By Titans' estimation he was only a little past halfway to Chicago's Own when the song finished.
He mentally commanded the commlink to call up a song to help focus on the upcoming meet.

Titan took a deep breath, and held it for a five count. He then slowly released it as his sensei instructed to center himself.
"That is the one."The lot was mostly empty as he walked through it. Only a few vehicles, probably belonging to staff judging by how cheap most of them were, remained.
"Hmm. The artists musta went home. Don't blame 'em with how cold it is out."As he approached the entrance to the jail / pizzeria, Titan mentally checked his chrono.

~/ $"Damn. Earlier than I meant to be... I'll have to work on that. But at least I'm not much earlier."{Music:

"One more to set the mindset." And with that, he entered the doorway a bit loudly cursing in street slang. He stomped hard, alternating feet, to knock off the snow, all the while visually scanning the pizzeria to get a read on the patrons and staff.

Perception: 11d6t5: 5
Judge Intentions: 7d6t5: 4
Trying to get a read on who is "normal," and who doesn't really fit - like the Johnson.
Titan sits at a table and pulls out his flask and takes a swig. He reaches out with his Control Rig to scan the Matrix in the area.

Ideally, Titan will take a table that hasn't been bused yet, but barring that he will pick a table with a decent view of the most occupants.
Switch off silent, the Control Rig is on the local grid.
Matrix Perception: 5d6t5: 1
Looking for the number of silent icons in the area (1 hit required)
Switch to silent running again.
He slowly scans the room taking stills of everyone he can.
Friday, January 4th 2075. 11:24 PM"That table with the street trash and poor gathered around a large pile of empty pizza boxes is a likely target. They ain't teenagers, and there aren't any gang colors or other uniforms unifying them in any other way. And what else would bring a Troll, two Elves, an Orc and a Dwarf together..."Titan focuses his Matrix attention on them and scans them a bit closer to get more information.

Switch off silent running.
Matrix Perception on the group. I'll allow
Mulcarn to determine order, if necessary. Grabbing, in this order:
1) Commcode
2) Grid they are using (Most likely Public, maybe Local)
3) Device Rating
Matrix Perception * 5: 5#5d6t5: 5 # 1 [5d6t5=3, 2, 2, 3, 6] 0 [5d6t5=3, 4, 4, 4, 3] 3 [5d6t5=6, 4, 6, 5, 2] 1 [5d6t5=6, 2, 4, 2, 2] 0 [5d6t5=1, 1, 4, 2, 4]
Looks like 2 failures
3 Commcodes
1 Grid and Device Rating on one of the gained Commcodes.
Trying again on the two failures:
Matrix Perception * 2: 2#3d6t5: 2 # 1 [3d6t5=2, 3, 5] 1 [3d6t5=1, 5, 2]
There we go. Commcodes on all. Grid on 2, and Device Rating of 1.
Switch on silent running again.
Titan swigged from his flask again continuing his surveillance on that group while looking for the Johnson.

Computer Die Pool is 5, so I'm just going to buy a Hit for all the following actions:
Make a new folder for each of the expected Runners. Initially named Troll, M.Elf, F.Elf, Ork, and Dwarf. They will eventually be renamed by eavesdropping and / or introductions.
Move the stills for each to the respective folder.
Make a visual copy of their Commlink Icon.
Start a file listing any other notes I catch, such as Commcode and the like. That will be turned into a dossier later when Titan can do some Matrix Searching.
I'm going to go ahead and roll for the Matrix Perception check(s) on the Johnson.
Different priorities, though:
1) Grid s/he is on
2) Commcode
3) Device Rating
Matrix Perception: 5d6t5: 1
Matrix Perception, try again : 3d6t5: 0 [3d6t5=3, 2, 2]
Bleh. Not meant to get Commcode... Oh well. Maybe later. Dropped.
