Kiwi is a netrunner, they're not the best people to piss off.
You don't get in a heavy prank fight with someone whose nano-vat you're expecting to spend time in.
Yeah, which would why Taylor calls her Cado and she can't get anyone else to follow along.
Also, who would? That doesn't sound like Gloria, and Kiwi's team are Kiwi's team - nevermind being a runner, she's notably their boss...
Can't be that hard to find social-fu software to upload to one's OS.
'a day'?
She probably isn't as good as she claims, and might have special software for it. I imagine her and "Sweetpea" have been chuckling at home every time Taylor mentions "roommate this roommate that" to her at work. So it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to see the moment of realisation when Taylor realised they weren't "roommates."
Interesting. I found speedware to be (annoyingly) common among the higher end mooks in 2077. Then again, we're still like over a decade and a rather significant war before that point in time, so that way of operating may change in the future.
Hai Tattletale
So, two days in the next month? That doesn't seem like much honestly.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. You really shouldn't be surprised by this - he reacted waaay too fast, and with no jump ups in his speed from his initial reaction for the not to be a Krenzikov. Still, it is kinda weird how much chrome and power the guards were packing for how... sloppy this guy's whole operation was. You wouldn't expect guards that tough to be so unprofessional (playing cards, no message to the boss to alert him that trouble was here, etc.)
A war in which, at least in this version, the NUSA seems to be actively encouraging more mercenaries equipped with Sandys.
Lisa was never as good as she thinks she is. Honestly, I think the only reason I like the canon version is because her 1 (one) scruple caused her to be kind to canon Taylor. This one doesn't seem to be nearly as much of a horrible person, though.
Maybe not-Coil prioritized buying good chrome for people he knew personally? You can chip good 'ware into idiots.
I like this. I'm stealing it. It's mine now.
No kidding. Your warehouse has been having unfriendly visitors for a long time, during which it's been in the awkward zone of "too important to ignore" and "not important enough to prioritize". You get the info and ZOOM off you go without a care in the world. It wasn't a rush job, you could have taken a few days to research and scout.
I'd give it 20% odds.
They might have sent a message and had it blocked by a do-not-disturb setting...
"centimeters of height a day,"
Possibly, but you don't tend to make enough money to buy a whole floor of an apartment and really good chrome, if you're that sloppy
That should let them know that he didn't know and have them switch to priority defense, rather than the complete rage offense those guys fell into
(A) I don't quite see the logic, either for them definitely knowing he didn't see the message, or them changing tactics radically based on the information.
Huh. And if he'd inherited that kind of money, he wouldn't be doing his own damn threatening messages on random companies... Maybe he prioritized people who he knew wouldn't slit his throat for being a pedo?
If Sarah's characterization is accurate, maybe he cares more about hiring badasses than highly-professional security operators.
I would assume any basic communications system with such a privacy mode would let the sender know that their message wasn't received, especially for his bodyguards.
