Faking the ARO for the van Edit: 4 Successes
Hey..sorry I am here. I do not know why, but over half of my games were not updating until yesterday when suddenly I notice I have all these "new" posts. Really sorry, and if you want I can step aside if you have or want someone else, otherwise Val is ready o move forward with the caper..
While waiting, Val decides to access the places ordering system and get the table a round of drinks and a couple orders of nachos.
Hack: 5 Successes
to be truthful, I am still trying to get my head around the technomancer's abilities..so I try to read up on what she can do before I try and post anything. Sorry for slowing stuff down.
Blowing bubbles and playing another game on her comm, Val just waves it in the air. "Hacker...duh!"
Val wanders into the bar a few minutes after Lyst. "Hoi chummers! How do you all fair this wonderful evening?" She plunks herself down beside Block and starts playing with her comm.
DMD: Not too sure how to go about this, but can Val call the sprite over and ask it questions, or does it seem to be controlled by someone else?
Val leaves the others at the restaurant and heads down to the industrial park. She will scan the area first just to see what is there and then will concentrate on their objective. Matrix Perception: 2 hits
"Hey chill big guy. I can cut in and out of that system like butter. Should be a snap, and if it's not..well that's where you come in!" She does a little spin as she completes her speech and smiles at Catcher and Venom.
Val reaches under the table and retrieves her cred stick and, after checking that there are no strings attached (ie. tracer programs), she pockets the loot. "Glad ta meetcha Catcher..and what was your name scales?? I'm Val...Val Kyrie...get it!! Well, anyways I am a bit of a hacker, so if you need anything in the matrix, just give me a shout!" She holds up her comm as if to prove she is what she says.
"Later toots! Hey handsome, how about sending some of the milk-money my way!!"
Matrix: Do I notice Lyst messing around on the matrix with my perception roll?
DM:
Val wants to take a closer look at her comm as well as the pillar. Would that just be a matrix perception roll again, or something else?
Val closes her eyes for a moment, as if a sudden pain had assaulted her, but it passes quickly and she goes back to tapping on her comm. "Sounds wiz! Count me in!"
1000 Well better than nothing!!
Eliza..errr..Val walks into the beef joint and looks around. Everything seems pretty cool and normal, but she does notice the CR above the pretty red-head reading the book. An actual book!
Her short skirt and tights with a crop top that reads "Bunnies do it for Fun" in Japanese are partly covered by the long, shiny black coat she wears. She has a comm in her hands and looks to be playing some AR game, occasionally popping a bubble from the gum she is chewing. Her pink and magenta hair is neatly split into pigtails with pom-pom ball hair elastics holding them in place. All in all she looks like someone's teenage kid sister. Matrix Perception: 4 Successes
Lyst: Good to know...thanks again! Lucky Val has the command ability!!
Lyst:
Thanks...the help is greatly appreciated! I think she would most likely hack-on-the-fly to gain access to the cab, so I will do that. Then once she "owns" it, she can give commands, correct...or does she need to roll command for that as well??

Seeing the vast fortress that represents the shadow-proxy, she circles her winged steed around it. The siege weapons and troops, representing lethal IC swarm the battlements in a rather impressive array. A challenge to be sure, but really was it worth it? She already knew that their employer must have some deep pockets and good connections to have all their communications routed through such a beastly portal. Best to conserve her strength for the actual meet and run! Coming back from the semi-trace state she entered when doing serious work in the matrix, Eliza shivers and crawls over to her futon. She burrows into the pile of blankets heaped there and falls into a deep sleep. When she awakes, she washes and dresses then heads out the door. She leaves nothing of worth behind as she is not sure if she will be returning to this flat, or going somewhere else. Once on the street she lets her matrix senses float over the street, looking for an automated cab she can take control of.
Command: Control Device (Comm and) You control a device through the Matrix, using your Command program like a remote control or video game controller. The dice pool of any test you make using this action uses the rating of your Command program in place of the attribute you would use along with the appropriate skill as normal. For example, firing a drone-mounted rifle at a target would require a Longarms + Command test, and using a remote underwater welder would call for a Nautical Mechanic + Command test. Note that if the action to be performed is normally a Simple Action, performing it through the Control Device action is still a Complex Action.
Computer + Track (10, Complex Action) Extended Test 4 hits
Val wanders the data stream following the directions to the place the meet is to occur. Nothing at all out of the ordinary that she can see, and the neon Valkyrie swoops over the area, invisible to almost all the people there, riding her winged horse, Kitten. Her meat body was curled up in the corner of the dive she called 'home', shivering. No money for heat and fear of calling her "friends" to direct power to her flat, kept the young woman in a dark, cold room. Noise from the other flats echoed throughout the building. The only furniture Eliza had was a secondhand futon and a folding chair and table. The lights from the bar across the road flashed into her one tiny window located in the cramped bathroom. Light flashed on and off as the sigh continues to advertise "Cold Beer" in azure and magenta. Only partly aware of her surroundings, Eliza continued to examine the matrix around the mall.

"Unknown hey! Well it looks like I am going to be doing a little net running before this meeting!"
Ok, I think I have Val all ready to go. Will add her home address and such...anyone wanting to get to know Val, just let me know...she is mostly friendly...mostly :-)
Here are the answers to the questions for Illya. Questions: What are your short-term goals? Mostly just to stay ahead of the St. Petersburg Vory. Need money, so taking a few low-key jobs would certainly help, but the Russian Mob’s reach is long… What are your long-term goals?
What is your greatest flaw?
If you could kill anyone in the world and get away with it, who would it be and why?
How did you get your street name?
Who would mourn you if you died on the job?

Here is the submission (crunch only at the moment) for Daniel Stewart.
