@NightWolfe, please be sure you mention your character's name at least once in all of your IC posts.
I'm bringing my pistol, but it won't do any good in a vacuum.
Is Crash connected to the entire ship (as he said he was to the 2 guys that tried to high jack it). If he is how exactly would he identify Vel,
how exactly would he identify Vel, as his connection to the ship would be completely foreign to him as it is a human(ish) brain connecting to the main computer
Finally if Crash was able to sense Vel wouldn't the reverse be true and Vel would know about him being connected to the computer
Cool.Just to be clear on how his connection works, Vel can only connect while concentrating on the connection, other than those times he isnt connected to the computer in any way.
He is the computer.I would like to ask a few questions also. Is Crash connected to the entire ship (as he said he was to the 2 guys that tried to high jack it).
The same way computers to that today: IP Addresses. Your character access will leave a trace, and since Crash already knows who has been accessing it before (because he is the computer) he would recognize a new access.If he is how exactly would he identify Vel, as his connection to the ship would be completely foreign to him as it is a human(ish) brain connecting to the main computer.
This is exactly why Crash would sense someone like Vel and identify it as such.(I want to point out that to me it would make sense that he would sense the trespass but identifying it instantly as Vel is a little difficult to believe when it would be the first time he every would have sensed something like him).
No. A certain security agency does that right now, do you know that they are doing it?Finally if Crash was able to sense Vel wouldn't the reverse be true and Vel would know about him being connected to the computer?
In that range, he would detect a wireless access point to the ship's main computer, although it seems more like an overlooked security node or a backdoor to him. He would be able to hack into the ship's computer this way, although it isn't clear from a quick scan just how much access or control he would have.
I apologize for overstepping Vel's abilities.
I seen that crash was from somewhere else yet accesses the computer wirelessly while never having problems with security or anything else and assumed that without the lockout codes that Sienna put in before their little adventure onto Black Moon that the general security of the system was rather minimal at best.
"I've seen that Crash was somewhere else, yet had access to the computer wirelessly while never having problems with the computer or anything else(...)"
Meanwhile, Crash worked to override all internal controls for the hatches, although the ship's stilted computer infrastructure slowed his progress. .
Also for the part about asking privately what he would find i was actually simply trying to make sure you were ok with how i set it up as the wiki page for the augments is just the general definition of what kind of augments there are and nothing that actually states what is available besides a few examples which i tried to keep as close to as i possibly could (unless i misunderstood some of them in which case i could change/remove it).
I also thought i was clear about him using some of his time that he was "Sleeping" to analyze the different systems he found in case he needed to use them at a later date like i said he would need to do.
While everyone else was watching the space flight to the derelict ship Vel remained in his appointed room doing a mix of meditating and monitoring the flight and got quite a surprise when he seen the condition the ship was in.
Also on the note of what he found when he searched, despite it being closer ( ie. in the next room), Vel never sensed that there was 2 robotic units or the unnumbered amount of other data jockeys including Sienna's own personal wrist mounted version
which crash has accessed twice now despite not having an address to send things to her which wouldn't be able to be written off as him having access to the main computer so he has her address as they are two completely different systems and not ingrained into one another otherwise Sienna would have known much earlier about the 2 hyjackers without Crash needing to send her a message to warn her.
Now I don't mean to make it sound like I'm complaining or that i think i am in the right. I just want to be clear that from my perspective there has been a lot of assumptions made during the roleplay just in the short time i have been here especially concerning the computers and wireless access.
The range of his search would be (if acceptable to you)15- 20 feet ignoring visual barriers but can't tell what they are only that they are there. Further time to examine the units would be needed to tell what they are which he won't get without private time (sleep time/toilet/relaxing ect.)
