squat logs

<Nighzmarquls> what?
<Nighzmarquls> oooh
<Nighzmarquls> yes I do
<Kato> Yeah
<Nighzmarquls> how can I help?
<Kato> Well
<Kato> I'm going to grab some data from his commlink
<Kato> His contacts
<Xander> wait
<Kato> Then you can run those through a wicked search
<Xander> you're UNerasing Squat?
<Kato> No no
<Kato> Just finding out what his past is
<Xander> ?
<Xander> OH.
<Nighzmarquls> hummm
<Ithaca> Also is Xander going to call his doctor friend?
<Nighzmarquls> yea I can do that :)
<Kato> Unerasing some one...
<Xander> getting around it.
<Ithaca> Or did no one get that hurt?
<Kato> That'd be making a sin pretty much
<Xander> I have a doctor friend?
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Nighzmarquls> unerasing would take like
<Nighzmarquls> a year
<Xander> it was s
<Ithaca> Vic
<Nighzmarquls> wait was ANYONE hurt?
<Xander> stun.
<Ithaca> Ahhh
<Kato> Liver punch
<Ithaca> No need
<Ithaca> XD liver punch~
<Kato> Hm
<Kato> Well I guess the physical records are out of the question
<Kato> Those would be in L.A.
<Kato> Does that even exist anymore
<Kato> Huh
<Ithaca> Yes
<Kato> I... I don't think pagan knew they were moving to a different country
<Kato> In fact
<Kato> Los Angeles is run by the pcc
<Ithaca> Yeah
<Kato> Peublo Corporate Council
<Kato> So he has a sin
<Ithaca> Wait isn't it the CalFree?
<Kato> And a corporate sin at that
<Kato> Eh?
<Ithaca> Also snuggling
<Kato> Maybe
<Nighzmarquls> wait so do I need to do anything?
<Kato> it was annexed in 2061
<Nighzmarquls> or we just planning the basics?
<Ithaca> Smuggling*
<Xander> sleeepy time
<Xander> ttyl
<Kato> You can help me plan
<Nighzmarquls> adiu
<Nighzmarquls> hmmm
<Nighzmarquls> well Silky is pretty much all about the not being noticed, sending data spoofs that kind of thing
<Nighzmarquls> oh and data trawling
<Nighzmarquls> wide search of large databases
<Nighzmarquls> so get silky into any database and it probably will be completely sifted with a fine tooth comb
<Kato> This just bothers me
<Kato> You can just UGH
<Nighzmarquls> can complex forms be used by other people?
<Kato> Okay so
<Kato> No sorry
<Nighzmarquls> damn
<Nighzmarquls> would be nice to have your threaded stealth
<Nighzmarquls> NO ONE WOULD EVER FIND ME
<Kato> Squat is born
<Kato> Gets corp sin
<Kato> Parents are affluent
<Kato> Squat achieves national fame
<Nighzmarquls> parents want to hide ties
<Kato> Of course working for a PCC record label
<Kato> No see
<Kato> At this point squat's a product
<Nighzmarquls> ah
<Nighzmarquls> ...
<Nighzmarquls> SHIT
<Kato> And one hacker is hiding him
<Kato> From the entirety of the pcc
<Nighzmarquls> 0.o
<Nighzmarquls> okay
<Nighzmarquls> you can KIND of do that
<Nighzmarquls> actually ya you can do that
<Nighzmarquls> but
<Nighzmarquls> DAMN
<Kato> It's just
<Nighzmarquls> who is that guy
<Kato> Yeah fine you erased his sin
<Kato> PCC isn't going to let him go
<Kato> They own him
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Nighzmarquls> I think the hacker is PCC
<Kato> Holy shit this is the worst backstory
<Nighzmarquls> only thing that would make sense
<Nighzmarquls> the PCC is letting him 'run free range' to protect their investment
<Nighzmarquls> because he needs to be coddled or whatever
<Kato> Maybe
<Kato> Maybe
<Nighzmarquls> but he wants to be a shadow runner
<Kato> PLOT TWIST
<Nighzmarquls> they can't let him do that without other corps being super angry
<Kato> We're all actors
<Nighzmarquls> so they must give him deniability
<Nighzmarquls> so he is hidden
<Kato> This is all to set up for Squat's new trid show
<Kato> ...
<Nighzmarquls> maestro...
<Kato> I can't think of a name
<Nighzmarquls> GOD DAMN IT MAESTRO!
<Kato> Shadow Squat
<Nighzmarquls> actually we don't have to be actors
<Kato> No good names
<Nighzmarquls> all that stuff squat is having dissipeared?
<Nighzmarquls> it's actually going into a archive
<Nighzmarquls> to be used to write scripts
<Nighzmarquls> so they can pull a 'based on the life of famous rapper squat boy'
<Kato> Well this should be way easier now
<Kato> But this is so stupid
<Kato> So very stupid
<Nighzmarquls> I kind of like it, but it does make squat a TOTAL POSER
<Nighzmarquls> like
<Nighzmarquls> really
<Nighzmarquls> seriously
<Nighzmarquls> he is only saved because his position is so absurd it's difficult to believe he is actually squat boy
<Nighzmarquls> thats like doctor dre becoming an assasin
<Nighzmarquls> you don't believe it
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Nighzmarquls> squat is a poser and his hacker is on corporate payroll to make nice
<Kato> Mutt already calls squat a Shadowposeur
<Nighzmarquls> they have plans to either bank roll the 'tragic story of rapper legend squat boy' as a worst case scenario
<Nighzmarquls> or they are gonna let him have a creative resurgence from this sabbatical
<Kato> I'm really conflicted here
<Nighzmarquls> or they will turn it into a running trid show based on the life and adventures of squat boy
<Kato> One way we can mess with squat and reveal his past
<Kato> The other we can break his legs and then reveal his past
<Nighzmarquls> heck his 'hacker' might even be a team of specialists
<Nighzmarquls> depending on how much moola he brings in
<Kato> FUck me
* IthaItha (~Ithaca@user-118bmq2.cable.mindspring.com) has joined #CPShadowrun
<Kato> Yeah
<Nighzmarquls> oh and there is probably at least one AI we have to worry about associated with squat boy who is apparently a fan (OOC info)
<Nighzmarquls> it lives in his house
<Nighzmarquls> and writes trashy novels about him
<Kato> This backstory is one hundred times better than what pagan wrote
<Kato> At least it makes sense
<Nighzmarquls> ...
<Nighzmarquls> hehe
<Nighzmarquls> eh his characterization seems okay
* Ithaca has quit (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<Nighzmarquls> but I've not run with him yet
<Kato> Tch
<Kato> It was not pleasant
<Nighzmarquls> well keep in mind both backstories could be true
<Nighzmarquls> there is the backstory squat believes happened
<Nighzmarquls> and what hte corp is actually doing
<Kato> It looked like he was going to bring groupies along on our run
<Nighzmarquls> we should probably give BTM our idea
<Kato> We bitched at him
<Nighzmarquls> oooh
<Neopie> Yes, we should, Nighz.
<Kato> Then he gets spooked and drive-bys our marks
<Kato> Then he gets pissy when they fuck up his car
<Kato> Though to be honest that was a bomb
<Nighzmarquls> ya know, this all seems very in character for a shadowposuer though
<Neopie> Can we just make this Pagan's character
<Kato> Unaffiliated bomb
<Nighzmarquls> I can't really fault it for not being what I'd expect a rapper who is trying to be a shadowrunner ot be like
<Nighzmarquls> it's exactly as I'd expect
<Kato> Okay so
<Kato> He's 24
<Kato> It's 2072
<Kato> Born 2048
<Kato> Grew up in calfree
<Kato> 2061 PCC annexes the shit out of Los Angeles
<Kato> So technically
<Kato> He has two sins
<Kato> One from calfree which still exists and one corp sin from the pcc
<Kato> Is that how it works?
<Kato> I wish btm was here...
<Kato> BestTeaMaker
<Kato> BestTeaMaker
<Kato> BestTeaMaker
<Kato> That actually worked a disproportionate amount of times
<Kato> One time I did it and not only did that person show up but they updated their game within say three minutes
<Kato> It was fantastic
<Neopie> I SUMMON THEE
<Neopie> MAKER OF TEA
<Neopie> RUNNER OF SHADOWS
<Neopie> THE MAESTRO WHO DIRECTS THE SCOOOORE
<Neopie> COME TO ME! BTM! UUUUUAAAAAAAAH!
* Neopie pours the incense in the fire.
* Nighzmarquls looks around
* Nighzmarquls sighs
<Nighzmarquls> well
<Nighzmarquls> ALL SINS were lost in crash 2.0
<Nighzmarquls> so when was crash 2.0 again?
<Neopie> Wasn't Crash 2.0 more than 24 years ago though?
<Nighzmarquls> I dunno
<Nighzmarquls> too tired to check book
<Nighzmarquls> I am literally that tired
<Kato> Let me see
<Kato> And no
<Kato> Not all sins
<Neopie> Looks like it was
<Neopie> Between 59 and 65
<Kato> Plenty of time for him to get it back
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Kato> Plus his parents would have been the first in line to get access to their money again
<Kato> Assuming they lost them at all
<Nighzmarquls> hum
<Nighzmarquls> okay...
<Nighzmarquls> well I still like corporation is secretly hiding him and archiving all the data to use to build a trid series
<Kato> Crash was 2055
<Nighzmarquls> and part of the way his famousness comes back to haunt later
<Nighzmarquls> is they actually start releasing the trids
<Kato> We had Super AI doing shit between 59-65
<Nighzmarquls> WHILE HE IS STILL A RUNNER
<Neopie> No, it wasn't 55
<Nighzmarquls> but they hire actors
<Kato> 64 I mean
<Neopie> That was part of the leadup
<Kato> Ahem
<Nighzmarquls> to play like
<Nighzmarquls> the roles
<Nighzmarquls> so there is like some horrible typecast versions of us
<Kato> Woops
<Neopie> The AIs doing shit
<Nighzmarquls> and a look-alike of squat
<Neopie> Was what /caused/
<Neopie> the crash
<Kato> Right right
<Neopie> Clearly, instead of the Exchange
<Neopie> We have 'PCC TV division'
<Neopie> Who will randomly throw us bones
<Neopie> If we edge for them
<Kato> November 2, 2064
<Kato> There
<Neopie> yaay dates
<Kato> Specificity
<Neopie> wait it was only 8 years ago?
<Neopie> huh
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Kato> Yep
<Nighzmarquls> they are STILL setting sins up
<Nighzmarquls> thats why it's actually as easy as it is to set them up
<Neopie> Yeah
<Nighzmarquls> and lots of places are willing to give away free sins
<Neopie> The only reason Arachnae doesn't have one is because she has Negative Erased, more or less
<Neopie> Or did when Crash happened. I guess she got jaded and thrill hooked fast. >>
<Neopie> Either that or, retcon
<Neopie> She just lost her SIN in the crash and wasn't able to get it back
<Neopie> That makes infinite more sense
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Nighzmarquls> probably some random shuffle in the system
<Neopie> I'll just retcon it to that
<Kato> So
<Nighzmarquls> heck some one might have stolen her number before she got it
<Nighzmarquls> and synced it to a different biometric
<Kato> I really doubt squat's been a rapper for 8+ years
<Nighzmarquls> ya
<Nighzmarquls> I think three tops
<Kato> I would have said two
<Nighzmarquls> and only famous for a few months
<Neopie> you know
<Neopie> it's kinda /cheap/ for SINs, compared to the amount of labor they supposedly take
<Kato> hehe
<Nighzmarquls> I'm guessing they spread that out amongst multiple specialists
<Nighzmarquls> to produce in bulk
<Kato> I can strip fake sins of any useful function
<Kato> Takes time
<Nighzmarquls> and the lower quality ones are a lot easier to make then the higher
<Nighzmarquls> a fake SIN of rating 1 or so is pretty easy actually
<Kato> There used to be an interesting rule
<Nighzmarquls> and demand probably plays a part
<Nighzmarquls> there are only SO MANY people who want the higher quality one at a given time
<Kato> An older fake sin would be better than a brand new fake sin
<Nighzmarquls> so a fake SIN might get made
<Kato> The older one gets credit history and so on
<Nighzmarquls> and then sit
<Nighzmarquls> in a box
<Nighzmarquls> waiting to be bought
<Nighzmarquls> so ya it took a few months to make
<Kato> No that'd be suspicious as shit
<Nighzmarquls> well you don't have to wait several months for a fake sin
<Nighzmarquls> so they must be made beforehan d
<Kato> I see here you bought no products of any kind from Date X to Date Y
<Nighzmarquls> eh
<Nighzmarquls> just cuz it's not owned does not mean it's not being used
<Nighzmarquls> probably like a chore for people who do ID stuff
<Nighzmarquls> they have people use the SINs to keep them fresh
<Kato> Sounds good
<Nighzmarquls> but that means holdign onto a SIN is gonna cost you money
<Neopie> RAting 6 fake sins
<Neopie> on average
<Nighzmarquls> so you would want to sell them for a discount
<Neopie> took more than a year to make
<Neopie> by my calculations
<Nighzmarquls> BTM promised I'd get to have shorter timeframes for purely digital stuff... so you might be able to third that stuff for hackers that work in pure hot sim setting up the sin
<Nighzmarquls> because ya some of their time to do things is kinda... broke
<Nighzmarquls> and we can probably assume their checks have specialization in sin making for forgery
<Nighzmarquls> so that gives a nice +2
<Kato> Have I mentioned how dumb it is that forgery is modified by agility
* acecipher (~acecipher@user-118bmq2.cable.mindspring.com) has joined #CPShadowrun
<Nighzmarquls> if it's a matrix check and I was GM I would waive the agility for your edit software
<Nighzmarquls> or some other comparable checks
<Nighzmarquls> hum
<Nighzmarquls> I want to kinda
<Nighzmarquls> vegetate and watch something animated
<Nighzmarquls> any suggestions?
<ratstar> ghost in the shell
<Neopie> Well
<Neopie> For forging PAPER DOCUMENTS that makes sense, but...
* IthaItha has quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
* BestTeaMaker (Mibbit@ip68-5-34-211.oc.oc.cox.net) has joined #CPShadowrun
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to BestTeaMaker
<Nighzmarquls> ho BTM
<Neopie> Ho, BTM-chan-kun-sama-senpai
<BestTeaMaker> ho
<Neopie> I'm ready to do thing!
<Nighzmarquls> so we had some neat ideas
<BestTeaMaker> hm?
<acecipher> Yay BTM
<BestTeaMaker> ALL DENIED
* BestTeaMaker raises the GM hammer
<acecipher> D:
<BestTeaMaker> anyways continue
<Nighzmarquls> but these are evil GM things you can do :)
* acecipher was going to call his sister...
<Neopie> Oh, BTM!
<Neopie> ...
<Nighzmarquls> mainly the idea is squat's 'hacker' is actually a team for the corp that owns his label and they are collecting all the data to use as script fodder for a trid
<Neopie> Lemme just CP them into a pastebin. :P
