[spoiler]He definitely seems to be genuine, and tripping on something while on the job.[/spoiler]

"Yeh man, ARB and his crew might not be the strongest lot, but they got the nuyen and the nuyen gets them guys like me to be their muscle on the streets, if you know what I mean. You gots to. say, open a shop, or some drek, you'll be wanting to be all paid up to ARB to make sure ain't no two bit slitch going to mess with you, not with the Brain Eater's protection." He reaches into a rucksack on his back slowly and pulls out a datachip with a yellow sticker on it and hands it out to Gibbon. "Here man, you seem cool, I'll give you a yellow on the house. Whether you not gotta sim mod or do, there's plenty of dens round here where you can slot in safety."

[Ren]

Gibbon smiled up at the ork. "Hey, thanks, chum. You know what? If you tell me your name, i might mention to ARB you're good for his biz." Pocketing the yellow-stickered chip, he waved goodby to him and left for the rain. He then called Andromeda and Cookie. "Guys, i got us a name. ARB's the leader of the Brain Eaterz, this is their turf, so he might know more about our target. However, i suspect getting info out of him is not my league, so what do you say we let our specialist get in and get the info out? I got a recommendation for him this time. By the way, nothing out of the ordinary so far, so we might leave the questions and get some physical info, and be satisfied."

[Punch]

Cookie clicked on his mic and sent a message back @Andromeda, Gibbon: Agreed, we know who we can send in then, I don't mind riding backup at a distance for him, so if he screws up; I can pull his ass out the fire, chew him up and give him the boot.  oh, and if he doesn't well it means we don't give him the boot and we have to keep him around,  such is the life of runner. At the last part of his statement he kept his eye on the drivers "seat" as he turned the mic off. "That okay with you? He asked Andromeda.

[Kouryuu]

Andromeda completely missed Cookies look, but answered him straight " Why not, let's see how much negotiation he can do?
If he screws up, i can spare a bullet for him to put him out of his misery as well," then after a after a very well placed pause she went on "if need be, but will keep an eye out for him as well, anyone coming for his hide will first him in my scope as well, " You could not really tell if she would take him down just because she could or she paused just because the thought crossed her mind. maybe there was a reason, maybe there was non at all. but who could really tell what is going on the head of others. 
@Team >>Gibbon could you get ARB's whereabouts?, i could deliver our spokesperson. Rorek, you ready for some Talking?<<

[Chrona]

Rorek offers to go there on his own, hoping to impress you by also talking his way to the Brain Eaters crib and to ARB.

[spoiler]Unfortunately you don't hear from him no matter how many times you try to contact him for the rest of the scene.[/spoiler]

It has now been 45 minutes since you first started staking out the warehouse.

[Kouryuu]

45 min had passed, Rorek Was MIA, and even Andromeda started to worry. @Team " Why has he shut off his com? Pulse could have kept him safe and we knew that something is going wrong. Anyone want to check it out in Force?" Andromeda asked cookie and the rest of team, but only Cookie saw her unholstering her Ares Predator.

[Punch]

Sighing to himself Cookie, put over a message to the others
@all: When did we last have eyes on him? Can Kitten meet me there, we may have to do some astral tracking, I would suggest everyone else stays with the car until we get eyes on.
As he pulled his Izom Aphrodite out and to give it a check over before putting it away as he looked out the window.

[Chrona]

"YO! Monkey Dwarf! You still around here, dude!?" Gibbon can faintly hear Huck in the distance, seemingly searching for Gibbon. When he finds you he ill catch his breath, then continue "The Nukes just attacked ARBs crib man, best you get out of the area before there's another attack or they think you're part of it, The Red Hot Nukes are all dwarfs. Slotters snuck whisper explosives near enough to do some damage."

[farothel]

'Warehouse management system,' Kitten read, 'what the hell is that again.'
She continued reading and quickly grasped the basics of it.  At least enough to get by in the museum for a week or so.  Then she got a comm.

"Where is 'there'," she asked, "and do you want me to show up in person or is astral okay?"
While she asked she closed the AR window she was reading in and went to her magical lodge.  If she was to astrally run around, she wanted her body behind a barrier with a spirit on guard.

[Ren]

Gibbon's eyes widened at hearing the situation. "Thanks for the heads-up, Huck. I owe you one. I'm outta here as fast as i can. You know what? Here's my commcode, if you have somethin' new, gimme a call, we'll work something out." He gave one of the commcodes which he kept for the shadow work to the ork, then headed out of the Eaterz' turf. He called Andromeda. "Hey, i think i have to leave. The Brain Eaterz just got hit by a dwarf gang, so i don't want to get caught anywhere near. Can you give me a lift? I'm transferring my coordinates right now."

[RHat]

Gearing up to take a run at the shipping company, Pulse took a quick analysis of their systems.

[spoiler]Matrix Perception Test (14d6.hits(5)=4)

Let's go with Firewall, System, hidden connection to other nodes, and encryption status.[/spoiler]

[Chrona]

The museums node looks like a 2020 throwback compared to this one, but it is mostly the encryption. A rating 5 Firewall, System and Encryption stands in front of Pulse on the data streams of the matrix. You see no hidden connections.

[Kouryuu]

>>No Prob, be there in a few.<< She replied to Gibbon serving Cookie to a quick start leaving smoke and burned rubber aroma in the air.

the 2 minutes needed to meet up wit her new dwarwen team mate had given her some time to think upon the situation. When she picked him up she had a few questions on her mind " I know Rorek might have fucked this up already, but do you think they would work with us? we have some benefits for them, i could offer around 20 smart-linked Uzi as a start, and the new war would definitely only increase their need for strong friends. they could take on any tail we have when reaching their Turf?" Andromeda grinned, "what do you think, would they agree to something like this?"

[Punch]

Cookie looked up from his commlink that he'd been staring from the backseat before speaking. "I need to say this, but I don't think this is a good course of action, we can't send Gibbon in and our negotiator is MIA. The choice is me, you Andromeda, Kitten or the other new guy but if it's a gang war won't they just shoot at anything that moves? then we've got KE who are going to pop in to say hi eventually. We really need someone with connections and they probably just got blown up; admittedly I hope not but that maybe the case, so it looks like we're outsourcing again for a new face so we can find out what happened to the new face. So does anyone know anyone or anyone we can ask because this is already turning into a headache." Cookie stopped in mid-sentence. "But what if the gangers, KE and this other lot are too busy butting heads to notice a deal going down at a warehouse; and you want to sell guns to them which would; clever, why didn't I see that, we still need someone talk to them, so were straight back to square one." At that Cookie pulled his head back proceeding to stare into space at the ceiling.

[Kouryuu]

Andromeda looked back at him "What is there much to do? Silk does it all the time. Go to them speak a bit if it's needed, then say we give you guns as payment, you protect us. Deal? DEAL!" Andromeda Talked as if it would be the easiest thing to do. Clearly showing her lack in the field of negotiations.
"Silk would do it, i know she would ...." Andromeda became thoughtful for a few sec. "That's it! We ask Silk to make the negotiations and we just have to deliver the guns, no connections whatsoever, no way they can pin it on her." Andromeda Beamed with joy as she had found a way and did not wast a opportunity to call Silk >> Yo pretty lady, up for a small side job, if not for returning?<< she still had hopes Silk would just appear back on the job as if nothing had happened.
