OOC:
Let's get some information on the Program Archive's ice, then.
Zoey's tempted to make a run for the petty cash account—only fitting after what the Beanstalk did to her!—but she doesn't want to jeopardize her relationship with Jane. She focuses her attentions on the Program Archive to see what she can find for now.

Zoey sends a gentle probe at the Program Archive sub-system and see's the shimmering pale barrier of an Ice Wall (Strength 5) securing the system.
OOC:
That's one of the Advantages, you still have the other available. Can Mila and Aditi make an Average (2 x Purple/Difficulty dice) Perception check with a Setback (Black) die

As Zoey hums along with the computer work, Mila continues to keep an eye on the hallway.

Is something there? (Perception)

1 Success, 2 Advantage, 4 Threat

Total: 1 Success, 2 Threat

Zoey fires up the Crypsis on her rig and attempts to break the ice on the program repository.
OOC:
Using the second advantage for a boost. Crypsis is Strength 3. Custom Code talent adds Advantage. Damn. Total is 3 Success, 4 advantage. Network encounters a tough! Is it OK to roll those into 4 boosts on the second attempt?

As she is listening Mila's ears begin to pick up the sound of voices, two she thinks, that are nearby. They are a bit too far away at the moment to make out much detail but they seem to be slowly getting closer.
OOC:
Take 2 x Strain from the Threats due to the rising tension

As Zoey sends a few probing queries at the ICE. Each one get's knocked back but she starts to build up a better picture of where the vulnerabilities might be on the program.
OOC:
Yeah that's fine. Also remember you should be rolling another Boost on Computers checks here due to Zoe's familiarity with SEA's systems

Zoey keeps cracking away at the ice. She finds it remarkably tough to penetrate, but thinks she spots some more weak points.
OOC:
This is hilarious. Will take all 10 advantages (9 rolled + custom code) for boosts if possible!

Or I'll take the max possible number of boosts and use the remaining advantages to pass boosts to allies if they need to social check these interlopers.

"Someone's coming this way," Mila hisses to Aditi. She can feel herself starting to sweat. "Two people, maybe. What should we do?" Mila's short on ideas that don't involve physical violence, and she doesn't want to hurt some poor sods who just had the bad luck to stumble on them, much less get Zoey's friend in trouble.

"We need to distract them and stop them from discovering Zoey. I just have no idea what to tell them", Aditi replies. After thinking for a second, she suggests: "We could fake a medical emergency. That could get them to take the long way around."

"You have something specific in mind?" Mila asks. She's not sure she can sell anything too complex. "I could collapse into the hallway and pretend to be unconscious, I guess." Of course, it'd be just their luck if the people coming were security or some kind of good Samaritans, but it's not like Mila has any better ideas.

"Something like that", Aditi says with an unsure shrug. "I could pretend to treat you. Hopefully that would get them to give us some space. We could also pretend you have something contagious to give them more reason to avoid us but that would increase the risk of them calling for security."

"Okay," Mila says, "If they keep getting closer I'll fall over and pretend to have a coughing fit. Hopefully that will make them wary enough to change course."
OOC:
Should we prepare for a Deception check?
