"Shiiiit..." The quiet curse came across the team's channel, Fang wasn't bothering to censor his thoughts.
"Why the bloody hell are MCT so interested in this area? Those two drones are matrix powerhouses... And a Technomancer has been messing with them too... This could take some work." And hopefully I know just the sprite who might be willing to help me out... But first.He focused back in meatspace, his vision flicking over to the Augmented Reality that he saw normally as he reached into his pack and set up his medkit for remote usage. Not the best position for it, but the injuries he had sustained were becoming mildly distracting. Having finished the setup, he slipped back into the warmth of Virtual Reality, flitting over to his icon in the node of Shadow's car. He found his sprite at the controls and informed it that he would take over.
"I can handle this for now... I need you to go over and use [device:medkit] to help fix some of the damage I've recently sustained .If you could take care of that before you go, I'd be very grateful."Free Action: Switch Interface Mode

Simple Action: Issue Command
Complex Action: Remote Control.The sprite was slightly confused over the control system within the medkit, having no training in actual medicine. However the guide within the medkit's node was very forthcoming with information and quickly advised the poor sprite on how to treat a metahuman's body. It wasn't able to treat all the damage, but the vast majority was taken care of. Its final task complete, it retreated back into the Resonance, letting its link with Fang fall as it did so.

Fang felt both the distraction from his physical damage with some relief, and a bit of sadness as the Sprite departed. It was like saying goodbye to a friend. He knew he would see the sprite again, but it was still somewhat depressing. Nevertheless, he had a job to do, and he needed a Sprite's assistance, but not the one he had before. This would require a different kind altogether. While he steered the vehicle to park in the position requested, he prepared for his next goal.
His first task was to release his concentration on the Resonance strengthening his analytical capabilities. At the moment it was not really necessary, and he needed to be able to concentrate. Sustaining the Tactical Network was already a distraction. Sadly his first attempt failed as the sprite ignored his entreaties, giving him a flat refusal. He winced at the sharp stab of pain he felt from the force behind the refusal, noting he'd need to fix that later. His second attempt was mildly painful, but actually successful.

Fading MDV: 1SThe sprite took form beside him, it was Navi again, but looking more... Detailed. Stronger. Possibly with more Resonance channelled from his attempts. He smiled at the Sprite as he controlled the car.
"Hello again, Navi. I have a different set of tasks for you this time. Please remain on standby while I set things up."
