To help speed the search along, Maxwell started darting through each corpse that looked like a woman's frame with his eyes.

Perception: 11d6t5 1
Pretty good roll.  At least it didn't glitch I guess.

Kynos ambled towards the freezers, looking for AR tags. The full body armor prevented him from smelling anything, so it felt more like a visit to a wax museum of boring ordinary dead people.

Matrix Perception: 7d6t5 3 [7d6t5=5, 5, 1, 4, 2, 6, 1]

Finding the corpse wasn't actually rocket science, just following the description in the matrix, that was all...

I carefully follow after Gi, thanking Mouse for my strong stomach and tolerance to putrid smells.

@Kynos the corpse you are looking for is located in the evidence section and the closet that contains it is locked with a magnetic lock. It appears that corpses marked as evidence are not yet burned these are the good news, the bad news is that you'll have to bay-pass the lock somehow.

@Maxwell physically the mourge is just one big hall with many 'drawers' that store dead bodies. there are no names or indicators on the bodies and AR is the only way to know what you are looking at.

@Minnie once in the water you can breath finally. You make it half way to the city before you are ambushed by a rotor drone that opens fire on your boat. It appears that someone with access to technology really wants one of you dead. The problem is, the way things are you are not even sure witch one of you.

(roll initiative + declare action).

"We're being shot at!"

A boat in middle of the water with not a stitch of clothes on is not a place you want to be playing target.  Unfortunately that's where I find myself.  I look around the boat for anything that might serve as a weapon against a distant attacker.

Athos continues looking for the body of the woman and sends out a call to his companions.  >>Hey guys.  Either of you find anything?  Not much luck here.  I just hope that they have not burned her already.<<

<<Found it. I'm in section 2 by the freezers. It's locked. Does anyone of you have a pick or something?>> Kynos wasn't sure if he could just cut off the lock with his miniwelder - even KE would notice that... probably.

The drone just hover in mid air and lunch ridiculas amounts of automatic fire, Gi with his lighting reflexes quickly breaks to the right trying to confuse the drone and setting you in a collision path into a passenger ship - one that normally does tourists tours over the lake but right now seems to bring people illegally to the same island you came from.

There is all sort of junk in the boat, from canned food, survvial knife, fishing equipment and a pistol. Who would leave home without it nowadays. (It'll take a complex action to browse the boat )

Athos goes to the room Kynos indicates.  **I guess this is where I get to see if the Yaks are good with their papers.**  He finds the most tired looking assistant coroner and motions to Kynos and Sovereign while waving the papers provided by Mr. Andu.  "Hey!  Here is one of the coroners.  Looks like they're working their asses off down here.  One of you two lay-abouts come over and get his signature on these papers for the release of the body Commander Winter wants to see."  Athos is hoping that the one of his companions with the best chance to score a con against the overworked and nearly exhausted man will come over and take charge of the papers.  The papers might be enough, but it never hurts to have someone with a bit of the glib in his voice do this and Athos has none.

Kynos drudged over, not caring to open the visor of his helmet. Looming over the assistant he indicates the door with the corps: "YOU, open up this freezer and show me where to sign. WHAT, why are you standing still here? Move your ass, we are late as it is with this fucking zombie-calypse. I already had to shoot two guys to get here - I got lucky that they were zombies. But I swear to god - if we miss our transport because of you I'll take your corpse with us instead."

Maxwell reads through the messages sent and heads over to where Kynos stands.  He was in the process of figuring out a quiet way of opening the door when he noticed Athos going off about something.  Maxwell gets the hint and strides over to the coroner assistant and tries his luck at guile again.  Kynos seemed to have other plans and moved faster than him.  Hilariously yelling at the guy to open the door.  Maxwell waited to see if that had an effect before trying one of his two ideas.

The man tells Athos “You simply do not have the right papers. You need to fill a 1/30b and submit it, but these things take ages to approve. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.” When Kynos yells at him he seems a bit shaken “Okay, okay just don’t hurt me.  You are not knights are you?... cyber dealers? don’t answer I really don’t want to know. I am not dying for minimum wage.” He opens the locker and say “Now please help me place that other body in there.”
A brief AR file opens before you, indicating that the body is indeed from the warehouse explosion and is tagged unidentified - suspected government agent. The report also includes an extensive augmentations list each mapped to the cyber clinic that performed the surgery. All of the augmentations were performed in Portland.  The list includes, augmented reflexes, titanium bones and a skill and data jack. You do not have time to browse the file because as you remove the body the clerk quickly places a different body in the cell and the file disappears as he does. “Get out of here before I lose my job” He say as he locks the cell and examine carefully your documents to appear busy.

Athos helps the man replace the body then picks his up and leaves the morgue, returning to the car and driver.  After placing the body in the trunk, the crew gets back in the car and he tells Balls to drive.  As the car moves off, he sends a quick note to Luna, >>Luna.  It is Athos.  I have your friend's body.  Tell me where to deliver it and meet up there.<<

"So Athos, not that I don't enjoy seeing interesting places and shouting at people, but what do you expect this body to prove?"
Kynos had taken off his helmet and once again was prodding a corpse.

Athos smiles wryly and laughs, his boom filling the car.  "To be honest, nothing.  So far every step I have taken and every promised answer has yielded nothing more than innuendo and "truth", but no proof of anything that will stand up to a Family court.  I am more or less expecting the same thing again.  But there is a chance that Luna will cough up what she knows without sending me on yet another clue hunt.  No, if this does not pan out, I am done looking.  I have a lunch date with one of the senior Family members still alive after last night.  I am going to present a plan to him that I believe will strengthen our position in the turf we control.  You guys are more than welcome to be part of this or remain on the fringe.  I have a deep respect for the talents of both of you and if this works out, I will be sending you more work that you can handle.  By the way, that was good work back in the morgue, both of you.  Thanks for the help.  We still need to find Venom and Yulia, and I hope that she is OK and contacts me soon."
