The commlink node was just as blankly modern as the apartment owned by Shira. White walls adorned with fantastic artwork, some stationary, others streaming glowing flecks of light into the room. The lights seemed dim but comfortable, and the available furniture was all white and oversized. As you settle comfortably into the node, shimmering patterns emerge into access controls for just about everything in the apartment.
While Fang settled into cyberspace, Devil and Winters make for the streets outside. Rain poured off the overhang above Shira's door and as the duo made their way to the car, drops pelted their hoods and threatened to seep through their protective layers. Shaking off and getting into the car takes only a moment and they are off into the overflowing streets once again. City streets seem empty, squatters hide in the porches of abandoned buildings, or hurry between them. Even the rats seem to have disappeared. As Winters makes the first turn, he fleetingly notices a thin man dressed in all white standing on the corner, he can't tell exactly where he is looking because his deep hood hides his face, but he feels like he is looking at Winters and Devil. Though, when he looks back, no one is there.
The drive to Hermes is uneventful, and as you pull to a stop under the delivery company's neon sign, you take a look around. The layout is pretty standard, a fenced lot holds a few vans and two larger trucks. A garage bay door is open and inside you can see messengers milling about trying to avoid getting the next job to deliver something by motorcycle, or worse, bicycle. There is a single story office building attached to the garage with an Open sign flashing above glass doors.
