Netz, I'll be kind and not point out your comment from late last week in this thread, and how it's only fitting that you be the first one for the pointy end of the stick.

That said, you're right that the Mute option should give you a full turn before the alarm is sounded.

And, just because I miss rolling dice: Hank's initiative, for when we get around to meat combat: 10d6.hits(5) = 4, for a total of 14. At least I'm faster than the troll. That, and Hank's going to be spending the next 15 minutes or so effectively delaying his action, so as to be ready to hit the trigger at the right moment.

As am I

Serious--are any of the vehicles or the drone milspec? Should I roll to see if Hank knows of any usable weaknesses?

He's got a 10 dice pool for military knowledge in general, with a specialization in army.

[SeriousOne338]

All of them are Milspec. So roll away.

[Thvor]

With or without the army specialization?

[SeriousOne338]

With or without the army specialization?

It might be giving away some things but with the army specialization.

Ok, here goes.

Lead hummer: 12d6.hits(5)=4
GMC MPUV: 12d6.hits(5)=3
Chase hummer: 12d6.hits(5)=6
Drone: 12d6.hits(5)=5

And, just in case,
Stoner Ares M202: 12d6.hits(5)=1 (no glitch)

It's a standard old school Hummer, the gunner draws some interest. You can make out a unit insignia "Unit 9" you recall something about a force called the Unit, and section 9. They were a group that was used for covert operations, specializing in extracting sensitive material.   

GMC MPUV: 12d6.hits(5)=3

This vehicle you've seen many times, but the new Smart armor plating makes you wonder that is the kind of stuff meant for the battle field not some OP in a city.

Chase hummer: 12d6.hits(5)=6

This one you get a good deal of info, the turret is a MK4 mobile unit that's meant to be used as a sentry gun outside a forward operations base, usually controlled via rigger or hacker. That means they might have matrix support.

Drone: 12d6.hits(5)=5

An older drone, but you've seen them used for over watch before but the fact it has a chameleon coating makes you wonder you thought this was an older drone that would have been retired.

And, just in case,
Stoner Ares M202: 12d6.hits(5)=1 (no glitch)

Just a standard mounted gun.

How is the hacking going guys... you do it per PM?

[Netzgeist]

I'm still waiting for the GM to reply on what's going on (i.e., - did the Reality Filter override the node metaphor?  - What does Rybka finds out about the note when she enters it?).

As soon as I get this info, I will make an IC post. But I think we've come to a halt.

[Lethe]

All right. Better keep the hacking simple, no need for Serious to rush into too many rules at once. Hacking can get quite complicated.

Quite true; but that's also why I'm being extra-detailed on my posts - so there's not too much need to be going through the books to find how each situation works out.

[SeriousOne338]

I think I will be ok, just if I screw up point it out. I might use the super evil GM hammer at some moments but for the most part I am trying to get the rules right.

[SeriousOne338]

OK, I know double post but hey I need some info:

Tachikoma: is going to engage the wolfhound right now? or wait until the convoy gets closer? Also do you have a signal jammer on any aircraft?

[Lethe]

It sounded like he was just preparing for the attack. Planning to take their "sight" as soon as the battle starts. One drone high above us, the other one on a big loop around to surprise from behind.

@Rybka: seven ones - ouch, bad luck. But better now than in a damage resistance roll ;-)

[Netzgeist]

I don't think so, Lethe. Rybka is not running Armor... and if she does not know that someone will attack her, she will not, as running another program would make her overload her processor limit and reduce her Response time. She may be quite a sitting duck if it comes to cybercombat.
