[OOC: The second sprite won't be able to act until the next initiative, same as with a spirit.  Can't enter in the middle of a pass.  Won't matter though.  Taking a Complex Action to change my commlink's access ID at the hardware level. Hardware + Logic (2).  This should boot all connections.  12d6.hits(5) → [3,4,2,1,2,6,4,4,2,4,2,6] = (2)  BTW, I'm not sure if an alert can be set against the persona which that node is creating.  That's like if it was blocking its own access ID.  It don't think there are any rules about this though..]

Sighing, Brian grabbed the screwdriver from his jumpsuit pocket and quickly reset his commlink's ID, crashing all connections.  Now he had to clean up before the enemy hacker reacquired his signal, spoofed a new ID, hacked back in, and started screwing around again.  Plenty of time to catch his breath.

"No one's going to check out the crash in the kitchen?  Really?  Frag is wrong with you people.."

[Sludig]

At that, Woofer races into the kitchen to see if Angel is alright.

[inca1980]

@Woofer:

You enter the kitchen and see Angel across from the kitchen counter he's holding a tray with coffee cups on it and staring at you wide eyed.  A all you can make out from behind the side of the fridge is a Colt Manhunter pressed into his left temple.  You hear an electronically modified voice softly say.

"Hold it right there."

[OOC: Roll initiative if you want to act.]

@B.B.:

You change your commlink's Access ID and all subscriptions become terminated as they do not know how to route to your PAN.  As soon as they reaquire your PAN's access ID though, the access logs still have vaild accounts for the technomancer.  Since your persona is loaded to your commlink you are not logged off and the changing of your access ID removed the restricted alert on you.

Mercedes watches as Woofer goes into the kitchen and then turns back to B.B. After a few moments, she'll yell out towards the kitchen, "Is everything okay in there?"

[Sludig]

*Woofer lowers his gun, slightly* "I'm sure we can talk about this, I Angel can be an asshole, but putting a hole in his head won't help matters."

[Walks Through Walls]

Walks through walls wonders about the hanging silence, and B.B.'s agitation. Getting jumped at the meet just isn't right. She looks at Mercedes and mouths, "I have a spell so we can communicate through our minds. Yes or no?"

[Kontact]

[OOC: I'd like to point out...

Brian scoped the place out with a professional's eyes, pinged his radar and scanned for hidden nodes.  Meanwhile he addressed their host, apparently the source of the Visteon job.

So, with UWB radar, I should know who or what is in the kitchen, and if it's a household drone or some such, I should have its ID to hack it.  I didn't roll the search for hidden nodes extended test, because, with 14 dice, I could buy the hits and have it done in 6 seconds.]

[FastJack]

Mercedes looks at the kitchen, not getting a response and B.B.'s concentration, then nods at Walks.

[inca1980]

@B.B.:

You are only able to see the intruder's hand and gun poking out from behind the Aztechnology Subzero^© refrigerator which you cannot see through and it becomes immediately apparent that one of the access ID's on your hidden node list must belong to him because it doesn't belong to any other typical household appliance or RFID tag.  You also find a smartgun node which is slaved to what probably is his PAN.  You start wondering how he got in, and an ARO from the apartments public node does show an open window in the kitchen. 

@Woofer:

A dark figure slowly appears partially from his cover behind the side of the fridge which faces the kitchen table.  He's wearing full KE combat regalia and his face is concealed by a helmet face mask.



The electronically augmented voice responds.

"Detective Tyrone Yancy...  Marcus Steele, you and your associates are under arrest for the murder of Jeshua Robinson.  Get face down on the floor with your hands behind your head or your employer gets one in the head."

[Walks Through Walls]

She Who Walks Through Walls puts a hand on Mercedes shoulder as if to say don't rush in there, drops her mask spell and casts mindnet.

spellcasting 5 + magic 2= 7d6
7d6.hits(5) → [2,3,5,1,1,6,1] = (2)
Well it's enough to link us up.
She pulls back her hand and via the link asks Mercedes, "Can you hear me know?"

(OOC Those of us in the livingroom cannot see what exactly is happening in the kitchen at this point correct?)

[FastJack]

Mercedes nods, Yes. Brian? Marcus? Are you linked?

[inca1980]

The whole team can only see Woofers back as he is just in the doorway to the kitchen.

[OOC: Knowledge skill Law 12d6.hits(5) → [5,4,6,5,1,1,5,1,4,3,4,6] = (5) Does this guy have any legal precedent for breaking and entering and taking hostages?  I kinda doubt it, but I don't know 6th world law.]

Brian loaded his spoof program and prepared to spoof the supposed detective's gun safety on.  As a backup, he cycled his encryption and sent out a message to his Fixer.
<<B.B.@[Mark Mothersbaugh's dead drop]:  M.M.  I'm sending 15,000 yen to an escrow and giving you the key.  If I contact you in the next few days, I'll probably need you to hire me a lawyer.  If not, I would like you to hire someone to kill the wife, child or other loved one of a man named Detective Tyrone Yancy.  Just deadpool it.  15,000 creds to whoever can "guess" the date that he/she/they die.  Hope it won't come to that, but I'm not leaving my cash for some pig fuck to take from me.  There's 2 grand in it for you.>>

[Walks Through Walls]

No. I have to touch them to include them. I was planning on bringing it up after the meet. Didn't know it would go sideways sorry.

She Who Walks Through Walls has a sheepish look on her face which almost hides the guilt she is feeling at leaving Marcus out on point alone.

[Sludig]

Woofer sighs, "let me guess, his father told you where to find us, the man that hired us to find him right?"
