Maxwell grins.  "That should do just fine.  Astral recon isn't exactly distanced based.  I can take a trip to the Bahamas if I wanted.  So long as I don't crash into any mana barriers, wards, lodges or other astral forms.  It'd be the physical equivalent of running into a brick wall.  There are ways around mana barriers and ways through if I needed to get past one.  The one thing I'll need from you is making sure the doors stay locked.  I'm going to be a bit vulnerable as I do this."

[Kuirem]

Wheely laugh "At least we share that, I'm quite vulnerable in VR as well though I probably won't be able to go as far as the Bahamas. I will keep my drones ready and checking the surrounding for any threat.". Wheely take control of his car again and drive toward a good spot he found.

"So if you can go to the Bahamas why are you still in this hole? If you don't mind me asking"

[Ennui]

I share the info with the team.  I'm not much of a hacker but the company or city hall may have a map Yobu and I can go talk to the cyber clinic.  Even if we can't get a map I can just get a bead on them and search the sewers.  Wheels give me a mark on your com and I can use you as the anchor.  I head out if no one objects Yobu had already volunteered but if anyone else wants to join I will wait for them.

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell chuckles in a low raspy tone.  "Well, for one I hate sand in my boots and I don't care much for sunny shores.  But... there are many reasons why I'm in Seattle of all places.  Since my Awakening, I've been running the shadows and trying to carve a better future for myself.  Trailblazing and hell raising from one southern state to the next.  From Texas to Nevada.  From Nevada to Arizona.  From Arizona to... wait... how'd I get here again?  Can't entirely remember.  Strange.  Anyway, my point being that the reason why I'm here is because this city is great for someone like me.  Plenty of work and if I make my residence in either Redmond or Puyallup then I'm rarely bothered."

[Jack_Spade]

Kynos gave the others MARKs on the stealth tags: "That should do it.
Since Irris is now my ride after wheely went away with Sovereign, I'll go with you to the sewer appointment. I'll have to change my outfit, but we can do that on the way there."

[Kuirem]

"Never left Seattle myself so I can't really say if other cities are better. You know what they say: grass is greener on the other side."

During their discussion they get out of the most populated area of Seattle and drive on a road surrounded by a dying vegetation, at some point Wheely leave the road and keep going until he finds a suitable grove to hide.

"Ok mate, we should be close enough, the farm is in this direction" pointing south-west "I will configure my drones to alert me if anything get close but we shouldn't be bothered here. Anything to do before we each get into our own plane?"

[Stuttrboy]

Ayato grabs his pack and adds it to Irris' trunk. Then follows on his bike.

[Kuirem]

Wheely was keeping a tab on his mesages and quickly sends the MARK and answer <<Sure, it's done. Careful in there.>>

Looking at Ayato, Noëmie answers "Sorry, to answer your question, yes I'm aware of the mythological origin of the nickname." she smiles thinly, and turns to Gem "When do you want to go see your...boyfriend?"

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell shakes his head.  "No, we're all set.  We should get this under wraps soon.  The drugs I took will wear off in a couple of hours and I'll end up crashing unconscious in your car.  Better hurry before then."  Leaning back comfortably in his seat, Maxwell astral projects from the car to the farm.  From there he'll be able to see what kind of defenses they have set up.

@Wheely + Maxwell As you make your way to a safe spot at the outskirts of Puyallop, you see the damage to the city, barricades, fortified buildings. Homeless's and refugees seat helplessly in the streets. Privacy is impossible to find - but this is the least of your concerns, as you about to settle on a place but before you actually leave to your own intimate worlds, two KE patrols approach the spot you choose. The roof of these patrols was cut open, and half body out you can see two large looking orcs equipped with assault rifles. With a metalic KE voice they cry at you "Strangers are not welcome here, surrender the Vehicle  and we will let you leave." The orcs are all wearing distinctive red leather clothes, and they paint their faces and shape their horns in a way that makes them resemble daemons.

@Kynos Ayato Irris -  The clinic is located at the heart of Redmond barrens, and is surrounded by Yakuza territory. What takes your attention is the lush vegetation, it seems that once you crossed to the barrens the trees became greener. The grass is growing wild and the streets look almost lovely - as if some hidden force is doing massive scale gardening.  You get to appreciate the view, but about 1 kilometer from the clinic you encounter an improvised barricade that seem to be armed by a local militia. They do not seem professional in any way.  They are armored with a crude armor made of junk and are armed with baseball bats and hand crafted primitive bows.  They signal you to stop the car for inspection.

@Nyx Simone: Gem tells you  - I was planning of meeting him this evening, the most empty time to come is at evening right at dusk because this is the time most of the smugglers are out, so we can get some privacy, and the smugglers can appreciate new BTLs when they return from their job.

[Mulcarn]

Frowning at the unwanted interruption.  The mage turns his head to Wheely and says.  "Gangland raiders.  Let me handle them."  Crossing his arms and closing his eyes, Maxwell projects out of the car.  Phasing around unseen he moves directly above and behind the gangers.  Manifesting as a bright burning specter of himself, he answers them.  "Lo' there!  Might I ask you to turn around and let us go about our business undisturbed?  We are here on important work and would like to not be bothered or robbed.  If not... well... you'll see what happens to those that oppose me."

[Kuirem]

Wheely immediatly check what the orks and their car have that run Wireless and he could hack through. These look like they want to fight and probably won't give up on a simple intimidation.

Matrix Perception. Target: Ork Patrol. 9d6t5 1

Their cars are my main focus, if I could crash it it would be easier but hacking the guns or anything wireless they have on it would do it too.

@Wheely - you notice four comlinks each with a wireless smartgun system slaved to it. You also spot a cheap RCC in one of the patrol cars. 

@Maxwell their leader seems impressed but unshaken - with a quick silent exchance of words with the other patrol car leader he tells you.  "You can stay for a few minutes, but if you are not out of here by the time our reinforcement arrive you better be bullet proof, you abomination. "  You can sense the hate, fear and desire for vengeance in these words. They are so charged with emotion that the words are visible through the astral.
