1km circle is pi square kilometers. Assume we're fifteen meters up on the roof, doesn't fuck it that much, really. Thirty or fourty minutes at the outset.

No, I mean, air is a shitty medium for sonar. We'd be lucky to get a 100m range through unobstructed air - 1 km through buildings, with urban noise, just isn't feasible. Any info would be massively drowned out by the noise - it's not really a question of power.

OK, how about we quickly go to Kuroki's last location, look around with our eyes, make a "Book of Everything About Kuroki" to see if it picks up any clues there might be lying around just like it can pick up words.
If that doesn't work, just hope Masami gets better luck tomorrow.
Hiroko's an illusionist. Maybe she'll find Kuroki.
At any rate, Kirikabuythings/Kokotalk/Mikunivisithugthemhoes?

No, I know that's what you mean. I'm a shitty physics okay? But can we do it non-physics-based? I'm asserting that the area is small enough to be manageable.

That's about the absolute limit of my willingness to go along with this, but alright.
Honestly, assuming she's still in the Industrial District seems hopelessly naive. She's not from Mitakihara originally at all, remember? Combine her traveling with her hiding based power, and my theory is that she's running from something. Maybe parental abuse?
In any case, I don't think Mitakihara was her planned final stop - just the place that in most timelines, her luck runs out.

If you're looking for people, go for backscatter gamma. We have the technology for effectively infinite detector contrast ratios. A meter of dense concrete attenuates gamma down to .01 original intensity, which means we can probably get a good image using a fully human-safe pulse through, eh, four or six meters of concrete. We can produce a collimated - even coherent - source, which pushes our range way out. I'm not even sure it'd be hax, based on what Firn said about the nanomechanical cantilever array. Could be a pure-physics construction.

We can do a non-physics based scan, but it'll have a 100m limit, same as all the rest. Barring the very small chance that she's around the corner of where her phone broke like a week ago, the best we'd find is... well, the phone itself. We could have Ms Pixels pry it open to reconstruct her message history, I suppose, but that wouldn't happen tonight.

I mean, this is my whole point. We go look. If we find nothing in the vicinity, we aren't finding anything without too large a time investment. Long run she'll witch here, we'll seed her and eventually dewitch her.

I'm not in optical physics, but wouldn't that increase the danger of the gamma radiation proportionally to the range increase?

If we find the phone we can just power it up ourselves with grief. Defeating a mobile's pin is also well within our capabilities.

Well, it's non-ensouled information that's within our range...
Without postcognition (which I very much doubt we have), we wouldn't be able to reconstruct the saved data if the physical storage medium was damaged beyond a certain point, though.
Miss Pixels hax can probably overcome that, but I don't think we can.

Exactly the opposite, in fact. They key measurement is absorbed energy. To get a certain quality of image, you need some amount of energy to arrive to be reflected enough that we can see it. With a broad source, your intensity drops with the square of the range, so to go twice as far you have to put out four times as much energy, which is super dangerous for people nearby. However, with a coherent source, the energy doesn't spread out, so the energy you need at the target is the same energy you put out and nobody's in danger anywhere.

That point is pretty far, actually, but yes.

Hmm. Could be used to construct a fairly detailed 3D overlay of the surrounding area, including people, then. Defeated by any kind of magical cloak that affects the EM spectrum, though.

Not any kind. Absence of data is presence of absence is data.

That's pretty much exactly it, yes. If we combine time-of-flight (fire pulse, wait for pulse to return, like with sonar) with computed tomography (take images from multiple angles and do a reconstruction) we can probably get a ridiculously accurate scan of the surrounding area.
I'd expect a full-spectrum EM cloak to be conceptual in nature. Kind of annoying that we don't have Sayaka here to test on.

If she has a conceptual full-spectrum EM cloak, we are fucked and by extension so is she. This is about the maximum effective tactic we can perform within reason.

I'm not so sure about that. We could have Mami ribbon the entire industrial district, for example. Might be a good idea to ask her to do that while we're griefing anyway.

That would cause excessive disruption of normie activity. Like creating infinite chickens.

[x] Visit Kuroki's last known location in person.
-[x] Use grief constructs to locate her phone, if it's within 100m of the area.
--[x] If located, attempt to use grief to read the stored data. Do not show to Mami in case of witchbomb.
-[x] Generate an area scanner that works on actual physical principles to construct a 3D map of the region.
--[x] Analysze for misplaced teenage girls (grief analysis may function once data is within 100m).
-[x] If nothing of real note is found, continue, else, break for vote.
[x] Talk to Mami about Kyouko training Sayaka once you're alone.
-[x] Personally: Kyouko is getting better, recovering from what happened to her family. Yuma. You think you can set things up such that they reconcile. You'll stay, of course - this isn't a replacement.
-[x] Practically: Kyoko is very skilled at melee in particular, and is located nearby. Sayaka needs a consistent base to build her varied powers upon.
[x] Go with Mami to buy the things Kirika wanted and visit the Mikunis.
-[x] Privacy field. While there, broach the subject of Asunaro. Give Oriko an out in case of Witchbomb.
--[x] Only commit to visiting tommorow if it's urgent.
[x] Head home
-[x] Chill a bit, then let Mami know Homu wanted to chat a bit: you'll be right back.

Not really out of the realm of reason, though. True Invisibility that doesn't muffle sound at all or whatever is totally in line with the conceptual layer that even low-key guca powers operate on.

It's too large, yeah. This should cover at most half of Redshirt's vote, I think.
