Wilco, nods to Ramses in agreement for the information. " Aye, Good to know, thats us dwarfs can still count on one another."

[Boer_Kommando]

"Any Half&Half in the Soykaf" Mata asks with a smirk on his face, leaning on the van smoking one of his gold filtered cigarettes when he sees the cups in the hands of his approaching team mates. "You arent seriously going to eat anything out of this place are you?"

[Sentinemodo]

Still discussing, you drove a short trip west and north and ten minutes later arrived at the gate of the small park.

Park & Ride

The single gate is iron one from 20th century, covered with graffittis, but there are no fences around the city's green spot. There is a small (5 meters) lookout tower facing the body of water to the east. Park is illuminated by lanterns, and so close to downtown thanks to frequent Knight Errant patrols almost all of them are functioning. A small (3 humans) detachment of Knight Errants is walking as well. Small groups of local kids are still present, but as more nocturnal creatures start to emerge they gradually retire.

The time is 09:35 pm, 11:25 hours to the ransom deadline

please make Intuition + visual Perception (4) test

Stryker gets more focused on arrival. His movements become sharper, and his stance is somewhere between 'relaxed' and 'combat-ready'. He already prepared himself for the predicted encounter.
Before they arrived he cast two of his spells, in silence and motionlessly sitting on his spot in the van... The first one he managed at half the expected power, but he was still satisfied with the results, and the smoothness of the Mana flow. He grounded the tiny stream supplying magical power to the spell that let him float to the bracelet, and it settled nicely, sending a hum of activity through his arm.

Casting Levitate at Force 2: Magic(4)+Spellcasting(5) (9d6.hits(5)=1)
Levitate 2S Drain: Intuition(5)+Willpower(5) (10d6.hits(5)=3)

The second spell on the other hand almost left him breathless. He was prepared for the mind-boggling feeling of Mana infusing his nervous system and increasing his reactions threefold, but not to the amount of uncompensated magic. He managed only to control his twitching arms after a few seconds, getting a few odd looks from his teammates.

Casting Increase Reflexes at Force 3: Magic(4)+Spellcasting(5) (9d6.hits(5)=4)
Increase Reflexes 3S Drain: Intuition(5)+Willpower(5) (10d6.hits(5)=1) (That's 2S damage.

He reached for the medkit afterwards, trying to assess and repair the damage that rampant Mana could do to his body.

Logic(4)+First Aid(1)+Medkit(6)-Conditions(1) (10d6.hits(5)=3) That's 1S damage healed, leaving Stryker at 1/11S

When they finally arrived, he quickly scanned the vicinity for any threats, as he was taught once... And immediately slipped into Astral perception, to find any threats only his Mind's Eye could perceive.

Visual Perception: Intuition(5)+Perception(2)+Enhanced(3) (10d6.hits(5)=4)

{Spirits: 3 Watcher spirits.}

[Sentinemodo]

Stryker was first to found - near the left pillar of the gate lay a certified credstick with 400 nuyens.

[Kot]

Stryker's alarm level rose up, and he began to scan the surroundings for possible traps. Nobody just leaves credsticks like that.
"Does this look fishy to you two? Eight-Stone, what do you think?"

[Boer_Kommando]

"It's looked fishy since we met the Johnson, but yeah it's either your lucky day or its a set up." Mata remarks flippantly.

[Sentinemodo]

Neither you nor your Watchers scan any immediate danger.

[Kot]

"So, It's probably something lost, but I'd be careful with it. Can you scan it for tags, or other stupid matrix traps, Cursor? Anyways, if it's clean, let's say it's additional mission funds.
Stryker immediately turns his attention to the park itself, sending his Watchers out to seek either one of the women from the footage, or any magical Barrier , Awakened, or Dual-Natured being in the park itself.

[JDA]

Wilco, launches his stromcloud drone to provide surveillance of the park.

Wilco, launches his stromcloud drone to provide surveillance of the park.

This action has pretty fast resulted in confirmation, that nowhere in park and in its direct vicinity are any of the three woman that were seen on the footage in the ranch. (but it would be quite difficult to recognize them if they changed their armors, clothes, hairdressing etc)
 
It has also garnered you some extra attention from the Knight Errant patrol team. But they aren't (yet) moving to check you out.

How large is medium size drone with body 3. Unless there is some info on that I'd assume it has about 0,5 diameter. BUt I am open to suggestions.

Wilco if you wish to start a visual surveliance on a larger scale, I need to know the visual enhancement rating and the range you wish to scan in km. As well as if the drone is rigger modified, and if you are jacked in or driving in on remote. This is important if you decide to simultaneusly drive the car.

40 Minutes =_=

[Sentinemodo]

After 5 second Cursor was satisfied after finishing his throughout scan of the neighbourhood. Enhanced senses, drones, spirits, technomancer scans, all for nothign, there is nothing particular in the park except the suspicious credstick. It took almost 20 minutes you close in the Black Cats favourite bar.

Panning for Gold

By the time you arrive there, the Hardpan is in full swing. Outside the beat of heavy bass reverberates through the ground beneath your feet. Most of the cars in the parking lot are four by four jeeps which obviously see a lot of use on back hill roads common in the outer extremities of the Sioux sector where the border patrol is thinner. Looking into the wind, you see the Riverside Cemetery’s well-kept lawns and silently thank any greater power you believe in that you are upwind from the sewage treatment plant. One odd thing you do notice is, despite the obvious popularity of the bar, there is no bouncer.

Entering the bar, the reason for the lack of bouncer becomes quite apparent. With the exception of you, every single person in the bar is a Sioux Amerindian. Wildcats rub elbows with faces and reputations that you’ve heard whispered through the shadows.

The bartender is an imposing woman who looks like she has probably seen it all and bought the t-shirt. Her cyber-eyes focus tightly on all of you, even as her lip takes on a heavy curl of discontent.

Behind the bar, a large “No Smoking” sign hangs clearly.

The time is 10:10 pm, 10:50 hours to the ransom deadline.

JDA, let me know please if you leave the drone on scanning, or if you take it with yourself.

[Chrona]

"Poor Mata"

Cursor walks in and surveys the place, "What's the plan? Send MT as a Mr.J looking to hire them?"

[Kot]

Stryker sits down somewhere safe, with his back covered, and Eight-Stone nearby, and starts to scour the astral signatures of female club-goers. He also sets his Watchers to seek their targets in the club, but without disturbing any Awakened beings, or magical security.
