a good idea to have everyone else on hand should things go to pot during the customs infiltration to provide backup/extraction. But we might not have that kind of time, so we'll do our best either way - I just wanted to put that out there for consideration.

We have a bulldog everyone can wait there. IT can come as your astral eyes if you prefer a quite partner or Yako can come as a not so quite partner. We should definitely not split again - combat it seems is not our forte as a team.  If you seen the second commlink hack.

@ScytheKnight - Yako can use invisibility + trid phantasm = vehicle mask.  Real car invisible - next to it, a fake car. Just a thought tough. If she do not have invisibility IT has it.

So cool! ...intended ?

[gilga]

IT can add Max Blank as a 2/1 contact. 

Alright, combat is over.  A few of you already have or will soon be able to get vital info on your targets and objective.  After tonight, 1 night remains before the Tea Festival during which the mudang is vital.  Let the RP and planning commence.  Flea is at the Temple, and the others can get there quickly if they wish.  If some wish to travel to the Cathedral, it is about 3 hours away with some reckless driving.

Siren is it the same Max Blank Flea just added - because IT has him as a 2/1 ?

Disguise roll:
Disguise 5 + Intuition 5 = 10
Disguise: 10d6t5 4
Hopefully that keeps us from being discovered.

@Mal - For James
Improve intuition (for james): 16d6t5 5
drain: 12d6t5 3
So you have 4 more dice for disguise making.

[rednblack]

Catching up now.

I think we should definitely take the whole team for the insertion, but maybe split up into groups once there.  James and Inanna can can Con + Disguise.  Flea and Yako with the sneaking.  IT on overwatch.  Sabato running backup.  We could also put Sabato with James and Inanna, posing as a new hire: no talking, taking it all in, Inanna jumps in as an overbearing superior, should any questioning start.  Thoughts?  Ok, looks like Sabato is a no go, from IC chatter.

Very interesting that they thought they might be able to turn us.  Inanna is going to have fun with that.

ETA: Inanna also has the Disguise skill, so she will assist James in his endeavors

Disguise Teamwork Test: 7d6t5 3

Not bad.  some extra dice +1 limit.

@Rednblack- I think you can also use leadership to help (your charisma/leadership may be higher).

Also don't forget Flea - Should you need decking - it is always easier in direct connection. (and sneaking I think).
I think you will definitely be safer with Sabato around. If the cargo is important he can pass as a hired security.

[rednblack]

Assuming a Con roll is in order.  Inanna is going to try to make the plant think that Inanna doesn't trust the temple personnel, and that she's interested in his side of things so she can make an informed decision.

Con v. plant: 17d6t5 4

Not the greatest roll, but I'm reluctant to re-roll failures, as I only need 3 more 1s to glitch.  He'll probably want to believe Inanna anyway.

[Csjarrat]

yeah, flea is (in theory) sneaky enough that she should be able to get somewhere to establish a direct connection, hence the cheap deck. She's not a dedicated hacker (more a support hacker) so isnt expecting to rambo through hosts solo lol, she'll need some assistance no doubt

[Sabato Kuroi]

Ι think we should finish with the package withheld at customs before we form a final plan for the Cathedral

I had.. no idea there was a similar, but malevolent, version in Korea mythology... and the description of half-fox/half-human, with how heavily Yako is surged?

This could be... interesting. 

And yes, Yako is enough of a trickster to take advantage of this is she ever finds out. 

[Malevolence]

7 more dice for disguises:
Disguise extra dice: 7d6t5 2
So, total is 6 for the disguises.


I'll do an IC.

[ScytheKnight]

Most people seem to have forgotten that Yako split off to get in touch with a contact so someone might need to message her and fill her in on the customs run.

Updates incoming, had a late night.
