Now that I have a proper keyboard, so much to catch up on:
Re: Ogallala Peak, yes, that is Ohanzee's last name (well, technically Oglala, but the pronunciation led to some towns and other geographic features being called Ogallala, such as the Ogalalla Aquifer and Ogallala, Nebraska. Despite the different spellings, they are one in the same. However, the Oglala were a Sioux tribe, which is where I assumed Ohanzee ("Shadow") took his last name for his fake SIN. IC, I'm not sure Ohanzee would see that similarity as relevant - the grographic clustering seems more likely to be the relevant clue. From a metagaming standpoint, specifically calling out the parallel makes me wonder if it is more relevant than just the geography.
Speaking of metagaming, I'd largely assumed that the contacts that did not have conversations attached were likely just resources to call upon like a normal contact and not particularly relevant to the story, but was not making that assumption IC and thus making a point of double checking everything. The detail on Ohanzee's two contacts largely supports that. Long Shadow does have me wondering - he'd sell you out for a dollar and trying to use him to find info on the artifact could easily put people with more money to throw at him on our tails. Styles seems solid enough though - it's a nice trick that he is connected, but he won't share any information about other runners or jobs that might have gone through him. We'd have to hope that our opposition isn't part of his "family", otherwise we won't get anything useful out of him. Its a good way to force us to do our own legwork.
Also, speaking of nice tricks, Katsina's avoidance of sharing what she knows about the artifact was masterful. Props to Tecumseh. The internal dialog has me wondering if she has MPD or some other fractured personality disorder, or just hears voices. Also, considering the internal dialog, she may even be self-delusional. I'm not familiar enough with 4e NQs to determine which it might be, but it's probably better that way.
Blue Team was full of right psychopaths it seems. My dream sequence flash backs of Ohanzee being a bit of a dick (heh, "pulă") might have been way on the mild side. If Chino and Doc were psychos, I wonder if Sam and Ohanzee were too. Both of them seemed to like to record their deeds, though, and Sam and Ohanzee don't have any such recordings, so that may not be the case, but I'd have to worry. Of course, no one knows about Chino's recording yet, so this is purely OOC speculation.
Question about the dead decker in Doc's video though - any identifying clothing or marks that might allow us to determine who he worked for? No description was given in the writeup, but it could be relevant.
Yes, a timeline would probably be a good call. I've got to head to a dentist appt, but I can try to cull together all of the timestamps we have so far into a general timeline later. I don't recall if the photos had any timestamps on them, but so far that is the only physical evidence that Doc has from Red Team that would provide any inkling of a timeline for them. Well, and Ace's gunslinger image, which may or may not have a timestamp. He has not been provided conversations that would provide context and timestamps. OOC we could build something, so I'll try to highlight the things that are not known to Doc (which he is presumably sharing and so are thus known to all of Purple Team). Could be a few hours though.
