If such is the case, you're in the wrong business.

In short, Incipit says, forcing herself to not pay attention to the gun-toting buffoon, what my colleague is getting at is that we would appreciate free access to any and all information even remotely associable with this incident, Ms. O'Carolan or you and your associates, that you would be willing to lend us. We realize, of course, that you and your associates are likely to be in possession of data which you would rather keep a secret, and hence, we fully understand if you cannot give us much of worth.

Moreover, I believe that we would all appreciate a clarification on a few points: First of all, if, during the extraction, Ms. O'Carolan is wounded or worse as a result of our intervention, even given reasonable precautions taken to avoid such an incident, what would the result be? Secondly, is there a chance that Ms. O'Carolan has left of her own free will, and if so, which course of action would you want us to take? Thirdly, are you willing to provide us with compensation for lives, limbs, valuable equipment or similar, lost during an eventual extraction?

Do you have her last used access ID and commcodes?  Also does she have any identifying features like a tattoo or scar?

[SeriousOne338]

Any Cyberware, or bioware she has would make identification easier also the registration numbers would help. Also any secret things like RFID tags she'd have one herself would be useful. Scars, tattoos and facial features can be disguised or changed but cyber and bioware are much harder to change  so they are better to track or confirm target retrieval than some vid image.

The Johnson nods at their questions, consulting a sheet of electronic notepaper in front of him as he reels off the answers in quickfire fashion.

"No known body augmentations. That stands true as of her last medical, eight months ago. The RFID tags are no longer responding; the last trace of them is at a car park in Rowlett. Ms O'Carolan has no known tattoos, but she has three minor scars on her last calf. Her last used ID and commcodes are on this," he holds up a different sheet of electronic paper "and have not been used since her disappearance. This also contains the other information we are willing to divulge publicly on her at this time. It's not a lot, but we believe it should be enough. It contains some of the information you asked for, but has had quite a lot taken out."

The last is said to Steam, and possibly because of that he places it down in front of the dwarf before he responds to the rest of their questions.

"We have no activities inside Garland, but we've found the people there... unfriendly... to corporate presences in general. We're hoping freelancers with no obvious connections might get a better response. As for whether she took anything valuable - we don't know. We are conducting internal investigations.  However, we are treating it as a strong possibility."

"And to answer your questions, Miss - one, if she is wounded but still fit to work then we will accept that accidents happen. If it's worse, then while we accept accidents happen, you will not get the full payment. Second - we expect her returned regardless. If she did leave of her own free will, then she has unlawfully breached the terms of her employment and will be under investigation for possible corporate espionage. And third - No."

[The Big Peat]

Seeing that there were no further questions, the man rises.

"I believe that concludes our business. These are yours," he shoves five credsticks across the table, waiting patiently for them to be validated - which they are, before he holds up another handful "These go to KM. I will see you later. My pleasure."

He leaves quickly, only troubling to have a quick word with the fixer, leaving the crew of Shadowrunners with 2k and a woman hunt.

"Well I guess we have a job to do. Lets get doing."

[Tsuzua]

"I reckon the first order of business is to rustle up some leads.  Let me go digging though the matrix and see what starts running out like a rabbit being chased by a dog."  After finding some quiet time, a digital horned rabbit runs across the open fields of the matrix looking for its target.
  [spoiler=OOC]Next time he can focus, Jackalope is going to data search more information on Monica O'Carolan.  He's particularly looking for her usual haunts and any unusual "side trips" she may have made.  Each pass is 1 minute of search time.
First Pass (15d6.hits(5)=5)
Second Pass (14d6.hits(5)=8)
Third Pass (13d6.hits(5)=4)
Fourth Pass (12d6.hits(5)=2)
Fifth Pass (11d6.hits(5)=5)
Sixth Pass (10d6.hits(5)=5)
That gives him 29 hits which is enough to find "Hidden or Actively Hunted and Erased" data (SR4A 230).

After that, he'll try to Track Monica's last known access ID using the Track program in case it comes up somewhere.  I'm not sure if this is legal.  You can track from an access ID in an access log to where it made that entry in the access log.  You can track any icon you see.  You can detect nodes if they're within signal range or have a rough idea of their location.   But I don't know if you track purely by access ID or can you just do a "where is access ID X?" data request or what.  So it's your call.

"I reckon that's the right idea. Aside from the electronical end of things, which I gather you have under control, we should follow up on the magical end of things and have a chat with those friends and relatives she has in the Garland area.

"Now, based on what y'all have said, I suspect Incipit can do a better job with the magical search than I can, and the other three of us should hit the ground. I figure between the three of us, we can look up her contacts, find 'em, have a word with 'em, and not get shot up by the go-gangers. So what do y'all say?"

[Sichr]

OK. Id like to check out her last known adress. Maybe I can find some leads there...or at least I would have better image of who she is...

[SeriousOne338]

I'd like to look over the last place she was seen.

[Sichr]

...brief scan...Poirot is looking for the last know adress...
Hm...
Steam`s face looks like he just tasted something disgusting
Looks like our emloyer is realy trying to do his best to make her impossible to find the girl. OK. We would have to do it your way, big man, The only another place is her old home, and I think that since she disappeared in the neighborhood, it wont be another long journey to get there. So...anybody got wheels?
Steam looks around with sparkle of hope in his eye...he would really hate to walk around the whole bloody Texas on foot.

[Tsuzua]

After a few minutes, Jackalope enters the conversation.

"If we're looking for leads, I was able to catch some.  Ms. O'Carolan parties like a hog on Saturday.  Her favorite places were Hurlz, O'Mahoney's, and Fabric.  Somebody went though some effort to hide her fun at Hurlz and O'Mahoney's over the past three weeks and well as her bitching about her boss.  We ought to check those places out.  They're both in Garland so we can make a stop there while we check out her folks.  Also I've got pictures of her at those bars for reference."
[spoiler=OOC]Jackalope's got pictures of the "suppressed" pictures of her partying.  He'll send them to anyone who wants them for analysis.[/spoiler] 

[The Big Peat]

You end up following Abdiel's suggestion, which is why a few hours later you're outside a door in Garland. It's a small bungalow, the type that's seen better days but is still keeping a reasonable go of things. You've gotten a feel for the area - once it was nice, but its seriously run down now, and you've seen more than a few gang tags on the way. But now you're here. To talk to Mr and Mrs O'Carolan about their daughter. Once one of you rings the doorbell.

<ooc: Abdiel's here, I'm assuming the rest of you are too>

[UmaroVI]

(en route): "Jackalope, can you take a quick gander on the Matrix about her folks? Would be good to know if there's anything unusual about them before we meet."

(once there): Abdiel steps up and rings the doorbell, putting on his best "friendly social call" face.

[Tsuzua]

(Before we leave) "Don't worry Steam.  You can ride in my truck.  Just mind the drones.  The Lebbie sometimes get ornery this time of the year so I wouldn't lean on her."

(en route) "Sure thing.  It'll be done in three shakes of a behemoth."
