[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1862082, member: 9646"] Jay attempts to track down the [I]Pilgrim[/I]. This takes him some time. In fact his first attempt is a relative failure. To begin with, the shuttle's computer and radar cannot track down a small ship across the solar system. However, Jay connects the infosphere (Internet) and searches the public information available in the [I]Space Traffic Control & Regulations Agency[/I] database. What he learns again, is that the [I]Pilgrim[/I] departed in direction of Jupiter almost one month ago, and should have reached it by now, or should reach it soon. No distress signal, but also no infomorph message concerning the whereabouts of the old spaceship, was ever sent, or at least received. You realize that to track down the [I]Pilgrim[/I] you will have to either: 1) Ask the [I]Space Traffic Control & Regulations Agency[/I], and as such bring attention to yourself, and so to the Telarion and Sarteck Inc. Maybe it would be better to remain discreet? The fact is, you would have to give some explanations as why you want to know, and others could learn you want to know. After all, making such long-distance scanning requires the use of powerful radars and takes time, plus costs money. 2) You could try to use the equipment of the Telarion to do the search, but despite having high performance sensors and radars, it's unlikely that you spot them from such a distance. In any case, you must first know the signal code of the [I]Pilgrim[/I]'s beacon, if indeed he has one functionning. [COLOR=Silver][OOC: To discreetly learn the signal-code of the [I]Pilgrim[/I]'s beacon, requires a hack Computer-Use check at DC=25. Then, to locate the spaceship from a so long distance, using the Telarion's radar, is very unlikely. It would require one Computer-Use check at DC=20, PLUS one Search check at DC=35. It would be much more easy if the Telarion was around Jupiter to perform the search... Of course, if the Telarion goes on into space, it will have much time to do a thorough search (and thus "take 20" on the check), while the DC will decrease as Jupiter is closer.][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
