Sam and Ryker, our Joint Special Operatives

You are just envious we do not take you or your kid to have some.

All right guys - sorry for the delays - I've trying my head around the matrix chase rules. I've really wanted to have them implemented, and even though I have few ideas on how this should work WITHIN the current ruleset. it's taking too long to get it done.

as of now, we'll keep to standard rules.
you can trace the data, program, agent, sprite or persona icon and by that you get it's orignating node's access_id and location.

The roll for that is computer + trace - target's stealth (10 + proxy/anonymizers, 1 Complex action)
Sleuth rating 4 have 8 dices on track - 3 dices for Squirrel stealth give you the trace result in less than 10 seconds.

[Sentinemodo]

OK. My share of rolls:

Matrix perception for Deans apartement:
(oops I forgot that the first would be Scan)
EW(4)+Scan(5)+FullVR(2)- Extended test, Nodes in mutual signal range (15+, complex action) (11d6.hits(5)=5, 11d6.hits(5)=2, 11d6.hits(5)=4, 11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=7, 11d6.hits(5)=4, 11d6.hits(5)=2, 11d6.hits(5)=6, 11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=3)
Computer/analyze(5)+Analyze(5)+FullVR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=5)

just in case you haven't notice - you're rolling from VR

Detective Jack Diamond:
Just for the case it is needed - Stealth:
Hacking/Stealth(6)+Stealth(5)+FullVR(2) (13d6.hits(5)=6)
Trace:
Computer(3)+Trace(3)+FullVR(2) (8d6.hits(5)=2, 8d6.hits(5)=1, 8d6.hits(5)=2, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=1)
Computer(3)+Trace(3)+FullVR(2) (8d6.hits(5)=1)
6th complex action (fuuu...!) I got his AccessID and his current location. Im interrested in both.

to start the trace you need to get his access_id based on commcode - it's fairly easy - you just need to browse the Knight Errant Matrix Service Provider for it.
You got his access_id and location quickly - he isn't running stealth.

Matrix Perception:
Computer/analyze(5)+Analyze(5)+FullVR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=3)
Since I know his AcessID, Id like to knowthis 3 things:
Firewall rating,
System Rating,
Access to another node

he is using Knight Errants OS - FW5, system 5

For the next part:
If he is on the Mutual signal range, Ill do this in Deans apartement. If he is somewhere else, I would need to send out the FlySpy to bridge so it should take a bit longer...

Probing for Admin Account:
Hacking(4)+Exploit/o(6)+FullVR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=8, 12d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=4)

I suppose I`m out for 3-4 hours...

you started probing

When conducting any extended test-matrix related--if you have 3 passes per round, do you make 3 rolls or just 1 per time interval?

[snake_eyes]

In matrix terms 10sec seems like it may be taking too long to trace... I don't know, my character should. Mouse will assist his sprite, esp. to make sure the squirrel didn't dump its payload anywhere and clean up his and the sprites datatrail once I get the location (virtual and physical) I'll IM the team.

Do I need to roll anything?
I'll get back to Deans' node after

Ooops. Major mistake on my side. So consider this happens AFTER I`ve ordered that cofee...so my IC post stands: WZUUUUMM...what the hell was that...I didnt have a chance to react or response on this. I hope Mouse will have better luck.

Scan and Analyzing Deans node happens when Im laying down on the bed in VR...

About the Diamond..we have his Commcode so yes, Ill need to make a call first to begin the trace...to establish link...

[Kouryuu]

tomorrow evening will leave on a 3 day trip so would like to make some rolls in advance as I may write up some small things, but will have difficult to make links and other stuff from my phone.
go out, spotting good places for stakeouts, searching them/looking at them/investigating them.
speaking to people who work around the house and near the gate
asking staff at nearest fast food joints about recent regulars or strange man on the night
stuff like that.

just make a wish-list and I will try to roll all of them tomorrow midday.

Ok, just had a call, i must leave in 10 hours, so if you still can post the roll request before i go to bad, if not You have the honour to NPC Sam, in the way i described in the post, hope it will not slow the game down, or get us in a "planing desert".

[Sentinemodo]

Have fun on your trip. Should be good.

ok and you have fun playing!

[Sentinemodo]

Well...since I rolled my Marix perception prior to ordering coffee, didnt I catched a note of it? I had some successes for oposed Hacking+Stealth (or firewall+stealth) roll, I still need some results from that perception...and the same as when Im perceioving that detective, Id like to know if there are hidden links to another nodes...
Otherwise, if Agent simply logged off, it cannot be stopped, maybe traced, if I catched its AccessID. Since Im AR only at this time, both agent and Mouse will be faster than me so I`ll wait untill his post...
Tell me, if I should know (if knowledge needed i`ll roll) is this node hardwired or is it wireless only???

You haven't noticed him. with the first glance. You found him because he dropped masking and started to run with his paydata
Both of you can try to trace him -> Computer + Track

My Sleuth sprite: Computer(4) + Track(4) = 8d6.hits(5)=5
You go Sherlock Holmes!

One service completed, one service left.

[Sentinemodo]

About the Diamond..we have his Commcode so yes, Ill need to make a call first to begin the trace...to establish link...

You don't need to call just resolve the mapping. SImilar to the current DNS system. this service is provided by MSP (Matrix Service Provider) - it does so automaticaly when you make a call establishing the connection, but you can just check that without making a call., consider it doen - you have the access_id - it required one complex action. and started a trace after that, few seconds later you got results

[Sentinemodo]

When conducting any extended test-matrix related--if you have 3 passes per round, do you make 3 rolls or just 1 per time interval?

You make roll for every interval. if it is a complex action interval you make three rolls per combat round (3s)
I tend to use aggregates (trading 4 dices per hit on large pools - such as when doing tracing when nothing special happens) - when time is of the essance and each complex action is worth your life, then we do so roll by roll.

[Sentinemodo]

...you'll need to roll for the next round of Hacking(4) + Exploit(5) + TM(2) -2(sustaining) and possibly for the third. The issue is that you probably won't make it (the node has some good defences) unless you use your Edge for that.

If probing isn't going to help improve his chances of success then I will consider either theading another complex form to improve my exploit or spending a point of edge.
I'll make three rolls to start with for the probe just in case...
Hacking(4) + Exploit(5) + TM(2) -2(sustaining):
9d6.hits(5)=4, 9d6.hits(5)=2, 9d6.hits(5)=2

Out of curiosity...is there a resonance signature to this firewall/node?
Computer(4)+Analyze(5)+TM(2)-2(sustaining)=9d6.hits(5)=2

Probing will greatly improve your chances - the trouble is it will take few hours to complete (about four probably). Hacking on the fly will probably rise alarm. Other faster solution could to compile a sprite to hack in and create an account for you

As far as the resonance signature - there is none you can find (the base target is 3)

[Sentinemodo]

Alright guys, for time being i'm pretty well shut down on magical activities will take a secondary look out role. Will also monitor both hackers and be prepared with a heal spell if necessary.
Question on rules,  if they are in the matrix are they willing subjects for a heal spell?

Unless they specifically say no, I assume they are willing subjects to any of your spells.

You can see that Mouse isn't very well. His aura indicates pain (possible brain damage) in his head.

[Sentinemodo]

Distances:

you're about 20 minutes ride (cab) + calling time (10 minutes) + border crossing (10 minutes) from the LuCom headquarters (one border crossing)
and about 30 minutes ride (cab) + + calling time (10 minutes) + border crossing (10 minutes) from the Happy Canyon Mall (it's 10 kilometers farther but you go via HighWay, so it will go smoothly unless something ill happens)

If you go together (and Sam is talking) there is no need to roll, if you separate, thos without Sam need to make a crossing roll (Fake SIN + Charisma + Etiquette (2))
