2. JDA, make a roll on Charisma + Etiquette + Loyalty of the bartender contact.

To speed up. I've made the roll myself. JDA you can reroll if you wish.
3d6.hits(5)=1

The bartender knows two bits of informations (real lucky roll 2 hits on 2 dice)
And is willing to give one for free.

[Sentinemodo]

"I'll search "Lady Jade". Might shed some light, you guys just drive the hell out of here."

Cursor dropped into VR.

Will roll when i go home tonight

Chrona, we'll resolve this after you camera's hacks.

[Sentinemodo]

"That was almost too easy. Makes me wonder... Those punks wouldn't be able to kill 'Lady Jade'. She'd manage to fend them off at least. I'm curious... "

Actually, they have been quite capable of killing her. I've made the rolls before you started you mojo. And she was half dead after the first round, with lieutenant merely scratched. Next round she would be probably dead or very close to, and would need all her remaining edge to kill the boss (who by that time would be in the razors range if he lived through). Being in that shape, it would be easy enough for them to finish her in the third round.

No, if she would be left without help, she'd be dead by now. Even with the help of the team if not for you lucky rolls against the lieutenant there were high chances of them killing her.

They weren't strong, but numerous enough to make it over. That you managed to clear them without a scratch - I'm impressed.

[Sentinemodo]

After that business ...

JDA, does it mean, you pay the bartender 50 yen for additional information, or you leave it for other members to acquire via other means?

[Chrona]

Sent: I've lost my copy of cursors current status in kot's form, could you send it to me? it was in the last pm

[Sentinemodo]

Turn 1
IP1: Ask crack sprite to assist exploit for 3 turns.
IP2: Hack on the fly Target 7 : Hacking 3 + Exploit 5 + VR 2 + Assist 3 (13d6.hits(5)=4)
IP3: Hack on the fly Target 7 : Hacking 3 + Exploit 5 + VR 2 + Assist 3 (13d6.hits(5)=3)

There is Watanabe Electric Kitsune IC inside waiting for you (the Analyze 3 program).

scanning from the restaurant node:
Firewall(4) + Analyze(3) (Stealth 7)
7d6.hits(5)=4, 7d6.hits(5)=4, 7d6.hits(5)=2
Your stealth was beaten after 2 rounds

The moment you got security account the alarm was send out. The node is now on restricted alert against your access_id
Two spider icons subscribed immediately (Scramble Security Hacker ARC)

Initiative roll please:
7d6.hits(5)=0, 7d6.hits(5)=2
Spider_1 - Initiative 7
Spider_2 - Initiative 9

 

[Chrona]

I'm really getting fed up, a restaurant with 2 spiders? seriously?

Also an IC cant be a resident analyse program, either the node has a resident Analyse, No resident analyse and IC or both.

As the sprite assisted the hack can we use it's

Su ppression
The sprite has an innate ability to confuse firewalls that detect the sprite
engaging in illegitimate activity. Any time the sprite triggers an alert
(p. 238), the alert is delayed for (rating ÷ 2, round up) Combat Turns.

to make me have logged off by the time the alert starts?

[JDA]

Sent. i'm sorry. Yes I pay the bartender for the additional info.

1. Didn't I told you it is a very fancy, high class restaurant? Higher profile, higher security budget. The kind that do not like to have the light out? Chrona, I know it's hard to imagine, but hackers here are in every trid, people are VERY aware of that kind of threat. and some people take security seriously, believe me. if they put a two troll bouncers at the entrance, why do you think they wouldn't put two spiders in their node. Moreover, why do you think the team of two spiders, hired to protect the node, wouldn't be simultaneusly protecting hundred of other nodes in the Sprawl? That's how security companies work. The node response was to scramble them in. Simple as that.

2. the IC is Kitsune Watanabe - read the description, the only program it has loaded is an Analyse - rating 3 in this case.

3. we can use it, what's its rating?

[Chrona]

Rating 3 so thats 2 turns, i was logged off by then.

I understand the IC is running Analyze but the node needs it's own resident analyze, not one loaded on a sprite, to roll with it's firewall

The node cant run an analyze loaded onto IC against a hacker, it needs it's own, otherwise it just rolls firewall. The IC can run a payload copy of the resident analyse against me once on the node but it's not an extended test and whatever hits the node got doesn't help it.

[Sentinemodo]

My bad then. The node has BOTH resident analyze and ICe loaded with analyze from the description. I assumed tHat node can use what's loaded on its ICE but I stand corrected.

[Sentinemodo]

Actually. If you have suppession. You should have rough time to find and delete the files before they arrive.

Just thinking.

[Sentinemodo]

I meant enough. But thinking further doesn't suppression working only on sprite actions?
How does it asist you? Maybe it would have been better to ask it to hack in and create the account for you?

[Chrona]

It was using the assist operation task so technically the sprite was hacking at the same time i was, i asked cos it's your call

if yes: That's what i mean, they'll get the alert after i'm done deleting and logged off.

Onto the next set of analyze attmpts i suppose

[Sentinemodo]

Almost (but you can roll for the other node already)

IP3:Data Search Access Log: Thread Browse (10d6.hits(5)=5)
Browse 4, 4S fade: fading (10d6.hits(5)=4)
2P overall.
Data Search 3 + Browse 4 + Analytic 2 + VR 2 (11d6.hits(5)=1) I'm looking for traces of myself, in the last 6 seconds so that should be enough, if not Data Search 3 + Browse 4 + Analytic 2 + VR 2 (11d6.hits(5)=6) and bump everything down an IP.
Turn 3
IP1: The access log rules aren't great, it hasn't been 5 turns (unwired p.65) so the logs haven't been updated yet so I've no trace of m login to delete but waiting around 2 more turns makes no sense, can we assume I can cover my tracks by using the action to make sure it doesn't update? Delete Raw Log Data? Ignore next Log out? it says hackers can do it, but not how.
IP2: Log Out then Renew Assist Exploit
IP3: Hack on the fly Target 7 : Hacking 3 + Exploit 5 + VR 2 + Assist 3 (13d6.hits(5)=5)

Unfortunately for the spider, hackers
tend to change both their location and their access ID on a regular
basis, so this information is usually dated and no longer accurate. A
successful Track Test using access log information will only give the
location from which the hacker performed the last action recorded
in the access log, and the access ID that she used at the time.

this means, that they can pinpoint your physical location (within 50m) and your access_id. I don't know if/how Technomancer can change his access_id. But you've changed the location already.

There is no problem with finding the logs of your presence, but to alter them you'd need admin accounts.
Since I see that is what you intended to do, and there is enough time space to do this, I'll rule that you made it to the admin account, the alarm was fired up but supressed. You deleted both camera files and raw data for accesslog.

On future rolls however, keep in mind
With User - you have access to main node functions and operate them
With Security - you have read access to monitoring tools and can load/unload security programs
With Admin - you have full access to each and every file including AccessLog.

Proceed with next node and if you intend to delete the access log you need to go for the admin account.
