Mirriam is running Virtual Machine, Encryption, Signal Scrub, Sneak, and is swapping between Stealth and Exploit, the latter just before she tries to place a MARK.

Hitching along for a quick view through Jeff's Goggles, she locates the car that the target is in, then tries to find the Icon of the Vehicle of the device that the Vehicle is slaved to.  Assuming that it's running hidden, she attempts a few Matrix Perception Actions over the course of 3 seconds:

2 Hits
7 Hits ?!!
3 Hits

If I have any extra net hits, I want to know the device rating of the Vehicle or the device I find that it is slaved to, and if it's a commlink, cyberdeck, or RCC.

Then, I want to Sleaze a Mark onto the device, UNLESS, it has a device rating 6 or higher, then she'll rethink it.

But before she does that, she'll jump onto whatever Grid it is on, which starts her GOD score.  I'll assume success, because she has like, 18 dice against probably something like 6 or 8 dice, but you'll want to roll so you know what her GOD score is at.

Then, she attempts to sleaze a mark onto the device:

6 Hits

Hopefully that's enough to get a mark.  With that, I can trace the user if we lose him.

If she doesn't get the mark, let me know!

Sorry for the delay team...

Jayde, You are in an area run by the London Central demiGOD. They are known to be.... well, draconian is as good a word as any, though there are no Dragons in the GOD. This won't affect yours rolls though it will determine the results that are put into effect should you fail to stay hidden. Parliament and all offices of the Government  are in this local Grid.

The device that is slaved to this vehicle is not the vehicle. It seems to be that the car is nearly completely manual. The device that you detect is a personal device in standby mode. The rating is 5. It is a secure commlink.

The trace is successful and you're experienced enough to know that the second mark would be slightly easier. You are almost certain that the target does know about the hack.

[Jayde Moon]

Matrix Perception to find any MARKS on herself:

2 Hits
2 Hits
4 Hits

This is opposed with Logic + Sleaze (Commlinks don't generally have Sleaze so it will be just Logic if it's a MARK from a Commlink, unless they bought a Sleaze Dongle)

Trisk:

Mirriam is in VR requesting Matrix Backup, not physical backup.

[Triskavanski]

Oh? I just saw you were looking for backup. She needs the deets.

[Nevyn]

Michael's car is running nothing - it is an old, stylish car from the old days. It has no presence and even the wireless access point for the engine management system has been disengaged. You cannot see them but at least 2 of you know that there are added wires in this beauty.

The commlink is a standard secure link and it is doing absolutely nothing (apart from telling Mirriam the 411)

The route that the car is taking is a direct route to Lambeth bridge. The current time is 00.20 and the latest mark on the map is labelled: "Michael's car @ 00.20"

Another roll call:
Car 1 is tailing #9
Michael's car is driving
#1 is on a bike tailing Car 1 (totally by accident but he is in traffic behind #9)
#2 is en route from Gore to #9's location, #6 and #7 are in attendance
#3 is taking a separate route to meet up with #9 through the World's End Estate, Chelsea and Pimlico. #8 is with her.
#4 is behind #1
#5 is... in the matrixes  but her meat body is .... unsure
#9 is behind Michael's car

I've made a few assumptions on people's willingness to speed. Michael is doing the exact speed limit (normal Brits will do 10% over the speed limit). He is rushing no amber lights (that's yellow for our Americans cousins). If  you want to catch him then you needed to bend the rules a bit.

Also - #9 - you've not said anything about losing that tail so they're sort of still with you. A bit further back than they'd like but ...

[Mercy Merchant]

At this point #4 is only aware that she is following #1 and heading to #9 to give support if something goes wrong.  She has no incentive at this time to do other than obey the speed laws.  It would be somewhat hard to explain the weapons she is carrying if some Bobby were to nick her for plus five.

You're gaining on him anyway if you bust through amber lights and generally stick to the 'speed of the road' rather than the speed limit.

[Mercy Merchant]

London Bobbies are not unlike policemen in other major cities.  They will not really harass  people going with the flow of traffic.  I should be safe as long as I am aware of what is going on around me.

[Nevyn]

Moving the clock forward.

The car arrives at and turns onto Lambeth bridge, then crosses and follows the road to Lambeth. This is all relatively straight road and is, again quite busy at this time. Bikes in the UK are allowed to pass cars if there is room so, if you're on a bike,  you'll have to say whether or not you'll pass Car 1 to catch up with #9 or if you'll hang back.

Just ot make sure, only deckert knows what we're actually to do with Micheal? I don't remeber it being mentioned anywhere in either threads.

[gilga]

Deckert is also a bit foggy but for now we tail him. There are recon drones, the comlink is hacked and we try to be professional about it, keep to sub vocal and avoid eye contact or anything similar.

[Nevyn]

Deckert knows. He's told you that this is a tail and report back operation. Actions after reporting back seem to depend on what has been reported. You guys had him for a a few days but this is the first time in 2 weeks so....

Tail and report back.

[Nevyn]

#9, #4, #1 - because you've looked at them... #2 because you've used other eyes and #5 because you might have too

If you've looked at the occupants of Car 1 roll whatever you like to identify them.
