>>5819121>Cyberninja hacking, stealing etcSo the cyberninja can do a bit of hacking, but the asset for this is the vuln database / zeroday exploit etc (think of it like that Nuke Virus from Deus Ex Human Revolution that autohacks the nodes in the computer network minigame). I think because you are linked to the science Expeditionary Research Vessel, you can access some of its hypercomputing power, I will let you give it a try with very low probability...
QM: Because it contains a repository of resource rich and potentially habitable systems, this incredibly valuable star system data effectively counts as TWO Assets:
DENIABLE ASSET
15 Safehouse Hideout (effectively, a safe planet that is not present on any other records elsewhere, or known to any authorities)
AND...
MIGHT ASSET
18 Supply Cache / Hardened Fallback (ie, a planet with abundant wealth of resources for resupply / recovery, unknown to anyone else)
>roll 1d100, attempt dangerous hacking procedure with cyberninja...
00-09 You leave no trace at all as you effortlessly download an exact copy of the highly lucrative and valuable stellar systems data
10-19 You manage to copy most of it, but the data seems corrupted. If anyone checks the integrity of the original database, they will know you accessed it
20-49 You tentatively probe the encryption protocols. Nope. Best leave
50-95 You got it... just a simple matter of buffer overflow and breaking the address space layout randomisation through carefully timed observation of side channel attacks! You are a hacking cybergenius! You stand up in exhilaration and triumphantly declare I AM INVINCIBLE!!! and... nope. Software intrusion detection subroutines alert every security and enforcement agent in your vicinity as to your exact current location
96-99 It is actually even worse. The intrusion detection subroutines wirelessly melt your brain
(QM: asset eliminated)
>Do not attempt to hack the star data; it is far too dangerous. Try and shadow the researcher girl and see where she leads... (attempt to steal the data)>It is not worth it. Ignore all this and do something elseQM: you can also attempt some of the choices continued from here
