"I've checked the whole place, another Shinto Shaman has set it up, the only way in is physically."

[Crossbow]

"Well then we definitely need to at least try and get into the system then, it will be much more to talk our way out if things go wrong."

[Lumen]

Kuren hops a few trains to make it to the funeral house, sending a message to the group. <Nice work J-san.  Have we decided to continue in a professional manner?  I will have no part in meaninglessness brawls but if all agree to be civil I'll see what I can find as soon as I'm in signal range.>


Hacking on the fly going for Security access.
Hacking 3 + Exploit 5 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=3
8d6.hits(5)=3
8d6.hits(5)=3
Lol at least it's consistent.

@Kuren

Within moments, the firewall crumbles and you are into the funeral home's system, with admin privileges. It is quite evident that the physical security is mediocre at best.

Matrix Perception:
Computer 3 + Analyze 5 = 8d6.
8d6.hits(5)=2
First checking the alert status of node then checking for any active IC or agents.

Scan for hidden nodes.
Electronic Warfare 3 + Scan 5 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=3

@Kuren

You look into the node's mechanics, but see nothing unusual, including no alerts. It seems you got in without being detected. There doesn't seem to be anything hidden as far as you can tell.

Kuren sends a message to the team, <I am in the system.  There is next to nothing in terms of security.   I will keep looking for any more information.   Who is going in?>

Inside the system Kuren monitors the camera feed and starts digging through the records looking for either name the victim was known by.

[Muscular_Bevar]

"Well i've got a spook on the line ready to play 20 questions..."

[Crossbow]

<Can you unlock the doors and clear us from the cameras?   Is there a hearse or some other transport vehicle inside?>  Looking at the others in the meat world Smiley points to Mia and Pipebomb, "You guys have out here and make some noise if you see something.  J, Yaibei, let's go grave-robbing."

Smiley casually makes his way to the back of the building.

[Lumen]

<The camera will not be a problem.   I will look into the locks but why the concern with a vehicle?   Please tell me you all are not planning on stealing the corpse.  The shame brought upon us all would be unbearable.>

Despite a great deal of worry Kuren checks the system for locks and any signs of a vehicle.

[Chrona]

Mia and I would need to move it outside the ward to summon the deceased, or the nearest thing. Can you set the matrix side up so we're okay if you come inside kuren-san, you could at least take a look at it forensic wise.

[Lumen]

<I see.  The matrix side should be fine but I'm still searching for any information.  Though I did uncover that this facility is owned by a subsidiary of Renraku, perhaps they are sinisterly involved.  I am only a few blocks away, when I get there we should be cleared to go inside.  I would very much like to investigate the body before anyone moves it.>

[Chrona]

"Lets wait for Kuren-san, then he can take his samples before we see how easily a summoning will be, the home seems astrally well maintained, so as long as a spirit doesn't actually TOUCH the ward, I should be able to summon from inside. So long as it isn't layered."

J was finally feeling in his element with magical security, he really missed those fiber cables though.

[Necrogigas]

Fischer gave Smiley a short reply, "Very well." Fischer returned to his vehicle and retrieved the molotovs and the grenades. He returned to the team's hiding spot and asked Mia, "I got explosives, incendiaries, and a handgun. What are you bringing to the mix?"

[Crossbow]

"So it is said Kuren, I mean to complete our mission, which was to bring evidence to the Johnson that Ms Kobayashi didn't die of natural causes.  I think the greater shame, if that isn't the case, would be to leave her remains in the hands of those who would not see her death avenged, if there was another choice."  Smiley responds to the rebuke tactfully, not letting Kuren's outburst affect him.
