[[Lucy]], [[Avery]] and [[Verona]] chase after the spirit women that the goblins had dislodged from the car and Verona uses the [[Gate Goggles|Gate of Horn]] to share [[Snowdrop|Snowdrops]] sense of smell so that she can track it better.

The spirit they’re chasing starts pulling in or activating other echo’s that are similar to her, in particular a man hitting a keyboard against a car, somebody with road rage and the mother of the [[Car crash kid|Car Crash Kid]].

They follow it into someone’s garage, Verona has Snowdrop enter first in animal form as an alibi. Searching the various appliances there it is confronted reveals it self as a Spirit of Technological Accidents.

[[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy]] creates her arena and challenges it to a duel, she hits it and dislodges the keyboard warrior and Verona manages to bind it, she repeats the move and Avery manages to catch the mother of the [[Car crash kid|Car Crash]] Echo.
