Fang - Perception
[spoiler]
You don't see anything in the slowly drifting fog, or indeed much motion besides the pilot back in the water taxi loitering and smoking a cigarette as he pulls the night shift.  You can see the usual night insects and your heightened senses catch the musky smell of the minotaur's adrenaline pumping so he's not just hazing you.

If Bullpen and Gray are right whatever's out there has serious masking capabilities.  If you want to make a check for Combat Tactics or Logic for options go ahead.[/spoiler]

Fang tilted his head to the side. While he couldn't tell what was bothering Bullpen, he knew something really was. He quickly tried to think of a couple of options for where to go from here.

[spoiler]Nothing on 8 hits? Harsh. That's pretty well-disguised.

Logic (5) (5d6.hits(5)=1)[/spoiler]

Fang - Logic
[spoiler]
Your senses are keen - keener than most trolls in fact.  And frankly you're not convinced that there's anything out there.  It's possible, remotely, that your contact was somehow tracked to Bainbridge with a high tech drone or spirit. 

If it's a drone you can try to detect the node, since anything that high tech with instant response is probably being rigged right now.

If it's a spirit that somehow manifested you don't know what you'd do.[/spoiler]

Bullpen - Radar Perception
[spoiler]
You don't get anything back on the radar sense the mage gave you.  Could it have been a spirit you've seen or a drone with some kind of masking?  You remember back when you played baseball that the drone camera used in stadiums had chameleon coatings to prevent them from interfering with the view of the ball in play.  Or maybe the mage isn't as good at his casting, but your eyes could track a 157 kph fastball so you know there's nothing wrong with them![/spoiler]

Fang narrowed his eyes. It was rare that his senses failed him as they had in this circumstance. He decided to cast out his senses in the matrix instead. He decided to get a little extra help though and his Living Persona drew on the Resonance, making a call for assistance from a sprite that interacted with the very essence of the matrix.

[spoiler]Free action - Detect Active/Passive nodes.

Complex Action - Compile Code Sprite R6 (optional powers: Scan, Corrupt): Compiling (4) + Resonance (6) + Paragon (1) (11d6.hits(5)=4)
Resist drain: Intuition (5) + Resonance (6) (11d6.hits(5)=5)

If successful: Use first task to Detect Hidden Nodes.[/spoiler]

It's possible something's there, but Bullpen isn't sure since the Radar didn't pick anything up. La magia parecía estar funcionando ... (The magic seemed to be working ...)

He walks to the edge of the parking lot to get a closer look, tapping the bat into his left hand as he approaches, ready to swing.

[spoiler]Perception: 1 success out of 6[/spoiler]

Fang - Matrix Work
[spoiler]
OOC - Do you want to roll for your sprites or do you want me to?  I'll update the post with results if you'd prefer I roll.

Your sprite is summoned and proceeds to run around looking for nodes in the immediate area.  It begins to scan the area, occasionally reporting back to you whenever it rules something out.
[/spoiler]

Bullpen - Perception
[spoiler]
OOC - Come on now, trying to get out of a non-combat glitch by rerolling one second later?  You do have Edge you know!

There's an eerie quiet in the parking lot area as you stride towards the edge of the lot.  You don't see anything - could it have been an animal?  But if it was an animal why didn't the radar sense pick it up?

Tal vez la niebla está jugando trucos en mis ojos (Maybe the fog is playing tricks on my eyes). Still not sure, he straightens himself taller and snorts into the darkness in an attempt to scare off anything that might be nearby.

[spoiler]Intimidation: 1 success of 3[/spoiler]

The snort comes across a bit juvenile.

He turns his back and walks back toward the bike. If anything is there, he figures he can take what it has to dish out, O por lo menos mejor que estos coños (Or at least better than these bastards).

"It looks clear", he calls to Fang and Gray.

Bullpen - Intimidation
[spoiler]
Whatever it is seems to be suitably impressed, it avoids showing it's face and stays hidden.
[/spoiler]

Fang - Sprite Scan
[spoiler]
12d6 - 7 successes.  Your sprite happily reports one hidden node, designed to be masked behind the main node of the security system of the harbor.

Hm... What might you be? Fang thought to himself as he received the results from his Sprite. He focused his attention on the node that the sprite had indicated, utilising his internal Resonance to get as much information on the node as possible.

Gray moved out from behind the glass wall, with a black look on his face. He made a small gesture with his fingers, disrpting the mana flow from him to the invisibility spell, causing Fang to pop back into visibility again. " Bullpen." He said, in a soft voice that nevertheless made him seem like he was about to explode" Please don't make that mistake again, the last few months I've had some very angry terrorists looking for me, and when a lookout says he sees something, I'm expecting around a dozen armed men, and so is Adversary. What this means is that there is at present a spirit rather disapointed that I haven't killed anyone sitting in my head, and it isn't that discriminating when it comes to entertainment."

He felt a familiar tingle at the back of his brain, a sign that Adversery was going to drop in, most likely with some scathing commentary, but he hopefully mitgated the incoming chastisement with a quick explination" Oh hush, you know I've never been good at peptalks, and when hasn't been scaring the drek out of people not been a good motivator, I know it's a bit dramatic, but you can hardly talk on that front, you old ham.
[spoiler]
Intimidation 7d6(5)[5char+2int-2outnumbered+2obvious magic]: 5 hits
I'd say the physical intimidation is balanced out between Fang, who sees 6 feet of norse pseudo-eagle and Bullpen, who knows he's a slightly decrepit human who looks like he needs a walking tick to get anywhere underneath

Fang turned around to look back in surprise after he finished investigating the hidden node. He hadn't really been paying attention to what was going on so he was surprised when he found that  he was visible again. He had heard Gray speaking of course, but felt less nervous because it wasn't directed at him. Didn't stop him feeling somewhat  anxious around the magician though.

"Um... Could we continue going to the base? I can't find a drone anywhere, but I'd rather not remain in the open all the same." His commlink chirped out the words. "How will we be travelling?"

[spoiler]4 hits of 7 to resist intimidation[/spoiler]
Fairly irritated but still calm, Bullpen says, "I did not say shit to you, coño. I was checking out something I thought I saw -- I did not realize you would panic. So let us calm down, hm?"

Turning to Fang with a more jovial tone, "Good to meet you in person, Fang." He extends his hand to shake Fangs's. "Either way, you are right. We should go now."

He walks toward his bike and gets on. "Hop on. I know we just met, but it will be a cozy ride."

Once the two get on the bike, he will change the plates and set the autopilot to take a slightly different route back to base.
