Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Connecting to the node you see a giant hamster cage, with person-sized tubes connecting pods. There are three such pods. Above you can see four floating globes, obviously IC. With the access codes they don't seem to find your presence of any interest.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

To start off, Digit will remain within legal use of her access codes, and attempt to open what data is immediately available to her.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Pod 1 corresponds to the Janus business front end with public records access. A lot of information here, so you need to use a Matrix Search to find anything of value here.
Pod 2 corresponds to the physical security system.
Pod 3 contains information about the cloning program and Janus’ attempts to create a Matrix gestalt of the minds of the clones in the tanks.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

"Okay."

Digit's computerized voice comes in over the comms with some measure of finality.

"So, here's what we've got: Going to run a search on their public records for anything of interest. While I'm doing that, I can probably hack into some of their security system here, if need be, when we want to do that. Maybe some video of the escape, I'm thinking. There's also some information here about what they were doing in this room and... how they were trying to... combine their minds? These clones here."

There's a bit of a pause before she comes back.

"Ideas? Or should I just do what I do."

While speaking, Digit's mind is simultaneously giving command prompts to her Agent program, letting it run in the background to perform her search for her.

OOC:

A/S/D/F = 3/6+1/5/5+1. Programs: Agent (R4), Program Carrier: Sneak, Browse, Search, Encryption.

Ghost tilts her head, "I don't understand it either, but that clone-mind thing sounds like the data the Johnson is looking for."

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

"I'll see what I can find."

Digit focuses back on her targets, and approaches them, this time, with less-than-legal means. She will gather what she can from Pod 2 and 3 that she can, but will hack into whatever else might be out of her grasp in those pods.

She does this in a few steps; first she illegally acquires permissions, then she searches the files for data bombs, and then finally she cracks the files.

OOC:

Digit has been on Silent Running this whole time (hence the -2 penalty I've been taking), and she will continue to do so, to avoid IC. A/S/D/F = 3/6/5/5+1. Programs: Program Carrier (Sneak), Agent R4, Signal Scrub, Defuse.

When she performs the Matrix Searches, her programs will include Search instead of Defuse, but she'll switch back after.

Doing all of these rolls at once to save time. I'll roll them in the order Digit would perform them. Obviously if she found data bombs, she would attempt to defuse them before hacking into the files. In pod 3 she's trying to crack whatever evidence she can about what the Mr. J is looking for. In Pod 2 she's looking to crack into video surveillance files.

Hoping that I did this right!

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

You find no databombs and set to work cracking the second and third pod. You find security logs, and are able to access them. To your surprise, someone has already been here. Everything seems normal, then there's seems someone has scrubbed and erased the data because there is a two hour break until you see the same scene you've already accessed.

All it tells you is that whatever happened, it happened 8 days ago.

You have more success on pod 3, you find lots of files on genetic research, all of it way above your head. But Mr. Johnson would probably be happy.

All that remains is to find the ownership info the client requested.

While her Agent searches through the public records legally, Digit shifts her focus to Pod 1 in search of the ownership info.

Keeping the same settings, and doing the same process on Pod 1!

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Digit, you easily traverse the pod and are able to find lots and lots of info. There's a lot of boring financial and zoning information to wade through. But you are able to find proof that Shiawase has ownership of the real estate through several subsidiaries.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Digit's blank expression suddenly takes life as she emerges from the depths of the Matrix. Her face lights up into a smile as she looks at the others, "I've got what we need."

She looks to Puck, "Do we still want the cam footage? Should I dig further?"

if you have time to grab it, it wouldn't hurt to know what she looks like and what we're dealing with. anyway, we might find some paydata to sell on the side as well.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Digit gives Puck a firm nod, and then jacks back into the Matrix to do her work.

OOC:

Going to hack into Pod 2 and try and get some security footage. When I hacked into the other pods, were there other files there that I had noticed that may have been interesting?

Keeping the same setup as last time.

"I'm going to head topside and keep a watch for any company." Symbiote turns and heads up the stairs. He returns to his van and launches the flying eye.

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

You get access to all the records, but it seems someone has been inside and deleted all recordings while whatever happened here happened. Must have been a pretty good decker as well to hide his or her tracks so well.

Digit comes back into meatspace with a short gasp. After a moment of rubbing her eyes, she explains, "There's nothing on the cam feeds. It's all been scrubbed. Someone knew what they were doing, too."

Re: Episode 1: Chasin' the Wind

Finishing up at the Janus Industries building, you make your way back up to ground level, and then to what will hopefully be your last stop of the night.

New snow seems to have stopped falling, and you’re pretty sure the roads haven’t gotten any more treacherous. Of course, the wind still blows the snow in ways that most other cities would call a blizzard.

The Maker Collective is not so much a mall as a small city in itself. It’s a network of strip malls and offce buildings connected in a few places by canvas tunnels, almost like a giant hamster cage. It’s one of the few places in Chicago where the AR spam is as thick as the snow cover. You hear the sounds of workshops and hardware manufacturing even through the howling wind, and the occasional gust of wind brings the scent of ozone mixed with petroleum.

With the size of this place, you may be looking at a lot of legwork

From my research earlier, do I know of any locations where the target had been seen?
