Scrap tilts her head. She can also definitely help with tracing the hacker. She understands the otehrs caution, but also Historia's desire for information. Perhaps if we get the data, we can see if anything shady? If not we delete, if is we pass over?'

"Makes sense, I suppose. And if this hacker got through such tight security, I can see why they might be a valuable asset - if given the right motivations and direction. If we feel it would be the betterment of everyone on the station to learn what they took, I'm in. Where can we find this hacker?"
Sep 1, 2024 3:04 pm
Scrap, we can't do a propper analysis of terabits of data.
Historia-7, you are not wrong, but I'm not convinced yet that you are right either. But for now, let us put moral and legalities aside and find the hacker. He, or she, can tell us more about the data. Do you have any clues to his whereabouts?

Xiordin likes the way the team's questions are proceeding. He supports them with his body language, while waiting to hear the android's responses.

"I'll send you the coordinates. Bring back the data and, if you can, the hacker. We'll provide the data to Guidance and it can go through it for us relatively quickly to find any sort of useful information."
OOC:
Any more questions before you head out?Sep 3, 2024 7:15 am
Final question; can you provide us with a piece of paper (or the equivalent) where you are offering the hacker at job/protection/sanctuary with Lorespire Complex. Anything digital would not be trusted by a paranoid hacker while we negotiate and this would be a powerful barging chip.
OOC:
Ready go head outSep 3, 2024 11:48 pm

They're worried we'll get caught by someone, and it'll fall into the wrong hands. Leverage against the Starfinders. Smart.
Soryn nods, "We'll see to it. The data, and the hacker if we can convince them." He looks to the others, ready to leave when they are.

"Thank you for calling upon us, Historia-7. We appreciate the opportunity and it was a pleasure to meet you."
He's also ready to go and get at it.

You follow the instructions that Historia-7 provided and find yourself standing before an apartment that looks like a large cement cube. The building is in a district known as Drifter's End, an area of the Station known for providing cheap housing to all types of vagabonds. Several plastic barrels containing tomato plants adorn the otherwise barren porch, which are being tended to by a young human male. He doesn't seem to have noticed you at the other end of the street.

Sioux mouth moves but there is no sound for the normal ear. But she hopes that she can get any disguised surveillance equipment to return her Ping!The better the hacker. She explain. The better her survival skill must be. I would expect that the apartment is monitored in different ways
[ +- ] Magictech (Throat): Technopathy Node
Source Starfinder Armory pg. 93
Item Level 1; Price 220; System Throat
A small metallic node etched with arcane symbols implanted in your voice box allows you to silently vocalize messages to constructs with the technological subtype or to nearby computers designed to receive messages. As a standard action, you can send a short message in a language you know to up to three target creatures or computers you are observing within 100 feet and potentially receive a short reply, per telepathic message. Alternatively, as a standard action, you can send a short message in a language you know to a single target computer you are observing within 100 feet and have that computer display that message, allowing anyone observing that computer to read it without leaving any trace of the message’s origin.

Soryn studies the scene and waits to see what Sioux might come up with while considering an approach. "I know a thing or two about tending plants. Perhaps I could approach alone and start a conversation surrounding that, try to ease them into a dialogue?"
Sep 6, 2024 9:33 am
She nods to Soryn. Sounds like a plan, while she continues to map out the simple electronics in the area.

OOC:
Technopathy Node only works on electronics you are already observing, so won't help finding anything hiddenSep 7, 2024 3:05 pm
Xiordin isn't the sneakiest man around. "How do we find this hacker?"
OOC:
How precise was the location given by Historia-7? Sep 7, 2024 11:11 pm
Soryn takes a breath and casually approaches the man tending the tomatoes. "Greetings," he says with a smile. "These are quite lovely. How long have you been growing them?"
OOC:
Throwing in a Life Science roll. Depending on how does, maybe he can identify the strain/type of tomatoes and try to impress the man with his knowledge.Rolls

OOC:
It was definitely this building, but you can't be sure beyond that which of the residents might be the hackerHe takes a moment to size Soryn up and, considering the area's reputation for housing transients it is probably a good habit to have. He shrugs, "I've been working on 'em for a few years now, I guess. What brings you to my part of the neighborhood?"
Soryn doesn't recognize a particular strain of tomato. To him they just look like normal garden tomatoes.
Sep 9, 2024 7:13 am
Soryn smiles and begins to press into the man's mind. "Well, as it happens, I was sent this way to check out an apartment. You know, I used to grow tomatoes as well, among other things. I haven't had a proper garden in a while, though."
OOC:
Probably should have started this on approach, but forgot he had it. Using his Lashunta Magic 1/day for Detect Thoughts.Sep 10, 2024 8:03 am
"That's cool, I guess," the man says, sounding unsure, "But I think you may have gone too far. This is the last apartment on this street and it's already taken, as you can see."
Soryn can detect that the man has thoughts and you can sense more thoughts approaching. A moment later, the door opens and an older woman in a blue-and-white abaya pops her head out of the doorway, "Jubair, what are you doing fooling around out here?" she asks in exasperation, then seems to notice you, "Oh! Who are your friends?"
The man shifts uncomfortably, "I'm not sure, grandma," he replies, "They just showed up now."
