Well, I'll ask out loud if DAHM can show us where the things that needs to be fixed is...

"Hey, which one of these is the malfunctioning one?"

And then I'll give Takashi cover while he jacks in- I'll sit between him and the old fashioned cameras so they can't see what he's doing.

Just follow the flashing lights. it's less than 200 yards away. The lights again flicker in a pattern, leading down the hallway, and arround a corner.

[kv]

Follow the lights, the gun shielded by my body from anyone watching on camera, but wary that we may be walking into a trap. Other than that, I'll try to keep my body language normal.

"So, computer, how long have you been operational?"


The most recent update to my firmware was over 14 hours ago. the oldest parts of my hardware date back to two years ago.
You walk down the hallway and come to an airvent with green sludge seeping out of it. it's a little bit high; you'll need a ladder or something to reach it. it looks quite gross.

[mercy]

will glance into the astral looking for trouble

The astral is clear. this is an older part of the building, and is mostly inhabited by rats and fungus.

[kv]

I'll find something to stand on- I have a pretty high electronics skill, and that doesn't mean that I know how to fix air conditioning, but it does mean that I know how to LOOK like I'm fixing it.

*I'll pull a ladder, desk, or whatever over and stand on it so I can start taking the vent apart.*

Okay, a couple of screws and a little bit of tomfoolery later, you get an unused desk over to the wall, and the air conditioner vent plate off. looking inside, you see a large rat-nest, backed up aghinst a filter that is more mold than cellulose. you don't know how far this blockage goes, but you have a pretty good idea why the air dosn't pass through here.

[Ingo Monk]

I'll look around for something to use to jack in.

If you feel like building your own jackpoint with a B/R Electronics 4 test, there are a number of things you could build a jackpoint and plug into.
1) the camera feed
2) old intercom station relay point.
3) Enviromental Controlls box.
4) lighting relay switch.

if you are looking for a more standard jackpoint, you'll have to wander arround and look for an old office that they've still got on the current network.

[kv]

I'll use a flashlight to check the rats nest- make sure it's empty before I start clearing it out- last thing I want is to get bitten by a stupid rat and pick up the neo-Bubonics.

If it's clear, I'll start using my tools (which I do actually have) to clear out the nest and exces mold and such. Start at the front, and work my way back until it's clear.

There are rats in there. but they are the 'normal' rat variety, not the devil rat.

[kv]

I'll use some crude implement to clear out the rats, then.

"Hey, DAHM? It looks like you need an exterminator- I'll clear these rats out, but you need to call someone in to go through and find out if there are any other nests."

((Is Takashi having any luck finding a place to jack in?))

Depends on if he/you want to build a jackpoint, or wander arround and find an already built one.

[mercy]

with back to cam when jazz pops head out will mouth all clear on astral

[kv]

I'll nod my head toward the vent, and hand him the tools to keep clearing out the rat junk in the vent. I'll try my best to clean my hands off, and then use my electronics tools to build Takashi a jackpoint.

Electronics Test: 8, 7, 4, 2 ((Three?))
(Stealth Test to hide it from the cameras: 5, 5, 3, 1, 1)((Two))

Okay, popping off the cover of the heating and air conditoning controll panel, you spend some quality time hooking up what looks to be diagnostic tools, but in reality; they are actually a jackpoint data access terminal parts. once you are done you have a working jackpoint.

[kv]

I'll nudge Takashi with the oe of my boot, and then step back up on the desk to help Sam clean out the rat feces and try and get the grate working.

Okay. It's a dirty messy job. and unpleasant to boot. let's say you need to make:

Qty: (2) Quickness 4 tests.
and Qty (1) Body 4 tests.

if you fail the quickness 4 tests, you get bitten by a rat; and have to resist 4L (no armor)
if you fail a body test, you have to resist 6L (no armor) and spend 1D6 minutes throwing up.

everyone climbing in the vent needs to make thease tests. if you do make all the tests; it'll take you 1D6 minutes to clean everything out.

[kv]

Quickness Test 1: 09 05 05 04 03 01 ((Four Successes))
Quickness Test 2: 10 05 04 01 01 01 ((Three Successes))

Body Test: 09 07 03 02 01 ((Two Successes))

Okay, you avoid getting bitten by the rats, and you don't inhail a lung full of mold. it's going to take you <Rolling Dice> Four Minutes to clean out that mess.

[Ingo Monk]

I'll jack in, and make it look like I'm running diagnostics on the system.

You are in. For the sake of getting this run compleated in a somewhat timely manner; I'm going to abreviate the normal matrix rules. Due to your extensive knoledge of this particular system, and given the fact that they haven't gone through and patched all of your code yet, you have an easy-in into the CPU.
So. Issue your commands as if you were sitting on the CPU it's self..

[kv]

While we're cleaning, I'll ask DAHM to turn off the duct security defenses while we're cleaning the place, so we don't get zapped or cut up.

"Hey, DAHM, is there any chance you could shut down the air duct security system, so we can clean this without fear for our lives?"

This section is not equip with countermeasures of that nature.

[Ingo Monk]

(OOC)

I'll shut down all the security procedues that I can without throwing up any flags.  I'll turn off one of the A/C conduits in the server room we need to get to, and make it look like something's blocked it.  I'll alter the building DAHM Computer to flag us as friendly, or at least something that will let us move about the building more freely.  I'll remove any video of ourselves and set it to loop the missing content from a previous recording.  I'll set the surveillance cameras in the service elevator, the lobby, the server room and its  floor to loop so it won't get any recording of us.  I'll make sure there's a copy of my exit program on the server to run if I need to, and I'll alter it to turn off security drones as well.

I'll also search real quick for an un-altered copy of the security video the night I was framed and download it to my deck.  I'll also find Killian's bank account # from the finance department (they probably have it somewhere for his direct deposit).  I'll make an algorithm that takes any and all fractions of nuyen and places them in Killian's account.  Not too obvious though, but I want him to get fired for embezzelment.  I'll save the account # for future use.

Any finally I'll make sure I clean up all the log files of any file or node that I accessed.  Wouldn't want anyone to know I was there after all.

(/OOC)

Okay. Done. you make the necessary modifications, and write that program that you thought up while watching an old 'superman 2' movie on flat-vid.


only catch is that you can't seem to find the 'original' footage of that night. only the modified one is on the server.

[kv]

I'll pull my head out once we're finished, and clean my tools while we wait for Takashi to jack out. I'll keep an eye on the camera, and have Sam check Astral again.
