"We do not mean to pry, our point was simply that memories seen to make who we are, and I have no memories that are my own. Whatever life I had before becoming legion is lost. Amnesia I think is the best way to describe the feeling."

'Just fracking great,' Kitten thought, 'another loonie.  As if we don't have enough of those.'

"That could be," she said to Legion, "but most shadowrunners don't want to talk about their private live and/or past.  Now, back to the mission at hand.  Silk is good at disguising herself and I can easily assess magical security.  So why don't we go to the museum tomorrow and have a look around, at least in the public areas.  Maybe Cookie and Gibbon can join us in that.  We can go as two couples on a simple standard museum tour.  Andromeda is good at getting vehicles and such, so she can have a look around to get a truck.  Legion can look in the matrix for anything like schedules for arrival and display of the collection and also check out the museum matrix security.  Sounds like a plan?"

"Back to work sounds perfecto, Kitten." Gibbon shook his head once, ever slightly, at Legion. You should learn to remain silent at times, pendejo.
"Going to the museum sounds good. If you suggest couples it might be a good idea to go in different times. I can use my knowledge about security systems to gouge physical security. It might even be possibble to have some basic outline of security protocols, if they use some standard arrangements of sensors and guard routines. I'm also sure that, four days before opening night, they will be in the middle of arranging rooms for the exhibition. It would be a good indicator on which story they store the goods, if not in the basement. Legion's search in the 'Trix could be easier if we have some directions for him where to look." The dwarf continued a bit more thoughtfully. "I'm still interested in both Mr. Johnson's connection to the case, and who they are exactly. Legion, you also good at gathering data? You could compile a profile on those from publicly accessible stuff."

His attention momentarily diverted by Kitten as well
"I'm still happy to tag along to the museum,  however people want to do things I don't mind"looking back towards Legion "Let's save this conversation for some other time."
whilist the line "Preferably later rather than sooner" went through his head
his attention then returned to the rest of the group"I never got the chance to say, other than to Gibbon here, but I just fix people, essentially I'm just a hired gun who has had medical training, military I may add, so screaming won't make me treat you first and pointing a gun at me will just lead to me shooting you, I also have some infiltration experience,on that note I would like to add that I need access to my share of the advance since I need to source some hardware more suited to what we are going to be doing, I would appreciate if someone can help with that, I do have a list." taking a pause for a second to himself" and just for repetitions sake, If you weren't paying attention, I was serious about the gun comment, every person that tried that on me has ended up the worse for it, I don't feel good about it but the number of people who ignore that warning is mind boggling, also please take this comment with a  pinch of salt, you seem an ok bunch, I just don't trust you all fully yet and I'm afraid with good reasons due to my own personal history, not any of yours."

"Sentences, gringo, sentences. Don't you ever take a breath while talking?" Gibbon looked at Cookie with slightly narrowed eyes. "And did i not know better, some of your words might have been understood as threats. Think you should be more careful about that in the future. But don't worry about me, i think i got the message."

"So you've been a merc as well," Kitten said to Cookie, "or were you regular army?  I was with Merril's Marauders, magical healing and later also scouting, in addition to general magical security, like spirits and such."

sighing to Cookie paused only to scratch at his temples
"It's complicated.." as the thought as that pretty much covers as much as I can recall.... as he turned his head to look over at Kitten "..I also haven't gotten off easy, I still have some of the scars, sometimes they get the better of me and  I hate to admit Gibbon makes a point on what I said, I said it that way, as I don't enjoy talking about such things, consider that an apology or as close as I can get." as his eyes flicked away momentarily towards the floor stuck my foot in it again... momentarily taking a breath at the same time before looking back towards kitten then Gibbon then back to the floor before rallying himself back to what could be considered his normal behavior.

Gibbon smiled at Cookie. "No hard feelings, amigo. I know how it is when they point guns at you, and how you cannot always give them what is due for that. Learned that the hard way." Some sourness creeped into the dwarf's voice but it was quickly disappearing as he talked on. "Anyway, i picked up most i know on the streets. I'm good at security sytems, property relocation, infiltration, and covert surveillance, like tailing people."

Silk closed her eyes and turned her head skyward after Legion's response, just letting the others do the talking for a while.
Only now she stepped in.
"Okay, recon sounds good. But first: Legion, at first I thought you seemed nuts, now I just know you are. I tend to avoid working with nutjobs because they tend to get you into more trouble than they're worth... But Diego seems to have done his homework on us, so I guess he apparently thought you capable enough to function like a professional.
Let me tell you something you should try to remember at all times, though: You act and talk like a crazy person. And in your specific case of crazy, the doctors won't just put you in a small white room with soft white walls; they will cut you open to try to find out what makes you tick.
In addition to that, in the hour or so we've been together, I've seen you do three things which could've very well gotten your head blown off.
So, in the future, it's probably best for you not to, well, be yourself... or yourselves... when other people are watching.  For your own safety. Okay?"

The speed and the way she was talking made it seem as if she was what she looked like, a young and probably not too intelligent blond girl who talked faster than her mind worked. The contrast with the woman she seemed to be earlier couldn't be larger.

"Aaanyhow, you all must've figured out by now what my specialties are, only Kitten seems to have forgotten. Good idea visitting he museum tomorrow, but I'll not be going as a couple... got to keep myself available for the people that work there, you see?", the look on her face was shameless.
"As for tags and stuff, wasn't there, like, a grenade of something that painted the wall with some stuff that blocked radio signals, or something? You tech people know what I'm talking about? Won't that be useful?"

Legion looked at Silk incredulously, "Yet here we are, with our heads very much intact. We also were not the ones to delay this meeting... And mercy upon any man who does play your significant other." Legion added with a certain amount of hostility.

He then turned to the rest of the group, "We do, however, agree that recon sounds good. We can send ourselves deep into the Matrix to find the information, about the Johnson and with a little more prep, the museum. If Andromeda wishes, we can assist in acquiring a vehicle also."

"Okay, that's decided then," Kitten said, "as Silk is going in alone, who of you two boys wants to go with me?  Oh yeah, we better not show up all at the same time, as it might be suspicious."

Gibbon grinned at Kitten. "I'll gladly go. How does 10:30 sound? We can have lunch after we finish in there."

"Sounds acceptable, suppose I'll going be going in about just an hour after it opens, then I can catch lunch afterwards with you two, also does anyone know what they've got on display at the moment? The reason is that I'm thinking that we may want to arrange to be in different places at set times during the visit, know that sounds overkill but better safe than sorry since somebody someday may notice something...."
shrugging his shoulders at his last few words.

"Let's have a look," Kitten said as she called up the public node of the museum to check what they had in the way of permanent and temporary shows at the moment.  She also checked to see if there was already an announcement for the Aztlan show.


Assuming here that going to the public node of the museum doesn't require a roll.

When Cookie mentioned he wanted to join the lunch, Gibbon gave him a look, eyes rolling. Aw, man... Loudly, he only said "Checking what's on display is a good idea. You think they'd use the same security measures on similar levels? I'm thiking about checking at least two but i wouldn't want to go through the entire building."
