Title: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-14-10/2143:47>
@Joker Your comlink buzzes and it is Otto. "Hey chummer round up the team. I've got bizz that I'm sending your way. The guy wants to meet you at the Mogul in two hours if you can make it that fast." a quick glance at the time stamp shows it's just afternoon. what is it with everyone getting me up when the sun is still high in the sky? "He says that time is of the essence. Isn't it always. Anyhow I didn't have any problems with his cred, and he had a good vibe to me. He said he is willing to pay top nuyen for top talent so naturally I thought of you guys."

"Let me know how things go and if I can be of help. You have calls to make so I'll let you get to them."

Joker groans and finally lifts his commlink to view the screen.
"Zanks, mon ami. I'll hit you up after."

After ending the call he sighs and lets his arm flop down into his bed of random pillows. A few minutes later he sighs yet again and begins to text his crew.

@Team:"Elo chumz. Comment ça va? Iv got a job n you are cordialee envited. Plase & time be low. Gud nuyen"

He sits up, rubs his eyes, and finally rolls forward to his knees to stand.

"So gaz... I need a vacation.", he mutters to himself at he makes his way to the bathroom, rubbing his forehead.

After a long shower in which he nearly falls asleep standing up, he begins to get dressed. Form-fitting armor with armored plates. Sexy, wiz, and damn good protection. He straps on his heavy gunbelt and his arm slides, then tops it off with a snazzy neo-tokyo style jacket (also stopping to pat down his messy hair).

Staring into his cracked bathroom mirror, he winks at himself, smirking mirthlessly and straitening his jacket. He finally feels ready.

The chapel was quiet today, the way Dinivin liked it. No loud teenagers acting out their rebellious tendency against their parents by disturbing the house of the Lord, no businessmen brokering deals in whispers in the back of the chapel, just silence. He knelt in the front pew, praying for guidance perhaps, but mainly just finding his center in these familiar surroundings which had been forbidden to him by the prejudice of others. When suddenly, his AR blipped on and a message appeared.

"Elo chumz. Como ce va? Iv got a job n you are cordialee envited. Plase & time be low. Gud nuyen"

The Lord grant me strength, that man will eventually remember I don't speak that doggerel, maybe I should buy him a spellchecker, if nothing else it would save me having to resist the urge to take the Holy Fathers name in vain every time he texts me. As he finishes the thought he stands up, and making the stations of the cross says quietly,"In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen"

As he walks out the door into the chilled, windswept streets a splatter of rain burst upon his face. Yes, this was going to be another one of those days. He began texting as he began walking down the stairs.

@Joker"Headed there now, will find a quiet spot and investigate from the heavenly perspective to make certain all is on the up and up. And get a spellchecker already."

As he finished typing he headed for the target location, keeping his eyes open for safe places to slip into the astral and scout the scene to ensure no double cross was waiting for them.

((OOC: intention is to fidn a place to do astral recon before entering meeting place and check for anyone whose emotions don't fit the scene))

You find an out of the way bench a block or two away not ideal, but desperate times desperate measures and all. You go astral and recon the Mogul. All is quiet like you would expect in the early afternoon. Four no wait five patron in the bar. All peaceful and tranquil except the last guy in the corner. His aura is a bundle of nervous energy and raw emotions.

As Dinivin returned to his body he shook his head as though awakening from a nap and discreetly surveyed his surroundings to make certain no one had taken an inordinate amount of interest in him while he was away. As he did so he messaged Joker.

@Joker"Quiet scene, 5 signatures in the bar, the one in the corner is either the one we want or a potential risk. Either way he sticks out from a heavenly view as a disturbed soul."

With this done Dinivin returned to the task at hand, keeping his eyes open for the rest of the team and watching to see if any of them were tailed. He routinely switched his perspective back and forth from normal to astral perspectives, getting a feel for anyone who may enter the bar or linger nearby. Once the whole team was inside and he was certain no one had followed, he would enter the building himself. In this business one could never be too careful.

((OOC: If the spot he did astral recon from cannot see the bar, he will move to a better vantage point.

Everyone shows up about 15 minutes before the meet time and no one is being followed. After a minute of confiding you head inside. A middle aged Indian woman meets you at the door and looks you over quickly and says, "You must be here to meet Daniel. Right this way."

She leads you to the back corner (this is the one who was upset). He rises to meet you as you walk up. He offers a hand and says, "Thank you for meeting me on such short notice." He motions for everyone to sit down.

"I'm Daniel McCleer." With that he flicks his thumb and fingers like he is flipping a card and your AR display shows a gaudy card that makes you instantly think of show biz.

"I'm with Tridtainment Inc. We have a small problem that we would like to take care of quietly, and hope you can assist us with. We need you to help us find Josh Williams." he pauses for a couple beats for dramatic effect you assume. "yes Josh Williams of Wounded Needle. As you may or may not know Josh has a bit of a drug and BTL problem. Doesn't it seem like all musical geniuses since before the turn of the century have. Anyhow it didn't seem too bad at first, but about a month ago it started to affect his music. So Pete Anderson, the drummer, ad I helped Josh check into a rehab clinic."

He takes a drink and continues, "I can pay you 10,000 nuyen each and backstage passes to the Wounded Needles tour opening concert next month."

He looks at you all expectantly

@Father Twilight: "I dont like masheens that tell me wat to du."
@Father Twilight: "Dont we oll. Gud goin, chummer. Il be thare sune. I promiss."
------
Joker stops and looks the mature, but attractive, Indian woman over before following. "Heaven help me, father", he mutters with a smile, loud enough for Father Twilight to hear.
------
Joker firmly returns the handshake, offering a nod.
"Our pleasure, misure. Shall we get down to business?"
He puts out his cigarette in the table's ashtray and glances to his team members, a little worried that they may attract the wrong kind of attention.
------
After staring back at the fellow for a moment, he begins to reply.
"Well zat all sounds well and good, misure, but you 'aven't been clear on what you're wanting us to do."
He offers bit of smile, trying not to be insulting.
"We would be happy to help, of course, but perhaps you could be a bit more specific about this problem?"
Because he is doing his best to speak like a suit, he talks somewhat slowly and deliberately.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-15-10/2136:38>
After getting your agreement he continues, "Good. Glad you can help me. Three weeks ago Pete and I checked Josh into  a rehab clinic in Renton called the New Hope Hospice under the alias of Sid Vicious. He seemed to be doing real well and his Doctor, Dr. Anders, said that Josh was making great progress. Then yesterday Pete went to visit Josh and he was gone. No one in the clinic could tell us where he was or where he might have gone."

"I need you to find Josh and get him to finish the program or get him enrolled in another that he can finish in a couple of weeks so Wounded Needle has a couple weeks to practice before the tour starts."

He passes you a publicity photo of Josh saying, "Here is a picture of him in case you need it to show around or something."

"Any other questions I can help you with right now?"

As Father Twilight listened to the description of this newest job he couldn't help but feel a welling surge of disgust. Of course, another celebrity with an addiction. Can none of them resist the clarion call of sins of the flesh? With a sigh he pushed his glasses back up to the bridge of his nose and spoke in his quiet, soothing voice.

"The names and locations of his primary dealers would be helpful, since odds are fair he left the clinic due to a weakness of the flesh. Beginning our search with his known vice dealers would be a logical start point, aside from the exact location of this clinic."

Why was he constantly having to deal with weak reeds that broke beneath the devils temptations?

Axe’s head slowly cleared as the music ended.  The red flag was still waving at him.

"Elo chumz. Como ce va? Iv got a job n you are cordialee envited. Plase & time be low. Gud nuyen", it repeated.  The voice and icon was commlink standard, and needed to be updated.  Something sultry in brunette would be much better…

Axe logged out of the spent BTL and blinked at the harsh coffin light.  He ran his fingers through his oily black hair, climbed out of the mattress cell, and pulled on his flats.  A day’s growth of beard shadowed his face.  No time for a shower though.

The vending machines were conveniently located at the coffin hotel’s entrance.  Somebody had a real sense of humor.  Axe paid the nuyen for new flats, threw his grimy set into the recycle bin, and donned the fresh pair on his way to the bus stop.

- - - -

(At The Mogul, after the group accepts the job):

Axe nods at Father Twilight.  “Yeah, good thinkin’ F.T.”

(OOC: I record an image of the woman and Daniel McCleer.  I will perform a data search on Daniel, Josh Williams, Pete Anderson, Wounded Needle, and all names Daniel subsequently provides.)
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-16-10/2055:09>
Josh Williams is the lead singer of the rising star Goblin/techno rock fusion band Wounded Needle. Four songs off their triple platinum debut album shows that they are one of the hottest bands in North America right now. Pete Anderson is the drummer for the band. The band's roots are in the Seattle area though no one is exactly sure where.
The Trid label that is carrying the band is Tridtainment Inc.

Daniel is a low level exec who handles several bands that are up and coming. Wounded Needle being the biggest name currently.

New Hope Hospice is a rehab clinic in the Bellevue area on Seattle. It specializes in BTL addiction.

Daniel doesn't know the names of any of Josh's vice dealers.

"I think the clinic is the place to start. I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but something just didn't feel right the last time I was there."

“Mister McCleer, we need all ID info you have for Josh Williams: commcodes, SIN, access ID, MSP (Matrix Service Provider), and anything else.  Your 'link will have Josh's commcode if he called you.  Give us a commcode to reach you and Pete Anderson too.  If Tridtainment paid for Josh's MSP and ‘link, we need your authorization for the MSP to give us his commlink usage logs.”

After meeting, to group: “Prolly none of this will help, but don’t hurt to try.  Oh yeah, first thing, I gotta hit a Stuffer Shack for a super soda and box of Twinkies.”


OOC:

Save visual image of Josh's picture.

Software-spoof my access ID (again).

Data search on Dr. Anders, to include a picture.

Verify data search picture of Daniel McCleer matches the Daniel we met (easy place to obtain should be Tridtainment corporate bio.)

If information was provided, attempt to trace the data trail for Josh’s commcode and access ID, using his MSP usage logs if obtained, otherwise with public access records.

If information was not provided, data search to locate Josh’s MSP(s) and access ID(s) using his commcode(s), and then attempt to trace data trail.

Joker stared off at a couple at another table for a long moment while Axe got technical. "Yes, we will need all of that if you have it, as well as payment for one additional crew who isn't here, making the total fifty thousand Nuyen. We will contact you for an exchange as soon as we've located him. Square?"

-------------
(After meeting)
"Ten thou'... Not bad, ay? I could take a vacation... and eat some real meat for a change."
He lights up a smoke, looking to Axe.
"Whatever you need, mon ami, but the first thing is a vehicle to get there. I'm in that Horseman still."
He motions accross the street at a silver PMV with robotic arms. It looks as if you may be able to fit two people in it, but they would be uncomfortably close.
"While I still remember, If possible we should also see if Knight Errant has this guy before we do too much else. Could be he got himself picked up."

*After meeting*

"Some of us should go investigate this clinic, those of us who are less ostentatious in the daylight hours. Perhaps pose as friends hoping to place an associate of ours in their establishment?" Father Twilight suggested softly as they got outside the building, looking about to ensure that no one was paying attention to them talking.

"As far as transportation, don't look at me. God gifted me with legs to walk and eyes to see, I have never bothered to become particularly skilled in acquiring or navigating vehicles of any sort. But if we need transportation, no doubt the Lord will provide."
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Devil on <09-17-10/1632:54>
Joker flashed a goofy smile when referred to as ostentatious.

He looked up at the sky, then looked around them at their surroundings, as if expecting divine intervention.
"Well in case he don't, we should probably have a backup plan."
"Axe?"

Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Maelstrom on <09-17-10/1700:25>
Axe squinted in the light drizzle.

“Ain’t right, thinkin’ an empty belly.”

A quick AR login yielded street directions to New Hope Hospice.  “Bellevue, huh? ”

“Joker goes and checks out New Hope, but take the long ‘way round ‘cause Seattle buses are slow.  F.T. and me will hit a Stuffer Shack, take a bus into Bellevue, and find someplace close by the Hospice to wait.  On the bus I’ll check Knight Errant arrest posts to see if they have Josh Williams in custody.  Whadda ya think?

Did we get any money up front from Daniel?  Also, I don’t have my starting nuyen rolled.

(Before/During meeting)

Monkey wanders in his auctioneer business suit with a smile on his face making small talk in Indian to the waitresses. He listens quietly nodding along with his teams questions and the price. As they chat outside he tilts his head and chuckles.

"I guess I'm not that forgettable. I'll head over with you and Father, I could do with some soykaff before we start. Maybe have a look on the outside and a look around in the grounds."
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Father_Twilight on <09-17-10/2144:50>
"Perhaps I should accompany Joker with investigating the interior of this clinic? We are both human so we stick out the least, and I can simply pose as the spiritual counselor for the man we are considering placing at this establishment. If there IS something fishy about this location, I don't believe we should send anyone in there alone. Not to mention I have ways of discerning if we are being lied to."  Father Twilight offered as the others spoke of transportation. He reached beneath his jacket and removed his roomsweeper's hidden holster and covertly handed it off to Axe.

"Hold on to that for me would you? I don't believe a rehab clinic would understand the idea of a priest packing heat. Besides I have more potent methods of defense to call on if need be. The archangel Gabriel watches over me in my work."

Axe nods, slips the holster beneath his jacket and buckles it.  The lower jacket pocket hangs heavily, the outline of his own weapon apparent while he adjusts the holster.  Frowning, Axe shrugs his shoulders, trying to minimize the bulge.  "Yeah, we blend."

"Okay, F.T.  Maybe you an' Joker can keep 'links open for Monkey an' me.  You guys should get subvocal mics later.  Two words - tactical network."

Axe's mouth twists thoughtfully for a moment, and retrieves a marble-sized object from his jacket pocket.  As he stares at it, the tiny plastic-metallic compound wings unfold and the MCT Fly-Spy minidrone rises almost soundlessly from his open palm.

"Recon around the Hospice outside would be good too."

"Maybe Monkey an' me can wait in a kaf shop close by.  I monitor the minidrone an' see what I can find on the Hospice node. Whaddya think?"

OOC:
I run Analyze, Browse, Reality Filter, Scan, and Stealth programs, and cold-VR scan for New Hope Hospice.  Switch from Scan to Armor once node is located.  Intention is subscribe to the node, hacking/exploit a user account, use Reality Filter and Analyze, and then go from there once I have a clearer picture.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Devil on <09-18-10/0925:04>
Joker looked around as the gun was passed, making certain that nobody was watching them.

"Good thinkin', guys. So the reverend and myself will go to the Hospice. I'll pose as an addict -shouldn't be too hard for me- and he will pose as my priest. Heh."

Next he motioned to Axe and Monkey, while taking a drag off his smoke.

"You two will find the restaurant nearest to the Hospice and text us the location. That will serve as our rendezvous point. You'll get some food, remotely search the grounds, and collect cute waitress's comm numbers for me."

"This way if anything goes wrong we have a support team nearby."

"We'll use cabs. We can't afford to have things screwed up by a bus hijacking. Remember, this is alot of nuyen, guys. If we don't screw this up we'll be eating like kings. Fat kings."

He grinned, obviously finding himself amusing. When someone passed by on the sidewalk, giving them all a suspicious look, his expression rapidly changed.

"Alright! Let's get this show on the road, fellahs. I'm gettin' sleepy, standin' here."

He took out his comm and started to order a cab for himself and Father Twilight.

"Oh, did you wanna leave that bug drone with me for the ride, Axe ol' chummer, or are you good?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band

"Nah, I gotta keep the drone.  It'll go dead on ya."


OOC

Microdrone default is 400 meters signal range (pilot 3), 100 meters sensor range.  So, maximum ranges are 400m distance from rigger and 100m drone perception.

Post by: Father_Twilight on <09-19-10/1527:05>
"Joker, while your volunteering to pose as an addict no doubt would work, have you thought that if we bring you in they will expect you to stay? And I don't think that we want to leave you alone there, though no doubt you would benefit from the serene surrounding of a rehab clinic in the future. Perhaps you should be a concerned family member of an addict? That way they won't expect either of us to remain in their facility and it won't seem unusual that we look around and then leave afterwords. Though if you wish to volunteer to remain behind in this clinic of unknown and possibly sinister nature that could work as well. Once I leave I could return in astral form and monitor your situation from the heavenly view." Father Twilight stated as he waited for Joker to finish calling for a cab and for the team to decide which route they would pursue for this infiltration.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Devil on <09-19-10/1636:24>
Joker momentarily looked up from his commlink at Father Twilight, eyes narrowing briefly. However, he let it go, focusing on the job.
"What I would benefit from is ten grand and a long vacation on an island somewhere..with beautiful women... and... good food." His voice trailed off as he spoke, distracted by the simple act of ordering a cab. He had always been bad with tech.
"There. Should be here in a minute."
He raises his gaze, looking the group over and lowering the device.
"Alright then. I'll play the concerned brother."
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-19-10/1902:47>
As Joker continues to glare at Father Twilight the automated cab pulls up. The electronic voice says, "Where to bub?" in a perfect New York accent. At least you assume it is a good New York accent having never actually been there. You all pile in and give it a location of a small bistro a couple blocks from the New Hope Hospice. You quietly discuss the plan again to make sure you are all on the same page occasionally glancing up at the autodrone that is driving wondering if it has the ability to record what is being said. Well nothing incriminating was said so it doesn't matter. As you pile out it is 52 nuyen (if you take 2 or more cabs it is that per cab just let me know how people go)

The Father and Joker approach the New Hope Hospice and notice it is what was once a great neighborhood, but now passes for decent. There are small businesses and an apartment building on the block with the Hospice.

The only thing that attracts your attention as you walk up is the large human in synth leather who is leaning against the wall in one of the nearby alleyways. He seems to be working hard on not paying attention to the New Hope Hospice. His leathers are a purple and gold that clash in a I don't care kind of way. As you walk by your not so sure that his look isn't that of someone zoned out on something now that you look again.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Father_Twilight on <09-19-10/1923:33>
**In the Cab

"So Joker, what is your name for this engagement? I will be going by the alias of Father Gabriel Veracone. Oh, and what is your brothers name to be?" Father Twilight asks as he also updates his Commlink to show the SIN of Gabriel Veracone to anyone checking as under that persona he is also shown as a Priest of a small undisclosed parish.

**At the clinic
As Dinivin walks past the figure in synth leather he quickly switches his perception to catch the astral projection this man puts out, looking to catch a discrepency between what he would be experiancing were he zoned out, and taking a deeper look to perceive just what emotions are foremost in his aura.

In the cab:

Taking cue from Father Twilight, Axe changes his SIN to Patrick Troughton and reduces his commlink signal to three.

The Patrick (Rick) Troughton PAN profile is a clearly uneducated mish-mash of badly-structured sentences riddled with typographical errors.

Patrick is an automotive and industrial mechanic.  Most of the profile entries remain at their default "Information Unavailable" setting save "Current Employment", which reads "yeah rite", and "Hobbies and Interests", which has been updated to "WOMEN!!!".

At the Bistro you start looking for the Node to New Hope Hospice and find it easily. It has an entryway node that has general information, but no admin type functions though there is a door to a deeper part of the system it looks to be heavily fortified.

Father Twilight when you change to astral perception on your way by you see that the person is very alert and seems calm almost to the point of being uninterested. He also looks like he might have some type of body mods though you cannot really tell much in the way of what.

Post by: Darkstorm on <09-19-10/2144:22>
After receiving a text from Joker Y-Chan drives on to the Bistro to meet the others. Before stopping she'll do a quick lap to check for any unsavory types that might be watching any of the group.

Post by: Devil on <09-19-10/2213:49>
In the cab:
"Luc Lebeau, brother of BTL addict Louis Lebeau.", he responded quickly, clearly having thought this over.

At the Clinic:
Joker takes off his sunglasses and dusts himself off as they approach the building. He stops though, kneeling down to tighten a bootstrap and glancing over at the suspicious figure. Quickly he begins to subvocalize a message, sending it through to the crew's commlinks. "Monkey, Y-chan. Suspicious drug dealer type over here by the hospital. I'd like you to talk to him. See if you can't find anything out about the clinic or our missing musician... if you call that music. Try not to start any drek and watch your asses, ay?"
He sends a snapshot of the flamboyant, shifty character,(taken with his cybereyes) sending that along with the message.
After that, he simply stands up, apologizing to the priest and heading for the front door of the building.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Father_Twilight on <09-19-10/2225:03>
Father Twilight speaks softly into his commlink after Joker speaks into his.

"The figure in question may have body mods, and is extremely calm. Be careful."

As he finishes he walks with Joker through the front door of the clinic, and once in says to the receptionist,

"Hello, my name is Father Gabriel. I am here with a member of my parish looking for information about your fine facilities for a loved one of his. Is there anyone here who can speak with us and show us your establishment?"

((OOC Assuming there is a receptionist there.))

Y-Chan speaks into her com..."On the way now, guys". She checks her two pistols are secure in their holsters, double checks her katana is secure, then makes the short drive over to the hospice area to look for the target.


OOC: If nobody has a better idea, she'll drop Monkey off near the close end of the alley, then circle around to the far side to approach from that end in case he decides to run.

Post by: Tobias on <09-20-10/1251:18>
Monkey hops out of the van waiting for a few minutes to let Y-Chan get in position. Then wanders over to the human with a smile his commlink broadcasting its usual SIN of "River Bhatt". Trying to be as non-threatening as possible.

"Hello good Sir, How is it going today? I was wondering if you could answer some questions?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Darkstorm on <09-20-10/1421:30>
After dropping Monkey off, Y-Chan parks and trots down the alley from the far end to meet up with Monkey by the target.

After exiting the taxi:

As he walks to the bistro, Axe sites New Hope Hospice and sends the coordinates to the Fly-Spy microdrone.  Axe then pauses to tie his boots as he issues the drone commands and begins recording the drone’s video feed with his commlink.

The Fly-Spy buzzes off toward the hospice building as Axe heads into the bistro.


OOC

MCT Fly-Spy Drone (R3), Programs running: Clearsight (optimization 1) – 4, Defense (optimization 1) – 4

Drone Commands:
1. Send video feed to my commlink.
2. Remain within 350 meters of my commlink.
3. If attacked, retreat at full speed using full defense to hover above bistro building.
4. Perform perimeter scan of New Hope Hospice; speed: 1 meter per 10 seconds, altitude: parallel building’s lower roofline (the eves), distance: no closer than 10 meters.
5. When scan is completed, return at full speed to hover above bistro building.

Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-20-10/2000:14>
The receptionist looks up and smiles her blue eyes (I've never seen such a dark blue naturally) seems to almost sparkle in the lighting. "None of the Doctors are currently in unfortunately. If you'll take a seat I'll see if one of the nurses or interns have a few minutes to give you a tour." She gestures to a group of seats off to the side of the entryway. "Of course if they are general questions about the facility I'd be happy to answer them for you while you wait."


The fly drone does its loop around the building and finds that it looks like it was once two or maybe three residential buildings that have been expanded to all be under one roof as a main building and an West and East wing.

As Monkey and Y-Chan approach the gentleman at the front of the alley he waits until you are both about 15 meters away and calmly pushes off the wall. He moves so he can keep both of you in his vision yet the wall won't hamper his ability to react. He says, "I'm just hanging. What do you two want to hassle me for?"

He keeps his hands out away from his body as if to emphasis the fact that he isn't going for a weapon. "Let me know what you want and I'm sure we can come to some type of agreement. I have no hassle with you."

(Sorry about the double post realized I missed something with the first one)

As Monkey gets closer he realizes that the gold and purple is done like a lot of gang colors. Though he isn't placing the gang right now, and he is almost positive that there isn't a gang in this area that wears either of those colors let alone them together.

Y-Chan holds her hands away from her body to ease his nerves, and slowly steps forward a pace before coming to a stop at a non-threatening distance..."Easy, guy, we're not looking for any trouble. We're just trying to gather some information, and were hoping we could ask you a couple questions?"

The fly drone does its loop around the building and finds that it looks like it was once two or maybe three residential buildings that have been expanded to all be under one roof as a main building and an West and East wing.

(OOC, a few extra questions:)

Are there visible exterior cameras or security measures (doors, windows, the grounds)?

Are there additional doors (at least emergency exits), and if so, what types of locks/maglocks?

Is there a parking area dedicated for staff/visitors?
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-20-10/2111:37>
The fly drone doesn't pick up any external cameras. The windows seem to have some sort of mechanical lock on the inside. There is a back exit that has a palm reader on it, and another scanner of some sort. There is also a small parking lot that has room for two maybe three vehicles and is currently empty.

There isn't any parking out front for visitors though the neighborhood seems to allow curb side parking or else the people parked down the block just don't care if they are legally parked or not

The receptionist looks up and smiles her blue eyes (I've never seen such a dark blue naturally) seems to almost sparkle in the lighting. "None of the Doctors are currently in unfortunately. If you'll take a seat I'll see if one of the nurses or interns have a few minutes to give you a tour." She gestures to a group of seats off to the side of the entryway. "Of course if they are general questions about the facility I'd be happy to answer them for you while you wait."
Joker offers her a wry, friendly smile as he nears, having just come through the doors. "Hoi." By the time Father Twilight started to speak, Joker had already checked her for a wedding/engagement ring or a nametag.

"Thanks." He turns away, then acts as if he's thought of something and turns back. "Hey, is it true you have all kinds of famous people stay here?" He leans onto the counter-top casually, resting his head against palm and curled fingers. Purple eyes peering into hers searchingly, a trace of a smile forms on his lips.

Monkey nods along to Y-Chan and then tilts his head over the colours the guy is wearing. After a few moments he takes a wild guess.

"You have a friend inside?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-21-10/1911:54>
He looks at you with a puzzled look on his face.
Monkey says,"You know the clinic."
"Ohhhh. Is that what the place is. No chummer I'm just hanging out you know how it is." He gives you a tight lipped grin. "How about you? You have friends inside?"
Somehow something he is saying just doesn't seem to vibe right, but you cannot put your finger on it. He seems to not have a care in the world and all day to not worry about it as he leans back up against the wall.

He looks over at Y-Chan, "What types of questions I ain't no ones snitch."
He looks you over and continues, "Not that you look like a narc or anything anyhow."

The receptionist looks back up from the paperwork and laughs a gentle easy laugh. "Don't I wish. No we haven't ever had anyone famous here that I know of, and I check in everyone who comes through that door, and have since the place opened last year."

Her name tag identifies her as Kathy, and her AR profile says that she is single looking for Mr. Right. Looking into her eyes as she talks you don't think they are cybered, but that she probably has some high end contacts of some sort that have the ability to change the iris color.

"That's too bad. I was hoping you had some wiz celebrity stories. Still, I bet you work with some pretty interesting people." He seems to be trying to strike up conversation with her, showing interest in a casual, friendly, and workplace appropriate manner. Meanwhile his sharp eyes scan her features, reading her expression for information.

Father Twilight watches the receptionist with a look of polite interest while his companion chats her up, all the while switching to an astral perception and looking for any clues of nervousness, aggression, or any other markers that would lead him to believe the girl is misleading him with her information. At the same time he sweeps his gaze across everything he can see, keeping himself attuned to the astral in order to hopefully get advance warning if anyone approaches who is more then they seem, as he waits for whomever would be providing their tour.

Father Twilight senses that the receptionist is telling the truth as she makes small talk with Joker. It seems like she is trying to subtly steer the conversation away from certain things and topics.
He senses nothing magical or out of place in the clinic waiting room.

Outside the guys face lights up when Monky mentions Josh. "Chummer, you are friends of Josh Williams, the Josh Williams of Wounded Needle? No way you are trying to kid me right?" He seems to physically relax even more as he looks at the two of you

Axe finishes his VR search of the Hospice node, stretches, and swallows some more of his soykaf (which wasn't half bad).

A smile crosses Axe's face. Well, as long as I'm here...

"No chummer sorry I haven't. I'll keep an eye out and let you know. Some of my friends hang out in the area a lot. I'm going to go try and catch up with them and see if they have. That would be so frosty if they had."

Axe's commlink competes for attention against the dessert and wins by a narrow margin.

The target in the alley didn't have anything too useful to say. He didn't seem 'bad', but was very elusive. Supposedly he's going to keep an eye out for Josh.

Axe frowns at the message, and responds, "Y-Chan, take a video shot of the guy now if you can without him knowing it, and send it to me, or at least describe him."

Axe commands the Fly-Spy microdrone to maneuver laterally to the ally (OOC: using Chan's commlink location if possible) while sending the video feed to my commlink.


OOC:
I will try to locate the man with the video feed, and have the drone shadow him.  If successful, I'll inform the group of my actions and follow 100-200 meters behind the drone.

As the person in the alley starts off he turns back and says, "Chummer I almost forgot. How can I contact you if I find out something about Josh?"

"People call me Timithy. Yeah I'll be sure to let you know if I find out anything."

He walks off down the alley. The fly spy following behind him. Axe has to hurry after paying his tab at the bistro to get into position to follow behind the fly spy. He is able to parallel the route staying one block over. "Timithy" goes about 10 blocks straight and then after looking around to be sure he isn't being followed (at least you assume that is why he looked all around and paused at the door.) he ducks into a warehouse building.

Kathy "I get off at 8PM." She says with a broad smile, "But if your brother might be coming here I can't see you. It is against policy to get involved with any of the patients or their families so that there isn't a conflict of interest."  She waits a second bats her eyelashes at him and continues, "and your brother's health is the most important thing isn't it?"

Joker is about to reply when the door on into the building opens and a 7 foot tall female ork wallks out (at least you think she is female) when the nurse says, "Hi, I'm Linda. You wanted a tour? It will have to be a quick one I have rounds in 15 minutes, but I'm free until then. Can't be late because our patients well being is what is most important."

She smiles a big toothy grin and says, "Right this way."

The three of you head down a short hall that intersects another going off in either direction. She ambles on saying, "The patients rooms are down the two corridors here with the private treatment areas beyond them." Without really breaking stride she continues straight ahead. After another 10 meters the hallway ends in double doors. "Here we have the lounge. I need to ask you to please not to rile up any of the patients when we go inside."

She pushes open the door and it is a fairly large room with a long table at one end that has several people sitting around it playing some kind of card game with real cards. Wow you didn't know they still made actual cards still. In the far corner there are 7 seats in a semi-circle around the trid which is currently showing one of the daytime soaps.

Father Twilight moves away from his tour guide to the table of people playing cards, activating his astral perception as he does so.

"Greetings my children. I am Father Gabriel, and I am looking at this establishment for a member of my parish. Would you say this place is helping you with your problems? Is it lightening your load and helping you move past your troubles?"

Joker casts a wink and a sly smile to the receptionist as he turns, following a few paces behind the two. He pays close attention to each detail of the building as the walk. When they get to the recreation room he lets Father Twilight do the talking, an air of awkward reassurance about him.
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-27-10/2120:00>
As Father Twilight walks up to the table one of the guys says, "I Ben joining us? He loves playing Spades. We should see if he wants to play."

The man to his right replies, "Dan, no one has seen Ben in a couple weeks remember."

A look of enlightenment shows on Dan's face "Oh yeah I forgot. The memory isn't what it used to be."

Using your second sight you see that they all look relaxed and carefree. When they start talking about Ben you glance back at the nurse and see she is worried about something suddenly.

"Greetings my children. I am Father Gabriel,............." Father Twilight says.

"I'm Jack." The one who reminded Dan says as he rises slightly to shake Father Twilight's hand. Always good to meet a man of the cloth. He extends his hand and shakes it with a firm handshake. "Dr. Anders has done wonders for me. He says if I continue improving I should be able to leave and return to society in a couple more weeks."

"How long have you been here my son?"

"Just under a month. Friday will be my one month mark as a matter of fact."  He sits back down and starts dealing the cards to the three of them sitting there.

The nurse steps over and says, "We should let them play their game. Why don't you follow me and we will finish the tour. It is almost time for my rounds."

She quietly leads you back towards the entryway and asks, "Are there any questions I can help you with?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Father_Twilight on <09-29-10/2031:11>
"Certainly. What are your treatment methods here? I have heard of some places like this which use, unorthadox, treatment methods. I wish to ensure that any member of my flock that I advise to visit a facility like this will be treated for both his body and his soul." Father Twilight said as he followed the nurse.

Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-29-10/2049:53>
Father Twilight sees her aura shine with honest happiness as she replies, "Here at the New Hope Hospice we always have the patients well being in mind. The treatment methods are state of the art, but never at the risk of the patient. As far as exact treatment methods it depends on which of the three doctors is working with the patient. Dr Anders is doing wonders with BTL and chip addictions restoring patients self worth and confidence as well as helping them through the physical pitfalls of addiction. Dr Jones also has a great success rate though he deals more with addictions of drugs. Dr Peterson is working on finding new treatments for those who have become addicted to magically active or enhanced drugs. What type of addiction is your friend battling?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Devil on <09-30-10/1047:02>
He quickly cuts in before Father Twilight can answer.

"A little of everything, Doc. He just takes whatever he can get his hands on, I think." Joker's tone holds mild sorrow as well as derision directed towards his fictional brother.

"Could definitely use some of that self worth and confidence... and help through them pitfalls. ...What's your personal opinion 'bout this Dr. Anders? He any good?"
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <09-30-10/2006:25>
Nurse Linda seems a bit confused at first then figures out that Joker was referring to her when he said Doc and replies, "I think that Dr. Anders is very good at helping addicts find their way back to a more normal life. I don't believe he is religious at all or if he is he keeps it to himself. I'm sorry to cut you off, but I really must be getting to my rounds."

A gentleman walks up and says, "Yes you had better do that Linda. I'm tired of having to do all of your grunt work just because you don't want to. Just because I'm an orderly doesn't mean I have to do all of your slop work." He continues down the hall without waiting for a response.

Linda leads you on out into the waiting room and thanks you again for thinking of the New Hope Hospice and then closes the door.

The receptionist, Kathy, says "I hope Linda was able to give you a good tour. Are there any other questions I can help you with?"

Joker smiles at Kathy as he and Father Twilight head out the door. The two have just made the sidewalk when Joker calls Monky on his link. "Meet us at the Bistro and let's go over what we have learned so far."

Monky and Y-Chan head back to the Bistro. You all meet back and start discussing your next move and getting some much needed food. After a half an hour of chowing and talking the waitress asks about desserts  when Y-Chan's comlink sounds letting him know he has an incoming call. He steps aside to take it.

The rugged face of Jenny, his Knight Errant officer contact, fills the screen. The serious look on her face tells him instantly this isn't an invite to dinner. "What the frag have you done?"
After a pause and studying his puzzled face she continues, "You have upset someone with some heat behind them. I just had to deflect two different inquires about you. I stalled them for about an hour or two, but thought you needed a heads up."

(O.O.C. Axe if you want to stay by the warehouse with your drone instead of going back to the bistro just let me know)

"People call me Timithy. Yeah I'll be sure to let you know if I find out anything."

He walks off down the alley. The fly spy following behind him. Axe has to hurry after paying his tab at the bistro to get into position to follow behind the fly spy. He is able to parallel the route staying one block over. "Timithy" goes about 10 blocks straight and then after looking around to be sure he isn't being followed (at least you assume that is why he looked all around and paused at the door.) he ducks into a warehouse building.

Axe messages a full update to the group, including the GPS coordinates of the warehouse building.  I stay here for now.  I raise the drone altitude sufficiently to get a 360-degree aerial view of the building.  Then I perform a data search in public records for information about the building while waiting and watching.

Message to group: "Keep me in the loop, guys, and don't run off on me."

I will inform the group of all information I gather and any events that unfold.

Post by: Walks Through Walls on <10-03-10/0946:31>
Axe hunkers down in an alley a block from the warehouse as he takes the fly spy up to get a 360 view of the warehouse. It takes a minute that seems like an eternity to your hypersenses as it climbs and finds the correct angle for what you want. While waiting you start up the search programs for who owns this building? come to me data precious data. You can run but you can't hide.

The warehouse takes up most of the city block with a small stuffer shack on the far corner. As you wait for your search program to run its magic you notice that there have been three or four people come and go from the warehouse in just the last couple of minutes. Got the munchies huh?  you think as one guy walks out of the warehouse and into the stuffer shack.

Just then you hear two voices five feet off to your left and growing louder. You scrunch down No where to hide better. I'm seen for sure The two men walk right in front of you. They don't even notice you from the lack of reaction from either of them.

"Yeah I hear that he has decided that picketing the clinic is doing some good. Why else would they keep calling Knight Errant to run us off."
"True that brother. I just hope I get to be part of the next special operation."
"Yeah that would be cool."

Then they are out of earshot. They don't even look around as they open the door and walk into the warehouse. You didn't even realize you were holding your breathe until you let it out slowly.

Your comlink beeps in your ear. You open up the vocal only channel expecting it to be the preliminaries on your search program instead Two-bytes' (one of your Seattle hacking underground "friends") voice startles you, "Hey chummer hope the code is true and your thoughts pure."

You take a second to recover and reply, "There is nothing truer than cord, but drek the pure thoughts." finishing the identification cypher.
"You ok chummer?"
"Yeah why you asking?"
"Well you sounded out of it there at first."
"Sorry just caught up in something and wasn't expecting your buzz is all"
"Null problem. I called because you chummers with a dude named Y-Chan yeah?"
You pause not sure how to answer.
"Don't have to answer just wanted to give you a heads up. Someone ran a pretty complex background search on him a few minutes ago. Just wanted to make sure you were in the loop. Talk at you later." and he ends the call.

Your data search scrolls up the beginning data. It has peeled back three layers but there are more still. It looks like the warehouse is owned by an individual, but you aren't sure who yet.

Joker sits back in his chair, eating a piece of pie, drinking his beer, and watching Monkey and Father Twilight. When he is finished with his pie he wipes his mouth with a napkin and finally speaks subvocally to the whole team.
"Maybe it's time to go check out the warehouse. What do you think? Axe, can I get schematics or security info please?"
He stands up, walking outside with his beer to smoke before he leaves. Y-chan is talking into her commlink a short distance away.

((00C: -10 Nuyen probably for the pie and beer. By the way, Walks, I'm pretty sure Y-chan is a girl. :) ))

Jenny says, "Sorry I can't really don't know. They were being run through a national database, and routed around a couple times before they got there. That is why I was able to give them the run around for you. It wasn't an official request just kind of a what is known about this person kind of thing."

(O.O.C Axe's contact could have been using dude as a general term for people Axe hangs out with or it could be that the contact didn't know that Y-Chan was female   :) )


Axe starts running the program for the schematics, and figures it will take about 15 minutes to find them and try to verify if there have been modifications made to the building.

Axe it could be faster or more in depth if you want to drop the other search program. Just let me know

You get pictures of them, but they don't show the faces very well since they kind of walked by you, but were never really looking your way which is probably part of the reason they didn't see you.

It is a basic warehouse layout with a large loading dock door at one end, a man door next to it, and basically one big open space besides an office off to one side

Axe's info search on the warehouse comes back as owned by one Vinny "Moon Dog" Fanchelli. He is the son of a very wealthy socialite who made his money trading stocks and bonds, gold and other rare metals. The son has been arrested a couple of times on minor vandalism type charges and one of the tabloid trids have him involved with neo-anarchists.

He bought the warehouse about a year ago and did some type of renovations work on it, but the building inspector was never called for the final signoff so there aren't any official plans to call up. The work was done by a couple of small local construction firms and with a couple hours of time you are sure you could call up information about them
Title: Re: (I.C) Cleaning Up the Band
Post by: Walks Through Walls on <10-09-10/2241:52>
Axe continues his surveillance of the warehouse and sees that there are more people coming. They seem to be of every race, and ethnicity though humans are the majority. He relays to the group that there seems like there might be some type of meeting about to go on. The team in the Bistro talks for about 15 minutes trying to decide what to do when Y-Chan's comlink pings.

She answers it to Timithy's face. Hoi chummer. You weren't jerking me around it really is him. I have some friends who are into some radical group and I just saw your guy here. I am at a warehouse at (he gives you the address of the warehouse that Axe is watching). I hope you remember me later."

Now that she looks a bit closer Y-Chan realizes that he is in what looks like a bathroom stall.

"Someones coming I got to go" and the link goes dead and is turned off about 15 seconds later.

Command the microdrone to fly the building perimeter, perception for surveillance and security systems, feed to my commlink.  If there is an unguarded opening into the building (i.e. window, grating, vent), use the drone's audio and visual perception - but don't send it any further inside than absolutely necessary.

Data Search "Timithy" name and face, starting with public-access Knight Errant police postings.

Data Search Vinny "Moon Dog" Fanchelli, including the neo-anarchists affiliation report.

The microdrone starts its recon of the building. The lack of security is so glaring that you do a second pass afraid that someone was really sneaky in how they installed the system. After 15 minutes of looking at grimy windows, disrepaired gutters, and rotting leaves you find a window that was left open. The drone hovers up and the camera looks inside.

The warehouse looks slightly larger than you expected and the sound seems to echo a bit. There are several conversations going on, but with a great voice analysis program you could probably start to pull apart the conversations. There is a make shift stage set up at one end of the warehouse with a crude wired sound system. (how 20th century) You think that there are maybe 50 to 75 people in the building at the moment. It looks like they are gathering for some sort of meeting

"Will do. Keep me updated."

Joker uses his commlink to connect to his vehicle's autopilot, telling it to come to his location at top legal speed by using the grid. The silver Horseman makes its way to the bistro from the Mogul. When it arrives, he sets his empty beer bottle on the curb and hops in. changing to pilot mode, then shifting the thing back into run mode for speed, He zips down the alley-ways towards Axe's location.

((00C: I'm assuming Axe has given us his location. I don't think any of us have the right programs to find him without him showing us where he is. By the way, whatever this gathering is, I'm guessing it's probably going to be bad. Possibly the kinda thing we need to interrupt. The son is involved with neo-anarchists.))

(O.O.C. Axe has given you his location so that's no problem. The son????  I think you have mixed up adventures. Josh is the lead singer from Wounded Needle.)

You make it to Axe in a couple of minutes. From what he has seen Axe thinks the gathering is probably going to get going fairly quickly.

((I'm not talking about josh. The son of the warehouse owner. Did I misread something?))

The son of the tycoon is the one who owns the building. He is about early 20s to give you an idea of age. (think of the Paris Hilton type only male)

((00C:
Okay, I found what I was referencing.
Axe's info search on the warehouse comes back as owned by one Vinny "Moon Dog" Fanchelli. He is the son of a very wealthy socialite who made his money trading stocks and bonds, gold and other rare metals. The son has been arrested a couple of times on minor vandalism type charges and one of the tabloid trids have him involved with neo-anarchists.
So, yeah I misread who the owner was, but the son might be a neo-anarchist. :)
Sorry for my confusion.))

You all arrive a block away from Axe's location and pile out of the SUV. Axe notices that it looks like the crowd is starting to congregate like whatever is going on is about to start. If you want to do something before they start you need to act soon.

Joker gets a text from your Johnson wanting to know what progress you have made so far

Axe sees on his cam that the crowd parts as a figure walks up to the make shift stage. He takes a mike and announces, "Welcome all of you to today's meeting. I know we are going to have a fun time. As you all know the man keeps us all down. ........" He continues on his rant of the evils of the corporations and how there is a need for a new world order. You see that Josh is in the front row of the crowd as you try to pan around
