"you can't," Sylvia said, "if you kill it or dismiss a spirit, the summoner will feel it.  He won't know what happened, but he will feel that the spirit is gone.  Fortunately, if I recall correctly, as soon as a spirit goes outside of line of sight of the mage, he can't do much more then the task given to him.  But this is an apartment building with people in it who might have visitors, so I think astral assistance will be limited to the apartment itself.  Otherwise it will start warning for every person coming into the corridor, or worse, attacking them.  I don't think that will last a long time before people started using their panicbuttons to report aggressive spirit activity."

@All: At the very least, we'll need to incapacitate the corp hacker. Otherwise, even without control of the system, he can still send out an alert. And I can't just sneak in to an isolated system, the only access point will probably be in the control room. He shrugged. @All: Knock him out. Tie him up, make sure there's no way for him to contact anyone. Does anyone have a headjammer?

[farothel]

"No, but I have neurostun and lael," Sylvia said, "that should be enough to keep him asleep for some time."

[Sichr]

You are right Sylvia, well I dont need to be operating my commlink while inside, it would be enought if I am  just there and Fang uses my commlink as bridge.
As Brian follows..
well this is also right...remember when I meet those guys for the first time I was suddenly cut out of signal, by whatever means they use. And if I remember this right, those two thugs were asking their assistant for directions, and he points them to me using cameras on stairway. Hell this is ugly setting...I bet those back doors will aslo be protected somehow, nobody leaves glaring holes like this...only as as a trap. Are you able to waltz in through there with spider still on duty?
Nick analyzes the situation, using something from his diagnostic skills trained by his medical career.
I wonder if there was real estate spider on duty when he was tracking me. Guards I met on my escape seemed to be completely oblivious of me being the target. Molotob had to have his own support present.

"Nick, do you know if the building has a seperate generator, even if it's only an emergency one," Sylvia suddenly asked.

[Sichr]

Hm...nope? I dont recall any outages but I cannot confirm this.

[Ren]

As Molotob's name left Nick's mouth, Bulldog just remembered something. It might be a long shot, but worth a try, so he sent another message Kevin, marked urgent. >>Man, sorry to bother you again at this hour, but i got some new info. You said to check back with you if someone more remarkable popped up besides those black ops guys. Well, there's this guy [attached picture, cut from the comm trid feed], some Dr. Molotob, allegedly a researcher, and magical talent. Know anything about him? Word for the wise: be extra careful if you have to ask others, this is one extremely mean bastard. And the same corp as i mentioned before.<<

He then got back to the others. "Well, i seriously doubt they had a home spider in the system besides the one helping out those two goons. These are the guys that made KE reroute traffic around the area to make looking for you easier. I think they might have posed as official law-enforcement to building security and completely took over." He thought for a moment. "And Nick is right, of course. Waltzing in under the eyes of a watchful spider might not be healthy. Fang, is there some possibility of using Nick's hardware as he approaches the building to get some access? I doubt the panicbutton signals are hardwired, there has to be some signal going in and out of there. Or as he says, he has regular access, as a guest, can't you use that to get a hold of the system from afar?" Drek, drones outside, spider inside... i hate when things get this complicated. Just for a moment, Bulldog missed the simplicity of the real jungle.

[Sichr]

As for the traffic rerouting...they possibly didn`t needed KE. Grid is MCT asset, so its thei own turf.

[MaxKojote]

@All: As a guest he'd only have user access. However if he has his 'link broadcasting or at  least on, I can use it as a bridge as long as the system isn't purely hardwired; thank you for reminding me. As long as the system isn't heavily encrypted, then I will be able to get in. He paused. @All: However there is likely little to nothing I can do about PANICBUTTON, so you'll need to be careful. Depending on how things are, I may also need someone to guard my body while I'm doing this.

"First of all I need to have a look at that backdoor, to see what security there is like," Sylvia said, "Then we sneak in, deliver Fang at the spider desk and Nick goes in while we wait as close as possible.  Then we just need to find a way for Nick to let us know we are needed.  Any ideas?"

[Sichr]

T-20Min
Maybe it is time to turn the cars back then, so you can see for yourself?

[farothel]

"okay, let's go," Sylvia said, "we can plan untill we're all old, but no plan survives first contact with the enemy so improv is not a bad idea.  Nick, where to?"

[Ren]

Bulldog slowed down and turned at the next street, starting to roll back to where Nick’s mother lived. ”Judah, can you make us invisible? If we wanted to sneak in, that would make our job so much easier.”

[Sichr]

@Sylvia: [color=navy]Back the way we have just arrived. I think it would be better to park our vehicles outside the "no traffic" GRID zone.[/color]

@Brian: A few minutes after you sent your request to Kevin, you get your response. Datafile is heavily encrypted and obviously protected by virtual minefield, good that you know your private security routine.
Next time you send me this kind of data without any security measures, it would be the last time I hear of you, pal. Neverthless. That name rang the bell. In the past doctor was kind of star in certain circles, his metapsychiatric research was aiming at aural diagnosis and psychometry. After Renraku incident he was heavily involved in providing post-traumatic care, leading and coordinating a few research and assistance teams in refugee camps. After whole affair was dealth with, he continued on research of certain Deus`s victims post-traumatic state. I tell you a little secret...most of those researches were UCAS army sponsored, and he was one of our best in understanding otaku phenomena. Well...his methods were more and more out of box and since army his superiors weren`t ready to be linked to some Metamengele case, they gave him serious warning about the way he conducts his research. He took it as a signal to leave and, as investigations have shown, he paid for his own extraction. His research data and a few subject also disappeared overnight, rest of them being killed by VX released into laboratory vent system. As a target, he is one of the TOP on some lists, and some resources indicate whole extraction was financed and planned by MCT. Rumor is that he is connected to their infamous Project Rose Garden, whatever it is. If you are up to face this guy, be extremely carreful, he deals with some kind of dark arts. But if you are, by a chance, able to catch him alive, there is huge bounty if you can make it to the extraction point in one piece. And remember what I said earlier about these MCT blackops teams...

Judah ways his options and retorts, "Yes, but i feel you'll need some more muscle, that i can apply. I'll have the spirit of my ancestors take over my body to help you out better."
