@Korbin/Oliver

As you touch the object and reach out with your senses to gain what little insight you can. you feel the strength of emotions surrounding this object start to jumble and coalesce. Anger, violence and joy swirl into a cacophony around you, your sight blurs as images form in your mind. Countless dead faces flash before your eyes as yo find yourself standing in an empty warehouse as ghouls chew on the corpse of one of your victims. An elven man stands there handing you a certified credstick as you thank him in a voice that is not your own, a name starts to appear in your mind and the entire vision is ripped from you before you can make it fully out. Jo... is all you get as feelings of shock, surprise and despair bring you to the last moments and emotions of the man conscious minutes, before Slip betrayed his trust and sent him to what he thinks is is death. the emotions are strong but you are strong and regaining your since you pull yourself into the waking world.

@Jace: see description of node earlier

The node is very rudimentary and you can quickly pick out its major defining aspects the announcers at the doors are trappings of an analyze program and a dormant IC waiting to be activated. looking around you start to understand the function of many of the dance as processes running on the system. You spot the one responsible for the camera and cut into the her dance. As you dance with her you start to see the patterns on her dress change and move with the real world out side of this makeshift ball. With a thought you start to move them backwards through time to the disturbance at the front door. and changing some of the features of the Ork becomes simple as you start to understand the dancers controls. Moving her to the right pans her forward and moving her left scans back, slight pressures on her hands almost as if typing change the scene as it plays out before you. Satisfied that no one would recognize the Ork upon playing the video back you bow to the lady and she goes back to dancing with her original partner as you start to walk around the room. It is somewhat laid out like its real world equivalent it is not long before you find a door with an alarm and maglock on it that corresponds to the location of the door that the team wishes to go through and your analyses of the door confirms that this is the access to the peripheral controls for it. Touching the door a AR window pops up before you giving you full access to its controls. A smile crosses your face as you realize that like the dancer you have full control of this as well.

<@team> "I've got control over the door and our camera problem is solved.  Some of you head out with Hammer and I'll make sure the alarm doesn't go off.  I'm just going to clean up my tracks here and then I'll head out the front so I can log out gracefully when I'm done here.  Anyone got the cred to buy some silence from the staff?"

I'll use Command to mess with the door as the team goes through.  Then, I'll drop Command and bring up Spoof and roll that to get rid of my security tally: Spoof: Reduce security tally (13d6.hits(5)=4).  Finally, once the team is out of the building, I'll log off.

[Operator]

(8d6.hits(5)=1) Strength + Body test to increase Op's carrying/lifting capacity. 60 kilos at max if only the lifting aspect applies, so the ork might just be a bit too damn heavy for him to drag alone.

<@Team> He's got some weight on him, alright. I've only got a handful of cred to my name, but I could pass something along to our waiting staff and thank them for their hospitality.

<@Muzzle V.> I'm finishing up with the meet, we're ready for the details. Hammer won't be joining us.

[Redwulfe]

<Muzzel @  Operator> I figured from your last update that that would be the case. So I tracked down another possible lead for your team, you would have to meet latter though, but could be a better replacement for hammer. this one is a combat Medic, trained in martial arts and comes recommended. With the Mage I think you will be well rounded for the jobs I may send your way. For this one though you will be meeting the Johnson at 7:00 tomorrow at the rubber suit in Everrit. you've dealt with this type of Johnson before in your travel to the UCAS, so I am confident that things will go well. Good luck on the run and let me know how it went after its done.

[Operator]

Operator grunted, lifting Hammer up by the arms and starting to drag him out to the emergency exit. Heavy bastard, he thought. Either the meat body itself was massive, or more likely the cyberware was adding to the weight. Bone density or fully-chromed limbs could be the case.

<@Muzzle> Copy that, 7:00 in the evening. Should I expect the medic to contact me later, or will we see him at the meet?
<@Team> I just got our update. The Johnson will be waiting for us at the Rubber Suit in Everett, 7 pm. Muzzle's also mentioned he found a candidate with potential, a combat medic.

[Triggvi]

@Slip> Slip, before we part here it would be good to know how much is on that cred stick.

Oliver will start working getting the pic of the elf male he saw in the vision saved to his comlink. as he does other things.

OCC: what was the procedure for the weapons check? Is it like a ticket or something more secure?

[Redwulfe]

Ticket placed on the com. jace could probably move the file associated with it.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Once Slip gets back she'll pass commlink to Jace and ask about cracking it pulling everything she wants to keep and wiping the rest, (promising 25% of the cut of whatever cred it's got and what's anything else she might have found.) then assist with dumping hammer. After that's all finished She'll meet Jace at the hacker cafe` see what he's found, go over it with him then get a cab to go home.

I'll be gone for the rest of the day, don't get to far ahead 

(OOC: Edited to reflect the wishes of our investigator)

[Redwulfe]

It's my B-Day today so after I get off work i don't think I'll be in any shape to post.

[Triggvi]

Oliver will hand the comlink to Jace and have him transfer the claim ticket to his comlink. After that Slip can have his comlink. Oliver will claim Hammers gun on the way out.

@Slip> I am going to claim the ares Predator. You can pawn it later. How about we all share the what is ever on the cred stick and what you get from pawning his stuff, Slip. That is a good way to start a partnership that could net way more cred that whatever you would ever get from hammers stuff.

@Team> I will see you guys tomorrow night. I will get in contact with a the mage I know and I will let you know.

@Muzzle> Thanks for the work. You might want to sever any ties with hammer and the body leggers he works for.

[dashifen]

<@Slip> "I should be able to crack his 'link.  I don't expect that he has much in the way of security on this thing but who knows."

Jace is going to see if he knows any nice and near-by matrix cafés where he can do the crack and then let Slip dig around in Hammer's stuff.

Matrix Cafés near Alabaster Maiden (10d6.hits(5)=8)

Wow!  Guess so.

 

<@Slip> "Meet me here in fifteen minutes.  I should have it cracked by then."

Jace will follow the others out as they remove Hammer from the premises.  Making sure that the alarm is back on when they're clear, he heads downstairs, and out the front door.  Hopping on his bike, he heads out to the cafe he found on his search.  When he gets there, he'll order a soycaff head to a table and start the hack.

550 nuyen - 5 = 545 nuyen.

Shooting for Admin access on Hammer's 'link:

• Exploit:  Hack Hammer's Link (13d6.hits(5)=2)
• Exploit:  Hack Hammer's Link (13d6.hits(5)=7) - capped at 5 by program rating
• Exploit:  Hack Hammer's Link (13d6.hits(5)=4)

Once I have admin access, I'm going to just make an account for Slip and then log out.  I don't even care if I set off an alarm; a response should be delayed long enough that I can get in, create the account, and get out.  Hopefully.

[Triggvi]

OCC: Just to be Clear Oliver(Korbin) to getting Hammers Gun from the check in.

@slip> I will be happy to meet you somewhere and give you the gun in exchange for the info from Hammers comlink.

[Operator]

Once Hammer was left in the back alley, Op will seek out the waiting staff and tip the waiters/waitresses who were directly involved with the meet. 25 nuyen each to forget about the ork. Since he's favorably disposed towards security guards, he'll slide 50 each to the guys who had the drek work of facing Hammer and fraterize briefly with them. He apologizes for the disruption on Swanson's behalf and that he personally knows the job inevitably brings you in contact with 'undesirable persons.'

Hopefully his 275 will cover all the subtle bribes.

He'll switch off the white noise generator off before going to the first floor to grease the proper palms and buy their silence. Hammer was never there as far as he was concerned. After that he will leave the club through the front door. Polite gestures and everything.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Slip gets the message from Oliver halfway to the cafe.
<@Oliver>Meet me and Jace here (hacker Cafe's location) in few minutes by then Jace will have cracked it and we should have the info from his commlink you want. As for the money from pawning the rest of his gear, I'm taking 40cred to pay for that liquor i had to waste on him and Operator is going to get whatever he spent in bribes back. After all of that, whatever is left I'll split between us, but Jace is getting 25% at least because he's being nice and cracking that link for me so I don't have to hunt down someone else to do it. Anyway see you in a few, and maybe you'd like to tell me what you wanted to claim the gun so badily is about?
She sends it off, and opens another message for Operator.
<@Operator>Well I'm pretty pleased with how well that went. If you've got time before we meet up with our Johnny tomorrow would you mind stopping by my place say around 1700? I should be done working by then and I should have some nuyen for you from our... mark, to cover whatever it took to pass those bribes around. Also I'd appreciate it if you'd check over that Ares Predator Hammer had? I'd like to know what it's worth and what it's modded with so I can decide if I want to pawn it or keep it. It was good seeing you tonight, and I hope to hear from you soon. She sends it off once she's sitting down across from Jace. The look on his face is one of focus, so she decides to wait till he's not as busy to talk to him more.

<@Shaker>Don't worry about the out sourcing, I know one of the shadows i'm working with so it's a good time by me, besides you're right I could use the workout. Just remember when you come to spar, it's same rules as always, and I know what I want when I win...

I'll be gone most of the day again but I should be able to post later on tonight.

[Triggvi]

@Slip> I have no problem you or Operator recouping expenses, I would do the same. I just have bills to pay as well Slip. I have an ability that allows me to get psychic impressions off of items. Hammer loved this gun.I want to have an idea what might be coming at us. I will meet you at the cafe.

@Operator> If you need extra bribe money let me know.
