@Duck You reel back as she slaps you. "You best not be shooting off to see some other slut" she shouts, slurring her words. Jesus, that hurt. She laughs "Of course you're not" she smiles at you "You aren't crazy, are you?"

Carl joins laughing, cracking open a beer. "Take it easy on the poor guy, looks like he's about to have a heart attack" he raises his bootle and tilts it in your direction "Cheers for filling in, that was some tight as drek drumming tonight"

You think about packing up your kit. Although the bridge is only 6.5km away, you imagine the traffic north will be shot. Drek is it safe to travel on foot?

Well, traffic might be shitty, but i aint exactly in a hurry. Plus, i already had to DWO (drive while ork) to get here, so i didn't come strapped. If anything goes down, i need to be able to get away. I GOTTA take this truck. Besides, if i leave it here, some junkie is gonna shit in it.

He turns to face Carl, his arm still around Deen's muscular waist, and a massive red handprint growing in brightness across the left side of his face. " Thanks. I do what i do, y'know? So, yall got a place to crash on the island or what?" As he chats with Carl, he mentally activates his commlink.

Trance nodded, wincing as she recalled the sight. "I saw it, but couldn't intervene. I made certain to keep a bit of distance on my way here."

She tilted her head, pondering the offer, and walked over to sit in the nearest empty chair, keeping her back straight and sitting on the edge.

"I'm willing to bet KE is behind it. Dumb fraggers probably did it by accident and confused themselves into thinking something else happened."

She leaned forward, reaching out to shake his hand, while her free hand instinctively reached up to brush her hair back from her face. "It's nice to meet you, Slim. I'm Trance!"

"No reason to intervene. My own damn fault, probably. Should have expected a hair-trigger from the guys that manage to keep a place like this from going to shit every night."

Noticing Trance fiddling with her hair, A tell of some sorts or just a nervous tick from a kid in over her head. "Pleasure is mine Trance, yeah, it's impossible to tell. Could be anything from the Knight to some gangers too stupid to properly transport explosives."

@Duckdown
Carl nods "For sure man, You know what Derek's like, missed a few gigs, likes them week long benders a little TOO much, ya know? May need you to fill in again, if ya keen?" he takes a swig from his beer, before downing another tequila shot "Of course we organised a pad, we normally crash at the bars we gig at. Andy's put us up overnight, tiny room, but who gives a drek at the end of a bender?" Carl pats his chest, reaching in to his jacket pocket, pulling a pack of Marlboro Lights. He pops a cigarette in to his mouth, sparking a match and lighting up. He takes a drag, exhaling several rings. "Ant no good for the singing he takes another drag "but drek, never could bring myself to quit"

You fire off a message to Deen, attaching a snapshot of last weekends fun. She grabs her commlink, frowning you'd sent her a message while in the same room. Spending a lot longer than needed, she reads the message and walks over. Was that concern on her face for a split second? "Just don't be too long, alte?" She punches you in the chest, she's punched a lot harder than that. You consider your plan...

@Angel
You fire off several messages, your ancient commlink snaps shut. You hear someone at the bar snicker. "Nice commlink love, hand me down from grandma?" Instinctively you reach for your baton. No, that's a bad idea.

You walk over to the remaining troll. The other seems to have disappeared. The troll frowns, is that concern? Nah, probably just anger. "Wait here" he grumbles. "Who are you and who sent you? Too many people be askin to see the boss tonight, I smell trouble" You give your name, mentioning Honest Joe. He nods, heading out back, shutting the door behind him.

You hope Honest Joe hasn't put you in the shit...

Guess there's nothing to do but wait.

@Cheshire
"Ahh, most excellent brother" Andy looks pleased. He reaches under his desk, you hear a faint click. Must be paging someone. Moments later the door opens the same troll entering the room. Andy stands, motioning you toward the door. "Crash, Take our friend here to tha cellar" The cellar? You're a little worried. Andy notices, lauging. "These room upstairs keep nosey eyes and ears out, understand me?. Tha cellar be much easier and my boy can look afta ya."

You follow Crash in to the hallway. He's a monster of a troll, at least 8'8, 360kg of muscle. he stops before one of the doors, opening it revealing a staircase. "Follow me" he grunts, bending down, descending without waiting for a reply.

There's another door at the bottom of the stairs. Crash fumbles for a key, not long after you hear the click of the mechanical lock and the door opens. Inside is nothing special. Kegs line the back wall, spare tables and chairs are stacked high. You notice a bunch of broken furniture stacked in one corner. You wonder if rowdy patrons caused the damage, or if it was a result of a troll keeping order. Crash walks to one corner, grabbing a rather large chair and placing it in the center of the room. "Here ya go. Unless you'd rather pass out on the floor?"

You watch the him lean against a wall, keeping an eye on you. Seems he really will be watching over you while you work, you're not sure if you're relieved or scared...

@Slim @Trance
You're getting impatient. How long are those damn trolls going to keep you waiting? Time passes, you exchange brief introductions with each other. It's possible you'll be working together soon, might as well get along. Finally the door opens. This troll's new. He grunts. "Come on, seems the boss be busy tonight"

@Slim
As the troll opens the door, your commlink buzzes. Weird, wonder if that was a coincidence.

you follow the troll to Andy's office. He's sitting behind a desk, pouring a whiskey from a crystal decanter. "Welcome friends, welcome" he motions you closer "Sit down, time for a chat". You sit, Andy rolls back in his chair, putting his feet up. Axle leaves, shutting the door as he goes. "Seems ya know a few friends of mine? You be brave approaching Crash and Axle like dat" he laughs "Or stupid, tell me, why you ask ta see me? Both be desperate for work?"

Find a corner. Wait patiently. Check to see what the news captions read on the trid now that the music is out.

She runs a check over her gear. Over the past 6 months it has become OCD to her. She had lost several apartments to squatters before she finally kicked out the big bucks to get an apartment in a building with locks. But that still meant she only left her bow and her staff behind. She checked her cred balance every morning but she always knew what it was before she looked. Times were tight. Her olive green armour jacket was starting to show roughness around the end of the sleeves and the collar. She should probably get a new one, but it wasn't bad enough to justify the expense. Her boots had the lightness of familiarity and the wear of age. At least the soles never wore out. She smiled at that but quickly put it away in case anyone saw.She pulls an elastic from her pocket and quickly puts a ponytail in place and tucks it into her jacket.

Flicking her Commlink open, she run's a fast scan for RFID tags. The built in functions did not have the power of a full scanner but the price was right. When it flashes a foreign warning, she pops her backpack off as she backs into a corner. Nine times out of ten, it's the backpack. Finding the tag she try's to pull it off.

Fucking adhesive.

She fumbles into a pocket for her eraser wand and runs it over the pack.

Starting to get more tags than pack.

Dropping it into her pocket she let's out a squeak as she notices the bar crowd has been edging in towards her wile she was preoccupied. Putting on her best "Get away from me" face she moves back to the door the troll left.

At least no one wants to come closer to these guys on purpose...

Wait, is he making a figure of speech or is he for real? Does Joe actually have a connection to this guy? I may have been underestimating the little bastard, this Angel character might even be fairly competent.

Slim smiles at the brave/stupid joke, "I've never been considered for Mensa, that's for sure. Those are some tough dudes you got there, maybe even as tough as they think they are. But speaking of mutual friends, Honest Joe apparently has another runner in your bar, name of Angel. Would it be possible to add that person to this meet? I can tell the chummer to speak to your most excellent and mild mannered bouncers."

Aint got much of a plan. I was just gonna hop in the truck, drive down near the venue, and circle the area for a couple hours. Do some people watching. See if i can see anything out of the ordinary. It'd be nice if i had some backup, but i don't know anyone here i can really trust 'cept Deen, and she's too hammered and horny to be any good out there. Besides, she'd just gimme shit for not coming strapped.

He pulls his arm from around Deens waist and moves toward the rear entrance to the venue, turning over his shoulder to say, "I'm gonna go load my gear into that room you mentioned, Carl. Then, im gonna head on out."

Duck walks back into the venue. He pushes his way along the edge of the crowd toward the side alcove where his drumset sits, waiting for him. Picking up the collection of off green dufflebags it resides in and slinging them over his shoulders, he makes his way back through the crowd, shoving his way to the bar. As he fights through the sea of drunken fists, feet, and tusks, he stops for a moment to listen to the band playing now. This troll techmetal stuff just doesn't do it for me. Sure, I can respect the skill level and all, but it just seems too "in the head" and not enough "in the soul" for me. Once he gets to the bar, he raises a finger to the overworked troll bartender filling a truly immense glass of beer. He shouts to be heard over the noise. "Ayo Chum! Carl tells me Andy's got a room set up we can crash in? Mind pointin me toward it? I don't wanna leave this shit in the truck all night, wiz?

Listen to me, all talkin like i know who the drek "andy" is.

Trance was about to reply when the bouncer interrupted her. She nodded and stood, following behind Slim and the troll. She kept silent during the trip, relaxing as she walked and composing herself. Once they inside the room, she smiled to Andy and mouthed a small thanks as she took a seat. She then waited while he talked, using the time to try to get a read on him, and smiled at his joke.
Judge Intentions: 8d6t5 3
Perception to notice hidden weapons: 6d6t5 3

"Slim's brave, I'm stupid. Gets the job done when you need something brave and stupid done," Trance replied with a wink.
Etiquette test: 8d6t5 2 Social limit of 6

I think that came across badly...

"I had a meeting for a job lined up until the bridge closed. I was redirected to you. Mini Boom thought this turn of events could still work out and sent me to you," Trance said.

Rule three: Never tell a fixer you're desperate for work, but don't lie to them.

She didn't blink at the mention of another person being added, but mentally added it to her list of things being added on to this.

A third person, he probably met with a fourth before us... This is a true shadowrun team. Slim is definitely experienced, from what I've seen. Andy isn't playing around and this has him incredibly busy. I bet this third person will be part of it as well. Might also mean competition for spots. No screw-ups, Trance!

She almost began to open her mouth on the subject of adding another, then thought better of it.

No, don't speak up. The fixer chooses the team members and decides who he'll meet with when; doesn't need to hear me say I'm okay with it.

She just put on a relaxed, if very slightly nervous, smile.

Cheshire moves up to the chair and hops into it, scooting all the way back so that he can recline with just his feet hanging off.  Taking a few breaths to calm his nerves (and his stomach, after taking that shot with Andy), he relaxes back into the chair and feels himself sliding out of his meat.

He gets the same urge every time he enters the astral, the urge to shoot straight up into the sky at blistering speeds, to spend at least a couple of minutes enjoying the complete freedom from the limitations of his body.  Not tonight, self.  We have more important things to look into.  Startin' with what I'm not supposed to look into.  Guess that means you first, Crash.

He flits over in front of Crash to take a good, hard look before he moves on.  Assensing Crash: 7d6t5 0  Frag it's been too long since I tried this.  What was it Professor Krinch said that color means?  I hope it wasn't anger.  Drek, they probably all mean anger on a troll.  He hangs around for a few more moments to make sure Crash wasn't just waiting for him to go limp before floating out of the cellar.

Let's go see if there is anything suspicious going on here real quick.  I wonder if Andy's room is warded...

@Kitty
Abandoning stealth, you recalibrate, shutting down Missy, your icon reappearing in the matrix. You weigh your options, you need the extra juice.

Targeting the communication hub at the docks, you probe its defences. You scan the icon, wondering if you'll need to get jack out to move closer. This interference isn't ideal, hopefully this host isn't too well defended…

You work quickly, you've done this many times before. It's not long before you have a result. Seems like your standard low end host, shouldn't be too much of an issue. You probe the firewall, you wonder how easily you will be able to break through.

>>Matrix Perception

You wonder what IC countermeasures the host is running, considering your next move.

The information displayed in her field of view her persona icon tilting her head, mimicking the mannerism she has in meat space. Not so though are you host-kun... Samantha face flashing briefly in her mind, the idea that the worst could happen even to the best of them, usually "kitty" is a bit averse to being reminded of the dangers of reality, but on this instance, as she hoovers near the shimmering data block representing the host of the comm hub at the dock, kitty cant help herself and the persistent thought of Sam keep crossing her mind.

Brrrrr.. snap out of it... why am i doing this? to get out of this stinking island.... why am i here on the first place... GOD knows... HiHi... no they don´t, not until i hack this shiny little thing... curiosity killed the cat eh? well... not this one.
shaking her head and gathering her thoughts Kitty moves in a steady way to do her magic, steadier than her meat body would allow, but then again the matrix was always her natural habitat, licking her paws, rubbing them together and in her face kitty moves.

Looking around to try to spot any icon or persona, even one running silent, that might be on the lookout for anyone, Kitty moves her paw near the shimmering virtual construct, placing it gently on the surface of the host

And you never know what you can find inside... do news networks pay up for stories? i know the pawns are hiding something, they always are....  she thinks with a mischievous grin.

@Cheshire
You feel at home. There's nothing like the feel of leaving your physical body, the meat and entering the astral plane. Makeing sure Crash keeps his word, you stick around briefly. Looks like he's good. You shoot off through the door, up the stairs. Before you leave, you try a sneak peak at Andy's office, it's as you suspected. Wards surround the entire room, drek, looking around you notice every room in this hallway is warded. You wonder how much Andy spent, he must love his privacy...

Launching yourself off, you fly in to the air, the life force of the people below fading as you make your way to Fox Island Bridge. Stars shoot by overhead as you make haste, faster than any VTOL could travel. Drek, Andy didn't give you the gang's location, you wonder if that's taken a back seat to the news report. In no time at all you're near the bridge. You scan around, noticing a tent, the cars on the bridge and what obviously is the location of the explosion. You scan around, where to look first?

@Trance
Feeling Andy is up to something, you give him the once over, who knows how shady this guy is. You notice a stupid looking cane leaning against his desk. You take a closer look, noticing a small, but identifiable button near the thumb groove. You wonder what nasty surprise awaits the receiving end of that, definitely shady. Despite that, you get the feeling he's not all bad and for some strange reason you trust him. Probably at least worth a listen, at least.

"If I wantad brave, lady, my friend here woulda been more than fine" he laughs, pointing his cane toward Axle leaving the room. As the door closes he contiues "If I'da wantad stupid, well" he laughs motioning toward the door again. "Mini Boom eh? Crazy, crazy bastard!" Andy cuts the end from a fresh cigar, sparking a match and lighting up. "Ask tha crazy fool bout his cyber" he laughs "But if he sent ya, I can trust ya, can't I?"

@Slim
Andy puts down his glass, turning to you "I know about ya friend. My boy be gettin her now. Seems Joe been busy lately, mon. Two of ya in my bar..."

@Angel
You rip the tag from your pack, dropping it and grinding it to pieces with your shoe. You shift away from the crowd, drek, it's pretty packed. You wonder why you came here, thinking about leaving before remember the bridge and the two assailants from earlier in the evening.

Luckily the troll returns "He's expecting you, let's go" he barks before walking off. He lead you to a door, you realise you've never actually spoken with Andy, though you have seen him from a distance. You enter, seeing Andy with two others, a short, young girl with crazy green hair and an older male, charcoal coat, short brown hair. You assume the male is Slim, it looks like he can handle himself in a fight.

@Trance @Slim @Angel
Andy sets down the glass "Right, we all be here, time ta talk business" He pulls his shoulders back, stretching before continuing. "I believe I had a run down from our mutal friends Joe and Boom. Maybe you be able ta help" he cracks his knuckles "Looks like the island going to drek since Slash was killed, bad for business. I need someone to look in to tha new leader of the Mongrel's, I wouldant be surprised they be responsible for tha explosion, mon"

He looks around at each of you "Where be my manners? You don't know each otha, I give you some time, talk it over, knock on the door when ya done" he rises, opening the door to leave speaking to Axle "Get me when they ready, mon, feedin time for tha girls"

Axle shuts the door, it looks like the three of you are alone...

@DuckDown
"Hoi, drek, tight set Chummer! That break down was wiz!" The bartender nods approvingly. "Out back, near the rear car park. Take the stairs on the left, room 3. You're gonna have to walk  around the side though, no rear exit" he reaches in to his pocket, handing you a key card.

Damn, going to have to carry the drums a little further. You sling your kit over your shoulder, exiting at the side entrance. Two large, awful smelling rubbish bins are to your right. You see an old man, passed out, surrounded in vomit. Better him than you, drek, that could have been you if you'd kept up those shots with Deen. You head left, down the alley, toward the back of the bar. The carpark's still almost full, looks like the party will be pumping a while longer yet. You see a gathering of people near the exit, looks like two fools are going at it. You hear a smash as one bottles the other. Idiots...

You easily find the stairs, adjusting the straps of your bags before ascending. You swipe the card, opening the door. You notice the door is heavy, wondering what it could be made from. The room is nothing special, there's a single bed in the corner, gas burner, no fridge. Drek, hardly enough for 2 let along 4. You wonder if Deen would have cared, she was worse that usual tonight.

Setting down your kit, you consider the zen you'd rolled earlier, though deciding against it. Thinking about the job ahead, you close the door, time to roll, you head toward the pickup…

@Kitty
You bound over to the host, initiating a scan as you approach. Looking to spot anything hidden, you bring up a search, text filling your HUD as you look around. Interesting... You  spot a ship icon, hidden, it's the only one that isn't broadcasting. You take note, focusing your attention back to the host. Placing your paw at the front door, you try your luck.

>>Hack-on-the-fly
   >>Initiating…


Several moments later, a cat door appears, that was easy. You smile, licking a paw before making your way inside.

Filing cabinets fill the room, hanging lights flicker, swinging slightly from above. The room appears as a warehouse, packed with cabinets. You leap to the top of the closest cabinet, leaning over the edge, curiously looking upside down at the label. Seems these files are organised by date, you wonder where the latest files are kept... You hunt around, leaping from cabinet to cabinet, as agile as any kitten. You feel like you're making good progress, not long and you'll find what you're looking for. Not long after, a security guard enters, flashlight scanning the room. Shit, patrol IC, best be careful...

Getting low, jumping from the top of the filing cabinet you silently land, moving on all fours away from the patrol. The last thing you need is the guard calling something more nasty... You creep as quietly as you can, finally coming to the cabinet you're after. First looking around for guards, you give the locked cabinet your attention.

After checking the back to make sure no one was sleeping in there, Duckdown opens the door to his gopher and steps up into the cabin, slamming the door shut behind him. He hated leaving shows early, but he hated not knowing where his nieces were more. Even more than that, right now, he hated not having his AK in his lap. Man, FUCK a trog! That's what the whole world set up to do anyway, right? Make it so a ork gotta have a gat to live, then make havin a gat a crime!

He takes a deep breath and exhales, thinking about the zen he's got rolled up and stuck in his black bandana. Chummer, what you NEED to do is take a couple hits off that before you go gettin all aggro out there in the sprawl and get into some dumb shit. "Nah, fuck that! Burn on the way back." He reaches behind his left ear and opens a small compartment, removing a long thin wire from it and plugging the end into the port under the dashboard. Once he starts to see the AROs loading up for the guages, he gives the mental command to start the engine and turn off the wireless. Frag it, I'm plugged in, right? The stout little pickup truck roars to life and as he throws it into gear to make his way out of the parking lot, he tries to remember what he knows about fox island gangs. Who runs the streets round here on fox? Have i heard anything about what they been upto lately? Runnin round in gang territory aint always the safest thing, and me bein unarmed, I'll need to have every edge i can get out there.

Cane hiding a weapon. He's careful enough to be armed. Shouldn't need it with the trolls around, but has it anyway. Smart and cautious.

Trance grinned at Andy. "Mini Boom is a riot by himself! I will have to ask about his cyberware! And he sent me to you, so I think we can trust each other!"

"Rule Four: Never trust your fixer." Shut up, Mom.

She nodded at bringing another in and gave Angel a glance and wave hello as the woman entered. Then she listened quietly, with her hands folded on her lap and her right hand idly tapping fingers on the back of her left. She blinked a moment at hearing the new gang leader may be the one responsible for the explosion. But, before she could ask a question, Andy was out the door. Trance shrugged; she could ask the question later.

Then, her eyes turned towards Angel fully. "Welcome to the Fireworks Action Committee!" She then winked. "What brings you?"

Hmm. What bring's me here...

Oh, you know. The promise of glory, riches beyond imagination, and the opportunity to live on forever in the minds and hearts of all manking as a heroine. Oh, right. That was the OTHER job I turned down. This one is RENT. Sorry guys, I'm sure your not happy about being thrown to the shit with people you don't know. Hardly ideal.

Give them the once over...

Looking for weapons and armour.

Eye frisking done.

Also wanted to see if they are left or right handed. Professional stuff aside...

I'm Joe's friend Angel. Slimm?

She extends a hand to shake... I am not sure which is which so I choose the skinnier of the 2 and am leaning towards it being male.

Description time. Olive green Armour jacket. Long black hair currently in a ponytail. She has a worn green rucksack over one shoulder. Her pants are a black denim that have faded past black and have turned grey. The jacket is unzipped as the club is hot no matter the weather. Shirt is a black T. Her face would have been pretty. Except for the broken nose that was clearly not set properly. She doesn't sit but leans on a cabinet or table close to the door. She is smiling, but it's that shy smile of someone who doesn't know what her face should be wearing in most situations.

The way she delivers her line makes you think she has been practicing things to say before she enters the room.

Etiquette: 4d6t5: 2 [4d6t5=2, 5, 6, 4]( Limit 5)

"Angel." Slim shakes her hand briefly but firmly, "This is Trance, who I've just met myself, Trance, this is Angel who I've known for even shorter than I do you.  Has Joe been in contact with you regarding this bridge business? I was sent here to find some missing kids and as far as I'm concerned that is still priority number one.  However it seems clear that Andy has the expectation of us working together on this, and the same gang that he suspects were involved with the bridge are linked to these missing kids.  According to what I've heard they've been adding new members and getting their paws on some real hardware. Might be that included demo charges, I have some contacts that might help with that info."
Slim pauses for half a second to let this sink in before continuing,
"If we're going to be working together it only makes sense that we'll get an idea of where each others talents lie. Me, I'm a weapons specialist and I can make do as a front man if needed. I also have some experience with gangs so that might be why I was pegged for this job in the first place. So, what is it that you guys bring to the table?"
