Well, there's not much security on the inside, so you should be able to meet up with your runners as soon as they can find a way to track you down.

(you wouldn't be planning on visiting the starbux cosest to your old company stomping grounds anytime soon would you? LOL)

and as for the arm, well, i just look at the random things that shadowrunners pick up, and sometimes wonder what it would look like to an outside perspective.
(the arm actually has some deltaware cybertech in it (a delta grade VCR remote signal booster with ECCM) that the runners you are stealing the truck from were going to sell / get installed in their own rigger, but you can't tell that from the shoulder.)

Oh... I was just thinking this guy was a militant freak... the kind who cuts off a fragger's arm, ears, and whatnot, and keeps them around to show everyone who isn't terrified of him yet.

But the deltaware thing works too. ;D

I just thought it was cool as hell to include something like that, Ruski.

LOL, well, if you like you could make a break for the 'back to the shack' play by post, it's a little more simple... not so many twists...
of course, i don't know how well a corperate suit/programming genious would work out with gangers everywhere... but hey, *shrug* if you really want it i'll see what i can do for you...

... the runner is always right!

The arm has a VCR? Or a signal booster? I didn't think a Vehicle Control Rig was implanted in your arm but right at the base of your skull.


Come to think of it... The Matrix doesn't use a a datajack, it uses a vehicle rig. They jack right into the middle brain, which is why "dying" in the Matrix kills you, right? Not so sure about the "wounds manifesting on my body" part, but whatever :P

it was a signal amplification unit for a remote VCR. so, you have your VCR installed in your head, this AMP in your arm (giving your drones extra range) and your controll deck in  your meat hands... or whatever. the special thing about this arm is that the amp has ECCM built into it. (about $200,000.00 in the value department, with a street index of about 2.5 or so)

so it's just an AMP with ECCM.

but, it's still cool, and worth some cred.

and as far as wounds showing up on the body? i've never seen that (except for the ocasional full body bruse, or broken capalaries giving them a bloody nose, and the really rare dumpshock that results in broken capalaries in your eyes (crying blood is never a pretty sight)

Now imagine Rigging an Ultraviolet system... you know, if that were possible.


I've always figured the Matrix (the Movie, I mean) was an Ultraviolet system, in terms of scale.


So what is it? Rigged or ultraviolet? Hrm....

UV.
rigged implies that you are actually controlling something, not just sitting in a simulation.

Yeah, you're probably right. I still wonder how SR4 works with the Otaku.

They are either A) Jacked into the Trix when it goes down and they die
or B) were living that 5% of their life outside of the Trix, and die from withdrawls in like... a day. or C) get older and it goes away, as pr. the normal Otaku Rules.
no more matrix, no more otaku being created, older otaku loose their magic powers, everyone is happy.

So, what do you think of this latest 'twist' for poor Ingo's char?

I'm betting one of three things:

1.) The Runners got tired of waiting, and waxed him.

2.) Whoever was chasing the runners caught up to them, and the firefight burned down the place

3.) Whoever is still chasing Ingo burned it down.
