A closer look showed, that the escort people got the request for their services directly from the host. Nothing special, just a profile name, a suggested meeting place and time. Zola used the handle "Jaguar-Master".

"I'm ready. Let's go through the list:
  • Kite, is the key reader finished? Are surveillance and intervention drones at hand?
  • Anna, are you prepared? Do you have everything you need to mimick Eve? Which SIN does your commlink display? Do you have the apparition slash spell slash wagemage to mask your aura? Have you allowed me access to your burner link? How do you use it, anyway? Trodes? I guess you won't be wearing trodes while having sex. If you have to put away the 'link, try to do it in a way that the camera has a free line to Lavadora and/or you. Do you have bound spirits?
  • Slob, are you ready to follow her? Do you have surveillance equipment at hand? Armor and weapons prepared?
  • Flatline, are you ready? How many spirits do you have bound?
  • Krestov. Uhm. Do you have a task, actually..?

I'm ready."

Kite replied: <<Two Microskimmers + a Rotodrone with a JP-K50, extended mag and custom APDS, ready to shoot through walls. Cudos to Mike for this nice toy.
The reader is also finished as of this moment. Put it inside a paperback novel. Sorry, didn't have time for a nicer cover.>>


Flatline responded: <<I'm ready. Two F4 spirits bound, one F6 spirit on call for the night. And Krestov is my driver and back up. I've got a Laes patch ready, just in case.>>

Anna texted >> I am not going to display a SIN - Fake one is a crime and - and do you really expect a prostitute to display her real SIN?

I think that nobody expects me to pay or actually identify myself in this profession - but if I am mistaken I can use my student SIN for the job. It is bad because I've been using it for a long while - and because of what we do next - but the SIN fits the general story... and given my well-maintained image as a party girl, it is not unthinkable for me to do this. Should not raise any red flags. Though, I'd rather not use a SIN at all - because well - I do not want to die.

My student SIN will show that I study magic for practitioners in Seattle U and that I have a license to practice magic. It will also show that I run active life and party a lot. Any alternatives are welcome there. If possible I'll try to keep no electronic, a silent running burner in silent mode. No way for me to actually use it but you can track me and listen or whatever - so if things escalate to violence you will know.

I was born about a hundred years too late to actually have sex with trodes, so no I am not going to wear trodes at all. It looks goofy with a night dress.

I have no bound spirits I do not know how to bind them actually. I know how to summon but will have no summoned spirits as well. Spirits have visible links to my aura and I doubt Lavandora would like to sleep with a girl with a fire elemental bodyguard.  I mean I am already terrified at what Lavandora can conjure if things go south...

So I plan to come with no active spells or spirits or anything magical - and I have nothing to do to mask my aura. Flatline have not finished studying the spell to disguise it, but I was an awakened that cannot do any magic for the vast majority of my life. I hope that I can talk my way around it if he discovers my aura. Perhaps I'll just be honest with him if he discovers my aura, I mean I can just tell him that I aspire to develop my talent and that university is super expensive and I am only doing that to get by and finance my education.
Any other suggestions? 

I mean - I have never done anything like this so I may be missing something.

Mike chimed in: <<Don't worry about the aura thing. I just got out of the talismonger's, assures me this concoction will fool anybody while it lasts - which is apparently ten minutes. So trigger it just before the meeting. Limo is also ready.>>

>>Surveillance gear? Eh, no. I've got some decent weapon scopes that I could use as binoculars, but I don't have any RFID chips. I'd rather not risk putting one on Anna and having it detected.

Weapons?>> Yeah we're good there. If you need firepower, give me a heads up, and I'll react accordingly. I don't have my FBA with me, though.

Guns'o'clock - Yamaha Raiden loaded with APDS, Underslung grenade launcher loaded with stuns
Heavy - Yamaha Raiden loaded with Gel, a few hand stun and smoke grenades.
Standard - HK-227 loaded with sticknshock, some stun and smoke grenades.
Light - Just my Ruger loaded with Gel ammo, no grenades.
No Guns - I've got some magical knucks.

"Anna: Let's just hope that the scumbag doesn't switch to Astral Perception anytime after you arrived. If you're using the concoction, and he finds out about it later on, you're fish fodder.

Slob: I wasn't speaking of tags. I meant proper imagining devices, audio enhancers, sound filtering systems, and, in everything goes south, b&e gear.
Mike, be an awesome trog and tell me, we have all that stuff available."

>>I've got some vision enhancers and audioenhancers on me at all times, and I've got a few rifle scopes I could repurpose as spyglasses, but I wasn't planning on being so subtle as to need B&E gear.

>>Some sound filtering devices would be nice

>>And fuck off with that "trog" drek, breeder

"Geez, I'm sorry, Mr. Maday. Someone forget to inform me that political correctness has become etiquette in the cogerando barrens.

Right, seems we're ready, unless someone else wants to share their feelings with us."

[spoiler]bnc also prepares her drones.

Just one hour before the planned date, everyone was ready.
Mike had returned with the limo and a small vial holding the alchemical spell. Anna would only have to open the tiny bottle and touch the liquid inside. Krestov he handed a slap patch with Laes, just in case the escort lady needed to forget the meeting.
Anna and Flatline both had been transformed through make-up and hair dye into somewhat realistic copies of Zola and Eve.
Slobber was ready to ride out on his bike while Krestov had donned the appearance of a chauffeur.
Kite and bnc both where ready to go into VR for overwatch duty.

Time to come face to face with Zola for the first time.

The restaurant was one of the countless high class affairs in downtown Seattle. French cuisine with prices that made even purchasing a glass of water an expense that a typical sarari man would have to run by his financial adviser. And yet there were a lot of people waiting at the bar to be shown a table.
Flatline got out of the car and went into the restaurant, scanning for Eve. The girl wore a fashionable costume and large sun glasses as well as dyed red hair, so it took the combined efforts of bnc and to recognize her.
I took the doctor a moment to sweet talk her into leaving the restaurant, but could convince her that the restaurant was a bit to packed for his taste.

They left the restaurant not a moment to soon: Just as the doors of the limo had closed, Slobber saw three man come up from the parking garage.
The one in the middle was quite obviously Zola: Tall, tan and black haired with expensive glasses and an even more expensive suit.
Behind him and to his left and right his bodyguards followed: A surprisingly small guy of south american descent, wearing an obviously armored suit. His features were hard and a scar curved upwards from the left corner of his mouth. His head was shaved and at the side of his neck a tatooed claw was visible that likely belonged to some kind of great cat. His lips were small and tightly pressed together which made him looking annoyed.
The other one was a tall elf with a military buzz cut. He wore tinted glasses as well as earbuds and bore a bored expression. When he moved his arms for a short moment bandages at his forearms became visible.
The trio entered the restaurant and moved past the waiting line of guests directly to the hostess and were directly shown their table.

Meanwhile in the car, Flatline seemed to have already expended what charm he had and the conversation between him and the beautiful girl had come to a halt, despite her best efforts to keep it going.
Through the rearview mirror Krestov saw Flatline look pleadingly towards him. <<Krestov, I really don't know what to say to this girl or where to take her. Do you have an idea?>>

Spotting Zola, Anna nods at Slobber and then touches the alchemical vial, leaving the now mundane preparation with Slobber.
She heads to meet Zola and his bodyguards next to the restaurant. She curtsy and introduces herself as "Eve".
Anna displays no SIN and her link is running silent, in the bag.

For a moment Zola looked with a piercing stare at Anna, but replaced it immediately with a genuine smile.
"Charming. A pleasure to meet you Eve. For this evening, you may call me Esteban." He offered Eve his arm and nodded towards his two bodyguards. The smaller one relaxed and took his hand out from inside his jacket, while the tall elf kept a stoic expression on his face.
The four entered the restaurant and Zola pulled out a chair for Eve to sit. The two bodyguards positioned themselves on opposite sides and started to scan the room.
"Please don't mind those two, but for insurance reasons I am required to have a detail with me."
A waiter appeared and Zola stopped himself:
"Ah, Pierre, good to see you. I hope there is still some of that excellent 2066 Chateau la Mes left in your cellar."
"Certainly, Monsieur. I'll be right back." Pierre replied and left them with two gold embossed vellum bound menus.
"I hope you are hungry. The Escargot here is to die for, although I think I'll chance the fish tonight.
So Eve, I hope you like music. A friend of mine has sent me tickets to the symphony and they are playing Bach. I just couldn't miss that."

"Bodyguards to a dinner...  Is he threatened or is another show of wealth." She graces the bodyguards with a quick glance and then positions her look at Esteban.  "I feel your pain." she said with a neutral voice. 
Insurance can't live with them can't live without them. So difficult to find a good one. She apologized to Zola and said "I came hungry and I prefer fish."

To Pierre she said "I'll have the Brandade de morue."

Then she comments " Bach you say? Neo classical or full classical? I hope it is full classical - I always wanted to experience these primitive instruments."
