"A plan of attack, yes that seems like a good idea.  I doubt anybody's place is as ... roomy as yours, Tanya." Calico notes.

Tanya nods.  "Yes, there are certain advantages to my place, but it not be the best for everyone.  I only offer it as a potential meeting place.  Perhaps someone else had an opinion about this?  And I think that we should at least try to get some additional information first and perhaps visit the temple if that is allowed."  She looks to Ni Ni to see if she would allow such a thing.

"Only the monks who live within the monastery are present.  It is their home, but they understand the need for secrecy.  All of them were asleep during the attack, they claim they heard nothing of it.  Otherwise, the temple is currently secured by a private security firm, Chang Sing Security.  They have instructions to allow you in Tanya, along with any who accompany you."

She sighs slightly, then continues on.  "The bodies are on site still, they have been moved to a room until we take them for final disposition.  As for who has been on the site... it is visited by many, it is an open Temple, truly the main temple is not even closed through the night."

Ni Ni then turns to Kumiho, "The artifacts were on public display."  She takes her commlink and presses a button.  Tanya's commlink chirps with a received message, which the red head checks, making a mental note to pass them on to everyone else.  "I just sent Tanya a picture of them.  The artifacts have been visited by interested parties, but non so brash as to make an offer.  Not from the Temple.  I am certain some would jump at the chance for them, if the temple were to close."

She checks her commlink again then stands.  "Barring anything else, I have another appointment."

She waits patiently while the team decides their first move.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Tanya looks around.  "Thank you Ni Ni.  We will not keep you.  I will pass on these files I was sent once I get everyone's comm codes.  My vote is to go visit the temple then congregate at a convenient place, perhaps my flat, to discuss our course of action.  My car is outside and there is enough room for anyone who does not have their own transportation with them.  So, any last questions for our hostess.  I personally wish to give my thanks for this great meal.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  And the company."  She looks around and waits for comments.

Tanya? Ni Ni? Never seen a Johnson and a runner on a first name basis. This chick really the help, or she just want us to think that?

"I'm with Tanya."

Tanya nods at Earlybird.  "That is two for the car, since Calico came with me.  Anyone else need a ride?  Trust me, there is plenty of room."

Cal nods toward Tanya. "Sure thing. I'll take a lift."

Tanya nods at the large man.  "Sure thing."  She looks at John Chance and Kumiho to see if they needed a ride to the temple.  When they shake their heads, Tanya stands and bows low to Baozhai and thanks her in Chinese for her assistance.  Taking Calico's arm and motioning for the others to come, Tanya strolls from the private room into the hallway and down the stairs to the main lobby.  Along the way she opens a comm to her driver, >>Alphonse.  We are leaving the restaurant.  Can you please meet us at the entrance.  There will be four of us and I have a surprise for you.  See you in a few.<<

In the lobby, Tanya leads the others to the check counter where they can pick up anything they might have left there.  She spies Luk Chien waiting near the counter and goes to him, bowing low.  你好,陸謙。 同以往一樣,是一個非常高興地在這裡吃晚飯。 並感謝你如此提供baozhai協助吳白布。 我將盡我所能,使我不在短。"  The handsome manager smiles and returns the bow and compliment.  A young woman comes up to them and waits patiently to be recognized.  She is carrying two large picnic-style hampers with her, from which the aroma of food wafts through the air.  Tanya looks her way and smiles.  "啊,我的命令,我相信呢? 謝謝各位。 阿方斯和莫妮克將會很高興。"  The manager and the young woman accompany Tanya and her companions out the door and down the covered walkway to where the Rolls is waiting.  The driver's eyes widen as he sees the baskets and reaches to take them from the woman, putting them in the limousine's boot.  Tanya chuckles and says, "Alphonse, yours is the one with the orange ribbon.  I need to get the other safely to Monique or she will have my guts for garters."

"Of course, Your Ladyship.  They will arrive in perfect condition.  Celine and I thank you for thinking of us."

The driver moves to open the door as Tanya bids farewell to the smiling Luk Chien.  After assisting the passengers into the large car, Alphonse returns to the driver's cab and pulls away from the curb.  Tanya asks him to take them out to the temple, giving the address.  Inside, the passengers can barely hear the purr of the huge motor as it sends the car to its destination.  Tanya points out the refreshment tray.  "There are snacks available if anyone has any room left after that wonderful meal.  And there is champagne and water in the cooler just over there near your arm, Mr. Chance.  The flutes are in the cabinet located just above the cooler.  I am afraid those are the choices today."

After everyone is settled into the extremely comfortable leather seats and refreshments are passed out to those who want them, Tanya glances at the others.  "OK.  I am sure that we will have some sort of team meeting after looking around at the temple.  I just want it said up front that I do not fancy myself the leader here by any means.  In fact, I much prefer that someone with more group experience than I have take charge.  I would like to start off by introducing myself.  I am Tanya Marisart and I specialize in getting into places, taking things and getting back out.  Usually for a profit.  I do not consider myself the best, but I am pretty good."  Tanya looks around to see if anyone else volunteers similar information.


Translations:

Hello, Luk Chien.  As always it was a great pleasure to dine here.  And thank you so much for providing Baozhai to assist Miss Calico.  I will do my best to make my absence short.

Ah, my order, I presume?  Thank you very much.  Alphonse and Monique will be pleased.

"Well, I got experience working in small groups, coordinating tactics... a strong background in medicine, I make a good second in command, y'know? Good, solid, tactically sound decisions when the lead's flying, but kinda clueless when it aint, wiz? I follow orders real good. Oh, and I got a lil one man attack chopper I'm real good with if we should need such a thing."

Tanya leans forward at Earlybird's words.  Her eyes are bright as she says, "A helicopter?  But only for one person?  Sad, that.  I would have loved a ride."

"Could someone hitch a ride beneath and maybe descend down by rope?  Just thinking of options here."

Tanya laughs.  "Count me in that group.  I would love to try it if you are game.  It could be a means to get me into a position I could not get to otherwise.  Give it some thought.  Besides, it should be a tonne of fun."

"Ms Marisart is not wrong in her suggestion. Getting eyes on the crime scene before further contamination can occur would definitely be the best course of action." Standing, I switch my commlink into tap mode and offer the back to Tanya in order for us to exchange codes. Collecting my coat and hat from the cloakroom I exit the restaurant alongside the others in time to see the limo pull up to collect Tanya and those accompanying her to the temple. By comparison the Americar pulling up beside me, though now spotless and gleaming like it had just left the dealer's showroom, seemed even more ordinary and commonplace than normal. "Ms Marisart, might I suggest that we conference call during the short trip in case anyone has anything pressing to discuss prior to arriving at the temple."

Settling into my seat I accept the incoming call from Tanya and set my commlink to send ARO whilst only receiving voice. I didn't want the additional distraction of imagery whilst driving. Setting the dogbrain nav system for the temple's co-ordinates I pull out and allow the voices from the limo to wash over me taking in what each has to say before finally responding.

"From the sounds of it some of you are, at least passingly, familiar with being investigated." I allow a hint of amusement to tinge my voice to let those on the other end of the line know that there is no judgement being made on my part. "I, on the other hand, do have some experience of conducting such an investigation along with handling the intricacies of interactions between various specialists when task forces are formed. Please do not feel that I am in any way pushing for the lead position, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The last time I held such a role within a specialist task force things, whilst resolved to most people's satisfaction, did not end so well for me." My mind drifts back to the weight of the blinded elf in my arms and smell of my team's blood on my clothes before giving an internal shudder. "That being said, if you all decide that we require a lead and you wish it to be me, I will accept your decision and the responsibility that comes with it. Perhaps this is something best left to be decided once we are all together and have a better understanding of what each of us can bring to the table."
