"Aye, this I know well. Was once fool enough to register well beyond my power, wound up in the hospital for a month. Creidhne remains a good friend, though, so all in all it wasn't the stupidest thing I've done." He smiled a bit with that last part, remembering some of the other stupid-but-good experiences he's had back home.
Maybe Sam's got a point... Would be wise of me to be searching for any hidden signals out here. Reaching inward, Fionn looked for the Resonance at the core of his abilities - and was more than a little bit glad when he felt what seemed to be it. He couldn't be certain, not without some sort of interaction, but his power still seemed to be there. From it, he shaped a lighthouse upon a great rock, but changed the shape of the light to cast a wider beam - a light meant to search out craft upon the waters, rather than to warn them. He held this construct in his head, letting it cast about and perpetually scan the area around him.
Addressing the rest of the group in a tone implying his attention was on something else, he let them know what he was up to.
"Ought to mention, I'm liable to be a little distracted for a while - scanning around for any devices kept in hidden. If you've got anything in you with a transceiver, may as well let me know since I'm probably about to find out - would be nice to be able to rule things out as being something to be concerned about."[spoiler]
Threading, Fading resistance (6d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=2)Scan Complex Form threaded to Rating 2; Fading fully resisted. Detect Hidden Node pool is 6, which buys 1 hit. Meaning that if I spend 45 seconds in mutual signal range of a hidden node, I detect it. People with 'ware take note - almost all cyber has wireless, especially internal stuff; the range varies based on the specific type of 'ware.
For reference, my Signal rating is 3, and thus my range is 400 metres. Most cyber and nanoware has Signal 0, and thus a range of 3m. Headware is at 2, which translates to 100m. Cyberlimbs are at 5, and thus 4km - though, keep in mind that MSR basically means both are in the range of the one with the lower Signal. Any drones or vehicles around probably have their specific Signal listed; stuff like RFID tags and most handheld electronics are Signal 1 (40m); another listed example of Signal 5 is "heavy drone surveillance sensors".[/spoiler]
