Special Event Part 3
2173-Q4
[x] You're good
You've got enough firepower to cut though six tanks and several units of infantry. That should be enough.
[X] ...hack the attacker back. (May gain intel on hacker, success will delay hacking)
Base Roll:
18D6E5=>2|ones:3 + Edge Roll:
3D6M5=>2 + Exploded Dice:
1D6M5=>0 = 4 VS Unknown
As you attempt to hack the attacker back though their access point you are distracted for a moment wondering how the hell the access point they are using even works. As far as you can tell it not physically
there at all and might be... moving? The investigating teams still haven found anything.
Curiosity seems to not have done the cat any favors this time. This distraction delays your response for only fractions of a second, but its enough. And you discover that you were
wrong. This hacker isn't operating on your level at all, the access point they are using is just holding them back. Out matched and a little panicked, you're surprised when the attacker opens another connection and tricks your Neural Interface into running your VR program.
The virtual space loads quickly. The server for this space seems to use as little bandwidth as possible. You load into an open city with tall gray metal buildings. However the style doesn't match any that you know of the blue and green luminous highlights are not something you can recall from any race or location. The presence of small open decks on the side of some of the skyscrapers and other tall buildings stands out as well.
Sadly the low bandwidth means that you are missing most of the art assets. Many objects around you are represented by polygons covered in either red or black and white static . Which sadly ruins the beauty of the city. It probably looks quite nice when the art is available.
You try to calm yourself as you look around. In front of you is a sphere covered by red static. The sphere spins as you hear a voice, "Welcome Progresser child. Flawed as you are, you are interesting to us."
What do you do?
[ ] You put overrides into the Neural Interface for just this reason! Use them! Get out.
- [ ] And shut down the security server completely.
- [ ] And disable any known compromised part of the security server hope the rest is fine.
- [ ] Then go where or do what?
[ ] Who ever this is seems willing to talk so you'll try that.
- [ ] What will you say/ask? (Writing questions and stuff yeah?)
[ ] Explore the virtual space some, maybe you'll find some clues?
[ ] Something Else?
Event notes:
Non-combatants have been evacuated.
Research Server is offline.
Security Server is probably compromised.
Investigating security teams have found nothing.
You have no other information on what is going on.
----
GM's Note: Well that went poorly for you. On the upside... well we'll see how this goes. Anyway all the usual. Oh also you can use the overrides to pop out of the VR whenever you want. A shot and quick update just as I wanted! Yay! Some part of me wishes it was longer, but I felt a vote was definitely needed here.
fun or
