Session 1 Book 1 Chapter 1

[Miss]

Puppet's quiet manner kept her secluded for a time as she watched those far more capable than she with beginning an investigation. Her commlink's scans had revealed nothing hidden, at least as far as matrix nodes were concerned. But in a place like this- who would be running one if they didn't need it.

"Why not just announce ourselves as charity workers?" Puppet asks through their comm signal, her hands already bringing forward one of the two duffel bags she carried.

"We have food. Water. Medical. If you want people here to reveal themselves- announce loudly we have them, and we've come to help them." she says in such a way that sounded one-part question, and one part statement of fact.

"Even if these buildings are not trapped- they are still dangerous." she adds much in afterthought, though still as if cautioning that venturing into the buildings was going to be a danger to the team.

Commlink & PAN Status

MCT-3500 Commlink (DR 3, 0/0/3/3) Matrix Condition Monitor: 0 / 10 Mode: Silent SIN: [FakeSIN Rating 4] Horizon Group Corporate SIN HG-55N13-0T834 Like any upstanding citizen this commlink broadcasts its ID's basic profile, including links to various social media feeds, a dating profile, and corporate-modeling portfolios. In appearance the public-facing side of the commlink's node is everything a Horizon Corporate Citizen should be- vibrant and overly-sharing. Accessing private information, medical or other sensitive information does require authorization however. This commlink contains a great number of mundane 'everyday' pictures and general files befitting the identity. It also contains a handful of files and pictures which could be seen as 'candid', 'private', 'incriminating' or 'damaging' to the identity; but are in truth, under dedicated scrutiny, fake and doctored.

No signs of her former fame or life are broadcast, no social media feeds or archives are linked and much of her information is locked behind access-walls. While certainly not a 'cold' appearance, it does look professional and stereotypical Renraku in nature. As this commlink is Ryoko's everyday 'real' commlink, it contains thousands of pictures, videos, files and apps involving every aspect of her life- legal and otherwise. This does include her software collection, personasofts and several recorded Sim-clips from key moments in her life that she carries with her for sentimental reasons.

OOC & Mechanics

Puppet is going to swap her Armourer 4 skillsoft with a downloaded Computer 4 skillsoft, and use a Matrix Perception action to specifically scan a 100m radius around her for Running Silent/Hidden wireless signals. Assuming there is some hidden wireless signals to find, she'll roll an opposed Computer+Logic [DP] vs the device/host's Logic+Sleaze.

And 1 success. Any hidden devices, nodes etc in the area may make the Opposed test to go undiscovered.

"We are." replies Venn, without hesitation, to Barb's rhetorical question as to whether they were here to help people.

"Nothing but cockroaches and rats to announce ourselves to.", purrs Venn, in the somewhat dreamy voiced fashion of someone miles away.. the telltale sign of an assensing mage. "I can't speak as to technical stuff. So, I agree, potentially dangerous. Oh and be on the lookout for used syringes."

They'd all been busy about their various concerns and so things got missed, so she was happy to reiterate. "The blood, as in the liquid, not the vernacular young street tough, isn't that recent, days old certainly.. only the freeze and the UV shade protection from the gunk on the outside made it in any way readable." she adds, in a somewhat distracted tone that suggests she's musing or even pondering.

OOC

..

Barb's drone crawls inside and down the interior of the window and wall to the floor of the convenience store. Attempting to use the Olfactory sensor doesn't seem to lead it on a specific path. Pickle is getting a bit jumpy about getting inside and looking for himself but he is trying to hold off and let everyone do their jobs. The drone searches the main room of the market, down the few isles around the perimeter and behind the counters, finding only more of the same trash and narcotic paraphernalia. The done continues into a back room, out of sight from the windows. Through Barb's video feed from the drone, the group can follow along. The drone goes around some shelves, past a closed insulated door, and then into what appears to of been a small office. The room was fairly trashed. On the floor partially covered in a heap of dirty clothing, and soiled cardboard is a human body, a quick look in thermo confirms it is cold.

 

Seeing a reaction on some of the runner's faces, Pickle speaks up. "What is it?"

Venn considers filling Pickle in on the deceased, but on the basis of credit should go to where credit is due, she leaves it to Barb to fill him in. She'd long since acquired the conviction that things just went better when everyone got a chance to feel useful.

Fingering the mementoes on the chain around her neck, the sartorial, and highly personal, equivalent of a box of dog tags, it occurs to her that there's a high chance the blood and the body will be a match.

Her next thought was that drug dens tended to play host to a series of dead people, sudden death being an occupational hazard for addicts .... and shadowrunners.

"I'll bring my friend over and he can take a look..", she murmurs.

Moments later a figure seems to coalesce out of thin air just inside the door. It has the shape of a slim wiry man that has the look of a slum runner, one of those folk who never seem to work but always seem to be just 'around'. He's dressed in warm insulating clothese, though rags would be a better description, emblazoned with logos of clothing companies that haven't been around for years. It's clearly a spirit, and from the vibes its giving off, a pretty strong one.

Note: Spirit is using Guard to block environmental dangers and prevent glitches.

"I dunno, seems like it would just a target on our backs," Suit says back to Puppet. Seeing the shopping carts were just that - shopping carts - the face decides to mill about for a second, just to get his bearings of the place. "Think they could be nearby?" he asks Venn, just as Barbara's drone gets inside the building.

When Pickle asks about what they've seen, Suit just grimaced and says, "Found a body inside, looks like it's been dead a while. Venn, you think thay could be the person the blood is from?"

"Likely.", replies Venn to Suit's question, electing to confine long rambling sentences to social occasions. Places like this, she preferred the short and sweet approach.

"Nearby?", she adds, mirroring Suit's earlier question. She doesn't nod as she replies.. "Well, at least one pair of eyes watching.", while looking around.

"My senses extend a fair way, but ground's open and vision magnification, or binocs.. dirt cheap. A few pairs of eyes, comms and some high ground and you're aware of all that moves." She doesn't imagine she needs to stress including us.. these were all smart people. "All for the price of a chair, a burrito some cheap kaf and maybe an electric blanket. Lookouts don't charge a lot."

She rubs her mouth, concealing her lips, as she concludes with.. "I've not used spirit to conceal us or changed the look of the truck. I assume we're being checked out so I'm keeping those aces up my sleeve 'till we need them."

"Im taking a look around via the matrix. Standby." he says over the comm.

As he stands on the top of the van, slipping the device into a vest pocket he takes a good look around though, not with his cybereyes. Accessing his deck he slips into VR for a moment running a scan of the local matrix as Collin looks for any hidden signals in the nearby area. He flips on a track of the latest album he had gotten, Japanese Punk in theme. A song called "Freedom in the rain" playing at half volume in his ears. No one else could hear it but the smooth electric beat helped him concentrate as he delved into the local area.

"I dunno, seems like we're just wasting time," Suit replies back in comms. "The jobs just to clear the market out and let Pickle see what work needs to be done. Just gotta keep him safe, we don't even need to clear everything today. Maybe I'm just sounding like a lazy drekhead, but it seems like we're just making work for ourselves that we really don't need to."

Venn directs a somewhat jaundiced look in Suit's direction... "Ok, IED detection's not my thing but here goes.", she purrs. Then gesturing for her spirit to preceed her, she enters the building. She doesn't take her gun out.. it's mostly ornamental where she is concerned.

Character Sheet

"We've got a st- fatality inside after the blood trail. Cold. Don't see any surprises, air looks as clean as it can be.", she vocalises in a steady, but quiet tone to Pickle as she switches her attention from the AR feed to the rest of the team, a frown slowly going on her face. Can't help but think whether if we'd gone right after the meet someone might've still been breathing. No point in ifs and what's though.

"Pretty boy's got a point, no sense sticking outside freezing. Plus, better cover inside.", she adds with a devilish wink at Suit, before tilting her jacket to reveal the shoulder holster as she walks alongside Venn. "I got your hoop covered, hon. Puppet looks more than capable to get our collective hoops covered from visitors."

After a long look through the local matrix 404 exits VR and jumps down from the top of the van, taking a long look around the area before approaching the building right behind the others. "Matrix seems clear for now. No signals besides us but that might change if we get the power back on." He says as he puts a hand on the door, slowly turning the knob and opening it as he keeps his form to the side of the doorway. Collin then looked inside, one way, then the other and called out "Hello? Anyone home? Were not here to hurt you! We just want to take a look around!" he said with his voice raised and looking into the doorway.

So I messed up a bit. I didn't notice Ven\s detect life was extended which gives it more range, 10x more to be more persice. So I need to resolve that properly here. Sorry.

<<Detect Life, Extended: Ven spell did not detect any metahuman life in the vicinity of the market. additionally, it does detect a trio of humans on the 2nd floor of the auto repair shop. All of them seem to be prone and unarmed. Looking in that direction there is a broken dormer window on the 2nd floor with what appears to be a plastic tarp put up on the inside.

For a very brief moment you got a ping on something within the post office. Metahuman, small, human but odd, and familiar, didn't last but a second, as if someone broke the surface of a body of water only to dive back down.

Further away within what appears to be the 2nd to the rightmost unit of the strip mall at the northwestern end of the shopping center, you ping an ork woman, sitting on the ground, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, and ready to defend himself as if it was expecting someone or someones to come at any time.

even further out things get a bit too busy, many of the former houses in the developments around the shopping center and across E. Smoky have people squating in them a few hundred within the spell's range. >>

The spirit does it's look around and returns to Ven. "Does not seems to be anything dangerous inside. Watch your step in the backroom there is a frozen puddle.."

Upon being informed of the corpse inside, Pickle's face seems to soften, "I want to see who.." he stops speaking a moment then continse speaking. "You know when you say I can go in."

404 gets no response when he calls out. He does detect a bit of a foul smell.

He stands there for a moment hearing nothing but silence returned to his plea to anyone there. Silence was something he was expecting but he hoped it wouldnt be the return he got for his efforts. "Alright lets head in. We search room by room. Be wary of traps. I think Pickle should wait outside in the truck, at least till we clear the building." he states over the comm unit as he takes his first tentative steps inside, keeping his weapon holstered and at first glance hidden at the small of his back. However his other hand reaches down to his belt, pulling up the flashlight and lighting it as he begins to look around the room paying special attention to entrances and exits.

Venn grins at Barb's "Hon", returning it with a "Thanks Cher." She then blinks as 404, behind her, announces their presence to the building as he too enters. She thinks about joking that this place is a step up from her apartment, corpse notwithstanding, but thinks better of it.

"There's three unarmed humans in the auto repair shop, in the room with the plastic covered window. They're lying down.", she murmurs, though loudly enough for folk near her and on Comms to pick up.

She halts, quite suddenly, then, "There's also a small, elusive and actually 'kinda wierd' human in the Post Office... just catching glimpses of that one.", once more drawling through the murmur.

Continuing moving, her expression suggesting she's thinking about the elusive, she continues.. "And there's an orc woman in the shopping centre laying out the red.. ah.. shotgun.. for expected guests. Further out, there's what seem like squats with a good deal of folk in them." The titbit about the orc is accompanied by a somewhat concerned 'smirk'.

Rather more jauntily she moves onto.. "Oh and there's a slip hazard in the backroom there.. frozen puddle, wouldn't want anyone to slip and sustain a concussion."

She concludes with a shrug and pursed lips, very Gallic. "There may well be other stuff around, but that's what I'm getting."

Note: Spirit is using Guard to block environmental dangers and prevent glitches.

<<Detect Life, Extended: no additional readings >>

<Ironside: "Since the meat world and the matrix is covered I'll overwatch in the astral from the van, don't leave me to die!" he says as he slumps over in the passenger seat of the van.>

Pickle nods in agreement and heads to the back of the van and starts to power up his laborer drone.

 

Inside the convenience store Ven, and Barb clear the main front room. aside from trash, they do not find a whole lot. The coolers that line one wall are also clear. The main counter seems like it has been the busiest area in the front. Looks like someone had been eating and using behind the counter.

The small office is very dark. There is a very old display screen mounted to the wall above the "desk". The desk drawers have been left open and their valueless contents have been rummaged through. The tattered flux leather chair is missing a coaster and is flipped over.

The storage area of the back is where the body is found. some personal belongings and soiled bedding are all around him. The purple of bodily fluids is still frozen from the cold night. Not much in the way of stored food and goods.
