Ice Tiger looks over at the two of them, not wanting to tell them anything just wanting to get into the shadow life, which for some reason he believes will not be for the first time. Thing is knowing so much about the shadow community and alot about the players in it, Ice Tiger knows he will have to sell himself to get the job. Oh how Ice Tiger hates telling anyone about himself. Well then again maybe before waking up in coffin motel with a few credsticks, a blood stain and a med kit hooked up to himself, maybe he loved to tell people about himself. That could be why he was in a blood stained coffin motel with no memories. Ok I hate to do it but I have to sell myself.

Ice Tiger looks over at the two hopefully runners clenching his fists under the table. My Street name is Ice Tiger or Icer what every you like. As you might have noticed I was able to astral perceive that both of you have abilities from cyber ware or Magic, that is the main reason I'm risking the nuyen coming to me right away to let you guys take the van on a side run. Ice Tiger unclenched his fists. See that didn't get you killed, well if I do tell them too much it will make getting the van they hide a bit harder, and them more ready to deal with what I can throw their way. As for why you should hire me I do have some Low level magic abilities and a few other skills to aid me in a run. Oh ya and I'm still going to need to get that van back I did say that you could use if for the side job that the mechnic told me you guys where using it for but I also need the nuyen from that job. I really don't like to go back on a job I have been hired for. Ice Tiger plays with his black shades on his face that are hiding his Silver Eyes that are under them. Not wanting to tell every thing that he can do he decides to take a breather here to see what the next wave of 20 questions will be knowing that the two are going to want to know they can trust Ice Tiger to some degree before they let him take a bit of nuyen from them inorder to watch there backs.

Lynx nods, "Yes. Tell more about this job with my van.  I probably paid more for my last bottle of vodka than you were paid to get this van."

Ice Tiger shakes his head. The nuyen isn't really something important right now. I told you my name why don't you introduce yourself to me. Also if I'm going to risk my rep taking a side job and at the same time slow down the delivery of the van, how do I know you can deliver. Do you have any contacts that would be an aid you would share if I met your expectations on this side job. Ice Tiger takes the last sip of his coffee placing it at the edge of the table signalling that he is done, thing is in a place like this it should be a good while before the next cup shows up, enouph time for the two introduce themselves that is what civil people do at there first meeting, exchange names and all that.

"I am called Lynx.  If you can do this job we can discuss our relationship further.  You should go ahead and cut your losses with the van.  I can not allow you to take it.   Just call your employer and tell him it was gone, nothing you could do."  Lynx leans back in the booth and crosses his arms over his chest.

Ice Tiger starts playing with his shades on his face as he hears Lynx tell him to cut his losses with the van. There is a few things with cutting my losses with the van. Once I take a job I am honor bound to finish the job, until I see that this new job has a good reason to take a hit to my honor I must have the recovery of the van in mind. If this job and new relationship I have with you two does give me a good reason to drop the van recovery job, I will go back to my boss and give him compensation for my dropping the job I have been given. Sorry but that is the way it has to be. Ice Tiger starts tapping his fingers on his knee under the table knowing full well his spirit aid his martial arts honor the spirit holds dear can not be put aside with out some kind of compensation for the dropping a job Ice Tiger has agreed to do. If the time comes that these two runners prove themselves to Ice Tiger, then a talk with his martial artist spirit will happen on what compensation will be needed to be given to his employer.

If I do join up with you on this side job I will also be honor bound to do everything I can to make sure I complete the job assigned to me, anything else would again bring dishonor to me and I can not do such a thing. When you are ready we can talk about what the job is that you have that you. Since I agreed to not take the van for either nuyen or a role in this side job.

Chikuso, I knew we should of binned him off.
//Lynx, this kid is trouble. Let him have the van, we'll just boost one or rent one. He's got a real bee in his bonnet about the van, he's obviously shit scared about failing his boss, which means putting him on a "side job", as he called it, faces the wrath of his employer too. How much of the cut you thinking of slinging at him anyway?//

Quick_Reply_To:Flea <True he is trouble but you must realize that is my mechanic he is being paid to rip off.  Let me try one more thing.  I was not planning on paying him more than five thousand.>

Lynx leans forward placing his elbows of the table and crossing his hands in front of his face, "You would speak to me of honor, boy?  Honor is not sitting idly by while one's friends are being abused and taken advantage of... That mechanic you were speaking to earlier in one such..." he moves his fingers in air quotes "...'contact'  of mine like you were speaking of.  You must understand the problems this creates.  You can make amends with your employer and he will continue to prosper, if my friend loses his job he will be unable to feed his family or keep his home.  Which do you truly think is more honorable to uphold?  Especially when two thousand nuyen worth of profit for you are at stake. "  He shrugs his shoulders then leans back into the booth, crossing his arms across his chest again.

Ice Tiger keeps his eyes on the two runners. So that mechanic is a contact of Lynx's. Ok then. I Took a job I either have to finish that job or make compensation for the job not being completed. If you guys hold up your end to pay me for the work I'll do for you and there is a good chance I can get more jobs with you guys, I'm fine with going with the making compensation to my employer, you can keep the van. The thing is if I take this side job, you guys are doing is given to me I will be under the same code of honor to full fill it as well. Ice Tiger stretches his back wishing the cup on the corner of the table was full of soy cafe right now. You did mention 2,000 nuyen for this side job. Is there a bonus If I do a good job since around 1K is going to have to go back to my employers hands since it seems like you don't want to let the van go even after the side job is done.

Lynx smiles, *Finally he is being reasonable. *

"I understand and personally I admire that you feel honor bound to fulfill your job.  Too often these days people neglect their sense of duty.  I tell you what I will do, you preform well during our job and I will give you an extra thousand to cover the compensation to your employer.  Provided you tell him nothing of us or the job we will preform.   I must have your word on this.  As long as we can agree on this I believe we can move on to discuss what we need from you."

<Flea can you set up a secure connection with the kid?  He will at least need the picture of the target though the rest of our intel is probably unnecessary. >

Ok that is artic. Ya you can have my word not to talk to my former employer about this new job. For 3 k you got yourself another runner. What is this job you will have my help with? With his soy-cafe still empty it seems Ice Tiger will be with out go juice for a little while. Unless these guys flake on the nuyen I guess tracking the van was not needed but you can never be sure how things are going to turn out. Especially in the shadow biz.

//<<Lynx::>> Yeah, zapping it over now. I really hope this works out//

Flea mentally opened an AR terminal, booting her encryption algorithm and securing a connection to Tiger's link.
As soon as it completed its run, she zapped over the details.

As you continue to talk in the dinner patrons come and go, until your the only ones left and the waitresses are there offering more soy-caf constantly. They are getting in the way and are clearly getting pissed off. At the end of their shift they are tired and frustrated its not long before one finally plucks up enough courage to ask the question.

So then fellas, it seems like you've nearly dried up our caf supplies.
IS there anything else we can get for you.

Lynx smiles at the waitress, "Yes our mistake we should be going."  After settling the tab he gathers the others outside in the parking lot.  Over the encrypted channel <Icer the picture here is our target.  We must acquire him and deliver him.  Before we met earlier we were on our way to scout out a subway station as a possible extraction point.  We should not waste anymore time."

Ice Tiger pays his part of the tab then fallows the other two. With Lynx sending him a picture of the mark the team has as a target Ice Tiger looks it over. Can't take an astral read from the digital but that is fine. Ok Lynx lets go check it out see what we got to work with. Icer has dismissed his two watchers there was no reason to keep tabs on the van anymore. Well walking to his bike he guns a smoke and gets ready to fallow the other two. I'll fallow you two with my bike.
