ACHE...? Fang was confused by the reference and quickly looked it up.

Huh... Makes sense why he'd be concerned. You'd think I would have found out about this before, but I was pretty young back then.

@Wang: "I understand that the system is protected and will respect your privacy. Please transmit the account information when ready. I will let you know once I am done so you can delete it."

He spoke aloud, looking at Bulldog as he did so, making sure his voice was not picked up in his conversation with Wang. "Herr Bulldog, I have spoken to Herr Wang about the resonance well and to speak to the metasapient in the system. Is there anything else you wish me to ask of him? He mentioned he would like to not be disturbed further, so I doubt he will be receptive to further contact after this."

[Ren]

Bullgod was not really surprised about the request from Mask. He was used to the scavenging nature of most shadowrunners, and didn't entirelly disagree with what they usually did. He knew that, when you were out in the field on a longer mission, you got your ammo from wherever you could. So, despite feeling that in this case, the question was not appropriate, his voice didn't show any emotion when answering. "These commlinks belonged to the people of our employer so i believe it is his place to decide where they go to. I will forward him your request to keep them, and if he doesn't want to send them to the families of the deciesed, i'm sure he will approve. Until then, we should keep them simply as sources of information."

When he got the info about the working fire departments from Shadow, he put the places on the composed map. "What about the abandoned mines in Carbonado?" he asked her. "Do your friends also go there regularly? Think those might also be worth to take a look at. And don't worry about sending a few hundred nujen their way, if you have to grease the wheels."

He then composed a standard requisition mail to the merc company.
>>From: Brian Holt
To: CWO Julia Davidson
Cc: PrimFort Requisitions Dept.

Chief,
I got into a mission wher my team is facing heavily armored opponents. Requesting appropriate ammunition for the operation, detailed below. Willing to pay double the standard price according to urgency. Need the ammo by tomorrow, noon at latest, with drop point being in Auburn if possible. If the requested equipment is not readily available on stock, set priority back to standard-low, with normal prices.

Ammunition requested:
- Cased APDS, two standard clips, model: Ares Predator IV
- Cased APDS, high-velocity cartridge, one clip, model: modified Ares HVBR

Please respond ASAP.

Sincerely,

@Fang: Welcome then, I hope whatever you find helps to save our son.[link]

Bulldog's answer to Fang came immediately. "I'm not sure we won't have to disturb Mr. Wang's peace anymore, unless the logs on Griffin's commlink contain an exact enumeration of what we need from Hao's room for the ritual tracking. And for that, we also would need a physical meet, so we can leave that for later, i believe. Let's hope that Judah finds useful information in the astral and we don't have to resort to a ritual team. So as of now, you can just go and check if the metasapient has some information for us."

[Sichr]

@Bulldog: At this ammount here is no problem, Your ammo would be available almost instantly. I`ll send the currier, send me coordinated for delivery?

@Nick: As bulldog speaks about materials for some ritual to find the boy, the association to Griffin in one sentence. There was more things amongst those things you`ve collected from bodie, and as you retrieved Forensic kit from Harry Eastwood, you found similar case in the McBride`s possession. It is possible, that if he collected any such samples, they will be inside. Lucky that you took it with you so you can check...

Judah stood firm, "I look for the truth. Who or what are you? Who summoned such a powerful toxic spirit and for what?"

[farothel]

"I have a good contact with the Chulos," Sylvia said, "I'll check to see what they know.  I know some of them are used by smugglers as they pass the border.  But there are a lot of places nobody comes regularly."

From there it was easy, as she just had to contact her brother.
"Hey Julio," she said when contact was made, "I'm working on a case similar to James' and we're having some issues with a toxic shaman.  Do you or any of your friends know something about any of those taking residence in the mine systems back home?"

[Sichr]

@Judah: Ah. Harrow you ssseek. Then you ssseek death like the one that has fallen here.  I am companion of those doomed. The last one has fed me well and he brought real feast at his end. But I may have an answer for your question. Tell me, Rastaman. What do you offer in exchange?
Feel free to roll Assensing or Magic threats spirits knowledge, or both. DP modifier for Assensing remains the same as the last time...

@Wang: "We will find your son, Herr Wang. Thank you for your time."

Fang noted down the link before allowing himself to rest in full VR once more, his body laying limp against the wall again. He followed the web of the matrix, from node to node, routed all the way to Wang's system. As soon as he entered, he began looking for traces of the resonance, hoping to find a signature of the kid, or of the sprite. It also would leave a trace of his own Resonance, allowing the sprite in the system to instantly recognise what he was. As he searched, he took in the makeup of the node, feeling somewhat out of place with his own icon's appearance.

@Fang:
1) The node is built in heart of Resonance well (Apply +4 to all resonance based tests here) Node is sculpted as a Chineese palace. Walls are lined with banners covered by caligraphic symbols, Zen garden looks well kept and the pavilion right where the road takes you is deorated by flowers. You can almost feel their scent, also breeze from the lake, as house is built on the cliff above. To this point you can say that it reflects human nature of the node owner and creator. You are quite sure, newerthless, that other things...like surrounding and sky above, all covered by symbols alien to your mind, strange shapes that do only remotely remind you of earth surface, unknown matrerials and reflections, geometric clouds and symetric reflections in the lake. You are quite sure, on the other side, that normal user would be unaware of those things, and apparently this place was for long time shaped and changed by some Matrix Genius loci.
2) There are no traces of Hao`s signature left in the node...not surprising, taking into consideration that he is missing for many hours now
3) 20d6.hits(5)=5 Seeems like you are here alone, there are no other matrix signatures...at least visible...

@Nick: Jacqueline seems scared, almost threatened by this topic. You know her all your life, and you can recognize when she feels good, when she feels angry. And now, she feels scared. Highly uncomfortable feeling for the lady.
She is not telling you everything. You know her, she is quite chatty, and as youve got her attention you would suppose she would be currious, maybe even inquisitive. She sounds like she wants to talk much more on this topic, but also she restrains herself to this short message. She is not telling you all she knows, but on the other side, that is exactly what she is telling you

He's an ork, but whatever. lol

Judah responds, "Most people have been seeking death lately than. Jah protects me from it, which is why I am hunting it. This Harrow, who or what is he. What be his deal?"

[Sichr]

@Sylvia: Your brother is available at the moment, which means he stays in some civilized parts and that he is not on the smuggler run acros Sioux or Tir. Chulos like to give their young proper education, as far as you kow...
Ola sister. Hold your horses. Like James you say? And toxic shaman? In Carbonado? Well I really doubt that he would be living on our turf, well these suckers are hard to recognize, arent they? I`ll ask around if anyone saw or heard something usefull and call you back. If you pay us a visit, I can tell our guys to give you a tour, so you are safe her. If you find any more informations, I will use them further. Take care, I`ll get back to you as soon as I know something.

[Sichr]

@Judah: Many questions, many answers. Great knowledge I have, and great knowledge I offer. I will whisper those in your dreams if you allow me, and will accompany you on your hunt. I cannot protect you, though, from consequences of your actions...if you hear my advices and how you use the knowledge is only upon yourself to choose. So tell me Rastaman, do we have a pact?

As you focus on the source of the power around, you finally recognize the being amongst the surrounding chaos. It seems like a shadow, present at the edge of your visual field, almost unnoticeable. From what you have seen on this dmoain before, and what you see now, the being doesn`t belong here the same way you don`t, and its magic power is almost comparable to yours.
