p.s. Sam is on the ground behind a heap of rocks, if the bullets go trough the rocks, they lose damage done to the target right?

sniping trough a wall has been on my action plan, so what about this good cover?
or is part of Sam outside cover?

This is not a wall - this is a heap of rocks, that pulled down from the side and ceiling - large enough to be hidden behind it.

From the mechanics POV - you're treated as behind good cover. But also unaware of attack which means I'll treat that as success test, and just remove 4 dices from the attack pool.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Actually Lips know you're alive - he was assensing you or at least seen your aura while in Astral calling the spirit - he is the only one I think who knows you're alive..

And Fractal assumes that too, from the inmformation you provided him in the perception test I made, but is not so sure.

A little busy right now; I could read all the posts in OOC, but will only read IC and comment on them in two hours or so.

Oh yes, correct - Fractal, was also observing in detail so he does know.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Changed IC, a big rock is flying towards the drone now.

I didn't assume that, painting a simly on the rocks surface takes a free action.

With no actuall knowledge on the others, the com restarting, Sam took the attention of the drones on him, in the mindset that someone from. The team might be under attack.
So much for the situation from Sam's prospective.

It was meant as a bit of RP, but ended up costing a lot more then I would ever expected.

I, Kouryuu, am very thankful for what you are doing for Sam, but remember not to Metagame.
You are not sure if Sam is live or not.
Lips - you care for your spirits and sam is a stranger, sacrificing one of them while not sure Sam is alive.

Even if that would mean enroling a new char, remember it's shadowrun, so Omar is right here.

Actually Lips know you're alive - he was assensing you or at least seen your aura while in Astral calling the spirit - he is the only one I think who knows you're alive..
Yep he might, but he was protective on his watcher, not throwing him in harms way, but he put his air-spirit up to be rearranged in Swiss cheese style.  :-\
sorry had forgot you were astral at that point but this still is your first run with Sam.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and expect nothing!

I really though that the Spirit would stay alive long enough for Lips to call him back after some hits, ... to save the spirit.

It probably would last longer if not the background count, -1 to all attributes is a bitch.

I'll wait for you to confirm the assumption I made, if not I'll proceed to the final IP in this CT.

Good assumption, only Omar needs just single IP to drive, so he is free to do other things in other IPs....like loading Spoof and Decrypt
So no other actions in IP 2,3

@Kour: Hey man I understand, you know me for a while, and Im not the nicest guy you ever met, well still I respect you...just being disapointed that what was about to be a good way to show that the team is well prepared (Fractal said to that coyote that we work to amaze :) ) and able to get the best of the situation, well this ended up with bloody chaos and man down situation. I know part of it is my own doing, disabling Sams wireless comunication with the jamming and also his radar partialy was a good oportunity to glitch. and it happened. I was surprised a bit because Sam was always double checking everything and suddenly he sprung into action without any attempt to assess the situation. Well this is shadowrun, like you say, and even if characters die sometimes, it takes more than a few bullets to kill the character while the (almost) medic is present and possible magic healing is available...
there really was no way, without his radar he had difficulties to perceive the team, the stone throwing meant a addition to the plan or possible plan change, and waiting for communication to be re-established took to long, he either risked his life by taking the role of bait or waited until "possibly" the one under attack was long since dead.
If you had uses the VO** protocol to inform him before doing something different, then it could have ended differently.
but as for that point he had to act, at least in his mind,
P.s. meta game wise, you know that Sam would never let Omar Die, and never really shoot Mouse, But he is the kind of person who Uses Social interactions to get the results he needs.

this said,

Sam knew that team being under attack is less then 50% probable, but he could not risk it to be true. so he acted on a feeling and him dying here would be moral retribution for playing the strict guy.  ;D

I have the feeling, that the drone won't make the same mistake twice and shoot at a second flying rock instead of Sam.

you know, simple visual check with thermographic vision would reveal, that nobody from team is in line of fire, when spressive fire begun. Sam didnt even look over his shoulder.
I was really confused of what happened that I`ve lost two CTs returning to meat and going back to drone...not just Omar...even I was :)
And the thing is that he still see the hack as the only way to save you, because drones would last approx the same as the spirit lasts..1IP each (they have the same body/armor values) and even if we sacrifice them to draw fire, it is not enought to transport Sam to safety :(

And...
You are not dead...yet ;)

And can you use another levitation to move Sam back to safety? What is Levitate speed? Hitsx20 meters per CT?

You know he was used to Ryker "invisible buddy" - who usually just went ahead of him, when he was crawling slowly :P
and without radar Sam is effectively blind
