Over the comm " Sweet jezuz what kinda voodoo juju we stumble on mon" Marak shifts uneasily form one foot to another. Still scanning the bar

[Thvor]

"Easy there, big guy," Hank murmurs into his comm, hiding the motion of his lips by pretending to take a drink. "Teddy told us already that this was ugly. So far, this guy hasn't told us anything we didn't already guess at. And it sounds like that may be all he's got...not worth our time or money coming here. Rybka--what's your read on him? Does he have anything else for us?"

[Marak1972]

"Right mon. I've seen dis ol vid called uh Resident Evil  a friend showed me. I like what brains I have mon right where dey are eh" Marak chuckles to himself. Thinking well dis is what dat creek dey be talkin about. But we still have our paddles eh. As he scans the room
Perception with visual specialsation 8d6.hits(5) → [2,6,1,2,3,2,2,6] = (2) 

[Netzgeist]

Rybka spends the entire conversation analysing the guy's behavior, seeing if by any chance is not keeping any information he may have just to himself.

5 (Charisma) + 4 (Intuition) + 6 (Empathy Software) + 3 (Kinesics) = 18 dice = 5 hits, no glitch

The wizard leans back and takes a pull from his beer.  The group notices that the loft has been vacated of patrons, when the book was brought out.

Right remember that all electornics are glitching baddy so using the software is goping to glitch (in the future), as for right now you do notice that he knows much more than he's telling

[Marak1972]

"uh ppl have cleared out right quick mon. We are alone up here eh. Sometimg be happening maybe eh" Marak becomes a coiled spring waiting for that other shoe to fall.

[Netzgeist]

Sorry, forgot about that for a moment... So, is commlink communication working at all? It seems so, since Hank spoke subvovally with Marak...

Rybka leans against a table, cross an arm in front of her belly and uses it's hand as a platform for her other arm, which holds her neck. One fingertip taps lightly on her face, as if she is pondering. Her eyes are fixed on the Duster clad mage, and her face shows a lack of approval.

"Mr. Alestor, let me make something clear here. Me and my team, we are not here fooling around with an evil book. We are a team of professional, as I'm sure you have noticed by the diverse bunch which presented themselves to you right now. As we are not understimating your arcane knowledge, you should not understimate our skills. I'm not understimating your knowledge... In fact, I can see as clear as water that you know quite a lot more than you shared so far. I ask you again: do not understimate our skills; you're not a bad liar, but until now no pokerface has fooled me. Why don't you enlighten us on why you choose to keep some data to himself, and what the information is?"

Rybka's tone is somewhat playful, but that just adds to the seriousness of her analysis. She is not playing, and the message should be already clear by now.

5 (Charisma) + 4 (Intimidation) + 3 (Kinesics) + 2 (First Impression) = 14 dice = 3 hits, no glitch
I'm not adding bonuses from Empathy software anymore, since they shouldn't really be working here.

[Marak1972]

Oh ya faggin gremlins ...Marak thinks He utters "Hmmmm we be all by our lonesome mon" as he casually shifts looking at the team and back to keeping watch

[SeriousOne338]

Sighs”Well if you want to be that way about it. The professional version is burn it. As for the book the Blood is the first of three book written by this guy Kemmler” he holds up the book and points at the author's name “ the blood was his first, the Blood was the second, and the Mind. There is rumours of a  fourth book ‘the Word’ so as for what's in them, methods of doing bad things with souls/zombies you know Necro stuff. As for your author he was a crazy man, similar to Rasputin, but he kept himself quite. The rumor was kemmler could do things but that was before the whole mana storm thing so if he was some wizard who knows. Other info is sketchy like everything about him is he found the recipe for immortality. But if that was true he’d rule the world. And thats what I know of the man, as for who wants this kind of book don’t know unless you got details about them.”

[Netzgeist]

"Your cooperation has been noted, Alestor. I, in the name of the whole team, thank you for that." Rybka tone has changed, and she is now a much nicer person. "Do you, by any chance, know if Kemmler's books were meant to be read consecutively, or each is a separate piece on their own? What I ask is, if The Blood is destroyed, will the others now be incomprehensible and incomplete information, or would they still carry their dark knowledge on their own right?"

[SeriousOne338]

"I'm not sure on that one having never read all the books. I think each is meant for a different level of learning like schools this is first grade I bet the second is like middle school learning. If you want to know more you read the thing but I'm not going much further into this stuff."

[Crossbow]

"Thank you Alestor, you just added a zero to your pay by being straight with us.  We have some plans to make so we'll let you get back to your book.  You're drinking on me tonight, so feel free to hang around."  Smiley gets up and takes his leave, beaming 1100 nuyen to the contact.

After making appropriate goodbyes to Cheri (ooc question to GM: 10% for the meeting?) he will contact Tachi as soon as he can do so clearly about hooking up with them and making sure the investigator doesn't leave too fast.

[Marak1972]

Walking out beside Smiley MArak asks quietly. "Does that mean we be runnin into ghoulies and such mon?? Dis guy be on de nutters side eh" Continually scanning the area as they leave.

[Crossbow]

"He deals in some pretty crazy stuff, but he seems to be okay.  The big question is what are we going to do with the info?  Do you really want to just hand the book to Johnson?" Smiley asks the big guy as they make their way out.

[Marak1972]

"Uh not really like he said . He's a whacky doodle dat either wants zombies or Immortality. And either way my momma didn't raise no fool. Looks like we are playin keep away with books with dis guy no? " Marak sighs " But its what we all decide ...right mon??" "Dis be big mon. Mindblowingly big" Marak nods to himself as they walk out .
