    Kaze: He can't find any similarities between the two. The drive's own resonance is alien, there are some traces of the Hierarch's own but other than that there's nothing familiar.

    Shodan: Deep in its nest, one of the lesser known spider crawlers has archived a cached version of the thread. Drowned amid a sea of noise, two comments jump to his eyes. The first one is a confirmation of what they've been able to independently assess from their previous meeting. The second one is far more enigmatic. It would have flown under the radar - another piece of spam or trolling - if it wasn't for the shiver that ran through his spine, alerting his peripheral senses. An Oracle in the jargon of the blockchain is a trusted agent, somebody or something who can validate or negate any information. Wits + Occult - 2 to discover that something has been magically encrypted within the message, it's an effect similar to Prime 1 supernal script (you'll need a conjuctional with forces cast of supernal vision to read the ciphertext, once decrypted with a int + computer roll, it will be clear it's an IP)
    Webpage


    The nerd at the other side of the monitor is unmoved by Shodan's keyboard finesse. So comes his rather stoic reply: "Guidelines are that no inquiries about CP, sicko stuff or traceable illegal content are allowed on this board. Your request was reported and flagged as inappropriate"

    It's weird for an Internet comment to trigger Unseen Senses, but try as he might, Shodan is unable to see why exactly. Defeated, he eventually gives up.

    Seems like seeking out a third party is their best lead right now.

    "I got an archived version of the thread with my request for assistance, and the peeps there told me to look for an Oracle. In the language of us computer nerds it means a person or group of persons that feed us legit info. Knowledgeable and hard to get ahold of" Because nothing ever can be easy for a change "I'll ask my contacts if they know of any trusted entity like that nearby, but I'd like to meet with them in the physical world, and we will definitely not be sitting in front of a screen when they give us what we want. Which is where you come in. Considering how well our last adventure went, I'll need some serious backup"

    Then the Libertine shoots a message to one of his people, asking if they know any good Oracle accessible from Sactown, CA.

    Shodan: And there it is, the nagging feeling eating at the back of his skull. Like a hunting dog that doesn't want to let go. The Libertine knows there's something with the message, but for now the solution escapes him.
    Eventually he gets an answer from one of his contacts. It's a single ip address.

    Hanging onto the IP address like a lifeline, Shodan attempts to work some more magic in order to tie the string of numbers to a physical location, or an approximation thereof. It's becoming abundantly clear that they'll have to move from the computer screen sooner rather than later.

    The geolocation protocol pings back an address. It turns out it's a popular nightclub in downtown Sacramento. It is known, from all the evidence they've collected thus far, that the criminal group they've been tracking is using Argon as a front company, operating from a warehouse in Oakland. What they haven't been able to discover - and perhaps this Oracle, somebody who might have ties with the underbelly - is just which warehouse they've been operating from.

    "Got something?" Kaze inquires eagerly to Shodan. "Looks like you got something. Are we going to get physical?"

    Kaze pauses thoughtfully, "If we do, we should let someone know."

    "You bet I got something" says Shodan, not even trying to hide the pride in his voice "There's a club downtown, apparently frequented by the person who knows more about Argon and the people behind it. So I hope you have some snazzy clothes, because we're going for a night out!" It'll be definitely more fun than getting almost killed by a remotely-operated van. More stylish, anyway.

    "I'll take all the support I can get, so if you want to let Alastor or Phoenix know, be my guest"

    Kaze grins, "Great! I will text them both. Maybe you should text the Hierarch or Winter?" he suggests as he begins furiously texting.

    A minute later, Kaze smiles. "Phoenyx is totally up for it, of course."

    "I'll let the Hierarch know, but there ain't no way I'm involving Winter in this. I'll tell him after we've resolved this" Besides, it's not like he could contact the man, other than leaving him a note in the Circle and hoping he'll find it.

    "Sure she is" She was an Arrow, of course she was up for potential ass-kicking. Not the clubgoer type, though - wonder if it'll affect her in any way "So, I'll circulate the name and address of the establishment, and we'll coordinate on the date"

    I have nothiong else to add in this Scene Vincent , I can close it and then we can proceed to a new one?
