"No, it sounds like someone is paying the madam to be a link the in the chain, BB, anyway to tell if these comms have a clue of some sort to point us in the right direction, I doubt she'll answer if asked nicely."

[Kontact]

"The shit happened to the hooker, her whole nerve system getting cooked like that... This whole business seems like a hostage situation to me.  Whatever the hell is going on, they have direct knowledge of it here.  I'm going to make sure to double check these links for data bombs before I sign in to them.  I don't want to catch an infection or get hit with something that'll fry my rig."

@B.B.:

You know immediately that one of the Comm's is the central node that you already hacked.  The other Comm seems to be more of a cash register and is a slaved node but the connection between the cash register comm and the main node is encrypted and the cash register comm node itself is encrypted.  With direct access to the node you crack the encryption easily enough in a few seconds and you gain access to it.  You don't find any data-bombs at all and your Analyze program isn't showing you anything unusual.

When you compare Jeshuas link with any of the ones you have found you don't notice any particular resemblance between them.
[OOC: roll a matrix analyze. ]


@Mercedes:

You see that the madame is still completely out cold and no there is no movement you can hear except for the nervous tapping coming from B.B. while he works over AR screens trying to scour the links for clues.

B.B. notices he's been grinding his teeth, and pops another piece of Betel gum.

[inca1980]

@B.B:

Your Analyze program doesn't see anything similar between the two comm's either.

[Walks Through Walls]

"How long do you think we have before the Yaks figure out that there is something wrong here and send someone to investigate?"

I take out some extra taser darts and reload my clips so I am ready for the next fight.
"B.B. do you think that since the programs are down that the girls might be able to answer questions now, or do you think they will still get fried?"

[Kontact]

"We aren't exactly downtown.  Closest Yakuza holdings are in Touristville, and they're no HTRT.  Still, if it means getting out of here before we're swamped with freaking cyberninjas, I say fry them all.  But, really, since Miss Dermal Plating 2060 here doesn't have the cyber that fried the first one, I'd say it's safe to ask her without her brain exploding."   
Brian paused to take a look around the dingy, spartan basement.  "I'm not too sure about the response we'll see here.  By not paying rent, the yaks are essentially squatting here.  Meanwhile, have you seen any security besides some old locks and two mooks only half as tough as a single Crusher?  This place is a scab, ready to flake off."
Taking the financial commlink, Brian began to browse for any transaction that would fit the boys frame and purpose.
"We've got to wake the madam.  Ask her about the boys and the symbol.  Find the tattoo or whatever and get the frag out of here."

[inca1980]

@B.B.:

You find a list of transactions that goes back months, many of which are charged directly to what look like honest to god real SINs with only the number scratched out (you think to yourself: paydata, "blackmailing goooold"!).  Sure enough, you see it:

<<2072.08.24 23:52 Germaine Robinson SIN#*********---1200¥>>.   

[Walks Through Walls]

"I don't know. Something still just doesn't seem right here. The Crimson Crush made it sound like the place was a fortress, and we find a couple of goons in the basement and madame bearhug here to keep out the rift raft. It just seems that the Crush could have shut them down at any time."

[Kontact]

"Just take the win Walks..  I found Germain's stamp.  The kids were here.  We need to wake the madam so Mercedes can talk to her.  Meantime, I'm going to the main room to hold down the place.  If anyone wants to join me, that'd be nice.  If shooting starts, and I have to fall back down here, well, chances are we'll all die in this windowless hole.  So chin up.  Things are going well!"

Brian plugged a data chip into the comm and copied the financial data straight to it. Make hay while the sun shines.
Then he attached the medkit to the madam's thigh, and paused as the med snake bored through her dermal plating into her Femoral artery. 
"I'm going to do this by remote.  I don't want that crazy bitch giving these yaks my face.  Ping me when you want her awake, and. please, grab my kit on the way up."
The touchy work done, Brian swapped out his clip of Stick-n-shock for a clip of Explosive ammo.

[OOC:  Inca, I figure with 14 dice (6 command 6 kit 4 augs -2 remote,) I can buy 3 hits for the one Stun healed needed to wake her up.  I'm also assuming you decided to nerf stick-n-shock along with tazers.]

[Walks Through Walls]

Walks through Walls drops the increased reflexes spell she had been maintaining and watches the world slow down like a thrill ride taking off. With a sigh she waits until she is reacquainted with the speed of the world and then says, "I can use a physical mask to change Mercedes appearance and stay down here with her out of sight. Then B.B. you and Woofer can watch upstairs. If the Yaks show up let us know and we'll go up to you using magic and stealth rather than retreat into the basement without an exit."

Walks through walls looks around at the speed at which the world is again moving around her and thinks, "I cannot wait until I learn how to quicken that spell and can keep it up all of the time."

[Sludig]

"I'll head up with BB then, maybe there's something upstairs in a office that might give us an idea where to look next.  Walks, I agree, something smells."

[FastJack]

"Actually, if we simply blindfold her, I'll be fine."

[inca1980]

@Mercedes&Walks:

As the medkit begins injecting mild stimulants and painkiller you see the good eye of the prone madame opens up and she groans as if she were a tranquilized lion on a vets operating table at the zoo.  She doesn't say anything but by the way she's breathing and the way her eyeball is scanning her perifery you can tell she's awake but not very cognizant.  You take some bandaging from the medkit and blindfold her with it.  After about 30 seconds can tell that she has become more aware of her surroundings because you see her tug at her bonds but she's way to weak to give it an earnest attempt. 

@Woofer&B.B.:

When you get out of the basement door and head into the lobby you notice everything is as quiet as a mouse.  Woofer moves towards the backroom that he saw the madame come out of at first.  It's a far cry from an office and is basically another living room which heads into a kitchen.  A shiny black kitchen drone lies in power-save mode on a counter top and the room looks quite clean. 

B.B. strolls around the lobby keeping his eyes peeled.

[FastJack]

Mercedes clears her throat and then speaks in a voice almost identical to Governer Brackhaven. [OOC: Just choosing a random voice that would sound nothing like my own.]

"Now, my dear. You'll tell us everything we want to know about the Germaine boy and the AR game. Or my associates will do more than fry your eyeball."
