Ouch, get better soon.

Beats my "Came in dead last." story, anyway.

I can't help but see sex, at least for professionals, as, well, a job.  Lie back and think of the bottom line.
Also, perhaps more distressingly, in terms of martial arts chop-socky martial arts flicks; various schools and styles, disciples, the whole philosophy that "Martial artists communicate with their fists"...I've been missing G Gundam, it seems.  "Look, the...East is burning red!"
...I was trying to think of a good luck charm or bit of equipment to give Silk, but I couldn't think of anything.  "Here...take this.  My old lucha libre mask.  For...luck?"?

EDIT:  Wish I knew the fuel consumption for Thunderbirds.  That might be one way to get the bus there.  But I don't know how commercially viable those things are.

Both of them do see sex as something unrelated to emotion... doesn't mean they can't enjoy it though, they've both had extensive "training".

Truth be told, I'm surprised you played her so emotional... but that's cool really. She's much like Silk. Just because she displays those emotions, doesn't mean she's feeling them. They could be sincere, there could be a reason to fake them Silk doesn't know, or they could just be because it's the "right thing" to do at those moments.
Damned I wish you wrote some italic inner thoughts for her :p If you're assigning me some sort of Judas neg. quality, I want those BP's!

Cannot help myself, but last posts in IC constantly remindes me the Fallout: New Vegas, where in computer terminals in one of (I think) Repconn facility, or maybe Helios One, There was an email from security manager to employes, titled something like: Can I told him? (her/it) Concerning giving details or even general info on projects to someone close...wife, child etc...
realy funny i thought...until now...
now I see why it is not so funny.

OMG

[Xzylvador]

Lol yeah, I actually didn't like the game too much, but some of the fluff they put in it is really awesome.
The paranoia against everything not "uncle Sam approved" is really over the top hilarious.

Anyhow, back to bed.

[Rockopolis]

Yeah, I think I remember that letter.  "Well, what if your mistress talks to one of her gossip buddies, who is a COMMUNIST INFILTRATOR?"  Shadowrun makes me paranoid.
Man, I wish that XBox was working, and I'd borrowed that game...I actually enjoyed playing that while working out.  It would at least provide a consistent theme to my thoughts, as opposed to, say, watching random anime.

I'm surprised you considered her emotional.  I always worry about my writing coming off as extremely flat, very...sub 1 essence, I guess.  I was trying to tone back the "I AM AN WORLD WEARY HIGHLY AUGMENTED LADY OF THE EVENING WHO KNOWS NEITHER LOVE NOR JOY NOR LOWERCASE, ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE WHICH IS MONEY IN THIS BLEAK WORLD EMPTY OF PASSION."

Italic thoughts?  That wouldn't be any fun.
And I think Judas is for the player character, oddly enough.  You might be thinking of Hung Out To Dry, sort of?  Unless Silk is a replicant or something.

Okay. Assuming Nomad gets home at 2 and stops hacking to get ready for the meetup, that's 9 hours of hacking in VR. Let's roll the dice...

9d6.hits(5) → [5,6,1,4,2,5,4,5,5] = (5)
9d6.hits(5) → [1,2,2,4,2,4,2,1,5] = (1)
9d6.hits(5) → [6,2,2,4,3,2,2,5,4] = (2)
9d6.hits(5) → [3,5,5,4,1,5,6,3,1] = (4)
9d6.hits(5) → [6,3,3,1,5,3,1,6,2] = (3)
9d6.hits(5) → [6,2,6,4,4,4,3,3,1] = (2)
9d6.hits(5) → [4,5,6,6,5,4,3,5,6] = (6)
9d6.hits(5) → [5,6,5,2,6,5,4,5,2] = (6)
9d6.hits(5) → [1,1,2,3,6,1,3,2,1] = (1)


...Yeah, I think I've clinched that admin account.

[Rockopolis]

Not bad, assuming there's no spider or ICE...what the hell, it's a ticket server, their security is decent but inflexible.  It takes you six hours, but you now have access to the tourist website and ticket servers.  What would you like to do?  Vandalism, editing the guest list spring to mind.
You're also feeling kinda bleary eyed from staying up all night and working.  Er...this is the future, no staring at monitors...bleary brained?  Brain burnt?
Unless you want to have a Matrix fight or infiltration?  Warm up the ol' Otaku brain?  In fact, I could use some practice with those rarely used matrix rules...
Tell me what you'd like to do, and in the meantime I'll see if I can design something more involved.

[Presidentevil133]

Actually, that's the great thing about probing a target; no matter how much ICE there is, until you log on you only provoke opposed action on glitches.

Anyways, since I don't yet know what data I'm supposed to be putting in for our tickets. So, I'll just login and establish my admin account for later use. I believe the system gets a single analyze + firewall check, threshold my stealth rating, which is 5.

[Chrona]

Dude thread your stealth

And/Or get a sprite to use assist operation (stealth + sprite rating)
(Also a sprite could sustain the thread for you)

[Presidentevil133]

Actually, yeah. Okay. Threading it is...

8d6.hits(5) → [3,1,5,1,5,3,3,5] = (3)


Those three hits will increase my stealth to 8. As for the fading...

8d6.hits(5) → [1,1,5,4,2,1,5,3] = (2)


Resists 2P fading and takes 1P.

[Chrona]

You can heal that up easily

[Sichr]

You can heal that up easily

Or I can...

[Xzylvador]

I was hoping we wouldn't be getting in fights today... if we did, things look even worse than they do already, heh.

When Nomad gets on the bus, Silk beckons him to come sit next to her.

You missed that before posting IC, or Nomad dodging Silk?
