Pennies does not have automatic access to the grid, either.  I am all for hopping the grid to remove the -2.

Brute Force for the hop:  LOG 8 + Cybercombat 6 + Hot SIM 2 - Running Slient 2 - Grid 2 = 12 dice  12d6t5: 7 [12d6t5=2, 6, 2, 1, 1, 5, 5, 2, 5, 5, 6, 5]

So, wow.  I expected to be busy this week, but not this excruciatingly badly.

It's 10:50 pm California time.  So I've been working every day since last Tuesday.  I guess last Saturday was sort of a day off?  Not really, the bulk was our unit flight to California, but we were up and in uniform at early o'clock and upon arrival sat in briefings to acquaint us with the post.

So we're doing this 'Staff Level' exercise, and it turns out no one knows what the f they are doing, so I've been in the 'office' at 7am after breakfast at the dining facility and then leaving 'office' at 10pm or later.  That's pretty much been every day this week.  Tuesday we got out at 8pm :D

I'm officially out of laundry and will try to do some tomorrow.  If I can find a free machine.  Good times.

And there is no sign that it's not going to be like this for the next four nights.  Wednesday ends the training exercise and then Thursday will be a regular length day and then Friday the flight back home.  Then we'll work over the weekend again.

Last night I tried to get on but I guess the forums were down so now I'm trying to get caught up tonight and give you guys a little something.  I am also frustrated that I don't even have enough time to take half an hour to post on some forums.

The irony is that once we're actually overseas, everything will calm down once we find our battle rhythm.  We'll still have 14 hour days, but we;ll be able to find 3-4 hours within those 14 hours to take for ourselves, and maybe even swing the shifts a bit because that 14 hour requirement is office manning, not necessarily everyone has to be there the whole time.

For the game:

The two of the hackers manage to easily mark and enter the host.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Damn man, crazy times.  :o Hope things settle down again.

As for next step, Ice will look for the schedule file.

That sucks dude  :( . Do what you need to, take it easy and don't stress yourself out over us.

Life has a way of saying "Here, I'm going to take alllll that time you had for things and just put it in this box over here for a while. I hope you didn't need it, cuz you ain't gettin' it now."

In game:
Div keeps an eye out for danger.

Pennies is going to watching for IC.  Any checks are Hot SIM +2 - Running Silent 2.  I think I am correct that the GOD score stops increasing while we are in a host, right?

God score continues to increase while in a host, they just notify the host where they would originally converge on you. (Then they converge when you leave the host)

PHEW.  We finished our exercise today.  100+ hour work week so I'm fried.  Tomorrow is a travel day as we head back home, then hopefully this weekend, I can go over and push this along.

Ahh, seems I was wrong earlier about Technomancer bonus, only for Perception checks, and we don't know enough about the file to use that.

I'm recovering enough to be spending time at the comp occasionally, so can pick up on my rolls again now.

Like passing ships...

At this time I am making a decision to table the Shaking Down Shadows games until I can actually regularly devote time to them.  I did not anticipate the amount of work it would take to prepare for this deployment I am about to go on.  I guess that's what happens when you plus up a unit from 40% manning to 100% (read: all new people) and then try to get them trained for a year abroad in just a few short months.

The irony is that once I'm in country I am fairly confident that my schedule will stabilize.  Unfortunately, that won't be until April sometime.

I think it would be better to just hold off for the next month and a half to two months than to try to force a post haphazardly and force everyone to sort of monitor the threads 'just in case' I might have posted.

I am still very interested and excited to keep these games going as I have the whole 'year' IG sort of plotted out and I am very disappointed with the circumstances that that have 'forced' my inactivity.

I am very appreciative that you all have stuck with it and I ask that you bear with me a little while longer.  We'll get the ball rolling on these and I hope that it will all be worth it in the end.

When I am certain I can post regularly, I will send you all a message, either via PM or email (PM me your email address in that case!)  Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for letting us know! I'll be here when you get back to 'normality' but in the meantime good luck with RL!

Alright, the search worked, now to edit the file you need and then move on to step whatever is the next step :)
