Our Dear Friend the Body guard brings some info on Andre and Miss Daee
Ahuechei - Really have had this alias to work on for a week almost and still have to check how the hell it's correct to type :D

Andre

>>Before Charisma Associates, he worked for the Actor’s Guild in Hollywood in the 2050s. For six years he was a bodyguard, and he has the scars to prove it.

>>He then cashed in on a few favors and became a manager. He didn't do it for the money; he did it because, as a bodyguard, he saw that many stars didn't have the brains to protect themselves from their own weaknesses. They often created problems that, as a bodyguard, he had to pull them out of.

>>As manager, he was militant in the skills he wanted his stars to learn, and he helped his clients make fewer mistakes. His background as a bodyguard also came in handy in those times when he had to body-check a crazed fan or nosy camera drone.

>>After Charisma Associates hired Guiles, they immediately matched him up with Christy Daee. His discipline did wonders to shape up Daee into a novastar. As she shot up in fame, his years of experience have kept the paparazzi away from her private life.

>>He knows of Daee’s history of BTLs, but will did not divulge the information to the runners, nor would he allude to any problems she might have with drugs or alcohol. He wanted present Daee to the runners as the media presents her: a normal, happy, young woman who was an unfortunate and unwilling victim. He did not think that this information would help to find the Data chip in any way.

Daee

>>She is well mannered and speaks softly. She is uncomfortable with unfamiliar faces off stage and tries to avoid the fans unless her manager is there. With those she knows, she is very friendly and playful.

I'm not sure if it's applicable, but I have matrix gangs knowledge.  They do have a heavy matrix presence, so it might be.  Kour, your call
intiution 4 + matrix gangs 2 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=1) (not that I will know much).

Searching on the matrix (datasearch).  I don't know the interval, but I'm not going to be looking for more than about 1 hour or so, at least at the moment.  Let me know the interval and I'll do some extra searches back in the hotel.
electronics (group) 4 + browse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=4)
the interval is 15 min and after 90 min you have collected some more bit's of information on Bacchus and A-Kidz

>>Bacchus used to be on A Gang’s Life with the other A-Kidz gang, but he rebelled and tried to make his own show in competition to A Gang’s Life, called LA Gang Life.

>>Bacchus is talking about something big to add to his show. So far the only thing he’s tried to add is rap.

>>Artificial Kidz, a.k.a. A-Kidz, are highly augmented corporate brats and rich-kid runaways who have put together a booster gang.

>>The A-Kidz hang out at Club K when not causing mayhem.

>>All of them Post almost every thing they do on their Shows right now they are making fun of a fathomless person in the back-alley of Club K

Freya's rolls for the information collecting in the party:
17d6.hits(5) → [4,3,3,5,2,3,5,3,3,2,4,4,5,1,2,5,2] = (4)
17d6.hits(5) → [2,4,1,6,4,4,2,5,2,4,5,4,5,5,2,1,6] = (6)
17d6.hits(5) → [1,2,6,2,5,5,4,2,3,6,5,6,5,2,2,1,4] = (7)
17d6.hits(5) → [3,1,3,2,4,3,5,1,4,2,6,2,2,4,2,3,3] = (2)
17d6.hits(5) → [5,4,1,2,3,4,2,6,6,6,2,5,4,5,1,5,4] = (7)


>>Even if her beauty and voice rivals Eleven ones, she still is just human, according to official and unofficial data

>> She is like two different persons when she is around her manager and when not.

>>Christy Daee had a natural talent for singing since she was a child. Born in 2048 in Seattle, she was an early star, beginning at age fourteen when she was a singing star on a teen pop trid, High School Musical, the Series.

>>Four years Later, her contract was bought out by Pathfinder Multimedia and her family moved to California.

>>Pathfinder found that Christy Daee had been hiding a drug problem that was getting worse, but they managed to keep that out of the media with the help of Andre Guiles from Charisma Associates. Pathfinder took the time to get her straightened out and trained before putting her back in the spotlight.

>>After a one-year hiatus from the trid, Christy Daee came back in 2066 as a classic pop singer, and her first album, Dancing with Fireflies, which included hit music sung for High School Musical, was a huge hit. The album’s variety of songs displayed her new vocal maturity and showed off her talent well.

>>She won five awards that year, including album of the year, singer of the year, and song of the year. She continued to win at least one award every year and make global tours. Last year’s album, Rainy Daee, built on her success, with her songs heard everywhere from commercials to trideos.

>>Her only competition to date is the Japanese singing sensation Teiko.

Both your Legwork took approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, the party is also coming to an end, a few of the the best known guests are starting to leave, others will soon follow suite.

The girls know that staying last will generate only Bad Rap, so this is the time to leave, Boys, if they are still around, leave too.

>> The Feed from Bacchus is silent for a few hours, the last entry is from a Coffin motel downtown on Salt Lake Avenue called Ghouls nest
You can camp out waiting for him, but from what you see in the feed from today and the day before, first thing he will do, when he wakes up, is post something on the feed.

So i will let you decide yourself when you are ready to leave, but every one who had 4+ on perception roll, will notice a Drone among the paparazzi ones not making pictures, and following you.  7+ Hits, you notice also a Dalmatian drone circling above in the sky, following you to the hotel

Narrate it as you like, you can also try to lose it, but then you will have to leave the Night-Sky, as that car is not yours and the Driver is not really happy about risking it :)

Unless these are Zurich-Orbital drones like the others, I can probably 'convince' them to go play somewhere else.  I'll do it tonight when I get back from work (I have to look up the drone rules and I don't have my books at work).

Yay, a taker! You score extra points with Rafa! ;) They're worth way more than 100 nuyen, it's a bargain!

Gonna roll here in case it's completely impossible... if it's possible, Kour can narrate the outcome:
Agi 8 + Skill 8 + Take Aim 3 - Called Shot for Extra Damage 4 (15d6.hits(5)=5) Damage = 11P + Nethits.

I hope you give me the time to have a quick look at it.  Also, as Sent is the only one who has seen the other drone, I hope he'll tell me so I can do the same thing with that one.  :)

Hey, anyone wanna follow Rafa, just ask him or subscribe to his Pito!
Don't go sneaking up on him and then be surprised if he doesn't like it. =p

Actually, he'll post that on his Pito, along with the footage of the drone exploding in pieces!

Did you even spot it before Rafa smashed it? :p
I know Caretaker did (he also spotted the other drone high up in the air, Rafa didn't)
Rafa's not pointing at it or anthing, he wants to kick the damned thing into pieces before it can fly up and get away.

Hm, looking back, I suppose Rafa could have plucked it out of the air and messed around with it for a bit, before stomping on it or letting it go depending on what Panther found.
 But I'm guessing Kour is already writing what happened, not gonna make him do all that work for nothing. And that would have made Rafa lose the bet! :p

Yeh, right! Rafa would never lose a bet!  :P Especially to one of the girls... It's a pity, maybe Panther would have found something useful in that bug...

If you're first putting down bets after telling that there is a drone, I assumed I had time to have a look at it.  And you can still shoot it after I've found out all I can.  In fact I prefer you shoot it down as they can't trace me with a bunch of charred electronics.  :)

I just couldn't write my part down this morning as I was at work.  But let's see what Kour says.
