@Jayde, and @SGT, I'll take a Negotiation Test with +3 dice. 

[JackVII]

@rednblack Any input on the commlink question Jayde Moon and I were discussing above? Wraith would attempt to take a look at the dude's commlink, but I'm not sure how you would rule on it.

[rednblack]

If the manager has his link out for La Sombre to snap a pic, he's probably covering most of it with his hand.  Even if Wraith can get the model/manufacturer, which shouldn't be hard for her, by the time the pic is cleaned, he'll have moved on to a new area.

That said, I believe Wraith was able to find the name of the GM for Club Frisco, so she could do a Matrix Search for devices registered to that name, couldn't she?  It may not be the manager on duty tonight, but it could be.

Negotiation +3: 4d6t5 2

...that coulda gone much worse . Banking on La Sombre, unless my test can count as an assist?

Since you two are kind of taking opposite sides, let's just have that one ride.  Two is plenty, though.  I just kinda want to see how the pair is coming off.  We'll definitely be having La Sombre do the heavy lifting here, but chime in as much as you can.  Bonus dice are always a good thing.

Pretty much up to the DM. I forgot that I got a Manager's name. I'll have to go back and check.

Alternatively, if the comm is running and not silent, there should be a device/persona icon that La Sombra or Phoenix could see in AR. Matrix Perception could conceivably generate information that could help track ID the link for indirect matrix perception checks.

I don't want to get too wrapped around the axle here. It's an interesting question that has been raised before on the forums, but the devs have never really given any kind of response.

I would rule that this would be covered under, "Spot the target icon you're looking for," so long as you had something to base "looking for" on.

That'll work too.

I hear you.  I think we can assume that Wraith is able to get the link.  What do you want to do with it after you spot it?

Cyberdeck: ASDF/4577; Programs: Configurator, Exploit, Signal Scrub, Toolbox [Configurator: ASDF/6468, Programs: Decrypt, Encryption, Hammer, & Mugger]

Matrix Perception [INT (5) + Computer (5) + Hot-Sim (2)] (7): 12d6t5 4

She'd like to know:
1) Grid
2) Firewall Rating
3) Commcode/MAC Address/Whatever unique identifiers commlinks have (if I can pull it)
4) If it is a slave (if that's allowed).

(If 3 or 4 are not allowed, I'll just grab last Matrix action and MARKS on the device).

[rednblack]

1. MCT grid.
2. Firewall 4
3. Commcode is in hand.
4. It does not appear to be a slave.

[JackVII]

Staying on the Big Star Grid, so I'm taking cross grid penalties.

ETA: In case it isn't obvious, I'm hacking a MARK on his commlink.

Hack on the Fly [Logic (8) + Hacking (6) + Codeslinger (2) + Hot Sim (2) - Cross-Grid (2)] (5): 16d6t5 4 (Wow, nearly a glitch).

Forgot my device specialization, so if that applies here: + Device Specialization (2): 2d6t5 2 (For a total of 6 hits, limited to 5)

[Jayde Moon]

Sorry took so long:  Negotiation.

[rednblack]

@Jayde, no worries. Continuing with the nice rolls.

@Jack, Wraith has her MARK.

[JackVII]

For now, I'm going to try to Snoop his 'link.

Snoop [INT (5) + EW (6) + Hot-Sim (2)] [5]: 13d6t5 0

So.... Critical Glitch!

Sorry guys!

Wraith will switch from VR to AR and reboot as her first available actions. Let me know if there are any problems with that, rednblack...

After that, she's going to message Phoenix.

[rednblack]

So.... Critical Glitch!

This should be fun.
