Might work, might not.  Do we have a demolitions expert on the team?  I don't think we do, but I haven't exactly memorized everyone's charcter sheets

  Jink is a steady hand at demolition.  Thus the dangers of splitting up a team of specialists becomes apparent.  Then again, 6 people walk into a building, it might have drawn attention.

We can have Mary or Johnny shoot the bomb with the commlink and send the feed to Jink.  If he recognizes the detonater maybe he could tell if my plan would work before I blow up the building prematurely.  I was hoping to give us more time to search the building but even if I can remove the bomb safely it's still gonna explode and that's gonna be the only building in the area with a false fire alarm.  Wouldn't have minded saving the people in the building too.

The bomb's not that big.  Only a few kilos of plastique in a metal box.  It won't topple the building.

I find it ironic that the first runner to actually point a gun at someone is the face

Iknorite? Especially when the somewhat impatient invisible RazorGirl is right there with him.

Ohhh I want to double post....

If I were to initiate combat, would I have to roll initiative, or can I assume I'll have a surprise round if the guard doesn't notice me? Obviously I'll roll initiative after the surprise round.

@Kontact:  Did Jink determine that a motion sensor was on the detonater?

@team:  Anything in that office that Jink could use for mechanical arms?

1) he used deductive reasoning.  It's a pro job, but a small bomb.  No way it's not got some kind of anti-tamper.

2) Neil's office is filled with little toy robots.  you'd take a penalty due to their rudimentary nature, but a chance to disarm the bomb is better than the certainty that it will go off anyway.

Ah ok so Kontact/anyone -  can you please give me a rough run down of how Jink would do that - this is my first rigger, I'm not fully across how he would be able to access that robot from Vanians (across the city, many blocks away?) .... cheers!

[Kontact]

Well, this isn't a strictly RAW situation, so you shouldn't be expected to just know how to handle things.

Yuri is logged on Neil's nexus with a security account, and she's not worried about covering her trail, so she can take a quick action to create a user account for you and provide you with the log-on ID.  At that point, you can get on the nexus where all the the little toy drones are subscribed and issue commands to them.  They're not really drones and you can't jump in, but your command program should work as whatever attribute you should need it to be for the purposes of the test.  Well, it will be yoru command program -2 for the rudimentary controls, and probably +2 for hotsim.  Just watch out with that hot sim.  If the node you're in gets blown up, you'll take dumpshock.

[Kontact]

Capturing a wireless signal is hardcore.  You'll probably want to either do a physical perception test to spot a tag (threshold 4) or run a find hidden nodes extended test.  The latter is basically a gimmie, but it won't find stealth tags, since they don't broadcast constantly.  Burst transmissions are much harder to detect.

Hey, when it comes to getting people to do what you want, sometimes you don't have time to argue.  Fire alarm and he is still trying to unload his lab - that equals professor chunks.  Besides - I have a plan.   

Also, let's be honest, the rigger pulled his gun first.

[Cato]

Do we have any idea what the good Dr. is trying to get out of his lab?

The thing he was carrying when he came running out of the lab was a sort of helmet, streaming with wires.

[Xarin]

Once a node is hacked without an alert, the book is a bit vague.  I do get the impression it can be re-accessed with the same exploit for a little while at GM's descretion until the exploit is found and fixed though.  So if I logged back on, would I need to re-hack the node, or just use the same ghosted admin account I hacked in under already?

[funkytim]

Well there's not much for me to do right now until Johnny and Mary are done at  Gibson Hall.  As Everyone leaves Vanian's I will astral project though to make sure no spirits are tracking us.

[Paeniteo Azrael]

I'm essentially waiting for Johnny to say "Shoot him." I don't want to cause havoc if there is no need. Also I haven't yet determined whether Dr. Leary has asked the guard for assistance. He does that and the guard will get shot.
