    Shodan

    And just like that, against his better judgement, Shodan stops the car. Still, he remains unconvinced "I don't know what do you expect us to do about it. We should call 911 if you are so concerned and get out of here" Still, Shodan exits the car, now parked on the side of the road and approaches the van. Kaze said something about traps, which warrants a multi-vector preparation. The Prime Mover spends some time weaving spells.

    Still, magic is well and good, but sometimes you have to rely on your... mundane expertise. Glancing at the wreck, Shodan attempts to assess damage and figure out if there's anything 'off' with the vehicle's construction.

    That done, the Libertine moves further towards the van and peers inside.

    The white SUV stands dead against the steel and concrete beam. Its back turned into a trap of steel and aluminium, sheets of metal folded like a can of tuna. Occasionally from the exhaust pipe, mixed with the gas, an orange spark crackles and fizzles like a firecracker in the coldness of the night.
    The direction indicators flip intermittently. All around, broken glass shards and debris. The front of the car, despite the beam cutting it almost into half, looks relatively pristine.
    Both Obrimos weave their protective glyphs. They can see the engine giving out, heat and kinetic energies dispersing and fizzling. Their sights can perceive the heat inside the car, the heating is still on, that's enough to shield whoever form inside from their scrutiny.
    Shodan 's advanced sight can't pierce past the most superficial layer of metal. He can see however that there are no secret compartments in the doors or the trunk. The vehicle is your average luxury SUV. If it wasn't for the dispersed resonance of the spell glyph still hovering above the roof, there would be nothing supernal about it other than the fact it change its color from black to white.
    It's a solid car, the blackened windows barely show a crack.
    Kaze 's recognizes the resonance as being identical to the one he perceived in the encrypted signature. Looking around, the highway seems desert. Both can sense the lingering after effects of a radio connection right on the tip of the now broken wi-fi antenna perched atop the hood of the car.


    Kaze: Mid-Sized Car (Sedan): Durability 3, Size 12, Structure 3, Acceleration 14, Safe Speed 110 (75 mph), Maximum Speed 183 (125 mph), Handling 2-3
    Hacker: SUV/Pick-up Truck: Durability 3, Size 15, Structure 5, Acceleration 13, Safe Speed 103 (70 mph), Maximum Speed 169 (115 mph), Handling 0


    Find the Hidden Hoard is a concentration spell, since spellcasting (without space 2) is limited to the shortest between 200 yards and sensory range, Shodan can see what's under the surface layer but he'll be unable to pierce past that (to discover for example a secret book stashed inside a seat) unless he recasts that spell and keeps it up as he searches the insides of the car.

    Okay, no use standing around here waiting for things to happen. They had their time for scrutiny and raising defenses, now it's time to put them to the test.

    "Car looks clear. Nothing unusual or hidden or anything like that... at least not that I can see" He places himself by the car door on the driver's side and opens them "Be ready" he says to Kaze

    "There's something active on top. Same resonance as what changed the color." Kaze observes. "Could be anything, but if we're doing this, we don't have time to wait around. "

    "Festina lente." Kaze murmurs under his breath as he covers Shodan as the mage tries the door. If he has trouble opening it, Kaze steps up and adds his strength to the attempt to open it.

    "Hey in there." he says to the cracked window. "We're here to help, if you're hurt. Help you get out at least."

    The door opens with a click. The inside of the cabin is dark but unexpectedly warm, alongside a host of malfunctions the display signals the AC is still on. Behind the wheel a man, slouched forward and with his head resting against the rudder, the popped airbag the only thing standing between him and a caved in skull. It smells of burnt and blood.
    The key is still turned on ignite, the noisy engine is still on as evidenced by the crackling sparks of the exhaust pipe.

    Give me a wits + investigation or composure roll to progress. There's a -3 penalty which can be negated either with the trained observer merit or by turning on a light/relevant spells. To examine the man once the light is on, you'll need wits + medicine.

    After turning the engine off (safety first!), Shodan weaves yet another orange glyph, one allowing him to see in the dark without the need of artificial light.

    Still, it does him no good as he tries and tries to find things of use here. Frustrated, he unfastens the man's seatbelt and takes him out of the car, laying him on the ground in a safe position (or what he assumes to be a safe position, given his lack of medical training).

    Then, unceremoniously, he starts to search the guy's pockets and glove compartment for ID of any kind.

    Under Kaze's heightened perception, the cabin of the SUV appears to be a mess of tangled burnt wires, jagged angles and crystal shards.
    The airbags have popped out, but there are still traces of blood both on the wheel and the windscreen. Shodan might have turned the engine off, but unrelenting amid the chaos, the cracked display remains lit, beeping. [Kaze, wits + comp, 2 suxx to notice the beep]

    Shodan: The man - because it's a man - is heavy, so heavy that the Obrimos barely manages to lift him and lay him on the tarmac. His shirt is soaked in blood. A horrible smell of waste lingers around the man, and the Libertine can barely resist the urge to puke let alone retrieve an id-card from the man's trousers.

    Kaze: The Obrimos recognizes how brash Shodan had been. You never want to move the victim of an accident, however what is done is done.
    It's a large male, middle aged, bald, there are few tattoos on his neck [either of you, wits + streetwise to recognize, 1 suxx to recognize they're from a gang]. The collar of his shirt is blackened in blood and there's a deep gash across his forehead. Surprisingly given the state of his shirt, the wound is hemorrhaging very little blood, if at all.
    The man is warm at the touch, but as the Obrimos attunes himself to the pulse of the Primal Wild, he sees... nothing. The man just doesn't register at all. It can only mean one thing. [you're free to inspect the man wits+inv, or wits + comp, or wits + medicine, try to perform CPR dex + medicine]

    What do you do?
