For once he broke eye contact, not from lying but from embarrassment, "...Tom. And I can give you the codes, enough for your team." He thinks for a moment, "Your problems your teams... Diversity.. Only you really look like you'd fit in with the Yaks." He goes to open the briefcase then stops. "I swear it's nothing deadly."

Anyone taking a closer look at Cho's tattoos can roll Syndicates or a relevant knowledge skill.

Silk smiled amicably. "Don't worry, Tom. We're past the point of aggression and hostility, are we not?", she said with a voice sweet as honey. "Now we've been formally introduced, I was hoping we could start a promising new relationship with each other. I do value information... and those who can supply it even more. Unfortunately our situation didn't allow to leave room for 'No' as an answer, so we were forced to take a more immediate approach to get this information. I do hope that from this point forward we can treat each other much better."
She nodded approvingly towards his hands and the briefcase. "I'm certain neither of us has anything to fear. Please, go ahead."
And I'm even more certain I could take you out or Hank could snap your neck before you managed to pull of anything dangerous, in any case.

He opens the case and pulls out 7 datachips. "These'll give yah a Horizon SIN  til Sunday, and mah commcode, they have a deal to let Corpses from there in to help with hotel costs.. 'Course I'll only activate the IDs once i'm back home safe an' sound... We got a deal on that favour?"

[Xzylvador]

"It'll be tough to sell this to my partners, heading home with little more than a promise to collect and a debt to pay... I'll see if I can get them to agree.", Silk replied with a little bit of disappointment. "Oh, you wouldn't happen to recognize this guy, would you?", she asked, her commlink showing a picture of Cho she recorded the first time they met.
She briefed the rest of the team, disappointed in herself that this appeared to be the best she could manage to get out of this.

[Chrona]

"Tat's look Triad but he's no member I've seen." Tom shrugged, "If you got a hacker he can check mah chips are legit."

Jo was puzzled a moment.  <<@Silk: You know this guy?  Wait.>>  She flipped him onto his back and checked out is face.  Chinese for sure.  Yaks don't outsource to China..  <<@Silk: Oh!  Is this the guy who chumped the lot of you at Equilibrium?  He can still talk with shattered feet, right?>>

[GrimWulf]

Noise glared out the window of her car as she drove by slowly, locking eyes with Tom and Silk in turn.   Passing Cho laying in the street, she fought off the urge to 'lose control in the rain', and continued down the block.

After his second sweep through all the frequencies, Space stood up and put his commlinkt back from the backpack.

@team: "Either this guy does not have a commlink or it was connected to a biomonitor or something and was shut down when he went down. So,... either we cut him open, or we can try to bring him to StreetDoc  - in case you know someone thrustworthy enough - so we might can active the cyberware through some maintenance sub-protocolls."

[Xzylvador]

@LJ: "Yeah, that's the guy. Lots of happy memories of that place! If you don't mind, try to keep from doing unnecessary  damage to the guy? He actually was pretty cooperative the previous time... right up until the moment he split, anyways. In any case, it wouldn't hurt being on the good side of anyone with access to delta-grade stuff, or at least not being on their bad side. Besides, if word gets spread that we're maiming 'fellow' runners just for kicks it could seriously bite us in the ass when we end up against another group."

@team: "Can try I suppose... Hank, what are the chances of a street Doc managing to cut open and analyze 'ware of this level without doing irreversible damage, to either the person or the gear? Last time we met this guy he was pretty cooperative until he spotted a chance to split. Maybe we should just be sure he doesn't find an exit this time."

[Artighur]

- A street doc ? no chance, it would require some serious installation and even then, second hand delta ware is not really street material. I guess that with Chrona's lab I could dig a couple stuff, but it would be a pain in the ass to try to sell it.

[Kontact]

<<@Silk: Catch and release ain't my thing.  That said, at least this guy has been pretty inept.  As long as our opposition keeps hiring him, we don't have too much to worry about.  Tell him though, if he keeps throwing those fucking flash-bangs, I'll take a pair of bolt-cutters to his Achilles tendons.>>

<<@team: Way this guy fucks up, maybe the only reason he's doing the work is that he's got a bomb in his head.  On a related note, the way he keeps showing up, maybe we should give him a cranial bomb ourselves.  I'll call CJ and see if there's something to be done.>>

<<@Creepy Joe:  We managed to get our hands on this Chinese hacker stuffed full of deltaware.  Ran into him at the club too.  Kinda strange that.  You have any ideas as to what we ought to do here?

[farothel]

<<@team: Way this guy fucks up, maybe the only reason he's doing the work is that he's got a bomb in his head.  On a related note, the way he keeps showing up, maybe we should give him a cranial bomb ourselves.  I'll call CJ and see if there's something to be done.>>

"If you're going to contact CJ, can you ask him if he knows what those tattoos mean," Kitten said, "If we're going to piss off someone important, I'd rather know up front.  And if we don't, it's also good to know."

[Chrona]

CJ replies to LJ after a few seconds, seems he's still quick on the AR, "Chinese Hacker? Got a pic? Hm. You sure it's not a coincidence? Find out if he knows about the target then cut him loose. Negotiations with the Irish are going well."

[Larzarus]

After some minutes, browsing through some open data-servers, Space would almost believe those SINs are real, if he didn'T know otherwise.

@team:"Those SINs look kosher. If there isn't another way, I suggest we stick with those and have to worry about this little favor later."

[Xzylvador]

"Hacker cleared the SINs, now it's just a matter of how much trust there is. Always a difficult thing in this line of work, no?", Silk said to kill some time. "This also does bring up the question why you would trust us to make good on our promise to owe you one... or what the consequences would be if we came back on our word."
