I'll be posting soon. Kind of hectic around here so I've been distracted, but I should have some time tonight to sit down and focus so I can type.
Next time you're down on your knees, and you're expecting a slap, it might be me in that mask, and I just might have a bat.

Jerry, let me know what topics you'd like to spend your remaining 7 hours looking into. Might be Atlantean Corporation, Ms. Johnson, Samriel, or any number of other topics. Alternately, you might spend it trying to hack the linguisoft kiosk. Or hacking Jane's commlink. Wouldn't advise that one, but hey, that's just me talking. Or you might want to try and clean up the message that Hyena forwarded you. On a side note, the Matrix rules aren't as bad as I'd thought (I used to play 3rd Edition.. the Matrix part of that game was a total nightmare to GM)

So, while I'd love to just give you the data...

...you're under a time constraint, and ya gotta earn pay-data, chummer.

There is an excellent gathering of matrix actions by Smoo here
I need to know what are the matrix attributes of the Jane's commlink and kiosk.

what would i need to roll to clear up the signal from Hyena?

btw. I am dropping the signal encryption from my link leaving only the databopmb on entry and node encryption running. I'll be running stealth on my node instead.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Jane's commlink is in passive mode. A quick scan indicates that she is using a Transys Avalon commlink, unknown operating system (can't tell unless you get deeper). Remember that you've been talking loudly about hacking each other's commlinks right in front of Jane. :)

The kiosk is considered to have Matrix attributes of 3.

In order to clean up the signal, I'd need you to roll either Computer or Electronic Warfare skill. If you have any software that you think would be useful you can ask me and I'll let you know if it adds to your dice pool. Your base threshold for hits is 3.

Huh? When did I talk anything IC about hacking her link?

Thermo, I don't need to know the OS name - but I can see her node's attributes with a simple matrix perception test. I've had enough time to do it carefuly (ie spending on it entire three seconds to perform repeated tests, but I can roll if you prefer. on buying hits I'd get 2 hits per simple action Computer 1 + Analyze 5 + VR 2 -> 8 dicepool -> 4 hits per initative pass -> 12 hits per combat turn
This is enough to know exact values of System, Firewall, Response, Signal, encryption of node or no, databomb presence (if encrypted), which is what I want to know.

This is a list of possible pieces of information you can ask about icons and
nodes when you use Matrix Perception. It is a representative list, but not an
exhaustive one.
• Access ID of a user or independent agent
• Alert status of node
• Edit date of a file
• Function of a control icon
• Hidden access to another node
• Matrix damage taken by icon
• Presence of a data bomb
• Programs run by persona or agent
• Rating of one Matrix attribute
• Type (file, user, agent, program type, etc.)
• Whether a file or node is encrypted
• Whether a Trace is running


For the signal - I'll go with Electronic Warfare skill and probably Analyze program, I've Math SPU that helps with EW

That is true. We didn't ICly discuss hacking eachother's links, beyond Jerry wanting admin access to our links, and the rest of us saying "Hell NO!"

"@Jane: Do you know anything else on that Samriel Lockwood?"


Will I get the Jane's reply to my question? (I think I am asking for the fifth time or so about it).

Sorry for a small delay ;)

I think that if this question is answered we can move on to Lagos.  At least, I'm not going to do anything on the plane anymore but catch up on sleep.

Sorry it's been a little slow lately, I've been working a lot and have been trying to post small updates during the week so I can post the big ones over the weekend. Just replied to most of Jerry's requests, let me know if I missed anything. You've got enough time for one or two more rounds of searching (or other activities). I'd like to get the legwork wrapped up this weekend, but if it takes a little longer we'll still play it out.

I am only missing the exact stats of Jane's commlink.

While browsing for the atlantean foundation, the focus areas might be that Sheila Blatavska, Samriel Lockwood and it's connection with Mitsuhama.
if the time allows I'll try to find more info on our Jane by the photo.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

do you mean the photo of Samriel Lockwood?

No, no. Photo of Jane.
But if it would be possible to find a photo of Samriel, I am all for it.

The only photo so far has been the one that Jane showed you of Samriel Lockwood. It is still on the table where Jane laid it down for you to look at.
