The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 7

<DeathStar> Date: 4.6.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar has her feet propped up on her desk, dealing with some paperwork, trying to figure out what to do with some of the girls who do not want to stay, eyeing the cameras on her giant terminal screen that show every room except bedrooms of the club, watching Riki when she has time, the screens able to be changed due to the sheer size of the club/hotel with buttons
<Seraphna> * Luci sits nearby reading a steamy romance novel.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva naps on an ottoman after asking Luciana about dragoons more.
<kalonZombe> 6Max is laying on his bed. In thedark. Quietly.
<kalonZombe> 6Mother of all hangovers
<DeathStar> 6* Downstairs, corporate police officers walk into the bar. Many people freeze up, staring wondering why the 'police' force is here
<Chain> 6*the phiggies peek at the visitors
<Seraphna> * Luci turns a page, unable to see Asarar's screen without trying hard, and not trying to pry anyway.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *sets down her glass on the bar, pushing it to the side just so it catches the reflections of the jackboots walking in*
<DeathStar> <Barry> Can I help you, officers? <Corporate Officer 1> Yeah, we are here to see Wolfe about his complaint the other day.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans forward to eye the screen, hitting the listening button, the singers still singing so it's hard, ut the bugs still picking it up due to their location
<DeathStar> <Barry> I will page Sir Wolfe. 6* He nods, grabbing a roster of rooms, making a show as if Wolfe is just another guest
<Chain> 6*Wolfe raises from his favorite spot, as scruffy as always
<DeathStar> 6* The Asmos waitress glares at the goons from her spot doing tables
<Chain> <Wolfe> no need 6*he gives a slight wave to announce himself as he walks over
<DeathStar> 6* Barry nods. "Very good, sir." 6* He moves back to tending those who have not run off. Asarar clucks her tongue at having corporate eye on her club
<DeathStar> 6* One Corporate personnel goes to take a scanner out and she hits as button, making sure his scans pick up nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Riki waves at them innocent, offering them food, which the goons nod and take sandwiches without paying or tipping
<Seraphna> * Luci peers up and shifts to peek. "Something up?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Another Dream Cloud, Barry." *pushes her glass away*
<DeathStar> <Corporate Police> About those men you turned in the other day, Wolfe, that you say are dangerous sex traders. We went to the so sex club and saw no evidence of anything. 6* Referring to how the place had been cleaned out. "The men say they never ran anything and that you attacked them at their legit place of work."
<DeathStar> <Corporate Police> The way it looked cleaned up, we think they might be telling the truth Wolfe.
<DeathStar> 6* Barry fills up Kira's cup. Asarar leans forward, as if this is the first she is hearing of this
<Chain> 6*Wolfe rights himself staring them down quietly with a "are you serious" expression, letting the silence answer first
<Seraphna> * Luci mouths those words. She just plain has an annoyed look on her face, she hates stupid law enforcement with good reasons.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Shake it Down." *raises her glass and then has a sip*
<DeathStar> 6 *Barry nods. <Corporate Police> Anyway, since we can't find anything on the site, and their lawyers are big timers from up top, we are going to have to let them loose unless you got something that can let us hold them. And likely they are going to want us to arrest you for assault and battery of their business..." 6* He trails off, making it sound like Wolfe might want to do something about that
<Seraphna> Luci> "No one's this moronic without being dirty." *she mumbles*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They are corporate police, of course they are dirty, Luci
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They work for the Corporation, and Is aid these people had Corporate ties. It's why we stole what we did and ran for it
<Seraphna> Luci> "Yeah... but they could be subtle about it."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They have no reason to be - they own the justice system.
<Seraphna> Luci> "One of the reasons I quit enforcement."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. 6* She muses. "They could claim the slaves signed contracts, but I recorded some of what was in that warehouse. I could give that to Wolfe."
<Chain> <Wolfe> If I was such a thing, why would I have such an extensive turn in record and finders fee for the bounties I take? my record is quite sound
<kalonZombe> 6*Max groans, moving downstairs, ordering lots and lots of water
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Bt that would lead them to wondering who is Wolfe's tech-runner
<Seraphna> Luci> "Could probably get one of the girls to testify... though that would put the girl in the crosshairs."
<Chain> <Wolfe> but if they were smart, they would drop their case, lawyers love dragging out such cases and will drain them of their funds
<Chain> <Wolfe> and if I really did "hurt them" they'd want to keep their money to start a new business
<Chain> <Wolfe> than drown in multiple law fees
<DeathStar> <Corporate Police> Everyone messes up sooner or later, Wolfe. And these guys are Corporate Lawyers. 6* He leaves it at that, and takes the sandwiches. "Thanks, babe." 6* He tells to Riki, moving out; the other two officers look less sure than the police captain, who's name badge reads Posco
<DeathStar> 6* The bar looks relieved and the Asmo bar girl walks over. "Who does he think he is? And what are Corporate Lawyers?"
<DeathStar> 6* Riki tilts her head, then hops off
<Chain> <Wolfe> its a bluff or a threat, either way I dont respond to them
<kalonZombe> <Max> Short answer, legalized crooks
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shakes her head, and waits for the others to come, focusing on the next job
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs and sits back. "Well trouble came back to our door for pushing the envelope."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right now they want to shut Wolfe up - likely they see him as a potiential threat and want to scare him off.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The cop likely just wants a brive
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If he gets bribe he will them Wolfe is cowed and that will be that
<Seraphna> Luci> "I say we have him play along."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Assuming Wolfe will take advice or orders."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shrugs. "His justice is too high I think. But why aren't the Corporations wanting to cut these particular goons loose? I don't get it."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Bribe them, let them think he's weak, and when push comes to shove we floor 'em.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Was there something about these girls I am not seeing.
<kalonZombe> <Max> ...What's happening again? I just saw some suits and assumed they were being assholes.
<DeathStar> 6* Barry looks at Max, since Asarar and Luci are on the top floor
<DeathStar> <Barry> That would be one way, sir. Corporate Police are usually stupid
<kalonZombe> *Cat like hearing. Totally.
<Seraphna> Luci> "We could check them over more thoroughly."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Don't floor them. It will bring on heat we don't need."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe they've been tagged or were experimented on a bit."
<kalonZombe> <Max> You don't have to tell me that.
<kalonZombe> 6*He then makes a show of licking his teeth.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "We have to do this the right way. Come on." *takes her drink and heads to the elevator*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If they goons are let free to resume their business, then other than the slaves we saved, the ones Wolfe saved I am assuming will be forced back into work due to their contracts
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And then a case might could be made for the slaves being contraband - they might assume Wolfe has them and start eyeing our Club
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We might need to get them new jobs in better locations after all
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Master..." 6She mumbles, rubbing her eyes.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Hmm..." *she frowns* "I might be able to use a contact in the middle class sectors."
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Is something wrong?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Something I am not seeing. We definitely need a medical doctor
<DeathStar> 67* She plays with a ball, then taps their communicator, asking everoyne to come up to the top floor
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps out of the elevator and walks into the command center* "Well, someone certainly did it."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Even if the place hadn't been cleaned like procedure, they would have found another loophole. 6* She notes to Kira
<Seraphna> Luci> "Got any in the DB we could use? There has to be some backdoor docs looking for a new door in this slum."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *She pauses* Why not plant evidence back in?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> There has to be an honest corporate officer that would take it. I saved all the data I recorded on the terminals. We could also plant confessions from the girls. We plant a terminal on site and direct an officer to it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A personal terminal, hand sized. *She makes a potion*
<DeathStar> *motion
<DeathStar> 6* Riki meanwhile chats with someone, eating a colored candy happily, before going on her back
<DeathStar> *break
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "And yeah, we need to get the goons to lose their protection. For that, we need to find out who is protecting them and make them a libaility."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar waits on Wolfe and Max
<kalonZombe> 6*Max arrives, still looking a bit sour from his hangover
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I never found out what Corporation. I have to assume it's one who deals in Fauna types
<kalonZombe> 6*But wiling at least
<DeathStar> <Asarar> There might be a Biotect hidden among the girls
<Chain> 6*Wolfe enters, phigglets following at his heels
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Only reason I can figure a Corporation would push it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, I know for a fact two of them are Biotects, but they are early models.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps a screen, bringing up the two doll faced, blank faced girls
<Seraphna> Luci> "Think there's something more to them?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Not the usually slave material."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I figured it out when I gave them a simple order to strip and they began to strip and do lewd things as if expecting it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> When I just wanted to give them new clothes
<Seraphna> Luci> "Programmed for sex?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shrugs. "Maybe and yes. Anyway, Wolfe, I think the link to the Corporation higher ups like I said aren't going to let this go until they feel you are backed off enough that they can let their people go and get their property back, or they crush you, or we can find an honest officer to take evidence we give them."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So the question is - those who work that side of the line know anyone in that sector who is honest?
<Myaomi> <Ylva> ... Master, would you like me to begin studying traditional medicine?
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Biotects were produced right here in Quad 5... for entertainment purposes."
<kalonZombe> <Max> An honest cop is about as rare as a clean portopotty, Asarar.
<Seraphna> Luci> Still, they stand out more because of that. *she muses, trying to think of any in the precinct who haven't already walked off*
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "More likely to find a clean one on the upper levels."
<Chain> <Wolfe> last I checked I was the closest
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No, Ylva, you should focus on your area of expertise
<Chain> <Wolfe> and I'm not particularly clean
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Yes, master.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets break into their files then
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar takes her hand and uses a link connection to her terminal, trying to get into their files, focusing
<DeathStar> 6* It takes 20 minutes, with sweat pouring down her face, and using her Hacking Implant Lv. MAx for the session due to them having that level of security, but son she is into the personnel folders
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... in... while I am here, lets look at the cop who has his attention on Wolfe
<Seraphna> Luci> Posco.
<DeathStar> 6* Posco's folder comes up of the middle aged, portly cop, and most of it is redacted oddly, his balding head reflecting in 3d as it spins in the room. It says he used to work for Corporate security for the Quad 5 Corporation Ani-Mon Corporation.
<kalonZombe> 6*Max stays out of the net, protecting them and telling anyone who's looking for her, for whatever, she's busy
<DeathStar> 6* It seems he has high marks in skills, which are redacted beyond that.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe reads it quietly
<Chain> <Wolfe> he seems like he's planyed
<Chain> planted^
<DeathStar> 6* His psychology reports are redacted, outside some references to gambling and focused, addictive personality that makes him like a dog with a bone
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. I can see why he took the case.
<Seraphna> Luci> Might be easy to manipulate.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "No, this guy is their watchdog."
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to scan for recruits that are high up, or new, or have the power to take the case, yet seem to have high arrest records
<Chain> <Wolfe> what does it say about wife and kids if any
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Divorced, twice, 1 kid, 19
<DeathStar> 6* She comes up with a young cop in his early 30s, male, an Aurit surprisingly. The Aurit looks young, with light white hair, cut short
<DeathStar> 6* His arrest record and recommendations are long, but after a while they begin to taper off like he began to annoy people. He petered out at Lt. Captain
<Seraphna> Luci> "Cute."
<Chain> <Wolfe>...he might have a trigger
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to have a single apartment in the northern Quad 5 slums, near the Corporate Security buildings, and files on him say he has never been seen soliticings and they cannot pull much dirt on him. He seems to send half his paycheck to a female Aurit, who they believe to be a relative
<DeathStar> <Asarar> He might, yes. WEll, we have two options - approach Kyle, this cop, with evidence we gather from our trip, or use your trigger idea?
<DeathStar> 6* She turns to Wolfe. T he computer goes back to a mod heist she had been researching, going down tonight
<Seraphna> Luci> "Seems like our man. I think honesty is the best policy."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe nods to Luci
<Chain> <Wolfe> I think its best to but we should understand what his trigger is as he might blow up or show us why he's divorced twice and been shuffled about
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Fair point. I'll get the package of evidence together then since I recorded it. I'll need a bit, until tonight
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to stand up, moving off. LEaving the plan on the screen - enticingly
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Funny how plans change."
<kalonZombe> <Max> So what's up?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe moves off to shower, the phigglets bouncing after him
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *wavers a finger at the mod heist* "Before all this began, she was working on something else."
<Seraphna> Luci> Wasn't it the guy who spoke to you who's been divorced? *she rubs her head*
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Master do you require assistance?
<DeathStar> 6* It shows that the corporations on the slum levels, which Quad 6 has - one of the few to have, they have 3 ground locations that rise all the way up to the Top Level, going through the Middle Class, like one giant massive building, ala Shin'ra, can enter. It shows that a truck of net mods and new tech mods for hacking, as well as guns are leaving on an armored truck and being transferred to the various Corporate Quads, marked as a simple Asian Food truck
<DeathStar> 6* The planned wealth of the chips is likely immeasureable, plus what they could do with it
<DeathStar> 6* So far she had been down to using the fact Quad 6 has terminals and VR stuff out of the yang to try to bring it to a halt
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No, I am good, Ylva.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Too bad. That looked like it could have been a winner."
<kalonZombe> <Max> There'll be others.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva sulks, remaining. 1"Alright."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Though it is weird... a food truck?"
<DeathStar> 6* It has four different names it will go by, one being Kung Pao
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* As night falls, Asarar props Ylva on her lap, having a mini terminal ready. The truck with the goods will leave soon, in an hour.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, I gathered the terminal, we just need to go and plant it, and then alert the officer
<DeathStar> 6* Su looks worried, asking Barry stuff downstairs on a camera in front of Asarar and the others, frowning at the answer and moving to go
<kalonZombe> 6*Max nods
<Chain> 6*Wolfe nods as well
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *zips up her bodysuit* "Should be fun."
<Seraphna> * Luci gets her suit on as well, adjusting the plates a little. "Heh."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go then. 6* She pockets the mini-terminal in her jacket, moving to the window to gauntlet zip out to the roof. She zips along, holding Ylva and lands on the roof, the zip line going back up to the first floor
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar then climbs down a ladder to first floor; she peers around and notices Su going down the dark streets another direction, since it's always dark in the slums
<Seraphna> * Luci grins and heads after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Well, for exceptions - Quad 2 slums is opened up to the Middle Class
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *goes by way of rooftop, knowing a vent access nearby*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves along, and notices a crowd of people eyeing a symbol on the wall near a club - mumbling about how the group is getting bolder to enter this far into Quad 5. She blinks, the wall having a strange eye like drawing, with lines coming from it, the eye drawing you into it if you look too hard
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What is that... 6* She asks, never having seen the symbol of Truth before - if you read your Kumen information and know it well you would know which group does it
<Chain> <Wolfe> heading out Elphaba 6*refering to Ylva as he moves out quietly there after
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows Asarar, looking at the symbol and shrugging it off
<Seraphna> Luci> "That symbol belongs to Enlightenment."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Nasty group, they want to see the world burn."
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Right...
<Chain> 6*Wolfe heads up the rear, taking a glance at the mark when near it
<Myaomi> 6Ylva sniffs at Wolfe's comment, then follows him, holstering her pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves along, peering at Luci as they walk, the neon signs from all the clubs lighting the area well. She passes some chinese booths from wandering cooks. The smell of noodles drifting as they move
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I see...
<kalonZombe> <Max> Doesn't sound very enlightening
<Seraphna> Luci> "Where was Su heading, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No idea. We will need to find out later. 6* She muses, as they make their way northward. "Make a note - we also need to get a vehicle for all of us." 6* She notes as they walk, ignoring catcalls from pimps. One heads to them
<DeathStar> <Pimp> Hello ladies. You look mighty lonely. Would you like to come into my club? I can take care of you.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes him, her purple eyes growing harder
<kalonZombe> 6*Max growls low in his throat
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs and fixes the hood over her head.
<DeathStar> 6* The pimp raises his hands, backing away from Max. "oh they're yours. Understood."
<DeathStar> 6* He backs off, mumbling about Geyzians
<Chain> 6*Wolfe then looms over
<kalonZombe> 6*Max shakes his head at Wolfe
<Chain> <Wolfe> sorry, had to wait on lil' red
<Chain> 6*he gestures behind him
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps out from around a corner* "Run into some trouble with one of the locals?"
<DeathStar> 6* 6* Asarar peers behind her
<kalonZombe> <Max> Not really.
<kalonZombe> <Max> Just had to show some dominance that's all.
<Seraphna> * Luci shrugs a bit.
<Myaomi> 6Ylva huffs at Wolfe, wearing the red mantle he gave her.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar navigates the streets, soon the clubs vanishing for more abandoned buildings and homes - the buildings goingsd going up 50-60 floors and cramming as many people as they can, hovercars landing on top
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I won't ask how you got that on in the time I let you go. 6* Referring ot the zip line
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Yeah, watch out for the spots where he wet himself."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stops in front of one such building
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think he is on floor 66
<Seraphna> Luci> "Elevator?"
<DeathStar> 6* A hovercar lands on top of the building; they move inside; the side of the building has an advertisement playing about using Nue Age Corporation clothing
<DeathStar> 6* The giant screen staticy from disusage
<DeathStar> 6* It shows a cute cat fauna spinning in the clothing and sparkling
<kalonZombe> <Max> Elevators are never safe. So of course we're going to take it.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems one in every 10 buildings has such, since it is so large the entire neighborhood can see it
<Chain> <Wolfe> Red
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...huh. Didn't we meet that fauna?" *looks at Asarar*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar blinks and nods. "Yeah, when we got clothes, didn't we?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I guess she is famous
<Seraphna> Luci> "Oh? You met a model?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *nods* "We won a contest and went on a shopping spree."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We won tickets in Quad 2 to go shopping in the middle class stores - apparantly every month Quad 2 gives out like how many tickets, Kira?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 30?
<kalonZombe> <Max> Hrmph. I never win anything.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Based on good you look over there, you can move out of the slums and live in the middle class
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Something like that."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So those tickets give the slum people an edge
<Seraphna> Luci> "Sounds like fun."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think our guide said 2 people a month can move up
<DeathStar> 6* She walks up to the old looking elevator and hits the button - there are writing all over the walls and the stairs look rotted.
<DeathStar> 6* On the walls, there is written: The truth is out there. Kumen is built on lies, do not believe anything but what we write - Seekers
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "And someone's been hitting the stims..."
<Seraphna> * Luci stretches. "Seekers... if they spent half the time looking as they did writing, they'd probably have found something by now."
<Myaomi> <Ylva> ... I want to meet that fauna again..
<Seraphna> Luci> "They're mostly data thieves, work with corps but only when it's something they want to get too. And of course corps only hire them for things they don't mind someone else keeping,so they're living in an eternal confirmation bias."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Take the elevator. The stairs look even more dangerous."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps in as it arrives; it looks fine except all the graffity
<DeathStar> 6* She hits 66.
<Seraphna> * Luci gets in.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps in*
<Chain> 6*Wolfe carries Ylva over his shoulder, getting in
<kalonZombe> 6*Max gets in
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at wolfe and Ylva, curious if a relationship is starting there. She taps a button, going up to 66
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator moves fairly quickly, advertisements being spoken as they go up. Talking about how great Ani-Mon is at entertainment and VR and to try their latest versions. And they also talk about how their latest fauna kittens are the meowbest
<kalonZombe> 6*Max groans
<Myaomi> <Ylva> H-Hey, Sheriiiiff..
<DeathStar> <Advertisement> Also, why not pick a Biotect as a partner on your way home tonight?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar twitches, gloved fist, and steps out to escape the elevator
<Seraphna> * Luci follows. "You're not dead to adverts yet."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sets Ylva down and follows
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Think about how bad it is in the mid-levels where people actually have money."
<kalonZombe> 6*Max walks out as well
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps out*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Oddly, they advertise more to the poor than they do the rich."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Something about how those who have less wind up wanting more."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar knocks on the door of the officer; a moment or two later the door opens and the dishelved tired Kyle opens, his aurit ears twitching, two tails moving
<Seraphna> * LUci fixes her coat a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Behind him a woman moves around cleaning and cooking, not paying them any mind, a little blank faced. She seems to be a cooking model Biotect and housecleaner
<DeathStar> 6* That looks rather old, despite her youthful appearance
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Can I help you? 6* Asarar checks her datareader, seeing Otto has hidden the evidence, then looks up
<DeathStar> 6* She looks a little surprised at a cop on his salary having a Biotect, noting the age
<Seraphna> Luci> "Umm yes, you're Kyle, right?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *crosses her arms, leaning against the hallway wall*
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Yes? *He studies them, a little susipiciously, his tails coiling behind the door, likely for his blaster if trouble hits*
<Seraphna> * Luci has taken on that more youthful persona she normally uses to disarm people. Looking like a little 16 year old. "We came looking for your help."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We would like to speak to you about a case another officer is on, and we think an injustice is occuring
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hands him a chip with a few of the girls confessions of what happened. "These girls were rescued by Wolfe a few nights and brought to my club. I interviewed them non-partisanly. Your fellow officer claims there is no evidence left at the club he rescued them from and plans to cut the creeps who held them, then sue Wolfe. That means the girls will be taken back by the people who used them."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We ask that you simply, as an officer, investigate the area and see if your fellow officers did their jobs.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> ... That is a breach of protocol. Going against another officer's investigation. *He eyes the chip*
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Please. Think of the victims.
<Seraphna> Luci> "So is biasing an investigation for personal gain... but it's the girls who get hurt if this continues."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Alright. Well we'll be going then. However if someone happened to leave this at your door, and you just happened to look at it...
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle frowns, looking at Ylva, then Luci - then he cuts his cattish eyes to Max suspiciously
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Are you indicating something, sir?
<kalonZombe> <Max> No sir. Of course not. 6*Burning a charisma
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Just think about it and take a look if your conscious tells you to
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle rubs the chip in his hand then nods, stepping back in and closes the door. Asarar moves along, gesturing not to talk due to likelyhood of hall cameras, then once in the elevator uses her remote hacking to fry the elevator cameras
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows her
<Seraphna> * Luci walks along with her.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets meet up with Otto and head home. Tomorrow I will hack their terminals to see if Kyle went to the site and grabbed what I had Otto drop off. 6* She taps her chin, hitting 1 as Wolfe carries Ylva inside
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps into the elevator* "...tap his comms. Something felt off..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "I think you're being a bit paranoid. If he was acting weird it was likely in case he was being monitored." *she says quietly to Kira*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar glances at Kira, then does so with her remote hacking as they go down. Kyle makes a call into the station, asking for a report on Wolfe and seeing what he can learn about him, laughing off when the operator tries to ask why he is asking, saying he had a run in him with on his way home and he thought he looked suspicious
<DeathStar> 6* The operator gives the file - not very flattering on Wolfe of a vigiliante who brings in people with bounties and sometimes not if he perceives injustiuces
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "I'm still alive, aren't I?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> So a bounty hunter? 6* Kyle asks as they reach the bottom floor
<Myaomi> 6Ylva fidgets nervously by Asarar and Wolfe, her cap and mantle hiding her fauna traits.
<DeathStar> <Operator> Yeah I wouldn't get mixed up with the likes of him, Kyle. Keep your nose clean
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle thanks her and is heard hanging up. Asarar walks out and moves over to some ground cars, waiting on Otto to show
<AquaKoala> *Otto is already waiting for the group
<kalonZombe> <Max> Otto.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar watches, perhaps hoping Kyle would leave right away. She pauses as someone steps out and she ducks down.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves out of view*
<kalonZombe> 6*Max slides out of view
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps out of sight with the others.
<AquaKoala> *Otto is blending in as a vagrant
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle walks along, wearing normal street clothes, hat hiding his aurit ears and clothing his tails. He walks, a device reading the chip and plugged into his ears under the hat as he walks, frowning. He seems like someone going for a job, not using his offical security car
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar watches him go in the direction of the club, whether conscious of it or not
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, he's taken the bait - tomorrow will tell if he delivers it
<Myaomi> <Ylva> That's good, is it not?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods. "Sill curious about his biotect companion and where he got it."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets get back to the club like good law abiding citizens.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "That's one of the things that felt weird."
<Seraphna> Luci> "It was old, could be a hand me down."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar starts walking along, musing, hand on Ylva's back
<Seraphna> Luci> "It could also have been what was monitoring him."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe. If we work with him again in the future we will need to find out.
<AquaKoala> *Otto follows "I made sure not to make the scene that obvious."
<kalonZombe> 6*Max follows
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks her datareader, and sees that the truck supplies were stolen."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Something happen?" *looks at Asarar*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The job was pulled by someone else - someone called Code Geiss. A famous Tech-Runner.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Only reason they know is because of the CG
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The car when they opened it up was empty
<Seraphna> Luci> "Yikes... he's kind of a legend."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Are they sure it was him and not some copycat?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Then we would have been wasting our time if we had tried to pull it ourselves."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No - but we'll learn more in the upcoming days as Geiss plants information on the servers
<Seraphna> Luci> "Or in trouble if we crossed him. We're not THAT good."
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the club, there is a crowd surrounding someone - their bouncers are kneeling, trying to do something and Su is standing there, her tail and ears fuzzed out even for a Fox Fauna, looking upset
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns and moves over quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The walls of the building next to them are splattered in blood, with words written in blood
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Su?!
<Myaomi> 6Ylva runs forward to her
<kalonZombe> 6*Max moves over
<Seraphna> * Luci slips through the crowd assassin style to see what's at the center.
<kalonZombe> 6*Looking at the words
<AquaKoala> *Otto looks over the blood
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Well, slag."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves forward, eyeing the words - The corruption of female bodies ends in blood. Bloody night.
<DeathStar> 6* Su is crying. "Riki, RIki... I think it's Riki..."
<Seraphna> * Luci bursts her way through to see who it is. "Lemme through!"
<AquaKoala> *Otto checks for a body and who it might be
<DeathStar> <Su> I think this fucker thought her being in heat meant she was a prostitute. Why didn't she tell me, instead of wandering around."
<Myaomi> <Ylva> You really did not know...
<kalonZombe> 6*Max looks for the body as well
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *looks at Asarar* "Video?"
<DeathStar> 6* Due to the crowd, it's hard to get in close, but the bouncers seeing them wave people back; Riki lays there next to another prostitude, who has her heart cut out; Riki is still alive, barely, the cut on her chest just beginning when it started. She looks in pain - the Bouncer applying basic medical to her
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Riki! Riki!?
<DeathStar> 6* Between them is a strange candy
<Myaomi> 6Ylva runs forward, ignoring the cordon.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods and rushes inside. Su kneels, crying in relief and taking her hand. Riki's ears twitch
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes the candy, then the prostitute
<kalonZombe> <Max> We need a healer. NOW.
<Seraphna> * Luci kneels and starts applying her Trauma Pack to her.
<Seraphna> Luci> "We need a real doctor."
<DeathStar> 6* Barry peeks out. "I called the doctor that worked on Asarar. They will be here soon."
<kalonZombe> <Max> Good. All else fails I have a favor or two I could pull I think.
<DeathStar> 6* The bouncers keep people back as the trama pack keeps RIki focused and conscious
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *navigates through the crowd and then eyes the candy when she can get close enough*
<DeathStar> <Riki> Su...Ylva...h-hi! Is it work...time...
<Seraphna> * LUci keeps the device applied, kneeling. "You're gonna be okay kiddo... just relax."
<DeathStar> 6* The candy doesn't look like candy she recognizes, to be honest. It looks to be too good for this level, and it doesn't seem produced.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki wweakly wags her tail
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes the crowd "Disperse"
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd blinks and backs off, moving their own way
<AquaKoala> *Otto kneels to examine the corpse, checking the incision and the wound
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Mind if I borrow that?" *indicates the candy*
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to have been done extremely well, with only some slight messiness, and the removal of the heart while talented was done with obvious rage. There is no sign of the heart. The amount of bloodloss from both spelt the message - likely he spelt his little message then went back for Riki's heart and that cost hgim time
<DeathStar> <Riki> Riki's candy...? Where...?
<DeathStar> 6* She tries to turn to look for it.
<AquaKoala> Otto> Well, this one is certainly dead, sans one heart. Someone who was talented
<DeathStar> 6* She uses her tail weakly, trying to scoop it up
<Seraphna> * LUci gently but firmly holds her down. "Don't move."
<DeathStar> <Su> You doop...why are you worrying about something like that.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *picks up the candy with a gloved hand, eyeing it closer*
<DeathStar> 6* She scolds, her normal calm gone completely, looking not at all like her normal beautiful self
<kalonZombe> <Max> Riki, where did you get that candy?
<DeathStar> 6* It looks to be organic, not something you would find on a dead world like Kumen. If a Corporation didn't make it, it would have to come from another world
<AquaKoala> *Otto looks inside the cavity with a penlight
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Not from down here... hmmm... I think its from Geyze."
<Seraphna> Luci> "...You may want to get it analyzed better."
<DeathStar> <Riki> Nice customer...ow...gave it...made Riki feel nice and energetic...everything smelled better. Said it was a rare new candy....from Geyze...wanted people to...sample it...see if it was possible to sell.
<DeathStar> <Riki> Went out to get another...sample from his..girlfriend...
<DeathStar> 6* Su looks angry as well as upset
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *lip twitches and then heads inside with the candy*
<kalonZombe> <Max> When you feel better you're going to tell us everything you know about this customer, okay?
<Seraphna> Luci> "Riki... how long have you had this candy?"
<AquaKoala> Otto> Max, bring this body inside
<DeathStar> 6* Riki thinks and mumbles a few days now
<kalonZombe> 6*He does so
<DeathStar> 6* Inside the cavity, Otto would see wohat looks like a religious symbol of the spirits
<Seraphna> Luci> "Otto, not so sure it's a good idea to... upset... the crime scene..."
<DeathStar> 6* Primarily the spirit of Void
<DeathStar> 6* The bouncers lift RIki as her blood flow stabilizes and Su helps, stronger than she looks, carrying her inside.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *takes the elevator up and heads to the command center* "Anything on the security cameras, Asarar?"
<DeathStar> <Barry> Likely corporate security won't bother coming here except to use this against Wolfe
<AquaKoala> Otto> It is when it's one, possibly commited by someone from one of the corporations
<DeathStar> <Barry> Better to hide the body for now
<Seraphna> * Luci walks with, sighing. "Sounds like the slums..."
<DeathStar> <Barry> Did anyone investigate Ylva or Asarar's drop?
<AquaKoala> Otto> Two, possibly religiously ignited
<Myaomi> 6Ylva follows Riki and Su in, looking distressed
<DeathStar> 6 *Asarar nods and points at the screen. "Won't do us any good."
<AquaKoala> Otto> And three, looks very bad for us to have someone killed on our doorstep
<DeathStar> 6* The figure on the screen is dressed in a dark black hat and coat, wearing gloves and boots
<DeathStar> <Barry> I will post securitry outside further away - if any other killings happen they will not occur here. Technically it was between us and the club next door
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Cliche, but effective. I have a clue." *holds up the candy* "No Corporate stamps. My cin is it was imported from Geyze. Have a chem scanner?"
<DeathStar> 6* A male doctor walks in and heads over to RIki. He smokes a cig. "This the patient."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *Thinks* Yeah, from when we got the pills. In the corner
<Myaomi> <Ylva> Yes, please help her, doctor.
<kalonZombe> <Max> Yes. Get your nicotine fit another time.
<AquaKoala> Otto> I will be taking pictures then cleaning the blood, put the body in the cellar. And someone take pictures of Riki's wounds before he touches her.
<DeathStar> 6* The male doctor clicks off the e-cig
<DeathStar> 6* The customers eye the body and many leave the first floor club
<AquaKoala> *Otto turns to document the scene
<Seraphna> * Luci nods, holding the Trauma Unit over her. "I can keep this up till you're sure she's safe."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor moves to treat her. Barry to Otto. "The cameras will have gotten it.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves over and then pulls out her blade, cutting a piece off of the candy and then places it on the scanner*
<AquaKoala> *Otto nods to Barry
<Seraphna> Luci> "She might be on some sort of stimulant."
<AquaKoala> *Otto starts going over the scene in case something has been missed
<DeathStar> 6* The scanners shows it has been mixed with sweateners, but it seems to be made up of various unknown plants, their origins from Geyze. There seems to be three different plant compounds. There is a mild addictive property, but nothing horrible, that seems to expand people's chemicals - doing different things to different races. It makes you feel good, hyper, energetic. To Fauna it seems to make them go into heat for a time and want sex, perhaps other races like them, while humans it likely is a mild feel good with no ill effects
<Seraphna> Luci> "Heard about a drug that could make fauna go wild... but didn't think it was that prevalent already."
<DeathStar> 6* Otto would find so far nothing - it looks like the killer was thorough this time. Likely he will have to wait a misstep next time. Other than the jewelry piece, the words, the cut, and the candy connection, and the hate on prostitutes, it seems to be little
<DeathStar> (Kira is not on the bottom floor)
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Definitely from Geyze. Plant-based. For Fauna... its like an aphrodisiac. Humans would just get a buzz."
<AquaKoala> *Otto takes a few pictures from other angles before cleaning rapidly and setting the phigglets to clean as well
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So the person who gave it either 1) Didn't know the effect and wanted to give it to as many races as he could, truly expanding his business. Or 2) Wanted to see what fauna would do and get them high, for a sex market
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I will have to review past tapes and see if I can find who gave it - if she is right and the prostitute was his girl, he might be more willing to help
<DeathStar> 6* Su stays with Riki, even as she drifts off peacefully and the doctor uses his devices to heal up the wound and cut, making it just a thin white line, figuring that Asarar would pay extra to make sure Riki is not scarred. He then will come later and get rid of that
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Either way, that creepy message in blood is total serial killer territory."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. This is not over.
<DeathStar> -END-
<Myaomi> <Ylva> That bastard..." 6She seethes.
