You arrive at your destination, the corner of Upper Ridge Rd & Eighteenth St. SW. The self expounded "Largest night club in Everette" stands before you, reminiscent of an old vaudevillian theatre in all it's former glory. A large AR representation of Godzilla fighting a giant moth can be seen sprawled across it's marque. Luckily for you the rubber suit is "Now open for Lunch" and as you cross the parking lot, you stop to take in the grandeur of it all and switch your vision secretly to the astral plane to check the building and get the most of it's depth. Sadly it's astral version is grey and modern with not much of a background to match it's physical splendor. Continuing to walk towards the building your are greeted first by the house node asking for you to subscribe for "maximum enjoyment of you visit" and secondly as you enter by a young Japanese woman dressed in a girlish style of black skirt, white blouse, knee length white socks, and slender black neck tie. Her hairs is done in a childish ration of two pony tails on either side of her head and she waves to you with two fingers spread to form a small 'V'. As she speaks you realize no noise is coming from her but your com is broadcasting her speech off sink of her pantomimed greeting.
"Welcome to the rubber suit, table for one?" You look around the club as you answer her question and notice that the entire place has been modeled as a miniature version of Tokyo in the late 1970's. Chairs and tables are formed from buildings, the isles are modeled like the streets of the city with sparking power-lines randomly keeping some people on their toes, miniature cars and tanks scurry about underfoot as people make there way to their tables, and small helicopters with under cabling carry drink and food orders to tables though out the place. A weapons check is located near the main entrance and the MAD scanner located there seems to be of good quality. Directly across from the main entrance is an emergency exit and to the left is a raised hill that houses a sushi bar and a door posted as "Restricted Access" where the drones seem to originate from. The center of the the building is a large open area modeled after a park and seems to be the dance floor that is closed for lunch hours. Music can be heard softly through your com which you notice can be customized to your preferences. Patrons are sparse at this time and, probably due to the newness of there lunchtime hours. Currently only five groups are seated and the only thing that you see as standing out is the fact that all of them are human, not a meta human in the bunch. You answer the woman's question and she directs you to follow the ARO guidelines to your table. As you reach your destination the house node prompts you with a full menu for not only the food and drinks that you can order but also with the latest digitally remastered Holovision battles of the restaurant's superstar "for the first time ever." You place your lunch order and look around once again shifting your vision to the other realms. It is not long after your vision shifts that you see the large form of a spirit in the form of the clubs main attraction, it seems to not notice you and you take the chance to study it briefly before shifting your perception back as to not be noticed. After after an hour you finish your meal and your viewing of a battle in Holovision between Godzilla and Gigan on the dance floor. You take your leave of the rubber suit to explore the neighborhood for the next few hours. In your after lunch stroll you take in the neighborhood with the same discrimination that you gave the meet location. It is run down and many buildings are abandoned and except for the occasional squatter. Many of the buildings are former industrial facilities from Everette's former prosperity, but have fallen to disrepair and misuse. Many buildings could be used for nefarious purposes, which unsettled you greatly, numerous snipper rousts and some locations that have already been habitude by seedier personages, a local gang has taken up in one empty warehouse two blocks from the rubber suit and in the same distance but the other direction seems to be the home to a bunraku parlor. In every direction you go from the Rubber Suit is a new location where a potential threat could rest. You leave the area for a time, so as not to be too noticeable walking around and to prepare for tonight's meet returning around 5 to meet with the rest of your group before meeting the Johnson.
@Nadir: please feel free to make an assessing of the spirit and I will give you the details you got during you're examination

Traffic from Tam's was more atrocious than ever. A truck that had decided not to allow the grid guide to handle the inner city driving, had collided with a Eurocar and it caused you normally hour travel to take 2 and a half. The only good thing that came out of it was the time that it gave you to look around the matrix and scope the nightclub out. You start a search for a purge program in the background as you look up the Rubber Suit's access ID and start to prob the club's node. Not long into your inquiries your search for the program comes back with several hits from various sources, some free, some open sourced, and some from standard retail outlets. Continuing your probe of the node you notice that it is not highly secure. It seems to have rudimentary security and no Firewall to speak of you gain access to the location and quickly upgrade it permissions to admin through an older exploit in in it's Trid program. Many would have had it patched by now, it was a shock that a half a year latter your exploit software would have found a location that would not have used the security updates that would have made your attempts at least a little challenging. The node is sculpted as a train within Tokyo that you can look out of the windows to watch the battles in progress the battle draws ominously near and the tracks ahead get smashed while you are there. Before the train crashes the entire systems sculpture resets to before the monsters crashed into the maglift. Once in the node it is not long before you have explored it's systems which mostly consist of the Holovision and music subsystems. You do find the maglocks and the fact that there is a lack of security cameras within the facility. No hidden nodes, IC, or other users besides those guest accounts that are currently dinning in the building are within the train. The administrative sections have few if any files of importance many are bookkeeping files as well as invoices and requests for converting many of the older films to Holovision. Before you had time to examine further you finally arrive at your destination. Keeping the node in an open AR window you approach the building you notice a Japanese gentleman wearing, what looks like a earbud that is wired to his com from behind his ear. He is wearing a black suit and tie and is concealing his eyes behind a pair of mirrored glasses. As you approach he stops you to say in a out of sink vocal styling,
"Name and business sir?"@everyone as each of your arrive the club is the same as above, no new patrons will start showing until about 6-6:30, the man outside is a bouncer and is just playing his part, and will let you pass so long as you are not carrying. If you are he will still let you pass but asks you to check your weapon first. Feel free to describe each of your entrances using the elements from above. If you wish additional information I will provide it on a case by case basis.If you ask for the Johnson party your will be told to hang out at the bar until 6:45 and then will be escorted into the restricted access room. It is the kitchen and there seems to be not only the clubs office back there but also a private meeting area that is equipped with a white noise generator and a large oak conference table, but nothing else. Once everyone is in the room, or settled I will introduce the Johnson.
