Dunk pulls away smoothly and the curtains on the 2nd floor stop twitching.
The slums sprawl on for another 15 minutes, more scenes of urban decay flash past the windows as you boule along slowly on the badly potted road surface.
A large club, lit up in Neon is the only major landmark you spot on the way past
Eventually the streets become cleaner, more civilised, and the downtown area looms ahead.
Huge high rise buildings in the near distance show the centre of the town, signs indicate that SiN broadcasting is now mandatory.
The GPS chirps happily as its signal is restored, putting you at 2 min away, locating the nearest parking to your destination.

As the gps chirps to life Knives speaks up again,  "See told ya mates.  Now where's the bar?  It's a good thing we've got some time on this one lads...  Today's little show probably raised a lot of eyebrows."

You spot the irish bar a bit further down the main drag.
A long boulevard stretched ahead of you, smart tenement buildings line both sides of the road. A veriety of shop fronts litter the ground floors of the buildings, patisseries, boulangeries, appliance and cleaning drone shops, pretty much everything was for sale on this busy avenue. Most of the shops had pedestrian traffic heading in and out
A large multi-story car park stood to your left, just next to the boulevard. GPS said the bar was further up on the right and sure enough, a four leaf clover lit in neon jutted out of a building a couple hundred yards further down.
Your car, fitting in so beautifully in the shit-tip, now stands out like a sore thumb. The worst you'd seen pass you by was a 2 year old americar.
Dunk swung into the multistory, heading down three levels into the ground before finding a spot.
He groaned as he stood up out the drivers seat, cracking his back and neck in tandem
[colour=red]Urgh.. Getting fucking old lads.

Mantis is happy to be out of the slums. As the three get close to the club he chirps up. If we have some time we might want to give this car a spray paint make over so it looks a bit different next trip to the slums. Mantis is glad that a little rest and relaxation of the pub is near. As Dunk gets out of the car and asks for any takers on first rounds Mantis shakes his head at the memory of the slum scouting. Well since my Elemental went all look at me on us I guess first round is going to be on my tab. It is the least I can do to smooth over the rookie move from my miss worded command. With that Mantis gets out of the car kills his smoke with the bottom of his shoe and does a quick check on funds to make sure he can get the round of lodgers for the three.

You pop out of the  lift onto the ground floor and head outside into the bright daylight, joining the flow of pedestrians heading northwards up the boulevard.
Crossing the road to avoid a patrol drone, you step into the Irish bar,  heading down a small flight of stairs.
It smells like the pubs back home, stale cigarettes and old beer, but you can tell it's clearly the French equivalent of a corporate chain pub. Generic stock images of old Dublin line the walls, the four leaf clover adorns the back wall and AR feeds show the national rugby team's last win over England in the seven nations. The audio system plays pretty typical Irish folk music at a low volume, tinny violin led stuff that would drive you nuts after an hour of it.
Small tables line the right and left sides of the bar, with some booths behind you under the small window as you come down the stairs.
A couple of touristy looking humans sit near the bar on the left side and a bored looking barman casts an eye on you as you descend onto the hardwood floor.

Knives' eyes immediately fall to the rugby scores as soon as they enter, "Bloody ell, gonna owe Johnny boy another fiver."  He walks straight up to the bar and gives the barman a motion of tipping a glass to his lips then holds up three fingers, "Three pints whatever is good."

He then turns to his companions, "Let's find a seat lads, we need to finalize our shopping list."

The barman replies in a thick Australian accent, Sure mate, it's a Demi-litre here though.
He grabs a couple of glasses and starts pouring out from a lager tap.
Swipe your 'Link over the terminal to start your tab lads, you staying for food?
Irish potato stew is on the specials.

whoever is picking up the tab will need to run their ID through the scanner, roll me an ID test please.

Mantis hopes his new ID's the boss got him would do its job. Mantis sweeps his comm over the terminal.

The machine bleeps three times and the barman looks over at you with a suspicious eye.
He flicks the tap off halfway through the second pint and walks over to the machine.
Blasted thing. Sorry mate, gonna have to ask you a few questions.
First one: Where was your ID issued?

Come on mate, it isn't a hard question. Where was it issued?
He eyes you even more suspiciously, taking in your less-than-austentacious clothing, looking over at Dunk and Knives, clearly making some pre-judgements in his head.

Oh sorry for the delay this never happens and me and my friend over there did get a small buzz on before coming here.... Mantis will do his best to answer the questions if his memory gives himself the answers.


Since this is a new SIN I just got, I didn't write the background for it so I will need you Csjarrat to tell me the answers if I get enouph hits on my memory test.

Also Pushed (Augmentaions 90) says it adds 1 dice to Logic based skill tests does that add to the memory test? Since there is no skill being used I opted not to add it last roll.

I got it issued in France. Mantis waits to see what other questions are going to thrown at him. Mantis really wished he could get a better SIN this is the second time he got bombarded by question seems like fakes SINs are not what they use to be.

As you reel off the spiel Pavel gave you, the barman appears convinced enough to return to the beer pump, handing over the three pints as the debit comes out of your account
