The Second K'ril Incursion (SW Saga, KotOR era) [IC]

[stonegod]

Once Tomalor finishes what he can get from the memory cores, he volunteers to help with looking at the station logs if someone can show him an access point.

OOC: Lots of Use Computer, I'm guessing.

[sblock=OOC]Is the Korlen Phet (or the station?) equipped with any kind of sensor jamming equipment, like Kacela asked? I need to know before I can respond to her and decide on my course of action.[/sblock]

"Well, perhaps they have a better supercomputer? Ever thought of that?" Though her understanding of the whole matter is nebulous at best, her mean competitive streak makes it impossible for Sianni to just back down. "And if your security is that great your files surely have never been sliced, right? Now, how long would take for me to find someone able to do just that with the local Hutt? Five minutes? Ten? ... No, everything can be sliced. Period.

But the question was: Where are the cameras monitored from and whereto can their feed be re-routed. Unless, of course, that can't be sliced either."



OoC: Sianni is an absolut "computer-thingie" lay(wo)man so her train of thought runs such: High-Tech geniuses should be able to break "primitive" codes because ... because. Plus her usual milieu thrives on the stories/legends of super-slicers like Ghent who can crack everything.

[sblock=Hawke]
Both are, though the station's was damaged in the attack.

"You have to understand that people providing electronic security for criminal organizations work in fundamentally different ways than those working for legitimate businesses. Among other things, for a lot of reasons, those working in the underworld are much more likely to leave in 'back doors' which a skilled slicer can exploit or to let enough time pass between system upgrades that security that was effectively unbreakable when they got it has become easily breakable. Breaking computer security in the real world doesn't work like adventure holovids." Devan said.

What's with this guy and computers? Why does he even need a wife? For some reason Ijatsi just kept harping on this computer thing. Why, Sianni had no real idea and, even worse, he started to sound like some annoying sort of teacher. Thus she tried to get the the conversation back on track and away from this pesky topic.

"Yeah, yeah, and people don't buy spice from Hutts. Got it. No, really. Anyway, less preaching, more doing. The security cameras, remember?"

"There are pickups for most rooms on the station that can be monitored from the security office." Martina said. "But we should have picked up on it if anyone was transmitting to somewhere off-station."

OOC: Hey, the GM has a computer science degree...

 

[Douane]

Close to tying her lekku into knots in frustration, Sianni replies. "Perhaps, but I'm less concerned with 'off-station' and far more with 'on-station'. So the security office it is. Lead the way, Ijatsi, I'll follow because you'll need a real bodyguard if there's anyone monitoring us. Meanwhile your wife can show my friend over there where to access the logs," she finishes, indicating Tomalor with a lek.



Ooc: Well, this player hasn't. All of my father's technical aptitude was passed on to my brother and so I had to become a historian.

"Theta, head over to the security office with them. The rest of us will catch up to you when we're sure there's nothing more of interest in here," Kacela says.

 

[Douane]

Sianni glared at Kacela for a moment. How dare she spoil her fun?

"Actually I think it better if you have an eye on Tomalor, just in case. Nobody worry, I'll make sure that Ijatsi's really safe while he'll be checking out the goods ... err, cameras."
