>>>>>[ Okay. I got the van, courtesy of Ysoni. He'll be coming with us as he's been born and bred in Tarislar. We'll go pick up the suppies and then swing back to pick you up. Give us an hour...two at most. It'll all depend on how much...goodwill...I can inspire from my...suppliers.

Ysoni, I think we should bring Fenris. he's worth his weight in Orichalcum for intimidation value...

Mmm...I'll have to look into Deireadh...]<<<<<

>>>>>[Meet me at the hospital. If you're bringing Ysoni, then between the two of us you shouldn't have any problems while you're in Ancients territory. I'm heading over there now to talk with the Ancients, and make sure you don't get hassled going to or from. Shouldn't be too hard, since you'll be bringing supplies to the hospital. The Ancients and the Laesa protect the area (though the Knights are there for a veneer of legitimate policing). Keeping the only hospital in the area well stocked with meds ups their rep in the community, and having good relations with qualified runners in other parts of the sprawl gives them options when it comes to dealing with other groups. Say the Ancients and the Cutters aren't on the best of terms, but the Cutters just got a shipment of BTLs that the Ancients would like to have, and are willing to trade some Laes for it. They can't deal directly without losing face, so they bring in a runner to act as middleman. This way, both sides get to do biz, without losing face, and setting off a gang war, while you get your cut from both ends.

So getting through Ancients territory won't be a problem. Can't say the same for the gangs elsewhere in the sprawl, though.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Oh well, looks like they found their scanner by themselves. Still, all of this gave me an idea and I may be in need of medical equipment and some meds. If your offer still stands, Chrona, I'd like to meet them. Beside one or two Street Docs and a DocWagon Shaman, of which we had a thing going on for a few days(and Oh my! she was wild even by my standards), my contacts in medical fields are pretty lacking.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Whenever you move to a new sprawl, first thing you should do, after making nice with whichever gang or syndicate claims the area your safehouse is at is to visit the local hospital and see if there aren't any favors you can do for them. Getting on the good side of hospital staff, either by helping facilitate supply deliveries or other favors will mean that if you get a suspicious case of lead poisoning, blunt force trauma, or other injuries that might make for an uncomfortable Q&A session with the local LEOs, then you can still go to a fully functioning hospital, instead of a street doc, without them reporting you. Don't get me wrong, there are some excellent street docs out there, but if you are laid up afterwards, being in the hospital is easier on your cover story than being stuck at a street doc's clinic in the Barrens.]<<<<<

>>>>>[A friend of mine told me about a friend of his who suddenly vanished from one of those "Clinics". I'll stick to dropout med students and not ghoul handout agencies. Call me racist, but I don't trust them.]<<<<<

More likely your "friend of a friend" was abducted for other reasons or taken by uninfected while he was in his weakened state Instead, you blame us cos of a fragging dietary requirement we didn't ask for.]<<<<<
