Judge Intentions check: 4 Successes for Torrent

First of all: All the ladies appreciate your appearance.
Two of which are probably in a stable relationship. Only one of them has a data jack: The blond tall girl
She is flirty but rather teasing. The pierced girl shows real interest.


Torrents entry is positively received. The girls seem to be all friends, two of which are definitively single.
After a few moves and close watching of their bodies (only for science of course), Torrent narrows it down to the blond tall girl as the likeliest candidate:
She is fit but very pale, her body language implies that she is not in fact starved for male attention but enjoys it nevertheless. A small ring on her left hand indicates a stable relationship with someone quite wealthy and exquisite taste. Torrent also recognizes her steps as part of Capoeira - she is at least a regular practitioner.

While getting a bit nearer to her, he realizes that her hair is in fact a smart wig and her make up is applied in such a way as to fool facial recognition software.

Torrent focuses his attention on the pierced girl seemingly ignoring the blond one.
He pulls her close and yells in her ear above the sound of the booming music.

"Have you seen Molly?I can't seem to find her."

[Jack_Spade]

"I have no idea who Molly is? What does she look like? My name is Tigra by the way!"
the pierced girl replied.

[Sabato Kuroi]

Shit, it seems the raver slang must have changed during the last five decades....that's what too many  vintage films do to you Torrent...


"Forget about it.At least I found you, Tigra. I'm Kevaughn. I hope your friends don't mind me distracting you, but you got the moves  and I couldn't resist dancing with you."

[Jack_Spade]

Torrent actually sees the girl blushing at that: "Don't worry, they'll get over it. Haven't seen you here before, are you new in town..."
In the course of the flirting, Torrent learned quite a bit about Tigra: She works as a dispatch agent for a large pizza joint and manages quite a lot of transport drones  - rigging them to their destination if necessary.
Careful inquiry brings to light that the other girls are all in similar matrix-related professions. The name of the blond girl is given as Friga.

Slobbertooth takes off his headphones to try and get the pounding music out of his head for a bit.

I think i'm starting to see why people take drugs to dull the senses at these clubs.

In the meantime, bnc tries another approach to find out who the decker is. By filtering out every commlink she can identify, the girl tries to narrow it down to one or two people who don't run a commlink. So, if the decker doesn't sport an additional 'link, well ... Her hope is faint, but she's willing to try. After a sip of her coke, bnc checks every icon that appears to be close to the elven ladies.

Matrix Perception: 11d6t5 2

[Jack_Spade]

bnc's hope is indeed shattered: All four ladies sport commlinks. Noteable - the blond girl has a Transsys Avalon, while Tigra sports an honest to god Fairlight Caliban. The other two girls are both equipped with Hermes Ikons.

[Sabato Kuroi]

Torrent excuses himself and goes to refill his and Tigra's  drinks.

As he approaches the bar, he quickly sends a message and then turns his commlink off.


@team: <<It must be the tall one, Friga. I'm going silent, we don't know how good she is. Be prepared to follow her when she leaves.Οh, and keep in mind, she's disguised.>>


Torrent returns to the dance floor. He intends on dancing and flirting with Tigra fore the rest of the night, and he's not going to try anything inside the club.

[Jack_Spade]

It's around 0100 that bnc notices Friga leave once again for the toilets. She immediately becomes suspicious when the icon of the woman's commlink winks out. A few seconds later a woman in black with long raven black hair steps out and walks towards the exit. But thanks to the warning bnc recognizes her as Friga.

Torrent meanwhile is somewhat distracted by Tigra's not so subtle cues to find some place more privat.

[Volker]

<@team <Mrs. X is leaving the place. Tall elf, black hair. I'll follow in an instant. Don't let her escape.>

Still only using her commlink, bnc keeps watching Friga's matrix activity.

"One more thing.Frigga is the name of the Norse goddess of beauty and love. It matches the matrix iconography we found. It must be her."

As soon as the woman is out, bnc quickly pays and exits the club.

[Jack_Spade]

bnc leaves the club just as the elf girl has reached a Yamaha Rapier and is in the process of donning a helmet and an armor jacket.
There she noticed something interesting: The girl had deactivated her commlink - so for the moment her bike was not part of a PAN and only had it's Pilot to defend against attacks.



Stealth check from bnc.
Also, she has about three combat rounds before the machine starts and is part of a PAN again.

Perception check -6 from Torrent if he notices the departure despite being... distracted.

Rest of the team: Stealth+Reaction check if you want to discreetly pick up bnc.

[Volker]

Now, here's my chance! I won't blow it this time!

Eager to prove her worth, bnc immediately starts to attack the bike.

Stealth: 6d6t5 5
Badoom! I'm pretty sure that I'm capped by my limit. I'm not on my computer, so I'll have to double-check it.

INI roll: 1d6+10 15
Hacking on the Fly: 2#17d6t5 2 4

I use on point of Edge to re-roll in the first attempt.
re-roll: 15d6t5 2

3 points of Edge left, IIRC.
Can I "sustain" Trace User or do I have to do it each time I need to locate it?
I'll move on after your response.
EDIT: I got the CRB now and the wording is clear about that. I start tracing:
Trace Icon: 11d6t5 4
I used 2 combat rounds now.

[Sabato Kuroi]

Perception (-6 dice,forgot to remove them from my pool): 4d6t5 2
two 1s and two 5s

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth jumped into the driver's seat and turned on the engine. He was hesitant to immediately begin pursuit, though. "You guys want to enjoy the club some more, and have us pick you up later, or do you want to come along?"
