The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 17

<DeathStar> 4.30.5990 CE
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finally finishes in the main first floor to get a Screen set up, having secured one at some point before they left and having had Barry get it hooked up while they were gone. And them oment they returned, to ease her stomach began getting it into the middle and Top Sector Systems. Once hooked up into their Entertain Systems, the screen begins to play the news
<DeathStar> 6* The screen begins to play the story about how the list of names for the Aquarius crew are being narrowed down as the final trials are being finalized. Asarar steps back, putting her gloved hands back on and moves upstairs to check her programs
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You can flip the channels whenever people down here want.
<Seraphna> * Luci tilts her head. "Aquarius huh?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "News to me."
<AquaKoala> Otto> A ship to go to the old Alpha quadrant.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Seems interesting.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Exploration huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rides up to the top floor and checks to see if the computer found the location of the Tech Runner while they were gone
<DeathStar> <Barry> Hm. being down here I am not surprised most do not know about it.
<Seraphna> Luci> I haven't been going to the middle district much of late myself.
<DeathStar> <Barry> But with us being able to watch the Entertainment Systems' Networks, we can at least keep ourselves appraised. And draw in business to watch the Screen.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Maybe watch some boxing matches or something.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Nue Fashion shows?"
<AquaKoala> *Otto sits and watches the news
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "I'm going to go find something else to do." *heads upstairs*
<DeathStar> 6* The news station talks about the latest trade in the sector and discusses some upheavel in the Crytok Empire that space travelers are news wise
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps the comm. "Everyone come upstairs. I have a lead."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max gets up and heads for the elevator
<AquaKoala> *Otto heads for the lift
<kalonZombie> <Max> <Good. I was going insane.>
<Seraphna> Luci> "Welp, TV time later." *she hops up and follows Max* <Oh?>
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva is likely first to arrive, having not gone down and been close by. She's spent a lot more time in her room tinkering since they got back.
<kalonZombie> <Max> <Imagine half of everything you earned went to the one person who never ever gave up on you. Now imagine some asshole took a huge chunk of it for themselves"
<kalonZombie> >
<Seraphna> Luci> <Well true, but Asarar will get it back.>
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar seems quiet, still a little shakey, patting Ylva who they had to pry out of Gwen's hands. Gwen having tried to carry Ylva off in their flying carriage and only relented when Neekito got in her arms
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *walks into the computer room*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Still no sign of Wolfe or Bonnie. Wonder where those two are.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max steps in with Luci
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Maybe Wolfe finally snapped and kidnapped her."
<AquaKoala> Otto> I think Wolfe has something he wanted to investigate.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Maybe she promised him a biscuit if he ran away with her
<Seraphna> * Luci smiles and rolls her eyes, gently patting Max's arm and taking a seat.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think I will believe Otto's theory... 6* She frowns
<kalonZombie> 6*Max sits next to her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Unless Bonnie never turns up and Wolfe does
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "As long as Wolfe remembers the last time he went playing cop on his own..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Hmm..."
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva watches those entering and finds a quiet corner to herself, continuing to tinker with a set of goggles on, ears flicking as she listens.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, the Tech-Runner who took your money is named Hood, whatever that means.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I managed to locate where he is at.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Where's he hiding?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Quad 6, middle sector. Apparantly he's using the money to fund an asian compound. I can't hack into the floor plans unless I'm closer due to his skills. But he's buying a lot of fauna, and mods for biotect. He buys up Mark 8's and older models
<Seraphna> Luci> "On stolen funds... quite the investment choice."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He's set up himself up as an up and coming business man and deals with Net-Ron and Bio-Tech
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar meets eyes with Kira, having found something else it seems
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "What?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Mmm?"
<kalonZombie> <Max> Using my sister's money... hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> .... this is personal and unrelated to the Runner
<Seraphna> Luci> "Should we clear the room?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah. Go get ready to go out
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and hops up, stretching a bit. "Oh yeah... need to talk about acquiring some special fabric later, Asarar."
<kalonZombie> <Max> <I'mma kick his ass. I'mma kick his ass so hard he won't sit for a month.> 6*He gets up and starts heading for his room
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *hands Otto funds* You guys go ahead. See about securing a safe house near his complex
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll have sent the compound's address to your readers
<AquaKoala> *Otto nods and rises
<Seraphna> Luci> <Take it easy.> *she nods and moves to go*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We might need to watch it and decide how best to enter it
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva lifts her goggles, peering at Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Once everyone but Ylva is gone, Asarar looks looks at Kira
<AquaKoala> Otto> I'll look for something with a sight line if I can
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Tiger's making an interesting play for you. One I don't really understand much about
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...what is it this time?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She's putting out feelers for your "True name".
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Since I can't really remember my name, since I gave myself a name, I can't say I even know what a true name is
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But what I've read it seems that you should never give it out - it's your spiritual name
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Ok, that sounds like that Geyze stuff."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Apparantly Kumenites have it too. I read cases of some masters forcing Fauna to reveal it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> How, I do not know
<kalonZombie> <Max> <I won't hurt him. ... Much. Promise.>
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Yes, I heard from the Geyzeans.
* SeraLappy has joined #Duality
<kalonZombie> <Max> <I'll be as good as I can be for the guy who stole money from my sister.>
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> It is a name of your soul, and with it one gains dominion over your very being. They could control you, essentially.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Well, I don't know a thing about that stuff."
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Whether you believe in it or not, it is something that exists, they say, and it is something you should keep closer than your very life.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, that's good, since no one can force it out of you. But if someone does know your true name, they might can reveal it.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She might use a spell
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar frowns, musing. Probably thinking the only people who could know it would be Kira's parents, who are dead
<SeraLappy> Luci> <Good. Don't want you dealing with trouble worse than he gave you. We'll get it back."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> There are no Kumen spirits, so they can't be forced to talk. I really don't see how Tiger can get at it
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "A spell... ok. Look, Tiger is a glorified madam. She's not magic."
* Luci has joined #Duality
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Kira does not even seem to know her own. So I find it doubtful that she could have told anyone. Perhaps it is a baseless bluff or act of desperation.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises. "Well, if you don't think she would pay someone to cast such, then her search is not a problem. Likely it is just a fancy then."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I just read it and the true name thing pulled up alarms
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar begins to gear up
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *just shakes her head and moves to gear up*
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 378 seconds)
* SeraLappy has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 202 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sooner or later though Tiger will find something to win
<DeathStar> *She murmurs*
<DeathStar> -JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Otto manages to find a nice little Asian style building, with two bedrooms and a nice outdoor garden despite it being surrounded by the building they bought. A courtyard more or less
<DeathStar> 6* The garden though more or less grows nothing but synthetic stuff now
<AquaKoala> *Otto looks it over
<DeathStar> 6* The compound of their target is large, like something out of an old Asian home, with a 15 foot wall, and multipe buildings inside styled like their own. Being in the middle district, there is plenty of sunlight and people move around happily
<DeathStar> 6* The air is fresher here and people wear kimonos and talk casually. Asarar arrives and steps in, looking out of place in her typical wear
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's less cramped here compared to Quad 6's slums
<kalonZombie> 6*Max paces inside, getting restless
* Seraphna has joined #Duality
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> It is kind of nice.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *slips off her shades and looks around* "...nice place. Wish I had been up here when I was a kid."
<Seraphna> Luci> "A few throw pillows and we've got a nice place."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps into the back
<DeathStar> 6* Then returns in a kimono robe
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'd joke about curtains but they already have them I htink
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Should I do that..?
<DeathStar> 6* A few people in suits step up to the gate and ring the bell, and a camera appears to scan them, and the gate rises, revealing a beautiful garden, with real plants in it, and fauna inside doing chores and wearing fine silk. The gate takes 10 seconds to rise and 5 to close
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *peers out with Otto's devices* Hm
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A camera. High tech, but I can get into it
<kalonZombie> <Max> Alright.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But it also serves as a scanning device
<AquaKoala> *Otto has installed all the equipment the need
<AquaKoala> Otto> I can deal with the scanner
<Seraphna> Luci> 15 seconds to open and close... a few seconds off that for when it's too low to get through.
<AquaKoala> Otto> Just get me one of the people that are approved
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...that place reminds me of the Black Lotus leader houses."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It looks like they were low level people from one of the two corporations I mentioned.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar waits, and an hour later the gate rises and the men leave. She peers out. Their devices pick up listening devices on one of them, barely detectable. The runner, hood, must be good. Asarar squints
<AquaKoala> Otto> Anybody who can go in will work, but I'll need a day if you want it perfect.
<Seraphna> Luci> With all this you'd wonder why he has to bother stealing.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Probably spent it on setting up the front."
<AquaKoala> Otto> I looked it up actually.
<AquaKoala> Otto> He's emulating Robin Hood, something out of human folklore. He must think he's robbing the rich to give to the poor
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It looks like he puts listening devices on his guests. If he was dealing fairly with them he wouldn't need to do that
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks at Otto, then muses
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Robin Hood
<AquaKoala> Otto> Or at least that's what his name implies
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'll give him something...
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Max is not rich...
<Seraphna> Luci> "If that's true... I wonder if he can be appealed to. He probably doesn't know he stole from Slums people."
<kalonZombie> <Max> That... sounded less stupid in my head.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "And it looks more like he's giving to himself."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Those guests will not come back for a while, lets wait and let me get more readings, see if I can get a layout
<DeathStar> <Asarar> After how many years Max put into that account, it had to look rich
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back and works on her stuff
<kalonZombie> <Max> No Ylva, but the account I was depositing money for my sister into being untouched for years made me look rich.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I would not buy that story.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Someone good enough to get into it could easily look at the logs and see that it was only deposited and not withdrawn from frequently, therefore an obvious "savings."
<kalonZombie> <Max> Well he's going to give Helen's money back one way or another.
<Seraphna> Luci> "They'd still assume it was middle class."
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Meaning he is either not as noble as one would think, or surprisingly idiotic.
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'd put money on both.
<Seraphna> * LUci shrugs and sits back, keeping a look out.
<DeathStar> 6* As night falls, Asarar has sketched out three major buildings in the compound, and a tight security parimeter.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Well, he did rob you. So he is at least not as idiotic as--" 6She pauses awkwardly, then goes back to her datareader.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I sense no Net setup
<kalonZombie> <Max> Not as idiotic as who?
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Might do his access from outside terminals. No Net inside means no rival Netrunners cna do what we are planning to do."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers up, and prods Otto. Out the window, a squad of 12 men in all black move for the compound, carrying coporate level blasters
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes them, raising an eyebrow
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe we're not the only people he's pissed off."
<DeathStar> 6* They stop outside the range of the camera and one kneels, dealing with the camera and the scanner with the Runner tech, and the others move up and slap something to the gate to override
<AquaKoala> Otto> My guess is a raid or a transfer of some kind
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Looks like his device might not have been as fool proof as he thought
<Seraphna> Luci> "Raid, they're breaking in."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shifts to the tile roof
<kalonZombie> <Max> Let's beat them to it.
<AquaKoala> *Otto nods, looking to see if all of them nove in
<kalonZombie> <Max> I don't need corporate stooges taking my sister's money. Harder to get back that way
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Bad idea. If they are Corporate heavies, then we will die."
<AquaKoala> (move)
<Seraphna> Luci> "Let the dust settle then move in and pick off the one left standing. Though..."
<DeathStar> 6* The gate rises and they begin to move in, leaving 3 outside the gate to see if any leave. They move like a highy trained parimilitary group
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar remains on the roof out of hearing range
<AquaKoala> Otto> Definitely out runners for a corp, or in house black ops.
<AquaKoala> Otto> Either way bad news
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...yeah, these guys are professionals. LEaving a kill crew outside for runners."
<AquaKoala> Otto> Figure he robbed the wrong account, but with this amount he might of created something they want
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves for the roof where asarar is*
<Seraphna> * Luci shrugs and heads to the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, there is a bright light and frying sounds, flashes, and a house exploding. Asarar peers out, her kimono shifting a bit in the wind of a true breeze
<DeathStar> 6* The three parimilitary blink and two shift in, ordering the last remaining to wait, who taps their datareader to talk
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves for the roof
<AquaKoala> *Otto climbs up and takes his rifle out
<Seraphna> Luci> *quietly* They weren't expecting something.
<DeathStar> 6* They keep trying to get through, then frown and move off to get out of range of something.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A building is on fire, blown up. 6* She points at the main complex
<Seraphna> * Luci nods. "And the door guards are splitting up."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It'll draw attention soon. 6* The flames growing.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around at the other compounds and buildings in the area, lights sure to come on soon after that
<AquaKoala> Otto> Destroying his research maybe? Or he was expecting visitors and laid a trap
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Hood set up a trap. Those guys didn't expect this, otherwise they wouldn't have pulled two of them inside. Actually a good thing we didn't make a move yet. We could have been walking into a meat grinder."
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva rubs her hands nervously.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar waits, then makes a signal
<AquaKoala> *Otto watches for people or card leaving
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll go in. Wait here
<AquaKoala> (Cars)
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leaps down and moves to the gate, and cranes her head in, the blaze giving lighting
<Seraphna> * LUci frowns, watching.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...that is totally not reassuring..."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max kicks the floor but stays behind
<DeathStar> 6* Since the middle district has no stars still, despite a sky, it's still rather dark at night. She looks in and spots a ton of fauna and biotect and aurit talking and motioning, at each other, before moving to gather things. She holds up her hands to signal around 30 people
<DeathStar> 6* Pointing at them going underground
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves back. "There has to be something like the slums here if they are going into the ground
<DeathStar> 6* She pulls up maps of the quad on her datareader, flipping
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Guy has a bolthole. Not dumb at all."
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Perhaps we should... relocate, Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Then blinks - this particular compound is built right next to a pillar by 15 feet
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks around. Sure enough the slums' underground pillar entrance is a building that looks unobtrusive. There are no guards tonight due to the operation no doubt
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Possibility - he has a way to the pillar from his house
<kalonZombie> <Max> Convienint.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "No, smart."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves to the building
<Seraphna> Luci> "It would be a nice time to follow, catch him while he thinks he's getting away. Though we don't want to tip the big guns as to what we know."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Come on, lets gety away before the corporation shows. She eyes the fence and breaks the lock on it. Any slummers who come up are usually met by guards who check them out and a scanner like with the trains when they go to new quads/between zones. She eyes it disabled right now
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves after Asarar*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max follows Asarar
<AquaKoala> *Otto follows
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva follows her, donning her cloak and hood from Wolfe.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar tugs on the stone door and tries to open it. Despite it being unlocked, it doesn't give since rarely people move up the pillar stairs due to the sheer length
<DeathStar> 6* With buildings being 80 stories, and the pillars still b eing higher, it's quite the job
<DeathStar> *jog
<AquaKoala> *Otto looks at Max
<Seraphna> * Luci follow Max, she peers around still, on the watch for trouble.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *points at Max and then to the stone door*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves over and opens the door for her
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods and steps in. The pillar stairs look in rough shape and there is chips in the special stone alloy used to hold up the metal plate. The pillar alloy is made up of metal too, nly the stairs seem to be stone
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves down it, eyeing chunks of the chairs missing at times. To discourage people. She hurries down and hears voices below, tons of female voices talking in hushed tons about what they will do and to believe in Hood.
<AquaKoala> *Otto follows, his rifle colapsed back into his breifcase
<kalonZombie> 6*Max narrows his eyes at the beliefs in Hood
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *heads down the stairs, whisper quiet*
<Seraphna> * LUci moves quietly with the rest, adjustig her jumpsuit a little. <Easy. For the most part he's doing people a service. I really think this is a misunderstanding we can fix.>
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar twirls along the trailing to move faster, her kimono flapping up to show her goods at times, but moving too fast for it to be more than a tease. She soon kneels, eyeing the 30 or so various Biotect, Fauna, and Aurit ahead a few floors. The Biotect range from Mark VI to VIII. And the Aurit and Fauna help them along. Hood waves them, carrying the heavy stuff
<DeathStar> <Hood> It'll be okay, girls. We'll get to a new location soon and we'll find a way to buy more of your brethern soon
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva blinks, then grabs the sash and takes Asarar's kimono, draping her cloak on her instead, then takes her cap off and wiggles her ears before sliding down the staircase banister, using her Kinetic Kitten to silently catch up and blend into the Aurit/Fauna.
<AquaKoala> *Otto follows Ylva, growing ears
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods approvingly, hanging back a little again and moving slower now that she is in range to hear abit
<kalonZombie> 6*Max stays behind too, despite wanting to have words with Hood
<Seraphna> * Luci hangs back as well, curious now. <He's... doing what we started to do? Freeing enslaved people?>
<DeathStar> 6* Hood helps the smaller ones up when they trip and leads them down to the bottom, where they all look tired. He pushes at the door and gets it open, the bottom door easier and looks around
<kalonZombie> <Max> <I'm listening, Luci, don't worry. But if he can't be reasoned with...>
<DeathStar> 6* Then waves the girls along, including Ylva. Then pushes at the door to close it once all the cat girls are through
<DeathStar> 6* He moves around the alley, leading them toward his next location
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pushes against the stone door after counting to 30
<Seraphna> * Luci peers back the way they came in case they're being followed.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva takes in the surroundings and makes sure she's on top of her trapsense in Cautionary Cat.
<AquaKoala> *Otto blends, his current face being naturally forgetable
<DeathStar> 6* soon Hood leads them to a run down but clean hideout and sets up his hacking computers once more; the girls set up their beds and squeaky hug toys
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at the new hideout
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No cameras or tech set up yet
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But 30 devoted girls could still overpower us.
<Seraphna> Luci> "It's a good time to move. I still say we should be able to do this peaceful."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "So try just talking it out. Hell, seems like it may be going to a good cause anyway. Still wodnering about the whole fancy compound upside though."
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes all of this and walks over to Hood
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva eyes Otto, but takes a hint from mimicing the other Fauna and sets up a bed.
<AquaKoala> Otto> May I speak with you Hood.
<DeathStar> 6* Hood turns, and turns, then narrows his eyes a little, hand under his desk. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets try it
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar motions after MAx
<kalonZombie> 6*Max nods, moving slowly, keeping his hands at his side, since his weapons are on his back
<DeathStar> 6* Hood peers as the door opens and Max enters, then back at Otto
<Seraphna> * Luci walks with him.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks in slowly. The girls rise to defend Hood
<kalonZombie> <Max> Hood, I want to talk to you. No violence.
<AquaKoala> Otto> You acquired of friend of mines money for his sister, I belive you will agree is was something of a mistake.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *walks along too, wearing her sunglasses again*
<kalonZombie> <Max> If you want I will give my weapons to your girls.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva moves forward and gestures for them.
<AquaKoala> Otto> This is him.
<DeathStar> <Hood> *peers at Ylva, studying her hard* Hm. *then back at Otto and Max* Who are you people
<DeathStar> 6* He keeps his hand under his desk, studying them.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Just some runners.
<AquaKoala> *Otto sets his breifcase down and pulls out all of the tracking numbers and information for the accounts, holding him out to Hood
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> The weapons.
<kalonZombie> <Max> You stole money from my sister's account. She hadn't used it in years, so I don't even know how much was in there.
<Nyaomi> 6She gestures again.
<AquaKoala> Otto> People who have been doing similar business as you.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Hood hasn't said I had to turn them over.
<DeathStar> 6* Hood takes it with non-hand under the table, eyeing it. "Ah that money. It's already spent."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max growls "...What?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "On freeing some of these girls, I suspect?"
<DeathStar> <Hood> *motions at Ylva* Ask her and the others
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes Hood's equipment, and this building.
<DeathStar> <Hood> Yes, and providing them with a better life.
<DeathStar> <Hood> Course the compound got totalled. *he grimaces*
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva glances at the ground, shifting nervously.
<DeathStar> <Hood> If you want the receit for it, you can have it
<kalonZombie> 6*Max pants, calming himself since it IS a good cause
<Seraphna> Luci> <Your sis isn't ever going to use the money... I think she'd approve of this use though.>
<AquaKoala> Otto> I think we can still come to a business agreement.
<DeathStar> 6* The fauna peer at Max and creep back like he might take them as payment
<Seraphna> Luci> "Don't worry girls, he's taken."
<kalonZombie> 6*He looks at the fauna and shakes his head
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You spent near half a million on a compound
<kalonZombie> <Max> I don't do slaves anyway.
<DeathStar> <Hood> I wanted them to have a lasting home
<Seraphna> Luci> "Clearly you pissed off someone else though."
<DeathStar> <Hood> Tried to get a few more girls free. Biotect operations aren't done despite what they claim
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes Otto
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Not a surprise..."
* Sara has quit IRC (Quit: Hmm?)
<AquaKoala> Otto> In exchange for the half a million I belief my friends will find it acceptable to have access to this safehouse and the equipment within.
<AquaKoala> Otto> And I am not using equipment as a euphemism.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva breaks away to speak with some of the fauna while they chat
<AquaKoala> Otto> And any girls that we happen to find will be taken in.
<DeathStar> 6* They peer at Ylva curiously
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Totally not a euphemism. I'm in a relationship right now, and I don't cheat."
<DeathStar> <Hood> *studies them* Alright. Sounds fair. I'm not set up yet. This was just a place to hide
<kalonZombie> 6*Max nods
<Seraphna> Luci> "You'll need to tighten security."
<DeathStar> <Hood> You got more money? *he brightens*
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva asks them about their treatment and experiences after explaining herself.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Not from my sister, we don't.
<DeathStar> <Fauna 1> Hood is our hero. He saved us from horrible places and is going to take us to a wonderful place to live for the rest of our lives.
<DeathStar> *they all nod* <Aurit> He even saves Biotects, no matter the mark
<DeathStar> 6* The biotects, especially the 8s, look like whatever race they are designed and would be impossible to be told differently unless they wore indificiations
<AquaKoala> *Otto rises and snaps his case closed "I'm not certain that we have money for you, but I'm sure we can toss you leads, but you might want to make it a little less Inconspicuous when you steal."
<DeathStar> <Hood> *winces* Fair enough
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back on the wall, watching Max
<kalonZombie> 6*He still looks miffed he's not getting the money back but he's not clenching his fists or glaring death at Hood, which is a vast improvement from his "I'mma kill him" attitude he had a few days ago
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Hm. I guess I was wrong.
<Seraphna> * Luci pats Max.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Also, keep an eye out if there's withdrawls and not just deposits.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> The correct answer was a third option, he is noble, but kind of an idiot. Just talented.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva looks to Asarar. 1"Master, perhaps you should have exchange sessions."
<kalonZombie> <Max> She may not use the money, but that's for my sister if she falls on hard times.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Exchange sessions?
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Yes. To increase the efficiency and skill of you both in Net-use.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> He has talent but is not very good at cleaning up. You could learn from each other.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He does use the System well to hack and move around, I'll admit that
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm going to go back and update our files.
<DeathStar> 6* Hood takes notes from Otto and the rest, giving them his safehouses - well, most of them
<Seraphna> Luci> We do seem done here.
<Seraphna> * Luci suggests headcounts in the future.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I... feel a little useless in that case, I admit. Maybe I can learn from him as well..
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pets her ears, and leads her along
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Come on
<DeathStar> -JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finishes updating their files, leaning back in her sea
<AquaKoala> *Otto cleans his rifle
<Seraphna> * Luci sits on Max.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max is sat on and is loving it
<DeathStar> 6* She leans forward as a file flashes and words appear: Your team interests me. Let us play a game.
<DeathStar> 6* Frowning, Asarar tries to scan the source of the message, and begins to deal with a hacker attempt to get into her files. Frowning, it scans the team's information and the mission logs before leaving with the words: Bye bye
<Seraphna> Luci> "Tiger pillow."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hisses like a cat and runs background trace scans
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Guess someone noticed us after all tonight
<DeathStar> 6* She rises, musing
<kalonZombie> <Max> You're still the softest dragon I've ever ridden.
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes Asarar "Not good, don't need attention"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Agreed.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We need to be doing jobs. Not playing games
<Seraphna> * Luci blushes hard.
<AquaKoala> *Otto nods
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *walks into the computer room* "Something up?"
<kalonZombie> 6*He grins and kisses her
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar lays down a map of areas, trying to push it out of her mind. "A tech runner - I think - hacked our files to mess with us."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't even know what Runner Games are suppose to be like
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...seriously?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. They only took our mission logs and personel files. I have the computer anyalyzing the attack and working up solutions for better defenses
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's clearly an expert
<Seraphna> * Luci leans into it.
<DeathStar> 6* She studies shipments, thinking on things Hood said , making a note on a certain corporation on her Data Reader, eyes sharpeking before looking back
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, I have it
* Sara has joined #Duality
<DeathStar> 6* She taps Star Corps. "They are bringing in more and more spirit fossils and starship components lately. Ylva will near the spirit fossils and the starship components will be valuable on the black market. Star Corps is running behind on making their quotas lately and are leasing out to smaller businesses
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The Aquarius being a big deal and all. If we can hit a smaller business, we can make big
<kalonZombie> <Max> So I was thinking we should probably share a room. Since... y'know... one of us is spending most nights at the other's anyway.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll plot it out over the next few days
<DeathStar> -END-
