Once I have arranged for the mask, I will visit Gloria's house and her body, as well as keep tabs on Ace and Kat.
Which means I'll be checking in to the meat world frequently to catch up on text messages and send my own. Or I might just Manifest or chat with Katsina/Chino since presumably they can communicate with me from the Astral.
As an aside, the roll to find the ballistic mask included finding black market dealers, right? Or do I need to roll separately for that? I obviously don't want this linked to me, even on a burner SIN, and I don't want to put my contacts at risk by openly communicating with them (especially as they might be under surveillance if they were known associates).
Also, if anyone else wants stuff with availability, submit the list to Ohanzee and he'll see what he can do. Make sure you have the funds to cover it or can borrow from another teammate. Again, I suggest something to hide your face and a micro-transceiver. This assumes that Tecumseh is okay with Ohanzee doing this for the team - I remember reading somewhere (maybe Missions play?) that some GMs did not like the Face shopping for the entire party in order to encourage contact use or something, but considering our circumstances with regards to contacts this might not apply.
Here's a couple Assensing rolls for Gloria and her home:
Sneaking Astrally [Sneaking 3 + Agility 5 - Wounds 1]:
7d6t5 4Assensing Gloria's House [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 - Wounds 1]:
7d6t5 2Assensing Gloria's Body [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 - Wounds 1]:
7d6t5 2Astral Overwatch (Ace & Katsina) [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 - Wounds 1]:
7d6t5 2The first roll was amazing, the other three fairly average. Though I don't know if I should be using Logic in place of Agility for Astral Stealth. If so, drop dice as you see fit (two dice difference).
I'll do an IC with the purchasing, location history search, and the astral looking around once I have the info I need.
Also, depending on time frames, Ohanzee might be available to participate in the potential fight. If needed he can drop the Air spirit and summon something more appropriate, but he would be loathe to unless absolutely necessary - it was a tough summon and he doesn't want to give up the cover. So chances are he'd just watch from astral until things are dire before jumping in with more than a Manifestation and a "Boo!". I could try Con from the astral - "I have an army of spirits ready to unleash if you don't move along", but again, it all depends on whether I am party to this engagement or not.
