Sorry load in at our outdoor stage has taken it's toll on me physically and mentally, I will get to posting right away. Scan 3 is fine, thanks.

You guys are gathered in front of the guard post in front of the marina still. The time in game is 2001, 1 minute after the scheduled meet time and you guys are still standing outside the marina.

gargamel> If you could change it from "halfway down the dock" to "halfway across the parking lot" that would be awesome. Thanks

what happens to nexus (cyber arms legs and torso) when the jammer is activated?  does he colllapse, or what's the deal with that?

No, cyber limb movements are controlled via direct neural interface,  He just cant' access the diagnostic functions and similar data from the limbs to his commlink.

Does the jammed reduce us to 0 signal giving us communication with each other so long as we are in the 3m range or to less than 0 shutting us out completely?

[fazzamar]

As I described, all of your perephial devices drop since according to SR4A pg 222 intra-pan devices and cyberware have a rating of 0, however no ones commlinks' signal ratings are reduced to 0 at 10m from the jammer, so you have access to anything in mutual signal range [each other, the closest wifi receiver, etc]. This is all assuming an item isn't wired to your commlink via a cable or a skinlink. Oddly enough, a jammer doesn't reduce the effectiveness of anything, it just completely blocks something if the jammer rating at the item's location is higher than the item's signal. It's all or nothing.

Ok guys, got some bad news for ya... seems that Rockopolis will be dropping out, taking your only mage, however I have someone who is going to take his place already, but bad news for Redwulfe, he talked me into allowing him to play a Technomancer, so your hacking skills won't be as useful. Thankfully I don't foresee that being a major issue for you..

[Triggvi]

All of meat puppets stuff is skinlinked to comlink.

[fazzamar]

Actually, I just realized that a jammer would prevent communication between you guys, not because your commlinks are blocked, but because your AR interfacing gear [contacts, earbuds, etc] are jammed, unless ofcourse you have it all skinlinked together.

Triggvi: Technically only your commlink is skinlinked, each piece of gear that you want to access through a skinlink has to have the option too. So if you want, since your character would have, we'll throw skinlinks on your Glasses [i assume she's wearing them despite not having them in your description of her?] and earbuds at a cost of 100 nuyen from your starting cash. Sound good?

[Triggvi]

no problem

[Redwulfe]

Technomancer, no problem the hacking is a secondary function and not a major part of the character.

[Larzarus]

Okay, I have add the character info about my Technomancer: Space to the character section of this run.

By the way, Space didn't look at anyone specific and is waiting for an reaction to his introduction at the parking lot.

[fazzamar]

I'm waiting for some reactions as well before I have Mrs J come back out.

Consider this Mr Gm. The comlinks are communicating to one another using the commlinks siganal rating. If any of us that have a non-wireless DNI to our comlink we are unaffected by the jammer. Our personal wireless pan maybe down for certain things that are low level wireless devices but sending text messages and such are not effected. They use the comlinks signal rating.
