Case of the Psychic's Lament, Pt 2

We pack up the equipment, locking the customer's house. It would be foolish to leave that behind while we investigate these lights and other odd items we've found. To maintain the cover, and the business, we leave a note telling the customer that we locked the doors but had to pull out the heavier equipment. The reason we give them is that they have a "Class 5 Free-roaming Phantasmal Raccoon" infestation, and we just need to confirm this.
 
Once we had the gear locked up, we made our way after the lights and phenomenon on foot. Which let Psypher and myself move more subtly.
 
Along the way, Psypher sees someone moving through the bushes. We leave them but continue in our cover IDs. It's masking enough for now. We follow the lights along until they come up against a privacy wall or fence. Only the lights move through the wall. I try and cloud the mind of anyone nearby to help conceal our actions. Not fully invisible, but enough that people will look elsewhere hopefully. But still, the strange lights move through the wall as if it's not there.
 
Oddly, there isn't many security cameras. Just at the gates. Psypher heads over the fence while I keep watch. An armored figure teleports by. Years ago, that would have been unusual. This isn't years ago. These days there is more than one around with power armor of some kind. He didn't seem a threat, so I marked him in my mind but
 
We continue along after the sparkles, following it along toward the diner, low to the ground. I couldn't tell if they dipped below ground or not. The PKE meters weren't making sense with what they are detecting with regards to the light trail.
 
Just then, I get a text from Bourne. He's warning me about something happening in Metropolis. Then asked if I've heard about Hammer Empire being up to anything right now. Which, there isn't. They had a mission against AIM some months back but AIM has left the city, and Hammer Empire went quiet. So I replied briefly that I knew something was happening but confirmed that 'no' Hammer Empire was not involved. Since there is someone with power armor nearby, I kept my texting brief.
 
I suspect Bourne is nearby. That is consistent with his type of messages.
 
So, I send Psyhper to head for the playground to make sure the lights aren't going to harm the kids. At the same time, I noticed the lights head back to North. I move to Columbia St to head for the utility access and sewer cover on the sidewalk. Theoretically, there should be a junction down there to support the businesses there. I suspect there could be a hologram or low frequency generator below ground. It could cause the emissions along with extreme signal transmissions we heard at the house.
 
There isn't any cover and the traffic along the street is busy enough, that someone might accidentally fall down any open manhole cover. So, I wait until I have a good chance to open the cover, to give me access to the sewer. While I wait, I cloak myself to avoid suspicion.
 
Underground access seems off. Seems unusual and too much work for something this elaborate. I may need to ask Psypher if he can come back to help me and if Chameleon can get here.
