How far down the shadowrun hole do we want to go on this one step of the plan? And how detailed into the depths of tinker-tech scientific rationale?
Just imagining ways to hack into a shelter from the outside....does it have security cameras to monitor the perimeter? How about copying Watchdogs 1 and transmitting data via optical imput that causes one of the usual hacking tricks (overflow with bad or specially-formed data, causes error, allows command imput to be accepted) , since the camera would clearly be sending data into the larger security network (even better if theres anything like IFF to manage alarms or turrets).
Is it completely isolated with its own water and power systems? (it is an endbringer shelter after all.... BUT we were told it was identified as a target because its drawing on city power right?) ? If not, use that connection to 1. overload power systems, or cut them 2. use the simple "electrical feed into device" as a connection that could then bridge from the PSU to the CPU (that level of fine-detail electrokinesis, sending intelligible data signals along the same line as raw AC/DC power, might require Exotic Physics on friggin Behemoth or something, but Simurgh would get a Tink-on the moment she heard the idea
) to seize the system that way
How thick are the protective walls? (Yeah its a shelter, but noones trying to tank a directed blast from Behemoth, maaaybe a non-targeted Tsunami from Leviathan if it pops up from the Great Lakes or something). Can Vista use her space-warping to get us access to the electrical wiring of the base from the outside? Or even better, can Vista allow Perfect Storm/Dragons "Within a few feet" limitation to be manipulated to "safely far" while say they access whatever security-panel is used to enter the base in the first place? (Assuming thats not just a dumb keypad linked only to the door... but a paranoid villain likely wants access logs and alerts when the place is entered right? Even moreso failed attempts setting off the alarms)
@LancerisDead if
@Silently Watches likes any of these ideas to not kindly shoot down for us, maybe add them in? (Or is that necessary, compared to say leaving details to the actual experts once we've voted for it to happen and given QM an explanation of plausibility? The last few updates have had everyone but Taylor suggest the things we voted on, seemed like)
