I/O starts to follow the troll out and as Silk is talking shoots her a databurst.

<com>I know this is an intrusion but I also don't wish to leave you or your group hanging either. This job, no johnson sounds like a loose cannon and I tend to have good instincts about these sort of things. He will eventual get those dealing with him jailed or killed. I am thinking he may be Tanimus, but that is just a hunch. I may have decided not to take the job directly from him but I will to leave a team hanging, its a code thing. You can contact me at this ID if you need a hacker. I will hang around invisibly till you tell me otherwise. If you can negotiate to get a replacement hacker that you know so I can get payed, I will cut you in on part of my fee for the trouble, otherwise this ones on me, just to keep up good relations in case we ever cross paths down the road. I may not wish to do a run that could get me killed but I never walk away from a deal when the details are known and I never leave a team hanging. I just feel that giving a layer of anonymity on this one is a good thing.</com>

After leaving the building he walks outside into the ally where he feels no one can see him and then casts an improved invisibility spell through his sustaining focus on himself then turns his throwaway com to hidden mode. Now we wait

Humming all the while, Joe took off her backpack, opened it up and took out the black plastic bag inside.  She set the backpack in the bag and then proceeded to strip down to her work gear.  She slipped off her disguise, revealing her chameleon suit bristling with knives.  She tucked the knife holsters into the pockets purposed for the task and pulled the hood over her head.  In a matter of seconds she was just a tiny blur stuffing clothes in a plastic bag.  Slipping a tag eraser into the pocket on her right leg and slipping her left hand through four metal discus grenades, she was ready for a bit of havoc.  With the change in costume came a change in demeanor.

Joe looked over the picture of the target.  "So this man's body is worth 6,000 yen a piece?  You can stuff that up your ass.  I'm not your employee and I don't work for salary.  There were seven of us in here when you made the offer.  That means this meat bag is worth 42,000 nuyen.  You pay that out, and we'll split it up how we see fit, Tammy."

[Chrona]

The Icon doesn't react, it's harder to read the Johnson when it's sound-only.

"You want to fight between yourselves over the cash later, fine. But it's 36,000 now."

Silk, roll negotiation when you're ready, at -2 (possibly altered if you want to say more first)
My breakdown:

He's in a rush +1
Silk threw him off balance +1
Someone left -1
He's a di...fficult person -1
He wanted to pay per person and andromeda asked for "extra" -1
Joe chose you, not him -1

[Artighur]

- Alright folks, I'll leave the speaky ones to do the negos, but we got a run to prepare. Give me a second, gotta get some stuff in my truck. Be right there in a couple.


As he leaves the room, he makes a sign for the troll :
- I'll be right there, gotta get a thing or two.

Hank get out of the clinic, he look a bit concern about people giving shit to the Johnson for the pay. Heck what a couple thousand more will do in their life... Anyway, he had to think of a plan. We need to spot the target first, then make a security perimeter around him to make sure he won't escape. This map gonna be useful... Hank pop opens the map in his 'link as he walks to his Rover. He grab his Medkit, a couple of Stim Patches and his Armor Vest (that he doesn't put on...yet), he tries to analyse the map as well as he can to spot a weak point but he's probably gonna more data, like security cameras and all that jazz. All that think reminds him of his army time and he can't help but show a smile of satisfaction for being back in the game again...

He heads back to the clinic to regroup with the rest of the team after he's done.

Noise sneers at the newbie comment but remains calm. She listens as the others voice their opinions on what's going on, with the one guy even leaving outright. She nods as Silk asks her questions and then stands up as she announces that she's in.  "I too will do this."

She turns to Silk, pulling open her overcoat revealing the corset underneath. "Is just one man who is out looking for good time, yes? Maybe is time to show him one."

[Xzylvador]

Silk wasn't shaken the least bit when the message arrives. It was just one of the dozen she'd received during the meeting.
What, this guy kidding? First undermining my position by just walking out, now expecting me to fix it and get him a job? All I can hope for now is getting back to the starting amount, any chances of getting more squeezed out of this are long gone. That's coming out of his cut.

"Thirty-six now, forty-two 10 seconds ago? It's a fast changing world we live in and I don't like the way it's headed.
We seem to be short a hacker and to be all in, as you put it, you first need a full hand of cards. I'm sure I can find someone to replace him, but pro deo hackers are hard to come by these days.
As for the no questions policy, it's already been shown to have its flaws. Combined with your deadline of 'now', however, it could be plain deadly. We won't ask anything about the package, but you leave us no time to make preparations or find information ourselves. This means he could be anything from a wageslave to a combat mage or shapechanged dragon. Not really the best way to start a job."

PAN: "Nice corset! Where'd you get it?" Hm, she's cute. "And yeah, let's give him the time of his life... which could be very short, from the looks of it."

Charisma 7 + Negotiation 3 + Kinesics 3 (13d6.hits(5)=3) Lousy roll for a equally lousy situation, seems about right.
No modifiers included. If I get extra, you can roll them. If I'm still at -2; last 6 dice had no hits, so shouldn't matter.

[Kontact]

Little Joe took the trash bag full of clothes and spare gear and swung it over her shoulder.
<<Yeah, just one man with a large amount of cred stuffed his body.  For all you know, this is a runner with nasty friends who will be upset with his death, and old man Johnson here is using this job to put hooks in you.  They like to think they own people around here.>>

[Ten-Hex]

Still Waters coughs, then adjusts his comm settings. He doesn't say anything, just sitting staring at the collected people and douchy suit icon in his AR.

text to Silk's comm - "Any cost for a hacker is not coming from my cut. If you cannot negotiate an additional hire separate from us, I walk. You are expert at getting 'yes' out of men, yes? I trust your ability, plus my spirits walk with you."

Extending spell defense coverage on Silk in case it's needed for any weird reason.

[Chrona]

Kontact - Mostly manpower, some cameras, MAD and chemsniffer on the main entrance, varying kinds of maglocks.

"38,000 nuyen, on delivery of the man into this clinic, alive, relatively unharmed, asap."

He logs off.

[Redwulfe]

I/O stands in the ally watching Noise grab her gear and head away from her car, and then Hank rush out of the clinic. Seems like a couple of them are in a rush, she doesn't seem to be concerned with cameras. Something is up. I/O scans the area to see if he can spot any cameras or drones and then dumps his Reality filters from his com and loads scan to check for wireless nodes. A quick databurst to Hank should get me what I need to know to help.

<com> Sorry I walked out on that douche of a Johnson, but it smells like a job that would get us all killed. As I told the lady in my last com transmission, I don't leave runners hanging however and will help with matrix backup whether I get paid or not, its an honor thing. If you want my help let me know. I don't know whats going on but it is looking like you guys are scrambling so I am takeing the initiative to try and lock out local cameras so there will be no eyes on you all. If you give me permission to access your com I will update a map with GPS data for coordination. Here is my location. </com>

I/O creates a quick map of the area with his edit and locks his GPS info on to it, sending it with the burst and CCing it to Silk.

Ouch not a good start.

Realizing that this would be easier if he was fully jacked in, I/O starts to look for a good place to sit down out of the way and pulls his camera feed of his eyes into a AR window so he can watch his body while in hot SIM.

[Chrona]

I/O: Theres 2 Human bouncers, ~15 varied people queuing. You have a simple external map.

[Artighur]

Interesting, I know what you mean, that Johnson doesn't seem to realize that it's better to help his runners a bit if she want it to work perfectly. But whatever, I'm no officer in here but we'll need Matrix backup for sure. I don't know if Silk is over with the negos yet, I'll hold on for a decision when the team will be there, but feel free to go ahead.

Hank get back into the clinic and goes back into Creepy Joe's office.

So is this over ? We gotta talk about plans...

Hank makes a head sign toward the exit but wait for everybody to get ready.

[Kouryuu]

Andromeda lays down at the conner of the Building Just SSE of the club, thats the most valuable point she could think of witout  going inside the club, but her weapon would be just a hindrance there.

Have taken Positions across the street of the SSE corner of the club, covering most of the exits, as far as habu's map tells me there is one Unprotected back door NNW, at least it was unprotected and deserted when he did the scan,  i cant get it in my sights, looks like a good entry point thou, and if the target shows his nose on the street S or E of the joint, hope he is prepared to take some gel round to his face 

You have the map people, will be listening in throwing, ideas. Rigger/sniper, BTW, for those who did not get the first introduction.
Can do a video feed of my vision if you need one? just say so and send me your preferences too.
Andromeda out.

thats it, now i have to be as quite as possible not to arouse any attention.

[Redwulfe]

Looks like things are getting heated but not sure yet, sniper headed to the roofs and Robert headed out to get his gear.

I/O makes his way around the car and to the dumpster where he can sit for a bit and make the most of his com. He sits down with his back to the corner formed by the dumpster and the wall with a decent view of the clinics door.

Don't really like this but you can't leave them out to dry.

His senses fade as he takes his consciousness into his personal com. His limo pulls up to the red carpet and he steps out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, flashes of light bulb flashes light the night as he walks to a impression in the concrete just off the main run. Bending down to touch it an AR window pops into his field of vision and with a few thoughts the ally outside of the clinic comes into view. He grabs the window and pulls it into two separate screens. he looks at the new one and code starts to flow across its florescent green surface. <enter passcode> <********> <Access granted>. The window displays a drab off the shelf architecture. I/O turns to one of the press agents in the crowd and motions for him to come over. A circular hologram of arcane symbols appears around him and as I/O spins the disk and selects one icon after another the press agent pulls out a pistol and checks it followed shortly by a comlink.  I/O turns back tot eh second window and the Press agent steps through into the room. A second press personnel appears in the window  and I/O reaches through to activate his arcane programing. after he is finished a wipe of his hand removes the window from sight. I/O looks at the original window far a second to make sure everything is clear before ripping it in two again. A command prompt blinks steadily but not for long as it starts to race across the window as words start to form as I/O wills it.

</com= Hank, Andromida, Silk, and Still Waters>So far you are the only comm codes I was able to obtain from my brief stay in the room, if you know of the others forward this message. As I have informed others I don't wish to be directly involved in the actions of this Johnson for reasons that if you wish to know you may ask me latter. I will, however not leave a team in the lurch on such short notice so I will do what I can to help you out. This is the access code to my throw away comlink that I use to route team chatter and such through as well as to keep the team network safe. I am not asking that you give me access to your coms but to simply slave your com to this one. all messages sent from your com will route through this one and be distributed to the team if you tag it for the team or to the matrix if you tag it for that. all responses will come through this comm and be routed appropriately. this way I do not have access to your personal information and I can keep our matrix a bit safer and provide updated information in real time. since you have control of your coms you could also leave at anytime you wish. I am sending an updated file with my location if you could send a stream of your GPS info I will put you on the map as well to help coordinate the teams efforts. As far as my actions currently I don't know whats going on but it seems like there is some sort of trouble, I am scanning the surroundings for cameras to keep the team off of the news. I am currently invisible in the ally and awaiting further instructions. one more note there is a very high probably that a member of the que across the street has a camera in their eyes, just FYI. if our eye in the sky could give my a sighting for cybereyes it will help pinpoint just which one have the capacity to catch us in the act.

I/O touches another imprint on the ground pulling up a third window and quickly locates a map he had drawn earlier. He creates a link to his GPS feed off of the com and appends it to the file appearing as a small green dot on the map itself. He merges the window with the one he was composing on and compresses it into a small icon of a rose. tossing it to the crowd a woman catches it and with a jittery jump of excitement runs of with it into the darkness beyond. turning back tot eh window of the outside world he splits it once more and start to type frantically on its surface. code starts to appear and I/O seems to wait for a response. <Primary target=hidden><Location=unknown><Search field =20 meters><Filter=17 coms at location 345.6,234.5><GPS location identified ><filter enabled><Scanning.....>

Set one agent on throwaway com to forward traffic and the other I load with Attack and analyse 6 to patroll com and attack intruders.

You can't find any hidden nodes but those in the clinic, the personal nodes in the club don't stand out.

Andromeda give me a perception test at -2 rain if you follow I/O's request
