Crenshaw has recovered sufficiently from his near death experience to take advantage of the opportunity presented to him.  “I could definitely introduce around, the tech crowd in LA tends to keep to itself, but we have our spots.  We can meet later after the shooting ends for the day, then go to the clubs later? As for the drones I only need a few, keep what you want as long as you are willing to show appreciation. “

After Snow makes her choice, he will swap comms and Pito links with her and head out.

Sammy sees a little magic being used to enhance the experience on set, but not much else.  Jenny Freelance being a cybered-action type it is a different feel from her shoots, but Big Ben is not one to pass on enhancing the experience.

The filming continues for several hours before a break is called and the red ARO winks out.  As most of the crew heads for a cafeteria, Richard Fermin steps over to the storage room and goes to speak to Torley.

 “Your reputation precedes you apparently,” he says, by way of greeting, handing over an invitation to a private party with a smile. You can see there’s an RFID signal coming from the invitation. He continues, “I’ll level with you—one of my co-workers wants to hire you. I don’t know the details, but if Pandora believes it’s important enough to get you invites to The End of the World Club, then that’s good enough for me. Party starts at 9 p.m. Take tomorrow off to do what you need to do; I’ll have things taken care of here, okay?”

When the ARO told Clem the set was clear, she made her way back quickly to the team. Just in time in fact to catch Richard Fermin talking to Torley. She decided to stay out of it and asked O'Connor "Anything happened?"

O'Connor shrugged, "Nothing but that tech showing up." He inclined his head towards Torley, "Looks like Torley's got new marching orders for us though."

Snow brushes her breast against Crenshaw's arm as she takes five of the ten drones she had left out and moves them to her bag with the other two she had stashed there earlier.  "I would love to meet some of the LA tech set.  And you will have no doubt about how much I appreciate your help.  I do not know what my boss has planned for tonight, but I will call you."  She blows him a kiss as he leaves.

She continues to run scans of the room and her net throughout the filming.  She also keeps up her effort to extract some information from the drones.  She takes them out one at a time and makes sure that they are shut down before she puts them back in her bag.

Sam wasn't too surprised by the hardcopy invitation; while they were increasingly rare, he knew some of the higher-end establishments liked the impression they gave, even with the modern security additions. He thanked Richard as he took the paper and slipped it into an inner pocket of his jacket. "End of the World? Must be nice, with a name like that. What's it like?"

And he says he can take care of things here without asking for the key back. I knew we didn't have the only copy. Wonder how many there are? he mused to himself.

"New orders already?" thought the ork. She certainly didn't want to pry in the conversation Torley and Fermin were having, so she simply whispered to O'Connor "Did you hear what it's about?"

Richard smiled, "You'll like it, very nice place for the rich and famous to come and play,  High security though, so, no offense, but tell your friend to leaves his toys at home and be chill.  Unless he has a hit song on the charts they will be looking for a reason to toss him, and that won't make any of us look good." The elf gives Torley a solid shake and takes his leave, heading out of the studio.

O'Connor shook his head, "Nah, just bits and pieces, something about Pandora and a place called the The End somthin'...":

Snow waits for Richard to leave and goes over to the others.  "I have been invited to go meet with some techs and it may be a door to get some of the software upgrades I need for the net.  I am sure that by now all of you know that I am not as well prepared as I had thought I was.  I think this is a good opportunity and would like to take it if that is alright."

Sam nodded. "Sounds like a good idea. Why don't you take Con with you? I've been invited to a place called The End of the World to talk work, and it doesn't sound like his scene." He hoped that she wouldn't need Con for his skills, but it was always better to be safe. "Sammy, Clem, would you ladies like to go with me? Oh, and we've been given tomorrow off--from guard duty, at least."

Snow looks at Sammy.  "Well, I guess I get to keep the fancy stuff in the traveling bag.  Knock em dead."  She turns to Con.  "You alright with this?  Probably lots of tech talk, but I was told we would be going to a couple of clubs.  Besides, I know that nerd girls are attracted to the handsome action types.  You might score."

She will use her Pito 'link to dial up the tech.  "Hey, it's me, Snow.  The girl from the prop room with the drones?  I just got the green light to go out.  What time were you looking at and should I just wait here for you?  What you saw for clothes is all I have here so you would have to pick me up at the hotel I am at if I need to change.  By the way, one of my friends is asking to come along, if you have the space in your ride.  He is not much into tech stuff, but he can carry a conversation.  And he does not need to be in on the appreciation part of the night.  What say?"

"End of the world sounds nice," Sammy said, "Clem, what do you have in the way of dresses with you, as that place has a dress code.  Quite a lot of the important places in LA do actually.  Oh, and I've noticed that Liam, you know, the guy from the diner, has gone on my P2 network.  Apparently he's in LA and he managed to get onto that stuff as well.  Good to know, at least it's another guy we know in case the fecal matter hits the oscilating unit, right?"

O'Connor was stuck between a rock and hard place. His options were go to the fancy-schmancy club and feel out of place all night, or go clubbing with the techs and feel out of place all night. He settled on the techs, since he figured that he could bully them into dropping any b.s. they may pull, not so easily done to rich people with several bodyguards. Snow's comment about getting some also helped sway his decision. Of course he couldn't let that be apparent. He shrugged indifferently to Snow, "Sure, I'll come back you up. Given this team's luck, if I don't, the Universe is bound to pull something just to spite us."

Clem didn't like what she was hearing. Their client was not only inviting them out, but was giving them the day off to make sure there could be no reason not to go. If the break wasn't an obvious enough sign that this party was important to the Johnson, Clementine didn't know how else it could be communicated to them. Ophelia had showed an obvious flaw in her tactics back in the plane, and now she was risking insulting their client because she wanted to prepare herself for the job in the middle of the run. The ork didn't like how the newcomer to the team was operating, but she wasn't going to say anything in public. She would have to wait to bring up her issues.

Clem turned to Torley and simply said "This is all I have really," pointing to her clothes. Although she wasn't a fan of dresses and dressing up in general, she knew she had to do what their employer asked of them. "If it's absolutely necessary, then I guess we'll have to go shopping first" said the ork, looking at Sammy as she said that.

Snow nods at Sam and Con.  "Just waiting on the tech to get to me to see if he has room in his ride,  We should probably leave anything larger than a handgun here in the box or give them to the others to take back to the hotel.  I would assume that handguns can be checked at the club door but rifles may be too much."  She turns to Sammy, "Sammy, do you know if that is true or should we leave the handguns, too?"

She removes one of the drones from her bag.  "I have seven of these.  I would like to take a couple with me to see if the techs can get more information from them.  They are shut down for now, so should I take all of them or leave some with you guys?"
