| Sorry... Had to throw up and accidentally pushed buttons...
Will this go away?
What can I do against this?
-tomato
| Where did you dive?
| Uhm... I dived into a delivery drone and zipped around my neighborhood. Flying feels amazing.
I would try out my car and have a spin around the freeway but i feel terrible right now.
Please tell me I just need to get used to it
-tomato
| From what my friends say, its a mix of experience and genetics.
| I feel better already.
It seems like it doesn't last for long?
I guess I need to hop back in soon and find out if its always this short.
I'm kinda scared though...
Excited and scared...
-tomato
| >>236687 genetics sounds bad.
I mean, I can't really do anything about that, right?
Experience does sound comforting though.
Alright, I'm jumping back in.
Wish me luck
-tomato
| Be careful of PTSD from forceful ejection.
| eboy
| Oh, hey, I can write here while in dive?
Neat. I guess this car does have an OS and can route through accesspoints, even if it doesn't have one itself... So accessig the web through here works. Good to know.
is fun. I stopped and parked in an alley because I just had a run-in with the cops... Well, almost. I... Sorta saw them around the corner before they could spot me. This feels weird. I can see in all directions basically and adter seeing the cops my mind is racing...
| Its so weird to have all this information right in front of me.
Its almost painful, but not really.
Am I weird?
Is this weird?
-tomato
| Yes, and why are the cops after you?
| They weren't, i just kinda panicked and ran away... Or drove off I guess?
I guess I am sort of a car right now?
This is so weird but so awsome
-tomato
| I guess rigging isn't illegal so I didn't need to run away.
I don't know why I ran.
Probably should get my cool back and continue.
Rigging is so cool man wow
-tomato
| But, like, hasn't everybody gotten nervous by cops just for them being there near by, even if you did nothing wrong?
I guess avoiding the police isn't the worst thing I could do...
Oh, sorry, this thread has somehow become like a diary. I will stop now and wait for replies. Sorry for spamming
-tomato
| Nah, this is cool. I also get the sweats around most cops.
-Jhensen
| Good to know.
Comes with the territory I guess.
I noticed I can take corners way sharper like this.
I wonder if I can outrun the cops if I had to...
In any case, I rather not try it
-tomato
| I don't like full-diving often. As a matter of fact, I haven't done it in months, not since my law days. Since I'm a Lilim, I have to fight the code to prevent it from fucking up my own operating systems. Merging with other computer systems can leave residual code in my own system, and that leads to nightmares of me as a crashing jetliner and an OS-wipe that feels like what you organics call puking your guts out.
Sometimes it's fun though, I won't lie. And useful for gaining info.
| -Fuschia Fedora.
| What do you used to jump into?
-tomato
| >>236793 Well, for the White Knights, I often jumped into street cameras, or spy drones, or occasionally cell phones or datajacks. Two times I jumped into somebody else's power armor, let me tell ya, that was fucking weird. However, datajacks are definitely the hardest to jump into, and not something I want to do unless I have to. Its like...multi-layered, like you're decking while you're jacking. A human colleague of mine used to say its like being on every psychadelic at once.
| However, during training I had to jump into a jetliner, which gave me horrendous nightmares, as well as an armored car. And...one time, to prank somebody, I jumped into my ex boyfriend's full-body VR rig while he was watching interactive porn.
That.
Was.
Hilarious.
Guy was a dick, he deserved it.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| I didn't know you could rig so many things... But anything that has sensors and controls is a go, huh?
This shit is fascinating.
Well, I guess I have the advantage of being a fleshbag lol
Sorry for your bad experiences though, that sounds really tough.
-tomato
| >>236819 Correction: Anything that has onboard CPUs that have the ability to be ran by either an AI, a VI, or manually controlled through input modules such as keyboard and mouse, touch screen or onboard interfaces, can be full-dived into. However, that doesn't mean everything is practical, many things are too complex or difficult to full-dive into just because of scaling issues. The jetliner was about the most my sanity could takw, thing was huge, had too many controls to manage.
| Thanks for your sentiment though. I couldn't imagine what it feels like for you organics either, I'm sure it isn't always a cake walk.
-Fuschia Fedora
| I must have done something wrong last time because this time jumping out feels way less bad.
I mean, i still feel dizzy and like I spun around for an hour but not like I will dhehez
| My bad.
I threw up again and dropped my comlink.
Urgh.
I really hope this will stop jn the future...
But yeah, sice this is my second time rigging anything I can't really tell you much except that I'm having a blast
-tomato

D-did you jack out of the port right away wherever you were in the Matrix or did you actually go back to where your started logged in and jacked out then? Doing the former means your get some nasty dumpshock. -CN
| Uhm... Maybe? I mean I can rig my car directly from inside the vehicle, the drone I kinda have to jump to the droneport first, then the drone itself. Is that what I did wrong? I ejected after landing and docking to the droneport again.
-tomato
| I think CN is talking about where you start your dive in cyberspace. iirc you want to return to that virtual location to jack out instead of just jacking out anywhere. Sorry I don't have better advice; I haven't actually tried it myself so I only know some of the theory behind it.
-Fiz
| >>236913 >>237122
Yea basically that. If you try to jack to far away from your starting point you basically get the equivalence of virtual whiplash. It's the best equivalent I can come up with. -CN
| Jeez, I didn't know that.
Newbie trappings I guess.
Shit if it gets worse the further you are away, I dont know what happens when I jump out after jumping through more nodes.
That was like, what, through the console, to the droneport, to the drone... 3 hops.
If 3 hops do that to me, I don't wanna see what more do to me.
With my car is was just 1 hop, so it makes sense that the whiplash wasn't as brutal.
Argh hopping back is so cumbersome!
-tomato
| Just be careful not to go into shock by disconnecting too quickly and too far away.
Otherwise you're doing good.
-Kou
| Well I don't wanna throw up everytime I jack out so I will take more care now. Thanks.
Alright, now to getting guns and pimping drones!
I guess guns is kinda easy, there is a gunvendig machine down the street. Do you know if these are tracked or something? They would make life easier.
-tomato
|
| >>237409
They definitely are.
Find yourself a gunrunner or bust the trackers from inside those guns.
-Kou
| >>237409
Forgive me if i sound rude but
Im not even a runner and even i know better then to buy guns from a random vending machine.
>N3verW3re
| >>237414
Listen to kou and find a proper gunrunner.
Even if you did the latter and busted the chips i dont think the guns are of good quality
>N3
| >>237424
I still need to come and see your merchandise, I heard some pretty good stuff from an accquaintance of mine.
-Kou
| >>237429
Sure thing, we got some new art recently. Go to the Tailor nearby too, they cater to all styles.
-Cain
| Is this like tje first challenge? Finding the place?
Is this a video game or something?
-tomato
| Not exactly hidden knowledge.
In fact, it's on GCmaps now.
| Oh.
Okay.
See you there then.
I'll be there in like 20 minutes
-tomato
| Hmm, I might swing by to pick up something fun.
-Fiz
| I think its save to say that cain got some good shit.
Now that I'm outfitted, any advice on where to find people to run with?
Not gonna ask for any names or contacts, but you gotta get work and a team from somewhere

| Oh my god I got out of the vat yesterday and tried full diving for the first time.
It felt amazing but after jumpin out i feel like i just got oot of a centrifuge sz5444
