Google maps on an iPhone. Dee reaches out and opens space.
12-23 23:32:13 John Dee rolls 7 dice to Portal 11 - 4 known 3 successes
8,5,3,5,8, 10,1,1
He steps out to Sacramento. He sighs to himself. Normally I am almost done by now. John walks out from behind the McDonald’s and looks around. He starts walking.
12-23 23:47:57 John Dee rolls 13 dice to Multi Tasking Mind 2 successes
2,3,10,7,6, 8,3,7,5,2, 3,6,5,3
He concentrates again and again, eyeing the buildings, the people on the street, scrutinizing as he wishes. And then he separates the thoughts and lets them run side by side simultaneously. He heads into the city. Wandering, taking it all in. He was looking for a supernal footprint; something that signifies paranormal activity.
“This might take awhile” he mumbled to himself.

-Narrator-
Though it takes a while, D does eventually spot a rather potent resonance inside an upscale hotel. It is coming from one of the lower floors and somewhere near the center of the building.

D. studies the hotel intently (extended scrutiny) trying to determine age and any significance of the architecture as he continues with his walk. He mumbles out a melody to him self (clear of others) of Atlantean jargon (High Speech) and begins to weave the threads of a near by alley close to his own.

John Dee rolls 14 dice to Create New Thread + HS 5 successes
10,2,8,2,6, 7,3,7,7,10, 9,2,4,9,5, 2
Satisfied with the new connection, he continues his arcane melody and pulls his vision from himself and looks down himself and the area.
12-24 09:57:43
John Dee rolls 14 dice to Angle Vision + HS 6 successes
5,1,8,8,3, 8,7,2,4,10, 6,10,7,6,2, 10,5
By adding Mind 3 Multi Tasking Mind (which I have on) I can use this vision while maintaining my own vision.
He maneuvers around a corner into a small alcove. He strides forward ripping space and stepping on to his oil rig.
12-24 11:54:41
John Dee rolls 10 dice to Portal Attain 2 successes
5,1,3,6,10, 2,5,9,6,2, 1
He settles downs on the edge swinging his feet in the gulf breeze. Hurricane Ike had been kind enough to set this rig adrift.
He begins ripping space apart all around him. Open windows and setting up his observation post. His vision has headed off into the hotel.
Window 1
Bird's Eye view of the hotel.

D. focuses on the resonance intensely scrutinizing it while monitoring the others and maintaining his distance vision. He is in his supernal zone. Pulling and weaving spatial strings about him while mentally dancing through those strings.

As D prepares the final window to look into the area where he believes the resonance to be there is a sudden snap. His magic is torn to shreds as it reaches towards it's intended location. There is a brief moment in which D gets the distinct impression that someone is now aware of his attempted intrusion.

D. reels as the threads snap he looses this zone and blunders his arcane dance. "Fuck me!!” He instinctually begins to chant and weaves his defense as he drop is remote vision in the hotel. Fraying space, removing his area from the normal patterns, he builds his bulwark.

John Dee rolls 14 dice to Ward + HS 7 successes
8,2,1,4,6, 3,2,10,1,8, 10,2,8,7,10, 3,9
“What the hell was that?” he wondered. Nothing has ever dropped his view through the cracks. He eyed the space around him, looking for dimples, a distortion, or a pair of prying eyes.
He looked at the threads that bind him; checking for new ones, searching for insidious tendrils that could connect him to malignant forces.

John shakes has he looks himself over. Unsatisfied he rechecks himself over and over again until he can focus and account all threads. “Get a grip.” He whispers to himself.
Calming down he tries to piece the events together: location, hotel, hotel owner, guests, investors in the property, and history of the land. He needed to do some more research.
He pulled out his laptop. Let’s hear it for Verizon. He had a signal. He spent time research the pieces he felt pertinent.

As Dee, is researching, he suddenly hears the sound of footsteps behind him. By the sound of them, the person who is making them doesn't intend to hide himself.

As Dee turns ready to fry this intruders noodle or flee depending on what he sees he wonders "How they fuck".

Standing before D is a man dressed very nicely in khakis and a shirt, tie and sweater combination. He is an African American gentleman with a tidy looking beard, a handsome face....and a pair of stuffed animals in his arms.
He asks D, "You need something?"

"Well you are a rude one, treating me that way in a hotel and then barging in uninvited with Fluffy and Sparkles in arm. I have not even set a table for your tea party" As Dee speaks he is using his other focus to scrutinize this intruder.

The man stares at D impassively.
"And you sir are a fool for barging into my sanctum with your unwanted eyes. I should imagine that you are lucky that Angel Dust didn't send you something to remember her by...permanently. What is more important at the moment is whether or not you are friend or foe, and whether I need to be rid of you here and now."

Continuing to scrutinize the intruder John replies "Ah yes a public hotel for a private sanctum what a novel idea, let me write that down. As for referring to you teddy as Sparkle I apologize and stand correct Angel Dust is much more fitting. I have no idea who you are, but this is not a public derelict rig afloat 3000 miles away from HOTEL SANCTUM. So explain to me why I should not feel as if you are the foe?"

John's scrutiny reveals under this mans unassuming form a rather impressive aura of power. He feels vibrant, almost so much so that everything around him seems colorless. What is however more interesting is that the two stuffed animals he holds are also emanating a strange kind of energy as well. They don't feel like they have magic cast upon them. It is more like they are emitting their own auras.
"I don't know who you are, but if you are responsible for what happened, I swear to you that all the tasteless jibes in the world will not save you from me! Answer me! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING!!!!"

"I am a mage with the Mysterium, I doubt I am the responsible party but please do tell what are you so bent about.... " John pauses "Now your turn, sir"
"This guy and stepped through space and track me down, no one ever has done that, if he wanted me dead I would be. I doubt he has much in the way of Mind, or he would not be asking me these things, he would be prying them from me. Who the hell is the duel teddy wielding yuppie freak?" Dee wondered. "I am going to test him."
John reach in to the bear wielding man's mind to search his thoughts... looking for clues and mental pitfalls. John weaved mana into his spell in an attempt to cloak it.

(Man rolls 4 dice to attempts to see through Failure
3,5,4,3)
(Angel Dust rolls 4 dice to Sees through Magic 2 successes
8,7,3,10,6)
There is a moment when the spell almost goes through. The man seems almost oblivious to the incoming mind spell. Then, one of the dolls in his arm looks at D!
(Angel Dust rolls 14 dice to protects man. 5 successes
9,4,5,1,4, 7,8,6,9,8, 2,3,10,5,4)
There is a flash and the spell is violently torn to shreds by a force unknown to D.
The doll then looks straight at D and says, "That wasn't very nice, playing tricks on Mr. Wellmer."
The man looks down at the little stuffed animal and says, "Thanks Angel Dust." Then he turns his baleful glare on D and says, "Try that kind of trickery again and I assure you that you will find the experience far less pleasant. If you are of the Pentcle, then why were you spying on me?"

"To be spied upon assumes that you were trying to be some what private. Me checking out a massive supernal beacon in the middle of town is not spying sir. You on the other hand have broken through all my defenses and found me 3,000 miles away in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I merely wandered in to a public hotel to stare at the supernal light show. So who here is a spy. And now I am at the unpleasant disadvantage of having no idea who I am calling a spy and a rather potent one at that."

"I am not spying. Considering the losses in the city, which I assume you're aware of, I was more than a little worried you might be one of the ones responsible. If you wanted to see the light show, then why did you not simple come to my sanctum and ask to be shown in, I wonder?"
He pauses for a moment as if to consider something. Then he shakes his head a forges on ahead.
"However, your intrusion aside, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to at least be courteous to a fellow Pentacle. My name is Calligan Wellmer, and I am the Ambassador of the Free Council here in Sacramento. And in case you are wondering, I will be checking to find out if your membership in the Mysterium is legit."

Silence, and nothing around. That is this corn field. Somewhere in the pre-dawn light, a dog barks in the distance, and then nothing.

There is no sound for several tense moments. For what seems like hours, the only thing around D is the field. He feels no pokes or prods against his wards. Perhaps he is safe....
