Sidi`s voice crackled in over the radio, " I dont think the weather is what took down those fliers, they weren`t trying fly under radar range, I hope. We are just a couple kilometers south of the search point take us north and begin a search spiral."

the weather computer displayed a weather sattellite image of  the overhead storm, long streaking clouds rushed up the coast line, with wind chill it could get to 60c bellow zero out here. The coastline was just two inky black smears next to eachother right now, the coastal rocks didn`t collect snow very well, but what stood of vegetation was smattered in thick icey snow.

Nico watched the sensor input, hoping to avoid another close call..."

[All4BigGuns]

At Sidi's words, Viktor adjusts the plane's heading to accommodate the new orders.

[Aryeonos]

The coastline flies under the craft in a blur, what was barely clear before is now nothing but a smudge. The ballistic computers which ordinarily can display a wireframe map of their field of fire now idly flash a "No target data" message perpetually.

Begin 6, 10 minute interval search tests

[Aryeonos]

A dreery hour of  circling the shore line goes by. The crews various monitors fill with the broad range of multispectral imaging and ultrasonic terrain maps,  and yet the hulk of a cargo plane is seemingly absent from the comprehensive search. Extending in a disk 2 kilometers out from the estimated crash point the search finishes. Spectral information would seem to indicate very fine and very small concentrations of chemical residue stretching from the south east up to the north of the search zone in its highest concentrations, but the chemical traces of jet fuel or burnt insulations are supprisingly absent.

Not currently having chummer around I used random.org
Rolling Chemistry to identify the chemical residue:
You rolled 4 dice:

   6 6 3 3

Also my question about teamwork on the search tests remained unanserwered, so I'll just throw some:
so I'm assisting with 12 dice 6 times (6 from plane sensors? 4 from skill and 2 from attention coprocessor)
#1: 2 6 1 3 5 6 1 5 3 2 3 4 ==> 4 hits
#2: 6 2 4 6 5 1 6 2 6 2 1 4 ==> 5 hits
#3: 5 4 2 3 4 1 4 6 2 1 3 6 ==> 3 hits
#4: 5 3 6 6 1 5 5 6 3 3 5 4 ==> 7 hits
#5: 3 6 5 5 3 2 4 4 3 3 6 1 ==> 4 hits
#6: 3 3 3 6 3 2 5 2 2 5 5 1 ==> 4 hits
would be 27 hits total if I am not allowed to assist and instead search myself


Butcher made himself busy at the virtual interfaces.

[Sichr]

As soon as planes began to circle above the target area, Nina Acessed the sensor feed via the TacNet and began to look for any traces of recent crash:
Intuition(4)+Perception(4)+AttCoprocesor(3)+Sensors(6)+Tacnet(4)

[HydroRaven]

Fisher decided that since he was comfortably strapped in, now would be a good time to look astrally for any clues as to where the crash site might be. He slips out of his body and into the spiritual plane, looking around.

As expected, nothing.

After looking and seeing nothing of interest, Fisher comes back to the meat world and takes a look at the latest developments on the various UB forums he's subscribed to. "I'll leave you to your sensors. Let me know if you need me." They were only a few hours away from the start of the big game so he needed to know what the latest news and gossip were.

[Aryeonos]

Fisher's window opens then abruptly closes itself, a red bubble with white text reads "Communications Blocked" circling the bubble read the text "Radio Silence" repeated around the window.

Analyzing the trace chemicals from the hyperspectral cameras, you find trace elements of aluminium oxides, titanium residue, and synthetic paraffinic kerosene residue. These particles extend in a south north pattern out of the search radi.

[Thrass]

Butcher sketched the pattern onto the tacnet map for everyone to see.
Looks like some craft passed the area, if we don't find it here, maybe they moved it and we can follow that chem trail.

[HydroRaven]

Fisher's Matrix connection closes as soon as he tries to open it. "Blerrie hell" he thinks to himself.

"It's worth looking into" answers Fisher to Butcher. He then tries to take a look at what Butcher's seeing.

[Nathen]

Nico contacts Viktor, "you see that chem trail? think its worth checking out?"

[All4BigGuns]

On receiving the message from the other pilot, Viktor responds, "It could bear investigation, however, as my aircraft has the team aboard, I think it best that I continue to the LZ. Since you carry primarily the drones as cargo, your plane would be the better choice to check it out."

[Nathen]

Wonderful excuse, ugh "Alright ill check it out..." Nico breaks off to follow the trail.

[Aryeonos]

The stealth craft banks off into the strong back winds, sailing and tumbling on the strong gusts like a kite, or at least it feels that way from the inside.

Sidi barks over the coms system "You forget victor, his craft does not have the sensor suite this one does and our search in this area has turned up empty, follow him and we will put our specialists to work."

You may all make sensor assisted perception checks, with the tac net bonus +3 if memory serves, since you are all searching together. You can make more chemistry tests to analyze the possible origin of these foreign chemicals.
