Omar jumps into fly spy drone, circling around a few time to get Flynns attention. With Flynns AR crashed, Omar can only hoppe that ghoul rookie maintained enought sanity to get the message. After cathcing attention, Omar flies the drone outside the Flynn`s hideout, to the corridor, and waits there untill Flynn follows. If he does, Omar will lead him to the spot under the teahouse.

Meanwhile, he adressess Mouse again:
Kid, we better download any data we are able to find in teahouse network, just in case that connection fails. If we go for the plan with "Ghoul in the basement", Flyn may damage the line during his digging and our connection got sewerred. You aslo better keep those subscription AR, so you don`t get dumped if somehing goes wrong.

Good point with that medical equipement. Seems they keep something or someone submerged in VR, maintaining only lifesupport. Is the delivery adress the same as Teahouse, or is just a payment made by it?

@Dean Costello: Dean. This is your LuCom lawyer. Got a minute?

Fractal listen to Lips report: "And the picture paints itself deeper and deeper. Well, so probably the madam is sick and well protected - even magically protected - on her Geisha school; why have Mayuri not told us that? Strange... Still, if she is not, I don't know, possesed or somehting, I'm fairly certain I can put some sense in her head.

I don't think we should concern ourselves in paying a visit to the guy guarding her, Lips. Even if we would pay her a visit, it will be with no intention of harming her, and only with her own permission. Otherwise, or chances of convincing her to free Mayuri would be few and dim.

So we now have two ways: blackmailing Yoshiro, or fast-talk Kikuya. I would have more fun talking to Kikuya, but I know how to tell work time and fun time... Also, we would have fewer restraints bossing Yoshiro around, and in blackmail there's always the chance that we can mild him for a little more than just Mayuri's freedom."

@Omar: When Mr. Flynn gets close to the tea house let me know. I'll stay in the node and monitor the feeds until then; I am already recording those channels in the tea house. My personal thought is that the lover is one of the body guards. Yakuza, low level, and always at the tea house, and a basement with no surveilence for privacy. I've been looking to see if I can find out who, but am having no luck. [pause]Maybe I need to talk with Mr. Fractal about girls--he's making headway with Ms. Tabby and she seems to be a wildcat. Either that or she's just using him so that he will be easier to manipulate while lovesick. Some cats do like to toy with their prey.

Well, Jack, I cannot say Im not surprised how often do cops around here get into this kind of troubles...on the other side, where I came from, there were no cops, so I lack comparation. Nice that you are so eager to help, and no, I dont want you to do anything...undesired..as you`ve put it. So, I bet your medevac team will be better if the know where to pick him up. Since I am in touch with the guy, Ill be able to guide him to randez vous point in cca 10 minutes. I know a few escape routes, from tunnels, let me see...
[consulting mapsoft]
OK there is some kind of access on this coordinates [GPS Tea house]
It is forgotten drainage pipe or something like that...probably leads to some building above...From what I saw it won`t be difficult to make it accessible. And Jack...here is your reservation.

Where is it? .... good, at least that's no corporate zone... hold on a sec .... that's Yakuza territory, and it's the Yoshiro zone .... what is it about Mr. Gibo?

Attracting his attention wasn't difficult, but it took a while before he got up. Is it you Orc? ... I was to stay here ... should I go after the drone? ... eventually he went after the drone.

Lawyer? Like hell ... what's up?

@Diamond: Detective, arent you? I got nothing to hide. I found that pipe when I was investigating that teahouse because of their connection to local Yaks...namely that Yoshiro I was asking about. I gues it would be better for my business to leave them alone, well, I gave tmy word to Flynn and I think this is the safest way out for him...he is still able to talk but I dont know what he would do if he gets near some people who live down there...or what would those pepople do to him...so nice isolated drainage pipe seemed to be good place to pick him up. And as we are talking, Im guiding him there...well it seems he is in pretty bad shape so it may take a bit longer than those ten minutes I was guessing at the first time. Of course...if you have any better idea, Ill be able to guide him wherever you ask me to...

@Dean: Good to hear you, Dean. I have an information I want to share with you. You can get it quite cheap, I only need your professional assessment...and maybe some further intel you are able dig up on this...I`m sniffing around local Yaks, and I found a place, teahouse, and its owner, name Kikuya, spending fortune for matrix and medical equipement...well that leads me to my question...you heard anything about Yaks, Yoshiro gang, showing some significant matrix activity recently? It may as well be some sick relative in vegetative state spending remaining time in some VR paradise, well life made me a bit paranoid about this combination of gear...

The closest way the surface, or the closest way for the KE evac team to get Flynn is the exit you've used, not the one under teahouse.
some rolls behind the curtain ....

All right Mr. Gibo, I really do hope, that Mr. McDowall will be at your designated location, and that he will confirm your story, I am sending the evac team.

Sorry to not be of any help, but neither Kikuya nor Yoshiro rings any bells and neither did I hear anything about Yakuza activity in matrix lately. I can ask around but we're focused on quite the other side of Denver lately, so I wouldn't hope high.

@Mac: thank you my friend. at the present time I don't need your services, you are free to go. as Mouse releases the Machine Sprite he had compiled from Dobbey.

Summon
Data Sprite R4 (Japanese)
Mouse Compile(4)+Resonance(5)+TM(2)-4Sustaining=7d6.hits(5)=5
Sprite Resist(4)=4d6.hits(5)=0--No glitch.
No fading...cool
5 services remaining.

@Data: hello Data, I need you to perform some tasks for me...I need you to do some queries for me on:
-Shijeo Iijima, a Yakuza small-fry in Denver area
-medical records/purchasing history of the tea house <<ARO: info on the medical equipment purchased from the Madam's query>> Top queries are who's sick and with what illness
-the fill in the blank information for the formalized "dossier" for Mr Fractal.
-finally on these two Yakuza goons <<ARO: pics of both goons>>. You may need some hacking assistance on the medical records and purchases so let me know
When Data had left, Mouse turned his attention back to the feeds in the tea house and formalizing the dossier to blackmail the Yakuza Lt.

Less then ten minutes after the call car guards run toward the house, while others jumpstarted the engines. Two minutes later only one of the limos was still on the parking while other were carrying out VIPs out of the teahouse vicinity. Three minutes later armed medics team of Knight Errants arrived at the teahouse doors, backed up by the squad of armed response team riding an Ares CityMaster. They had no problems with entering the house and Yakuza guards mindfully given no resistance... Watching the scene with the teahouse hacked cameras you see the Knights storm the building, questioning for the basement and after securing the corridor, descended there.

Flynn was in place since two or three minutes wondering what in hell the littly drone tried to force him to by repeatedly flying up and down  the shaft, when the the rocks started to drop down followed by "don't move"'s, "police" and an armed trooper in full armor grapelling down. Flynn started to run, but made only few steps, before a double salvo of paralyzing darts hit him in the back. Afterwards he was treated with few doses of various drugs and quickly contained in the hazmat bag. The bag was later on covered by a blanked and carried out of the building. Within two minutes from their appearance, the medic team left the area leaving the troopers filling out protocol. From what you've heard over the microphones, the Knight Errants, were assessing the damages made because of an police officer recovery actions. Based on the protocol, teahouse owner will be able to recover it's losses or if found unsatisfactory demand higher reimbursement via the appropriate governement procedures.

Hey Guys!!! Something`s going on at the teahouse....
Ah...seems like Flynn finaly got his Medevac...
hmm....

Now with this video feed with KE rescue squad taking ghoul under the TeaHouse basement...it may be much easier to prove how "safe" this place is...

I wonder whats the word on the street that just happened there too bad Sam is unavailable at this moment...

[Sichr]

Otherwise...I only imagine if this kind of distraction changes the situation for us somehow...opening some ways that had been previously blocked...
Those rigid and traditional Japs dont seem to respond well to changes...and this kind of interferrence with their business may lead them to some unexpected moves...


@Jack: You see? No tricks. And I kept my promise to Flynn. I only hope that "retirement" program does exist and  things end up good...at least for Dianna and the kid.

[snake_eyes]

Mouse ensures the feed from Wiz is safely recorded.
@Omar: hey Unca Omar. Now may be a good time to see what's in the cellar as there are no cameras down there. We may also want to get the micro tapper drone out of there and the data cable. It won't take them long before they start checking out the tunnel.

[Sichr]

True. And we got your flyspy down there and the tunnel cleared. Im onto it. Pull back that microbug, would you? Or you want to do the recon? Your drone, Your call

Fractal ponders while wathcing the drone's feed, but he does not join Omar in his enthusiasm: "Hm... It does not sound that good to me. Okay, we can now intimidate Kikuya in complying with our desires, but this is not a subtlety job - as Tabby wanted - nor good form with the Aikiwa house - as Mayuri wanted it.  I feel like we went the easy way and lost some points from the game...

What do you think of this? Is the plan to go to Madam Kikuya and insinuate we can bring the whole house down if we wanted, or what?"
