[22:52] * Fitzroy heads back to the hackin' room. "Alright, let's get started."
[22:52] <Chamelaeon> <<Right. When you two hack in tandem, you get mad bonuses off each other's skeelz.>>
[22:52] * Ian drags along his caffeine and snaxxorz.  "I'm all set.  Where shall we start?"
[22:53] <Fitzroy> Well, we need to take care of nanocameras, patrol robots, sentry weaponry, and locked doors.
[22:54] * Ian nods.  "That sounds like a logical order of things..."
[22:54] <Chamelaeon> <<Patrol bots are isolated from the net, remember. You can, however, track them.>>
[22:54] * Fitzroy plugs in to the MACHINE, "We should probably start with the cameras. Maybe the doors too."
[22:55] * Ian jumps into his chair and hooks in a la Matrix.  Stylish!
[22:56] <Chamelaeon> <<Fitzroy's office swirls in around you.>>
[22:57] <Fitzroy> The guns next.. then, all we can really do with the robots is track them.
[22:57] <Fitzroy> We'll have to keep the group aware of their positions.
[22:57] <Chamelaeon> <<Which, if you've forgotten, is a white round room, totally seamless. There's a single white desk, and many many many monitors.>>
[22:58] <Ian> Gotcha.  It would be too complicated to turn the security system against the robots, I expect.
[22:59] <Chamelaeon> (Get cracking. I want to try to finish this tonight.)
[22:59] * Fitzroy hmms, "We could always try."
[22:59] * Ian grins, and flexes his fingers.  "All right.  Nanocameras first?"
[23:00] <Fitzroy> Yep. First things first. We can try the Guns vs. Bots thing after everything's disabled.
[23:00] * Ian nods.
[23:01] * Fitzroy causes an archway to appear in the wall. "Let's go." He steps on through.
[23:01] * Ian heads on in after Roy.
[23:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Beyond is the hideous art-deco Mayan pyramid of ZeRoCanx.>>
[23:03] * Fitzroy steps out near the pyramid, "Oh, and we should use the generic avatar." His avatar morphs into a mime.
[23:04] * Ian shifts his avatar as well.  "...I hate mimes.  Ah, well."
[23:07] <Fitzroy> We need to get in through that gate over there.
[23:07] * Ian nods, and peers over at it.
[23:09] * Ian flexes once more.  "Okay - let's go."
[23:11] * Fitzroy heads over to the line of avatars entering the pyramid, "They've got a bunch of ICE around the place."
[23:12] <Chamelaeon> <<The line is moving pretty quickly... better fake some authentication fast.>>>
[23:13] * Fitzroy touches a nearby avatar to copy it's authentication!
[23:13] <Chamelaeon> <<Gimme a hacking roll, no penalty.>>
[23:14] <Chamelaeon> <<Also, you can hear the audio from the other side of the team.>>
[23:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Roy's got id! Come on, Ian, keep up.>>
[23:16] <Ian> (Sorry, back.)
[23:17] * Ian cues up a program that remolds his avatar when queried, and hits a couple of surrounding avatars for data.
[23:17] <Chamelaeon> (also, respond to the other team already. >_>)
[23:17] <Chamelaeon> <<Ian, same roll.>>
[23:20] <Ian> (Made by 1.)
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> (-4, if you've got a hacking soft slotted.)
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> (But.)
[23:21] <Ian> (Then made by 3...)
[23:22] <Chamelaeon> <<You guys pass the front with no trouble. Best get the door open for the others - that's a roll at +5 to find the directory, and another at +2 to open the door. If you work together, it's one roll with a combined bonus.>>
[23:23] <Chamelaeon> (So 2d6-17.)
[23:23] <Fitzroy> Alright. They need in first. We can fix the cameras later.
[23:23] * Ian nods to Roy.  "Let's get the directory."
[23:23] <Ian> (Shall I? ^_^)
[23:23] <Fitzroy> (sure)
[23:24] <Chamelaeon> <<You pull up the local directory. It scrolls open in front of you. So far, you look legit. Hurry.>>
[23:25] <Chamelaeon> <<The door locks unlatch ... +5 to cover your tracks.>>
[23:25] <Fitzroy> Right. Now the cameras, before they get too far.
[23:25] * Ian nods.  "Let's hide that door, first..."
[23:26] <Chamelaeon> <<+5 for the cameras in the lobby, +8 to cover THOSE tracks.>>
[23:26] * Fitzroy nods, "of course"
[23:26] <Fitzroy> (you going to keep doing the rolls?)
[23:26] <Ian> (Sure, I guess. ^_^)
[23:27] <Chamelaeon> <<Ian executes a perfect double loop attack, and the entire camera system falls open before him. It's trivial to shut them all off!>>
[23:27] <Chamelaeon> <<Sadly, it's going to take some doing to hide that fact. +11.>>
[23:27] * Ian does so!
[23:29] <Fitzroy> Nice. Now, where are the turrets.. before they walk into one.
[23:29] <Ian> Back to the directory we go...
[23:29] <Ian> (Another +5?)
[23:32] <Chamelaeon> <<+8 to locate ground floor turrets.>>
[23:33] <Ian> (Got 'em.)
[23:33] <Chamelaeon> <<There is one immediately in front of the elevator. Active.>>
[23:34] <Ian> Got one.  Roy, think we can disable this?
[23:35] <Fitzroy> I certainly hope so.
[23:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Go for it.>>
[23:36] <Ian> (Standard roll?)
[23:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Make at least some descriptive attempt?>>
[23:37] <Fitzroy> Let's go for it.
[23:37] * Ian loads in a program to take over weaponry systems, which he found in one of the sketchier folders on his deck.  "Hope to god this works."
[23:38] <Fitzroy> (what is this directory thing anyway?)
[23:38] <Chamelaeon> <<A listing of services. Your version of it has slightly more info than the standard.>>
[23:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Ian: -13>
[23:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Er, +13.>>
[23:39] * Ian taps the program into the directory listing for that turret.
[23:39] <Fitzroy> Good luck. I don't know anything about those programs you have.
[23:40] <Ian> Neither do I...we can both patch them in, at least.
[23:40] <Chamelaeon> <<The turret is under your control! But, uh, there's nothing to aim at.>>
[23:40] * Ian makes sure auto-tracking and firing are off, then.
[23:40] <Chamelaeon> <<Done.>>
[23:41] <Chamelaeon> <<Elevator access time! +5 for location of node, +8 to access, +10 to hide.>>
[23:42] * Ian switches back to a more normal program, and gets into the elevator access panel.
[23:42] <Fitzroy> We need to make sure there aren't turrets waiting as they get out on the lower level also.
[23:43] * Fitzroy scans the directory for basement level turrets.
[23:43] <Chamelaeon> <<Same rolls for those, guys.>>
[23:43] * Ian nods, and goes turret shopping with Roy again.
[23:45] <Chamelaeon> <<There are plenty of them. Check for robots?>>
[23:45] <Ian> (Same roll?)
[23:45] <Ian> This'll take a while.  Let's see about robots...
[23:46] <Chamelaeon> <<+9>>
[23:46] <Fitzroy> Yeah. Don't want to forget about those.
[23:46] * Ian saves the turret positions, and switches places in the directory.
[23:48] <Ian> (Made the robot roll.  What about ninjas and pirates?)
[23:48] <Chamelaeon> <<There's ... many, many robots. Do you want to write a letter?>>
[23:48] <Fitzroy> (Oooh, good thinkin'.)
[23:49] <Chamelaeon> <<... er, uh, I mean hack the turrets and turn them on the robots?>>
[23:49] <Ian> (Why, yes.  Yes we do.)
[23:49] <Fitzroy> Man, there's a lot of them.
[23:49] * Ian grins.  "That just means we have to make use of the turrets..."
[23:50] <Fitzroy> It's a good thing your program works.
[23:50] <Chamelaeon> <<+23 to take all the turrets in one chunk. +19 to take it in two.>>
[23:50] * Ian grins.  "So it is."
[23:50] * Fitzroy begins taking over turrets. "Let's start with the section near the elevator"
[23:51] <Ian> This will be tough, though.  Yeah, let's do it in two goes.
[23:51] <Ian> (Oh, crap.)
[23:52] <Chamelaeon> <<Youuuuu fail it! Better take the other chunk, and quickly.>>
[23:52] <Ian> (Took Luck.  And made it.)
[23:53] <Chamelaeon> <<The guns turn on each other! This is going to take a while, though... you'll have to try to focus the guns on the robots that get near the path to the drug, because there's not enough to keep it constantly clear.>>
[23:55] * Ian winces.  "Well, that could have gone worse...or better."
[23:55] <Fitzroy> Yikes.. We've gotta be careful..
[23:55] <Ian> We'll have to keep a close eye on this...I'm glad we saved it for last.
[23:55] <Fitzroy> I'll keep an eye out for our own safety. Hopefully nobody noticed that.
[23:55] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a robot approaching the elevator on a round. Attack? (y/n)>>
[23:55] <Ian> (That would be a Y.)
[23:56] * Ian targets a few turrets on the approaching kobold - er, robot.
[23:57] <Chamelaeon> <<Right. +12 hacking roll, -4 Heavy Weapons roll.>>
[23:57] <Fitzroy> (can we tell that the elevator's in use? And, Are the turrets nearby deadly?)
[23:57] <Ian> (Roy, you have HW?)
[23:57] <Chamelaeon> <<You can, and most of the turrets around the elevator are destroyed.>>
[23:57] <Fitzroy> (er, nope.)
[23:58] <Ian> (Well, we pray, then. ^_^)
[23:58] <Ian> (I hope that was a Mind target.)
[23:58] <Chamelaeon> (ACV.)
[23:58] <Ian> (Missed mine by one.  Roy?)
[23:59] <Chamelaeon> <<The robot is deaded!>>
[00:00] * Ian grins, and high-fives Roy.  "Thanks."
[00:00] <Fitzroy> (Right on. Lucky shot. ;))
[00:00] * Fitzroy high-fives. "Awesome! I think it was a lucky shot though."
[00:00] <Ian> It worked, though.
[00:01] <Ian> (Can I switch the elevator music to Mr. Roboto?)
[00:01] <Chamelaeon> <<...no.>>
[00:01] <Fitzroy> And that's the important part
[00:01] <Ian> (;_;)
[00:01] <Chamelaeon> <<One of you had better work on getting documents.>>
[00:02] <Ian> (Documents?)
[00:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Other corroborative proof. Anything you can grab.>>
[00:03] <Ian> Roy, do you want to look for evidence?  I'll hold down the robots.
[00:03] <Fitzroy> Yeah. Do you think you have it under control?
[00:03] <Ian> As well as we can, yeah.
[00:04] <Chamelaeon> <<There's another robot bearing down on them. Ian, same rolls.>>
[00:05] * Fitzroy begins scanning the directory for the sekrit info vault, "Alright. I'll see what I can dig up."
[00:05] <Ian> (Deaded!)
[00:07] <Chamelaeon> <<Right. Roy, +6, +7, +9 for directory. +9, +10, +11 for getting the files.>>
[00:08] <Fitzroy> (Directory.. Check.)
[00:09] <Fitzroy> (Files.. #1 Check, others No. Mind roll, right?)
[00:09] <Chamelaeon> (Yeah.)
[00:09] <Chamelaeon> (You get another try at +11 and +12.)
[00:10] <Fitzroy> (Both Check)
[00:11] <Chamelaeon> <<Ian, there's one turret in this hall. You get only a -2 to your HW roll.>>
[00:11] <Fitzroy> Awesome. I got some info.
[00:11] <Ian> (Bada bing.)
[00:11] <Ian> Great!  I think the path's all clear.
[00:11] * Fitzroy saves the data and covers his tracks.
[00:12] * Ian winces.  "Or not.  Blast."
[00:24] <Chamelaeon> <<Right. Roy, you score all kinds of stuff. Seriously hardcore, dude. It's just taking a while to do that, and Ian's trying to clear out robots in the other room.>>
[00:24] <Chamelaeon> (I'm sorry, it's hard to run crap like this when it's not live.)
[00:24] <Ian> (Heh, no prob.)
[00:26] <Fitzroy> (nodnod)
[00:50] <Ian> (Can we?)
[00:50] <Chamelaeon> (Yup.)
[00:51] <Ian> (Wham.)
[01:00] * Fitzroy looks throught the directory to try and find anything about crystal/drug transportation. "Maybe they have something about it in here."
[01:00] * Ian nods.  "I'm keeping an eye on the robots..."
[01:03] <Fitzroy> (Is there anything on containment, Cham?)
[01:03] <Chamelaeon> <<They use special containers, none of which is down here.>>
[01:07] <Chamelaeon> <<Okay, guys. +11, +14, +23 to keep things clear on the way out. All hacking rolls.>>
[01:08] <Ian> (Will do.)
[01:08] <Ian> (That last one is ow.)
[01:10] <Chamelaeon> (You have it.)
[01:14] <Fitzroy> (What did happen on that last roll?)
[01:14] <Ian> (10.)
[01:15] <Fitzroy> (Yes, but physically.. or in-game.. or whatever)
[01:16] <Chamelaeon> <<You pissed off the main system.>>
