[QUOTE="Mosier, post: 6569209, member: 6776381"] The room Heartbreak wants to work in is highlighted on the other runners' comlinks, as well as the locations of the security teams. Casper is the first to realize that there really isn't any way to approach the security team without having the echoing footsteps of her partners warning the team well in advance. Maybe it would work if Heartbreak could make the guard's comlink malfunction and blare music or something, but otherwise she just doesn't think it's likely she could get close enough to taze him, unless she did it alone. And it seems like Heartbreak has enough on his mind already to worry about causing a distraction... Meanwhile Heartbreak is subjected to another attempt by the patrol IC to find him. [COLOR="#008000"]Patrol IC roll -[B] 2 hits[/B] Heartbreak roll - [B]3 hits[/B][/COLOR] He stays hidden for now, but even with the huge skill disparity between them the IC is bound to get lucky eventually. Heartbreak analyzes one of the drone icons at random. He's able to get a lot of information about them. First, he realizes the drones can absolutely function independently of the operator, so just taking out the human won't stop the threat of his drone team. In fact, it looks like the drone operator is only there for raising the alarm if his team comes under attack. Second, he sees that the drones can be remotely shut down. This is strange, as there is no device on the handler which could do such a thing. Maybe the kill switch is in the security office? Third, the drones have been modified to fire only non-lethal ammo, instead of having the option to switch between lethal or non-lethal as Heartbreak originally thought. Instead of having a reserve set of ammo, the drones are equipped with a camera. They're not networked, either, so Heartbreak would have to shut down each camera individually. The cameras are not actively monitored, and the feed isn't wireless, so the cameras are only useful for someone who is reviewing something that already happened, not for real-time. [/QUOTE]
