CPU take some times to hack teh cell phone company.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Oops, made my roll with my old modifier, it should have been +14, not +12. I think Highbrow can give an help with a +2 on help another roll. Here my rolls:

22 +2 (to correct mistake, should be +14, not +12) +2 (aid another from highbrow) = 26
RR if needed from feat:
28 +2 (to correct mistake, should be +14, not +12) +2 (aid another from highbrow) = 32

If 32 isn't enough, they have a crack for there security specialist...

And if it is an hidden roll that you don't want us to know, just RR and don't tell us [/SBLOCK]

"Finish... it seems to be in place, and I can hardly see how they could find that..."

(OOC: CPU, we'll say Highbrow takes the time to write a backdoor to help with the hacking, giving you yet another +2. By the way, for some reason I thought you had a higher Computers skill--actually, if you only have +14, then Highbrow's +20 is always going to be slightly better than +14 roll twice, although they are comparable. Even with a +16 rolling twice is usually better, and +18 rolling twice is pretty much always better.)

*Highbrow and CPU manage to hack into the cell phone company's system, where they place a listener program that listens for certain words in various languages. There will of course be some misses and false positives due to the current state of voice recognition and the flaky quality of cell phone reception. Also, they decide that keeping a direct datalink open is likely to be detected, so they have the information periodically sent to a proxy server that they can check occasionally.*

(OOC: What languages are we looking at then?)

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Turkish, Arabe and English would be the three main langages that would be interesting. I think the program would mainly focus on these. There might be many languages on the side, but the research would be less refine in their case. These langages with unrefine search would be most likely many local dialect, like the Kurde and the Laze, some internationally known language, like French, Spanish, Deutch, Russian and Catonese, and any that could be spoken by reknown terrorrism organization. Maybe H4H would add a language to that list.

In resume:
Focus: Turkish, Arabe, English
Not Focus:
Dialect: Kurde, Laze...
International: French, Spanish, Deutch, Russian, Catonese...

If it bring a lot of message, CPU will leave Highbrow and his speeddy mind to make a first cleaning of the message.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=OOC]What do you mean by unrefined? Does that mean it would be possible to miss something in, say Russian, if the conversation didn't contain obvious buzzwords? Would your program catch something like "Everyone, we meet at Kurtalan at noon." in Russian? How about in Turkish?[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=OOC]If highbrow can do an exhaustive dictionnary, it is sure we will include as many language as possible, starting by the three names. After that, i would rather go for local language and finally for international language. but I think we must limit it somehow, at least for not taking all the place on the harddrive and get cought. For that, we must put 'buzzwords'. Turkish, English and Arabe would be the three with the most exhaustive buzzwords list (and maybe something more than just buzzword). The other would have a less exhautive list of buzzwords. So if someone is telling the word bomb in French, it would be ctach, but you example wouldn't be catch. It is how I see it. Maybe H4H would like to add something.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=OOC]That's what I figured, but I just wanted to check with you to make sure--I agree that doing something incredibly exhaustive is going to quickly overload the hard drive.[/SBLOCK]

OOC:[sblock] Something that I am sure your genius character knows, but that you don't, is that you need to include Farsi/Persian in that list. Its the official language of Iran. Ethnic Iranians are actually Persians, not Arabs. They only use Arabic for the Koran.[/sblock]

OOC:[sblock] I was also going to suggest Farsi. Seemed like a big credential in Syriana.
