WE ARE BACK!!!

[Mirikon]

WOOOOOO!

I am on canaries right now until end of the week  so posting is going to be scarce.

Anyway what's the rating of the jammer? It must be weaker than the jane's commlink signal or her message wouldn't made it through to our links.

[Thermo]

The jammer isn't a standard model, as far as you can tell. The jammers you're used to block pretty much everything, but this one seems to pulse rapidly on and off, almost like interference caused by an old fashioned electric motor with bad windings. You remember an old MacGuyver where he used a metal building as a gaussian cube to block the signal from a bad guy's walkie talkie and it all makes sense. Jane's pulse transmission came through since she was so close to you (and her commlink is a nice one, apparently), but a longer signal sent to activate a remote bomb would be blocked, especially if the transmission came from outside the building. Functionally, it acts as a Rating 3 jammer inside the building, and a Rating 6 jammer to block anything from outside. This also includes any transmissions leaving the building, of course.

Hyena has a signal 1 link IIRC. So he might be out of the loop. 

[Sentinemodo]

Nope. That was Imp  sorry for confusion.

I have a signal 3 link, so I'm still pretty much out, especially since I can't put my satlink up here.  But she doesn't know, as she did get a message.

[Thermo]

You all got Jane's burst transmission. The jammer seems to be jamming transmissions into and out of the building far more than those within it. You're in the middle of the building and you're close together, so the transmission made it through, but you don't know if you'll have such luck if you're standing right next to the wall.

[farothel]

I've modified my post with the test results (it doesn't show as a new post on the forums).

I'll see with the commlink when the problem is there.  I can always simply call out, as we are in the same room.
Also, I don't mind that the Igbo are coming my way.  Yoruba and Igbo are not always the best of friends, so busting a couple of Igbo heads is not a real problem for Hyena.  In fact, it might be more of a problem to not kick their asses.

[Mirikon]

Sorry, been half dead after pulling a lovely run over the weekend where I was up for about 36-40 straight hours. Not so bad while you're in it, but I haven't been able to think straight for a couple days.

[Thermo]

seems that everyone's itching for some combat.


I WILL OBLIGE

[Sentinemodo]

Thermo, consider Jerry delaying his action. I'll wait for Jane's action before mine.

Disregard that, whatever she did, I'd do the same, so no point in waiting.
Perhaps we should roll init.

ok everyone, so here's a recap of the situation:

You're in a rectangular metal airplane hangar with a bunch of people in it. There's a long corridor down the middle with doors on both ends. One is the door you walked through from the airplane, the other is on the far wall presumably leading outside. We'll call the door you came in South and the door leading out North. Along the West wall are a series of street vendors with makeshift tent stalls, selling food, drinks, maps, trinkets, etc. Along the East wall is a row of mouldering cardboard shipping boxes approximately 1-1.5 m tall. Behind the boxes is a metal door with a camera above it. You all start towards the South wall in the center of the hanger, approximately a quarter of the way up from the South end. At the midpoint of the hanger is a group of tourists and travelers mixed up in a cloud of reddish dust from the skinny motorcycles that wiped out during the chaos. It is believed that several of the travelers are likely to have cybereyes that recorded the transformation and caught Jane's face on camera. There is a jamming device that seems to disrupt communications at the perimeter of the building. It doesn't seem to affect burst transmissions used for communication but it may have more of an effect close to the walls.

The Igbo made a break for the row of boxes, running around the North end to try and get behind them. They're terrified, fully believing that they pissed off a fragging dragon. They're unlimbering their AK-97's as they run, but probably won't be ready to shoot for a couple seconds. Hyena decided to jump over the boxes to try and rip the camera's cord out of the wall. Iceblade dropped the illusion and summoned his blade master spirit, getting ready for combat. Jane bolts towards the North-West, away from the Igbo and towards the scrum of tourists, apparently hoping to disappear behind the crowd. Jerry pulls his Predator and sends his Fly Spy drone towards the three travelers, looking for nodes that could indicate commlinks linked up to recording devices. As long as he keeps the drones away from the walls he should be able to keep control of the drones.

Everyone roll initiative.

Initiative: Reaction(5) + Intuition(5) + Wired Reflexes(2) -> 12d6.hits(5)=3 -> 15

Thermo, it'd help if you could draw a map of some kind. How long and wide is the hangar? The way I understand the jammer's function by it's description is that they are place d in the walls a signal 6 repeaters linked with a wired link. They're then made into on-the-fly jammers, which turns them into 6m radius spheres of jamming, that is reducing itself for every five meters. which means we are roughly 15 meters away from the wall, right now.
