You crawl through the gap and get to your feet. Turning around, you see your contact; Jimmy, and he's pointing a double barrel shotgun at you. Another large man stands next to him, who isn't introduced.
"glad you could make it, we've just got to go through the usual security checks blah blah blah. Ivan here is going to pat you down. don't fight it or try any funny stuff. He aims the shotgun at your chest and cocks it. I'm sure you understand why we're a little cautious.
Ivan must have been about 7 foot tall, and nearly as wide. his bald head just becomes one with his shoulders, the bulking muscles he sported denying him the privilege of having a neck.
He quickly pats you down and finds your weapons, removing them deftly and placing them into a safe, located near to the back door. He stands up and moves back behind jimmy without uttering a word, his bulking frame blocking a good deal of your view past him into the loading bay area.
Jimmy the dwarf walks over to you and begins to speak in his heavy glasgow accent. His face is pretty chiselled and he's bearing a few scars. He's obviously seen some action.
"Great stuff, now the formalities are over, i'll take you through to the systems room and give you a wee briefing shall I? Jimmy un-cocks the gun and passes it to "Ivan", who never stops looking at you with a steely glare.
"I'm sorry about our little introduction, aye but things have been a little crazy lately, you'll get your toys back when we're done. I'm Jimmy by the way [he offers a handshake], nice to meet you"
"We've been having some issues recently mate, our computer systems have been a wee bit bonkers. Our stuff keeps going missing, shipments dont match up to our documentation and the like. Its all a wee bit weird. We've had a few unsavoury characters knocking on the doors yet the camera feeds show nothing. I think we've been well and truly done over and thats why you're here.
I know its probably not your full time kinda work mate, but by the sounds of it you can handle yourself in the techie world? I want to know how badly we've been done over and if possible, by who. Also mate, theres an extra couple of hundred in it if you can tighten up our security while you're at it.
That said, whatever you see in here today does not pass your lips again right? otherwise my mate Ivan here will be having a wee word wi ya, Glasgae style lad. Got it?"
He motions for you to follow him, and heads to the back of the loading bay area, where there is a small access lift built into the floor.
He pushes the button and both of you descend into darkness for a second, before a series of automatic lights flick on and reveal a huge underground warehouse. the access lift takes all of 30 seconds to reach the bottom, and you follow jimmy through an aisle made between crates, noting the signage in many different languages covering hundreds of different boxes stacked up 7-10ft tall.
He leads you into a small office that is piping hot, a large nexus and workstation taking up the solitary desk and a projected AR keyboard currently active. Jimmy spins the large chair around, motions for you to sit and then places a set of trodes over your head.
"I've created you an admin account, so don't worry about breaking into anything. i'll be watching your progress on these screens thanks to this simrig, so no funny business while you're in there.
Like I said, get in, find out what and who the fuck is dicking about with our systems. Ping me on Admin_002 in case of any drama."
With that, he connects your commlink into the nexus via cable and engages the trodes. Within a blink of the eye, you're in full VR on your home node staring at the open portal to the nexus.
