@Athos and Minnie. The lady say "my name is Aura, and as you might know this place is not only a brothel. It is a place for patrons to rest while and recover from cyber surgery. With hospitals being so expensive, this is the best most of us can get. Therefore, we are no strangers to taking care of sick people. Sometimes mental cases, cyber addicts that think they are superhuman, you know the drill. You seem to be well into the augmentation department yourself. Although, I am not sure we have anything to offer you at our quality level."
She sighs "Some times ago came a patron that was looking to sell a cyberdeck, his own cyberdeck so he claimed. The only problem is that it was integrated into his head and removing it required surgery. Now the deck had some sophisticated anti theft mechanisms, placed by the kind of deckers that do not want to share their secrets even at death. The man gave us no warrning about these mechanisms and was very eager to get the deck out of his head. As the surgeon cut his head open the deck exploded and sprayed his head all over the operation room. We managed to salvage the deck and fix it, but it is far from its previous glory and not marketable, not unless the decker is especially desperate. "
She sigh
"We'd conclude it as another odd night... Suicide by cyber-surgery is especially bad for our business but I've seen my share of odd shit. I would not have suspected a thing if the police did not come snooping as well as many powerful people in the Mafia, the Yakuza they were very violent. I have three girls in a hospital and two more recovering here.
Then things got extremely odd, 3 men all dressed in white and clearly as high as kites. Entered the brothel. They came to ask questions but were clearly too high to talk fluently. They kept dancing and singing and eventually when they did get to talk they asked no questions. Instead, they said that they came to pay for my medical bills. How did they know about medical bills I have no idea and I have never seen them before in my life. What they wanted in return was even stranger and believe me I do not use that word very often... They said that a talking cat is 85.9% likely to enter this joint in the near future, and if that cat comes I need to give him a message. While I felt bad taking money from people that are clearly mentally insane with a poor link to reality their cred was good and there was little choice these girls would have died without their help. We needed their cred even more than we realized, without it we'd been out of business already.
You see, nobody but regulars came here since the Mafia and Yakuza started pressing us. People are afraid and they will not rest in a place that is perceived dangerous. We barely sustain ourselves and the only thing that keep us going is that we felt comfortable enough to keep some of the girls here instead in the hospital like the crazy kites wanted. "
