Overview
You hear a click over the line, then some horrible dial-up internet noises. A computerised male voice hisses into your ear "Dial-Up. What can I do for you today?"
An escaped Renraku AI, Dial-Up was released during the crash and floated around the 'trix before noticing the profitable and entertaining world of shadowrunning. He soon became a well-connected and well-informed Fixer.
Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Matrix-Bound | Dial-Up is a sentient AI, and as such cannot provide physical active checks or legwork. |
| Just a game to me | What would I do with Nuyen? Nothing. I'm in it for the fun. If Dial-Up thinks the run would be particularly interesting (High, Semi-Prime and Prime Runs, along with any Renraku run,) he will demand to be given full footage of the run afterwards. |
| Like a fish to water | Like many AI, Dial-Up is startlingly good at manipulating the matrix. +2 on Matrix active checks |
| Data Miner | Everyone leaves tracks, some fainter than others. +2 on checks to find people or files on the matrix |
| Computer Jackson | Due to his constant presence on the 'trix, Dial has made many friends, few of which know his real nature. +2 on networking with and +2 on knowledge checks about Hackers |
| Hard Drive Dealer | While his days of being bound to a physical server are long gone, Dial still knows where to find the good stuff. +2 on gear checks for electronics. |
| Briefing | Failure is suboptimal. Thus, Dial-Up will have a standard matrix search of the Johnson or another job-relevant topic which he will tell the Runner upfront. |
| Former Renraku property | Before you ask, no, he didn't know Deus. But after he wriggled free in the second crash, he managed to keep some Renraku files. +2 on knowledge (Renraku) |
| Logistics | His programmed purpose was to do stock predictions and asset estimation. +2 on checks regarding the stock market or finance |
