Let me know if I see anything on the astral.

How long does psyche last? If it lasts for hours I'm going to take it as soon as I get back to my body.

[Jayde Moon]

Lighthouse, don't you have a copy of the book?! 

12-Body Hours, minimum 1 Hour.

The appliances are wireless slaved to the host.  But they are slaved, so you need either a direct connection to the device, or you need to hack the host to then hack the devices.

Also, you've found a few camera icons.

[Ravensoracle]

ANything from my rolls? I am searching the yards and houses.

[Jayde Moon]

I imagine you were just sort of looking at the front, actually nosing around in the yards themselves, I'd like to see more IC about exactly what Deex is doing, how he's approaching it, which house he's starting on, etc.

A simple note that he's "letting his skills do their work" doesn't give me much to play off of!

I'll give it another day before I move forward with another post.

The Cul de Sac in question is at 23201 105th Ave SE



House 1: Lit up front and back.  Individual inside watching Combat Biker game.

House 2: Dark

House 3: Dark.  Toyota Gopher parked in the driveway.

House 4: Lit up in front and back.  Family inside eating dinner in the front room.

House 5: Lit up in front.

----

I'm going to pause the IC to let you guys decide how you want to go into the backs of yards, if at all.  So far, you've only searched around the front.

[Zeroman]

I am going through the back yards.1 to 2 to 3. Moving through the trees and avoiding making noise as much as possible.
Though with no low-light vision, might be hard for me to tell if anything is really in the houses, but can rule out 1 and 2 as not likely.

[Ravensoracle]

Do we keep doing what we are doing or change things up?

[realbrit70]

I think Zeroman has a point in regard to house 1 & 2. I'm about to hack into a host or two when I get the answer to the following question

@Jayde, camera icons are slaved to which host(s)? I'll make the perception tests after transcending the grid. Rolls to follow

[realbrit70]

Walks in Cloud actions:

Transcendent Grid Level 6: (Thread Complex Form - Complex Resonance Action) Software 5 + Resonance 6: 2 hits
Fading: 3DV (L-3) Willpower 6 + Resonance 6: 3 hits

So no fading and 2 minutes of transcendent grid activity

Matrix Perception to determine host(s) for camera icons: (Complex Action) Computer 5 + Logic 4 + VR 2 - Grid 0: 2 hits

Compile a Crack Sprite Level 6: (Compile Sprite - Complex Action) Compiling 6 + Resonance 6 - Grid 0: 4 hits
Against the Sprite Level 6: 0 hits
Fading: 2DV (minimum) Willpower 6 + Resonance 6: 6 hits

Again no fading and 4 tasks owed by the sprite.

Following actions will be to have the Sprite Hack on the Fly each of the hosts that have camera icons and mark it with Walks In Cloud's mark. Hacking 6 + Sleaze 9

[Jayde Moon]

My understanding is that Sprites have their own MARK and cannot place a MARK for you.

However, they can make teamwork tests to your Hack on the Fly to help you place a MARK.

If this is not the case (I honestly don't have a deep understanding of how Sprites work), let me know and also if you could point me to where it says sprites can place their 'owners' MARK.

Thanks!

[realbrit70]

Oops, you are right. I was confusing Resonance signature with ability to MARK and thinking that as the Sprite and I share a Resonance signature we also share a MARK. My first time with a Technomancer too.

In that case we'll team up to Hack on the Fly against the first host I identify has a slaved security system.

Sprite Hack on the Fly: Hacking 6 + Sleaze 9: 6 hits
gives +1 to my limit and +6 to dice pool (only 5 added because of skill level)

Walks in Cloud Hack on the Fly (Limit 4+1): Hacking 5 + Logic 4 + Hot VR 2 + Teamwork 5 + Transcedent 0: 6 hits (only 5 count)
against Intuition + Firewall.

If there are extra net hits I'm looking for devices running silent in the host and host's firewall rating in that order.

[Ravensoracle]

Sneaking roll around the back of the houses.

Sneaking in the back Yards: 18d6t5 6

Perception checks for houses 5 & 4

Perception check for houses 5 & 4: 2#15d6t5 4 5

[Lighthouse]

So nothing on the astral?

[Zeroman]

Peeking into the back windows of House #3, though without low-light vision.

Peeking into windows of House #3: 11d6t5 5 (Before any minuses)

Staying stealthy,

Maintaining Stealth: 13d6t5 5

Is there any back doors into House #3?

[Jayde Moon]

@ Lighthouse

Nothing on the Astral.


I do not anticipate posting tomorrow (Thanksgiving) but will try to make posts throughout the rest of the weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
