Yeah, maybe we need to clear up a few things OP before we proceed (and if everyone is ok we can abstract the whole surveillance part in one or two posts so we don't lock out half the team for a considerable amount of time)

Until now I was under the impression that the farm operated with hardwired devices (being an old building and so on) and that's why they need that antenna to control their drones. If the have a host they can just make a WAN and don't have to worry about noise at all.

Also, what info from Wheely have we ignored/forgotten?

[Kuirem]

Mostly that I got the position of one (was there more than one?) RCC on which all drones are slaved. But from what I remember from my first trip there was nothing about camera or door controls. Just the DB and the RCC.

[Jack_Spade]

Is that RCC somewhere else than in the control room three stories below ground? That's how I understood it.

[gilga]

The RCC that Whelly traced is in some address in S.t Lewis - long distance from the farm. The way I planned it, the existence of such a large Antenna suggests that RCCs can be placed at distance from the farm.

[Stuttrboy]

So the antenna has to come down then.

[gilga]

Hi guys, should we get you to next scene? What is the plan?

[Ennui]

I guess.  I figured a lot of folks hadn't been posting due to the holiday and Mercy is on a cruise.

[Kuirem]

I think we were going to check the RCC position, see what we can find in meat space with Kynos, Ayato, Irris and Wheely.

Not sure what Nyx is planning and from what I understand everyone is riding on my car.

[Jack_Spade]

Pretty much that, yes

[gilga]

Nyx and Simone (if they accompanied you) can roll a memory test to see if any of the security firm names are familiar. If I understand correctly, the rest of you were not physically at the farm.

@gilga

How is the RCC working if it's secluded within a host? Wouldn't that prevent the RCC from interacting with the drones?
Or are all the icons of the drones also inside the host?

p.246 core:
"The virtual space inside a host is separate from the outside grid. When you’re outside of a host, you can’t interact directly with icons inside it, although you can still send messages, make commcalls, and that sort of thing. "

[gilga]

The drones are also inside the host, not visible if you are outside of the host - no problem in sending a message (I assume that Wheely has the know how as he is the one that traced the icon).

[Mercy Merchant]

I am back.  I guess I am a bit unclear what role Simone and Nyx are playing in the current  plan.  Can someone please bring me up to speed?

[gilga]

You have the evidence and should be getting ready to take over the farm. 
The group went to Fort Lewis to look for the RCC Wheely traced. The place is heavily populated so I think social skills can be useful and depending on how violent you plan to be so are combat skills.

[Kuirem]

So far we were going with my car but if we have one more person I guess we should say we took the van instead, if Ennui is ok with that.
