@all: Just waiting to hear back from what Kitten finds now, then that's done with.

”We’re ready with inside recon of public places, matrix, astral, and outside recon of the immediate area. We still have to plan a main route and some contingencies for delivering the goods from the museum to the handover. And for that, we need the handover coordinates, better sooner than later.” Gibbon did sound a bit concerned. ”For non-public areas of the museum, Kitten will probably have more tomorrow.”
After a short pause, he continued. ”Kitten, do you know if those spirits patrolling the premises will have eyes only for astral intruders? Or are they capable of detecting a physical intrusion as well? ‘Cuz, if Pulse handles the ‘Trix, the cams, I’m pretty sure I can avoid physical detection, but I don’t know drek about spirits, so the best I can do is shoot them in the face.”

On a different channel, he sent a text to Silk. >>Hey, chica, glad to have you back on team. Something says that it will be more interesting and profitable to work with you, than with that Rorek guy. Anyway, before he disappeared, I asked him to get me something, in the next few days. Andromeda was kind enough to lend me her taser but I don’t want to wear out her patience, so I’d like to get my own. Attached the specifics, could you help out? Somehow I get the feeling Rorek won’t be delivering.<<
[spoiler=specifications]Original 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.<<

"I'll check as soon as I go to work," Kitten said, "but spirits are mostly there to detect astral stuff.  Unfortunately, humans also show up on the astral, so they can be detected that way.  But if there are guards, they also walk around.  I'll ask around as soon as I can, okay?  One thing, shooting them in the face is probably only going to make them angry.  They're quite tough."

[Punch]

@all: yeah, better to leave dealing with spirits to me or Kitten; being an adept I can handle one or two on my own and Kitten could handle a lot more more just because she's a mage; meaning more tricks up her sleeve.

"As long as they're not bugs," Sammy said, "with those you can take them out while they are all swarming around me.  But let me first check what's at the back before we plan exactly what we're going to do."

[Xzylvador]

PM @ Gibbon: "My favorite kind of weapon, too. I'll see what I can do, okay? You just make sure you got the money."

Getting out of the shower, Silk grabbed her commlink from the sink and walked towards her bed. "We got anyone who can set up a meeting with this ARB guy? Know someone who knows someone? Getting dressed now, need a place to go to soon or I plan something on my own, no time to waste. Rommy, can you send something to pick me up or should I arrange transportation myself?"

[Ren]

"I can introduce you to Huck, he's one of the muscle for the Eaterz", Gibbon answered. "I'll give him a call but i won't be able to introduce you personally, it is not advisable for any dwarves to appear on their turf right now."

He called the ork immediately, from the commcode he gave him. "Hey, Huck, how's the crew? Everything OK? Hope the Nukes didn't do much damage. Remember the biz i was talking about? My partner wanted to meet the ARB and discuss some hardware with him, can you set the meeting up, or bring her to someone who can?"

[Chrona]

"Fragging pieces of drek blew a goddamn slitch sized hole in the side of the place! We should frag all of the damn halfers in that shit stain excuse for a crew! They're fucking psychotic little -" He pauses his loud rant briefly, you can make out the sound of something being plugged in over the commcall, "No offense o'course maaan, not all dwarves the same, right? You cool. Hardware might as well be the code word round here, bro, send your partner to my turf and I'll get 'em to ARB."

[Punch]

@all: Anyone you want to tag along as security? not in the mood to take no for an answer or even who goes with for that matter.

[Ren]

@Huck: ”No offense taken, I understand you’re pissed, I’d feel the same. Thanks, chummer, I’ll send my partner your way today.” After finishing up with Huck, Gibbon sent the coordinates to Silk. @all: “OK, my new friend Huck will take you to ARB, the leader of the Eaterz. I sent you where you can find him, if he’s not there, he’s probably in the vicinity. And one thing: I think they will appreciate any kind of hardware in the deal.”

"Hope you do not mind Company?" Andromeda asked Cookie and Gibbon then added trough her comlink to @Team >>Silk, be ready for pick up in 15, we are on our way. Do you want me to take the hounds as well? << Andromeda asked silk,thinking if taking her doberman drones would be a smart move considering they are about to visit a hacker den.
>>Pulse, you good with drones?<< a quick message was sent with a single thought. >>would love your help if we take them to the meet. Also could provide you with wheels for the time you want to hack the delivery company.<< ...there is still the issue of stealing the Truck from the shipping company,but this will have to wait, as we first need access to the company itself... Andromeda thought to herself, but never sent her thoughts to the team while the Shin made his way toward Silks World of shoes and dresses. ...Hope their will not reek of 101 kind of Perfume like last time, maybe I just should stay in the car.

Silk would know about the two dobberman drones in Habu
others can be let out any way on the road. if they wish so

[Punch]

@all: Would having a doctor on scene help as well if they have wounded, I'd need to pickup my kit from home, can only do so much with a first aid kits; Given how Andromeda drives it won't cost us much time to grab it.

[Kouryuu]

no prob was heard over the team channel just miliseconds before the shin took a sharp left turn.

[Xzylvador]

"I wouldn't bring the drones... or anything else of value that you don't want to barter with, to be honest. I don't know these guys but they just might demand anything that looks expensive, useful or hard to get."
Silk had tried coming up with ideas on how best to handle this while in the shower, but hadn't really come up with much. She just didn't have enough information to work with.
"Truth be told, I'm a bit reluctant to show my hand in this instance. If we arrive there showing up with our best equipment, they might not like being offered nothing more than Uzi's.
Also, from what I understand the other guy -what's his name, Rorek?- wanted to go alone. Looks like it turned out pretty bad for him, but that doesn't mean he didn't make the right decision.
Could be things go well, we have a nice chat  and maybe come to a good deal, maybe not, no harm done. But who's to say these guys won't demand a lot more than we're willing to offer and won't take no for an answer. In that case, I'd feel a lot better knowing I've got some backup armed and ready to bail me out.
Showing up with just one or two and letting them get the feeling they're in charge might get us a better result than showing up in force."

[Punch]

@all: You do realise with Andromeda needing to behind the wheel in case we need to run and Gibbon with his species related problems, not trying to be offensive everyone is allergic to lead; means that it's going to be you and me going; possibly Kitten as well, if she can project over without worry.
