Moving my questions here, so as not to clutter IC too much.
1) Does/did Taylor sense the presence of a demon when Gale was lurking around? Even if she didn't narrow down on it?
Yes.

If I'm reading their backgrounds right, I'd guess...
Gale - Taylor's probably seen or sensed her before, but probably hasn't put together that the vague and non-threatening demonic presense she sometimes senses is Gale.
Riley - Riley knows Taylor is suprisingly strong and fast, and has taken out vampires one on one, but knows nothing of Slayer lore, and has only recently come around to believing vampires are real. Taylor and James probably think he's the closest thing they've got to a friend with the police, but don't know how far to trust him yet.
As for the NPCs of any note...
Dawn - this isn't the first time Taylor met her, but the last time was when you were training with some of the other Slayers, between the time Faith & Robin found you and the time you moved to San Diego.
Kelly - Riley didn't know her before this case, so no one but Riley has met her before.
Vin the demon snitch (Merle's cousin) - Taylor has met him before, but they don't get along.
Gale has no knowledge of, or interest in Riley at the moment. She hasn't met him, and would have had no reason to interact with him so far given that Demons tend to avoid the cops to stay off the radar and that Gale doesn't really do anything against the law...aside from stalking a vampire slayer
Gale is not part of any team, and would only have a vague sense of Gavin, and even she and he are unlikely to have met more than once or twice. He would know she is part of the alrge family of slyphs that moved to town within the last few years.
Dave, does Gale hear or notice anything interesting going on in the hospital?
Depends if Taylor decides to go look for Gavin, or waits for his shift to end and have him come looking for her. If she waits, it's likely she'll see Riley and Kelly leave before Gavin finds her, but that's dependent on what Riley and Gavin do. Also depends on how interesting she thinks the 'normal' events at a hospital are (and Scripps is one of the better hospitals in San Diego, so there may very well be people with interesting but mundane medical problems).
Also FYI, James is a few hours ahead of everybody else. He's around noon; the rest of you are at about 9:30 am.
Gale is looking for interesting in the sense of 'this could be the reason taylor showed up' anything that could have been caused by something super natural.

She doesn't see anything right away, though both Gale and Taylor notice there is a police car parked near the hospital entrance.
Hmm... it looks like James is going to be out of action for a while, but I think the next logical thing to do (once you're done talking among yourselves) is to hook the rest of you guys up with him.

I'm not sure how to play this.
Well, if we're looking to kill time, it strikes me that there's only so long the group would let Gale follow them (especially since she sets off Taylor's demon-sense) before confronting her in some way, which one assumes would lead into integrating her. Perhaps now is the time to do that, since it wouldn't necessarily require James to do?.
That could work, though it might be easier to convince Taylor to 'take on' another demon if James is around.
That said, I don't plan on being difficult about it.
We will need to see James eventually though. You could NPC him, perhaps...or maybe he's called to the Council for some reason, and they send a temp Watcher in his place?
I kind of figured that Taylor would pick up on Gale in the hospital, its not like the corridors by the morgue are going to be all that crowded. I was kind of hoping though that the other demon would point out that Slyphs are harmless before it gets too far.
Sorry bout that guys, I'm back on duty now, provided things don't get worse again. For future reference, if I do bug out again feel free to npc my character(s) in games as needed.
And just for the record, James is Canadian, not british - Though he went to school in Britain (And trained there with the watchers council), so kinda talks/thinks part Brit
I just got the M&M 2nd edition book today. I don't know if you guys would still accept the werewolf into the group, but skimming the IC thread you aren't even through your meet and greet yet.
I do have a couple questions though about 2nd edition rules:
1. Does the total attack/defense/damage bonus thats based on power lvl mean all mods can only total +8, or does it mean a max of +8 base, +8 stat, +8 power modifier?
2. How much less would shapeshifting cost per rank (normally 8) if it was limited to a single other form (the crinos werewolf hybrid)?
I could have Daniel Wang the rock climbing, zoologist done by sometime tomorrow.

1. +8 for attack, +8 damage, +8 toughness save, +8 defence. With the master approval, you can do some trade between attack and damage or between toughness save and defence. If you want to do a clumsy Hulk, you could easily have +10 to toughness and damage but only +6 to attack and defence.
2. I wouldn't go for shapeshifting. I would rather buy each power individually and then use a drawback to represent your shapeshift ability. Shapeshift is more for a person who can switch to a lot of form.

I don't think I'm looking for any additional players at this time.
The Mecha and Manga PDF for Mutants and Masterminds is now out, and I have to say its outstanding. It has mechanics to fill in some of the holes in the Mutants and Masterminds system, like fleshed out Mecha building rules, rules for varying tiers of play in a single game, transformations, etc.
I really like it a lot. The flavor stuff is really great, it captures a lot of the things that make Anime/Manga as mediums stand out from character quirks to feats and powers that mimic staples like the Flash Step, Substitution, and Shadow Clone powers.
