<c>"Shade here, and Chuck I do know a guy that does diktoe." I was still sitting on my rolled up sleeping bag in the forge building working databases over for vampire style deaths.

She looks at Micro - you feel that you have already asked one question and are overstepping the bounds of polite interraction. There are a few others there who have not yet enquired...
Henri - There is a big mist spirit patrolling outside in the flower racking which Meg called up - you cannot pass through the lodge wardings which cover the main building - so you would have to project from the attached front office... If you wish you can (both?) get over to Chinatown and ask a question.. Benny remains onsite, the bots are up and running and theres a chunky spirit outside. The kids are still crushing and distilling. There is a distinct fishy aroma from the place. Looking around the students brought back a lot of fish sea creatures and loads of shells gathered from the estuary
(OOC CHuck could use a gas vent IV reduces 4 pts of recoil costs a measily 1000 and increases the bulk and weight by nearly double.. you would need to get someone to fit it - heavy weaponry build and Repair skill. or learn how to fit it yourself.. they dont fit them to LMGs in Weapons World as mil-spec is illegal. Though they may know a friend of a friend...)

"Yeah I'm here..still at Jimmy Bean's place with the others.."
Four-Eyes still observed and listened; Those little clay things were a good idea, just bad for them; Oh well, he figured if he can't get Meg to pay for the electronics, he could just returned them at Anderson's.
He had to ask Meg about that Wuxing Monk thing...or maybe make some research on his side..'been a while since he saw Lianna at any rate.
"Well Bish, she doesn't know what's causing her loss of health; 'least according to the 'answer' she gave Meg. So I guess she's barely less in the dark than us, only 'cause she's the victim...'Pretty limited space to move there.."
"You pulled cards and saw a few, which you named. but I,m not familiar with card reading. What's the significance of it, what will happen in your future?"

OOC: Prolly best if Henri doesn't head over there to question her. He's being paid to provide security for the kids and doesn't know about the conversation with her. I can't think of any good reason for him to just show up out of the blue.

My interperatation of the reading is that there is a powerful individual who is working from undercover who wants me.. the 'cup' could represent a number of outcomes - though I percieve it to be a marraige cup - a bonding. I am not aware of anyone who wants me to work for them or to emotionally engage.. Death is a cessation of a current situation - my physical death seems remote as the cup indicates a joining..
Micro was right - readings were fine with hindsight where all of the items could be tagged and identified.. leaving them currently none the wiser.. though Bishop's search had revealed the window ... when asked about the security of the room... I do not leave the rooms as far as possible - I do not like to venture outside.. I have no reason to open my rooms to the smog filled air outside and yes I like to keep my doors locked which I shall tonight. You are not welcome to remain here after this meeting - I wish to remain alone and prepare myself. But you have my thanks for the accoutriments...
What next people?

Bishop pointed to the window - "Micro, take a look at that window but be careful not to touch it. I'd like to get some gear back here and check for prints, impressions or other signs that this window has been used as a point of entry."
Having waited for the others to ask their questions, Bishop turned and finally addressed the woman.
"Tell me about the beginning," He said, looking at her intently. "Take me back to when these attacks first took place."
He already had the information he would need for tonight - someone was opening the window on a regular basis and it wasn't the subject. Bishop's night would be spent watching that opening for any signs of activity; better stock up on fast food...

Micro listens to Christina's answer to Four Eyes question on hearing her mention the marriage cup his first thoughts are of Christina and Jim Beans organization here joining up with Meg's Company for mutual benefits. The Death could be the change of Christina's life right now into something else with this joining, but these are just Micros impressions from the cards he gets and he hasn't learned any Divination Meta Magic to help make his observation any clearer.
Micro hears Bishop ask for a viewing of the window for info so Micro turns all his attention to the window for the rest of there interview still keeping an ear open for anything that will help piece together this tragedy.
Astral Viewing (INT) 6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Aura Read 4 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
RO6 [dice=6]
Micro gives the info to the group over his subvocal mic along with his info from his viewing of Christina SVOn my first viewing I saw Christina is losing Magic as if she has cyberware in her it looks like she is on the way to burning out as us mages put it the window so far shows....(Input WOLF Here).... I'll keep looking to see if anything else stands out before the meet is over. [rand=29003740145704896248805691770045573994953317385923878929741996502]

"We..could give her a commlink..change the frequency of course, but at least if she needs something, she can reach us directly." He though for a moment about the interpretation..maybe it meant the new possible relationship that they were trying to form...or simply some Vampire Overlord lookin for a blood-suckin' spell slingin' Asian at it's side..
"If you would..we could leave you with one of our commlink; I'm sure your cousin could help you, but as you see, we have a little more..experience with magical affairs. Reaching us for anything would be a breeze, not to mention a time saver rather than asking your cousin to call us and so on."

Micro adds a comment over the sub vocal mic. SVI'd love to have a strike team near by for a night or two with atleast 1 mage with the group, if Wrench would let us use his van as a base or even a place in this building where we could get to Christina quickly that would be great. Just a thought any ideas? Micro suggests this to the group because even with the Comm Link Christina my not know that she is being attacked since there is no evidence that she has been awake when they happen which means we should have an astral eye on her room to see what comes to pay a visit tonight.
Atleast with Silverwing who doesn't have to leave astral space to make sure she doesn't die from be out too much that should help with keep an eye on astral happenings. I still think a Mage on the astral plane popping in and out of there body to keep there selves alive but still giving extra eyes is a good plan too.

In answer to Bishop's question - an it is a biggie..!
Six weeks ago I noticed that I was feeling weaker and took the doctor's advice - however three weeks ago I could tell that something was wrong with my magics. I told Jimmy to search out magical help - but I am afraid that he had drawn a blank up untill now.
One of the jobs I perform is personal readings - which I have recently stopped due to my ill health.. and I am sure that Jimmy checks these people out - he has a very well informed staff. If there were any who he suspected and could link then I am sure that they would be persuaded to stop immediatly.
Jimmy will have a list of clients who I have had contact with over the last two months..
There is no incident that I can recall which has led to my condition and I grow weaker and have so far been unable to remedy this.
My routine has not changed for the last two months - as I have said I value my privacy. There is little more I can tell you. I pray to the Gods perform standard rituals which I have been doing for years - eat lightly, sleep little and dwell on my own predictions.
Bean tells you Kristina has been reading for many years - businessmen consult her before ventures and couples consult regarding their futures. Kristina is well known in the community. I have checked all of the clients for the last three month - those who raised any suspicion, I have checked and have tailed a few. There are three I have under surveillance at the moment Kristina has confirmed after their consultation that they are not mages - ruling them out for any magical influence.
Personally I suspect demons. the doctors cannot find any virus or bioscan irregularities apart from the general ill health.
You are welcome to watch her apartment - there is a tridcam network in the building. Our physical security has been increased with other members touring in case there has been infiltration - no result. Please keep me informed of what you are looking to do so that I can inform my staff.
how are you going to approach this? Meg will leave back to the site unless there is anything you need her to do...

She wont take a communicator and wont have someone physical installed in her room - and you know she can percieve the astral.. Unless you have any further reason to remain in her room then you are graciously removed....
Jimmy is willing to provide support for any good plans that he can help with...
next step please..
Meg takes a cab back - Henri and Shade can engage with the team if you wish..

((Well then..'guess i'll let Jimmy get a commlink (another frequency) and inform him we'll provide magical security, some more..direct physical security, and maybe have soemone or two closeby inside his building near the Monk's room, jsut in case.
speaking of...if she makes a ward or soemthing insdie her room..can we make one outside her room?...at least now we could get a foward warning that soemone or something in inside with her..or if she flies off somewhere..))

While the rest are visiting the Mr. Johnson, Chuck will take a ride on his bike into China Town. He drives to the area around where the rest are meeting. Parks in an ally and readys his gear. he'll be atking his survival knife, combat axe, ruger and LMG.
SV This is Chuck. I'm going to check out the sewers in and around the Mr. Js place. maybe what ever is draining her is living under them. Some one shoud check the bsaement aswell. But I can do that when I'm done in the sewer. Chuck also gives them a location where he's entering the sewer.

There is nothing special about the window Micro - the strange thing is there are traces of her magic which you can tell are her castings as they have her signature still 'warm' - there are a couple of spells being cast - attempts at wardings and also a manipulation spell - you cant tell which - from a day ago..? there are tiny traces of the same spells being cast over the last few days.
A warding could be created outside but needs some physical locations to nail it onto - so along the corridor outside her room.. inside of the two offices/apartments next to hers but it could be tough to create one outside her window - the nearest pedways run three floors below - thats a long drop or an awkward climb up - there is another a floor above which is off to one side then the next one straight up is some four floors up.. The one above and to the side offers a good viewing of her windows (which are reflec covered too)
CHuck has a gander down one of the larger sewer hatches - a large one.. breaking the maglock is easy enough.. there is a crete ring and a series of laddersteps embedded in the wallsrunning down into the stink.. at the lower rungs you have to bend down and peer under the lip - there is a sluggish flow below you however..
you know there are many sewer systems which you can drive a quad along, this aint one of them - this is barely a metre wide and deep (you think) - not fit for a public sewerage system it just couldnt cope.. You look around - there are tens of thousands living in these hi-rise bloks - so where does it all go? It may have been barely adequate for the city fifty years ago and it doesnt look as if much has changed..
Chuck heads down the next quiet alley and does the same - still a small effluent drain - a couple of more checks registers this area as gravely in need of deeper wider sewers. If everyone flushed at once.. Chuck mused.. Then you notice the Resyk bins - people are emptying ..garbage? into these hoppers.. there is not much waste nowadays - all packaging can be recycled - fresh food is a rarity - most of the burger an fries you eat is kibble packaging with vitamins an flavouring. Kibble is a filler - roughage that keeps you regular and easily recycled -
As long as the whole area is careful about not flushing too often then city rates dont need to go up too much because of the cost of drilling out new drains...
The basement - like many office buildings the underground levels were converted into carparking - you ask to take the tour and the helpers around Jimmy turn real shifty.. Jimmy sighs and leads you down the crete steps..
level 1 has a couple of dozen cars, pickup trucks mostly, all parked under the weak neon lighting. Cleverly pannelled around is the downslope to level 2 - through a few heavy plas 'curtains' you walk inside, and filling most of the space is a series of big copper tanks with a vent sucking like mad removing the evil smell up the building..
Home brew. There are plas cartons ready to be filled with brew 'Felinfoel Double Dragon' printed on the side - you gather that there is little tax paid on this micro-brewery.. Jimmy Bean is a bootlegger. Heh.. My grandfolks came from LLanelli in Wales before it was absorbed back into Great Britain.. a family business..
Bootleg beer - he would have connections all over the city -
You have now had a very good poke - in under and around the building. Who is going to set up what and who is going to be where? Outside, the sun goes down turning the sky a rainbow of colours as the last rays twinkle off the toxins in the smog...
