The sewer tunnel had a 2 meter diameter, large enough to walk in upright. A ladder led down to the wet floor of the narrow walkway. A lower gullet filled with sewer water ran parallel to the walkway. The place smelled as welcoming as one would expect a sewer to smell. The only light was sunlight trickling down into the dank dark.

After having given the supplies to James that he had brought down Vadim activated the advanced glasses so that he could see what was going on in the tunnel better.  His own shotgun in hand now he had the fire selector set to the tube using normal heavy duty shot rather than the specialized ammo.  Being down here wasn't his specialty, getting people from one point to the next was, but there was a certain rush from doing this that hearkened back to his earlier days before the Syndicate when he was simply in charge of a portion of a Mafiaesque group that he later took over after his indoctrination into the Syndicate.

"Whenever you're..." started Vadim before he muffled a pair of coughs behind a closed mouth, "...ready."

Having finished gearing up with the supplies from the van James descended once Vadim confirmed the all-clear, heading down the ladder and wincing from the pain in his legs when he got to the bottom. He would need to have a checkup when he got out of here. Activating the glasses himself he gave an appreciative grunt before moving clear of trhe ladder to let Ai's...brother down. "Whoever headed down here was bleeding, guessing that's going to be our best method of tracking them. You want point?" Having not worked with the other man in the past James preferred to let him make the choice since he knew what he was capable of better than James did.

Vadim shook his head, "If I was driving a tunnel crawler I would, getting people from point A to point B is my bread and butter, but since I'm not you can have at."

Still Vadim handled the shotgun like he at least knew how to use it properly while covering one way of the tunnel as his eyes sought to see if they could spot the blood without additional enhancement.  If not he would have to enlist the aid of those specialized satellites again for their ground penetrating scanners.

The bipedal creature cleared the ladder with little difficulty, beady eyes blinking to adjust to the low levels of light. He glanced between the two humans, as if taking note and sizing them both up. At the mention of blood, the creature seemed to sniff about, trying to pick up the smell of the spilled bodily fluid over the other inherent smells of the area.

There was a distant drip intermittingly interrupting the relative quiet of the sewers. Sounds upstairs were dampened considerably by being six underground. Without some means of seeing in the dark the tunnel would be nearly dark, save for the light coming in through the manhole and sewergrates set in the pavement letting in a tiny bit of light every 50 meters or so.
Al noticed a spider crawl across the wall. It stopped, frozen when it was caught in the beam of sunlight. Al grabbed the spider and ate it. It didn't taste as good as what he ate at home. He moaned softly, regretting his choice of snack.

(Search rolls for anyone looking for blood down here. If you're not using goggles or other means of seeing in the dark, like .. a flashlight for example it is going to be nearly impossible to navigate succesfully)

Vadin swept his gaze around the tunnel using the enhanced sight characteristics of the shades.  He panned methodically through the various angles that a fleeing HITmark might take if it was wounded, followed by ways to either escape or if it was more interested in ambushing...

OC: Can I just not find the Search skill or is that a trapping for Investigation or Alertness?

(Search was more of a neutral term for any type of skill or ability you want to use to try and track the RD)

OC: Cheers. And add another botched roll to the pil on Perception + Investigation

Vadim noticed a few drops of blood that James overlooked, leading off into the tunnel that ran straight for 10 meters and then split off into two directions.

"I've got blood here." remarks Vadim as he nods his head rather than releasing the grip on his shotgun.  Following the trail up to the division of tunnels he sought to determine which of the two the HITmark had gone down.  The diminishing markings likely meant that all too soon he would have to employ the orbiting satellites to give him a more detailed assessment and layout of where they were going and where it might be.

20:47, Today: Ai Fujiwara rolled 1 success using 5d10 with the World of Darkness 3rd ed system with a target of 6.  Perc+Alert - Al searching.

The large bipedal sniffed about, clawed hands brushing against its face. The smells down here weren't particularly pleasant ones, and made it difficult to pick anything in particular out. However, as Vadim moved on, Al followed close behind.

"Nicely spotted." Heading for the indicated point James hesitated at the junction before tapping his ear bud, adjusting the settings as he tried to filter out the surrounding noises of the sewer and instead focus on those less expected sounds.

OC: 1 Success on the Forces roll

Vadim noticed a small smear of blood in the left direction though he also noted that the amount had  lessened to a rare drop. The trail would run dry soon.

When they stopped at the junction Vadim once again looked around and he pointed to the left and used the sub-vocal aspect of their comms to limit their target from hearing them, "That way.  It's either self-healing or is running out of blood to bleed for us to follow."
