[Ace of Wands] Gameplay

Ishtar, dear, my plan is to get to my gear, find information on the SWAT guys, and track their orders to figure out why they raided this..."event". Event is said with some scorn

You are very welcome to sit down in my house at figuring this out between us. My brother is working so he will not be in the way.... I could call him and ask if he knows anything, but that is plan C
Its almost like she is embarrassed to say it. He is a sleeper

Well, do you have a Soldering Iron at your place? Conner asks with genuine interest.

Wiki looks at Conner as if he is an idiot. Yes a full hardware workshop

Why Connor?

May I borrow the soldering iron? though he is clearly playing on looking dumb here, it is hard to not feel like this is going somewhere bad.

Sure, ok. Wiki smiles and relaxes.
What kind of tip do you need? What is the project..... Wiki is happily talking shop with Conner while they get into Ishtars car.

I really just need the soldering iron and this, with that he pulls out a zippo lighter from his hoodie pocket. Next time this happens they'll be in for a surprise.

Conner, Wiki, Ishtar, and Glenda seem to be off.

How about Mordecai, what does he do, given that a valuable pseudo-companion as been left behind?

Mordecai followed along with the others as they get into the parking garage and then disappear into the crowd. He then stops and waits to see if Schlomo is on his tail. After several minutes, when it becomes apparent that the golem didn’t follow, the rabbi wrings his hands in agitation and worry.

He looks at the others. "I can’t leave. Not without Schlomo. I’m not abandoning him to the Amalekites! I need to go back inside. This old Jew still has some tricks up his bekishe..."

Mordecai begins to move away from the crowd, looking for somewhere secluded nearby.

"That wasn't in doubt honey," Esther retorted, "You just sounded like you were going to scamper off on your own."

Empathetic to Mordecai's need to go back for Schlomo, Esther said to the rest, "If you three want to go ahead first and do the research, we'll catch up with you. But we're going to give Mordy a hand with his little Slow-Mo, aren't we?" She was addressing her assistant, who handed to her what must be the daintiest .25 caliber handgun ever made, in pink. "I carry a little Taurus in my purse too." She confessed in a peal of laughter.

Rabbi, do you really think your 'tricks' are up to four heavily armed men with combat training? Glenda spits. I'm sorry, but just blindly charging in is asking for a double scoop of trouble. With sprinkles on top.

With that, she furrows her brows a little.

Wiki, can you tell what the crowd inside is like? Are they getting restless, panicking, freezing up? If we can use the sleepers as a distraction, we can at least plan a little.

Hmm... If I can't do it from home, home must come to me. She starts to fiddle with her wristwatch, then she looks around for any sleeper witnesses. Seeing none she unzips the big side pocket in her jacket. She pulls out a laptop covered with stickers, and after some extra rumage around, with her hole arm inside the pocket, she pulls out a laptop messenger bag.She sits down with the laptop in her lap.
Right, let me get into the local wifi... to easy
Then into the system.... escalate privileges...pivot into security... aaaand.... there! I got security cams

Wiki turns the laptop around showing security feeds from the festival area.

Mordecai stops in mid stride when Esther interjects with her suggestion. He turns to her as she brandishes her sidearm. "I can step beyond this sephira and access the Hekelot to reach Schlomo..." The rabbi, somewhat frazzled, considers for a moment. "In goyish terms, I’ll step sideways into the Penumbra. Maybe we can surprise them..."

He then turns toward Glenda. His eyes narrow and he’s about to give this shiksa a piece of his mind until he hears Wiki speak. "Can you see inside?! Can you see Schlomo?!"

Holy shit! What happened?
The images show that the police and the 'financiers' in the room have been obliterated in some kind of non-physical explosion - the papers aren't scattered, but the bodies are shredded.

Wiki tries to cover her tracks before the issue the rewind command.

@Wiki: Int+computers makes sense, and I'll drop the DC from 8 for each success on a second Wits+Hypertech Roll

@Ester: without Correspondence, your Time Sight only works where you are. Note: the scene in the computer looks just like your previous use of Time Sight

Wiki runs some masking programs with strange symbology, but she is still the newest MAC address on the network
