I'll be calmly crawling my tiny little bug spies out of Alec's safehouse and onto my Dragonfly.
Then Dragonfly will be coming back through one of my ammo ports.

Don't plan on opening any doors unless it's one of the team now.
I'll hide in the back of my van and drink some tasty, tasty Vodka.

I might keep tabs on Twitch and have little chat with him when we're alone.

I could Powerball the lot of them... :dohtwo:





probably not the best idea though. I'll assense the gang.

Assensing (4) + Intuition (4): 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5, 4, 3: 2 hits.

I'll wait until they're gone then walk away from Nik's van back the way I came.

Anything you can my man.

Depending on which door they knocked on - maybe.
If they knocked on the back door like I assumed then my ferret would've caught a group shot on its visual sensor.
If they knocked on my cab door then no, but I have a <i>photographic memory</i> and should be able to describe them all in intricate detail.

The van will have sensors of its own. Most vehicles do, so they can use GridGuide and drive themselves places without crashing/running down grannies.

You can run Twitch through the matrix search if you like, but without a real name/SIN number its unlikely to get you much unless he is

A: Famous
B: Got a significant criminal record (in which case you might get him off a mugshot)

On an unrelated note: TSD, make a matrix perception roll please!

Whilst all this action is going on, N-Zo notices that Firebird has dumped a file into a rather random public node. Either the file has encryption you have never seen before, or its a junk file, just gibberish data. He then leaves the safehouse.

For a guy thats spent the last few days with a routine like clockwork, this is new, and therefore totally out of character.

Alec, by the way, has headed back to the safehouse. Cant remember if ive said that already.

Oh, and its day 3. I think.

Computer 4, Edit 6, CB 2 = 12 dice

5,6,4,4,5,3,4,4,5,5,5,5=7 hits

I was not there, I did not look at or copy the file, I wasn't even jacked in at the time...

I'll assume N-zo has alerted us all to this rather strange occurrence.

Hopefully no-one is listening, and if they are all the stuff Frank got hooked up with by N-zo hopefully means they just see gibberish.

Leland will exit astral space and stop the astral recon for a bit.
Ahhh, I need a drink.
Leland takes a few sips from his flask.
Hey Chopper, you still at that bar?
