Omar uses Command to operate his new Dalmatian, setting its target location on Three kings territory. As drone takes off the safehouses roof, Omar streams video from its sensors to the team. Drone will stay on 200-300 m flight level, doing wide circless, scanning the area.

[Sentinemodo]

Omar speaks once the team is safely seated in the van and he is driving away from this place. For temporarily lack of purposefull target he sets the address he got from that girl...Aurora Warens...

It seems, that both address are pretty close - just 2 km from each other.

I've attached the map, but it's fairly unreadable on the street names level. I can send the file via email if you need.

First of all, Fractal is using Erik Fjordson commlink and set of programs for this search.
Searching for information on the Fronts: 2 (Data Search) + 5 (Browse) + 2 (Hot Sim VR) = 9 dice = 5 hits, no glitch

fifteen minutes search revealed what you you already know, but can be summarized into:
Fronts is a  huge gang in UCAS and CAS — they’ve got a dozen chapters, most of them operate out of the Warrens. Their leader is Amy Steur. She's been leading them for about a year now.

He then Called Miguel Sanchez for a chat, and in the middle dropped the name of the gang Fronts, after that the conversation took a more serious turn, at the ed Sam promised to do some more runs for him next week.

Sam learned additional bit - Fronts are making lots of deals with Mafia since Steur has taken charge - the dabble in almost everything from smuggling to drugs, chips and protection.

[Sentinemodo]

Fractal concentrate for a while, paying attention to his less used senses (specially the one he acquired after SURGE).

Once in the van and Mouse can go full VR, he will scan for any bugs that may have been placed.

No bugs that you could find.

What kind of Russian translating software can I purchase/hack?

russian lingua soft rating 1 would be enough (500x rating) - available up to rating 3 immediately., higher ratings, on request may take a little longer)

You need to score 8 hits on extended test.
Logic + Electronic Warfare(8, 10 minutes) Extended Test to clear the signal from the noises.
And you need Software + Lingua soft rating(2) to understand once cleared enough to put under transmission. On failure on the second test, you need to clear the signal further (another 8 hits), after that translation would be automatic.

Drone on it's way - you have half an hour trip to reach destination using the van. Drone will be there in fifteen minutes.

[Netzgeist]

Fractal straightens up and look at the others: "Nothing new in the Fronts. Just got a name, Amy Steur. She's been their leader for a year now."

"These Fronts guys seem to have a lot of loose alliances with smaller gangs, which are considered to be part of them. What happened with these Three Kings guys is that they become a little more than a small fish, and resolved to answer only to themselves. Still, they did not leave in bad terms with the Fronts, as far as my search go..."

He massage his own neck a little. "Look, guys, it's the second time this Maria name came around. Is there something there that I don't know about and you'd like to share?"

[Kouryuu]

He massage his own neck a little. "Look, guys, it's the second time this Maria name came around. Is there something there that I don't know about and you'd like to share?"

Sam saw confusion in Fractals face, so he tried to clear it up.
"She is someone we had a run-in at the Vory Warehouse, seemed a bit in trouble with them or some one else and asked for help, we will meet her soon, more i do not know myself, so we are in the dark what exactly is going on, just trying to connect the dots, and She lives in the 3Kings area as well so it on the way."

[Sichr]

Omar listens to his mates, and he shakes his head in disagreement.
No Fractal. The bitch didnt looked like she is "a little bit in trouble". She looked like she is complete load of shit comming down the way. Also this occurrence...her living in this 3K`s area...seems suspicious to me. Well Sam said we are going to help her...or at least take care a bit, so I give him a ride. In fact. Im a bit currious on what the fuck she is up to. she pinged us, maybe we can begin with her link, this would be done before we got there. What do you say, kid?

He looked at mouse, who seemed to be occupied with some secret work of his...

Dalmatian feed info:

Aerial is almost at the place, we may get details on local situation every minute.


Fractal...you say 3K`s gone idependent with Fronts? In mutual respect? So who killed their leader, because Vor said they had been beheaded recently and that is why they may be willing to cooperate.

I'll stop maintaining the Scan complex form.
I'll purchase a R3 Russian Linguasoft (1500) because I am in a hurry.
Logic(5)+EW(4)+2TM = 11d6.hits(5)=2 +
11d6.hits(5)=3 + 11d6.hits(5)=6
Soft(4)+LingSoft(3)=7d6.hits(5)=3

Working feverishly Mouse attempts to filter and mix the two the recordings into something meaningful. It was a little rough going as the language made it difficult in triangulating the noise from conversation, but Mouse began to pick up on it quickly. In the time it took to drive from the warehouse to the meet with Maria, the team had the argument that the Russians had made at the warehouse.@Team: got it! <ARO: translated Russian argument audio from the warehouse>

His concentration was so focused, he thought he heard Unca Omar say something about Maria and a hack. We must be getting close. Using GPS and tracking our location, yep just in the nick of time.
His next step was to add dice to his exploit:
Soft(4)+Res(5)+2TM=12d6.hits(5)=7
I rolled an extra die by accident, but the number of successes is sufficient for what I want to do if I subtract one success. Keeping 5 success to add to exploit (it took me two rolls.)
Fading 5P = 10d6.hits(5)=3 so I take 2P and my exploit CF is 10.
Mouse's nose starts bleeding again.

@Ryker: Uh...Unca Ryker, would you mind taking care of my nose bleed, please???

[JDA]

I looks at the kids nose, we'll I guess I could lend you a hand their and will cast a heal spell. Will roll in a bit when in get to a desk top.

Fractal...you say 3K`s gone idependent with Fronts? In mutual respect? So who killed their leader, because Vor said they had been beheaded recently and that is why they may be willing to cooperate.

"That's, my friend, is the important question. Who killed their leader? And do they know who?" Fractal grins. "You got it? That's an information that, if they don't know yet, we can manipulate to our advantage. In my opinion, our top priority should be discovering how much do they know."

[Sichr]

Well, maybe this bitch, Maria, would be at least a bit streetwise and tell us, she lives almost on their turf. And about an infiltration...well, Sam, this time I was thinking about social infitration...or we can take one of them and ask him nicely in some basement...

[Kouryuu]

"Ryker while we are still at the Information gathering theme, could i ask of you a quick astral look at their turf, and HQ, if there are magically active persons spirits so on. We would really appreciate this."

well, Sam, this time I was thinking about social infitration...or we can take one of them and ask him nicely in some basement...

Sam turned to Omar
"You really think i am all about blowing things up while sitting in the shadow? Then i must inform you, dear sir, my first and foremost specialty is disguises and the use of them and when have i let you doubt my Social capabilities?"    a grin is clearly visible in Sam's Face, mos likely he does not want to hide it "this time by infiltration i means getting inside the gang, becoming part of them and be the man on the inside who gives the right ideas to the group when fractal speaks. that would be a big help right,?
of course if they still recruit." 

[Sichr]

Now sir, I feel really sorry for underestimating your abilities. It would be my pleasure to cover your back in such attempt, if you somehow managed to step on someones toe. And Ill be ready to take you out of there if you decide to blow something while sitting in the shadow. But at this very moment, it is time to put your underwear over your clotching, and in the act of pure Heroism, pay a visit to your Lady-in-trouble.
states Omar as he parks the van in front of given building.
Gentlemen, I don`t want to ruin your negotiations with woman, so Ill follow you just with my dog, for instance firepower is needed.
He opens the doors and sets Fly-spy free to make a brief recon, running Scan to find whatever nodes are there within mutual range. Hopes that Mouse managed to get into her link.
