Peaches pauses, glancing back at the desk jockey. He jerks his thumb at Four-Eyes. "I'm wid' him." He makes eye contact with the human, grinding the bit of gum between his teeth. "We're here to visit a chummer. Dat okay wid' you?"

Going along with Angel to the alley Quick will assure her.
"Don't worry nothing is gonna touch your meat, I will keep an eye on you."
Quick gives here a wink and grins.
After Quick will switch to astral perception and see if there are any rats or other concerns in the alley then go see what Chuck was poking at.

Shade was close behind Four Eyes. Just not close enough to "bump" into him. When he sees another spirit enter he looks at it for a moment. "Fancy meeting you here Angle." Shade laughed. "As soon as he points out the right apartment I'll check it out, your welcome to join me, but let me go first.... just in case." Shade follows FE.

Angel follows after Shade in the astral plane. Once she catches up to him, she signals that they should split up, each taking half the building. She starts in a systematic method, working from one end to the other.
(OOC Wolflet say... You can talk together in astral, and to physical people too, it is not picked up on electronic surveillance as you are all mana no meat!

((Wolf, let me know if an intimidate roll is needed.))
(OOC Wolflet say.. No need for an intimidate - he accepts - now that youve given him an indication of what you are up to...
as you have a 'standard' reply and sound as if you know what you are doing, and theres only one of you, and you are probably on cctv, and you are not carrying anything huge and offensive, and he is a lot smaller than you, then it is OK !
Being confident does go a long way to bluffing your way through checkpoints.

With a little poking around by the astral searchers, and Four-Eyes and Peaches zeroing in on the apartment - Artie Nine's door is indicated..
Shade and Angel put their heads in through the side wall rather than the front door just being safe.. peering into the old office room which has been chopped up into a large bedsit...
main room, sofa, trid storage, carpets... side bedroom small galley and seperate shower/toilet
noone home, nothing of immediate concern.
You indicate the place is empty, and nip back in to complete an astral search. One problem is looking into drawers and boxes - there is darkness, so even though you are astral, you cant see inside things - so a pitch black room is still pitch black, unless it is on mother earth - who glows! (Like the inside of a tent at night)
so astral searchers need people to open up hidey-holes. You could skim through crete walls and find a space, but not know what is in there - so you are great at finding hidden compartments - but you cant check em out as they are still pitch black !
Or you cast detect spells on yourselves -
In this case, it wont take long to open the door, by force or expertise ? a medium maglok a strongish door (a big orc)
Inside is Artie Nine's personal belongings, that you begin to go through..
A quick search or a thorough one? What are you especially looking for?
The astrals immediatly indicate the old hairball in the shower and some throwaway sox in the resyk bin - an oldish, but still active physical link to Artie himself....

Peaches glances up and down the hallway to make sure the coast is clear, then slips his maglock passkey (a rather crappy one, but hopefully it will work) and inserts it ino the lock.
(The R1 passkey, I know, is crap, but it was equipment scavenged from a foe, so don't think that I bought it myself =P)

((I got a R4 passkey, if your won't work...and another thing; if Angel came in a car, why did Shade and Angel went to sit on a dumpster in an alley?..Must be a mage thing I suppose..and what's wrong with my English? "did" is in the past, so is "had"..besides, it's not my first language, compared to you D, so at least I go a good excuse..yet again, you're American, so you got a good one too hahahaha))
Seeing Peaches trying to open the door with a magkey with little success, Four-Eyes reached inside one of his pants pockets and produced his magkey "Here, try this one Peaches, 'should work better."

(OOC I'm waiting to let Wolf say what info I got from Zad the Elven gang hitman as to any info on the Angle and artie.)
(Wolflet say..
Good to see you Micro, Thunder.. cash always goes down well, specially when it's being handed over to me!
Angel you say, well there is a lot goin down with what was a gang of biker 'angels' old dudes - they started recruiting from outside the 'hood - bringin in a lot of quiet types - an yeah, hat thing about the fleshies like theyve cut off the skin - creepy..
They look to be tooling up - most carry spit-guns or uzis - but they are kept on a tight leash, no unprovoked fights.. they seem to just want to grow in numbers not turf, we have braced for a gang war anyway with that amount of new footsoldiers around, even if they are keepin themselves quiet, cant last for long...
Operate out of the Carwash - a three-up building a few blocks away, youll see more of them as you get closer, they keep up a street presence...
Hey Micro, come round anytime with more 'dead certs' - see ya!

Shade only gives the place a fair quick once over. His only worrie was harm causing spirits. Once he's sure nothing will jump out to kill his teammates he gives them the signal to come in. (("you did had" is improper grammar, even though I am American I know that much. Witch also a better excuse then you have. )) (OOC Wolflet say.. old UK TV show - Morcombe and Wise, their amusing line was .. 'here is the play what I wrote' should have been 'that I have written, or, which I wrote.. As for me, I care not a jot ! if it keeps the story flowing it has goodenance.

Angel takes note of the hidden spots, then gets back to her body as soon as possible. Once she does, she gets on her comm and tells the others about what they found. For the moment, she'd have to get down with some help.
(OOC Wolflet say.. You can 'manifest' in the room - tune your spirit into the physical, where it can be seen and heard by people but not by surveillance equipment.. so you can interract with the others easily to point out any places of interest that they can then open up and investigate...
Theres a covered space behind the room-glo wallfire seems about two breeze-blocks tall and one deep...
Four-Eyes finishes collecting mattted plughole hair into a handy plas-wrap
Shade points out the sox, quickly snaffled too.
The fire is checked - with many 'Spot' rolls from you all, any wire or snaptraps would be detected.. the fire is plucked from the wall, revealing a thin, painted, easily-removable sheet.
Once easily removed - the shallow hidey-hole behind shows a few tubs and wrapped objects, powders in the tubs - easily identified as required in ceremonies for a mage
The wrapped articles are bones, a biomed 3 will identify them as human - some seven forearm bones - gently radiating a background magic. Not active focii, but there is a strong link, stronger than the sox an hair, belonging to the same person..
If you want to do a more in-depth search you will need a lot of time itemising articles ....
Back in the alley, Angel wakes in time to hand out hard stares to Quick and Chuck who both seem interested in the rustling beasties in the rubbish

Couple of more leads you got.... Artie Nine's pad seems like a dead end to Peaches an Four-Eyes, but Shade an Angel seem chuffed with the crap you collected...
Micro an Thunder have a locate on the angels gang nearby, sounds like they got a lot of new muscle an street presence, though that means a bunch of you fighting through, or one or two negociating through... to chat nicely with whoever is in charge...
(Airstrikes dont work..)
Options people...?
Hey by the way - if you can persuade me with a valid reason, you can make yourself a contact in Puyallup... for free! contacts should be specific for a general set of biz... I will be mean with this.. no good reason, no contact. but if you know a guy who knows... then that is a reasonable link. get your reasons written up. Micro already has a talismonger/academic in Henry Winterman.. nice bribe! anyone wanting a contact who can supply 'anything at-all' will lose karma for the cheek of it. this sort of contact is a level 3 to L4 contact who owns a major company. so you can sod off! or you can take a contact who 'says' he can get anything... refer any purchace to me and I will fairly adjudicate it, cost, availability and your own noteriety too. it may cost you an arm and a leg. cyber replacements not included. and you await the delivery... still waiting...
New chapter shall be opening soon... Blood and Fire wonder what you may be getting into,,?

((Shade would have a lot of options open to him since this isn't his first in this part of town. For the most part though he's here for the same purpose he always is. He's digging into something. Those people at the bar would make nice snitch contacts. But thats as much as I can think of.))
With the job done Shade heads back to his body. "He better not think he's getting away with my 100 nuyen." Shade streches and hops down.
