She is going to be rather inistent about this, just as an FYI - especially now, since that comment wasn't really the sort of thing she responds to well.

I think I will head down to the waterfront, what would be the better method to travel by? Also what time is it?

The train probably would've pulled into Galesburg in the early hours of the morning, so it's only starting to get into the afternoon now. Groundcraft aren't air-based hoppers, but they're relatively efficient. The city is divided by Lake Peoria which connects to the Great Lakes to the north, and the Mississippi to the south. Cars, busses and trucks can easily cross the roads and highways in the city, and there's a subway system. Obviously, the airports and subway have more security than the bus network, which has more oversight than just getting a bicycle or walking around.

Does he see anyone in the club that stands out?  Are all 12 people sitting alone or is there one group with a head figure and other people there as protection/groupies/whatever?  Anyone that looks connected or shady or...anything?

Groups of 2-3 spread out over the bar/club. They look like blue collar workers, possibly a white-collar hard on his luck. Information about masked details like people who "seem shady" would be a perception roll.

If you're just wanting to stride in and chat up a couple, most of them are already talking and only the nearest group of 2 would've even noticed Baron's entry, but they've made no overt action.

Wth?  Invisiblecastle apparently hates me.  My rolls are reliably low.  Hopefully that will change soon...

Sorry for lack of activity. Grandparents coming to visit, so if the house doesn't look good, Bad Things happen.

Next bit of stuff Nitro's gonna be doing is going to take a few hours in game, so I'm just waiting to give people a chance to establish what they're gonna want to do in that time instead of just barreling forward without regard.

Nah, do whatever you want.  I'm assuming we're not working at the same pace.  This way, Mithlas can post as much as possible in each post instead of a week dedicated to one conversation and then another week for checking the safehouse.

I'm going to need a translation of that last post.  I don't know gang names or understand the references.

He named the three major gangs of the area, all information that a thorough data search might have brought up (two characters have done so before now, though there hasn't been a distribution of knowledge yet so your character may or may not know all of these).

The Pottsonians are the most major underworld group in the southwest (including the area where Baron currently is), and are suspected of involvement in talislegging and other stuff. The Red Glen are concentrated heavily in the north area of Peoria and are known to be involved in firearm and cyberware smuggling. Fondulak is active on the east side of the city and has a lot of legitimate fronts in the sports and outdoor enthusiast-areas. They also pushed the Ancients out of the city the previous year, and have an ongoing feud with the Sons of Sauron.

Event Horizon is the major police force in Arcadia and Lauterbach, basically the south-central region of the west side of the city. Their area covers a number of major highways through the city, including the main way in and out of the international airport in Bellevue in the southwest (Norwood is a "low interest" area for law enforcement. Think of it as a slightly less openly dangerous Barrens from Seattle). I'd post the notes I wrote for the city, but the .RTF document is too big for attachments.

The next thing I'm waiting on is the check of the safehouse (or for somebody else to go off and try to find a new sub-arc, I know that Aryeonos wanted to head to the shore, but hasn't responded since my last post response to Aaliyaha).

Okay, so to make sure I understand this correctly - the two have absolutely no current connections outside of to each other?  If so, that could be useful to us...

Nitro's also going to take the Detect Active/Passive Nodes action, which should yield list all such nodes within 400 meters.

Yes, Nitro's scan determined that they are connected to each other but do not have other wireless subscriptions.

There are a lot of wireless nodes within 400m, was Nitro searching to double-check the one(s) that Chikage already found or everything outside that? Or disregard and run her own?

Well, she ran her own scan for hidden nodes in addition to using Chikage's leads, and as far as the active/passive end of it goes, she's trying to get an figure out the Matrix landscape and looking for nodes from which someone might monitor them.
