Mata makes his way to the van scrolling through his vast list of contact numbers and making mental calculations as to their worthiness and expertise before deciding on John 'Omae' Jamison the owner of the Neon Koi. 'Omae' knew lots of people from all classes and walks of life, just went with the territory. It takes a few minutes, 'Omae' must be busy Mata thinks to himself before the 'link opens up to 'Omae's' voice.

"Hoi chummer" Omae says breathelessly. Mata smiles, he must be 'interviewing' a new waitress. "Hope I didnt take you away from business matters" Mata smiles as he says this. "I'm under a timeline here, so I'll have to blunt. I need information, and need it soon my friend and you're the guy I came to first." His voice settles and his breathing returns to normal as 'Omae' speaks "Sure if I can, with the understanding that information is a commodity." Mata smiles slyly "But of course."

"Its a big order my friend. First I need what you know of an Ares Corporate, goes by Jonathon Belinkiy. Secondly, I've got someone's calling card, well two but the first is a stone knife. The other calling card is a black feather wrapped in leather." Mata stops to fish out and light up a cigarette. "Oh and you know anything about a Falcone? He knows his way around negotiating, but he doesnt strike me as Corporate, to at ease around the street types. I peg him for middle management, but I'd like to know what you know." Mata remains silent as 'Omae' thinks.

Belenskiy? Somethings ringing chummer, but that's one will need something back. I've heard you were doing some courier job for Koshari. What was in the package?

The rest will go for free, know my rotten heart. his smile was similar to what would you expect form the ashamed hyena
Falcone, hmm, Jerome, no Jaron was his name. a fixer as far I know, retired couple of years ago. Got hit in the spine, must've hurt, damn. Had good rep in his time, don't know why they banged him. I could ask around if you want.

The knife and the feather - strange combination. The feather looks like indians playing cowboys, maybe like something Koshari could have left behind them, the knife on the other side stink with Azzies. Gimme some time I'll get back to you.

he promised to check back in an hour, and disconnects.

Cursors dropped into VR. The action finished almost the same instant it begun. Turn on the commlink, one second, two seconds ... beeeep and it was it.

The target for commlink was equal to 1/2 of your stealth.

So Analyze(4) + Firewall(6) = 10 (3)
10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=5

The commlink set off after your second try and purged itself clean.

[Boer_Kommando]

Mata Tabi thinks quickly before answering "No idea of what was in the package, but it was small and flat and could have been anything from a written out recipe for flat bread to a naked picture of Bee Arthur, either way I have no idea chum. I dont violate the ethics of the job, besides you know what they say about curiousity and the cat." Mata ended with a chuckle "yeah, the better informed I am about this the better off I am Omae"

As the line goes dead Mata Tabi looks at Cursor and smiles "I wouldnt know. In our line of work it's usually a bullet isn't it Cursor-san?" Unconciously Mata found himself looking at Eight-Stone after saying it, he could feel the tell-tale signs of his anger and bile rising so he looked away and calmed himself.

[Sentinemodo]

Mata's commlink chirped text message arrival I'll have something on Belenkiy in the package you'll get, but you'll owe me one. Take care.

[Chrona]

"No dice, never seen an OS like it, saw through my stealth like it was nothing and believe me i tried."

Cursor slammed the spectacles shaped 'link under his boot, he wasn't pleased.

"I'm out of ways to help for now. Sorry."

He went back into VR, hoping the resonance would sooth his anger.
While there his mind wandered to Celine, she wore glasses.

[Boer_Kommando]

Mata's next call is to Patrol Sergeant O'Reilly of Lonestar. He gives the officer plenty of time to answer, the nature of their relationship depended on a certain amount of secrecy. So, Mata waited the minutes it took for him to excuse himself or find a place to talk unobserved. "Yallo!" His husky voice says over the line. "Not a bad time is it?" Mata asks. "Umm, well, it's always a bad time you know. But, thats the breaks eh kid."

"I wont keep you long then. I need to know a few things that might be up your alley. I got two calling cards, first is a stone dagger, and the other is a black feather wrapped in leather. Also, what do you know of a retired fixer named Falcone?"

OOC: Make a roll Intuition + Matrix Theory (2)

[Sentinemodo]

Resonance

Cursor's icon floated among the blackest of blacks, the eternal darkness of matrix shined the little stars of nodes connected by the blurred lines of data traffic ... the glasses... it was so close, so close you've almost felt the node opening to you, when the firewall slammed down on you and the pyre cleaned everything around ... good there was no data bomb ... bomb .. if I had an RFID it would have been so easy ... RFID ... he had to have it with himself all the time, or he'd risk loosing data like that ... all the time with himself ... implanted ... standard security measure ... and if it is implanted it leaves a data trail ... trail ... obvious

Cursor's eyes snapped back the reality

[Chrona]

"He's tagged!"

Cursor turned to the others.

"Belenskiys Tagged! There must be an implanted RFID to activate the commlink! There'd be a datatrail but I cant get into the link to trace a subscription... Damn what to do..."

[Boer_Kommando]

Mata Tabi tilts his head to the side slightly as he smiles "Hack Ares. They put it in him right? If they did they'd know how to trace it, right?" Mata Tabi didnt think he had it in him, since the commlink was a bust, but maybe it was just bad luck and not being over his head.

[Chrona]

"Hack ARES!? Cursor gave a bemused stare,"Yeah only If I want my head to explode... If I cant get into the 'link, an Ares main node might kill me."

Cursor thinks for a second. "It'd be easy to find legally using the Denver LTG network... but I'd need to know the frequency. Anyone know anyone at Ares?"

You can't calling me like that, I can loose my job. Okay, okay, Stone dagger - there is a group of Aztlan refugees, left after Aztlan sector takeover, robbery, unlicensed gun possesion and use, several tries of terrorism, ritual magic. That has costed you 100 NY.
I know nothing about the Falcone or the feather, but I can look around. You ready to pay?
