With unexpected ease, bnc pinpointed Feng's position. He seemed to have moved into the room directly next to the fire escape.
Torrent reached moments later the window and peered through the shutters:
Feng sat at a desk and used an old fashioned fountain pen to make some entries in a large leather bound book. A safe is open at his side from where the book most likely came. Otherwise there are some boxes of ammunition, a stack of cred sticks and some more books.
The safe is made to vanish into the floor if not in use.

The room itself is furnished again in the typical Feng Shui pattern with a mirror and other wall decorations. The noise of the restaurant is still clearly audible up here and Lung Feng is very concentrated on his work.
Torrent estimates that he could get in silently if he manages to pick the window.


Threshold of 3 to open the window without noise.
bnc has a trace on Lung Feng's commlink +2 marks on all the gear in his PAN

It takes only a moment for Torrent to manipulate his qi and  boost his agility.The surge of magical power is enough to help him open the window without making a sound in the process.He hides his tools and unholsters his Guardian.Trusting bnc to warn him about any alarms and sensors he enters the room and approaches Feng.

About time we had a little chat.

I want to go behind Feng and put the gun to his head.

Slobbertooth saw what Torrent was doing through the image link and began inching closer to the restaurant for when something invariably went wrong.

Krestov blinked a few times as he "used the restroom", using the time to keep track of the team's visual feeds and communications.  Inwardly he cringed a bit at bnc's latest response, wondering if he just agreed to purchase her the implant he mentioned as a joke.  wouldn't want to lose face...oh, we're moving in.  Stepping out of the stall, the troll went to wash his hands, in the event anyone else is in there, firing off a message.

<<@Team: Krestov here.  bnc, disabling weapons on Feng requested by time Torrent is moving.  Can be up in seconds.  If worried, Torrent, please give sign>>

Feng scratched his neck at the sudden draft but did not stop to carefully write into the book.
He did stop when Torrents gun made contact with Feng's head.
Very slowly Feng laid down the pen and spread his two hands flat on the desk before saying:
"Know this is a mistake. If you go now I'll consider not to have my mages hunt you down like an animal. Who sent you?"

Hacking on the Fly: 19d6t5 5
Since I don't his Opposed roll, there are two possibilities now:

Possibility 1: He scored less hits:
I load Fork and attempt to Format Device both weapons:
Format Device: 17d6t5 5
And then reboot them:
Reboot Device: 17d6t5 7 (limited to 5 since I didn't load Crash in favor of Fork)

Possibility 2 (or if he outscores me in any of the following tests) the brutal way.

I load my Battle mode and Data spike the whip's container:
Data Spike: 17d6t5 5

Worked. Weapons won't respond now.

Lucky time for bnc ;-) I relaunch Baby Monitor. I assume my OS is around 10?

<@Team <His weapons are out. The proper way: There's no way he even realized what I just did.>>

And now let's do some magic....

Edit File: 17d6t5 5
Feel free to use another matrix action for this. I just thought overwriting the "telephone number" would be the simplest way to do this.


Smirking, bnc further attacks her victim, this time intruding his very commlink. She searches for the mages' entries, identifying them by either connaissance from her matrix research or deduction, and subtly edits them to redirect them to her commlink (which is not slaved to her cyberdeck). In case he would contact them, bnc would answer the call.
She then searches for phone call logs to acquire some snippets from older conversations to copy into the call, making the illusion more profound.

Showtime, bastard! Never mess with an undernourished bitch!

The code exchange worked without a hitch, but Lung Feng did not try to call. Instead he was really concentrated not to move despite having a wireless DNI.

"Don't do anything stupid.It would be a shame If  your brains stained the pages.You don't see many real books in Seattle anymore."


Torrent lightly pressed the gun against Feng's temple.

"On the other hand, I heard Seattle has an abundance of eastern European men who go by the name of Scary Spice.Know anything about that?"

bnc loads Fly on the Wall and carefully watches the commlink's activity, ready to intervene, should he perform any Matrix actions.
Yeah, and she's cheering silently after everything went so smooth.

There was an edge to Lung's voice as he said:
"Haven't you heard? He is dead, shot down this morning and now in some morgue. There is no need to threaten me. I met with him yesterday, he wanted to store something illegal but I turned him down. That is the extend to my dealings with him. Whatever he owes you, I have nothing to do with it."

"I don't have time for your bullshit.You had your chance to come out of this unharmed and you blew it."

Torrent searches for the building's  intercom and calls the barman

@Sabato Kuroi
You know, I really like that move. Have one Edge back, you magnificent bastard  ;D



Feng didn't dare to move his head. You only hear him mutter "...that's not how I sound at all."

At the bar the sulking barkeep suddenly developed an interest in Krestov: "The boss wants to see you. Follow me."
Without waiting for him, she moved away from behind the bar and led the Troll to the "staff only" door and up the stairs.
"It's the door on the left. Go right in, he is waiting for you."
She turned around quickly to get back to the vacant bar - obviously the boss would not be happy if she left her post for longer.
