Card grabs one of the cards, pocketing it with ease. "Indeed. I can't think of anywhere we coudl afford, unless a slightly rowdy bar is alright with you."

"If it's all right with you, I have an apartment in the Elven District.  It's not much, but it's quiet and it's private."

That'll be near the Ancients too, let's go.

Finley messages his new team with his address. "Unfortunately, I didn't bring my bike, so unless I could bum a ride off one of you, I'll have to meet you guys there."

"I've only got a one-seater, I'll meet you guys there though." Pyro replies.

"I'll be walking too then..."

Sinkhole heads to the address.

The night is just miserable enough for the lot of you to make it to your destination unburdened by any interlopers.


I figure you all are going to plan, so I'll let you plan and keep an eye on this topic to place the next piece of story when I think you've making some real progress

Once reaching the apartment Pyro starts asking the others, "So, we should get things straight. Like who's gonna go in, who's going to provide outside support, and what to do with the rest of the runners that don't fit in the first two categories.  I think a good place to start would be for everyone to introduce themselves and their skills, I'd rather not send some razorboy in to pretend to be our inside guy" he takes a second to look around for any obvious cyberware users, "No offense."

Finley stood up, and made a gesture to draw attention. "I'll go first, since we're using my home as our make-shift HQ.  My name is Finley Kaufmann, otherwise known as Silver Bee.  And I'll say this upfront, I don't kill people, period.  With that out of the way, I'd say I'm pretty skilled at conversation.  I'd gladly volunteer to be the "inside guy", as it were.  Plus, I think talks will go smoother Elf to Elf."

"Obvious" was an understatement in Sinkhole's case.
"Um.. What's a razorboy?..
Pleased to meed you Silver Bee... I'm Sinkhole... Um... I'm big.. er,"
he rolls up a sleeve, "I'm metal from the neck down so I'm pretty robust. I'm okay in a fight.. apparently.. right now I've got an Ares Pred IV...
Oh and if you didn't realise, I don't have a fake SIN yet.."

Looking thoughtful for a minute and running a chrome hand through his shaggy black hair, he added, "I don't mind going in, 'The wordsmiths need muscle behind them' is what my Boss said. On that point though, if the agents are looking to hire a runner team... isn't it best we all go?
He absent mindedly starts checking over his pistol, his moments becoming quick and practised.

"Oh are any of you... you know... Magic? That stuff barely works on me apparently. I'm ill or something, I didn't understand."

"A razorboy is another name for a street sam, or someone with cyber up the ass." Card replied, finding somewhere to sit down. "I'd offer to be a face, but as Bee here said, we have the elf issue. The Ancients aren't big on working with other metatypes." he said, stretching out a little. "Though I'm glad we both agree on the no killing. I'm betting we live by the same tao, Bee." he mentioned with a smile. "Besides, from what I've heard, most places pay more if you do a run with no kills. Less property damage means less chance of being tracked down or something."

"But for introduction, just call me Card. I specialize in hand to hand self defense and driving, but I can strike a deal when needed. No cyber here, because my body has a high sensitivity to such things. So you all know, my primary employer is the Yellow Lotus, which is why I was originally leery about the job, but getting this war over with would be highly beneficial."

At the mention of the Yellow Lotus, a thought popped into Finley's head.  "Yellow Lotus, huh?  Think they'd be willing to provide some help?  Discretely, of course.  Maybe provide some funds for weapons, gear, the like?  I mean, since we're decided on the Ancients, we'll be hurting the Yaks, and I'm sure the Triads would appreciate that."

"Hm... okay, so now we know each other and have a lead, anyone have any contacts with the ancients?" Pyro asks

"I can try. It'll take a couple of days at best though. I'm hoping we don't need all that much gear, but we do need one of our elven friends to go get a job first." he said, looking over at Bee. "Go see if they won't give us something to start, and we'll work from there."

"Will do.  But that being said, how do we go about introducing ourselves?  It's not like we can walk up to an Ancient on the street and say 'Hi, I'm a Runner, and I'd like to work for you.'  We're gonna have to find one of the higher ups.  Suggestions?"
