The Weasel's eyes narrow to a slit. "I must have misheard. That sounded considerably like a threat to my misguided ears. Better hand me the two hundred and see to cover up whatever shit you have to bury.
Come with me, and you'll get your stuff right away."

He sends a message to somebody, then leads you into the lobby where he asks you to wait. He walks off and returns around twenty minutes later with a small plastic container. Inside, you find four ampuls and syringes.

[Jack_Spade]

Cinder closed the container, nodded to Weasel and walked out to his chummers:
"So far so good. Now we need a test subject that won't be missed. Normally, I'd suggest the drug dealer. But we might actually need him again.
Any suggestions or volunteers?"

[gilga]

Mark asked "Remind me what do you plan to do with these drugs ? "

[Jack_Spade]

"We want to capture that one employee of the researchers, that looks and acts like a weed-fan. We grab him, get all info out of him we can and drug him, so we can release him again without raising any red flags at the facility."

[luckace]

"Let's not forget 'bout the doctor. I think we should also drug him so he forgets about us and can't tip us off to the temple."

[Jack_Spade]

"Good point. That will be our test subject.
Only problem: This drug has to be injected. So, you'll need to either get an auto-injector or we need to find a slap patch."

[gilga]

Mark said "There is a possibility to do it with mojo, I can summon a spirit with some mind tricks. Disguise it as a small animal, and go with a disguise and enter that shop myself. All I need to do is place the syringe and ask the spirit to compel him to inject it.  Nothing illegal on camera and I do not have to hack his place again to eliminate evidence.

That said, I'd be happy for a non magical approach if you have one as it is less dangerous. Mind tricks are especially nasty. By the way I stole some data from that guy care to have a look? Might give us some ideas. "

With that Mark shares the stolen paydata with Cynder and Scarcraw and skim it briefly trying to refine the plan and make it less dangerous.

The file contains the whole case of Bikki aka Musaa aka Ambir.

It is difficult to understand a lot without having basic knowledge in neuroscience. Basically, what you find is a lot of technical stuff, a lot of brain areas and words you've never known they exist, a lot of "cerebral stimulations", "axiomatic impulse transductions" and "kalium factories". For all you know, this could be anything.

Except, of course, you roll on a fitting knowledge skill or ask a fitting contact to check it.
The incident with Harka is now roughly 50 minutes past.

[luckace]

Scarcrow didn't understand any of the science-mumbo-jumbo. "I could show this to Liz, I suppose. She'd know what all of this means... Don't know how happy she is about helping us out yet again, though. And actually, Johnson really made a big deal 'bout secrecy, so i don't think she'd like an independent cyberdoc to get involved.
But we don't need to understand it, right? How'bout we just send this to Johnson right away as a first result of our work?
She has the experts to tell us the importance of the document, then she could tell us if it would be worth getting the protocols of the other kids - in that case we can just focus on Harka and his clinic for now."

About Mark's plan:
"How good are you with disguises? They already know us both, and they'll be alerted, so you going in again bears quite a risk. Keep in mind that the ork probably has some really fancy eyeware. If you wanna fool him, your disguise gotta be perfect.
Wouldn't it be less risky if we let our cop do the talking with the doctor? Harka doesn't know Cinder, and you can probably make up some excuse-inspection to get close to him.
Mark, can you also send your spirit with Cinder?"

[Jack_Spade]

"Ok, I'll visit the doctor. I'll ask him if I can buy an autoinjection gun from him. I'll let him show me how it's handled. Hopefully, I'll be able to jab him "accidentally".
Cinder replied

[gilga]

Mark said "It seems reasonable - and my disguises are very good, without prior knowlege or magical eyes it is difficult to tell the difference. I could have been a professional makeup artist if I was not a criminal."

[Volker]

Cinder finds that Harka's room has not moved away, surprisingly. It's still there, still empty, still dimly lit.

If you enter, you see the same the two saw:
As you enter, you come into a dimly lit room. The stench of blood is in the air, but it is not strong. A bell rings as you enter and an ARO informs you that the doctor is busy at the moment but asks you to sit down on the aluminium chairs or help yourself to a soykaf at the machine which is standing in the corner. All in all the room hast the air of semi-professional efficiency. It is clean where it has to be, but neglected where it is not (your stools, for example). You find some physically white screens filled with dynamic ARO advertisments on new cyberware. Except for the seats, a table, some magazines and the soykaf machine, there's not a lot of stuff in the room.
Through a stained glass door, you can hear a voice shout "Moment!" after a while. If you wait, a small Nepali arrives in your room. He's wearing his black hair very short, has big bulging eyes, a fleshy nose, but a very slim and pointy chin. The man is wearing a doctor's coatlab, no gloves and heavy boots. An array of tools is dangling from a belt around his waist. He gives you a searching look.
"Ah. Ah. Sir. What can I do for you. How can I help you?"

[Jack_Spade]

"Are you Harka? I was told you are a good surgeon. I was wondering if I could buy an autoinjector gun for insulin treatment from you. My aunt can't handle the syringes anymore and frankly, I really don't like needles.

Also I'd need you to show me how to use one correctly."

Cinder said while standing up

[luckace]

Staying at a safe distance ,Scarcrow looked if he could make out the ork-bodyguard.
If the area is clear, he will look for a place from where he can watch th e entry without getting seen. If there are no such spots, he keeps his distance.

"I am. I don't know exactly why you need a good surgeon to buy an autoinjector gun, but let's see whether I have some in my stock.

Uuuh ... uh, yeah. There should be one in my stock. My nurse will dig it out and explain it to you, sir. Do you need any medication?

Uhm. With all due respect. How old is your aunt-madame? If she is, well, of a stable condition, else-wise so to say, I might implant and auto-injection system. You re-fill it roughly once a week, and it does the job itself. No pain, no care, no syringes, no problems. Guarenteed. Would save ya much of a hassle, right?"


With plain sight, the ork is not to be seen from the side of the street where the entrance is. Either he is in another room, or hiding, or not on the base floor. Or Scarcrow's simply blind.
