Thorn closed his sketch book and walked into the house to stash his spare gear. He took out his feel good baggy out of his pack to bring it with him.
Never know when party favors might come in handy. Thorn also grabbed a can of spray glue and his miniwelder out of his bags. He stood up to leave and then stopped. He must have thought better of leaving the restraints behind, and thorn reached down and grabbed a few zip ties and a pair of cuffs.
"We need to determine what our next step beyond meeting with Manticore is. And we need to continue looking for the other extraction team. It may not hurt to split up to cover more ground. We need to continue tracking that Roadmaster if possible. Is it possible that the gang responsible for the surrounding area may have seen something beforehand. It would be nice if they could give us a description of the perpetrators. How do we want to proceed?"
"I believe others may have better options, but I can try and get the sample analyzed if no one else can. Otherwise I'm happy to go along as backup for whoever wants to try interrogating the gangers. I know when to keep my mouth shut and look mean."
<< @Team [Skynet] I'll provide backup for the meet with the local gang. I also want to find out more about that Matrix blackout device that Manticore has, so I'll be looking into that for the next few hours after I grab the footage and look through it. >>
Thorn sighed a little.
"I was hoping to meet the surgeon responsible for the strike on Elden's hideout, but I guess I'll have to miss out." Then thorn smiled, feeling relaxed to be back in his own gear and out of the car.
(The cram earlier definitely calmed Thorn's mind, but he was still a little jittery). "It sounds like tech support wants to hit meet the local boys, Detective. Why not? I have a spare suit in my pack if you want to steal one of these guys from me, though. I won't be needing a suit with gang boys. Actually, if you tech boys have any dirty clothes laying around, that'd be great. Maybe something that smells kind of funny?" Thorn walked back to the Roadmaster before continuing,
"If we check this out quickly enough, maybe I won't miss out at all, eh?" Thorn continued mentally for the Detective only,
"Open the link if you end up meeting Manticore on your own. Ill be able to give you a hand, and we can close it down in a more timely fashion afterwards."
