"But there is one more condition i would like to ask of you," Andre stops for a brief moment collecting his thoughts, "One Of the Bodyguards has voiced interest to rectify his mistake, " He turns to the wall next to him and by a push of a button opens a hidden door " Ahuechei, come here, you will work with these associates and remember you this is your last chance!" A Elf in a black Suite enters the room, you notice tribal tattoos.

Well, well... I wonder what other surprises you have prepared for us... Freya thought to herself.

Hello there! Maybe you could introduce yourself? Seems that we'll be forced to spend some time together... Freya asked with an icy edge to her otherwise lovely voice.

"Oh great, we're gonna be babysitters for failed bodyguards now?", Rafa mumbled under his breath. "This guy better carry his own weight."

He didn't say it really loud, more mumbling to himself (and possibly Caretaker sitting next to him), everyone can choose for him/herself whether they heard it or not (or roll audio perception if you don't wanna choose)
This does NOT reflect my personal thoughts, by the way, only Rafa's on a grumpy day. Gonna be fun to see you prove your worth, Dragonfly ;)
Welcome to the team! :)

Panther looked at the bodyguard.  They would have to restyle him a bit, he was too much Hollywood.  If they wanted to be inconspicious, he would have to change into something else.  She had a quick look at his commlink.


matrix perception on the new guy's commlink:
matrix perception: computer 4 + analyse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5) =3)
I want firewall, response, system

perception from OOC topic
intuition 4 + perception 3 =7 (7d6.hits(5) =3)

Caretaker stood up.
I think you should calm down Andre... we will take care of this situation ... obviously, but I think you should stop and think if this is the life you want to have...

I can see this stress is taking it's toll on your spirit, you seem to be affraid, fearfull, you haven't had sex in quite a time, nor eaten anything so to speak... is this PeeToo that important for you?

keep that nuyen you wanted to pay me from your pocket ... eat something, take a shower, get laid


There is a strong hint in his tone, that everybody should give up the additional money from this poor P2 slave. He will need them on his new way of happier life.


it's just a force 1 influence spell.
spellcasting(5) + specialization(2) + magic(5) + focus(3) -> 15d6.hits(5)=4
DV: 1, resisted on buying hits.
Resisted with Willpower.

the perception roll during going out: Intuition(4) + Perception(4) + Mentor Spirit(2) + Actively Looking(3) + Visual Enhancement(3) -> 16d6.hits(5)=8




Sorry for a small delay ;)

You'll make a pretty couple Caretaker eeriely winked eye in humor. (the eye is still black form the spell, and there is a white tattoo on the eyelid, winking looked like a small white crawling bug blinked in and out).

That waiting outside the door  and listening to the muted voices to barter over the job had been an unwelcome tension. Every time that sweet female voice would chime in pointing at a possible advantage his blood pressure rose a little. It was SO annoying! It was as if she was stalling, and Ahuechey hated stalling. But at the same time he admired her resilience. If only he had the same resourcefulness and impudence when negotiating his own salary...

Finally, the door opened and he stepped inside... Only to be met by four pairs of distrustful eyes. Oddly enough, it set him at ease. It was only natural to be distrustful, he was staring back at them just the same way. A friendly greeting would be screaming: FALSE!!! at him in a situation like this and would be putting him on edge. He saw the ork mumble something under his breath and regretted immediately not wearing his earbuds.

Ahuechei took a relaxed military posture and after acknowledging Andre with a nod, turned towards the others. His eyes narrowed as the dwarf spoke to Andre, and he forced down  a smile that was threatening to turn the corners of his mouth upwards. Whatever those folks were, the dwarf's advice to Andre was a sound one.

He cleared his throat.

Greetings. I am Ahuechei, he said shortly, with a Spanish accent to his speech.

Thank you for the welcome! Let's have some fun together!

What the hell are you talking about? We are not a charity institution, you know! And some of us really need some money! That's why we are going for trouble - to earn some money! What a stupid idea - to give it away just for some idiotic charity!!! Freya hissed at Caretaker. This idea of giving away money made her irritated. I'm trying to do my best to get them bigger income and this is what I get??? Idiot!!!! Who cares about that P2 moron!

One of you too, Freya said, pointing at Andre and Ahuechei, it would be very useful for a quick result to know more details of the events which happened that "dreadful evening" Ms.Daee got into trouble.

"He only said something about his own money," Panther wispered to Freya, "and what he does with it is his problem, not yours."

Then she turned to the new arrival.
"Buenas noches, o si ya digo buenos días, señor Ahuechei," she said in good, but accented Spanish before switching back to English, "so, besides being a bodyguard, what are you good at?  You know, for tactical purposes we need to know where to put everybody."

Rafa almost spit out his drink trying to contain his laugh at Caretaker' reply to his comment. But there wasn't the tiniest chance he was going to give up the extra money, he still felt they were being cheaped out.
"If you care about this guy getting laid that much, maybe we should leave you two alone?", he whispered to the voodoo man in reply.

He didn't bother trying to hide his doubts about the newcomer, but having grown up in an all-Latino gang, Rafa's doubts were slightly lowered by the bodyguards appearance. So he greeted him in his native language. "¡Hola, amigo."

the bikering and the inner stress between CareTaker and Freya made Andre uncomfortable.

"All I care right now is that you get your job done," he looks at Freya "and i have told you all you should know about that evening. I hope the trust Fermin and miss Pandora is not wasted on you."
with that said Andre went out of the room. on the  way out Andre gives Ahuechei a Hard lood look.

@sent he is not lying, but you get the feeling that he avoids to talk about something, he got a bit fearful when Freya started to iquire about the evening, when the footage was taken.

Yes, you're right, Freya whispered back to Panther, that guy just gets very irritating sometimes...

Ahuechei frowned hearing the heated argument between the members of the group he was being attached to. It looked to hem, there was no apparent leader, and without a strong leader things tended to get chaotic. His only hope was that when it came down to action, or even battle, these four would know their places and what was expected of each and every one of them.

Hearing the sounds of his native language lifted his spirit.

Buenas tardes señorita, es un placer conocerle, bowing slightly, he addressed the beautiful dark-skinned elf who seemed the most welcoming. He couldn't take his eyes off the contrast between her ebony skin and white hair. He had never seen such a combination, and the impression was intensified when one took a longer look at her equally white eyes.

Hola, que tal, his response to the ork was much less formal, mirroring the former ones attitude.

Ahuechei continued addressing the both of them, as the angry lady was apparently too furious with the funny dwarf to expect to turn her attention to him.

I can pilot both ground and air craft, and I have some medical skills, he explained briefly without getting in detail. Come the time, there would be opportunities to elaborate.

Ahuechei caught the glance Andreas gave him, but didn't feel like responding, so he just let it slip.

As Andre left, Freya had already calmed down about Caretaker's magnificent speech and started to think about the new mission. It would be useful to find out what happened that evening and Andre wasn' t willing to tell. But Ahuechei is a bodyguard, he might have heard or seen something. So she turned to him friendly: Hey, welcome on-board! Seems we'll have to work together eventually. And your skills are great, very useful! At least those some you have mentioned. There will be more, I guess. Well, have you heard or seen something connected with Ms.Daee' s case? Andre wasn't very talkative...

Gang knowledge (7d6.hits(5)=3) to see what, if anything, Rafa knows about the A-Kidz Gang or Bacchus. Might be he's heard about 'em.Looking at their P2 profile and history too.

Assume that you give the info to all, if not then state so in the roll, or do you have other prepositions to make legwork faster :)[/spoiler]
Gangs, they come in all shapes and colors, some are better knows some, you will never hear about. A-Kidz and Bacchus you have heard off, your typical Booster gang, rich parents rowdy kids, a lot of cyberware and the attitude only money can make.
a few things come to mind that are not common knowledge, gut your friend has told you what he heard from a friend.
You faintly remember that  Bacchus is the son of an energy baron, who owns the Sunlink power grid bringing power to both San Diego and Los Angeles and that Horizon has been footing the bill for A-kidz part of the payment for their P2.0 reality show, which is called A Gang’s Life.
