Panther, now that you got a name, can you dig up more on that Schultz? Maybe you could track his P2, so we would know if he is in his appartment or in the club, and if he is within one of those addresses you have. Once that try to get some building plans.
Caramelle can you ask one of your friends if they know anything more on this guy?
Rafa, you ever breaked into heavy security buildings? Do we need anything in terms of equipment? Maglock passkeys, stun, smoke grenades?
Ahuechei, you're from here, you knwo where to get stuff like this real fast?

[Xzylvador]

"I can get around quietly enough and I'll scale every damned wall they put in my way. Maglocks and such though... Let's just say that in the past I've never had to deal with any doors I couldn't kick out of its hinges or open with a miniwelder.", Rafa admitted. "Guess that's not what we're looking to do?
I'm pretty much okay on weapons: got flash, smoke and gas. Technical gizmo's, nope. Got Panther for that, no? She gets the tech stuff, I get to watch her body."

[farothel]

"Already ahead of you," Panther said as she connected to the P2 network to search for the mystery Mr. Schultz.  In a seperate window she opened a regular search on her favourite networks to find out the things he didn't put on his network, using the stuff they already had as a basis for further searches.


His P2 should be easy to find for people also on the network.  If that gives a location update, fine, otherwise, datasearch.

As it was such an early morning, Freya sent a message to Phil: "Hey, honey! Do you know anything about a guy named Steve Schultz. He is from LA, I would be really greatful for any info... You know... With love, F."

>Nice to hear from you, beatiful.
How was the party?

I think I have heard about him, is that the guy who owns a lot garbage housing? I think it is. I would recommend to stay clear of him, he is almost as paranoid as a shadowruner, please take it not personal, and he has a large security detail. I think he has been accused to be part of a blackmailing, but it was never proven. I could ask around, but it's like 5AM in LA right now so I will have nothing before noon.

Have to go, the meeting starts in 5. Here in NY the working day has just started.
Bye, hon, leave me a memo if you need that additional info.< 

[Sentinemodo]

assuming Caremelle was on loud speaker, or shared the info


Allright guys. Seems like we hit the jackpot. If the guy tried blackmail previously, that might be his way of living.
While Panther runs her searches, we might as well move to his club (Derma if I recall correctly).

Ahuechei, you're form here. Go on bike, ride some other way and be there before us. Enter the club separately, so we would have somebody inside.
We need to be there before they close the place for a day.



Xzyl, if there is any kind of stuff you want to buy, do it on the way.

[Xzylvador]

"'kay, 's all good for me.", Rafa replied. He gathered his stuff, simply stepped of the roof and walked towards the car's driver seat.

[Sentinemodo]

Caretaker settled in the back of the car, waiting. Panther, you found anything more on the club? We're not really club style dressed.

[Sparkling Dragonfly]

I can do that, sure. But why the club? I' d place the surveillance equipment in a more... peaceful place. Like an empty apartment. for example. Or do you expect that Schultz guy to be at his club at 4 in the morning? Wouldn't he be fast asleep in his bed, the tape safely deposited in his private safe?

[Caramelle]

Freya sat down on the front seat in the Rover.

"So what do you think of the new guy?" She asked Rafa starting a casual conversation. "does he have point on the club thing?"

[Xzylvador]

Rafa shrugged. "Failed bodyguard hooking up with a buncha runners... could end either way. Ain't seen enough yet to decide. So far, this city seems a bit low on action. Not that I mind a little peace and quiet, so long as it gets me paid.
And who knows about the club, or that Schultz guy? If he owns the place he could be acting like a bigshot in the club, getting girls in bed at the low price of tax-deductible drinks. And the problem about private safes is that private ain't always safe. There's a lot more eyes in a place with lots of people than in an empty apartment..."
Rafa reached into a pocket and reveiled a grenade with a green mark on it.
"Not that it's all that hard to get those eyes out of the building.", he added with a wink. "You did bring a gas mask, right?"

[Sentinemodo]

I can do that, sure. But why the club? I' d place the surveillance equipment in a more... peaceful place. Like an empty apartment. for example. Or do you expect that Schultz guy to be at his club at 4 in the morning? Wouldn't he be fast asleep in his bed, the tape safely deposited in his private safe?

Other building around owned by this guy are similar to this hotel, if there is a routing point it is the club. We don't have the time to check every possible appartment. If it is not that club, we'll go after AKidz' one.

I don't think Schultz will be there, if he is all the better if he isn't and we would like to talk to him, it's pretty easy to call him.
Either way we'll get the material there or close this lead.

...

If you can go there, enter the place, look around and wait for us, then don't hestitate and go if you can't then ride behind us, either way get on your bike and move. They'll be closing the club soon. The tattoos on his head move when he talk, like a white carrion eating maggot crawling. There is a hint of irritation in the voice of the low dwarf. He seems used to be listened to and obeyed.

"Sounds like a plan," Panther said, "Let me check out the club's node."

She opened a window and first went to the public node of the Derma club.  Most clubs had a virtual tour which could learn a lot, at least about the public spaces.  Next she checked out the rest of the club nodes.

It's not hard to find the node of the Derma club. It's a simple node, the sculpting of the node is a neon sign of a woman dancing around a pole, witch is no surprise as it is a strip-club after all. the public node does not give much information only the usual Ad crap, best in everything, public/private rooms so on. other then the public part of the node is protected by a passkey. The node itself is quite capable, the firewall is at R6 and Analyze is at R5.

"Right then, do your matrix stuff while we drive Panther. I'll drive us to the club.", Rafa said and he started the engine of their Rover.
After a minute of driving, Rafa got tired of the silence in the car and decided to liven it up with some light conversation.
 "So... A strip joint.... Here's an good infiltration idea! We guys will act like, well, guys. And you girls act like you're the new strippers! We can stop on our way for some outfits if you want. I'll even help you pick 'em. Trust me girls, I let you dress me up for fancy parties, but this is my area of expertise."
