physical, the freestanding garage via the drone-from before-on a live feed
The done is able to enter the garage no problem via a few small cracks.  Its a garage like you'd see in any middle to upscale neighboorhood with one exception.  There is a chikcen coop in here.  And here is where the horror show takes place.  Each individual house's wires are ripped open and all the chickens are ripped apart.  An animal did not do this as whole chickens are here, just ripped to pieces.  Blood, feathers, and fat maggots all cover the floor.

Physical, the attacked garages
When the lights went green on the other items, it also went green here.  It looks like you can enter the houses via the garages.

Matrix
--ooc-- I forgot about the attached garage.  Those are open as well by your hand as well---ooc--

Alf  returns to his body in time to see the drone feed of the chicken coops.  "Matches what I saw in astral, and I got a feeling of something like deliberate torture of them."

Seeing that the doors have gone green, Alf enthuses "Nice job, Spitfire!" before remembering that she's deep in the matrix so probably not hearing him.  Turning his enthusiasm to a new topic he suggests over the voice link "Let's get under cover, not give those gangers a target to start anything with."  Alf has long experience in tough looking types thinking he looks like a good target to push around.

As soon as they are in the house Alf offers "Who is good at noticing details? I could probably hit you up with an intuition boost to make you even better at it."

-ooc-

Due to a glitch in character building, Alf doesn't have the perception skill.  Will fix that as soon as we get karma.  His sustained Increase Intuition spell would have fallen off, I think, when he astrally went into the garage -- background count of 3 would have lowered the force to 2, less than his Intuition, and since the spell force has to at least equal the stat it is increasing ... poof, by my understanding.

Since he will be re-casting anyway might as well boost whoever has the highest perception.  Alf himself defaults to 4, I'm assuming others can beat that.

And Biotech, could you maybe shift future 'magic' results text to have a little more orange in it, or something?   The yellow text on the pale grey background I just can't make out--I find that to read it I have to highlight it,   And highlighting on my phone is a pain.  I think it just needs to be a little bit darker and I'll be able to make it out without tricks.

 Rolling 5d6 + 9
( 6 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 2 ) + 9 = 34   That's pretty good!

Derren opened the heavy garage door and gagged at the smell, pocketing his drone and replacing it in it's belt pouch. Letting the others in, he swung the door down heavily before the gangers arrived and asked awkward questions.
<<I know this is obvious, but make sure the cameras are clean eh? We don't know who's keeping an eye on this place>>
He drew his pistol and toggled his flashlight on before entering the house, cautious for noises

Matrix
The host revs up [2d6+12] = 11+12 = 23  You easily beat it.  What would you like to do?

Physical
It's quite in the house.  You see no signs of anyone here.  You think you are not being followed by the gangers down the street.

[Csjarrat]

Derren motioned to the others and stepped into the house quietly, his attention co-processor pinging objects as he did his best to scrutinise the rooms as he walked through them, looking for anything significant.

"You look like you know what you are doing, with this looking around stuff"  Alf shrugs and admits "I get too impatient to be a good searcher.  So if you don't mind, let me put this spell on you to help things along.  I just need to touch you for a moment"

--ooc-- Assuming Derren is OK with this, of course-- don't know if he has any issues with magic being put on him?  I don't know Derren's intuition, but so long as it is 5 or less this should work.  And I think we are now in the house itself, not the small garage (which has a background count)?

Assuming my assumptions are all good ....

Casting increase intuition at force 5, rolling 11 dice = 4 successes  http://orokos.com/roll/336178
   Drain of 2 resisted with 10 dice = 6 successes, no drain http://orokos.com/roll/336181

and InvisibleCastle seems to be MIA, so moving over to orokos as a dice roller

So give Derren +4 intuition, and sustain it with focused concentration.

[Spitfire]

Noticing the program draw on her she quickly decided to try and crash his program giving her time to exit or try and gain control of the system.



Gonna try and Crash Program.

Rolling 12d6
( 4 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 4 ) = 42     four successes, Hope it works!

Forgive me if I try anything I cant, matrix actions are still kinda new to me.

OOC
Sorry I've been away.  Life has gotten a bit crazy out here, and I haven't been feeling well.  I'm back, and at least doped up enough to run!  Let's snort some Novacoke!

Matrix
The patrol program tries to dodge your attack.  [10d6s4] = 3+[2d6s4] = 1  You get close, but the program manages to survive.  The patrol man raises a trumpet to it's lips and sounds a digitized alarm, which sounds strange coming from a harold's trumpet.  Outside, you see the sky flash red and back to blue repeatedly.

Physical
You look over the house carefully.  The house you entered isn't anything out of the ordinary aside from being clean and well kept.  Upstairs, you see the attic hatches leads to a steeple roof with crawl space that looks to have been re-enforced some with murder holes in the fascia on all four sides of the home making the yard a possible kill zone.  From this vantage point, faintly warn away sports bike tracks near the chicken coop on the street side of the moat.
[4d6s4] = 3  You were hit with a spell to increase your intuition, so I'm rolling and adding to your result. 
With 6 hits, you also find a hidden passage behind a shelf of what looks to be canned beans next to the washing machine. The hidden room contains a table and four chairs on the table is a map of Chicago; the map has been cordoned off into what looks to be a search grid pattern with many of the sections crossed out. There is a description of a boy that looks like it was reconstructed by several people’s memories; the boy is described as 1.75 meters tall, weight 50 kg, a blue spiked Mohawk, teen aged white human next to the drawing is the words Melisa and the date 8/24/2055 circled.

It looks like you've got a good grasp of this place, but you're not quite sure what you stumbled into....

[Beta]

--ooc-- there has been a nasty bug going around my area, haven't been feeling great either.  Glad you are on the way to recovery!

"This place gives me the serious creeps."  Alf twitches and adds "I don't know what story it is telling, but I'm sure it isn't a happy one.  Let me do a last astral sweep inside, then I'm for getting out of here soon as it looks clear."  Alf finds a solid looking chair to sit down in, then goes astral and does a sweep of the house.  One of the women was a registered mage so he's particularly looking for a lodge or spell traces.

Asensing (int 5 + asensing 3 =) 8 dice, roll 3 hits  (in a rush so just rolled, rather than using an on-line roller)

Matrix


Sighing Spitfire tries to crash program trying to avoid dataspiking and subsequently bricking the whole system.

Rolling 12d6
( 1 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 5 ) = 49

There we go! Six! Next target would be the herald.

Rolling 12d6
( 4 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 6 ) = 48

And another six! not to shabby!

[biotech66]

Astral
You look around the house quickly.  This place feels like home, but has a strange air of business to it.  Like if you live in an arcology.  Nothing pops out at you aside form the lingering astral stink of something big and bad moving through here.

Matrix
The new icon of the fighter attempts to dodge your attack.  [10d6s5] = 3+[2d6s5] = 0  It fails and you quickly dispatch it.  The trubadore is still playing the trumpet, and the host will most likely launch another attack program.
ooc-A host can launch as programs as its rating, one each turn.  You might just have to run from the host-ooc


You've explored the home and found all you think you can find.  What would you like to do next?

[Beta]

"What next -- talk to the gangers outside, talk to the neighbors, or go to the clinic?"

Checking in. I'm here, and waiting to see what you decide to do.
