From vague memory there's a limit to how far you can send a spirit away from you without it counting as a remote service.  As far as I know you can freely communicate when it's within that range...but again that's based off memory

You can go Summoner's Magic x 100 meters before it's a remote service.

Quote from: Core Rule Book of SR5; page 302
Your spirit can’t move farther away from you than your Magic rating x 100 meters. If forced out of this radius, the spirit will try to return as quickly as possible. If you send a spirit beyond this range, it counts as a remote service.

As far as I can tell, as long as the spirit did not get banished or disrupted, you can communicate with it through the Spirit-Summoner Link.

Spector is going to make sure that first two Ghouls he has throwing stars in are not still alive. IF they are still alive Spector will throw his next shuriken at one of them, if he droped both he will throw at a new target.

Initiative
10 + 2d6
2d6=5
Initiative = 15

Simple Action: Throw Weapon (Shuriken)

AGI 5 + Throwing Weapons (Shuriken) 5(7) = 12 (Limit Physical: 8 )
12d6.hits(5)=5

Simple Action: Ready more Shuriken

@Scawire: minor point, a LAV is more like a flying armoured bus...even less that your shurikens can do... :o

You are well within range of magicx100m... the convoy is moving but only a few seconds have passed when it is picking up speed (crap acceleration)...given that Al is now trying to play chicken with the LAV that is VERY close!  ;D

If you're asking for votes, I say go for the clowns.

Al would say the same if asked IC.

He'd rather die than be alive at the expense of those little kids.

Chicken. Yes, Like the sound of that.
The body and momentum of that whole train, even at 25 MPH…
Yeah, I'd love to ram those child-killers, and let the chips fall where they may for Al in the cab.

But it never even occurred to me that, with their superior speed/maneuverability + inferior mass they'd ever let me make contact. Hope I'm wrong...

More worried about the gun.
Going for the engine could leave the train coasting to an eventual halt.
But spraying the cab might be the more emotionally satisfying choice for them.

Should that happen, I assumed there'd be a massive penalty on the ranged defense if I stayed at the wheel, so have tried to hedge my bets with a badass soak bonus…

Maybe dodging the train will throw off their aim.
And maybe a genie will show up and grant Al three wishes.
I guess we'll see what happens.

And Lusis - love the idea of your M23 giving the pilot something else to think about!

Intervention has a HAR she can harry the LAV pilot with as well, on rock and roll it should at least make him think twice about his approach. Alternatively, she could theoretically pull out the bolt action and attempt to disable it with an engine shot from the sniper rifle.

Lemme know what you think~

Well, again, if people are asking for votes…

If there is anything you can do for the kids, that's the idealist's choice!

If you are not in a position to do so (or just more interested in the threat to ourselves!), then by all means let those airborne bastards know we're not going to just roll over and stop the train for them!!!
The sniper rifle probably has a lot more penetrating power vs. their armor...
