It is already evening and the chip delivered to the geeks with a small drone. You are amazed about the coverage of these people. Kynos receives a text it is from DemoX and say: >> 100k + window of opportunity in a few hours. We have a lucrative BFF. Meet me at the Booby Trap.

Kynos replied:
<<Should I bring Athos? I usually don't abandon jobs half done, but 100k are a really good incentive.>>

@Kynos DemoX reply >>Bring whomever you like a body worth 100k already deposited at a trusted 3rd party, but the more mice the less cheese if you get me.

"Oy Athos, hate to leave you in the middle of a run, but the Dwarf just called me with an interesting business proposal. 100k total and the job is urgent. You guys wanna come? I'm sure we could use your talents for something like that. I'm off to the Booby Trap."
Kynos had removed the mask and stashed his rifle in his bag, before he got onto his bike.

Athos agrees.  "I think it is time to go back.  Yulia, can you alert Jack and Nagisa that we have a puzzle for them?" 

"Sure," I chime in even as I stay alert in the situation.  My feral mode has come as quite a surprise, even embarrassment, to me and I stick even closer to Athos...afraid more of myself than any external threat.  I'll reach out to Nagisa and jack as soon as we're back on the surface.

Maxwell had followed after Kynos out of the sewer and back to the van.  He takes off the mask and throws it in the back, pushing his hair back in place as he does.  "Until we find another lead on Grail then I don't have much else to do right now.  So I don't mind going and I could use some cash too."

Athos shakes his head.  Sounds like a great payday, but I would assume it is a solid total so is divided by the team.  Yulia and I will go check out a lead a clinic.  It seems that the detonation of the building originated from there.  We may be able to find something out.  Kynos, do you think that you can contact your KE friend and ask her if she has any information about a dead female Ork that was found in the ruins of the warehouse?  There was no one there when it exploded, so someone added it after.  And shortly after, I would think.  You two stay safe and give me a call if you get into something you cannot handle."  He holds out a hand to the two as he brings up his commlink and a credstick.  "Here, you guys have sticks?  5K to Kynos for your help so far and 300 plus 2K for Sovereign for your help so far.  I hoe that I can count on you gentlemen in the near future?"  Athos slots the amounts to the sticks they offer up and returns them. 

After watching the others leave he turns to Minnie.  "Let's leave Jack and Nagisa to the chip for a bit and go look at this clinic.  Ready?"
"Speech"  *Thought*  <Matrix>

Maxwell thanks the troll and walks next to Kynos at his bike.  "This is gonna sound a bit selfish but can I ride along with you?  I'd rather not risk a speeding gargoyle ticket if I can avoid it.  That's assuming the bike can handle more than one person."

To Athos Kynos said:
"Thanks, I'll call as soon as I'm free again. We'll get that vamp and Venom."

To Souvereign he said:
"Sure, but it's a small bike. You'll have to hang on tight."
Indeed the handling of the small machine was quite sluggish with the additional passenger. The situation is not helped by the fact that Kynos now had to balance his bag in front of him.
Driving: 10d6t5 4[10d6t5=5, 2, 6, 2, 1, 6, 5, 2, 3, 2]



But the tall elf managed to get them to their destination without any accidents. With a sigh he stashed his weapons - beside the taser in his bag together with helmet, mask and forearm guards, before entering the Booby Trap.

@Kynos and Maxwell the Booby trap is as crowded as usual and when you arrive one of the dancers approaches Kynos and flirtatiously grabs his hand and lead him to a private room. Kynos can already imagine who the employer is going to be as he see's DemoX happily partying with Candy and two of her dancers. The same candy, whose BTL addiction nearly ruined their warehouse gig a bit before. As usual, the ladies do their things and IT manifests only this time you are a bit less surprised. Kynos can also spot a pack of BTL chips already suggestively placed on the table.

“I am glad I caught your attention, government is not happy about missiles arriving to street gangs and we were all on alert. I closed down on the source of the leak and he pointed Venom as his man on the other side. Since I know that once you find a single bad apple there are many, the supplier will serve consequences but Ares would like the buyer eliminated from the game. Parked outside is my ford and DemoX has the keys and marks and I can drive for you if you need me while jumped in.

Venom will recognize this car and will lose his temper on sight. At least I hope he does, just like he did with my Bulldog. Venom RSVPed a party at mayor's mansion. I will be there as well, it took sometime but I found out that he is going to arrive as the date of a local businesswoman Amanda Winter. This is Ares job but it is also personal, I want Venom dead and I want his body cremated. I want to keep his ashes in a jar and then spread them over the ocean. The pay is 100k for a prove of death and 25k bonus if you can deliver him in a cremation urn. I wish I could take a more active role... but... well you’ll understand when you see me at the party. Do not approach me at the party tough, I never met you.  I have some invitations for you, and a tailor contact to cloth you to the party. You have invitations and might want to go in to establish contact with the mark. I really do not need to know the exact details.  It is in a few hours and the tailor will need about 30 minutes to cloth you properly. Do not worry in the car there are also armored vests for underneath the suits.

Now I hope that it is clear that you do not kill Venom in the middle of a party in the mayor’s house. You tail him from there and once he get to a place less populated... a place where people are more receptive to terrible things happening to people only then you kill him. That said, I am sure you'll figure a way to relatively discreetly kill him.”


@Athos and Minnie: You deliver the chip easy as pie, and Jack has a rotodrone to pick it up within less than 10 minutes. You are surprised how good his coverage of the city is. Shortly after another drone arrives, it is your glasses and they are good as new. The communication came from a cyber clinic to the south edge of the Barrens. They specialize on used cyberware and you recall Jack warning you from them as dangerous people. Nagisa provided you the device id and with a simple inspection you can find the device used.

To the outside the place is disguised as a massage parlor that is so shady that it is obvious that it is just a washed word to a second grade brothel. When you enter the hostess greets you wearing revealing and somewhat revealing leather clothing. She clearly was once very pretty although the pollution in the air and the sun clearly now give their mark on her skin and there are more than a few wrinkles on her face. She smiles at you and seductively ask “What can I do you for...”

"Lady, if you weren't an apparition I'd kiss you right now. I really like that package. Just one minor bit: We need Venom to confess to a few other things as well to tie up a few loose ends. I gather you won't have a problem with him being interrogated before we burn and kill him...
Or kill and burn him. Depends entirely on his cooperation."


Kynos grinned at Souvereign: "Oh, by the way: Sovereign, that's DemoX and IT. Souvereign is also very interested in removing Venom from the picture."

Over commlink he sent to Maxwell: <<Do you have a spell to disguise yourself as Venom? That way we could make even more money after we kill Venom, by pretending to sent him back to Japan>>

IT grins and say "Thank you for the kind words, although I am certainly less impressive than that date you dined with in that romantic restaurant. You can take him sight seeing as far as I care. As long as he dies and his death is not overly public my employer pays if you bring a proof of death. If you get the right package... well you are certainly going to make me very happy." . She smiles bitterly... "I trust that you already know how to leave this room descreetly... no hacking the entertainment system this time." she laughs.

"Thanks for the introduction but IT and I have met on an earlier happenstance.  The dwarf on the other hand I've never seen before.  Believe me when I say that nothing would please me more than to send his shriveled head in sack back to his father in jap-land.  Or in this case giving his ashes to you in an urn.  However I should say that a mutual friend has warned me that such an act could be worse for us down the road.  Not that it matters much to me or i'm afraid or anything.  Just thought I should point it out is all."

Maxwell returns Kynos' grin with a sinister one of his own.  "Victory through fire and subterfuge.  I can't wait."

Discreetly he messages him back.  <<Unfortunately I don't know any complex illusions such as that.  But I might be able to get that confession out of him.>>

Kynos shrugged: "Since Venom has teamed up with a Vampire, there probably won't be anyone anymore in Japan who wants him back. But we'll burn that bridge when we get there. "Viel Feind viel Ehr" as we say back home.

Get your gear DemoX, the sooner we start the sooner we can roast marshmallows over Venom."


Remembering Athos request, Kynos contacted Max: <<Hey Max, greetings from Athos. He'd like to know if you know something about a female ork whose body was found in the debris of the exploded warehouse. He says there was no-one like that with him when he was trapped there. Love Kynos>>

Kynos Max texts you >> How do you know that? Such dedication... That woman sacrificed her life to act as a fail safe in case technology failed. We believe that she manually triggered the explosives, at least this is what the deckers say. These systems have a black box and the trigger command never reached the mechanism.  Who will sacrifice life to do warehouse, want to be more surprised?  She does not exist, and I am not talking sinless I am talking completely erased. Even sinless have fake identities, they buy things they leave some digital traces of their existence.  All I know about her is that she is asian, probobly foreigner and she had a distinctive tattoo and lived a very active life style. Multiple gunshot wounds and damage to the knees common with professional swordmen. Our current investigation is focused toward Japan, but we really have very little to go with. I must say that some of the leads are prophetic and not hard evidence.
