How to get a free hotel room. A hacking test

Post by Imperator »

(Note: a 4 on the card draw is a club.)

Kyrin, being broke as a joke, decides to "convince" the hotel mainframe he has in fact prepaid his room fee through next week. His shoddy handheld is only a cheap cyber deck (power 1) but the hotels system is possibly older than the republic so is itself only a trivial system. He fortunately has a customer log in, charmed from the lovely twelik lass also staying there, to give him a foot in the door.

(His basic task modifiers are: system -1, deck +1, , user passcode +1. Net +1)

Task one: logging in. [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:0[/dice:2ujx31pv]
While the lady is still sleeping off the night before Ky gets to work. Plugging his mobile into the rooms comm he inputs the password and hacks past security.
Breaking in, 4 sucesses
Modifiers: 0 (should have been +1)
Hacking [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:1[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Wild [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:2[/dice:2ujx31pv] Ace [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:3[/dice:2ujx31pv] Ace! [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:4[/dice:2ujx31pv]
He breezes past the firewall in record time.

Task two: Avoid security [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:5[/dice:2ujx31pv]
While in he's not invisible, so Ky does his best to avoid intrusion scans and lay low as he creaps about the system.
Avoid security, two successes
Modifiers: +1
Hacking [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:6[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Wild [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:7[/dice:2ujx31pv] Ace [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:8[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Task three: Navigate the system [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:9[/dice:2ujx31pv]
As he moves through directories to find the accounts paid file Kyrin encounters some IC.
Navigate, failed-alert status initiated
Modifiers: Complication -2, base +1. Net -1
Hacking [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:10[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Wild [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:11[/dice:2ujx31pv]
The IC gets enough of a bead on the Wroonians digital signature to trigger an alert!! this will make things more difficult.

Task four: Manipulate the system [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:12[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Having found his target Ky begins to rework the files to hook himself and Venc up with a double that will allow his "emotional support cat" in.
Manipulate the system, one success
Modifiers: base +1, alert -1. Net 0
Hacking [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:13[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Wild [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:14[/dice:2ujx31pv]
He convinces the computer system his account is indeed checked in and prepaid.

Task five: clean up and log out [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:15[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Having set up a room for himself the hacker covers his tracks, making sure nothing will trace back to his unwitting accomplice.
Clean up, one success
Modifiers: base +1, alert -1. Net 0
Hacking [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:16[/dice:2ujx31pv]
Wild [dice:2ujx31pv]65167:17[/dice:2ujx31pv]
He gets every trace of the hacked wiped out and still has time for a shower before Synespra awakes. "I'd love to stay for a wake up tumble dear but got business today, maybe some other time."


Hack successful!!
((Note having gotten two extra success the GM could then assign some bonus. In this case something like a room upgrade or a tefund of money he "accidentally overpaid".))
