Does anyone know if there is an astral smoke bomb that would block vision from someone either in meatspace astrally perceiving or in astral space perceiving "normally" (astrally)?

Don't think its been updated for 5th yet, but the Petite-brume grenade from 4th was just what you were looking for. Basically put a cloud of FAB I or something else in the air to act like an astral smoke grenade.

Astrally, living things are an opaque barrier, IIRC, so if you could somehow load a bomb with something alive, it should do the trick.  Algae grenade?  Jar of bees... and some wasps?

FAB I and II aren't dangerous, the mage can suck it up until it's FAB III.
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

Of course, for the stated goal, it doesn't have to be fancy awakened bacteria. It can be yeast.

That depends on how much of an aura yeast puts off.  Might not be opaque enough without going for some ludicrous dispersal system to get enough of it where you want it.

Before we turned to Running, we did work with Awakened yeasts in the hope of starting our own chain of premier bakeries offering astrally inspired breads.

Alas ultimately those dreams were shattered as we couldn't raise the dough. :P
Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Don't you mean Astral Concealment / Deployable Cloud? Otherwise known as AC/DC =)

Ah, yes, late 20th century music references.
We could use an innovator like you at Ares Macrotechnology.

Mister Knight, do you have anything to say about the rumors that you are secretly Iron Man?

"At Ares" sounds somewhat constrictive. I like to go where the wind takes me (read: paycheck). But, I am a big fan of the Ares Predator after all. Have your people get with my people. We'll do lunch!
