Vin, you are free to act, your further steps are up to you.

Nathen: I`ll wait for Judah`s further action to distribute the legwork and datasearch in time, so you spend those two hours purposefully

@Vin manifesting still only gives astral sight, so you will not be able to read.

Basicaly when manifesting you still are in the astral but you makeyourself visible and hearable.

Also sorry guys, not having proper web, just the one in my phone.

I always interpret it as you can see everything somewhat normal except something electronically like a commlink screen or a trideo. Unless street signs are electronic than I understand that.

Most of them probably are in SR, although in Puyallup I'm not sure if they have street signs (AR or common).  The best you can do is manifest and check out a couple of landmarks that we can find back the area on the SR version of Google maps.

Exactly. Your best bet is to find some orientation points, which you will try to locate in physical world, and to get better view on surroundings, so you are able to guess distances (well this is astral, distances are more subjective than exact)

 not sure if it's RAW enough for Sichr, but there is a definate answear in the FAQ's
http://www.shadowrun4.com/game-resources/frequently-asked-questions/

How does astral perception work for an astrally-projecting character who is manifesting? Is it psychic, like regular assensing, or since they’re manifesting can they actually read street signs?

Astral perception while manifesting is still a psychic phenomenon. Though physical characters can see and hear the astral form, the astral form perceives only shadows, auras, and emotional content (Astral Visability, p.114, Street Magic).

thank god for wifi hotspoting phones

[Sichr]

which is mostly the same thing I was saying. Good we have consensus backed by RAW, now go on

@MAx: As you`ve voiced responsibility for team`s data infrastruture and such things, would you please describe the network architecture and security layout.

@Everyone: To make it easier for Max, please post in single posts here in OOC your commlink stats only, to have it all at one place.

[MaxKojote]

@Sichr: It will likely consist of: "I slave everyone to my bionode."  This will also allow me to run a centralised tactical network. If you need more detail, please specify an idea of what you're looking for. That said...

Biological Commlink:
Response: 7 (8 in VR)
Signal: 4
System: 4
Firewall: 2

Decoy commlink (all matrix traffic is routed through this)
Response: 2
Signal: 4
System: 2
Firewall: 2

[Sichr]

Encryption?
Active countermeasures?.
Also even if slaved, Id like to know the weakest spot (sure, not because I would like to strike at it ), since not every commlink in the team has the same Firewall and analyze rating.
If you run Stealth, Id like to know what is the Stealth rating, so it can be used for opposed rolls for matrix perception.
Data management: what is acessible by any member of the on the netwok and what is acessible only if someone asks nicely, stored on chips of turned off devices?

As MaxKojote also mentioned tactical networks, here are my possible channels ( from the PAN:
Sigth
 - normal
 - low-light
 - smartlink
Hearing
 - normal
 - spatial recognizer
Biomonitor
Other
 - improved rangefinder
 - commlink scan program

Just filled the Gap with those ritual materials. IIRC Griffin took some of them with himself, and also the diary found in the car (the one with the drawing) is a symbolic link from boy`s possession.
