    Cool.

    That would be hilarious.

    I just posted, but your follow-up would be so cool –

    Al thinks he’s so clever with his panto display, and them Becky launches up from the deck and flies towards them to create a REAL distraction – just don’t get yourself shot down – you’ll be tough to fish out of the ocean!

    I went along with it, but if Lilly is already on the other boat, even at 67km/h + the speed of the other boat, Rebbeca is unlikely to get into range in time to make a difference. Hopefully, Lilly would either wait for Rebbeca to get into bow range – or use the distraction.

    Jack Rebbeca has thermal damping R6. Not to say that she would not be visible through thermal vision – but it should be just as hard as with regular vision.

    Ah, sorry, in that case let me roll that, assuming you have wireless on

    How many outboard motors does Lily need to destroy??

    Repeat shot on second outboard…done a bit more research on mods but feel free to knock off more D if required

    Agi 11, Pistols 6, Smart 1, Call Shot Vitals (outboard) -4, Aim 1, Edge 7, -2 waves (firing from running/moving vehicle comparable to firing from the waves?), -1 Medium range 20m (more if further off)

    Def roll (without any mods for fire modes or being in the cover of water) React 7 Intuition 5 Will 8 = 20d6t5: 6 [20d6t5=3, 2, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1, 6, 5, 2, 1, 6, 6, 2, 1]

    If it looks close I can edge re-roll on this…

    The second motor dies too.

    I assume you dive with your next action.

    Lily is hard but not that hard… I think an edge point to re-roll 14D should give her the 2 hits she needs to duck down under the surface with a cheery wave 🙂

    Edge 4/7

    @Beta
    FYI: The RCC is running silent and is by now 2 km away, so you are looking at Noise 3 for distance and a 4 static zone
    To find the RCC you need to beat a threshold of 3

    If you do:

    As when I shot at the boat – using the scope to cut range, then can center 11 dice worth of boat motion or whatever other penalties.

    Four aims – one to use scope, the other three for extra dice.

    I suppose these things might have more defense than the inflatable did, so will provide rolls.

    So here are 15 shots – probably more than I’ll need with Preston and Becky also at work.

    Thanks Jack. Sorry I didn’t get to dice rolling yesterday (was a strange day). Will squeeze it in today somewhere.

    Unless Al just shoots them all down, first :p

    Too bad Lilly’s already back aboard, we could have aimed to drop one where she could recover it if she was still on the way back.

    That leaves 8 Drones operational after 15 Complex Actions. Al has on average 3.5 Actions per Round. So about 12 seconds go by or four Rounds while the drones fly at high speed towards your boat. Luckily for you, they need to get close to 60 m before they can engage. At 120km/h they need a full minute to close to the ship.
    i.e. You’ve still got a chance to take them down, but now they are closing in on full defense with 14 defense dice.

    Ok, 7 noise, threshold 3 to find the RCC.

    stack up 6 points of noise reduction from datajack, vectored signal filter, and run signal scrub program. Go in hot sim for the +2 dice, -3 for noise, leaves him at net 11 dice
    spot RCC: 11d6t5 3

    Was that a threshold to hit, or to exceed?

    If that works, then try marking the RCC. It has base firewall 9+1 from mod, +1 from Encryption =11. Will 6, total 17 dice to resist. Preston has base 15+2 from hot sim, but again -1 noise, so 16 dice. Bit of a toss up, but let’s see
    HotF: 16d6t5 2
    RCC resist HotF: 15d6t5 8 +2 that I didn’t roll because I typed in the wrong number: rcc resist +2: 2d6t5 1 = 9 for the RCC defense

    Well, that was … emphatic.

    After that Preston does a quick re-boot to clear the resulting mark, and takes an action to drop to AR and observe in detail to see how Al is doing, with a free action to communicate that he can’t hack the RCC.

    Then back to hotsim, to try and hack drones as they get closer. Closer should start dropping noise, so let’s guess he’s hitting some when the noise to them is 6, balancing his noise reduction. Still protected by the RCC, as I understand it
    HotFon drone A: 17d6t5 6
    drone A (RCC) resist: 15d6t5 3 He get’s his first mark … but he needs two
    HotF drone A: 17d6t5 6
    drone A (RCC) resist: 15d6t5 4 and secondmark

    He commands the drone to eject its ammo, a simple action, but because no related skill for that action uses EW+intuition [sleaze] vs intuition + data processing. RCC data processing is 2 lower than RCC because of mods, and rigger’s intuiton is 5
    eject clip: 11d6t5 1
    drone A (RCC) resist: 13d6t5 3

    Rebbeca will help with the bow once they get into 600 meters range, and will use centering to negate the penalties (and simplify my life).

    Fire bow: 15#19d6t5 9 9 9 6 4 6 5 6 4 4 3

    dodge drones: 15#10d6t5 5 5 5 7 2 2 4 1 3 5 4

    I believe that by joining Al we’ll be safe.

    1. hit + 4 net hits
    2. hit + 4 net hits
    3. hit + 4 net hits
    4. miss
    5. hit + 2 net hits
    6. hit + 3 net hits
    7. hit + 1 net hit
    8. hit + 5 net hits.
    9. hit + 1 net hits

    8 hits in 9 actions – I assume the drones would not survive a bow hit, either completely destroyed or because of handling penalty…
