Tossing Neil's office turned up a number of personal effects but very little business info. It would seem that he was a bit deeper into the shadows than Alpha Blue had suspected if he wasn't keeping client records. There was a picture of him and Blue in a holoframe on his desk. It must have been taken before a few cosmetic mods, but it was definitely her. Strewn across the desk, and on the cabinets were a number of little robots capable of preforming a repetitive action when triggered. Inside the desk, there were a set of Baoding balls in a case (which probably didn't get much use except to house an emergency credstick,) a Hammerli 620s that most definitely didn't get much use (or care,) and an almost full box of 9mm caseless rounds. Beneath the desk, Johnny found Neil's Nexus, bolted to the floor. The man loved his 'tronix and certainly didn't get out much. A sentiment backed up by the near constant chatter of his office node's personality program.
The store room was full of cleaning supplies and half-finished projects. Looking through one of the cabinets, Johnny noticed that it seemed a bit smaller on the inside than he would have expected. A quick search produced a false back, behind which sat a number of electronic devices including a makeshift remote weapons platform, handheld UWB Radar scanner, and a cluster of 8 Novatech Airware links all wired together and bound in a hollowed-out book.
All-in-all, there didn't seem to be any physical evidence of Neil's dealings with Multitech.
While all this searching was going on, Mary heard the elevator ding and saw a man get off and begin walking their way. He certainly didn't have a threatening air about him, and he was carrying a box with both his hands, but his intentions were still unclear.
Across town Ghost received a telepathic message from his watcher spirit in Gibson Hall. "Hey! Hey! There's a guy in the Hall! I'm telling you like you told me to tell you!"
