(assuming) the party continued on down the highway towards the checkpoint. Not seemingly long after Basil's body went limp, it staggers. His eyes open and he takes only a moment to regain his composure. You are now 10 miles to the checkpoint.

I am Basil Kane! Hear me roar!
well Basil what did you see? In a groggy voice: "I am Basil Kane, not god." <some throat clearing> "In other words there's a Spirit of Man over the site, a few dozen devil rats roaming around and 5 humanoids amongst the various junk piles. As for the Vans.... couldn't get closer than 150 meters, not that they would show up easily in Astral Space. As for the check point... we should try it. If everyone effects a bored and non-suspicious manner we should be fine. We just need a destination point if they ask us. Stow any visible weapons under Shadowtank."

"Checkpoint it is." In the end, it was a better strategy than risking damage to the van or the team prior to confronting the Halloweeners.
While Kimiko drives, she stows her second weapon under the driver's seat. The checkpoint it was, so she pats the inner pocket of her suit to make sure her fake SIN was where she kept it. The second one was at home, waiting to be pulled from cold storage when the usefulness of the current one ran out. She hoped that wouldn't be too soon, these things weren't cheap.
Kimiko checks her speed, staying a scant five miles above the posted limit. That was the best way to go. Too slow, the cops got suspicious and could pull you over. Too fast, the cops got suspicious and were even more likely to pull you over.
The checkpoint was approaching. "We're getting close. Make your last adjustments." Kimiko made hers by pulling her skirt up a couple inches. A little extra skin could go a long way.

Even at night the toll booth is lit up as if it were the middle of the day. As your vehicle approaches, a troll dressed in an "official toll persons" uniform stands to indicate where the vehicle needs to stop. He looks under the van as the toll keeper scans the van briefly. The "¥5" sign lights up. The toll keeper seems pleased with Kimiko's tactics and barely removes his gaze from her thighs. "Where ya headed cutie?"
A quick scan of the area reveals 3 other bays, each with an "official" looking troll and 2 men and a woman toll keepers. You make out the front end of a Star patrol cruiser behind the rest building for the crew. (I need to know if anyone is looking astrally or recording anything.)

((My Astral Eyes aren't!))
<shudder> By Zeus' calloused thumb! Kimiko's braver than I'll ever be. I just hope he doesn't start to drool.

Though she had hiked her skirt up on purpose, on taking note of the guy's attention, she pulls the skirt down, pretending to be self-conscious. "Touristville." She replies, giving the guard a pleasant smile. "I have a meeting with a client."

The man looks over at the troll, who gives him the thumbs up. The man presses a few buttons on a console and tells you to pass along. You are now 50 miles from the junkyard.

Kimiko smiles. And she hadn't even had to use her fake SIN. "Catch you later." She replies. She starts to drive toward the junkyard. "Okay, that went well." She says to no one in particular. "So what's the intell on the junkyard? What and how many do we have to contend with?"
(And congrats.)
