Ace grins. Quit the opposite. There's only so much info I could get from about each of you. I don't work with junkies, at least not on my teams. He says somewhat flatly. The benefits I'm referring to are more like those data chips. He pulls out a disposable commlink and sets it on the table, he pulls out a chip identical to the ones you have and slots it. Immediately in AR a half dozen or so shop-softs open up, Armor, Firearms, survival gear cars just to name a few. All of my teams will have access to high quality equipment, training, astral assistance that sort of thing. I want you to get the jobs done and come back alive. Assuming you're up to the task. He keeps grinning. Of course don't mistake this for a bribe. More like bonus pay.

[ve4grm]

Reaghan leans back, picks up the drug packet, and flips it open, showing the Ace of Spades logo. "So are you a dealer on the side? Or is the logo just part of the show?"

She takes her chip, and pockets it. Seems useful.

[Moneyspider]

While I do keep a supply of particularly useful pharmaceuticals available. Those ARE bribes. Just not for you. I don't like junkies on my teams, but occasionally they can provide useful services in exchange for a slap patch. They are a tool, use them or don't. Through the accent his voice is mater of fact. There's an underlying tone of simple advice.

[ve4grm]

Reaghan nods, keeping an eye on Jane's reaction. Fair enough. Seems like labeling them is somewhere between completely narcissistic and just stupid, but whatever. It's not my name.

[Bewilderbeast]

Still sipping his beer, Frankie finally spoke up. "I understand your need for caution, Mr. Aces. But I do have one question... these first few runs? These test runs? These are paid, ja?" Rent was still a concern, after all.

[Moneyspider]

Of course! Will 11,000 Nuyen be sufficient? He waves a hand dismissively. Each?

[ve4grm]

Reaghan glances at Frankie, then back to Ace. "Could be." she says, barely containing her surprise. "Let's hear about the job."

[p1erx0R]

11,000? Come on man, it cost me almost that much in gas to get here. He said with a grin, leaning back in his seat. Of course it was an exaggeration. And a joke about the ridiculous gas prices in Seattle. Either way, it was worth testing the water to see if Ace was open to negotiation for this and future runs. If you can pay to give us all favors, you can do a bit better then 11,000, yeah? He put on his best grin and watched ace, sipping slowly from his drink as he did.



(Cha3,Influence 5, tailered phermones 2)[7]Negotiating A deal: 10d6t5 5

[Moneyspider]

Ace keeps on grinning clearly pleased you didn't accept the first offer. Alright then an extra twelve hundred. Can't have you running out of gas half-way there. After thinking for a moment. And if you get it done quick and clean another bonus.

[ve4grm]

Reaghan smirks. "I can handle quick and clean. Frankie, your specialty's more slow and messy, innit? Think we can change it up this once?"

[ismilealot]

She is still watching. Watching Ace. Watching the others. She hears the negotiations. But so much of her attention is on the astral the world around her, her body is difficult to address. almost there: 5d6t5 2 She sees that the one across from her is manipulating his own body. Raising the stakes.: 11d6t5 5 "His aura is tinged with the Seductress," she thinks "He would be accustomed to getting his way." Irish was like that, but Irish couldn't manipulate his body like that. No matter, if he could have gotten those implants he would have. Irish was quite determined about getting his own way. She hears Critter speak, Jane admires the direct openness of her concerns and her manner. Jane turns her spirit to observe her and, The Dragonslayer! Jane had only ever seen a picture of that spirit in one of her precious tomes, and this image differed in several aspects. But looking at it Jane had absolutely no doubts. It was the Dragonslayer. That spirit never accompanied evil. Critter is someone for whom might will never equal right and for whom honesty and integrity are not ideals but the only coin that mattered to her. Jane breaths a sigh of relief that she was right about her. For a moment the Dragonslayer turns to glance at her, and Jane felt her own lack and was glad when it turned away. She had to continue, this was important, this seeing and Jane forced herself to look away from the Dragonslayer and across the table once again "Hmmm" she thinks. "The near machine is difficult to read, his aura nearly gone, but he is . . . is . . . lost." She can't explain why she feels that about him, doesn't even know what he would be lost from. His concern about pay is the only strong thing about him. "I am new to so much of this. But, I don't think I can tell that about someone really. I think I'm trying to hard, assigning emotions because it's what I feel." she thinks. And for a moment is lost in reverie "Wait! Eyes front! Pay attention!" and her attention turns once again to the myriad contradictions that is Ace of Spades.

[p1erx0R]

Terrible shame if I ran out of gas. Yeah, alright. I'm in. So what's the specifics? Another swig of his drink and a cocky little grin as he successfully talked up the price. He eyed the two talking familiarly, guessing they knew each other already, and then his eyes fell upon the others, that cocky grin never leaving his face as he did. His eyes turned back to ace to await the explanation.

[Bewilderbeast]

Frankenstein couldn't help but smirk at Critter. "I was not so slow when first we met, was I, liebchen? But messy... hmm. Your point is taken, but not so much my style these days." Turning his attention away from his one acquaintance at the table, Frankenstein focused fully on Ace of Spades. "For that price, I am in. I am very interested in hearing details, Mr. Aces."

[ve4grm]

Reaghan grins, though she raises an eyebrow at the "liebchen".

[Moneyspider]

Ace steeples his fingers and leans forward in his chair. Alright then. I have a client who needs some specific gear, however the only drop point they can access is on a corp controlled soy farm. So you're going to take the gear, sneak it past corp check points, of which their are three, unload it, and get out. Ideally without anyone being the wiser. I just sent you the drop location and the check point locations. It's a bit of a drive so you should plan to leave here around 600 hours.
