I brought her some flowers and pasta. She said she will be staying late - some conference of the Board. I thought I brighten her evening. And then I got back to myself to do some work.

I was playing a switchboard game. Vort had been smuggling something into the city. I hacked their commlinks and made sure their talks were carbon copied on the police bands. Childish I know but fun. Especially when you look at them from the grid visualisation.

And then they came to me. Building owner opened the door for them. The entire squad pinned me down to the floor. That's all.

Sam made a back-flip in his thoughts as he had got the first part of the puzzle in the hand, and he would only need to do some more investigating on it to place it in the Big picture.
" Who is this Vort?
So you spent the whole evening Indoors? Might I assume that the building has some sort of security measures, like security cameras, scanners?"
 Having the Alibi thing out of the way, Sam turned his attention to the reason for the attack. It would seem the timing it self was curios, if not plainly illogical, getting Dean arrested would not be the primary goal, or he would be there already few weeks back when he started Dating Alice, so what was the main reason for the attack
"Why do you think the attack took place just now, why not last week, why not the next week? Might there been some security venerability, some new program in the end development, maybe they needed to get rid of you for some bigger event or would you say it is just a time like any other?"

[Sentinemodo]

I meant Vory - Russians.
It was time like any other but of course every corp is on the brink of breakthrough all the time. That's why they are funding their research programs. LuCom is dealing in systems software and security. Maybe someone wanted to get an early peek at new security mechanisms.

[Sentinemodo]

As of the alibi. They say quite correctly that editing the feeds for this purpose would be quite easy for me and was rejected.

"so in other words you have no clue why it happened at this exact moment? Do you by any means have knowledge about the conference Alice went to, what where they supposed to speak about, why did Alice and the other one still there at that time?
Also good thinking in the Alibi," Sam nears Deans Ear and whispers "you know, this will still help us in a way, we can see if someone has been keeping an eye on you. and no one erases 100% of the footage, there are just too many Cameras around nowadays." Going back to his normal voice " A pity you are known as a hacker, that could have been the easy way out. Still flowers and the pasta is playing in your favor.
Do you often play tricks like the one with the Wory on other families? does it not bring some reciprocation with it?

[Sentinemodo]

it's Vory not Wory. Vory v Zakone a Russian Mafia or rather mix of a common bandits and ex secret service agents.

make a roll on Denver gangs knowledge

And yes I play like this often. The trick is not to get caught or even better frame someone else or let them think its KE job.

[Sentinemodo]

I lean over to unca Omar...I suggest requesting a look at the evidence against our client. I also find it odd that they magically pull his access I'd just before the node crashes. That would be extreme coincidence.

That's no coincidence - I was framed. I haven't done it, neither the hack nor the murder.

[Sentinemodo]

"Now we find the bastards that did this."

Good!

[Sentinemodo]

"so in other words you have no clue why it happened at this exact moment? Do you by any means have knowledge about the conference Alice went to, what where they supposed to speak about, why did Alice and the other one still there at that time?

As far as they told me - the other one was the guard - Allen Ethland, I think - and he was guarding the building's entrance that night. Got no details on the conference other than it was her boss and some others talking to some overseas bosses.

[Kouryuu]

That's no coincidence - I was framed. I haven't done it, neither the hack nor the murder.

"I am sorry that our newest member has still not learned to form his thoughts properly, of course we believe that you have been framed. Still we need to look at the evidence against you, or the circumstance evidence as such, for example what ammunition and weapon was used, if the guard might have some cyberware witch could have recorded something, the list goes on."

Sam playing a bit surprised "Ooh did i get the right pronunciation wrong again, i am sorry but these foreign words sometimes plague me like that."
then returning to his business like self  " Do you play those trick only on the Vory, hope this time i get it correct, or do you entertain the Triads and the Yakuza as well? Any other Families that have been the target of these games?
Are there any other skilled Forgers in other Families who would like to get rid of you, to gain a bigger market share or any other benefits?"

@team >Even if we suspect he might actally done it, witch of course is a possibility, we should not confront him with the belief ubtil we have some proof of that.<

That's they way of doing business nowadays. We play them, they play us. Except Chavez, I've been gaming against everyone in town. All of them have their own forgers, don't know, haven't met better then me thou. Was it a hint of proud in his voice? Talking about the work keep him away from the cliff of depression it seems.

"So what are the scores? Who do you play the most, who plays you? it would be helpful to know if it's possible, as it might point in the direction to the ones who would gain the most from Framing you." Sam didn't had much hope the get results that where that sensitive and most likely not available, but still Dean seemed very convinced about his abilities and might have some way to determine the origin of the attacks.

[Sentinemodo]

I guess that with the yesterday game I scored most points against Vory but that would be too short time for retaliation, and I'm sure they don't know it was me. Triads were leading until then. Yakuza on the other hand has most gamers on their side. Could've been everyone :/

"Has there been some big reciprocation because of this game, some High rank arrest, a loss of a big shipment to either of the parties?"
Sam was still wondering that Dean takes this hacking business so light, like it where just a game of tag.

[Sentinemodo]

"Has there been some big reciprocation because of this game, some High rank arrest, a loss of a big shipment to either of the parties?"

We've lost some, they lost some.

[Sichr]

Did they told you where Alice was killed? Guard a the entrance, that sounds reasonable. But Manager assistant? How good do you know her. Do you think she could have been involved? That she may know attackers? Does she know your AccessID?
Since they have been beaten to death, I dont think atackers needed any special amunintion...well if they used explosives to destroy Lucom nexus, that would be your cup of tea.
Mouse, exactly my idea, and when we are in UCAS, this may work. Id be very interested to have a look at those security feeds they collected...and step by step story of What-really-happens-there should be helpfull also.
