While Meat Puppet talks with Ms.J, how hard would it be to hack the commlink from Ms.J on the fly?

[fazzamar]

Hard? Probably not very, however, getting caught hacking a Johnson's commlink is a guaranteed way to get the Johnson to tell you to frag off and have a hit team come after you later. I view it in the same vein as casting control emotions or influence on the Johnson.

I'll be making an IC post this evening and will be able to post a lot more regularly from now on. I didn't take any classes over the summer quarter, so I won't have school work bogging me down at night anymore, which provides me with a lot more posting time.

Also note Laz, that the 15+ threshold for locating hidden nodes is if you don't know where they are physically located. The test to locate a hidden node that you know the location of is a threshold 4 test (SR4A pg 230). Despite the fact that it doesn't say so, I'm going to rule that it is an Electronic Warfare + Logic (4, 1 Combat Turn) Extended Test instead of a regular Electronic Warfare + Logic(4) test, since it doesn't make sense that you could eventually find it if you didn't know where it was Extended Test (15+) but if you know where it is but roll badly you're SOL.

TL:DR Space will find her hidden node after 2 combat turns.

[Larzarus]

But he will has at least her and her bodyguard/driver's commcode for later use.

Btw: PAPER? This is so retro! [/color]

I assume Space was near enough to see if it's real paper or electronic. If you meant latter I will delete his last comment.

@Triggvi: Mr.J actually said something about a simple task prior to the prison infiltration.

[Triggvi]

kidnapping is not a small task before the infiltration.

[Larzarus]

oh come on, we are a bunch of evil-mad runners. Kidnapping a girl should be no problem , muhaha

but getting more money is always nice, too.

[Triggvi]

Meat puppet has an issue about kidnapped girls or could you tell from the post.

[Larzarus]

sry but I didn't got that detail about MP's issues. Only that she wants more money. But if you say someone can tell from your post and since Space stand's right next to MP I'm sure he will notice her issue.

[Larzarus]

My char has a data jack and a sim modul: Can he see the last message from Juri and answer to it without using his hands?

[Redwulfe]

if you com and datajack have skinlinks then yes or if they are hard wired, or if you are running ECCM on both, otherwise the datajack is being Jammed probably since most Jacks no-a-days are wireless.

[Larzarus]

can you only connect to one device for each data jack?

I suppouse Space will use hardwire for his SimModul. I read in Unwired (I think) that hackers usually prefer Trodes or Data jacks instead of Nanotrodes or connection via skinlink because the slow the connection between brain and commlink down (no dice penalties though).

I'm giving Triggvi and gargamel until tonight (10ish) to post a reply in the IC thread and then we're moving on.

I've been real lax about the 7 days for 2 posts rule, but after the meet ends, no more. Some are keeping up np, others not so much.

[Triggvi]

I have been waiting for people replies. Also life has been a bit busy.

[fazzamar]

It's no worries Triggvi.. I was just saying so if anyone had something they wanted to add/ask they need to do it... but we're moving on now. So no biggy.
