@all Gem said "The smugglers are slaves they do not raise the pixies and do not package them. They live in a locked container and escape their harsh life into BTL. When they are needed the guards open the container pick a smuggler and handle him a closed dartboard box with a caged pixie inside. They should not look inside, perhaps some of them do look inside. "

Your boyfriend though, he is one of the people in control?

"I see. How did you meet your boyfriend then? I assume he is one of those with a bit more freedom of movement if you were able to meet him for BTL delivery.

As I see it we need three parts for this sting:
We need to follow one of the couriers
We need to record him picking up the stick and leaving his package
We need to capture him, show that the stick contains money and have him declare that he works for the farm - and record all of that. We'll probably have to preserve the courier as a witness, but I think the dungeon in this casino should be sufficient for that.

Afterwards we can start the assault on the farm."

Replied Kynos.

@all Gem said "My boyfriend has some privileges being the senior slave if you will, he is their candy man and handles their BTL trade. He has his own room in the container, and I met him when I arrived with a fresh sack of BTLs. Once the rest were out of the picture, I made my move and since then every time I arrive I get to enjoy him.  I sort of pushed his buttons the other time in order to create an opening for one of you."

Do you know where they enter the sewer?  I can wait for a delivery there, but how do we know they will even sell one in the next three days?  You have no idea how contact is made?

"I'd say simple economics: If you have a pool of more than one couriers at the ready you probably have more than two deliveries per week in your business.

But that leads to another question: Are the vamps the only ones buying pixies regularly or do we just don't know about any other customers? To be worth the cost of operations, they have to make at least 100k per month - considering the you'll pay at least 3000/m to the average professional mercenary. Quite expensive candy for a relatively small group of vampires."

[Noëmie "Nyx" d'Orville - January 12th, 2076 - Gates Casino, Bellevue, Seattle]

Answering to Wheely, Noëmie says "I don't mind setting up the meet, negotiating the price or anything like that. What I do not want, is being on a tape, audio or video, which will go to court."

Listening to the others plotting and planning brought warmth to his twisted heart.  Them discussing the finer details and the nauseating nuances allowed him to observe their responses unfettered.  Maxwell's head lay rested and propped up on his arm atop the table.  His comm started buzzing again, but he willfully ignored it this time.  Preferring instead to watch the varying shadowrunners offer their advice and service in regards to the matter at hand.  He already knew and made up his mind for his part in this play.

Concentration lie broken the moment that enchantingly beautiful she-elf introduced herself to him.  Not much imagination was required to guess what was underneath the amazingly well-crafted dress she adorned herself in.  To answer the question if she was just as gorgeous on the Astral as she was in the physical, Maxwell shifts his sight until he knew.  Not to only Nyx though, but to the other runners as well.

Aura Reading: 6d6t5 4
Sovereign now has intimate details regarding everyone at the meeting as per the Assensing table.
Up to either Gilga or the PCs to describe what he's looking at.


With his gaze still locked in the Astral trying to discern the souls of all that gather round' him, Maxwell answers several questions posed.  "I might be able to illuminate some of this darkness.  The smugglers go in groups of three at a predetermined location within the sewers.  A credstick is left at the drop-off point by the Infected or whomever else, and the smugglers leave a specialized container filled with a slotted brain-dead pixie in return.  No actual physical face-to-face exchange.  At least not the kind you guys are thinking of.  So recording the transaction might be a little difficult considering no transaction happens in the first place.  We will have to set up an ambush like Irris suggested and get creative with the smugglers."

"No need for face to face. They leave a pixie and take money. That's a trade by law.
So we are in agreement then? Follow them, film them, capture them, get a confession that they work for the farm, control that the credstick is filled with Nuyen - and film this fact. Afterwards we either keep them secured for three days or give them a chance to fight and kill them, so it's all above law. I can wear my FBA so it appears I'm from KE.
Parallel Nyx can try her charm at Gem's boyfriend so he'll try to set up an extra deal - either by asking his superiors or by doing it on the side."


Sovereign didn't see anything new when he looked at Kynos through his third eye: The mercenary was healthy, but had had the beginnings of malnourishment, although the recent meal already showed positive results. That was all the good his aura held: His whole body was riddled with the black voids of cybernetic enhancements, muting his aura to the form and color of a guttering candle. A small, but recent wound lay hidden on his left forearm. Echoes of countless similar wounds adorned all his arms and legs.
His displayed emotions were a mixture of boredom and excitement, changing by the second. But even on this level were black voids noticeable - were other people held anxiousness and fear, a bleeding wound gaped. Blackened veins stretched over where other people held their empathy and joy. All those sensations left Sovereign with only one word to describe the aura: Hollow. A black hearted hollow man.

@Sovereign ~Wheely's aura flicker weakly under you assensing gaze, heavily weakened by his augmentations. The control rig is particularly obvious leaving a huge hole in the aura at the head but you can also notice some bioware there. Finally you notice small holes left by a piece of cyber present in most of his body, from the position it's likely to be some muscle replacement or bone lacing maybe.
Unsurprisingly, the rigger is mundane as dirt, not a speck of magic visible in there. He is healthy and boiling with a stew of excitment, nervosity and a pinch of fear.~

Simone looks up at Kynos as he explains his plan.  "Not too sure you want to make any plan that includes wearing that armor right now.  The KE are gone from the city and Lone Star is coming back, right?  Would it not look odd for a KE officer to be walking the streets?  Of course the chip heads may not know or care."

Simone is chock full of implants as well, giving her very little essence left.  Emotionally, she is stable and enjoys life.  Physically, she is in good health.

Yobu appears magically active.  He is healthy and you sense absolutely no emotion from him other than a singular sense of purpose.

"Don't I know it. I've put done 4 bozos the last two weeks who thougth I was KE.
But the armor is genuine and I just have to add and remove patches to make it look really official - no problem to do it on the fly when we enter the sewers. It's appearance should get an instinctual reaction from those punks - I doubt they'll try to get all legal about it. We just have to make sure the patches don't appear on trideo."

Kynos added with a sidelong glance to Irris.

I'm a professional both as an editor and as a mercenary, it won't be a problem.  I don't make off hand remarks about questioning your ability to kill people do I?

Irris has quite a bit of cyber as well and you don't need to assense her to know she's a little annoyed.

"I don't doubt you can, I'm just making sure there are no misunderstandings - especially since you can't tamper to much with the recordings if they are meant to be used as proof in front of a judge. Just keep the camera on the perp and everything's peachy."
Kynos gave her a lazy smile
"Don't worry, I'll stop being infuriating on purpose once this show gets on the road."
