The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 72

<DeathStar> 10.10.5990 CE
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sips coffee, trying to ignore nightmares she is having to dig up information
<Seraphna> * Luci looks at a few messages from contacts, yawning big.
<kalonZombie> <Max> What's up sleepy? 6*He asks Luci
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A shame that the Aquarius crew hasn't come down here for a drink yet
<AquaKoala> *Otto is busy in his dungeon
<Seraphna> Luci> "Mmm, nothin much... and yeah, I was thinking the same, they could get us an audience I bet."
<AquaKoala> *Little wanders in, rubbing her eyes "Coffee."
<Stretch> 6Jelly sits at his workstation, paying close attention to the firewall monitoring program that is also keeping tabs of the security for the Net inside the building.
<Seraphna> * Luci peers over. "Asarar is magic."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks into the office area* "You have no idea..."
<DeathStar> 6* Barry blinks, then looks for some, preparing i
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes the monitors
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That one of them?
<Seraphna> Luci> "Yep, their chief engineer."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she leans over and taps a button* Chelsea
<Seraphna> * Cookie steps in with Litte, looking about.
<AquaKoala> *Little watches, looking like she is dead
<DeathStar> 6* Barry sets a large glass of coffee, naming the price of it
<Sara> * Chelsea looks up
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Downstairs, first floor. Aquarius chief of engineering is here. See if you can saddle up to her and pick her brain
<Seraphna> * Cookie guides her to the coffee.
<AquaKoala> *Little drinks it in a few gulps and sets back down "Another"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We need to see what they know of CoreSector and the ship discreetly
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise wanders in a little after Little, eyeing her
<kalonZombie> <Denise> My coffee not good enough?
<DeathStar> 6* Barry prepares another
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back, musing
<Seraphna> Cookie> "This is Barry's Super Coffee."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Discreetly, huh... *she frowns a bit before heading down*
<AquaKoala> *Little doesn't seem aware of anything around her
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise snaps her fingers in front of Little
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans a little on Little and helps her drink.
<DeathStar> 6* The jazz singers of the club sing and perform, and the customers watch
<AquaKoala> *Little glares at Denise, her eyes sunken and very red
<Sara> * Chelsea sits at the bar and orders one of her usual, glancing at Little
<Seraphna> Cookie> "She doesn't sleep much."
<AquaKoala> *Little drinks her second and rubs her face, groaning
<DeathStar> 6* Barry slides it over. Asarar runs scans on Little and her friends, then props her head up. She muses
<kalonZombie> <Denise> I could have made you this stuff back at the place we're crashing at.
<DeathStar> 6* Posco is out in the streets, nearby, waiting for Wolfe to screw up as usual
<Seraphna> Luci> "Want me to go down and say hi? We've met them before."
<Sara> * Chelsea quietly asks toward Little, "Are you drinking to get over a hangover?"
<kalonZombie> <Max> I don't think it could hurt.
<Seraphna> * Cookie pats Little.
<AquaKoala> *Little finishes and streches out looking around "No, I'm drinking because I'm an engineer."
<Stretch> 6Jelly glances over to Asarar wondering what she's looking for, 3"Bubble butt?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> So am I. I didn't know we -have- to drink, though.
<AquaKoala> Little> You arent doing it right then.
<Seraphna> Cookie> *nods sagely*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is that so. Do they have a lot of alcohol out there?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What is it, Asarar? You have that satisfied look..."
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Last I checked there isn't a lot of alcohol in most coffee.
<AquaKoala> Little> This is coffee not alcohol
<Sara> <Chelsea> I suppose. That's why I asked about the hangover. You look roughed-up.
<AquaKoala> Little> No, this just how I look in the morning.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not really. Just thinking. Posco's outside if you want to kill him
<Seraphna> Cookie> "She needs warm bearsleep."
<Sara> <Chelsea> I... bearsleep?
<Seraphna> * Cookie beams.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Like hibernation?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises. "No one seems to have much information on the President of the corporations. They hide themselves so well. We only know about Terran due to our contact with him personally."
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Probably.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I hope not, we can't cuddle much then."
<AquaKoala> *Little pats Cookie
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh? You two together?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Not in public. I figure find out where he lives and drag him off to some basement."
<AquaKoala> Little> Yes.
<Seraphna> * Cookie blushes.
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise sighs a bit at that
<Sara> <Chelsea> Huh. So you're the bear? Samson mentioned a bear.
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Huh? Samson?
<AquaKoala> Little> Wow, tou catch on quick.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well there's two bears. We rescued a grizzly. He wears a russian hat." *nods*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ???
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Where's Samson now?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *glances at the police in Quad 5, since each quad has their own police* I wonder what the regular police think of the Psycho Pass Security Force
<Sara> <Chelsea> Hell if I know. *she nurses her drink* Sadly.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Wait, Samson?"
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Fucking dammit.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Haven't seen him lately. So how is it being back?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You have the Corporations having their own security, then you have CoreSector running their own security keeping everyone in line, then the general police in each quad
<AquaKoala> Little> No no no, how is Samson here.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Based on what I know, probably hate their guts."
<Sara> * Chelsea shrugs in answer
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You have the Senate Hall, which try to act like they have power with laws for the public
<AquaKoala> Little> Go get him.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But are in the Corporate pockets
<Stretch> 6Jelly nods in agreement with Kira, looking back to his screen.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well in the video we know he came back..."
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Little she just said she hasn't seen him in a while.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I, um... *she frowns, this not going well*
<AquaKoala> Little> Well, she wants something and we want something
<Sara> <Chelsea> I just like ships...
<Seraphna> Luci> *taps the comm* Chel... could invite them upstairs to wait for Samson.
<Sara> * Chelsea glances up, knowing she was asked to be discreet
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar gives Luci a look
<DeathStar> 6* As in "What the hell are you thinking' look
<Seraphna> Luci> "What? Second or third floor, we have private rooms."
<AquaKoala> Little> Ohhhh you people are *she whispers* tech runners
<DeathStar> <Barry> Madame
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Sure. Get them a private pole dancer, that'll loosen them up."
<Seraphna> Luci> "HOw's she gonna ask them at the bar."
<DeathStar> <Barry> Please do not give my establishment ties to such
<DeathStar> *he tells Little, looking offended*
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise looks like she's going to reject the offer, then sees what's on the third floor
<Seraphna> Cookie> "They have dancing here... and sexier dancing." *she nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Barry resumes cleaning cups
<kalonZombie> <Denise> ...You got male dancers too?
<AquaKoala> *Little heads for the elevators
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm not a "runner", sorry. I'm an engineer. My name is Chelsea. Chelsea Sweet. *she uses her old last name on purpose* I'm the one who built the battery for Cam'dee. *she follows them*
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows Little.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Oh you did? That was sweet of you." *she smiles* "I'm Cookie."
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise frowns but follows, not having gotten her answer
<AquaKoala> Little> And the tiger that looks like a tank is a plumber
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks up files on Robet McCane
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Do plumbers need muscles?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> We do have male dancers. One of our most demanded is named Wolfe.
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Hell yes let's go to the third floor.
<AquaKoala> Little> I'm not super interested in that
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe would be on the second. Third is the sex floor
<kalonZombie> 6*Max... actually heads into the kitchens with some tools.
<kalonZombie> *Second is what Denise would say
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Maybe he's a male dancer too. The tiger guy."
<Sara> * Chelsea laughs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar studies the police records, seeing if she can start trouble between the two factions
<Seraphna> * Luci watches, musing. "So they're headed to the second floor." *she says simply*
<DeathStar> <Asarar comm> You can back off on Little, Chel. It's clear she won't be cooperative
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a small nod
<Seraphna> Luci> "Dunno, she just seems grumpy. Like Otto."
<AquaKoala> Little> I am not grumpy I am direct.
<DeathStar> (Little wouldn't hear that)
<Seraphna> (Luci is elsewhere)
<AquaKoala> (Oh derp, disregard)
<Seraphna> * Cookie pats Little. "I could dance for you. I'm told I'm pretty good at it!"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises, flexing her right hand to move it a bit
<AquaKoala> *Little blinks and nods "Sure"
<DeathStar> 6* The second floor has a huge rave dance floor for people to dance, as well as strip dancers
<DeathStar> 6* There's a smaller bar up there too with drinks
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise is drawn to the male dancers like a magnet
<AquaKoala> *Little covers her ears a little, looking startled
<Stretch> 6Jelly glances to Asarar as she moves, glancing at her hand as she flexes it. 3"Frumpy?"
<Seraphna> * Cookie hugs her reassuringly and pulls some ear plugs out of her subspace.
<AquaKoala> *Little puts them in and picks up Cookie
<Seraphna> * Cookie squeaks and giggles.
<Sara> * Chelsea shrugs and moves to head back upstairs since it seems like she can't get much done here
<AquaKoala> Little> So Chelsea, what kind of ships are you interested in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Not sure why they came here but I'll just record footage and do invasive scans that cannot be detected
<AquaKoala> *Little blinks as she walks off
<Sara> * Chelsea would stay because of the question
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Wonder what you got on me in the shower."
<Seraphna> Luci> "THink you jumped the gun, boss."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe. But I'm not so sure.
<AquaKoala> *Little heads for a more private area
<Sara> <Chelsea> Starships. Pretty much any of them. The Aquarius seems pretty amazing to me.
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks at Chelsea as she stops and answers, looking interested.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *peers at Kira* You know I don't record the rooms. *She smiles innocently*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar prints up the data on the police chief and his right hand man, deciding to go look into them.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll be back
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar heads to the elevator
<AquaKoala> Little> It's the hardest I've had to work on something
<Seraphna> Luci> "Sure... I'll see if we have a lead here still."
<Seraphna> * Cookie motions Chelsea to come with them.
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise is enraptured by the dancers
<Sara> * Chelsea shrugs and follows. "I've always been interested in ships... I never had a family and life in the slums is pretty horrible, so I dreamed of getting away."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I didn't say I was against it, but either way, I'll be up here."
<Stretch> 6Jelly will push away from the desk, grabbing his tablet; 3"Bubble butt...franklin hospital creme lap..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe you should go with the boss, Kira."
<AquaKoala> Little> I'm not going to say mine isn't similar, the forrest is pretty boring
<Seraphna> Luci> "Not good to travel alone right now."
<AquaKoala> *Little sits with Cookie in her lap, rubbing her back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Ok..." *heads after asarar*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max heads back upstairs after fixing some pipes. Shirtless. And with some grease stains.
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles and wiggles a little. Luci taps the comm again, speaking to Chelsea only. "Try and make friends, see if they know the president and stuff. I'll come down... you're in a nice private spot."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You sure you shouldn't watch out at home as XO?
<AquaKoala> Little> Why haven't you tried to get maintenance work, you don't need a degree and they're pretty available.
<DeathStar> *She notes in the elevator* That means leaving Luci in charge
<Sara> <Chelsea> I actually used to do a little. But now I work here and it's nice. Probably the nicest place in the Slums to me.
<Stretch> 6Jelly sighs and shakes his head, looking between Luci and Kira.
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers around the private area, grinning.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...how about I send Luci out there wwith you?"
<AquaKoala> Little> But not on a ship?
<Sara> <Chelsea> No. I'd rather have my own someday. A life... I have control of... not some stuffy man in a suit.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Free spirit. Shy too for some reason."
<Sara> * Chelsea glances at Cookie
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Don't worry, only hearing surface thoughts. I have trouble turning them off. This private area is way quieter than the dance floor."
<AquaKoala> Little> Running a ship never interested me, I just like the parts not the mission.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That works
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hey, Miss Bodyguard! Guard Asarar's body!"
<Sara> <Chelsea> I guess you aren't that happy being back on the surface, then? Did you at least get a nice welcome?
<AquaKoala> Little> It helps to blow off some steam, we had a nice party
<Seraphna> * Luci moves over to take Kira's place. "alright."
<Seraphna> Luci> *makes a slam dunk motion* They're hitting it off I think. Or the dark haired one is stripping.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'll hold the fort here."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Where you guys staying? Topside? We've seen Aquarius crew a lot, so I wondered.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Seems like a lot of trouble to come all the way down here.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves back behind the console to keep watch*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "For a while at least. We stay at some place run by that... CorSec thing." *she says, a bit ditzily, and opening her top up*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar calls out
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Try to have her not be obvious and be natural
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hits down
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks at that, averting her eyes
<Seraphna> * Luci rides down with Asarar.
<Sara> <Chelsea> So, um... *she pulls out a photo of Little from the launch ceremony* ...Can I have your autograph?
<Seraphna> * Cookie seems to just be letting in some air.
<DeathStar> 6* The Big Bad Wolfe song plays - designed by Wolfe himself. All the fan girls squee
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie gags
<AquaKoala> *Little blinks and stares "Yeah no one really bothers up since we are corporations 'employees' " *Little signs it
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Stop looking up there
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...you have got to be kidding me..."
<DeathStar> 6* She tries to cover him up
<Sara> * Chelsea puts on the high beam smile as she holds the signed photo
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks through the first floor and steps out, heading along the streets, passing Posco, who seems to sense his enemy is up to something
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I was on the crew too... even though it was umm... unofficial.:
<AquaKoala> Little> Cookie is my +1
<Seraphna> * Luci walks, staying between her and Posco.
<AquaKoala> Little> You don't want to take a picture too?
<Sara> <Chelsea> It seemed like you guys must have had an interesting time. Since Samson swam through space all the way back to Kumen and you picked up girls like that one fox fauna *she seems semi-serious about the Samson thing since she doesn't know what actually happened*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I qualify as a +5." *she grins*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar soon reaches the police station, which seems even more overrun than normal in the slums. She sits on a bench and begins to do remote hacking
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki is in the audience and whistles at Wolfe
<Seraphna> * Luci sits with her, pretendin to take in the sights while really just playing lookout.
<DeathStar> 6* Before Bonnie tackles her
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise stuffs money down things that Wolfe is wearing
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie tackles Denise and bites
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise bites back
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie claws like a cat
<Jackieness> <Kira> *calls down* "Break them up down there!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Go big bro! Shake it!
<DeathStar> 6* Fan girls sweep Wolfe off the stage and away
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise shoves Bonnie off and drools over Wolfe
<kalonZombie> 6*Moving to follow the fan girls
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sits there, then just cuddles Erica
<AquaKoala> Little> I think Denise is fighting someone
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What a performance
<Sara> * Erica smiles
<kalonZombie> <Denise> OUTTA THE WAY HE'S MINE DAMMIT
<Sara> <Erica> I can see why he's the most-demanded dancer here. Wow.
<Seraphna> * Cookie muses. "If you want other autographcs, the Captain is around."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar begins to upload some of the Psyco Pass information they have, including Posco's files
<Sara> <Chelsea> Really? I think Chief Engineer is by far the most fan-worthy position. *she says 100% serious and straight-faced*
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps her vigil.
<Seraphna> * Luci burns a perception while she does too.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *comm* "If you cna hear me, the captain of the Aquarius just pinged downstairs."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Heee. My bear though."
<AquaKoala> Little> You might be in very small company
<AquaKoala> Little> Don't make Cookie jealous, she's vicious
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks cute. "Me?"
<Sara> <Erica> I wonder where they're taking him
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki drinks a pink drink, drunk and happy
<DeathStar> <Yuki> To their bedrooms to get more fan service, I am sure
<Sara> * Erica pets Yuki
<AquaKoala> Little> She's my one woman security staff
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Woo!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You should perform so I can do the same to you now
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki waves her hands
<Sara> <Chelsea> Really? Why don't -I- have a one woman security staff? *her ears droop*
<Seraphna> * Cookie blushes. "Let's hope I'm that good. I'm just a precog."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Uploaded. 6* Luci would spot the Quad 5 Police Chief leaving the district, with William Tell, moving to a police car to go somewhere
<Seraphna> Luci> "The cap and WT are heading off somewhere."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks up and nods. "We need a ride."
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around for one.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around - there are police vehicles laying around and a car impounded but not processed yet
<AquaKoala> Little> Is it always this raucous in here?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Only when Wolfe dances. Does CoreSec usually give engineers one-woman security?
<Seraphna> Luci> "The impound... though it might raise an alarm, would be our only realistic option."
<AquaKoala> Little> That was a joke, none of us has security as far as I am aware
<kalonZombie> 6*Max walks across the stage by accident on his way to another odd job
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hee... I actually work as a medical officer.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *calls down to the bar* "Offer the captain over there a free drink on the house." *sends an image of Erica*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Really? The Captain always had that scary bodyguard girl with her in pictures. *likely she means Saoirse*
<Seraphna> Luci> "We might be able to sweet talk the guard into letting us pay a fee on it."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "That's one of her wives." *nods*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm sorry?
<AquaKoala> Little> One of her wives.
<Seraphna> * Luci says "fee" in a way that means "bribe".
<Seraphna> Cookie> "My cousin is the other."
<Sara> <Chelsea> So starship captains really are like that...
<AquaKoala> Little> Captain Erica is attempting a harem.
<Seraphna> Cookie> In her Bordello.
<AquaKoala> Little> Most of the captains I knew were pretty charismayic
<Sara> * Chelsea looks confused then wonders to herself if she needs to somehow seduce both Bonnie AND Asarar
<Sara> * So that she can be a captain
<Sara> <Chelsea> The ship has a bordello??
<Seraphna> * Cookie offers Chelsea a fish shaped cookie, it appears to have come from thin air.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *nods* Do it
<Sara> * Chelsea sniffs it
<AquaKoala> Little> Yes, it's called Erica's bedroom.
<Seraphna> * Luci walks over to the car and the accompanying guard station, pulling out some fake creds if she needs them.
<Sara> * Chelsea peers around
<Sara> <Chelsea> It must be pretty big to fit a whole bordello
<DeathStar> 6* The guard looks up
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Two!"
<AquaKoala> Little> That was a joke as well.
<Sara> * Chelsea droops
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki moves to go, ignoring Max
<AquaKoala> *Little pats her shoulder
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets go
<Sara> * Erica follows after Yuki, holding her hand
<Seraphna> Luci> *puts on her sweetest smile and shimmies up to the guard* "Hi~"
<DeathStar> 6* A rather robust woman and one skinny man throw money at Max, demanding a dance
<AquaKoala> Little> So you are what the handywoman here?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Something like that. It takes a lot to keep a place like this running, believe it or not. And sometimes I get interesting projects, like how things went when Cam came to us.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Jelly, hold the bridge..." *heads for the elevator*
<Seraphna> * Luci burns a charisma. "I see you've got a car here... I'm in a bind, think you can help me out?"
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki waves at them in the corner.
<AquaKoala> *Little nods "And what, the tiger is your assistant or your boss?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Go Cookie, keep up the harem
<kalonZombie> 6*Max blinks, looking at the money, then shrugs and starts dancing
<Stretch> 6Jelly nods, returning to his workstation to monitor the security
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki moves onward
<Sara> <Chelsea> What. I'm, I'm not--...
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks and waves back.
<AquaKoala> *Little deadpans a little
<Sara> * Chelsea looks down, the spitting image of the pose that Chelsea-like phigglet sometimes makes
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps out on to the dancefloor and goes looking for Erica*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki is dragging Erica toward the stairs to go down to the first floor
<Stretch> 6Kaylin is probably somewhere standing in a corner watching and keeping tabs of each of her crewmembers.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down with Luci in the car they get
<DeathStar> 6* An engineer waves at Kaylin, smiling
<AquaKoala> Little> What ships did you work on
<DeathStar> 6* Before leaving the club to go back to the building
<Jackieness> <Kira> *waves her hand at the pair* "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hmmm? Do I know you? *She leans forward, tipsy*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'm the hostess for the night."
<Seraphna> * Luci drives them smoothly along. "So, how far do we dare tail them?" *she's trained in tailing, at least*
<Sara> * Erica raises an eyebrow as she gives Kira the once-over with her eyes
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I gather she's still green to that, my bear."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Anyway, the house wants to offer you a drink."
<AquaKoala> Little> She did say she worked on a few.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Hmm..." *she looks Chelsea over*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I worked at a couple of ports, so I worked on a lot of different ones, without actually serving on them -- mostly merc vessels, they want cheap work...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh, oookay! Another pink one
<Sara> <Chelsea> Really junky things.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> As long as we can
<AquaKoala> Little> Ah, dockhand work *Little nods
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances at Erica* "And yourself?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back, trying to get more movement out of her right hand
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wonder what Jelly meant when he eyed my hand
<Seraphna> Luci> "He probably wants a crack at repairing it."
<Sara> <Erica> Um... Banana cream pie sundae!
<Seraphna> Luci> "Though if Kira lands us a deal we might get the resources to just have it fixed."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's get you a private booth and your drinks will be out in a pinch."
<AquaKoala> *Little relaxes, stretching out in the booth
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise comes back with a piece of Wolfe's clothing. Probably the ONLY piece of Wolfe's clothing Wolfe was wearing.
<Sara> * Erica blinks, looking at Yuki and petting her
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh that sounds good. Is that a drink? I want that
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans back and rests against her, nuzzling her neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki stumbles into a booth on the first floor, making a mrrr sound of happiness
<Sara> * Erica sits by Yuki, continuing to pet her drunk little fox
<DeathStar> 6* The two cops seem to stop somewhere isolated in the slums, a bunch of warehouses that are deserted
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki nuzzles Erica
<Seraphna> * Luci stops a good distance away and parks discreetly.
<AquaKoala> Little> If you give me a number I could try and talk to a few people about a tour.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Seems to be their destination unless they're a hidden hangar bay here."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Follow me." *heads to one of the still-open VIP rooms*
<Sara> <Chelsea> People at CoreSec?
<AquaKoala> *Little nods "The R&D department is trying to get on my good side, since I was the only one taking notes on the tech we saw"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Sounds interesting. *she taps in a number on her reader and shows it to Little*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Hee, wanna watch me dance now?"
<Stretch> 6Jelly continues to monitor things, still pulling up various cybernetic schematics where he can find them.
<AquaKoala> *Little takes it down "I'll make sure to get to it before I can go on leave to Geyze"
<AquaKoala> *Little grins and sits up rapidly
<kalonZombie> 6*Max dances as long as there's a crowd
<Seraphna> * Cookie gets up and starts to dance to the music.
<AquaKoala> *Little watches happily
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks
<DeathStar> 6* The three people cheer
<DeathStar> 6* But a few more come in for Chelsea. Boobs vs. Dong - Boobs win with the Red Light
<kalonZombie> 6*Max makes a face since it's only three and starts to walk off
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar gets out
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Let's investigate
<Sara> * You mean Cookie? Which is in a private room
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at Erica, not going to the VIP room
<DeathStar> <Asa*er yuki
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Uh, Eri
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Aren't the VIP rooms sex rooms?
<Sara> <Erica> I think so?
<Seraphna> * Cookie starts to wiggle and bounce to the music more, stripping a little bit, since it's what she saw before. Innocent of the sex part.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki nods and doesn't follow Kira
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think I'll stay here. You can go
<Sara> * Erica laughs. "I think I'd rather pay with coin and not sex..."
<Seraphna> * Luci gets out with her and nods. "Careful though."
<AquaKoala> *Little blinks at that and slowly sits Cookie back down
<Seraphna> * LUci looks around to see what monitors are around.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances back* "Sex is only on request, and I'm not on offer myself."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Too embarrassing. Heh
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks, wiggling in her lap. "Mmm?"
<Stretch> 6Kaylin waits quietly against the wall watching them.
<AquaKoala> Little> That's was great *She smiles kisses Cookie lightly
<Sara> * Erica scratches behind Yuki's ears
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans into it and smiles happily.
<DeathStar> 6* There are no monitors out here, it's a dead land for the poor and homeless. Asarar stops outside the warehouse, hearing boices
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Then I'll get you those drinks." *walks to the bar* "Barry, a pink thing and something like a banana sundae."
<DeathStar> 6* Barry nods and begins to prepare it
<Seraphna> * Luci closes her eyes and burns a perception, trying to hear Joel style.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki eyes KAylin then sits with her
<DeathStar> 6* The two men are whispering with a third man, talking about something to do with Psyco Pass
<AquaKoala> *Otto skulks about the bar
<Seraphna> * Luci mouths the two important words there.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar crouches and begins to go inside, crouching
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns but follows quiet as a mouse after her.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks back to Yuki and Erica* "Your drinks have been ordered. I hope you'll pardon the earlier misunderstanding."
<Sara> <Erica> As long as my little fox is happy, I am too.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Would you care if I might join you for a bit?"
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to Riki, seeming to appraise her before returning her attention to the other members of the crew and their locations.
<DeathStar> 6* Riki wags her dog tail. "Are we hiding?"
<Sara> <Erica> Um... Okay? *she looks confused, wondering what Kira's game is*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pauses behind a broken down counter, the three men on the other side
<Sara> * Narrowing her eyes slightly
<AquaKoala> *Little smiles, fondling Cookie a little
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps low with her.
<DeathStar> <Police Chief> The reports are coming down - they want to cut our budgets more and try to incorporate the PSyco Pass into our offices as 'support'
<Seraphna> * Cookie coos and squirms a little.
<Sara> * Chelsea averts her eyes once more
<Jackieness> <Kira> *takes a seat* "I know this seems weird, but give me a moment... things are starting to get a little sketchy down here."
<AquaKoala> *Little blinks, having forgotten about Chelsea
<DeathStar> <Tell> *smokes a cig* The three corporations are really trying to gut us - they know we need their funding to run. CoreSector is being quiet on the matter too, saying they are getting to the bottom of it. <Familiar Third Voice> They are working on it now. The President's right hand is doing what she can
<DeathStar> 6* Barry brings the two items over and Yuki sips her drink, then begins to eat Erica's food
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns and tries to match the third voice.
<DeathStar> 6* It sounds very strong and in control, and know it all
<AquaKoala> Little> Sorry, I thought you had left
<Stretch> 6Kaylin glances briefly at Riki, 12"no, I'm just keeping an eye on my friends."
<DeathStar> <Riki> So you are a stalker?
<Sara> * Erica laughs but lets her food be shared with Yuki, trying to have at least a little bit of it herself
<Sara> <Erica> Sketchy?
<Seraphna> * Cookie blushes hard. "Eeep, sorry."
<Sara> <Chelsea> I, um... I can go.
<AquaKoala> *Otto moves over and watches Riki and Kaylin
<Sara> * Chelsea excuses herself
<AquaKoala> Little> Well that was awkward
<Stretch> 6Kaylin shakes her head, 14"no, I just provide security for them."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "They have these brain reading things watching the streets now. Its like a damn police state down here."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Yeah, sorry, sometimes when we're close I somehow block out the other noises." *she doesn't realize that's romantic*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki gives some pink drink to Erica
<AquaKoala> *Little blushes a little and kisses Cookie more deeply
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The Psyco system, yeah
<Seraphna> * Cookie melts into it.
<DeathStar> 6* She sprawls out
<Sara> * Erica tries it. "It does sound like trouble. And I think it's only down here too?"
<DeathStar> 6* The three men talk about trying to hold out longer, but the third man needs to do something before they begin to shuti down all the police quads in all the sectors. The chief and Tell leave, leaving the third man behind
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar watches them leave, Tell flicking his cig and crushing it before getting in the car. The third man turns and exits for the back
<Seraphna> * Luci peeks up to try and get a look at him as he walks away.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "For the moment. Big problem is that some of the corporates did this without CoreSector's approval. I'm smelling a coup."
<Sara> * Erica looks at her. "Well, I'd be rather surprised if CoreSector doesn't know about it."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look towards Otto now, his own appraisal being returned in kind. A sniper guaging another sniper.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That's the thing... no one down here knows what is going on up there."
<DeathStar> 6* Riki waves at Otto
<DeathStar> <Riki> Hi Otttttooooo!
<DeathStar> 6* He has a very Son back as he walks out
<AquaKoala> *Otto waves back to Riki, wearing surgeon's scrubs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks around as well, then moves back for the car - the other two gone
<DeathStar> 6* Customers see Otto and leave immediately
<DeathStar> 6* Nope nope nope
<Sara> <Erica> Heh. I guess that would be true, huh. My family lives topside and even I didn't really know anything until the Aquarius...
<AquaKoala> *They're clean!
<DeathStar> 6* But they may not stay that way
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back in her seat, musing
<Seraphna> * Luci tries to see if she can make out the third before following her. And getting in the driver seat.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So they want to cut the police out and merge the two forces
<Seraphna> Luci> "Of course, can't have a coup with civilian enforcement in charge."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, hopefully what we began can help. Lets go back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Then you understand our concern."
<Sara> <Erica> I don't know what you'd expect me to do about it, though. I haven't met the topmost brass myself... yet.
<Sara> * Erica checks on Yuki
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and starts to drive them back. "I'll stop us at a chop shop to make sure this car isn't tagged, we can get it painted and have a second vehicle."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki goes for the cherry on the sundae, trying to finish it off
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright. That person had a very familiar back
<Sara> <Erica> Really liked that, didn't you, my little fox wife?
<Seraphna> Luci> "And voice."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Think..." *frowns* "Had a strange feeling it was Samson."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Still... if you have the opportunity, I would ask you to help us get an appointment."
<Sara> <Erica> I could try, but I haven't even quite gotten my own chance at an appointment yet. Who would you be asking for? *she raises a brow*
<Sara> <Erica> And how do I know it's nothing sketchy on your part?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'm asking on behald of the club owner."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It could have been. *she muses*
<Sara> <Erica> I don't think I can go off of a vaguety like that. *she states quite matter-of-factly*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "True. Use my name then: Kira Li."
<Sara> <Erica> Li... Li... *she shrugs* I'll put in a word but I can't make any promises, and I don't want anything to happen to my bosses.
* Kaelan has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Jackieness> <Kira> *shrugs* "I'm trying to stop something from happening to them."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will return her attention to her crewmates, seeming to have finished her analysis.
* Kaelan has joined #Duality
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
<Seraphna> * Cookie sits up a little. "Watcha wanna do bear of mine?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and Luci walk in after dealing with the car
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks tired, sitting at the bar
<Sara> * Erica ruffles Yuki's hair
<Seraphna> Luci> *sits with her* "We could try and make friends with the police, at this point an alliance between cops, runners and CorSec might be what's needed, if the other corps are joining up."
<AquaKoala> *Little stretches "Wahtever you want"
<Seraphna> *she speaks low*
<Seraphna> * Cookie grins. "Mmm... they have a hot spring in the basement."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances over* "Would you pardon me?"
<Sara> <Erica> Of course.
<AquaKoala> *Little moves for it with Cookie
<Jackieness> <Kira> *stands and walks over to Asarar and Luci when the come in* "Hey, we got the captain here."
<Seraphna> * Cookie waves at Yuki as they pass. "Hot springs!"
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki paws
<DeathStar> <ASarar> *nods* It would be suspicious if I talked to her. You think you managed what you needed to do by talking?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sips a drink, giving a wave at Erica since they talked before
<Sara> * Erica responds with a nod
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will scan over the recent arrivals, watching them for now.
<AquaKoala> *lLittle waves to others as well
<AquaKoala> *Otto eyes Kaylin scanning them
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise heads back to the male strippers
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hello, Little. My Chelsea really looks up to you. I had to find her ship parts to help keep her busy after you returned
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar notes
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hard to sya. Apparently even they havne't gotten an appointment with the big man."
<AquaKoala> Little> Yeah we spoke, I'm going to try and get her a tour.
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles and waves at Asarar. "I love the purple hair."
<DeathStar> 6* She nods to Kira, then speaks up. "A tour would be nice. Maybe she can see some things that will let me know what to get in junk yards."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Uh--thank you?
<DeathStar> 6* She says to Cookie, unsure how to respond
<Jackieness> <Kira> *nods and then walks back to Erica and Yuki* "My card." *places it down on the table*
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles, giggling, playing with a long black twintail. "And the pink too. You remind me of a pop idol I once knew."
<Seraphna> * Luci blinks. "Umm... thanks."
<Stretch> 6Kaylins attention is focused more on her crewmembers than the Cypher crew.
<Sara> * Erica pockets the card
<AquaKoala> Little> She seems to know her stuff pretty well
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Give me a call if you can help. Another round before you go? On the house."
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles.
<Sara> <Erica> 'nother sundae would be fine. *she notes, Yuki having enjoyed most of Erica's*
<Seraphna> Luci> <I swear that kid is too young to possibly know me from my singing days.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She's our pride when it comes to repair work
<kalonZombie> <Max> <Yeah probably.>
<DeathStar> 6* Barry prepares another - mo money
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down, musing on things, as she leans back, the other crew gone. On the street Wolfe is being carried around by his fans still, Bonnie bristling at the window
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So do they actually take him to bed or just circle with him?
<AquaKoala> Otto> Just circle
<AquaKoala> Otto> Usually at least
<Sara> <Chelsea> True Fans. *she says -- you can almost hear the capitalization*
<Seraphna> Luci> "They might kill each other otherwise. I think Max is feeling inadequate."
<kalonZombie> <Max> Actually I think that new singer girl we have is the only one he takes to bed.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am sure Max could get a few feet with his 3 fans
<Seraphna> Luci> "Mmm? New singer?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks the data connection to the police computers, noting the Posco file was found
<kalonZombie> <Max> Yeah. Barry hired someone. I'll point her out later.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe tries to escape
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe escapes only to have it repeated next time he dances - the life of Big Bad Wolfester
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise corners Wolfe somewhere in an alley
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Wanna hunt this bunny, wolfie~?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It seems things are falling in place. *she tries to work her right hand a bit*
<Chain> (damnit Kalon! I thought it was Jan
<Sara> ((As in actual Aquarius Denise))
<kalonZombie> (Yes, that)
<Chain> (so many names
<Chain> 6*Wolfe reels
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, you alright?"
<Chain> <Wolfe> p-pardon?
<Sara> * Chelsea peers subtly at Asarar's hand
<Seraphna> Luci> "We could get you a clever hook. Or a gun arm."
<kalonZombie> 6*She grins and awful things happen off camera
<Seraphna> Luci> "Or a chainsaw hand!"
<Chain> 6*Wolfe howls offscreen
<Sara> <Chelsea> Or an ordinary everyday fixed hand. *she notes as if to discard all other ideas*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I just need to get my hand fixed up a bit
<Stretch> 6Jelly sits at his workstation, scanning over the schematics of cybernetic appendages.
<DeathStar> 6* The hand, having real bone mixed in, isn't fully cybernetic
<DeathStar> 6* It's just the metal parts are damaged and need to be unbent and repaired
<Sara> <Chelsea> Asarar, if I could get assistance from an actual doctor I could probably help you...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We do have one on call
<Seraphna> Luci> "Did we track down that one in the basement yet?"
<Sara> * Chelsea gives a small nod -- since it's sort of a job for an engineer and a doctor together
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes a schematic that Jelly finds
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That looks close enough - we can have you two use that. Thanks, Jell
<Sara> * Chelsea nods again
<Sara> <Chelsea> Good work, Jelly.
<Stretch> 6Jelly looks over at her hoping to get a look at the actual hand for his own curiousity.3 "Ticky-tock einstein..."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe claws his way home
<kalonZombie> 6*His girlfriend nurses him back to health
<AquaKoala> *Prometheus looks at Wolfe "Oh my, are you okay Mister Wolfe?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright everyone, lets rest up until things begin to go into motion
<DeathStar> -END-
