Rafa told the group what he knew about the A-Kidz. Despite it being useful information, he was almost embarrassed knowing about them. "So yeah, just some things I picked up and somehow managed to get stuck, you know. I don't give a flying fuck about these kind of wanna-be rich kids. Pathetic bunch of useless drekheads who think the crap SINless folks in the Barrens have to go through in order to survive is cool and exciting, up until the moment they get bored with it and simply go back to their warm homes, cozy beds and fancy foods. Really hope we get to rough up these pricks."

The pito show, does it update weekly, daily, hourly? Can it be used to find out where they're hanging out? Or can it be traced or something? <nudge Panther>

Seems possible that Ms.Daee could know some of those guys not knowing they are from a gang... I'll get to the party and try to find out something from some social talking... I'm kinda good at that, Freya said to others and stood up ready to go and conquer the world of showbiz.

[farothel]

Panther was already doing that, trying to find their feed and going from there to unravel their lives.  It was like a sweater: once you had a thread you could start unraveling it.  She started from their Pito feed and also started up some extra searches on her favourite news nodes, as they might have been in the news.
"I'll go out there mingle a bit," she said, "I can do a basic search now, and I'll do a more in-dept one later tonight."
She still wanted to see some more people at the party, and maybe have a couple of drinks.


OOC: I'm not sure if it's applicable, but I have matrix gangs knowledge.  They do have a heavy matrix presence, so it might be.  Kour, your call
intiution 4 + matrix gangs 2 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=1) (not that I will know much).

Searching on the matrix (datasearch).  I don't know the interval, but I'm not going to be looking for more than about 1 hour or so, at least at the moment.  Let me know the interval and I'll do some extra searches back in the hotel.
electronics (group) 4 + browse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=4)

"You girls's just kidding, right? We've got maybe until tomorrow afternoon to get this job done and you ladies think the best thing to do is staying here all night partying?" Rafa shook his head in disbelief.
"I mean, I get that this is like some wet dream come true for some girls, all dressed up, livin' large, partying with high society and all that crap, but we've got a job to do. We should be hitting the streets and getting our hands dirty. We've got names, we've got an address... Shit, I can dance like the best o'ya, but my moves are a lot smoother with some money in my pockets, you know what I'm saying?" He looked at Caretaker and Ahuechei with something like desperation in his eyes.
Most of all, Rafa just wanted to get the hell away from these snobs before he couldn't restrain himself anymore and broke some posh bastards nose.

[Sparkling Dragonfly]

Ahuechei shook his head. He completely agreed with the ork, to his knowledge, there had been far too much partying already.

Be careful, he advised his new companions, do  not underestimate this gang. I have no idea how exactly they got to Miss Daee, but they had been laying in wait for her. That is for sure. Whether she knew them before, or they just met that night when she slipped away from me, I cannot know, but I suspect she knew perfectly wel where she was going that night. Perhaps a glamurous party was simply not enough for her. When I found her... He hesitated for a moment, casting a look around. When I found her, she was heavily intoxicated. And there wasn't just alcohol involved, as far as I could tell.

[Xzylvador]

Rafa pretended to be shocked. "One of these goddeses has weaknesses and flaws just like a normal person?! Impossible!", he squeeled, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But damned, now I really want to watch that footage."
He shrugged his shoulders. ""But there ain't no way their parents money and wanna-be lifestyle compares to the kind of training you can get on the streets. These posers will be pushovers, trust me. Anyhow, looks like the ladies already made up their minds. Guess I better find me a new drink."

Stepping outside, Rafa noticed one of the drones not act quite like the others. It seemed to be following them specifically, not just taking images of anyone who left the building.
@Team: "One o' these drones is tailing us. I got 100 nuyen that says I can take it out with a single blow. Any takers? I'll even let you choose which limb I use."

Rafa's mad dancing moves. (14d6.hits(5)=5)
--- Second part is assuming we stay for an hour and a half to let Freya do her thing and Panther run her searches and then step outside. ---
--- Also assuming I'm picturing these drones right. Billiard-ball-sized drones zooming around like flies on a dungheap. ---
--- If either of these assumptions is wrong, I'll delete/correct. ---

You shouldn' t worry that much, Rafa! It won't take more than an hour or two! We know perfectly well that there is job to be done... I just want to use this opportunity to find out who the hell is that Daee-girl and these people might know some useful stuff and they might be drunk by now so quite talkative, Freya smiled at him, knowing that it wouldn't count at all, but anyway - there was no use of quarelling amongst the group anyway.

Sounds like fun - why not! I'll put 100 nuyen saying you will miss it in just one blow! Freya giggled.

[farothel]

"Maybe I can break into it first and see who owns it and why it's following us," Panther said, When I'm done with that, Rafa can still shoot it.  Just drive around a bit until I've done my job, okay?"

She first did an assessment of the drone, checking out what it looked like.


First, I'm not sure if it's needed, detect hidden node.  According to p230 it's a electronic warfare+scan (4) test if I know where it should be (and I do, as I can see it).
electronic warfare 4 + scan 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5) =4, 10d6.hits(5) =1, 10d6.hits(5) =2, 10d6.hits(5) =4)
I have it after the first roll.

matrix perception (I'm going to look for 4 simple actions):
computer 4 + analyse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=7)
With in total 16 hits, I think I can know just about anything there is to know without actually hacking in.  Mostly I'm interested in it's 4 matrix attributes, the access ID of any users or independent agents, programs running, whether it's encrypted or not

[Kouryuu]

The small drone, ignoring the big stars and watching just the team came as a surprise, so after making some bets, Rafa went on to get close to it, you might say that the drone did not really was watching him, but  how much do you know, you can not really tell on a thing that size.

Rafa went out of the way faking a real emergency, in with the nearby bushes would do. his faking would have worked much better if not the paparazzi drones taking so many pictures of him heading to a bush, there might be a sensation next morning, one more what made it so problematic to sneak up to the drone was the fact that the whole ground was littered with fragments of shot down drones, you almost got the feeling that you are walking on thin ice, as there is a cracking noise on each step.

When Rafa is ready to strike the drone, he first verify that Panther has all she wanted, then a very fast and precise roundhouse kick tries to add one more destroyed drone to the collection of this Clubs grass.


Full Melee Defense
Pilot 5 + Defense 4 + Defense 4 = 13d6.hits(5) = 5 in the last moment the drone manages to avoid being hit, then it starts to fly up - out of the danger zone.

There is a bang!
13d6.hits(5) = 4
Rafa is attacked by the Dalmatian drone.
Following the attack on Rafa the Clubs defense drones Take off and start rushing the single dalmationa in the sky some 250m above ground.

Roll INI if you want to do something, but the drones are on the run.
Also, Sent do i read correctly you have no Dodge skill, and no Dice in dodge at all?
or is my Chummer just actin out on me :S

[Sentinemodo]

That was entertaining ... now that we informed people who observe us that we know we're being observed without gaining anything in the process, can we move on?

[Sparkling Dragonfly]

Yes, let's move on. I believe the club's drones will take care of the dalmatian drone. It is a trespassor, after all, Ahuechei kept looking around him for guards coming out to asert the situation. He hoped his presence would keep the security calm.

[farothel]

"Something stinks about this," Panther said while she looked over the results, "This is a military grade drone.  Way too much for simple paparazzi.  Let's check the other one."


Same thing, finding the drone.
electronic warfare 4 + scan 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=6)

matrix perception (I'm going to look for 4 simple actions):
computer 4 + analyse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=3)
first thing is to see if the ID is the same as the previous one, then the same things as before (4 matrix attributes, the access ID of any users or independent agents, programs running, whether it's encrypted or not)


Next she started a trace on the user.  She wanted to know where all this heavy hardware came from.


Track.  I've done 10 rolls.  Normally I only need 10 treshold, but you can make it more difficult, so therefore a couple more rolls.  If I succeed and there's a wired connection at the end, I learn the exact location, otherwise it's within about 50metres.  If he uses geo-synchronous satelites, I can't locate him, but then he has a severe lag and I can do all sorts of things without him being able to do something about it.

computer 4 + track 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=2)

[Xzylvador]

"!#@* this!", Rafa shouted while adrenaline, shame and anger flowed through his body, washing away the fear caused by being attacked by with what sounded like a powerful rifle.
First an evening of having to hang around a crowd like that, now not only losing a bet by missing an easy attack but also doing so in front of a dozen camera's! He needed to find a way to save face or he'd die from sheer embarrassment.
He squatted down and leaped towards the escaping drone, his augmented muscles launching him over two and a half meters in the sky. It was barely enough to reach the drone and the small globes erratic movements almost made his grasp miss, but a light touch was all he needed for the gecko surface implanted in his palms to stick to its casing and pull it down with him.
He twisted the thing in his hands so its camera was pointing towards him.
"Eh, you wanna watch what we're doing? Subscribe to our Pito, pinche pendejo. Cost you a lot less than this piece of crap drone!", he said to it while starting to run for cover.

If the thing's got a weapon Rafa can see, he'll try to point it to the ground. Hoping 9 Str is more than what a little eyeball drone can fight. If it looks like it'll be too much trouble, he'll probably try to throw it to the ground and crush it.

[Kouryuu]

AS Rafa got the drone, his commlink receives a message >BAD MOVE!< seems Rafa had only been given a second to read the two words as the Small drone starts to buzz, Rafa's hands start to get tingly his hair starts to get static, then there is a discharge of electricity, this drone had what it's known as Anti theft devices, who knew they can be fitted in such a small drone. There is a second message >3< then another >2<
, then one more >1< ....

At the same time Panther receives a message from the same mysterious voice as this morning >Didn't get the memo? Don't touch!< similar messages appear on the other comms as well, except the one of Ahuechi

the security drones are now half way to their destination and open fire on the Dalmatian missing wide, as they are entering firing range.
