All right.

Should I fast forward to some point of time in future?

There are several options I see from the above.
0. if Sam is going to sneak to the Calico position with some food make an infiltration roll
1. meet with gang - which one? what do you want them to do?
2. breaking into -  when? what do you prepare first if anything?
3. matrix hack - when? what do you prepare first if anything?
4. disrupt transports? you have to identify them first, during the second shift today and up to now there were none outgoing nor incoming.
5. raising the general alert and stress level by faking hostage situation or randomly calling PuebSec? when, what exactly do you do?

I know you have dropped some ideas on the plate, but they need to be worked out a little, unless you just go in on spontaneus action, watch the bullets fly and decide on spot. That will surely give you an edge of being unpredictable. Thieves and infiltrators have their patterns and security have their counter patterns.

I'll start ticking the time on my own to give you some pressure.

0100 AM means I had my tires and suspension changed, I got some sleep and Im back at Sams HQ...and I refuelled my SpyEye at leas one more time, jut for sure.

Once Fractal hacks the admin account, there is lot we can do. But not before, We want to catch all ICs sleeping. Once we are in the node,  We should even send us an invitation. So this must be done first. We will also have the parts list, their cargo numbers and theirs possition, so we would be able to steal some...and acces to assembly lines contrl systems.
I suppose that since we had a lot of time passed, Fractal is up to it??? But I cannot speak for himself.

I need to repeat my question:
Does anyone know some chemist? Or are you able to do some thing by yourself, Sam? We dont need VX, tear gass would be enought...or some toxic waste sample  to simulate the leak. Since they are working on electric motros, there will be a lot of chemicals used for fusion cells and such things, most of them posing health risk.

@GM: Just by the look, is there any strong radio transmiter around there? Antena, radio or WiFi transponder or something like that?

[Netzgeist]

Okay, my thought on the action.

Fractal will be probing their node, trying to hack his way into the system. Once there, he will if the more interesting approach will be to create a backdoor or a hidden account for the time he will enter the node again during the infiltration procedure.

All the while, he will be waiting for his contacts to tell him how much the gear he is asking them for would cost (probably I will make a more complete buying checklist, we will see). As he will be working his way into the node, he will be connected, so any change of the plan may be send to him.

After that, he will get some time to sleep. I'm assuming we will invade next night. If we are thinking of doing it now, them Fractal can haste things up, so let me know.

On a side note, I thing contact with Gangers would be more interesting after the first entering. So I'm not thinking a lot about it now.

[Codac]

We really need to do something today the Johnson wanted us to start immediately.

After Calico wakes up she'll contact the team to see if there are any plans. If not she will leave her post one hour after she woke up.

OK, to changed tires and refuelling

There is a transmitter, but it doesn't look anywhere powerful, just a standard, not portable satlink. If there is stronger one, it must be hidden or deassembled.

Make a hacking roll

Probing is a Hacking + Exploit Extended Test with a threshold
equal to the target’s System + Firewall. The interval of the test is 1 hour
if done in VR, 1 day if done by AR. Once you reach the threshold, you
have found a crack in the system’s defenses that you can exploit to gain
access. You do not automatically gain access; you have found the chink
in the armor, but have not used it yet. These exploits do not remain
forever, and can be removed if found by the node’s security or if the
node is rebooted. As long as it remains in the node, you may use a Log
On action to use your hacked account. This process grants you a user
account. If you want a security account, increase the threshold by +3;
for an admin account increase it by +6.
The target node gets one free Analyze + Firewall (hacker’s Stealth)
Test when you first log on with the hacked account. If the node detects
you, an alert is triggered (Alerts, p. 238).

Your base target is 10 hits (+3 for security account, +6 for admin account), 1 hour interval
Give me your stealth rating.
If you'll wait for Cursor (by the way when do you wake up?) you can make a teamwork test.

just a reminder:
With User - you have access to main node functions and operate them
With Security - you haveread access to monitoring tools and can load/unload security programs
With Admin - you have full access to each and every file including AccessLog.

If it doesnt have signal more than 6 it doesnt matter, I was thinking about a little abuse of it for the jamming-on-the-fly

Id say, do it now. We will have the data needed, and we will aslo see their matrix security force. Say when, Ill cover your back.

The strongest you found out so far was the main assembly node - signal 5.

[Sichr]

well, that is my commlinks range. At least we are able to hack it from the distance, since mutual signal range must be maintained for hacking...

[Chrona]

well, that is my commlinks range. At least we are able to hack it from the distance, since mutual signal range must be maintained for hacking...

you can use your drone to bridge a signal gap

I wake up 8 hours after finishing the data search, when is that?

[Netzgeist]

My dicepool for this action is 12 dice. I will be doing this in VR, so the interval is 1 hour per test.

My Stealth rating is 6.

After one hour (12 dice) - 5 successes - no glitches
After two hours (11 dice) - another 6 successes - no glitches

So, after two hours, I'm in their node. Fast and [I hope] gracefull - Fractal's Style.

Just for precaution, I'm also doing a first Matrix Perception Test as soon as I get on the node:

Matrix Perception Test (8 dice pool) - 2 successes, no glitches

True! Thanx!

[Sentinemodo]

I wake up 8 hours after finishing the data search, when is that?

You've finished research by 10:00 PM so you should wake up about 6:00 AM. if you take 8 hours sleep.

[Chrona]

So you're hacking in before i wake up?

Just for precaution, I'm also doing a first Matrix Perception Test as soon as I get on the node:

Matrix Perception Test (8 dice pool) - 2 successes, no glitches

If they don't detect your log on action

You've finished research by 10:00 PM so you should wake up about 6:00 AM. if you take 8 hours sleep.

6am then
