Kyo nodded before adding: And I only count 4 of us at 10,000¥ a piece, so that's 40,000¥. time 20 would 800,000¥, not even a million... Sorry if you have a cold and we're only hearing your Ms as Bs. Anyway, that's not the point. I don't think crunching hypothetical numbers is gonna help us finding our man. We agreed on the job, let's just do it.
Frank, my only experience of Mages is what I've read or found on the Matrix. Never got to work with one. Met one once, but never witness her doing any tricks, or spells or whatever they call it.
Let's sum up what we have; correct me if I'm wrong:
The Good Dr. disappeared a week ago, his commlink signal went dead at pretty much the same time.
Witnesses and Evo suspect him out of the Arcology
The Dr. 'link was spoofed at random location in the city as if to confuse and delay any research or investigation...
A team of 4 Eco Mages entered the Arcology, supposedly to eradicate his work linked to Toxic Magic. They meet an EVO response team and the Flat is leveled with a radioactive Blast.
Are the Mages dead or still Alive we don't known; EVO does its best to block any details out to the public.
Response Team are treated for burns at the Hospital and likely to not make it. Knowing what they saw could be of help as to figuring our what happened.
There are two options for us. One is to direct our efforts outside the Arcology, the second one inside. If outside I am with Miner that with or without a link the Dr. or his acolytes if he has any must have interact with people. I can search online and try to gather info about what places have been recently rented or became active. Given enough time and cross-information we'll be able to narrow our search to a few places. And maybe some more shady deal or persons can even further narrow the list.
If we go for inside the Arcology, I'm gonna have to poke in to get access to some of the nodes, from there I should be able to steal data before they get corrupted. Maybe even spoof an access to some drones and have a look directly to zone of the blast. We have to remember EVO is our employer, they surely hide more than they would admit, but I doubt they will take it lightly if we get caught.
So what do you say?
