Yeah, I probably can.  It'll definitely be a roll to use edge on.    We're talking mostly Exploit, Sniffer, and Spoof, right? Some Edit? (Pardon my ignorance on what programs do what; I don't usually play the tech.) I've got all that.  She's just not built for Matrix combat.

I assume you have to talk to the spider, when he trys to call the real eletrican:

Scan to find the outgoing call
Sniff to intercept it
Con to impersonate the eletrican

Or scan to find the call, sniffer to intercept it, and exploit to route it to someone else's commlink.  I've got the tools, Tech school background, and 3's and 1's in the appropriate skill groups, so I could possibly do it, otherwise we've got to have someone with a decent con.

If there's something to respond to I'll try to get something in in the morning before I leave, but otherwise it'll probably be around this time when I can get back online after Six Flags.

Cool, thanks for the help.  My lack of decent rolls and knowledge really leads me to understand the how important it is to have  someone who really knows how to play a hacker on the team.  Should have taken Cracking a little higher, but it didn't make sense to me given her background. Oh well, live and learn.

[Xzylvador]

Hey, we're all beginning 'runners, right?

As for the test... I'm not sure you have to take the -1 die for every extra test here. I know it's often applied to matrix data searches because otherwise a hacker would always know everything about everyone. But for things like sniffing and such I think you just keep rolling all the dice, the test's just there to decide how long it takes to find what you're looking for.
In the end, it's all up to the GM. (The -1 per test is an optional rule in any case)

[benhatt]

Cool.  Yeah, I was erring on the side of caution here.  If Crash_00 says that I can do the roll without the -1 each time then I will happily reroll it and edit the text.

[Onion Man]

Okay, I'm essentially gone until 11ish central, so don't point anything game-stopping at me unless it's getting close to there.

Assume otherwise that Orson goes with the flow.  Everything he has is loaded stick n shock, Crusader in the concealed holster that comes with the armor, AR-97 tucked against the door until it's time, then slung under the longcoat.

[farothel]

I have the conn... I mean, con. 
I have 4 charisma, 3 con, +2 from first impression.
It should be enough, especially if they are expecting a team of people.
I just checked and I should get a +2 if the guard is non-sapient (and aren't they all  ).

[farothel]

I think everybody is there.  I've assumed that Doc will drive with me.  If you don't want, let me know and I'll change my post.

[Crash_00]

Ya, don't worry about the -2 on extended rolls, the -2 is for trying again on normal tests. Example: Searching for a post on the forums, you'll find it eventually its just a matter of how much time it will take, is an extended test. Conning your way past a guard is a pass/fail test. You can try to fix the situation, the standard "Hey not so fast..." but its a bit harder now.

[Larzarus]

Waiting for the response from the others, Oni sends another short message:
Hey, why are we so sure that the camera man will call the electricans again and not for example the caretaker or so?

Code: [Select]

It won't matter who he calls if Boosts can intercept the signal.

In fact, if he calls someone we haven't thought of, we can keep
him occupied on the call long enough to get in position, spoof a
work order to my commlink and proceed from there as if he had
called in a tech.  We're pretty well relying on some bleeding clockwork
to keep this plan on the rails anyway.

Play it by ear at this point

Sorry, misunderstandable english from my side, the question was more about, why should the camera man make the outgoing call and not someone else from the zoo
personal.

About the time frame: Shortly before the KE change should be better: cops who want to go home or to the next donut stop aren't motivatet so much. During the change we have twice the number of cops coming and going.

[Onion Man]

It'd be the spider's job to keep tabs on the cameras.  When one goes down he'll be the one who has to either call a tech or report it to the higher ups.  In the middle of the night, I'd bet on call a tech before call the boss, especially with them still being under construction, but it could go either way.

[Larzarus]

Then we definitly should shut down the cameras instead of some fences or other zoo electronics. anything else will be probably ignored until next day.

[Xzylvador]

Just say the word and Rafa and ghouly will take out the cameras.

@Chrona: The thing about falling to certain death because of your nice chameleon suit... I might just be joking >:p

[benhatt]

Just waiting for Crash_00 to report on what I saw around the cage so I can tell you guys.  After that I'll try to do the wireless spoof/sniff/exploit before meeting up with the van people.  From my hiding place in the trees I don't think I am so far away from them.

[Onion Man]

@ Everyone "Rafa/Nameless you're clear for the time being.  I've spotted the three guards. We have one dealing with the construction crew, the other two are on the other side of the zoo, patrolling the parking lot and reptile area.  Their dart shooting drone is off at the moment, so don't worry about needles in your asses.  I also have the three light, generic RFID tags identifying us as electricians.  Critter, Doc, Pig, Oni, which of us is rolling disguised as the crew and which of us are rolling in under the cover of darkness? I'm in the trees on the west side of the road to the zoo.  I'll stay here until I've grabbed the call that goes out, then I'll come meet you guys. Where are you? If I can't grab the call,  I'll stay here to help with the ambush. Sound good?

@ Jake Ellis "Met your guy, got the tags.  Gracias, hombre, but next time could you find a delivery boy and little less drugged out?

Nervous about the next part of the plan (and her abilities to pull it off) Boosts kisses the Saint Frances of Rome and Saint Nicholas of Myra medals that hang around her neck.

 

This is why I asked where everyone was last night.  It's gotten a bit confusing as to who is where.

Pig, and anyone riding with him, is cruising the major, safer roads 10-15 blocks away to be in 'Fast response time' if the call portion of the plan works.  I'll drive right up the south road when it's time to rock.
