[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6569605, member: 4936"] Following sedately in the troll's wake is a ripple in the air; the hint of a female outline just barely visible if you know where to look. In the meatworld, Echo is barely there at all...just a ghostly presence wrapped in ruthenium polymer and ballistic fibers. If you want to see Echo, the true Echo, you must look into the Matrix. There, the dark and dirty alleys are overlaid in paths of light, with the icons of programs and passerbys flitting constantly past. Far overhead in the blank black sky is the giant orb of the Grid Overwatch, constantly scanning the traffic below for signs of malcontents. Here, Echo is another creature entirely. A swarm of orbs of varying sizes, all orbiting one another in such a way as to create a humanoid form. Each orb is a little different than the others. This one has a stripe of another color along the equator, and that one looks metallic instead of simply glossy. Keeping count is impossible, the way they constantly rotate and jostle each other. Hundreds? Thousands? Well before they'd arrived, Echo had switched her persona to run 'silently,' no longer broadcasting itself to the other denizens of that electronic elysium. Because it was still affecting the Matrix, a sharp-eyed observer might notice it...but Echo was even more skilled at being unseen in the Matrix than she was in the dry, dreary world of flesh and blood. As the team approaches the warehouse, Echo sends a flotilla of those little spheres out and they zip around, assessing the warehouse's Matrix presence. Such an old abandoned building shouldn't have any real activity online. Maybe a few RFID sources from boxes or products that hadn't been moved and the batteries hadn't run down yet. Certainly nothing like a host system or server would have. Discovering such a thing would do a great deal to bolster their mysterious client's claims. (OOC - Matrix Perception. 13 dice. 5 successes. 13d6 → [2,1,6,1,1,6,2,4,1,5,6,2,5] [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4804498/[/url] ) [/QUOTE]
