@Shadow: My driving wasn't that bad  was it? The tone of his message indicated mild  amusement. @Shadow: But fine, I'll relinquish control to GridGuide. Probably the smart choice, unfortunately.

He withdrew his hands from the control display in the node, allowing it to vanish as he sent a command for the car to resume autopilot operations. With the GridGuide, the car would be fine unless anything bad popped up. Having ensured that was done, he allowed himself to sink back into AR, allowing his icon in Sylvia's node to become inactive. As he did so, he got a not so pleasant reminder of the damage his body had sustained in manipulating the Resonance.

"Ow..." He murmured quietly, sitting back up and holding his head with one furry hand. He looked at the other occupants in Bulldog's SUV. "How bad do I look?" He asked aloud, coughing slightly. HE could feel some dried blood on his muzzle, but little else currently, still settling back into his meat body.

@Shadow: Car's all yours.

@Max: Man oh man. Looks like you`ve had some harsh times dealing with this situation. Let me check you first, then we can discuss the news.

Ah...I see you`ve tried to patch yourself alone. Nice try, for the machine. At least it did not hurt you any more.


Log(7)+First Aid(5)+Medkit(6)-Conditions(Average, car with High Amenities, safe speed=-1)-Technomancer(2) (15d6.hits(5)=6, 15d6.hits(5)=2, 15d6.hits(5)=2)
 ???
Log(7)+First Aid(5)+Medkit(6)-Conditions(Average, car with High Amenities, safe speed=-1)-Technomancer(2) Edge re-roll 2x (15d6.hits(5)=5, 15d6.hits(5)=5)

Your special physiology and virtuakisesics makes this a bit difficult, well I think you should be OK now. With some luck, well I am sure at your debt, for you being able to react so quickly.

All of you. Thanks. I hope this was exception in this mission.


Nick looks he finaly gets his good mood back.

OK Time is UP!

Scene concluded.

Everyone replenishes 2 points of edge, one for taking each`s part in success, be that driving, knowledge-mining and coordination, dealing with matrix threats, providing brilliant distraction, greasing and infusing whole plan by magical means. Second point is for succeeding in this scene without wiolence.
Nick receives 1 more, because the fact he was able to escape the building left me in complete awe. That was...unexpected at least.
Now, the part is comming I would call...hm...

Beloved sons, beloved parents.

Nick packs the medkit and makes himself comfortable in the seating. Pulling out little silver flask from his pocket, he took a deep drink. Not even coughing he hides it back, then turns to others in the vehicle. Since every member is still on tacnet, everyone is able to hear and see clearly and attend to this meeting.

Like I said, I need to thank you for your quick response, and also I need to apology for the lack of precaution on this trip...well I didnt expect any troubles visiting my mother, obviously I was wrong.
He takes a pause.
I still wonder what those guys wanted from me.
Neverthless... whole affair was not for nothing. Mother let the drawing we found in the Hao`s notebook around some professional circles. It turns out it is not the Roscharch diagram, as I`ve considered it to be. No, this hypothesis leads nowhere. On the other side, She got almost instant feedback from one of her former coleagues. He was warning her of the grave danger connected to the drawing and also told her to move this topic out from the matrix. That was the reason she wanted me to visit her personaly, she wanted to warn me. She also told me that ths Dr. Molotob asked her to set up meeting with him ASAP, so we may be able to get some usefull intel from him. Just to be able to extrapolate, do we have any other leads?

"Except for the fact that the one who caused all that trouble is somewhere in Puyallup, not much," Sylvia said as her car drove itself, guided by GridGuide, "so I guess it's our best shot at the moment."

We have some contact there? I`ve never been to Puayllup...well except for sightseeing flight around Mt. Rainier once during the study. Not much to be seen, though, just geysirs, fires, lava and poisoned water.
hm. They call the place Hell`s Kitchen. Quite fits.
Otherwivse I know some charitable organizations offering internships in their centers in more populated areas, still, the place is a mess.

"I have no contact in Puyallup, but i believe Shadow has, and has already asked them to take a look around. Until we get an answer from them, our best shot might be this Molotob person." Bulldog was glad they could save Nick from his predicament, but didn't like where this case evolved, and this could be heard from his voice. "By the way, good job on getting out of that building ahead of those two. They are probably MCT Black Ops. And the company took an increasing interest in technomancers, so that might be their connection to our case."

MCT you say. Hm...Jacqueline has said that that doctor who wants to meet me works on some kind of MCT sponsored research. But why would they try to grab me when we are about to meet anyway? That doesn`t make any sense.

Nick looks out of the window confused, his analztical mind trying to find some pattern in this.

To the moment of silence, you suddenly hear beeping of incoming call. As none of your commlinks appear to be the source, you finaly find it to be one of commlinks you collected in Aurora. By the name this belonged to Harry Eastwood.

"Thank you Herr Doctor..." Fang murmured as Nick fixed him up. He relaxed in the seat, somewhat mentally  tired  from his efforts, but keeping an eye on  the TacNet. "Those drones were heavily souped up, also autonomous. I detected a touch of Resonance on them as well, so MCT is employing technomancy in this area as well. They were also doing facial recognition checks from what I could get." He trailed off as the commlink began beeping. He went through the ones he had picked up until he grabbed Eastwood's one.

"Ah... Wonderful. Does someone else want to take this? Please?" He resisted the urge to recoil from it. It'd be easier to focus on possibly tracing the call if he wasn't talking, if it became necessary. Which it probably will be. Those drones have me paranoid.

"Give it to me, Fang. And watch out for any 'trix attacks." Bulldog switched the Humvee to autopilot but kept his left hand on the wheel, just in case. With the right, he reached back for the beeping gadget. "Speak!" he barked into the comm when he took it.

Frag, i should've counted on this possibility. Bulldog didn't like to break the bad news to people, when they arrived from a mission, fewer than they set out, and he had a few of those. You could never get used to it, and even though this might be a complete stranger, his stomach churned. "Not really. Colleague of his." In a sense this was the truth. Bulldog considered Harry, a fellow shadowrunner, who worked on the same case previously, if not really a colleague, but a distant companion.
"Who's asking?" He also sent a quick text to Fang, simply willing it. >>Try to trace the call.<<

Me, I am asking. Tell Harry I got some intel for him so he should call me back.
The sharp end of the sentence gives Brian a clear sign he have to interupt thespeaker abruptly or the call would end.
From another point of view...as Fang have full acess to Westwoods commlink, he can access stored contacts and protcols anytime he wants.
