Well, we could all certainly try.  But I don't want to go back to jail, and I'm sure nobody else wants to do their first stint for hacking a subway security system.

I'd also vote for social engineering. It worked for Kevin Mitnick, after all.

[Kozak]

I'm thinking of going for the straight out lie.  Gonna try and con them into thinking I'm from Renraku.

[Ympulse]

If that doesn't work, I can cause a scene with the drunken industrial worker skit. Should give you enough time to B&E provided I don't glitch.

[Scarecrow71]

8 hits on that lie?  Holy crap!  And here, with my character's knowledge of chemistry and ammo I was all set to create our diversion...

Imperialus, did you catch the results for Operator's most recent perception tests? He's checking for signs of physical damage to the platform barriers (the gate/etc. Kusbana supposedly forced herself through) and also counting the number of guards that are present.

On this same note, imperialus, did you see the results of Aishuku's data search to find news clippings about the Oni's business and the cleaning contract she signed with the sports-plex?

Still waiting on a response to:

At the same time, he deftly uses his commlink to do a simple data search to find basic information about the Oni's business, as well as news clippings on the sports-plex cleaning contract.
 
Data Search 0 + LOG 3

Note:  IC is being ridiculous this morning and not letting me log in.  Not sure why.

[imperialus]

Sorry about that Operator, Scarecrow.  I had a post written up but the board seemed to have eaten it.

If there are no objections I'll probably fast forward to the next morning either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Spirit was planning on staking out the house in the event a 'clean-up crew' shows up before we do. If there's no reasonable chance for that I can just let that go.

(Sorry for the semi metagame, but I dont want to bog down the mission advancement to indulge my character's paranoia fieldcraft)

[imperialus]

Go for it Ympulse.  Might not be a terrible idea.  Who all is taking Scarecrow up on his offer to drive?

This is pretty much the same thing I was aiming to do, except at the business location.

[Ympulse]

How do you set up the formatting in IC to count hits? Been trying different things, to little success.

[Operator]

To keep dice formats as compact as possible, I use Xd6.hits(5) in the Dice field. Here are the results.

[imperialus]

oh, cool.  You learn something new every day... Or at least re-learn.  It's been years since I used IC.
