OOC Ya I can't spell very good and spell check only catches 90 % of my mistakes. Watch for my binding using incest stick instead of incense sticks got a good laugh out of the other runners on that one.

You spot a variety of melee weapons badly concealed on the gangers as they pass your truck. Baseball bats, big knives, the full works.
As you ask your question Dunk looks at you quizzically;
Not a fucking clue mate. Why? what you planning?

Your ankle aint too happy with bearing your load as you swing your leg over the aging brickwork.
The gable end crumbles under your wieght, sending bits of broken mortar cascading down the side of the building.
Clicking the gecko into descent mode, you slide slowly down the outside of the building, trying your best to keep the squealing of the gloves to a minimum as the bricks slid past
weirdly enough there appears to be no test for assisted climbing down, just rappelling!
we'll just treat gecko kit as being intelligent enough to have a "down" setting similar to rapelling.
You land the descent gracefully, waiting for a healthy gap in the light foot traffic utilising the pavement sidewalk for you yanks :-).

Knives limps on over towards Dunk's junker, <Alright mates I'm streetside, heading your way.  Mantis can ya open the door and let me crawl in the back?  I need to see after this ankle on our way back.>

*Wow that was a quick response from the locals.  Not five minutes went by before a truck full of uglies were on us.  This run better go off smooth or we're all fuckin dead.*

Mantis repeats how to say the French words a few times and saves the link and makes sure he can hear how to say the words a few more times. Well with me coming up with plans the sometimes turn south quick lets see what Dunk has to say. With the phrase fresh in his mind he tells Dunk his plan. Well the spirit is out of the bag in this part of Paris, why not take the focus out of this one area. My plan was to have the Spirit appear say the phrase "libérer les pauvres" above this part of Paris. Then use all his serves up by getting him to repeat that phrase "libérer les pauvres" 3 times as he moves through all of Paris say every 5 blocks. This will spot light a spirit across Paris and not just this one area. Well what do you think? Each time Mantis says the words he does his best to get the French accent just right so the Spirit can pull off this job. Mantis keeps repeating the phrase mentally doing his best to accent each work correctly.

Just let me know when you are at the back of the car. When Knives tells Mantis he is at the car Mantis will open the back of the car from him.

[Csjarrat]

Sounds a wee bit bonkers te me, see what knives has te say aboot it
After a few seconds, hear hear a gentle tapping at the window.
Dunk hits the central locking and the door opens and closes again. Much grunting and groaning ensues, the car rocking slightly as the invisible Knives shifts his weight around on the back seat, trying to get his busted ankle into a more comfortable position.
I cannae get used te working wi you two, invisible people and shiny spirits are just too fucken weird haha
Dunk's shoulders bob in a rythm with his laughter, genuinely amused at the bizarre situation he'd gotten into recently.
Aye, if ye dunnae laugh aboot it, ye'll cry reyt?
So, lads, where to now?

When Knives gets into the car Mantis decides to take Dunks advice and asks for Knives feed back. So I was thinking the spirit drew some heat on this part of Paris. I had a plan to spread the heat out around the whole of Paris by getting the spirit to manifest say. "libérer les pauvres". Which means liberate the poor. Then have the spirit go all around Paris saying this. Maybe it will draw a spot light off the spirit being hear and make it more of a City wide spot light. So what do you think? Mantis sits back and waits to hear if Knives has any input.

[Lumen]

"Yea Dunk still used to this bein' invisible stuff myself, sure comes in handy though.  Mantis that sounds like a good plan to play off that whole spirit mess.  I hope it at least got the info we need.  Ya fancy gettin rid of this mojo now?"

Knives sits back and elevates busted ankle then pulls out his medkit to try to keep it from swelling too much.

Only at 2P so thankfully no penalties yet.
Medkit 6 + Logic 2 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=1
  

While I'm at it might as well see how much stun I take from the Attribute Boosts wearing off.
Resisting 3S for Attribute Boost (Strength) then Resisting 1S for Attribute Boost (Agility)
Willpower 5 + Body 5 = 10d6
10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4

So that should put Knives at 2P and 1S and we just got started on the legwork


"Shit, this ain't stoppin the swelling...  I don't suppose you saw any street docs on the way here.  Let's just get out of here for now.  Until we get our thermo we're just begging to be caught if we stick around this ghetto."  Knives lights up a smoke, "Think ya can find us a bar that speaks the fuckin King's English?"

[Csjarrat]

Heh, there's bound te be an irish bar somewhere. There's a fuckin irish bars in every big city of the world. Like a bloody plague. Serve good Guinness though!

[Lumen]

"Long as it's not here and I can get a pint it'll work.  Hell might even catch part of the game...  Unless you lads have some bright ideas I think we're stuck until after our shopping. "

[Csjarrat]

Well there's no gridguide on this old junker. You lads able to get us directions on your Link?

Mantis drops his Invisibility spell that was on Knives and his fellow runner shimmers into view of the two. Ok might as well give the spirit his job. Mantis know the man spirit wont do much more for hims so he give the spirit the job. Two things little helper. First astrally fly over to the other side of the urban area I showed you mentally. Materialize and thermal scan the area showing me mentally the building in this area with the highest heat sig. Second well doing this Scream "libérer les pauvres" how ever many times it takes you to find the highest heat sig. When done screaming it above this area start inwardly spiraling around Paris saying the same thing "libérer les pauvres" the same amount of times until you spiral into the center of Paris. Only move 10 blocks until you scream "libérer les pauvres". When you finish at the center of Paris your job is done. Mantis recaps for the Spirit. One scan for the Highest heat signature in this area. Two on a spiral into the center of Paris Scream "libérer les pauvres" every ten blocks until you get to the Center of Paris. Ok that is it little buddy, Thanks for your help. Mantis stretches his back and notices the dank smell of the car again. Ok Guys the little spirit is on mission best we cut out of this area of Paris. I think this little guy is going to be on the news now.

Mantis pulls up a map of France on his comm link, and gives his Agent a command. Slicer MD could you browse the map soft for bars in Paris and take verbal commands from Dunk. With that the Agent starts its work on the map soft Mantis had bought when he thought it was going to be easy to find his missing wife with a few maps and a picture of her to search for, no such luck.

___Mantis___
I will do my best to honour your wishes, though it is entirely beyond me what you wish to achieve by such bizarre tasks....
The spirit shoots into the air, causing the passers by to scream and run for cover.
