Tink will give everyone his info, and take theirs.  On his way back to his shop he does the data search

Tink's data search turns up quite a bit about Mrs. le Mar: she's a French socialite with an enormous trust fund formerly married to an equally-rich aristocrat. Since her divorce, she's turned her resources to "making the Matrix a safer place". It's your standard "Protect the Children" rhetoric tinged with an unmistakeable sense that she thinks she knows better than everyone else how they should live. She's made outreaches to several megacorps about supporting stricter Matrix laws which, of course, they have been all too eager to agree with. She seems like an average aristocrat with too much money and time on her hands looking for something to keep her occupied.

Draco and Shark, however, hear quite a different story from the shadows. The way their contacts tell it le Mar is a pawn of the Corporate Court, a proxy they can use to "independently" protest for more authority over the Matrix. She considers shadowrunners to be lowbrow scum beneath her attention and has a particular hatred for heavily-cybered individuals. However, lately she's been hiring runners to investigate dead zones and other sites with unusual or absent Matrix architecture.

As for Three Star, his contact Lang does know of a few things that fit the bill: atropine, cyanide, or, if he's feeling creative, nova scorpion venom. Atropine has legitimate medical uses and is the easiest to get; the other two are illegal.
[spoiler]I'm just going to cheat and stick the information everyone obtained into one post, so there . As for Diego, the availability and cost of his special orders are on page 84 of arsenal. Fang could obtain them for him with the normal contact rules or he could try to get them himself.[/spoiler]

"Sounds like someone I need to watch myself around.  Thanks for the info."

[Chrona]

"No no no, that shall not do Lang. Those are all much to fast, i need something I can slip someone over a long time."

[Retrokinesis]

"Ahh, Mr. Three Star, then what you seek is arsenic. It in fact requires multiple doses over an extended period to be truly effective. Often, the victim won't even know they are being poisoned. It's even legal for pest-control purposes, although it still requires a license. I've heard of achieving similar results with low quantities of uranium though that is far more expensive and likely to have you branded as a terrorist if discovered..."

[Chrona]

"Yes let's save the uranium for a bigger problem, tell me when you have some, good day Lang."

[umraefein]

"Thanks for the info mi corazon. What's your take on this? Anything to worry about, or is this one biz as usual? Also, can you try to find out more about a runner for me? Goes by the name Three Star... seems like a bit of a loose cannon. I need to know what I'm dealing with. If you have time, run the names Marduk and Shark as well. They seem to be the main party of the team. There's a hacker as well, goes by Tink. Anything you can find will help. Muchos gracias me encanta."

Ignazio gets home, soaked to the core, and strips out of his wet clothes. He towels himself off, and grabs some dry clothes. Then he tries to patch himself up with the medkit he bought with him.

[spoiler]First Aid: (LOG+Medkit [6] {2})- 8d6.hits(5)=1[/spoiler]

Despite how well stocked his medkit is, he doesn't make any headway on the roughing up he took from all his earlier spell casting.

[Chrona]

An hour and a half later Three Star returns to the bar, takes up a stool, not saying anything to Steelfish behind the counter, and just sits there.

[RHat]

"Oh, hey, while I've got you, would you mind checking on the guys I seem to be saddled with for this run?  Looks to be a couple amateurs going by Three Star and Draco, some guy named Marduk, and a tech guy to round it out who goes by Tink.  I'm a little worried about the first guy, to be honest."

Tink attempts to cover his tracks and check out his new partners

Whether by contacts or Matrix searches, you now have at least some information on each of your compatriots. See the OOC post for exactly what you have.

Back at Hart's, Steelfish is clearly busy with AR windows behind the bar based on the way his arms are moving. Either that or he's attempting to bring the whole place down with ritual magic. He turns to Three Star and Marduk, the only ones still at the bar, and grins: "Heads up, y'all. Looks like your little party is going to be plus one. Johnson requested a specialist at the last minute and I think I've obliged him..."

[Bywhan]

Ghost grinned to himself as he pressed the pedal of his custom modified Chrysler-Nissan Patrol-1. Weaving in and out of traffic as he sped north towards Seattle, easily sliding around cars and trucks. He pulled off of the highway and drove towards the bar. He was sure at least one of his potential crew would still be there. He hadn't gotten any serious info on who he would be running with but he knew Steelfish would have some contact info for him. Ghost didn't feel much like getting on his com, he shunned his commlink along with most other modern technology. He felt it cheapened life as a whole if you couldn't experience it with your own five senses. Shaking his head at nothing special he mentally keyed up his radio and drove a little fast, the beat of the music carrying him on.

[Chrona]

Three Star waved his hand lazily in response to the news. "Just in case we continue to not get along, eh? Let I, Three Star, guess... he's a melee specialist."

[Retrokinesis]

He grinned, "A former NAN Wildcat no less. Play nice, hmm? He should be here soon. Besides, there's been some changes. Johnson thought you might need his skills".

[Chrona]

"He must be more than some regular PhysAd or Street Sam otherwise i don't see why he'd be needed with me around."
