    Jin Sakurai Greed, Fame, Safety

    main {IcePick; Asi Augment; Corporate Spy} {Unspent Token}

    Jin smiles at Visigoth. "No, my friend, the front entrance is definitely not your style," he says. "Personally, I'd suggest the employee entrance, but I suppose it's up to you. I'll get and in see if I can give you a hand from the inside."

    He adjusts the collar on his suit. "Now if you'll excuse me..."

    As he approaches the entrance, Jin surveys the bouncer's brain. If this is like most popular clubs, there's a list of VIPs. The list is likely stored in the clubs local database server, which the bouncers can then access through their Gnosis chips. Cracking the server might be tricky, depending on how seriously this club takes its security; but Jin doesn't really need to do that.

    "Yo," he says to the bouncer. "Name's Jin Sakurai. I should be on the list."

    Of course, as soon as Jin got in his face the bouncer would have queried the database, which is precisely why Jin kept talking. With any luck, the bouncer will peg him as a typical regular who likes to hear himself talk, rather than an experienced hacker who just intercepted the database's response to add his name to the search results.

    Nothing like a good, old-fashioned man-in-the-middle attack.


    (Not sure how many blocks this would cost. Take them from my green bar as necessary, I suppose.)

    Maya Sapphire (Rogue +1) (Survivalist +1) (Icy Sapphire Spine -1) (500P) (Held: 0) [Group 2]

    "Very well," Maya says with a scowl. "Let the records show that I tried to be reasonable."

    She snaps her fingers, using Potential to envelope both her hands with makeshift shock-absorbing gloves.

    "If they all want in, I say we give them what they want." She opens the security doors, allowing the yetis to flood in. "Plus a little something extra."

    She hacks into her terminal and uses it to overload all the terminals in the engine room, giving as many yetis as she can a nasty shock.


    [Intent: Electrocute the yetis with overloading terminals in order to incapacitate/soften them up so the inevitable direct confrontation will be easier.
    Ruling Modifiers: Prioritize successful yeti-shock above all other outcomes. Play Pairs.]

    "Hmm," the combat mech agrees.

    With a wheeze, a compartment at Visigoth's waist opens, and the combat mech thrusts a fist inside, pulling out a handful of ratty, bundled up cloth. Shaking it out into a roughly square sheet and raising it up, the robot thrusts its head through a hole cut through the center, the synth fabric falling down over its shoulder and torso as a makeshift poncho, helpfully concealing its weaponry from any casual glances, if not a more careful inspection.

    Retrieving a piece of grayish plasticard from the same compartment that has had its previous advertisement laboriously buffed away and replaced with a meticulously handwritten "ANYTHING HELPS", Visigoth adds a credit account capable of accepting donations to his qlip profile, and begins slowly and unobtrusively making its way into the hallways of the building floor, attempting to circle around to locate the supposed employee entrance.

    Im confused. I thought the yetis were outside the ship, and that hacking open the engin room door would also open all the hull entrances.

    Well, I mean, we already fought a yeti that got inside.

    But maybe I'm mistaken?

    Even if I am, I'm pretty sure my intent covers it: shock all yetis.

    Yeah but, I don't think any are in the engine room, where all the terminals you're shorting out are.

    Basically: the yetis are gathering around the other security doors protecting the engine. Maya opens all the doors. The yetis flood in. Maya then overloads the terminals.

    the first one is really good

    for a ps1 game

    it hasn't aged particularly well

    that said, it's still a cool story, and the plot is crucial to understanding MGS2 and 4

    you can't play it on the xbox, but it's available on the PS3 as a digital download. you're right that the HD collection only includes 2, 3, and Peace Walker

    I think I actually have the first one, in a pile of ps1 games somewhere. And I still have and use my ps2.

    Although, I'm now remembering paring that pile down somewhat, during my recent move. I'm not sure if mgs1 is one of the ones that escaped the culling.

    I do also have a GameCube, so if a search of my games shows a lack of the ps1 metal gear 1, I may try to find that twin snakes version.

    Edit function is kind of butts on mobile, right now, which is why I'm posting so much on similar thoughts.
