Seeing the wall start to glow through the camera feeds on the lower level...

@Team: Either the cameras are malfunctioning or the walls on the lower level are glowing <<ARO: camera view of the walls.>> There is a lower window, but it seems to be glowing as well. The only other way out appears to be the main entrance <<ARO: upper and lower level store maps.>>
Things don't seem to be going well for the team inside, so I think I need to see if I can get into that guard's com link.
@Omar: I've got a fault agent clawing away in the Red Wire node. There are 2 spiders, 3 attack IC, and 1 analyze IC. Looks like they are getting close to figuring out my stealth algorithm so I am going to go for the guard's com link.

Mouse logs into the guards com link as public user and logs off the Red Wire node. Mouse will then proceed to hack on the fly to grant security credentials and then admin credentials. If I'm not mistaken, the log on and log off are two complex actions. (Or can I log off, then on?)

Mouse free action: texting
Mouse simple action: log off

The splattering of Ectoplasm in Sam's face was a undesirable turn of events, but then again, the joy of victory was so overcoming, that he did not even feel the ghostly cold of the last breath of the spirit. Even if he would have wanted to celebrate a bit more in his mind, there was no time, guards might be on their way, at least the mage would know of the banishment of the spirit. there was no time to lose, Sam activated his internal Radar and threw a quick glance at the radar to see if there are people coming their way, and making sure they stayed out of the sight of anyone who could even in remotely have a glance at them. Then he picked up the largest Box of BTL's which he could see, then supporting Ryker they left for the closest door.

If you are not finished with us here just say and I will edit this post.

[Sentinemodo]

The joy of victory was strengthening, but the radar immediately raised Sam's attention. Seven icons of the men was rapidly moving toward the lower level of the shop. They will be here within seconds. By the look of the dead guards around, you should be far away by then. With the lower entrance doors are blocked by that glowing barrier, it seems that the balcony is the only way exit, which mean you must pass by the incoming magician, hoping that the invisibility spell holds.

You got one minute or slightly less before they arrive.

EDITED: change the description

While Mouse tends to focus more on stealth than brute force, after observing how "old school" goes in and just starts pounding on applications run by IC and nodes, Mouse says to hizself, "Interesting tactic. Let's give it a try and see how it works."

Upon entering the node of the guard's com link as public user, he checks for the typical security measures (analyze programs, IC, personas, agents, etc.)
Matrix Perception: computer(4)+analyze(5)+2tm-2sus -> 9d6.hits(5)=3

If I find a node analyze program, I'll crash that:
hacking(4)+exploit(5)+2tm-2sustaining -> 9d6.hits(5)=1

Otherwise...I start hacking admin account:
hacking(4)+exploit(5)+2tm-2sus-> 9d6.hits(5)=4

[JDA]

Ryker, happy with his spirit, but realizing their is still work to do upon looking at SAMs radar and begins to follow Sam out of the red wire. Pm to other team members on the way out see if ya' ll can distract the welcome party that is coming to meet us.  Pull a fire alarm or whatever they need to do. Ryker verifies with himself and Sam that we do have that damn commlink correct?

The commlink isn't cheapest model. Way beyond what a common guard would be having. Based on the OS responses you assess it to be modified Hermes Ikon running modified Iris Orb OS. And he greet's you with a woman voice and an animated icon of woman tagged as Alice. She greet's you: "Welcome. I cannot talk right now. Please leave a message."
Behind her you see a wonderland. Real one - a green field of grass, rabbits, and foxes and little birds (all of them are just sculpture not programs) - there is a pleasant music in the background..

There is a rating 5 analyze program running.
There is a firewall upgraded to the level 5.
The crashing defense is Firewall(5) + System (4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=3 crashing attempt failed.
identifying attempt from the commlink node (opposed with hacking + Stealth) -> 10d6.hits(5)=4

also please make a willpower + logic test - 1

Seems, like the RedWire node battle is over as the ICs finally cleaved the sprite apart, but yet another erupted in the master node.

Happy with his spirit's performance and also atleast demonstrating some of his worth to the team. Ryker summons his spirit of man to clean up all of his astral signatures and informs Sam that they should leave together. Pm to team "we are on the way out". He Grabs a box of electonics on the way out as he is following close to Sam.

There is only one awakened person in the group that goes after Sam and Ryker. And it is a troll. He is healthy. The aura is strong, revealing passionate character. He has no implants, but the gloves he is wearing are a foci of some kind. Ryker is sure he will recognize his aura if he ever see him again.
