So to say, the more things go south, the more we are screwed. Really nice.

[Sichr]

OK. At least drones may continue before we got the info in flora, so Ill set the checkpoint on the crossroad. D1 moves there, using that stealth ability Mouse gave it. once there, Omar jumps in to take look around. Dobbey standy and watches perimeter, once D1 gets the info, Dobbey moves to the crossroad and covers perrimeter with LMG. D1 will then continue, depending on findings. FlySpy is a few meters up ahead D1, trying to locate possible dangers. Omar is jumped in it...

"So to say, yes.

Fractal or Sam, can your technic gear give us some intel about the tunnels? Direction, Length etc.

[Sichr]

We will have an info as soon as D1 gets there. At least radar images and telemetry. I expect the same problem as you have with mojo in electromagnetic field also, because there is no trace of chineese transmissions, and that means they are really far away or cut off.

[Sentinemodo]

At the junction, you found out and RFID on the western wall of the tunnel leading north.
Without Beaver spotlight, your vision distance is much reduced, and the tunnel much longer and wider here.

Whoever is searching for anything on the fungus by the picture, make a DataSearch (12, 1 minute) limited extended roll - the dicepool is modifed by -3 for the information is both obscure and specialized (unless you happen to have parabotany skill, which you don't) 

[Larzarus]

@team: "If you don't mind, I send Mr. Bob another report.

"Greetings Mr. Johnson, we swiftly followed the RFID tags to the last point of communication with the first team. We descended a approximately 16m deep water well and found new RFID tags for direction. - No new bodies, so far. Hence, the first team seems to have survived at least the descent.
We furthermore found a huge amount of fungi down here [Photo attached]. You may consult a biologist to provide us with some intel about it."

Lips first send it to his team members, before he send it up to Mr. Bob, if no one disagree with the message.

[Netzgeist]

Fractal takes a picture of the fungus with his commlink, and proceeds to message his teammates: @Lips: "I think the report is fine, and asking about the fungus was a good think also. My anly addendum would be to say that further reports may come late, since we are starting to lose signal down here."

@Omar: "Will try, but I will not be so proficient as that time; I search better when on full Virtual Reality, and I don't feel safe enough here to rely on it; also the subject is a strange one, and probably I will spend a good time filtering through bullshit that on a more "normal" subject I could simply discard right away. The only thing is that we may not move while I search, since the signal here is becoming erratic."

Quite true, not only in VR Fractal brain got that special kick in which turns him better at everything he thinks, but also he is disconnected from the actual reality that tends to overflow him with addictional information - Fractal is already one to disperse easily, and being in an unknow place does not help. But he would not drop into VR to search, by any chance.

2 (Data Search) + 4 (Browse Program) - 3 (obscure information) = 3 dice (1 minute each attempt)
Dropping one dice per attempt, even if every dice would turn into a hit, I would still have only 6 hits; so, it's a failure.

After three minutes, Fractal focus again on his surroundings: "Sorry, mates, I couldn't find anything useful."

[Sichr]

Ok. We will have to take the risk. I left Fjordsons commlink on the beaver so untill now we have quite strong signal here, well possibly later we will run out of retrans stations. I hope we will find them soon enought before this happens.
By the way.
Fractal. You have missed one run after RMD. We have been cooperating with Casquilho mafia. I have this commcode, Miguel, who is working with Koshari also. Given those informations Mouse found, would you like to try to talk to him about that smuggler who runs her operations down here? Maybe we can get some info from her, and maybe she knows more what happened and we may offer her solution that will make wuxing avoid further explorations in this parts.

[Sentinemodo]

I see. I'll have that photo checked. We also confirmed that the body was indeed one of ours, DNA confirmed it was Shen Feng.

[Larzarus]

I might suggest that we procide further, at least as far as the communication with the world above allows it.

Without the Beaver as protection, Lips makes himself ready to walk in the rear, next to Omar, as before in the upper sewer level.

[Sentinemodo]

The order of walking as I understand it.

[Kouryuu]

With new determination to Sam gets behind the drones and activates his radar, stealth his constant companion always the shadow he keeps himself between the drone and his fellow team member.

[Sentinemodo]

The RFID at the junction reads "21:21". You immediately sense another RFID to the north some hundred meter away.
Fractal senses, report that the northern corridor splits at the point of RFID (ie. some hundreds meter away) going in the original direction and then turning west to end sharply., while the splitting corridor go east. The southern corridor makes a circular turn to the east also, but you're lost on how does it end.

The stream of water flowing out from the tunnel you cam in flows south.

[Larzarus]

On their weay north, Lips use the time to quickly extend his map of the second level:



When the team arrived at the north junction (next to the RFID 21:??), Lips ask for a minute to scout ahead east in the astral space. Giving anybody who wants some time to check the dead end in the tunnel north of them.

"Can you tell me a little bit more about this Miguel before I make the call? What are his activities, and how is exactly his relationship with the Koshari? I can get better information from people when I can turn giving me an info into something they want to do."

Fractal see no problem in calling the guy, but he does not want to do it unprepared. Also, he would really enjoy checking the dead end nearby while Omar clarifies him about who is this Miguel. Tasers once again in hands, he goes that way, cautiously walking.
