Fang shook his head at Sylvia as she took out her medkit. "Save your supplies.... This is fairly normal for being forcefully dumped from the matrix. I'll be fine." As Bulldog began calling out orders, the changeling nodded and moved to the room Sylvia had been using earlier, hiding beside the doorway with his shotgun poking around it. Remembering Bulldog's other offer, he began to set up a call to the Resonance. As he did so, the sprite coalesced in front of him in AR, taking the form of what appeared to be a ball of blue light with wings.

@Navi: Please attempt to find the hidden nodes in mutual signal range.

He was still somewhat out of it and figured the sprite could do a much better job than he ever could at finding the hidden nodes. At the same time, he quickly attempted to get the co-ordinates of Nick's last location before everything fell apart.  Would be able to give the mage an easier area to look at.

@Sylvia: Despites Fangs really differen anatomy, you are still able to apply the right treatment, but even with this, Fang proves to be difficult patient. Maybe it has something to do with the fact he is technomancer, since the same type of problems you recall for awakened "patients". But at least bleeding stops .

@Bulldog: Yu carefuly opened the door to the loft to check whole area. Except for missing Nick`s car there seems to everything clear, no sign of danger.

@Fang: Scan reveals standard traffi in the area, including some long range retrans stations placed on the ruooftops. It doesnt take too long for Navi to finish this search,and to standard nodes detected with scan for the first try he adds long summary of AcessID`s running in stealth mode. Complete list is about tens of thousands of AcessIDs long, approx every tenth is running hidden mode. most density of the nodes is in close vincinity of the loft, number decreasing with MSR range. Navi quickly eliminates those who doesn`t fit you request, and the complete list of hidden nodes in 4 km MSR range contains a few thousands matches. You feel even a bit more dizzy watching all those results.

@Nick: You`ve jumped to the doors and enter the stairwell. You tried to close doors behind you silently, as you have some limited view on the coridor and the spot in front of elevator. With almos inaudible "clck" doors shut right in the moment when elevator arived.
Elevator doors opened, with standard computer voice announcement of the floor number. And fom shadows and multiple reflections around the place you are quite sure, that there are two humanoid figures comming out the elevator. You certainly are not able to see any details, but for the moment you had the feeling you noticed reflection on something one of them helds in his hand. You look around for possible escape routes...one is up, another is down, and you also notice standard, wired, security 360°view camera monitoring the stairwell.
You are lucky that your mother decided to live in secured appartement complex. Or are you not?

When Buldog said to spread out and prepare for an attack, Sylvia checked the most likely intrusion spots, going on her own experience in sneaking into places she wasn't welcome.  She had her predator out, but her knife was also loose in it's sheat and she regularly checked the astral as well in case the surprise came from there.  And she could also see people coming from the astral as well, as auras were not as easy to hide than bodies.  You could hide the fact that it was an awakened aura, but not the fact that there was an aura.

[MaxKojote]

Fang whimpered quietly as he noted the string of results that had come up. He already had an headache, he didn't need this swarm of results adding to it. He looked at Navi, feeling somewhat tired and annoyed by current events.

@Navi: Mind sorting out the results a bit? Specify the ones that are wireless smartlinks. I'd like to think we aren't being swarmed this badly.

@Bulldog: Trying to sort through all the results I'm getting at the moment. Either running on hidden is an honoured pastime in this area, there are a lot of people lying low, or we are in serious trouble. Be careful.

Fang: Navi thinks about your request, apparently he figures out what is behind your answer. Than the report changes, as he applies new search criteria. At the end you have a few dozens of commlinks running stealth with the signal high enought to fall into the MSR area. After little hissitation, Navi adds also some bionodes it was able to find in the area. Thhan powerfull sprite shows what you are paying him for. Being able to triangulate signals and extrapolate multiple relations between nodes and such, he is able to show you the overview almost as if you have Telemetrics Infrastructure map of nearest surrounding, cca 100 meters circle, in front of you. From the look of it, it doesn`t seem there are any hidden nodes inside the safehouse, and those you can see are moving indifferently to your location.
Rest of identified commlinks are behind this 100m range. On the other side, as you can see the results, Navi highlites those with attached wireless smartlink signals. Not surprisingly this is almost 100% match.

It doesnt seem there is any immediate threat present, at least from my point of view. I cannot judge the different worlds. Well next time feel free to be more general, Im not the basic CHN subroutine, you know...
Navi seems a bit offended. But just a little bit. And also...self-content and happy that his results possibly surprised you and amazed you a bit...

Judah calls upon his force 7 spirit of beast as he flips on his assensing as he looks over to it, "Look around and tell me if anyone that is an enemy to us is looking to attack us." The spirit nods as it scowls the building. Judah scopes the loft a bit before looking out the windows.

11 dice = my assensing, 14 dice = spirits (11d6.hits(5)=5, 14d6.hits(5)=4) 5 hits on me, 4 hits for the spirit

Bulldog went out of the office, down behind the stairs, and started his guard duty. All the while he was racking his brain for a solution. One of the team went offline, and it didn't bode well for the rest of them if someone took him out, either by capturing or by eliminating him. Should've sent someone with him. Although the ork scolded himself inwardly, he wasn't sure it would've been te best course of action. He knew that most of the people had contacts they weren't going to introduce to the rest of the team, and if Nick and one other were separated near their destionation, the team could be two down. Should've at least asked for some emergency contact or a sealed file with the destination. He wasn't satisfied with how he handled things so far.

[Nathen]

Nick takes a moment to note the info on his commlink from his conversation earlier lest he forget them, then quickly makes his way down the staircase to the bottom floor.

[Sichr]

@Nick: Lights changed to emergency mode, and corridors in the building are lit with dark orange glow and flashing of Emergency Exit signs and pointers. Intercom of the building comes to life with three audible beeps. Soft, calming woman voice reads short message, that from now on will be repeated every 60 seconds:

This is emergency lockdown. Please, stay calm and inside your apartement. Your doors will be locked for your own safety. If you are in common areas, follow the highlited route to security checkpoints. Please. Help us maintain safety in your home. Use intercom systems to report any unknown  citizens or suspicious behavior.Thank you.

Quick look over the shoulder, back to coridor, show you green lights on locks turning to red, changing appartements into cells.

[Current Distance < 10 meters]

@Judah: Beast appears right next to you, alert and ready for hunt. In its astral shapes you can see reflection of every predator and prey on this planet, it depends only upon you what aspect you choose to serve your purposes. With your command, Spirit`s contours blurrs and in the next moment he explodes in myriads of little astral marmots, finding their ways throu cracks in shadows they spread into the surrounding area. for a moment you are receiving overhelming stream of details in  close vicinity of the loft, no astral sparkle avoids your attention, then your beast returns and you can see it gazes with furious hatred into you dark shadow...

There is no danger but yourself, master. You was touched by great evil, and your very essence is in danger now. Watch your steps and call me only in the greatest need, or to help you to fight the demon.

With those words beast jumps out of sight, and you can feel that its aliance with you somehow weakens. You are still in the control, that`s for sure, but you are sure that your relationship with it suffers somehow.
On the other side, in the darkness of your shadow, Shade sneered in disgust.

Weak, poor servants of barely awakened cattle. Pets serving pets. This doesn`t make any sense...

@Navi: Excuse me as I gaze in awe at your work. This is excellent, thank you. There was no sarcasm in Fang's response. He was genuinely impressed and pleased by the map. It also gave him a fair bit of information on his situation. @Navi: If you can keep it updated, that would be wonderful.

@Bulldog: May not be in as much danger as initially theorised. Stay on guard though. If Herr Nick was taken out... He didn't need to complete the statement, Bulldog probably already knew the security issues if one of them was compromised.

I'll have to keep an eye on this map though so I'll know which nodes to hit in the event of trouble. Still, having the locations of my time in relation to this will be help... ful... Locations. I'm an idiot. Fang quickly accessed the last communication received from Nick's commlink. It'll be out-of-date, but hopefully the node's last known location will appear. Keeping an eye on the telemetry map, the changeling carefully went over the log of communications from slaved nodes, looking for the last packet from Nick's commlink.

[Sichr]

@Fang: GPS coordinates for last known slaved AcessID[Nick] points to the building on the corner of 3rd St NW and A St NW, northwest from Auburn General Hospital.

http://shadowrun.chinagreenelvis.com/map/index.html

From what you recall, the place is about 10 store appartements building for those used to middle and higher class accomodation. Built in in the same time as Auburn Junction urban renewal project, this building is located near Auburn general hospital and offers quite comfortable living to those who can afford it. Since the Auburn Junction is pretty close, estate owner invested fair ammount of nuyens to keep that place safe and secure.

@Everyone: FYI: Loft is located near Casey`s bar, down the SE Lake Moneysmith road and first right, at the end of the 164th Ave SE

[MaxKojote]

@Bulldog: Herr Nick's last known location before I was dumped was a building on the corner of 3rd St NW and A St NW. Middle to high class accommodation. Can't get any more precise than that from this information.  If Herr Nick was attacked, the area might be jammed as well. Orders?

He wouldn't be able to do anything if the area was jammed. At least not from his current location. They'd need to take a look on-site. Waiting for orders from the ork, Fang continued watching the telemetric map that Navi was updating.

Nick quickly moves down the stairwell.

Then starts to run...

@Nick: As you sneak of the mezzanine to run down to stairs you hear the two guys talking to each other:

Homolka: Fuck. I cant hear a thing with this bitch shouting around.
Hrubes: Yeah, Homolka.  And the motherfucker nowhere to be seen.
Homolka: Shiiiiiiit. He was supposed to be here. Call the Kukac.
Hrubes: Hey, Kukac. You`r full of shit man. Target fucking disappeared. How the fuck we are supposed to find him now. You told us he would be here....
WHAT???
EMERGENCY EXIT TO STAIRWELL!!!
Homolka: Why the hell it has to be always like this! RUN!



...Clatter

Distance 10 + 25=25 meters

Seems like you get a little advantage from the start. You run down and pass another mezzanine. As you start another stairs down, you hear doors crashing upstairs.
