In a way, she enjoyed this part of a mission. The long wait. Hours upon hours of being able to do<em>actual busywork</em>. Out here, she didn't have to stare at a wall for hours. She got to stare at an a map of little-shanghai, a scope that could see almost half the city, and a hundred other things besides her ceiling. All of it was relevant, which made streaming it to her little pad worth the slight security risk.<br/><br/>That was the benefits of Overwatch, however. Ninety percent of the job was doing recon from a high vantage point; getting enemy movement quickly and easily, and informing the ground forces of new developments. Jane's hardwired suit made her ideal for this sort of job, because she left such a small Mesh footprint. Her teammates were all over the mesh, but Jane didn't even use it for recreation. The only footprint she had now was the secure data transmissions between her and the rest of the team, and Firewall kept this sort of data transmission incredibly secure. Though she was well equipped for sniping, shooting people was only a secondary task in this sort of assignment, and was essentially a backup for when the shit hit the fan.<br/><br/>Normally, this kind of work was done with a Spotter; a person that kept a lookout while Jane had her eye parallel with her barrel, but Jane hadn't trusted someone that much in years. Her suit was the best replacement she had, but its AI was a far from an actual person keeping watch.<br/><br/>The first thing that came in was the coordinates to the Noodle-Shop. She loaded it onto the map of the city she had loaded onto her Ecto, and turned slightly, getting a clear view of the location with the high-powered scope of her rifle. "Hunh. An octopus." Jane mumbled to herself, watching Antimony arrive shortly after. "Annnd a pod. Fuuun."<br/><br/>Shortly after catching sight of her, the Jabber updated with Antimony's pilfered public surveillance key. "Well hey, not bad for a pod." She said in an approving tone, taking a bit of time to setup a small array of camera feeds. Public surveillance was extremely useful to her, and not just for tracking people. One or two of the ones she found focused on the actual tower she was on, giving her enough Intel to relocate to a slightly better position if needed. ((A setup for her Sousvelliance stunt.)) Jane quickly integrated the camera feeds into small data-points on a map of little-shanghai, and returned her attention to the conversation, watching people arrive and taking note of their appearance, morph, etc.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Drop:</strong>@Antimony - Good work, this surveillance will prove helpful.<br/><strong>Drop:</strong>I'm now in position. If you find yourself in a conflict without my knowledge, ping me your location. If you are in the line of sight from the city's center-most Comm's cable, I can now provide firing support. In the meantime, send me an audio feed, and I can listen in on the noodle shop meeting.<br/><strong>Drop:</strong>I'm getting a view of the abandoned site that Anima mentioned now. Standby for a video transmission.<br/><hr/><br/>Jane marked down the abandoned site on her map. That was enough to go on; perhaps between Antimony's graciously given Tacnet Feed and her rifle, she could get a good bead on what the situation looked like down there.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Notice</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-02-14 16:10:27, FarFetched (uid: 56764) rolls: 4d3a-8 Result: -1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=85686)<br/>Total: 3(Notice) - 1(Roll) + 2(Suverted Panopticon) = 4</div></div>
