Four-Eyes browsed the file over; another 'incident' involving runners and some beast of some kind. "So...what Henry? Couple of poor bastards gets done over by some Z'Bree thing, which seems to know how to handle the Matrix and the flow of information, at least good 'nough for you to be cautious on the grid. How does that affect us?...and how you learned about this..heh..'threat?' "Well," Henri admits relucantly "I'm not sure that it affects us yet. And I uuhh, picked up their trail after we pulled Kristina outa that vampire lair, when I was cleaning Micro and Shade's signature from the place." He gestures vaugely. "It's hard to explain to someone who can't see...you know, a mundane. Anyway, I asked a chummer of mine about them, he nearly drekked in his pants when I said the name but he asked around anyway. Story goes that these Z'bree have been skulking around since before the awakening, preying on people who don't have a strong sense of identity. Mostly addicts and homeless, but students sometimes fall into that group too." Henri looks at F-E to gauge his reaction to that bit of news before continuing. "Think about it, young kid away from home for real for the first time. Bound to take time for them to figure out who they really are and all that psychological drek. That aint all. Word is they prefer magicians, don’t know why. Normally I’d say there aint much chance of this being our problem, but we might be on their radar now an’ magically speaking, there was a lot of Chuck left in there. Could lead them to the kids.” Henri pauses to let that thought sink in. ”I’m gonna keep my chummer askin’ around if they’re still willing, but I’ve done all I can in the matrix without riskin’ getting pinged. We need a real deck-hound who knows how to cover their tracks.”

((I read somewhere and this makes sense to me. If you erases the astral side of something (like a sig) it's physical form becomes useless. IE wiping the sig from blood renders it useless for ID-ing someone. Same for hair and skin since this is the physical side of astral sgi's.))
((When joe smoe walks down the street he drops skin flakes and hair. It's this shedding of skin and hair that makes a astral trail to follow. Cleaning that trail will make those samples useless.))

If you can cleanse an area using a spell - or have enough time to scrub out various influences then I cant see why it shouldnt clean the physical as well - You can force spirits and spells out of the astral so why not other things too... as long as there is time.

OOC: I think Shade might be thinking of when you trash the astral component of a focus, it makes the physical thing into dead weight, but as long as a focus is live the sig stays in place. As far as i know blood & stuff doesn't carry an astral sig, which is where the sterilise spell comes in, sort of like magical bleach trashing dna & stuff that identifies it as coming from that person. I always saw the material link thing as using a kind of thread/string between two pieces of the same something to find the part you're after, sort of like using a chip of clay to find the rest of that antique vase it came from. I'm guessing you'd need a seperate spell for erasing non biological links between two items.

Rule#1
If it's alive, it have a astral sig.

Four-eyes listens to Henry talk about..something. To him, it sounded like some sort of evil free spirit. "Yeah well, it it didn't spot'em now, then we're still good to go I say. But yeah; might as well keep an eye out for those freaks. I'm not really inot shooting what I'm paid to protect y'know? If you need someone to dig into it, I know someone: got backing too, so she won't be alone in there in case something happens...Still wonder how a spirit monster can get on the Matrix, but better safe than sorry..."
He rubs his eyes; Every time there's something done, something new arrives; and it's always some off-shoot rare creature. He hoped this time they can get something alive and without the LoneStar blackout on it. "Just write down how you write that Z'Bree thing, and I'll get something done for research."

"Could be they do it the old fashioned way and pay Deckers, or maybe they can use their victim's memories. I heard of a few spirits that can do that, makes the fraggers hard to spot." He hands the pocsec back to F-E, pleased that his guess had been on the money. Assuming he hadn't just gotten F-E's decker contact geeked Henri might have use for their services in the near future. "I gotta head out, Bishop's doing a walk-past on the vampire hideout an' wants mage cover. I'd be interested in what you're chummer manages to find on those things."OOC: Sorry about Sunday Brad, I'll explain when I catch you online.
