I was initially, wondering though why didn't you went for standard priviledges instead of admin. but given how the things turned out (3 hits on the first roll only) it's good you chose that way.

[Netzgeist]

Any roll involved for these actions, or is it just description? My understanding is that these should be Issue Command actions (maybe some Deactivate Program, in the IC case), which involve no rolls and are simple actions. But I'm not that sure about it.

[Sentinemodo]

since the node is on alert, that would be Hacking + Exploit  against the node’s Firewall(5) + System(5) + Alert(4)

note that there is nothing preventing you form data searching and trasnfering files, once you log in (except, you'll be doing so under fire).

the best try as to perform admin operations would be to unload IC, there is still fairly far away to shutdowning the node in terms of time (at least 5 more init passes, maybe 8 )

[Netzgeist]

It's still a simple action, or is it a complex action (since an exploit roll means another hacking attempt)?

[Sentinemodo]

using an exploit program is a complex action
had you hacked in without alerting the system, you'd be able to do so in simple action

[Sentinemodo]

There was some initiative issues, once you resolve your defence, I'll resolve your shutdown IC

[Sentinemodo]

you got one last edge I think that can be use either for defense or for damage resistance

Ah crap, it seems I was missing something. Im leaving now for fencing weekend, so I`ll be AFK till sunday afternoon. If Omar is able to participate in the matrix fight, he will do whatever possible, mainly using his Exploit to crash IC`s analyze and Offensive programs, if possible, to give mouse time to search and download.

Exploit rolls:
Hacking/Cybercombat(4)+Exploit(5+1=6)+VR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=3)

Stealth Rolls:
Hacking/Stealth(4/6)+Stealth(5)+VR(2) (13d6.hits(5)=3, 13d6.hits(5)=8, 13d6.hits(5)=6, 13d6.hits(5)=3, 13d6.hits(5)=4)

Initiative rolls:
Init(VR)=11 (11d6.hits(5)=5, 11d6.hits(5)=5, 11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=2, 11d6.hits(5)=4) means: 16, 16, 14, 13, 15

Perception rolls:
Computer/analyze(3/5)+Analyze(5)+VR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=3)

Defense rolls:
Firewall(5)+Analyze(5)+VR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=8, 12d6.hits(5)=6, 12d6.hits(5)=6, 12d6.hits(5)=4)

Damage resistance:
Will(5)+BFB(5)+Natural Hardening(2) (12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=5)

I know this is WOT but I hope it would be usefull.

God luck everyone, If in troubles, call for help

[Sichr]

Wait. WHAT!

He aint there alone IMO...

[Sentinemodo]

why do you think he is, 'cause he is behind wifi inhibiting walls, how could you join him?

[Netzgeist]

If (or should I be writing when?) Fractal dies on this mission, I'm going Street Samurai/B&E afterwards. For a change.

[Sentinemodo]

sorry for a lag, I needed to reach home and bath a daughter

IC coming

[Netzgeist]

RL first, always, and specially when it involves small children that depends on us. Have a nice parenting time!

[Sentinemodo]

She's so sweet I can't stand it sometimes.
and she is the only project I took part in that lasted 9 months plus already 7 months of stabilization after go-live, that not only was all out success, but it has both hands, both legs and a head to boot.

[Sentinemodo]

If (or should I be writing when?) Fractal dies on this mission, I'm going Street Samurai/B&E afterwards. For a change.

That kind of thoughts usually stick.
While it seems that Fractal survived this particular moment, he may still die trying to get out from the node and parlor afterwards.
Yet .. if he still lives this through, and you'd like to play another character you can do so, let me know between the missions.
