I'm waiting on Data Search results before I know what I'm doing next. Need some information to go off of. Or should I make a few more rolls first?
I can give you some results based on what you have rolled, but it isn't going to be much. The circumstances you are asking about are just too broad and general. You and I already discussed that the rules on data search are vague, so let me try and explain my philosophy on a successful data search.
Any single word you can put in a search for will give you shitloads of data, even when you put in in several words it doesn't narrow the field much. What I consider to be a successful data search is
RELEVANT data. That you have found that needle that matters in the haystack the approxiamate size of Nebraska (pre Awakening
)
There is going to be stuff that you just won't find, but you won't know until you look. Take for example, the search you have outlined, "What happened to us?" If there is data to be found on the subject, you could find it eventually, like if there was a police report or a blogger's post on it, but without those things you will not find anything particularly useful. You can confirm things you already know, reports on Tir Taingire's use of Laes for example, that can be confirmed. Shadow people in general though are notoriously difficult to find, precisely because their value is in that difficulty. Once you get famous, it is hoped that you are good enough to handle those who can find you or scary enough that people don't try. You guys aren't there yet.
Either way, the successes you rolled are probably not enough to have found relevant data just yet, give me some more rolls and/or refine your search parameters.
Not trying to nerf your ability, but I don't care how good you are at searches, you aren't going to find the pet name that O'Connor's pretty neighbor calls him, because it isn't on the net to be found.
