I need help, on rules.

I assume, you don't have maglock sequencer so you can't open the doors without direct intervention.
The maglock has no wifi, nor has a skinlink option.
You need to crack it open which is Hardware + Logic (Maglock rating - 4 in this case x 2, 1 Combat Turn) Extended
Test, modified by available tools. can be defaulted. A crowbar would be nice if you want to open it brute force - 4 combat turns, no test.

After that, it's either rewiring the circuits—another Hardware + Logic(Maglock rating x 2, 1 Combat Turn) Extended Test. or Hacking + Exploit (Maglock firewall - 5 in this case, 1 Complex action) extended test, to open it by wiring you commlink and hacking via matrix.

is my understanding correct?

[Netzgeist]

Well, I believe your understanding is correct. At least, that's how I usually think this kind of situation should be handled.

I was trying to mimic the prologue story of the Technomancers chapter in Unwired (pg. 129), in which a Techno with an Echo which emulates skinlink touches a maglock to hack it. But now I took a deeper look at the echo in question, and it does say that the echo works even if the device does not have skinlink active, which is not said of normal skinlink.

Yeah, I think you're right.

[Sentinemodo]

Which means. Mouse could do. It. But he is in the car.

[Netzgeist]

If he had that specific Echo. I couldn't figure out where his echoes are in the character sheet, so I'm not sure.
Anyway, guess we will need to go the brute way. Unfortunately, we got the wrong guy in place for it, I guess.

[Sentinemodo]

He has skinlink echo.

should I take it for abandon mission call?
We'll wait to give some actiontime to Snake, after that I'd like you to post some IC action, on how you proceed further.

Anything can be done the brute way. Things went wrong when mouse stayed in the car well there was good reason for it, as we had to response the situation. I do not like that option, well IMO this wont end nice. Ill need to chek the ammo settings for drones. back in a few seconds.

[Sichr]

OK.
Seems: D2 on the roof is HERF so there is no need to resolve the ammo
D1: LMG, 100x SnS
Dobbey: SMG: 40xSnS
Rover: 200xRegular

Talking about lobby, D1 has clear shot into the lobby, as stated previously in IC post. So this space is covered by Dalmatian and both D1 and D2. Dobbey should be able to get in building ASAP thought window and it depends on distances how fast it would make it to stairway, down the stairs to basement. and cover Lips ass.

That is all nice

worst it is...that none of this ammo can damage any barriere or doors

So the options are:
1) To get Dobbey down ASAP to assist Lips and hope that Lips knows the spell that would be able to open doors...by any meaning

2) To pacify whole area with SnS fire and get some real firepower there to assist fractal with last phase

3) to back off for a moment, since we possibly have the server localized...
we have more than 16 hours to get the job done...and we can consider this a recon...sucesfull recon IMO

Votes?
Other options?

Edit:

4) Omega 13

Never! I just said Fractal is probably the weakest party member strength-wise and the one who carries less firepower, so physical damage is really not something he will shine doing. I will make a post soon enough (as soon as I deem myself sober, last days were terrible and only beer was able to salvage the last of today).

I'm not exactly sure what that was... but I guess it's proof I'm really not sober!

[Sichr]

Galaxy Quest.
If you havent seen it yet, I wholeheartedly recomend it 
BTW: First time I saw that movie was on colege when I was...sobering :p

[Netzgeist]

seens like a piece of awesome advice. As soon as possible, and probably sharing the same circunstances. 

[Sichr]

At least our characters aren`t alcoholics

[snake_eyes]

Do you have Datajack or Skinlink then?

I have a skin link TM style. But after griping through all of the posts you already knew that.

[Sentinemodo]

Sorry Snake
seems like we went overdrive again.
There was some 20 mintues minutes, that you can spend anyway you wish in iC, plus, I'd like you to respond to the current situation in IC.
