Wrench looked over at F-E. "I'm not much in the way of in-person surveillance. But I got a few drone that are damn hard to spot that might help out. If ya want, I'll tag along. If not, I got a few other things I can do." He shrugs, not really concerned either way.

((1K added...already had the 10K from the job.))
"Oh..well ok Wrench. We could use some drone support on this. Not to mention get some custom made electronics; a bit better than buying it. I guess you can stay closer to the Commute while controlling the drones too."
---------------------------------------------------------
"Bishop, I could be able to get you some security stuff...Shotgun mike..some microphones, even a couple of micro-cameras too. Of course..keep in mind you still owe me 5200 Nuyen for that gear I got you. I need an hour. Meg, just hold on before leaving there; I want to be present, kinda wanna work the confidence bid with Bean and his cousin. I figured that Tranq could either come with us, or help bishop with that stalking; That tail of hers must be good to climb or something. 'Course..if you're willing to put the mikes and such on corp budget well, I might be able to score something better than off-the-shelf equipment."
"Oh, Bishop, let me put the bugs in the room, I just need a few seconds; might not be at the best of places, but it will be out of the way, at least until a full sweep. Or..well, where would you put it?"
-----------------------------------------------------
He took the road South, checking for a tail; After Henry's stunt, he was nervous; All it took was less than a day, and bam, his real ID, his fake, at least it oddly enough was limited to some information; digging deeper, he could have found out more than Four-Eyes was willing to share.
HE made a stop to Anderson's; the Dwarf wasn't present, but Luis was; He took a shotgun mike, some bugs in the back store and a few micro cameras; according to the sales pitch, they were good to transmit up to 2 kilometers, which means 6-700 meters in normal, city landscape. If they were in an open field, with anything blocks the wave's path, then maybe it would be good. Maybe.
He wrote his things on his employee purchase list; a another big bill for 17 grands....bishop better pay, or Meg...Yet again he could 'prolly return an item or two within a few days. Just had to be careful of Mr. Anderson.

(OOC Micro did put 1k from his 5k into group funds to help by equipment for the team not sure what our group funds are at now. I know 1k won't cover the cost of the bugs and mics but just letting Four Eyes know there is now 1k in the group treasury)
Micro is planing on coming along for the next meet with the client so he can aura read the lady to see if he can get any new info for the group. Before the group leaves Micro says to Four Eyes You should bring a Mage this time to scan the client and the room astrally, the entity or what ever it is that is attacking her may have left an imprint on the astral realm. I'll go with you just let me know when we leave.

Good afternoon CHristina - your health has been brought to our attention by your cousin Jimmy - he is concerned
concerned for his own welfare maybe - all he brings is fools and charlatons with their floor-sweepings. He cannot stop it - I have seen my future - now leave me!
maybe you should look a little closer at what we have brought at your request
Meg puts the shakers and dusts on the floor of Kristinas room - they are in two wire six-pak wine-carriers she then folds her arms displaying the entwined snakes twisting from wrist to elbow.. the mages would know that as soon as the girl checked out the ritual materials then Meg's display of the weopan focus would be immediatly seen in astral too.. a 'flashy display'
From what Jimmy had said - He had not had any luck in tracing down real magics - unusual for Chinatown - where belief ran very strong in the other worlds.. and plenty of practitioners in obscure arts plied their trades
I have read about but never met a Wuxing Monk - I am honoured.. There is a lot I would like to ask you however there are more pressing matters - If we are to help then we must know..
you may ask one question each on any subject - I am pleased that my cousin has been successful in his search
On the floor the two wire carriers begin to shift very gently - you can all see tiny 'mandarin' clothed ... sprites? pushing the carriers
stop - these will remain ! - they remove unwanted items from my surroundings - I value my privacy, my helpers uncover objects as well as helping to protect me
Ask away
I can see that you are in poor health - do you know what is causing this?
no - though I suspect that magic plays a large part - your question has been answered.. next!
She stands wearing a large heavy Chinese robe - it is not obvious that she is sickly - though she does look tired and drawn.. Bishop anf F-E consider the micro cams they were about to discreetly locate around the room and think again after seeing the tiny sprites attempting to remove the carriers- how well would the things have to be hidden to remain undetected ?
seems that you are about to play 20 questions - but there are only a few of you.. who's next?

When Micro walks into the room with the client the first thing he does is tell Silverwing to head outside and let him know if anything out of the ordinary approaches. Then Micro shifts his view to the astral to try and get a read of the clients aura and if there is any auras that stand out in the room. Micro will keep reading the auras of the room and the client for the whole duration of the visit since he figures that is his main mission on this visit.
Percetion (INT) 6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Aura Reading 4 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Well viewing in astral Micro keeps an ear on the conversation, and decides to ask a question. I know she said she for saw her future and I'd like to know what she saw, since I would like to see if there are anything that wasn't in the vision that would give us a loop hole in the way the out come turns out but first I want to know something else first. Micro thinks as he decides on his first question. Christina I was wondering if there is a time of day that you feel worse like in the morning, afternoon, at night, after you eat or any other time? Micro is trying to see if it is an attack if it could be happening well she sleeps, that is assuming it is an attack and not back lash to mystical herbs a spell gone wrong but it does seem more like it is being done to Christina and not because of her own actions.
rule of 6 [dice=6][rand=824915106133006129862217251034584678475264230588930292862557750466]

Bishop walks over to the side, appearing to inspect an article of interest in an attempt to disguise the act of turning his back on Christina. He tilts his head back, scratching his neck and thumbing his throat mic at the same time.
"Bugs will do us no favours if those sprites find them - we'll have to ask permission."
He listened as the subject relayed her demands and her conditions, the members of the group quickly firing their questions at her, noting with frustration that Micro had wasted his with a question that had already been covered at a previous meeting.
"Don't waste your time with closed or leading questions," He mumbled into his mic as he recalled his basic training "Stick to the big three: Tell, Explain, Describe."

(OOC OH I never realized we only have one question if that is the case Micro will want to know what Christina saw in her vision. If Wolf lets me I'll ask that instead. I should make sure to read more carefully since it does state we only get one question. OPPS)

(OOC she has said you may ask one question each on any subject.. - depends on who is there and wants to ask.. Micro can ask again - probably shocked at the astral sig he is getting from her ) she is in a bad way - for a mage she seems like a burnout - youve seen the sort before - a reliance on cyberware is the usual thing - too many implants and the spirit gets weakened drastically.. she is on her way to becoming a cyberzombie -
However there is no cyberware clogging her aura
You recon she could cast cantrips but not much more without beconming dangerous to her health.
Physically too she is weak - she is registering as exhausted - the stim phials and the sugar booster wraps are a dead giveaway .. sort of thing junkies exist on..
Bishop scours the room wakling quietly past the windows checking the locks - one of the four has seen recent use withthe alliminium snick still with shiny scratches.. the others are all dull and a little dusty.. if she is in here all of the time then the window is opened regularly.
I have looked at my threads - the overtheme is 'Death' The object is 'Magic' The method is 'The Veil' The past is 'The Knight' and the future is 'The Cup' ... next!
Grr Micro gnaws his teeth.. flamin predictions most people would read into them what they wanted to - they were never straightforward remembering from college death was one of a number of things - an ending or a new beginning rather than someone being killed, usually.. Magic could easily represent her The veil - something hidden the knight - an important person and the cup covered a great variety of meanings - celebration poison sharing ..
she was still struggling to make some kind of holdout because she wanted the magical parephenalia.. so she wasnt dispairing... but she was in bad shape.
She had also indicated that she would be left alone - could she be helped with anything though?

Henri pushed the button and activated his comm unit "Role call, who's left on site?" When the responses come in he isn't best pleased. The only mages left at the commute were Shade and him, meaning a quick trip to his apartment was out of the question. If the place came under magical assault Shade would probably need help. He thought back to the fight with the Wasp shaman in the cave and how Angel's lack of action had forced him to bite off more than he could chew. Definitely best if he stuck around for now.
For the time being, Henri contented himself with checking on the students then performing an astral patrol of the place.

Wrench sat safely ensconced in his van. He'd sent F-E his two little fly-spy drones. He wasn't that useful being on-site but he could do the observation stuff just fine. Between the minidrones and the surveillance drone doing passes outside, he was covering what he could. He didn't know much about the magic angle but the physical he could handle just fine.
While he sat there, he fiddled with some electronics. Picking up the parts and building it himself was just easier. And given he had the time sitting here, he might as well get some stuff done. With him still on-site, they were still fairly well protected with the others off questioning. As he worked, he listened over the comms to the off-site group as they handled the questions.
@@I'm still on site but monitoring you lot through drones and comms. Wha'dya need?@@

Micro thinks to himself after hearing of the way she for told the future. Well I was at first thinking she was and initiate like myself and used Meta Magic to tell the future, even that method wouldn't be exact maybe I'll ask her. Micro decides to fire another question at Christina. I was wondering if you have ever been initiated into higher magic Meta Magic and if so what skills have you acquired if you have?
Micro starts to run down some ideas on how Christina could have been burnt out from her magic. The first one to jump to mind with all this vampire talk it having your ability sucked out of you by a paranormal creature. Flashes of Micros battle with the Wrath pop in and out of Micros Mind. Great another magic eater. Second she could be using drugs that will eat away a mages magic if a mage gets hooked or stims. I doubt that but you never know some drugs will give a mage a boost then burn you out. Third she could have been in an damaging accent and had damaged her body enouph to have drained her. Micro keeps on astrally observing her and her surroundings looking to see if there are any traces of any astral being being here other then her cleaning crew and Christina. I best keep looking to see if I can get a view of an astral intruder since that is the angle I'm betting on right now.
