Bulldog's eyes watered as he tried to make any sense from the words that came from the magician. Dear God, he couldn't make it more complicated even if he tried! To Judah, he said. "Man, try to phrase it in a way so that one that doesn't speak Rastafari understands. For one, Harrow is a classification for a type of toxic spirit, it's a toxic spirit of man. From your words, however, it seems that it wasn't a Harrow, it was the Harrow? Could you tell anything specific from the spirit's signature, like its strength - an estimation on the Schwartzkopf scale if possible -, powers used, any specialities... And what you tell us, it lets me conclude that the place you visited was among streets and houses? 'Cuz honestly, i can't believe you could not discern hardened lava flows from streets. And not just in the place itself, but in the vicinity. If we knew the relative position of the Carbonado hills and two lakes or major lava flows, we could triangulate an estimated position, which would significantly narrow down our AOO." The ork's nostrils almost flared as he made a list of the immediate, basic questions that came to his mind. "And what do you mean, a different astral presence hunting the toxic spirit? Do you suspect this presence will cross our paths if we continue on our current course? Will it pose a threat? 'Cuz the news about MCT was bad enough, if we also have to calculate with an unknown third or fourth party, that will be very problematic and thats an understatement."

Losing his monumentum, mainly because the lack of air in his lungs, Bulldog stood panting and finally let the others cut in.

Fang shook his head in dismay. @Sprite: I see your point. At the moment, I won't be able to get any good information out of it. I could try to track it down in the Resonance, but failing that, there isn't much I could do; my method of perception doesn't allow me to understand it. Thank you for your assistance all the same, I did learn something of note here. But I think it's time for us to leave now, I should let you go and I need to finish other tasks as well.

Wait... He paused. @Sprite: Okay, maybe there is something I can do.  I'll probably be unresponsive for a period of time, so my apologies.

His icon closed its eyes as he allowed himself to slowly slip into a meditative state, calming his thoughts and feelings so he could think with pure clarity. Breathing slowly, jumbled up emotions and thoughts slowly becoming ordered and clean. His need to understand Archivist, his need to find Hao, his need to be prepared on the matrix for attackers; all ordered themselves appropriately. Zero-One expects nothing less. ... Zero-One? I would request your aid in understanding an entity's communications... Please guide me.

"I do not believe it's from MCT. He was a companion of the magician, Griffin from the bar we were at. I am sure we can find the area, especially if we can triangulate da position." he ties his dreads back, "I'll know where it will be once I am there...it's very distinctive, trust."

...
Time is up
...
@Fang: The answer comes...but completely different from what you`ve expected. One moment you prepares for one moment, you prepare for the meeting with your paragon, entering almost meditative state of mind. Next time, you fall throught the shards of burning pain back to meat.

(Resist HotSim Dumpshock)

Disoriented you look around, to faces of the others, alerted and scared by your violent wake up. You feel complete disorientation, not having even clue what the hell happened.

@Everyone: At the single moment, your team networked commlinks send the message...
Master node offline
Adminitrator access required

...and then they set to standby mode.

"What the...," Sylvia said, as she immediately put her commlink in a reboot cycle, as she was taught to do when she suspected a hack.

Bulldog barked at Fang. "Sitrep!" Sometimes it took a simple stimulus to get someone together. And as he wasnt sure if something happened at Fang's end or theirs, he stood ready for anything.

[spoiler=Dumpshock]Willpower (2) + Biofeedback Filter (3) (5d6.hits(5)=3)

Dumpshock MDV = 2P.

Disorientation for 8 minutes. -2 to all actions.

All threaded complex forms vanish.[/spoiler]

Fang let out a loud yelp, his body thrashing slightly as he suddenly felt himself dumped from the matrix, his meatspace awareness rushing to him as his connection was abruptly chopped away. He panted slightly as a small line of blood trickled out of his nose and down his muzzle.

Ow.

He felt confused, this place wasn't his den, where was he? What time was it? Why did all these people only seem slightly familiar? Wh-

Bulldog's yell cut through the confusion, provoking an immediate response as he rested one clawed hand on his head, feeling somewhat dizzy. "Ow... Shiesse. Ein minuten, bitte." With the dump had gone his connection to the English Linguasoft that he carried. As he spoke, he held up a claw to symbolise his request for Brian to wait a minute.

[spoiler=Reboot]Complex Action - Reboot: System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=3) 3/10
System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=3) 6/10
System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=3) 9/10
System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=2) 11/10
Four turns to shut down.

System (4) turns to start rebooting.

Complex Action - Reboot: System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=4) 4/10
System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=5) 9/10
System (4) + Response (7) - Disorientation (2) (9d6.hits(5)=3) 12/10
Three combat turns to finish rebooting.

Total time taken: 21 seconds (33 seconds if needed to shut down first).[/spoiler]

"No information... Unique metasapient..." As he spoke events rushed back to him. The mission, his hanging around on  the node, the incomprehensibility of the Archivist, going to meditate, then everything shattering. He winced as his head throbbed. "Got dumped..." Even as he responded, he was having trouble focusing on faces, and on events. He forced himself to try and breathe slowly to calm down, attempting to flush and restore his connection to the Matrix.

@Wang: Account no longer required... Thank you for your assistance. - Fang

"What in Babylon!!" He turns an jolts up when fang thrashed. His screen shows up a message and would quickly turn his Comm off. He looks over...a bit concerned.

Nick stands in front of the elevator on its way up, "Be careful...." Nick looks around quickly to find a small place to duck into before the elevator arrives, maybe its not a good thing to be seen here...

As he does his commlink shuts down, "This can't be good" as he trys to move outta sight his hand moves up to his vest, "relax your fine"

If there is a place he can move to, to be out of sight of the elevator he will do so.

"Ah... Oh dear... The changeling murmured as the diagnostic results came up in his vision. He blanched slightly as he noted that Nick's accessID was still unavailable. "Um... Herr Bulldog...? You... Wouldn't happen to know where Herr Nick is, would you?" He was still somewhat disoriented, but struggling as best he can to address the issues in the diagnostic. The reboot did help to a degree at least. "My subscription to his commlink is unresponsive. Probably nothing of concern... But worth being cautious."

He paused as something else occurred to him. "... Also be on guard... If something did happen to Herr Nick... Then they could have traced the connection to me if they have another techno on the job." The headache was mostly gone, and he seemed unaware that there was a thin streak of blood on his muzzle.

You quickly look around as your nervosity grows and when you noticed emergency stairway doors quite close, you jumped there and tried to disappear from the view

"I have no clue where he is," Sylvia said while she grabbed her medkit from her car, "but first, let me check you out.  You shouldn't be bleeding like that."


if he let's her, first aid roll.
logic 4 + medkit 5 =9 (9d6.hits(5)=4)

That means that your 2P are healed.

Bulldog started to swear but cut himself short, addressing the mage. "Judah, can you check around in the astral? I'd like to know if we have some lurkers around the building. Then, if we are safe, can you find Nick by his aura? He might need help." Then he turned to the others. "Spread out, find whatever you can use as cover, and prepare for a possible attack. Fang, i want you to scan for any nodes that might pose a threat - vehicles, hidden commlinks gathering around us, whatever." The ork was already moving, opening the door slowly and carefully, holding his rifle ready to fire, peeking out into the building.

Nick quickly moves toward the stairwell...

Infiltration Roll: Agl 4 -1 Default = 3
3d6.hits(5)=1
Perception Roll: Skill 4 + INT 5 + Perceptive (+2) + 2 Visual = 13
13d6.hits(5)=6

and if the visual Specialization doesn't apply,
 11d6.hits(5)=2
