Meanwhile in the VR footage:

Space stoped the camera fedd and take a closer look at the turret (before the flash frames) and make a picture of it.  (1)

He starts the feed again and watch the meeting and looks for anything he didn't see in the simple AR version.  (2)

A warning move into his vision, telling him, that the first flash frame will accure soon. Right befor this happens, Space stops the feed again and take a closer look at the scene, where everybody stands (3), what kind of impression are on their faces (4), etc., moving close to every merc so he can recognise any changes after the second flash frame.

He jumps to the first frame (skiping just the noise) where the turret is removed, and look around the room, where is everybody (5) and important, who works on the drone (5).

With a good reason, he skips the second fram completly, only take a look at the time stemp to see how much time is missing in the feed. (6)
Again the scene with the meeting: Space stops the feed right after it shows an image again. First, Space goes to the turrent and compare picture (1).

Then he moves back to the meeting table, and again Space looks for hints, he didn't see in the AR version (7) and makes a note where everybody stands now (8}.

And also look at their expression now (5) and compares their faces with the picutres he before the first flash frame [while Space made (4)], if something happens to them, e.g. surgical scars, different eye color through new cybereyes.

He continue the feed and watch the meeting and what everybody do at the end (9).

Space leaves the VR footage and prepares a little Holoprojector presentation with the pictures and notes he made. (10)

"Hi again Joe."  Angela replied in the same deadpan voice she had used when talking earlier about the Ciarniello situation.  "No need to worry, I didn't come here for that.  I came to drop off the leader from the mercs across the street and to discuss furthering our contract regarding Corland Ragley.  We've made significant progress already toward..  Excuse me, there's another message coming in from the others.  Hopefully one of them is going to show up for a digital meet.  By the way, this is Kitten.  Chrona knew her I suppose."
[OOC:  8d6.hits(5) → [3,3,3,1,5,4,1,2] = (1) composure fail.]
A shiver ran through Angela's body coupled with a slight purring noise.  "I.. excuse me a moment, some new information just came in."
She placed the invisible body on the floor and let Kitten do her thing while she took a closer look at the footage.  "Oh my..  That's interesting.."

<<@team:  What's the story with the drone?  What happened when you got there?  Tell me everything.>>


"Approximately how much does Ragley owe, because this operation is proving to be... extensive.  When Still Waters told me that the hacker Ragley had hired was crammed full of Deltaware, I thought he was a fool, but this ridiculousness is looking more and more like the norm.  Apparently, this man I've brought you might not even be who he thinks he is.  Everything we know is now suspect, and whatever advantage we might have thought we had has disappeared.  I don't think we're in a position to press forward anymore..  Well, at least we've brought you a fine organ bank.."

(1) Unmodified, obviously old, A mounted.
(2) Salt seems very displeased with the meeting, Ragley is sitting still as he negotiates.
(3)The Black man its two the right of Ragley, Sat sits opposite on the other side of the table, two mercs stand behind him.
(4) Displeased.
(5) No one has moved.
(6) 5 Seconds.
(7) The Turret is now seamless and sporting the powerful rifle.
(8} No one seems to have moved, Salt seems much more agreeable. No one eyes, skin, etc seems different.
(9) They she hands, Ragley and the Black man leave, sometime later so do the mercs and Salt.


"OH, LJ it's you," He asks the spirit to stand down. "Nice disguise. Hello Kitten, If Chrona picked you thats good enough for me." He stands, offering to shake Kitten's hand.

"All I know is "a lot", I'm looking into his account now. I agree that maybe we've pushed the envelope enough for tonight. There's still the original job I had planned but I'll need...about a week to re-secure the details for your team."
When the spell lowered CJ took a quick look, crouching down, "As soon as the docs check him out we'll wire you the cash."

Space looks at his notes, comparess the pictures again and get more and more confused. Back from VR, he starts his Holoprojector to show the rest of the team those photos. (He also sends them to the rest of the team at the clinic with a copy of his explanation about them, but only those in the coach room will see the pictures floating through the room.)

Looking at those footage, I have to admit that Silk here is right, someone definitly edit the footage. The time missing, with this flash frames, is only 5 seconds, but nobody can change the turret from this [old turret], doing that [flash frame 1] into that [new turret]. Specially since nobody of the merc's, Salt and so on, moved even an inch. The only thing what changes is Salt's expression [both pictures of Salt, before and after the flash frames], but as you see: Nothing what indicates the ... urgs .... happens in the second frame. On the other side, the turret actually changed, but with the settings, I found when I checked the software, it should had attacked the merc's right at the meeting. I have to admit, I'm a little bit confuesed.

@team: Chinese Hackerman? Who's that? Where does he come into this story? So far Space only had heard about Salt, Ragley and those mercs but nothing about a hacker?

@Team: "He certainly seemed to have the skills for it, no way we would be able to detect any of his hacks. No offense Space, you did a good job so far and I don't doubt you're skilled, but that guy was in a whole different league than all of us. Only... he didn't seem the type for this kind of disgusting thing. He was fairly friendly and professional. Let's face it, Noise, he could've done some serious damage to us but instead he just walked. Ehm... Kitten, was it? Could magic do this kind of stuff or am I really that bad a judge of character?"

Well he was a chineese and a hacker. As well as a delta ware ninja. And was running fast as hell. I know Silk had a talk with him, was kinda busy with a body but that pretty much it.

The first drone took some of her time, but she had managed to finish the maintenance, greeting ceremony and now befor taking care of the second took a peak in the inbox, witch was overflowing from the teams chatter. she started to read hear 3 mails at a time, helpful to have your brain linked to your com.

as she saw Silks warning she stopped the footage on the first frame, left it for later.

the most recent team chatter was getting more and more interesting, a mystery no less.
and Andromeda could help to fill Space in on the mysterios Hacker-ninja.

@Space >You should be able to find it here<+[attachment - single file containing the footage the sedan took, uncut and raw. 5 min +/- from the approximate time she used it to block the door.

PM @ Space: "If you want to look for him on the matrix, he's an ex-triad named Cho. Please keep his name to yourself for now, when we met the situation was pretty hostile and the team's aggressive behavior spooked him. If you find him, please don't do anything to make him hostile or scare him away again; or even better, put me through to him." --- Image File Attached ---

@Team >as it looks like we are ready to leave this place, i would like to ask if someone has anything left here to do, if not i would like to ask permission from Noise to park her Car in Habu so we can leave this friendly neighbourhood.
They can speak while we travel, but staying here will just make more people aware of them, and better keep those eyes to a minimum.

@Noise >You can even have the Bedroom for yourself if you want, or some coffin-hotel beds like any other sleepy persons. myself i prefer to work on the drones some more and then taking some shut-eye.<
Andromeda quickly ran out of the trailer and took Noises car in it's garage compartment. closing the door's and giving Habu the order to move out. general direction Club Excalibur, notify point is half the distance to it.
@LJ.and.Kitten >when you are ready to move out just com me.<
a fast look to the back of the trailer revelled a lot more free space in the garage, Noises car was defiantly smaller then the sedan.
small and compact, might i risk a peak under the hood? nah, drone first.

Space turn the projector off and put it back into his backpack. Leaning back into the coach, he think about the Cho, the Ex-Triad hacker and if he has seen his face somewhere before.
Space tries to remember, if he know this hacker from of his chat rooms at  Data Haven or his PTP networks:
Does he know Cho?
He also looks into his old contact list, from his time with the Vorys. If this guy was a Triad, maybe Space can ask one of the old Vory hackers about him. 'If you searching for your friend, ask his enemys.'
Does he know Vory hackers? Although, it would be risky to go in this direction. Space never knows where Kork has some old connections and Space definitly doesn't want him to show up here in Seattle.

Space feels the moving of the truck, when they start to move away from the safe house. While he is still in range, he activates the magelocks and the cameras of the safe house and all other security systems of the safe house, except the self-destruction..
@team: 1) I activate the security system of the safe house. I hidde the self-destruction and encrypted it, so I hope this place will still be intact when/if we come back. There will be an alarm which right know doesn't call anybody of use. I don't like to use my private commcode, but if you give me any some disposable commlink or code, I can direct the alarm to this one.

2) Kitten could take a look at this turrent, so we can be sure if its magic or not.


And to the people at the coach room in Habu, Space says: "I don't know how you lady's, sorry Hank, feel but I could need a small coffee break after all this hacking and cracking."
With this, Space focus move to his AR windows. While his left arm relaxe on the armrest, his other hand moves smoothly through the air, moving some documents and actual news feeds in and out of his main vision.
