Fischer was the last to arrive by a wide margin. He parked six blocks away and cut through alleyways until finding the rest of the group. He scoped out the area while the others did their parts. He kept an eye out for easy access points, and security cameras.

@AkiMizuki Kobayashi, possible alias of Fumiko Kawaguchi, anything you find, holla back.

Mia heads for the front door, keeping an eye open for anything out of the ordinary 6d6.hits(5)=1 and hoping that there is someone on the door.

Returning to his body momentarily, "The apartment is empty, I'll start taking a look around." And with that he began searching the apartment as best he could while materialized.

Diminishing perception check for the search (7d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 5d6.hits(5)=2, 4d6.hits(5)=1) glitch on the 4d6 but it is an extended test so i might be safe by then

@Pipebomb

You look around, but besides the odd security cameras, you spot nothing strange.

@Smiley

"Alright, will do."

@Mia

You walk up to the entrance of the building, the neon light above the alcove attracting a few bugs. The lobby, old but relatively well-kept, tells you there are 60 apartments. No one is present, and as you turn around you find yourself staring at a security camera giving on the entrance, exactly where you're standing.

@J

You take a quick look around the apartment, and see that it has 3 main rooms. Looking some more, you see that the rooms consist of a bathroom, a living room/kitchen and a bedroom. The apartment is relatively clean, but also very zen in that it doesn't have a lot of furniture. In the kitchen you do notice some dishes in the sink, which tells you someone ate here not that long ago. As you're looking around, a loud *thud* coming most probably from one of the neighbours startles you, but you keep looking. You find nothing else of interest, but you do notice a few drawers/closets/etc. that could benefit from a thorough search.

[Chrona]

After another quick astral trip to check on the noise (Tell me if you want a roll), I materialize next to Smiley hiding in a shadow. "Nothing stands out except unwashed, but not old dishes, looks like its been lived in recently. There's drawers and closets someone solid would need to go through."

And with that he starts working to remove his astral signature from the area.

"Balls!" Mia lowers her head and mutters under her breath, then quickly refocusing, snaps her attention straight down the barrel of the camera "You guys got a space to rent? Hellooo? Ah, screw this shit!! I'll find another space" and with a shrug of her shoulders, turns on her heel and wanders back towards her bike.

"Well shit!! That won't fly. I'ma gonna boot around to the closest pub and make sure I'm seen, be back in an hour unless something serious happens. I'll leave a watcher just in case."

Mia does as she says, heading for the nearest pub and making a scene and once enough time has passed (or there is an emergency) she will cast makeover and fashion (force 5) to change her look and clothing drastically and slip out a bathroom window and meet up, where ever they get too.

Dropping Scan rating 5 and starting up Stealth rating 3.
Hacking on the Fly: Going for admin account (Firewall + 6) threshold, Complex Action.  With cold sim I have 2 IPs.
Using Edge of the first roll and hoping for the best.
Hacking 3 + Exploit 5 + Edge 3 = 11d6
11d6.hitsopen(5,6)=4
That sucked, next pass:
8d6.hits(5)=0

2nd Combat Turn:
8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=4

After two full turns I can get in assuming it's Firewall 5 or less.  So that's four test to find me versus Stealth Rating 3.  Plus I'll throw in a Matrix Perception for good measure:
Computer 3 + Analyze 5 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=3

Fischer didn't notice any unusual security, but that didn't mean much. He assessed where any hidden security measures where likely to be.

@Kuren

After trying to get the firewall open, you finally get into the node and have a look around (OOC: What are you looking for?)

@Pipebomb

Looking at the building more specifically, you know that by design the building's security is very low. Most probably a few cameras at the entrances/exits, but most definitely no security guards. Oftentimes the only "security" is the landlord living on the premises with his finger on the phone dial.

[Lumen]

HyrdroRaven I'm gonna try to get into building security and see what if any kind of devices may be guarding the apartment,  maglocks, cameras, etc.  Also I'd like to check the CHN to see if there's any info or unusual devices slaved to it.

Basically I'm looking for anything that's stopping us from walking into the apartment or anything that looks out of place matrixwise

@Kuren

The inside of the security node is surprisingly simple. You look around, but quickly determine that the node holds nothing special or out-of-place. You also take that opportunity to determine if there are any physical security measures that would prevent you from reaching the apartment. As far as this node goes, besides the cameras overlooking the entrance and the garbage disposal unit, there are no barriers slaved to the building's security node.

[Necrogigas]

After reassuring himself that the apartment building was no more than it seemed, Fischer scanned the neighborhood, searching for good spots to use for observation of the apartment in question.

@Pipebomb

You have a look around the neighbourhood, trying to find a spot with a good view of the building. You conclude that 2 spots would fulfill your needs: the other building from across the street and a small park 200m away, but you'd need some sort of vision magnification to see things properly if you were to stay in the park.

[Necrogigas]

Fischer spoke for the first time since arriving, "J, scout out the building directly across the street from the apartment. The people that killed this woman may have had her place under surveillance. It's a long shot, but they might not have cleaned out their roost yet." Once Kuren returned to the meat world, "Kuren, check out the records of that building, see if anything suspicious pops up."
