[22:08] <@BradGM> **yoou figure that the main vox station would be a good bet.** [22:10] * Grendel heads that way, calculating the time lost by not doing this in the first place. [22:11] <@BradGM> **Too much** [22:11] <@BradGM> **The Vox Station is a rather big palce, where tech adepts, servitors and vox experts works to monitor communication across the whole Planet from mundane messages to mroe secret conversation.** [22:12] * Grendel attempts to locate the senior Tech-Adept to explain what he will be doing. [22:14] <@BradGM> **The tech-adpet, some old woman who munerous MUIs conencted to numerous manchine barely elt you beings your explanation and waves to an empty station "Use that one, I'm busy monitoriing!"

[22:20] <@BradGM> **It take you 4 hours but you finally got a triangular scan going.** [22:21] * Grendel mutters binaric incantations and praises to the machine spirit as he watches the triangulation occur. [22:25] <@BradGM> **It takes you a couple of hours beofre you can pin-point the location of the last vox transmission.** [22:28] * Grendel gathers the coordinates and any other data on the location that he can find. [22:30] <@BradGM> **roll inquiry -10 to get some sort of info on the underhive location** [22:33] <@BradGM> **you can get info and a location, some palce called Dwnpour.* [22:33] <@BradGM> ((Downpour)) [22:34] <Grendel> ((Bar, club? Can I get info on who owns it, or since its underhive is the answer "Data unknown" ?)) [22:35] <@BradGM> ((it's hab sector)) [22:36] <Grendel> ((any names linked to it?)) [22:37] <@BradGM> **it is a sector right under the manufactorium, known to have numeorus dangerous chemical downpour.** [22:40] <Grendel> ((hmm. So this is more like a general location rather than a business or residence.)) [22:42] <@BradGM> ((yeah, we're talking about a hive, not a simply city)) [22:43] <Grendel> ((Damn. So it could've just been some guy walking through the area, rather than it being a specific person. Hmm)) [22:44] <Grendel> ((Can I get any data on the commcode at all, like who would own it?)) [22:44] <@BradGM> ((nope)) [22:45] <Grendel> ((Curses!)) [22:46] * Grendel looks for any reports from Arbitrators or Inquisition on the area. [22:51] <@BradGM> **There is nothing much really; a few criminals hide there due to the dangerous downpour of chemical liquids, but the Arbitrator/Inquisaiton don't really go there, leaivng hte dirty work to bounty hunters."

Logic Phrophesizing to see if I'm able to come up with anything helpful?)) [23:00] <@BradGM> ((like what?))

[23:06] * Grendel removes himself from the cogitator machine, murmuring thanks to the machine spirit as he heads towards Mockingbird's living area.
