true. matrix scenes can drag for a while. Snake how do you feel about doing this on skype or gtalk?

btw. did you notice new theme on the forum? i am constantly logged on but today i've changed machines and entered the forum without logging on to see something decent actually. they installed it probably the same time as they broken the grey theme.

posting on the broken Gray was a pain, but as green is one of my favourite colours - me happy me so happy

ok. botnets need preparations to  be used. sprite will try to create one by loadng up programs as soon as possible.

he have come up with the following script for each new agent:
1. after loading load up a copy of yourself
2. load armor
3. load attack
4. if attacked retaliate else load copy of yourself

to allow the sprite to use node resources you need to create an account for the sprite with security priviledges this is software + edit(2) test
this will take one complex action to complete. you don't have the time to hide it, but there is no need for that as well.

Sprite has no agent program nor the attack/armor programs so it will use the ones used by the node.

if that is ok. we'll proceed. you may make initiative rolls for you and a Sprite as well.

You'll need to add 5) if can manage another program load Scan and 6) if can manage another program load Analyze. Using a random value to determine whether or not to scan for event data or the log file. Same goes for analyze to analyze the spiders, ice, and the node. 7) Loop back to 4.

Create security account for sprite: software(4) + edit(3) +2tm -2sustaining --> 7d6.hits(5)=3

Sprite Initiative: R(4)x3 -->12d6.hits(5)=3
Mouse Initiative: 11 -2sustaining -->9d6.hits(5)=2
Sorry guys, I know this is taking awhile, esp being a newb at netrunning.

no worries...

initiatives for two security hackers: 10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=2
hacker #1 10 + 5 => 15
hacker #2 10 + 2 => 12

initiatives for two IC: 5d6.hits(5)=4, 5d6.hits(5)=1
ic male ghost #1 5 + 4 => 9
ic female ghost #1 5 + 1 => 6

initatives summary:
[sprite 15][hacker #1 15][hacker #2 12][Mouse 11][male ghost #1 9][female ghost #1 6]

[Sentinemodo]

combat turn #1, initiative pass #1
master node load up is at 3/10 persona limits and 7/20 processor limit

sprite is up
loading up node agent (he chooses male ghost)
an agent will appear starting form the next IP with an initiative of 5 + 5d6.hits(5)=1 => 6

hacker #1 is up
running a program - reality filters presented this as a monk throwing out a cloud of white powder around the place where Omar icon's disapeared, the traces of feet appeared once the pwoder has settled

hacker #2 is up
delays action

[sprite 15][hacker #1 15][hacker #2 12][Mouse 11][male ghost #1 9][female ghost #1 6]

Mouse is up
I assume you leave the sprite and log into red wire node
make a matrix perception test

[snake_eyes]

Not sure how you will want to handle the bot-net creation process or how it determines the information pulled back or any combat that may occur before they decide to reboot the nexus node.
One CA down 14 to go.
Now what kind of goodies do we have in Red Wire's node? Looking for hidden nodes and other misc matrix perception (2 simple actions):

Computer(4)+Analyze(5)+2TM-2(sustaining) hidden nodes, general:9d6.hits(5)=4, 9d6.hits(5)=3
13 CAs left.

yes, Mouse will slip into Red Wire's node. I had already made perception tests. I just need to adjust the number of CAs remaining. Which is now 12 due to needing to create a security account for Sleuth

[Sichr]

Taken care of.
(Trace is possible only if there is connection between me and the node. Once Im logged off, there is no way they can do find me, it works, RAW, only to trace active user of the node - so you need to hit the hacker with IC to disable his logoff action and then run trace to find his exact physical location with approx 50 meters. Spoofing datatrail only increases the thresshold, so it takes longer to find the hacker, it dont disable the Trace at all. I cannot be Traced now...and even if I can, considering where I m right now, hi-security building complex, I dont care too much...there is thousand people around in the 50 meters area Trace reveals)

Really cool.
The only error I found was that it had somewhrre an IC with rating greater than system rating.
The only issue I have is that it is WAAY to easy setup for any hacker or technomancer runner nowadays. Even secondary class hacker on AR wouldn't have much trouble there. With basically only a couple more thousand nuyens you are able to boost it. But that is actually my greatest grief with sr4 now.

anyway you're right - by RAW there is no way he could trace you.

I have the same feeling about this. perfectly optimized Exploit with multiple options like piercing etc is not so cheap, almost 10K, but rating 5 hardware and proper system and firewall is just for the kiss. For this prices, I cannot see the reason why 80 procent of nodes doesn`t have bulletproof firewall and analyze...

[Kouryuu]

would it be possible to do a data search by defaulting, as omar has nothing to do atm. VR would give him bonuses and he should still be able to do more then me.
just so we get a bit faster to the meat of the game. 

[Sichr]

Im working on the Diamond hacking, probe takes time (if I remember corectly, I need 4 hours to go)
And Defaulting would be possible: Browser - 1...well I dont even have a browser

[Kouryuu]

And Defaulting would be possible: Browser - 1...well I dont even have a browser

me neither 
at least i know what to put on the next shopping list - a lot of softs.

Hey...Mouse hacked account in the HW/SW shop
Maybe he could get us some goodies.
Since Browser is common program, It would be possible to download it online anytime you want to.
What data do you need to search?

male ghost #1 delays action

female ghost #1 throws the powder on the Sleuth icon and it sparkles upon him.
complex action:
Matrix perception test: 14d6.hits(5)=5
Opposed with sleuth masking test Pilot(4) + Stealth(4) -> 8d6.hits(5)=3
free action -> triggers restricted alert against sleuth

hacker interrupts:
attacks the sprite: Cybercombat(4) + Attack(3) + VR(2) => 9d6.hits(5)=4
sprite defense: Response(3) + Firewall(6) => 9d6.hits(5)=7 dodged

male ghost interrupts
attacks the sprite: 14d6.hits(5)=3
sprite defense: Response(3) + Firewall(6) - succesful dodge(1) => 8d6.hits(5)=6 dodged

The sprite is rolling like hell O_o

end of the Initiative phase
