Fascinated at the interplay of the magic ritual being performed, Grunyon continues to study it on the Astral for a little longer. He senses the danger, but still feels that there is much here that he could learn if he could only take the time to really check things out.

He does hear X's criticism about using proper codes, and briefly flinches about his mistake. "One, Two. Oops, acknowledged."
However, his reverie is broken by Leesons statement about Vampires being in with casters. Block responds, "Leeson - I'm sorry man, but there are too many for us to take on, and they've had time to prepare defenses. Unless you have some trick up your sleave that I am unaware of, she's already gone. I think you should be worrying about the peeps that are left back at your home."
Ace's comment about putting one thousand NuYen down on surviving the run, is what finally spurs Grunyon to action. Money! "Ah, Ace," he thinks to himself, "there's an idea worth chasing."
Block switches back from the Astral view to normal vision, then says into the channel with Tiny, "Prime, Two. Three has a point. A good point. Tell your Angels that they might want to get in on that side bet, too. We can stick a few more minutes so you can get that rolling, and then we pop back over the wall in front of those cameras so they can collect. I don't have a thousand, tho, so put me down for three hundred, please."
He thinks for a second, then adds, "Just tell us when that's done, so we can evac. This is getting scary in here."

Because he suspects he will need his sustaining focus really soon, now, he absent mindedly checks his sustaining focus to make sure it is present and close to hand. |
