But in that case, me and Yako also should also not go, Flea - did overcome her troubles- tough we could assume that even in  her case their rigger had an image link.  The only one that did not have an image link is the mage, he does not seem to be into technology - but even for him she shows him the hacked commlink 

He found James and Inanna according to some sort of description provided by that *overseer*. Maybe I am too soft at hurt, but I had troubles trying to...
It seems like saying the word, takes an effort from IT
*kill* someone if their description was not visual.

[Siren]

Eun Ju thinks for a moment. 

"Nowhere here with the appropriate tools for this kind of damage, but I think Max probably has a suitable workshop he'd let you use.  Nice guy, if a little overbearing at times.  I'll send you his contact details."



The damage to the commlink was extensive and it won't stay online long, but long enough for IT to extract data from it.  A good deal of it is corrupted, but you do manage to extract a few files.  The first appears to be instructions of some sort, dated shortly after your hiring:

>>Excellent work Cat.  Make sure your team gets trackers on at least one of them.  Put up a fight, but don't kill them yet, we need to see what they know and where they go.  Find out what the temple knows and what they told them.  If we play this right, we might even be able to bring them over to our side.  The sooner the Sisters can get the shamans out of here, the better for us. 

We expect to see your usual quality of work. We have certainly paid a lot of money for it.

The Sender ID is tied to a no longer existent SIN, most likely a burner.

The final file IT recovers is an extensive contact database.  Most of it is corrupted, but from the structure and size of the file, there must have been several hundred contacts in it. 

You also find a link and decryption key to a Matrix drop-site.  A cursory scan of the data suggests that it details the corporate structure and pay database of Revivification Industries.  Could be worth a fair amount to the right buyer.

Inanna slaps the mage cuffs on the unconscious man, and directs the temple staff to take him to the meditation room and keep watch until she arrives.  Next, Inanna finds Flea and hands off the toxic mage's commlink.  "I trust you may be able to find something useful on this?  It belonged to our new friend."

Figuring that the toxic mage will still need some time to sleep it off, Inanna heads to the interrogation room to talk with the plant.  Once inside, she comes on strong, all "You're going to give us your contact," and "We both know how this is going to end one way or another," but after a few minutes, she asks the guards to leave the room, so that the two can be alone together.  Once that's happened, Inanna types something out on her commlink, and turns it over so that the man can see.

<<Send Message
<<Recipient:
<<Message: Is this room bugged?  Can we talk?  1 blink for yes, 2 for no.

Once the man has had a chance to read the message, she deletes the text and waits to gauge his reaction.

Flea smiles and bows to Eun Ju in thanks for her help.
Finding a quiet spot she reboots her hardware once more, clearing any MARKS off her devices and powers down her deck, her adrenaline levels returning to somewhere near normal.
Syncing her trodenet to her commlink, she mentally dictates a message to both IT and Max to arrange a space and time to work on the retrieved and badly damaged 'link

[Malevolence]

With the team together in one place, James distributes the funds from the credsticks he was given by Yeong Hi. 6000¥ minus 1200¥ for the van rental leaves 4800¥ split 5 ways gives each team member an extra 960¥ in their pockets.

Taking the information provided on the uniforms and ID of the deliverymen, James gets to work on creating disguises for the team. It's a few hours work, and by the time he is finished, the team has already left the safety of the compound and arrived in Seoul.


"They're expecting a payment to release the crate, so I suspect we'll need to provide that. Have we determined how much is owed?"

[Siren]

He pauses a moment, raising an eyebrow before reaching out to type in a reply.

"Almost certainly.  Surprising you would ask."



Max responds within seconds. A GPS coordinate embedded in his message.

"As long as you're with the Temple, feel free to use my space any time."

[gilga]

After her matrix searches IT got the message from Flea, apparently she arrived sooner to the temple and begun doing legwork. IT liked it, she liked being busy and although she tried her best talking to people was not her strong side. Flea offered a chance to do some hardware work, she had an extensive background in such work from her cooperate life. She indeed forgot a little over the years, but in this lifetime – her magic more than made up for it.

When she arrived she happily greeted Max, saying: Hey Max! Didn’t expect to see you so soon… I brought my toolkit but you seem to be a lot more… *settled*. Thank you for the opportunity to get my hands dirty again - in such a wonderful workshop...
 
Flea and IT opened the commlink casing and carefully worked on the schematics, the commlinks memory was badly damaged along with the power supply and several other key systems.
Using the schematics of the commlink and browsing through the technical specification they did manage to emulate some of the damaged hardware for long enough to access small parts of the memory.  The entire process took a couple of hours, IT found it fun and Flea was pleasant to work with.

Some people follow, other people lead there is a rare kind of people that knows when to lead and when to follow - rare in cooperation's where people are struggling for the recognition. Flea seemed to have that kind of flexibility.

Happy memories started to surface. She missed this kind of work, really missed it. There was this other commlink she recovered – a commlink of a SINless shadow runner, one that tried to extract her for a rival mega. SINless were human trash back then… barely even considered people. But they are people and she was young and narrow minded. Although she really wanted to go back, she knew it will never work again – she changed.

When they were done IT quickly packed her stuff and moved back to the temple. Thanks Max – it is always a pleasure – you got some nice equipment stuffed there, really nice… not bad even for a small cooperation lab.

If you ever need some extra hands with hardware – give me a call I’ll come if I am free.  It felt so good to actually do some honest labor for a change. Take a good care of my car... goodbye now.

On the way back from Max, IT sms Yako -<<Hey dearest... where are you send me location - we need a quick chat -  kisses >>   Once Yako replies, IT project and contacts her through the astral:  Hi - we are planning some legwork... at the customs you might want to help. Tell your talismonger friend I am sorry for barging into the astral like that not saying hello I am a bit in a hurry. You should look at this place from the astral the auras the colors. Anyhow I really got to go now, a lot of work to do.


When she is back IT contacts  godless with an encrypted message
<<Do you have access to an organization hash(no idle hand)... I need you update their list of employees - it is for a good cause. >>

She figures that knowing the organization name, goodless being a tech savy hacker should easily figure out what she means - but an observer without full context may struggle as there are thousands of organizations whose id matches the hash.
 If he is not good enough to figure it out - she will not need his help - he should know by now for what reason she will contact him.

[Csjarrat]

Thanks Max, will do.
Flea bows in thanks and heads to the workshop, meeting up with IT and making small talk as they set out to repair the burned out circuitry of the commlink.
It made the time fly, IT clearly earned the nickname through exceptional knowledge so Flea took a backseat, doing the easy stuff like cleaning points ready for re-soldering and part-assembling components ready for IT to work on.
A few hours passed and the task in hand done, Flea set out to meet up with the others via a vending machine and the ladies. She'd got the munchies and nature was calling.
Satiated by instant noodles and a mega-choc bar, she joined the others and settled into VR ready for some legwork

[ScytheKnight]

Yako  nods, not having really learned anything, but confirming much. She thanks Linque for the time and information before slipping quietly out the back again and riding through  the street to the temple to meetup with the rest of the team.

[Siren]

Godless replies within the hour. 

>>Yeah, I've got a couple backdoors open to their host.  What exactly do you want me to add?

[gilga]

<<I am sending you a list of SIN numbers and roles - we need these them to test positive should someone check if they actually work there... preferably at that specific role. >>

[rednblack]

Inanna continues her verbal tirade, and types out on her comm, <<We've supposedly been given wide berth, but something doesn't seem right.  Why are you here?>>

[Siren]

<<I am sending you a list of SIN numbers and roles - we need these them to test positive should someone check if they actually work there... preferably at that specific role. >>

>>I'm no GOD, but I think I can spoof your IDs for a few minutes at best.  Contact me before you get scanned and I'll do my best.



The man types out a subvocal mic frequency to tune your commlink to.  His voice flows in in slightly accented English.

"To out you guys.  Got a lot of money on keeping people out of my employers' business, not to mention my personal safety in the matter.  I'll admit, I underestimated these temple types and got sloppy.  Who'd have thought they'd have technos working the nodes? Got caught with my pants down this time.

What I want to know is what you're up to.  I expected your razorguy to show up and pummel a confession out of me.  What angle are you trying to work with me here?"

[rednblack]

Inanna continues typing on her comm, <<What we're up to?  I find that very hard to believe.  A toxic spirit tried to geek me not 3 hours ago.  I don't trust these temple types, but to be honest with you, I'm not going to trust some prisoner of their's who's trying to pull one over on me either.  So level with me, what's the business you're trying to protect?  If there's a lot of ¥ on this, I'm sure you're employers might spread a little my way, especially if I can guarantee that this little operation never gets off the ground.  Something about these temple types, I'm telling you, I think they might be planning on geeking us, but if I have to, I'll just walk away.>>

When Inanna is finished with her "interrogation" she joins the group to start planning for the run against customs.  "Alright, chummers, I'm thinking two groups, minimum, on the floor, and overwatch, maybe a third to keep things sneaky.  What's the play here?"
