Steve nods.  "Well, some good news, anyway.  So, is it just you at the meet or am I providing backup of some kind?"

[Stuttrboy]

He's expecting 2 or 3 people.  You want in on the discussion or you want to run outside surveillance?  Either way is fine with me.  I might bring LD in on this too.

I don't expect any trouble from the Vory but if KE knows where they are they might show up.

Sasha, let them know to be wary of an ambush.  I'm pretty sure the KE and these mercs know where they are and they may have surveillance set up.  We are expecting trouble from one or both of them.

[Mercy Merchant]

Steve smiles playfully.  "You trying to get rid of me already, Spokane?  Maybe got some girl at the meeting site?  Nah, I am with you.  Dog might be a good idea.  I like him.  We going to leave Phil and Al here?"

[Stuttrboy]

No I want them to blend in with the crowd but be there kind of like we did at the club.  I fully expect the mercs or KE to make an appearance, so we go loaded for bear.

>>>Hey Dog.  We've got a meet with the survivors from Washington Rec and Mercy.  We'd like you to be there, We're expecting trouble so come prepared.

[Mercy Merchant]

>>Trouble seems to follow you.  I will be there and ready.  Send me the location and time.<<

Steve nods.  "Not much bear I can load up for, but I will help as I can.  Gino's is supposed to be strictly neutral, though.  No drones, no spirits, no hacking or no service and you get blackballed from the place.  It is a good place for people to meet."

[Stuttrboy]

Ginos.  Tomorrow at noon.  Thanks buddy.

We don't need surveillance inside, but I want to have some warning if someone is coming.  You can set up down the street a bit.  What about weapons?  We have to check those or leave them outside?

[Mercy Merchant]

Steve laughs.  "Never been there before, I'm guessing.  Sposed to have better security than the President has.  Well, probably not, but it is supposed to be cutting edge.  You will need to check everything at the door and go wireless dark.  Very strict on neutrality.  That Vory guy picked a good spot for the meet.  Of course, that might not do them a lot of good if the mercs attack, but the KE won't bother you while you are inside or for ten minutes after leaving, as long as you stay clean and don't try something dumb.  I can watch from outside, but would have a hard time warning you about anything."

[Stuttrboy]

We can't even receive messages on coms?  Seems like that's a little overboard.  We'll clarify when we get there I guess.  I suppose we can inform security of our concerns and let them handle it.

[Mercy Merchant]

"I think that the problem is that the newest tech now gives anyone with a decent 'link the ability to hack and micro or mini drones are able to be controlled by anyone and are nearly undetectable when they are used to spy on people.  Same for the astral, I guess, although I know so little about that that my advice is certainly suspect.  The club prides itself on providing the best neutral ground for a meeting between groups of people."

[Stuttrboy]

Then maybe it would be best if you set up surveillance outside and then warned the security for us if you see anything coming.  If you'd rather be in on the meet itself that's fine.  I'll let you make the call.  I'd rather make use of your pretty "ass"-ets though He adds with a wink.

[Mercy Merchant]

At that, Steve does a three-quarter turn, letting you see as she bends slightly to stretch the fabric across her rather shapely ass and wiggles it at you playfully.  "Right now, this belongs to you and you can see it whenever you like.  Do you really like it or should I lose a few pounds?"

[Stuttrboy]

I like your ass just fine as it is but if you are unhappy with it I'm sure it will be great too.  Jeremiah pulls her into his lap and plants a quick kiss on her.

[Mercy Merchant]

Steve gives you a rather peculiar look as you pull her onto your lap.  She returns your kiss then lays her head against your chest as she runs an arm around your neck.  "Spokane....Jeremiah.....are you really satisfied with me and not just stringing me along for the sex?"  She reaches a hand up and places a finger on your lips.  "No, don't answer that.  I want to believe you are satisfied, so let me think that for a while longer.  You can tell me later if you don't want me, but give me a chance to worm myself into your heart.  I really like the feel of your arms around me and I get really turned on by the way you watch me.  I know this world is crazy right now and the truth about almost anything can change in a moment or over night, but I want to live in the fantasy for a bit longer.  Do I sound so stupid to want that?"

[Stuttrboy]

Jeremiah sighs.  Well I suppose there is one thing I wouldn't mind you changing, but if my biggest complaint is how you inadvertently call me a liar every time you express your utter disbelief that I can actually like you for who you are, I'd say I'm a pretty lucky guy. 

Spokane chuckles and holds Steve tighter and kisses the top her head, holding her as long as she wants to hold on to the "fantasy".

[Mercy Merchant]

Steve molds her body to yours and actually seems to purr in satisfaction.  "Not a liar, dear, just perhaps misguided.  If you hold me too long, you risk having me around for a very long time.  Mmmmm.  Al and Phil will be back in a while, what do we tell them and what sort of preparations do we need to get done before this meeting tomorrow?"
