A troubled look appears on Harry's face. How the hell did Griffin listen in to the subvocal conversation he wondered. 
"Well I don't think Elly would have told me to contact you if she tought you were crazy, and she's a good judge of character" He reply's to Griffin.
he then makes a call of his own
Hey Sfinx, I know you know some people in the hacking scene.  I need a guy who can get me some footage from a mall security system, you happen to know anyone?  I'll drop the usual fee at the usual place.

[Sichr]

@Griffin:
Whoa...for a moment this sounded like an old Griffin. Good to hear you, but...well, it is a bit surprise...what kind of work? What kind of samples? Toxic zone? Griffin...dear colleague...are you sure that you took your pills today?
By the voice you recognize, that the call was taken by one of your former coleague, Hussein Atombe, Ork with A grade in Pathology. He always had a special sense of humor.
As he recognizes you on the incoming feed, he switch for the full AR window, you can see that his hands are taking out stomach from decayed body of apparently drowned woman. Then he opens the stomach with his laser scalpel, taking samples of its content to the Petri dishes...
I am in the middle of the operation, as you can see...but my patient should wait a minute. You were talking about some samples analysis. Well, there is the SOTA spectrometer here in our labs, but as you may heard, we became independent after that LS dethronement, and the aquipement costs a fortune. We may use a little donation to cover our bills, if you understand me. As an old friend, I should give you a price...lets say...300Y for the analysis. You may found our new HQ in the Downtown, ACHE sub level 2, unit S2RC12-CSA. Ill alert the rest of the crew and the security that you are coming. See You.

@Harry:
Sfinx availability: (1d6.hits(4)=1)
OK. After a second, AR window opened, with the almost real sphinx head, your contacts AR icon.
Good afternoon mr. Eastwood. Well, with more specifications I`ll see what I can get, but I`m not a fixer. Send me the coordinates, details and desired timeframe of the footage, and I`ll call you ASAP. Price would depend on the security of target nodes and potential risk.

"You know that I do take my medication on schedule. You wrote that annoying program that's password-protected to avoid 'accidental' deleting it. I recognize your file naming pattern... And the crime scene - kidnapping actually, the Aura echo fits - is a Toxic Domain, I'd say Level 3 in Schwartzkopff scale. Obviously it was formed naturally in a polluted parking lot of a big mall, but something - or someone - worsened the effect. And I've found echoes of a Toxic spirit, easily classified as 'spirit of Man'. The sample is an unknown material found on some tracks at the scene, Sherlock. Oh, and check that body again for anomalous pressure signatures. It looks like it was crushed slash drowned by a Water spirit. But with this feed I can't tell for sure. Do you still have an Awakened specialist? Because I remember that Angela quit and took a staff at MIT&T..." He was occupied with the puzzle, so he forgot to say 'thanks', but Shade whispered to him a soothing rant-song, and he agreed with a silent, slight not to do that in person later.
He turned to the two, referring them the outcome of his call, along with the price.
"Though I think it could be possible to put it on my tab and I'll repay them with a favor later. On an unrelated note: It's good to work again. Having a purpose is nice..."

[mdp]

Glad to hear there is something good about this whole mess.  I have someone looking for the footage of the camera's, off course there will be a fee for that too.  No problem, I just want the Wangs to be reunited and my landlord to be happy.

[mdp]

Looking at his notes Harry sends sfinx a personal message with the timeframe in wich (according to mr.Wang) the kidnapping should have taken place, allong with the exact parking spot number in the mall.
Well I got someone looking into the video footage, let's drop you off at the lab for the analysis he says to Griffin

[Kot]

"Okay. Do you have a car? Since I'm still not allowed to drive, and our sedan was sold to pay the bills... Well, I could retake the test, but I didn't really think of it. Anyway, we need to get there. Oh, and we need to start tracking the victim's car, right? I don't have any police connections... I worked for the Star, before things went to hell... Damn, my case was one of the things that sunk the Star. A hive that they missed..."

[mdp]

I don't have a car, but if you can fit yourself on the backseat  of my bike I can get you to the lab.  As far as the victims car goes, It is still in the possetion off the victim, so I don't really see what good tracking that car is gone do us.  Maybe we can have a mechanic or something take a look at it and see if he can find out something about what happend to it.  And if it comes to friends on the force, I know some people who might be able to help

[Kot]

"Oh, believe me, that car can provide us with all kinds of clues, if we find it not wiped clean. They have a black box, and usually there are lots of evidence material in ones. Not mentioning the astral ones... Oh, and I have no problem with the ride, I even have a helmet."
You notice that it's not a bag - well, not only as he has a small satchel - but a helmet in a case. The Lone Star logo is bleak, like it has been used for years.
"It belonged to a bike patrol officer. One lucky bastard, he gave me this for saving his life when he retired."

[mdp]

Okay safety first Says Harry as he climbs on his bike, not wearing a helmet.  Before starting it he quickly takes a nip from his small wiskey bottle he bought on the way to the parking lot.  So We go to the lab first or you want to see the car before going to the lab, maybe we can get more samples from the car.  Still I'd like to have a mechanic or someone with more knowledge about cars and stuff to take a look at it first

[Kot]

"The car first, thank you. We need to check it out just in case it has any evidence on it."
Griffin obviously wasn't happy with that kind of safety, but he didn't whine, nor call a cab.

[mdp]

Before starting the bike Harry makes a call to Mr.Lister
Mr. Lister, We are on our way to the Wangs to do some research and forensics on the car, could you send someone over there with a good knowledge about car's, he might see somethings we might otherwise miss.

[Sichr]

Mr. McLister accepts your call immediately:

Good evening Harry. Any news? ...he listens to you...
Well I`ll see what I can think out. Meet you on the place. Good luck.

@Timmy: You are in your workshop, running some simulations on the new design that came to your mind on the afternoon, when the Sun beams throught the clouds and you saw the sceneries with your Eyes. Like ancient Daedalus, you started the drones engine, and climb higher and higher to the skies, not afraid of burning your wings...Auburn, Seattle skyline, the ocean to the west, mountains to the east...lit by evening Sun...an imposant scenery...and while wathing it an idea came to your mind...just a piece of inspiration right now, without clear contours. You hand over the drone to your sprite, leting him enjoy the fun and beauty, and as you are used to make your mechanical dreams come truth, now you are trying to exploit the idea.
Incoming call is quite unwelcomed disturbance, even from unknown number, you almost tipped it, but you are feeling that you are approaching the creative block, so a little mental detour should open the new point of view, when you get back to your work. So you take the call.

Good evening mr. Miller. This is Bill McLister.

...That name rings the bell, he owns the house you are living in...that man is responsible for customizing the entrance and stairway for your needs after that accident..you never met him face to face, but it is him to who your rent checks are going...

Sorry for disturbing you, but it is the matter of life and death and I`m out of options right now. I need you assistance as quickly as possible. Please. Meet mr. Harry Eastwood on this address [GPS Attached] he will brief you in. He should use your expertise. I know your hobby, and I appreciate that I have such technical talent living in one of my house. I was thinking about converting the roof top of the house you are living in to the opened terrace...maybe usable as a landing place. More details about the payment you should discuss with Mr. Eastwood, and for sure we should talk more once the job is done.

He sounded firmly but politely...and he waits your reply...

[mwiland]

I have to say I like the idea about the landing terrace.  It could come in handy should I make anything bigger than what I have now.  I appreciate the call for work as you know that I am almost always looking to make my skills useful.  In any event I am on my way.

Timmy loads all his mini drones into his GMC Sandal, commands his Sandal, Doberman and LEBD into his van.  Then rolls himself into his GMC Hermes van, loads up the address into his grid guide and off he goes.  When Timmy arrives on site he pulls up in a van that looks like a package delivery van, now looking for Mr. Eastwood.

[mdp]

In front of the building Mr. Wang and his family live there is a big troll standing next to a suzuki mirage, He has two companions with him and is clearly waiting for someone

[mwiland]

Timmy, who is dressed simply, parks across the street from the troll and his group, rolls out of his van in his Transys Steed (wheelchair) and approaches the large troll and the group of people around him,  leaving his drones where they are at for now.

Mr. Eastwood I presume?  Timmy says to the large troll. I've been sent by a Mr. McLister to assist you in a situation you are having and are in need on my services.
