[OOC:Madame's Con resist: Neg 4 + Cha 5 + wound -3 = (6d6.hits(5)=1) ]

As soon as you mention "Germaine boy" you notice the madame stop shifting and tugging on her bonds and tense up slightly.  Suddenly she responds in a raspy voice.  "We don't talk of such things here.  We can't. That's the way it was designed.  I don't know where your boys are.  All I can say is you're supposed to figure it out for yourself otherwise you're not ready for it.  Please don't make me say anything more!  I knew that couple would mean trouble the minute the woman started asking strange questions.....stupid stupid..."  You see her start to sniffle and you think she might be crying a little bit behind the gauze bandages wrapped around her head.

[FastJack]

Mercedes raises her eyebrows at the reaction, "What couple? Tony? <pause as if listening to someone else> Oh, the ones we 'took care of'. Heh. No, darlin' we're with other interested parties. You say you're not allowed to talk about it? Is it hardwired into your system? If it is, and you can't say, don't say anything."

@Mercedes:

The Madame remains silent other than for a few little sobs which escape every few seconds.

[FastJack]

Mercedes nods at Cynthia, indicating they're not going to get anything else out of her. "Today's you're lucky day, lady. We're not going to press the issue since we're in a hurry. But if you don't stay quiet right where you are, that could change."

Over the slush channel: <<<<<She's wired like the girl upstairs. We're not going to get anything more out her. She says we "have to play the game" to get more information on the kid. Anything upstairs?>>>>>

[Kontact]

<<<<<@Team Shush:  Nothing yet.  You'll know when it happens though.  The explosions and automatic weapon fire will be the signal.  Ask her which girl has the tattoo or at least who the kids saw.  Woofer's got a lot of flesh to sift through looking for that symbol.  There's got to be something she can say that's related to the next clue.>>>>>

Brian took up a position on the stairs leading to the 2nd floor.

[FastJack]

Mercedes nods to herself as she gets B.B.'s message. "Can you at tell us which girl the boy saw and if she's the one with the tattoo?"

[inca1980]

@Mercedes:

The Madame's little sobs grow a little louder and she starts shivering as if it had become very cold in the basement even though the temperature is unchanged.  The gauze bandages are soaked through with sweat and tears.  She shakes her head and mutters almost under her breath, "....that's j-j-just th-the way it-t-t was d-d-d-d-d-designed."  She then falls silent and continues to shiver.

[FastJack]

<<<<<We're not getting anything else out of her without frying her brain.>>>>>

[Walks Through Walls]

At team shush "O.K. we need to find the AR symbol I am clueless on how to do that."

[inca1980]

Time--16:00

[Kontact]

<<<<<Strip search.  I'm sort of working defense here, otherwise I'd dig in.  You know what, fuck it.  Panty raid time.>>>>>

B.B. ran up to the second floor to check the hookers' rooms.  "Federal booty inspector!  Do you have this symbol tattooed anywhere on your body!"
Brian brought up the symbol as an ARO on the tip of his gloved finger.

[Walks Through Walls]

I'll go up and cover the front door

[Sludig]

Woofer sighs, and searches the Madam's room, and then back to Agnes' room, checking to see if she has a tattoo.

[inca1980]

@Woofer:

Before you go back up to Agnes's room you try to REMEMBER whether or not she had any tats   

@Federal Booty Inspector:

After busting in about 5 rooms you come across  a total of 3 females and it's the same deal with all of them.  You find them sitting on the edge of their beds and they just stare at you as you come in.  When you throw up the symbol and ask them for answers they just sit there silently looking at you.  You feel like you have two ways to go, either strip search these chicks and have them show you the money or try to figure it out like Jeshua and Isamu probably did.  Your usually highly analytic mind feels like this shouldn't be that hard and figuring it out would be faster and safer....maybe looking back at the online pictures of these chicks would lend some clues...you put the system offline though so you'd have to go back in the node or bring it all back up online. 

The way that code looked and felt when you touched the AR symbol back at the Chalice was different.  Not different in the way you'd felt the few times you'd come into contact with Resonance code....it was just some darn unique programming.  The way it was able to hide itself with hardly a trace and the unorthodox protocols it used make you feel like hacking a bunch of girls standard grade personafixes so thoroughly and in such detail wasn't too far fetched.  Maybe it was some form of malware.  Whatever it was just seemed to be serving a secondary purpose to whatever those chicks can't really talk about.

"Aww, dicks."  B.B. sat down in a chair shaped like a hand, but with the texture of jello.  He had to hop quite a bit to do so.  "This is just not working out, hooker number 5.  Uhh.."  He searched his memory from the photos on the node's public end.
