Icer hears the command from his new team mates then starts to feel the dread set in. If these guys are going to geek me this would be the time when I'm out of my body. This could get me into a cold grave very quickly best think quickly. Icer gets off his bike and sits down as if he is checking his tire so on lookers wouldn't notice that he was out of body. Not sure if he can trust these two new guys Icer was reluctant to leave his body or tell them when he has left. After a quick second of thought he decides to let the team know he is going out of body.


<<TO: Team>>

Ok I'll take a look around make sure my meat shell is not damaged

<<End Message>>


Not wanting to get blind sided Icer decides to get a watcher to keep tabs on his meat shell before he leaves to give him a chance not to get geeked by these two almost complete strangers.

Icer extends mana out of his solar plex and forms his watcher into life. Once out of his body Icer gives the little helper his job to watcher Watcher let me know telepathically if anyone approaches my body or if anyone attacks my body.

With a little bit of releif that he will not have his meat shell open to attacks Icer leaves his body and starts checking around the outside of the building the snatch will take place at looking to see what his astral eyes can see. When the outside once over is done he will see if he can find anything inside the building. Taking it very slowly knowing that there should be a ward somewhere the team has to pass through. Icer wants to see if he can find the location of the ward to let the team know where it is. If Icer spots the ward he will not pass through it encase it is alarmed.

Lynx sits in the truck and keeps his eyes peeled for anyone approaching his companions or paying too much attention to them.  His fingers drum across the steering wheel as he patiently waits.

As you review the campus and mass of auras around you notice nothing unusual, that is until you approach the professors building. The building is covered in awakened Ivy not enough to seal it off but certainly to protect the key areas. the main doorways are not protected by a ward.

@Lumen
Looking over the campus you notice nothing unual and no one is showing you any particular attention.

Icer decides to take a look inside. Not really wanting to be away from his shell for too long since it would be easy for someone to put a bullet in his head if he is not careful, and as it stands right now Icer doesn't know how much he can trust his new teammates. Icer really wants to find out what wards there are in place in the building. Flea said there was one Ward to pass through lets see if I can find it. Icer does his best to go into the building and find this one ward Flea told the group about. Icer makes sure to take his time not to set off any alarm wards on his way.

As you enter the building in all you astral glory you see the front desk and reception of the building maned by someone.
exploring the building you quickly find the ward protects the stairs and elevators above the 1st floor.

The results of the port scanner popped up in a glowing blue terminal window to the right of Flea's avatar. Within a fraction of a second she'd loaded herhacking suite and set to work punching a hole in it's defenses.
With any luck she'd stay under the radar and not raise any alarms...

You punch through the security layer of the university's node without breaking a sweat...
The main host has no sculpting whatsoever and neither does the security back door. you are just greeted with stock dull icons with text describing their function status etc...

However as you explore the individual building nodes within the nexus the departments nodes are sculpted into beautiful environments for with ARO and user unctions all over the place a  mecca for the student body to work and develop.

The specific node for the professors department has been sculpted to look like an old Greek palace or temple and the interior looks like a grand library full of books, scrolls and ancient artifacts

Once Icer located the Ward that Flea was talking about he darts out of the building the way he came in. Icers body jerks as his astral body locks back into his shell. With his body whole again Icer stands up and lights a smoke. I say the first smoke after an out of body experience is one of the best things life has to offer. With stick of death in hand he walks over to his ?teammates? ride and lets the two know where the ward was and about the Ivy that is such a drag on astral recon. So guys looks like we do have a ward it is located above the first floor protecting both the stairs and the Elevators. Also the building is laced with Ivy, a plant that stops me from strolling in astrally and getting a good view of the building. Oh ya at the front entrance there is a person manning a desk. Icer stretches his back still shaking off the strain on his body caused by missing it's astral double.

Flea took a look around the Professor's node, making mental notes of its layout and content in a translucent terminal window.
For now though she needed to focus on the task in hand; locating the security devices.
She fired up her scanning suite and ran a trawl of all the connected devices, filtering through the extensive list for the security related ones.

As your search program runs it's own unique magic over the university's node.

You easily find the location of the security cameras on each floor and details of the mag-locks protecting the secure labs.

//I'm in, got a log-in for later on. How we looking icer?//

[Lumen]

<All is clear here in the real world.  Any luck setting me up with a visitor's pass for later? >  Lynx is starting to get a little antsy.   After all the morning's excitement waiting in a parking lot was beginning to wear on him.

[Csjarrat]

//good thinking, might be able to book you in for an appointment, should get you past the receptionist//

[Scawire]

Icer stands back and smokes to his heart content well the two in charge decide what path to take. Icer knows he will most likely have to summon a new spirit since once the sun goes down his spirit he has on stand by with the vehicle masking spell will return to his home plane.

Flea pondered on the best way to get Lynx through the doors:
an appointment would elicit checks and curiosity from the receptionist.
Marking the SiN as staff would be the better option in theory, but if she fucked it up, it would land him in a whole boatload of trouble.
She hopped back through the nodes to the entrance gateway and ran her analyse suite over the Receptionist's Icon, trying to figure out the University's staff identification protocols.
Doing her best to replicate them, she rebuilt it as faithfully as she could for Lynx
