To comb through the video feed, roll Computer + Intuition [Data Processing] (6, 30 minutes) Extended Test, with a -4 penalty, since the only info you have is 'something like a roadmaster.' If you wait until after the investigation, you might find more evidence to go on that will give you better odds on that search.
I'm going to compile a Machine Sprite again. A Data Sprite might be better suited to the task by the fluff, but the only advantage it has over any other sprite is a DP of L+4, but the Machine Sprite has L+3, and really it's unlikely to roll L hits, so it's pretty much moot.

4 dice penalty:
4d6t5 3Seriously? Ugh, second half hour:
Video Search:
21d6t5 6Already including the -4 penalty and the -1 for the second interval.
So, we have the results in an hour. Or less if I can apply the bonus hits to cutting the time.
I'll summon another machine sprite to assist with the search for information on the Matrix device Manticore uses:
