Ok so i still didn't make it back completely to the world of the living but i'll be back soon!!! 

[inca1980]

Ugh....well this time I feel finally back to normal life again.  Sorry for the extended leave. 

So concern has been expressed that our only magical asset probably shouldn't take the sidelines even though there's a legitimate danger that Mercedes could be hurt more than the chars who are more combat oriented.  It is true though that the guards could have radioed in but the only thing stopping them was the fact that they are all complicit in this little sim-porno ring and don't want to bring attention to what's going on.  They currently think that Tracy is doing her thing with Mercedes somewhere inside the airlock.  Now that the G3 and G4 have been attacked by Walks, they know that something fishy is up to say the least and there is a strong possibility they will decide that reporting it in is a good idea even if it's risky for them, so taking them out before they get to report I think is a good idea. 

So it is Mercedes initiative so i'll let her reconsider what she wants to do right now.

Well, it seems my health-related absence kind of killed the thread a little bit so I just want to take inventory as to what people want to do.  The cool thing about PbP is that it can always make a come-back so I was just wondering how people felt.  Personally I really like what has happened so far and we are smack dab in the middle of some action.  I really think it's cool to have to break a team member out of prison in order to go do an epic world-saving type of adventure so I definitely am invested in the plot.  So then the question is how you guys feel about it. 

I know Woofer has been pretty relegated to silence so I can understand that that's a drag but I definitely can have some more things for him to do in the meantime....he still has a few hours before you hit the prison. 

Everyone else might just have some fatigue since we did start the RRII almost a year ago.  So I definitely am going to keep the thread alive and you guys can tell me what each of you want to do.

I'm in. I have always enjoyed the game, and think the current situation is intense. Hope you are doing better and look forward to getting back into it.

[Sludig]

Yeah, quiet but watching the threads

Ready to tear shit up.

So that just leaves Fastjack.  If you wanna keep on going and just need some time of course we can hold up a little more so just let us know.

[FastJack]

Sorry, been out of non-moderation stuff for a bit. But I'm back into the swing of things now!

[inca1980]

Trying to get Woofer brought down to reception is the idea that Walks had.  You'd probably need more information to figure out if that's doable or not.

I suppose I could keep brute-forcing my way from one node to the next, but I was hoping I could find a spider and steal his account info just to speed things up.

[inca1980]

@BB:
Yeah, you can wait around for a spider to maybe check through.  The current time is 12:30AM.....at 12:37 the mage who was tracking Mercedes will get another roll.  It is a (8,1hour) extended test.  The threshold goes up each hour, but he already has 2 hits.  Now this is of course Metagaming info, but BB is awakened and has enough sense to know something about this. 

Roll an Edgex2(3) test to see if you get lucky enough in the next 10 minutes for a spider to come through.

I was thinking about something like checking the access logs on the scrurity node and running a trace.  Everything done on a node should be logged if the person has an account, legit or not.  Hackers erase their logs, but for a Spider, that would be illegal.

So, the idea is to find the spider's ID in the logs and try and find him on the local network so that I can hack his personal node and get his password type stuff. 

Just trying to find a faster way to get around the telematics infrastructure software than hacking through who knows how many nodes.  Could I at least fool the TI software by feeding bad info to the signal scanners in the reception area?  Otherwise, there's likely to be questions about why everyone decided to use the john at once.

[inca1980]

Sorry guys, the memorial day weekend camping trip turned into like a week long thing. 

So just buying hits on your Browse test you can find the Spider's ID by noticing the ID that has done the most Spider-like tasks (i.e. regularly checking the access logs, installing updates, etc.) 

The only issue is that you can't just access his PAN because you have no direct connection to it and you are inside a hardwired system.  Roll that Edgex2(3) test to see if he comes through in the next 10 minutes.

[Kontact]

Meh, in 10 minutes I could hack the place backwards and forwards.  I suppose I'll have the bot run a trace on the Spider's longin so I can know when he comes on, if he comes on.

So, do we want to edit Marcus' records and pull him down for visitation, or do we want to go up there and spring the guy while putting a hit on the dude for Sheldon?  I like the idea of going up, but only if I can hack their digital security and get drones involved.
