"It is very good," he lisped in Japanese.  "I do think your breasts are larger than typical, but I doubt you should find that much of a problem.  I do not think that you are a good person.  I think that you are a coward and a liar.  I am a coward and a liar, so do not think I mean insult by that.  A lie is a creative force which grows our world, and without our cowardice, hiding in darkness, everything would evaporate in the bare light of truth.  I do not like to think about that.  Regardless, perhaps this has helped you feel some of the concern, frustration and anger towards me which should be evident in a woman who has just flown across the great water with a young child."
Jun smiled presenting the four missing incisors across his top row of teeth.

<<@Silk: If we are checking into a hotel, we might prepare some luggage and hire a car at the airport.  We should discuss this with the others.  Perhaps we pretend to be traveling semi-incognito, which is why we avoid Shiawase hotels and security, opting for hires from the airport and a Horizon hotel?>>
Jun left Habu's water closet.
<<@Team: Noise.  Kitten.  Do either of you have security licenses?>>

I don't know, but if this place is Horizon-country, they will have their own guards, own stuff, even their own toilet-paper. They don't present much public info (except the usually we-are-beeter-than-the-other-hotels) but I will check if for a some conference or something like that in the matrix. Usuall these hotels rent some conference halls, catering and hotel room for some events... just a few minutes, starting matrix search.

Space sends his search bot to look, if a science community, a smaller company or any other group have a conference, party etc. at the hotel. (Even if the hotel itself doesn't present this info in public, maybe the participance of the conference, party, ect. wrote it on their website.)

[Chrona]

There is not currently a conference at the hotel, and there is no public node, travelling there on the Matrix leads to extraterritorial red tape.

PM @ LJ: "Let's start with dinner first? Maybe get an idea of how to get in and out without drawing attention that doesn't involve paying 1000 nuyen per night. A bit late to be taking a child, so we either wait for brunch in the morning or I go under a different guise and with other company tonight."

<<@Silk:  A first pass at their gate security is probably a good idea.  We'll only need the hotel room outside of the time of extraction if we got to build a map of the complex, and that part might be unnecessary if we can find a digital means.>>

Jun sat on one of the coffin beds.  It was both familiar and alien to him.  Mostly alien because it was clean.

<<@Space:  Do you have a tapper bug?  I don't know these things.  Something we could plant or use to patch into Horizon's system on a dry run?>>

Silk stepped out of the bathroom into the living quarters. She was aware of the surprised and curious looks of her colleagues but ignored them. She needed to stay in character to get a better feel of her new persona.
Oren Fukuyama spoke English the way it was taught in a Japanese business school, with a thick Japanese accent and in the demanding authoritarian way she always spoke.
"Right, so, first things first. We need to find out where exactly this guy is staying, what he's doing there, if he's got a routine or a schedule. We need to check out hotel security and get a map of the place.
Space, Romy, how much of this stuff can we accomplish through the matrix and with drones and how much will we need to do ourselves?
Does anyone have any contacts in the gambling business or with some other high rollers who might know what this guy is doing here? Bartenders, club owners... Millionaires with some time to kill and too much money to spend have to draw some attention passing through town."

She opened an AR window and called James Porter. He was just a bartender, but it was an expensive bar where people with too much money sometimes picked up women to spend an evening with. You never knew what info he picked up.

[Kouryuu]

>Sorry my hands ar tied to the wheel at the moment, but if Space has no luck in the matrix search I am sure i would do even less.
As for contacts, doubt he would visit a junk-yard or be a former marine.<
there is a sharp breaking
>Dam those ghouls why they have to wander around the street at night while i have to drive.<

"Click-- Oh, hey, what's up?" Porter is wiping down a portion of the bar as he speaks.

Use the usual legwork/cost rules in anniversary

Aswan's voice sounded through the commlink. "Hey James, I was wondering if you could help me out. Rumor is there's this millionaire passing through town, a Japanese guy named Jinjou Aki. He's not from the city, apparently new to having so much money and he hasn't called in any... entertainment services, as far as I know.
But if I could, you know, accidentally run into him in a club or bar, I'm sure I could convince him how pleasant Seattle can be with the right kind of girl by his side. So if you happen to catch anything about him, be sure to let me know about it? I'll be sure to remember what bar to spend the money at!"

[OOC: Completely unfamiliar with those rules... doesn't the GM determine how well skilled/knowledgeable/connected they are?]

[Artighur]

Hank had sat down for a while now, reading files about cyberhands and arm surgery, keep it fresh to his memory. He kept reading until Silk entered the living room.

- Gambling ? Meh, I know a couple gamblers at the club but to be honest they are not the high stakes type ... and especially not millionaire people...but I know my SIN is pretty safe to get a look inside. Might be safer than to risk MAD scanners. By the way anyone got something to hide to these ? That could help setting up something.

"I'll keep my ear to the ground, try to let you know. It'll probably cost though."

He gets n extra dice per 100 nuyen you give him max. increase at his connections.

[Xzylvador]

"Hey, if I can find him there'll be plenty of money in it for both of us. But if I can't... I'm just a working girl, you know. If I could just throw money around I wouldn't need to be doing this in the first place! I can spare 150, the same again if you come up with something good."

"I'll see what I can do sweet cheeks"

[GrimWulf]

Noise places a call to Stasya, it was time to find out if this guy did have any connections to the Vory or not, and if he was the high roller that it seems she'd know if he was involved.

"Sister! How very good it is to speak to you again. I am very much liking the new gift you were able to acquire for me. I believe it will be coming in handy very soon.  I need something else now. I am looking for information about a man who has recently been put on my radar.  His name is Jinjou Aki. Got a picture for you too." *sends attachment*

"He look very much the bum.. Sure you not should be asking Ghouls if they spat him out? Glad you like the toy." She takes a closer look at the picture, switching to russian, "He looks a little familiar, I'll ask around discreetly."

same rules as Xzy got
