Tanya remains quiet but shakes her head; she has voiced her opinion on the matter.  She realizes that it is hard to hold anything at all resembling a moral high ground when you are a thief.  Still, it was important enough to her that it needed to be said.

"I meant to hold on to the data as an insurance policy rather than to actively use it but it was Kumiho who risked his brain in the host so it's his call on this one I suggest.  We all have the reputations that we do due to discretion as well as effectiveness so I trust that the data won't be used inappropriately.  We should contact our J and let him get his slicers on to the code or we won't know anything.  Tanya, do you want to do that?" Requiem ensured that he included Kachina in on the question, they'd elected her group leader after all, but that had principally been for the tactical situation which they seemed, temporarily, to be out of...

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya looks to Kachina and receives a nod,  She looks through her internal address book and sends a text off to Saint James, including the rest of the team members as CC addressees.  >>It is Lady Marisart.  We have some paydata for you.  We have looked at some of it, but most of it seems to be encrypted beyond the current means of our guy.  We would like to get this into your hands.  The Return Safe people are not fooling around.  Corporate-grade security at a minimum, heavy magic presence, and armed as a corporate or military HRT.  Please advise our next step.<<

[Jayde Moon]

A response follows shortly thereafter:

<<@Lady Marisart cc Kumiho; Mother; Requiem; Kachina [Saint James] Excellent.  Please send the file through secure channels as instructed in the attachment.  This concludes your obligation in regards to the compensation granted upon our meeting.  I am certain that there will be more forthcoming upon analysis of the contents.  Going forward, I may call upon you?>>

There is a data bombed attachment, with permissions for Kumiho to open it, they include instructions for secure transfer of an item through Needle Net.

"Well it looks like we got paid. Who wants to get a drink?" said Mother.

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya smiles.  "I could use one.  And is that invitation to your place still open?"

[Lighthouse]

"Of course sugar. You'll have to mind between my two groups of friends using my apartment it's a little like a frat house at times but you are welcome. I just worry it won't meet your standards." said Mother.

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya smiles and laughs.  "Mother, you might just be surprised at where my standards are.  I am willing to try it.  I have my bike outside and can follow you there."  She turns to the others, "We should all stay in touch.  This is not over yet.  We need to see justice for Lyle and these people at Return Safe are deep in this.  Kumiho, will you be OK or do you need someone to see you home?  And Requiem, I will be by your dojo for some lessons.  Send me a text of your schedule so I can ask for you."

[Lighthouse]

"You might just continue to surprise me." said Mother getting in her car.

She drove them to her humble apartment in her poor neighborhood.

She let Tanya in the building and led her up to her apartment. Opening the door the small  living room was filled with LGBT Punks drinking beer led by Terr0r staring down Revere. Terr0r is a tan ork decker with a beard and breasts. revere is a pale elf in a suit with his nose in the air.

"I waited for you with these ruffians to talk...business. I see you have a guest I shall return later." said Revere.

"Yeah scram." said Terr0r.

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya wishes the others a good day and goes out with Mother, climbing on her Mirage and following the car.  She parks and secures the bike before following Mother into the building,  As they climb the stairs, Tanya says,  "It has been a while since I have been in a place like this, but I do remember.  Shacked with a bloke for a bit in a second floor walk-up flat.  That is the third floor for you over here.  He was an OK shag, but his sister?  She was very.........instructive.........in the art of sex.  Learned a lot from her.  He was mostly my temp conduit to a right decent fence."

The noise from the room can be heard from the landing, the walls are that thin.  Tanya follows Mother into the room and tries to get a good look at all of the players here.  She nods as she is introduced.  Most even seem nice and not overly surprised to have Mother bring a strange home with her.  The Keeb named Revere seems a snooty type, but the Ork named Terr0r seems nice enough.  "Nice to meet all of you, and please, Revere, do not go rushing off just because of me."  She nods to Terr0r.  "One of those beers happen to have my name on it?"

[obidancer]

I will see to take Kumiho back to his place. She answered Tanya.
Despite what St. James says, I do not feel this is over. For once, Kumiho, please look into tracing those calls if it is not too dangerous. Secondly, I'm wary of Steele's response to his place being invaded.
I won't stop anyone for going and enjoy themselves, but please stay on the look out. I feel the man is very resourceful.

If nothing happens, let's all check up on each other every four hours.

She gives her good bye to Mother and Tanya and offers Kumiho a ride home. Requiem, want to stick around? what's your take on what Return Safe actions will be today?

[Lighthouse]

"Those are my beers so of course you are welcome sugar." said Mother looking at Terr0r.

Terr0r went and grabbed a couple of cheap beers out of the fridge handed one to Mother and the other to Tanya.
"Well well who have we here?" said Terr0r smiling as she handed Tanya a beer.

Revere paused on his way to the door and appraised Tanya for a moment.

The rest of the party guests continued their conversations at a somewhat lower volume than before.

[Mercy Merchant]

Tanya smiles.  When she talks, her Brit accent is pronounced.  "Sorry, I am Tanya Marisart, an acquaintance of Mother's.  She offered me a place to sit for a bit.  Er, as long as no one objects?  I would not want to be a disturbance."

[Aria]

Requiem, want to stick around? what's your take on what Return Safe actions will be today?

"Sure, I'll stick around for a bit... I too don't think this is over yet. As to their reaction I guess that depends on whether they pick up on any finger prints, digital or otherwise, that we left. If they do then I would anticipate some serious digging into Tanya's background. I'll ask Silk to keep her ear to the ground for info requests on our Lady!"

[Lighthouse]

"I am called Revere. Enchante." said the elf holding out his hand to Tanya.

"Hey I thought you were leaving. The keeb is a square. You should let me show you a party." said Terr0r with a smile.

"Tanya is a new business associate. A toast. To one more day above ground sugar." said Mother holding up her beer.
