Slip skims the file she received, as the team comes in. After spotting Mr. Reno already at the bar, Slip can't believe her luck. "I'm personally inclined to have our talk in private. But in this matter you have more experience, I would defer to your judgement if you have better ideas."

[Triggvi]

@Slip, Nina, Nadir>If you want private, I would say to to catch him off guard like in the men's room. Lock the door. Having slip in there with us would be even more unsettling. Question him, then we dose him and leave him to wake up on the crapper with an hour or so missing from his life. We will need hacker support to pull this off with no one noticing.

[Ethan]

<@Sub-Team> Well, I could Influence him to visit the gentlemen's room whenever we're prepared but I need to have a look around quickly to see if there are any Astral concerns.

Nadir shifts into Astral Perception to take a quick overview of the place, looking for any spirits, wards, or magically capable individuals who may not appreciate him casting a spell.

sub Team=Slip, Nina, Nadir & Oliver(Korbin)
@Sub Team>We may need to influence people to leave the gents as well.

Oliver will sweep the room and our Target with Assensing

1.Assensing Johnny Reno (3 Successes) 2.Assisting Nadir with his Check of the Area (7 Successes)

Operator makes the effortless transition to Japanese, maintaining a pleasant tone of voice that carried the hint of a confident figure of authority.
<@Watanabe> "I was given an offer to perform a security evaluation for Shotozumi-san and her colleagues. I have spoken with them earlier, and I am to understand that you are entrusted with her transportation.

"My first question concerns the route Shotozumi-san takes between her own private residence and that of her father. To which address does she go from her Bellevue highrise?

"The second question is the frequency of this route. Has Shotozumi-san strictly adhered to this one path, or has she deviated from this route in recent days?

"Finally, did you notice anything unusual with Shotozumi-san during her most recent trip home?"

@Operator

Watenabi continues in Japanese, The route changes, I usually don't even know it until she gets in the car. she books the rental for enough time for us to get their even if we take a convoluted route. Personally I think she made it up every time she got in the car. I just followed her directions. there would be some occasions where she would have me take her to a bar called Ebey's in Exile but it was not often. The last time I picked her up she went by there. As far as timing I think I am not the only driver she used as well. I will pick her up every two weeks at least three times but it seemed random when it would happen. The only thing that was truly consistent is the end and starting destinations. Her fathers house and her home. As far as the last trip I didn't see anything inconsistent about her trip except that she went by the bar and was upset when she left. i always watch her enter both buildings wherever she goes, I know she can handle herself but I make sure she gets there in one piece. Any thing else? You will give Mr. Shotozumi a good review for me won't you?

@Korbin and Nadir, there are several people that have magic in their auras and several spirits watching peoples back it doesn't seem like there is a problem with bringing back up in here but using the backup may be different. As far as Johnny himself is concerned he seems mundane and doesn't have much cyberware in his system. he seems to read as enjoying himself and is somewhat anxious.

[Ethan]

<@Sub-Team> Fellas, this place is magic-ville. It'll be tricky Influencing them without stepping on someone's toes.

[Teyl_Iliar]

@sub team>Damn, well we can either wait him out and catch him at the door or  try and  do this here and now,  If we want to take him here, I'll ask our hacker friend if he might be able to help us with the video feeds. Then nadir, gets ready to try and separate his company and get him to the bathroom. Oliver, once our mark is moving, and our tech support owns the cameras you, I and Nadir will follow him in. I've got the party favor ready. Nina, you're our look out, keep us posted if it looks like something is about to go down so we can bug out. If for whatever reason he resists the suggestion and realizes what's going on, we follow him out, and we'll take him down, I'll hit him with the party favor and we bug out to somewhere we can talk in private. Everyone do a non-lethal weapons check, and get ready to move once I hear back from our tech support.

OOC: (possible action,) If we go after Johnny here, Slip will put a call through to "Mike". Mike, we've actually stumbled upon our mark here at the exile. We're going to take him to have a private talk, could you help us out? it would be most helpful if the camera's don't record what might happen.

[Operator]

<@Watanabe> "I thank you for your cooperation, Watanabe-san; I will be sure to note your courtesy when I present my reports to Shotozumi-san. May you have a pleasant evening."

<@Team> Alright, now this gets interesting. Mr. Watanabe, Kiku's driver, just spilled a can full of beans. She books rentals in a very precise manner, just long enough for her to reach a destination while allowing for heavy traffic on the roads, and appears to have given him random directions in almost every job. I can't pick out any specific route for us to fish out camera details, only the fact that her home and Shotozumi's residence are the consistent starting and ending locations. She appears to use multiple drivers.

A bar name was mentioned, Ebey's in Exile. She has occassionally gone there, but not often according to Mr. Watanabe. On her last trip, Kiku went by Ebey's and was upset when she left.

[Triggvi]

Oliver (korbin) will take a look at his two companions astrally (Assensing).

1st Companion (5 Successes), 2nd Companion (4 Successes)

[Triggvi]

@sub team>Under the circumstances we may need to gild the lion in his den and question him here. In this instance knowledge is power. We know that Johnny Reno and Kiku had some sort of a falling out or at least a strain on there relationship. We could use that to our advantage. Hint that if he doesn't give us the right answers his cushy retirement will be over. I am pretty sure he is getting payments from either Kiku or her father to keep him in the lifestyle he is living. If we play it right we may find out which. We will need to use his subtle tells to play him and squeeze him for the info without threatening him with violence.

[Redwulfe]

@korbin, both are not awakened and don't have more than the rudimentary pieces of cybertech. I.E one of them has cyber eyes.

[Triggvi]

@sub team> His two companions don't appear to be body guards.

[Kontact]

<@team> Oliver is it?  I like the way you operate.  If the princess was unhappy when she left, Reno probably had something to do with that, and knows there's trouble coming.  We're part of that trouble, but keeping it low-key will give him the opportunity to avoid bigger problems.  So, I like the idea of going subtle first, and letting him know that trouble is looking to come and go without a ripple.  The guy knows the business and what it means to attract this kind of attention.  Regardless of anything else we know about this guy, we know he's a fixer.  A choob doesn't get along in that kind of work.  Be careful.

[Triggvi]

@Mike> You are the new matrix specialist, right. Interrogation is one of my specialties. If we do it in the bar we will have to use what we know to extract what we don't know. It would be easier with privacy and an old style printed phone book.
