Andromeda was enjoying her early morning drive. She did not go straight to the pick up point, but rather drive trough some sharp curves and tight corners, she wanted to get her blood going and there was no other medicine for that as pure adrenalin. Thou, she new she was good enough at the wheel not to crash so it was not as refreshing as she had hoped.
The whole Conversation about gas problems was easily ignored, at least she arrived at the pick up point for Cookie.
>> You know, a good Gas mask you can get in your local Mall, just 200 bucks. We Live in Seattle after all. The Chem suits sound nice, but they are too expensive for my taste.<<
@Pulse >> Can you release the gas half a hour before we arrive? They would not have the chance to refill and the museum would be in disarray. Even when things fall apart they would seldom let Aztech wait, so i guess it could only work to our benefit.<< Andromeda sent while looking for Cookie in the spot he had sent her to be at.

Quote from: OOC
All items with are not F or R can be bought freely, if the Avalibility is low - like 0 for Gas masks - you can get it in every supermarket.

Tsk'ing to himself as he looked at the time, he grabbed his gear, whilst tucking a thermos into his bag and all making a beeline straight out the door.
@all:Anyway running a little late due to getting caught up dealing with this, let me know if people want anything, Andromeda I should just be coming around the corner in 2 minutes, I'm not usually this late.

Later that day Kitten is called by the museum for a trid-interview. "We received your application this morning. Thank you for showing interest in the position. Have you worked in delivery much? Your Resume states you have plenty of logistics experience, where did you gain that experience? What do you think you could bring to our team here at the museum, are you confidant in your manual handling skills with heavy items?"

The interview continues as such, please roll Etiquette and Negotiation/Con along with how you handle the questions.

"I've worked logistics with mercenary companies," Kitten said, "while I don't have any formal education in it, if you have to make sure a full battallion has enough food and fuel in Lagos, you have to be able to organise and mostly, improvise.  And that's what I'm bringing to you, the ability to quickly improvise if things go wrong.  And in my experience, despite planning, they always do.  One late delivery and you have to redo the whole programming."

The rest of the interview she tried to give the impression that she indeed knew what she was talking about, often using examples from her time with the Marauders.  Mostly from her time in Lagos, when she had been an officer and more involved in those matters.

if bargaining specialisation is applicable:

doesn't really matter  :(

"To be honest with you, you're the best applicant we've received. Would you be able to start tomorrow so we can get you up to speed?"

"That should be no problem," Kitten said, being relieved, "I have two extra questions though.  First, at what time?  Second, what's the salary?"

Listening the tune in the radio Andromeda waited for Cookies arrival. The music was OK, not the best you could have, but still better then some of he garbage you could hear on the public radios these days.

As cookie arrived she opened the door trough her Link to the car. "Long time no see. Any new from Gibbon? Still have no pick up point for him. And it seems we have some time to kill until we do. Care for a shooting exercise or something?"

Nodding to Andromeda as a greeting as he got in and put his bag down in his lap.
"I have no objection to some shooting practice, as for Gibbon he should have got the message, but he's probably not looked at his commlink yet, as far as I know, he expects us to to pick him up in Bellevue somewhere, which he'll probably tell us exactly where when he's ready before 9." pausing in mid-thought " I'll start worrying when it gets to 11am and we've had no response."

When Gibbon got up at 7:48, and realized that Cookie didn't tell him where to go in Bellevue, he sent a text to him. >>Turn from 104th Ave NE on NE 8th St going east, i'll be on the corner.<<

Cookies commlink buzzed in his pocket, causing him to look at it, snorting to himself he started typing  a few commands into his commlink.
Looks like he just told me where..
as he passed the information across to Andromeda's own commlink.
...so you still want to start early or shall tell him we'll meet at 9 am still?

"It's minimum wage," They say this like that is somehow a good thing. "Come round tomorrow at 5pm, security will check you SIN and direct you to me."

"Okay, will do," Kitten said, before closing the connection.  It was to be expected and she wasn't in it for the money.  Actually she was, but not their money.  And she hadn't told them she was awakened either, otherwise the salary would be higher.

She sent a message to the rest of the team:
@all: I'm accepted for the job in the museum.  Start tomorrow at 5 pm.  Let you know more after.  If you need me in the meantime, let me know.

As Gibbon neared the meeting point, he suddenly got a thought and sent a text message to Rorek. >>Hey, man, could you do me a favor while i'm on recon? I'd like to acquire a taser, but not just a stock model. I need a smart Defiance EX Shocker modded for semi-automatic fire, equipped with improved range-finder and skinlink. And don't forget, it be for dwarf. Cheers, amigo.<<

When he got the message from Pulse, he thought back at the job parameters, and remembered something. @all: >>Hey, Pulse, you might be the man. When we met the Js i tried to get more intel on them but i was distracted and my cyber-mojo ain't that good. Could you scan for more on Diego and his father? I tried to look for info by using the father's picture and his address but i couldn't put a name behind the face. Then i tried to look for info with the picture, plus Aztechnology and archeology as keywords. Think it could be useful to know our employer better?<< He sent the picture of the older Johnson to Pulse. It was good quality, Gibbon obviously invested in his gear.
