Shade smiles wide and in her thick Slavic accent says, "Too cute, Alright. She is listed under the name Yu Jin and its a CAS SIN."

[Operator]

I've been quiet for far too long.

Etiquette for moving into Shade and Nadir's meeting (8d6.hits(5)=1) First roll is 'meh', going to Edge it for better first impression.
Edge reroll (7d6.hits(5)=2) 2 more hits for a total of 3. Loads better.

Remaining Edge: 3/4

Operator quietly moves out of his seat, approaching Nadir and Shade to introduce himself in a non-intrusive fashion. Or, if it was intrusive, he'd play it like he was cooler than Fujiyama's summit.

"Hoi, Nadir. You were gonna get around to introductions, right?" Speaking English with a smooth Japanese accent, Operator pulled up a chair to the table and took a seat before either of them could raise objections. He sat to Nadir's left and slightly further away from the table, maintaining a calm voice that carried the bearing of a courteous and experienced businessman. "You must be miss Shade. I'm Operator, an associate of Nadir, and I share his concerns for our person of interest. If I may, I'd like to ask you a question or two about her."

[Redwulfe]

Shade looks up at Operators approach, I assumed the cute one had backup but I did not assume they were so bold, lucky I like bold. If favor is still the payment I will answer your questions, but I must warn you I know little besides what I have already given.

[Operator]

Operator nodded his head in agreement. "I find those to be fair terms. If you have seen Miss Kiku recently, I would inquire of her general mood - if she was calm and in control, agitated, nervous, or experiencing any sort of outward emotion."

[Teyl_Iliar]

<@ Op>I was already planning on paying her place a visit. I figure we split the team again, 3 with you 3 with me to get inside her place and check things out. I believe Korbin was planning on joining me so the apartment's got 2 people going already, who else should go with us? Slip pulls up the Plans Nina acquired from her contact, studying them for weaknesses while the others talk. logic 5 security design 4 =9DP (9d6.hits(5)=3)

[Operator]

<@Slip> I'd suggest you take B.B. to cover the Matrix angle. If he agrees, that will lend Nadir and Nina to my aid while I look further into Kiku's whereabouts.

[Redwulfe]

Shade looks at operator and smiles. I have not seen her since she picked up her product from me two weeks ago, she seemed cautious and slightly distracted but nothing to be too alarmed with. She picked up her product and left nothing more.
It was not the first time I have dealt with her. she has to travel allot for her father so she gets these types of things from time to time especially if she wants no one to know that she is traveling.

[Operator]

<@Team> Nadir, you sly dog. I'd say she likes you. Let's get a screamsheet on what Shade had to say about Kiku and plan accordingly.

"That fact says many good things about your work, Miss Shade. I have no further questions." Operator shared a brief glance with Nadir, and the two men rose up from their seat. Operator waited a second to reinforce the subtle perception that he was just playing backup.

Without missing a beat, Nadir returned Shade's dangerous smile. "If you'll pardon us, my colleagues are expecting me in a few minutes. Should I leave you a number for that favor?"

[Redwulfe]

Shade looks to Nadir and smiles, I've got your access ID, so I'll be in touch.

[Operator]

Nadir takes his leave of absence, walking out of Ebey's through the front door. Operator lingers for a few moments, looking over the sleeves of his coat for perceived stains. "Before I leave, I have a word of caution to pass on to you and Mister Reno. If anyone else comes asking about Kiku, they're not associated with Nadir."

Op gestures towards Reno with with his eyes, then returned his chair to its original position. "I thank you for your time, Miss Shade, and look forward to our next meeting." Giving a short bow to the lady, the Asian bodyguard quickly departed from Ebey's.

<Nadir@Team> The fake ID is based in the CAS, under the name Yu Jin. B.B., can you pull up any matches on that?

[Kontact]

Taking the message as a signal that this info fount had dried up, B.B. headed toward where Operator had parked before.

<<@Operator:  You want me to hack the Global SIN registry?  Right now?  Without any prep?  Who do you think I a..aaah, just messing, I'll do it.  Mind if we go somewhere busier and filled with less important people?  I want to make tracking a bit harder on them.>>

[Operator]

<@B.B.> I know of two places closer to the ground. Both are in Auburn; one is Casey's sports bar, the other would be the Clone Zone mall - the one hawking discount electronics. Either of those sound busy enough to you?

Operator casually walked over to his bike, flexing his fingers in anticipation. This night was promising to be very interesting.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Slip enters the bar as Operator an Nadir stand to leave. She finishes her drink, makes sure her tab is clear, puts on her coat and walks out of the bar. Once outside she starts her bike up.

<@ op:> Are we splitting up to cover more ground now or are we moving to somewhere else first? <@ team> I've got a spare seat if someone needs a ride.

[Operator]

Hmm, Korbin's player has been offline for a few. That makes our exit from Ebey's feel a little awkward.

<@Team> Let's split up now. We need to get some good eyes in Kiku's penthouse - that's your calling, Slip. B.B. can support you there, and either Nadir or Oliver can follow the astral trails. Whichever of you two doesn't go to Bellevue, come with me and Nina - I'll go hunt up some streetside dirt.

Operator buckled on his helmet. Subconsciously, his eyes ran over the bike frame for the slightest showing of dirt and grease.  <<@BB: Needn't be too fancy, omae, I just need a hint of where Yu Jin was last spotted. I'd personally stop at Casey's or another lowbrow establishment as you suggested and trace our skip, then ride over to richie town.>>

[Sichr]

Nina sits behind Operator, trying to find a comfortable position on the bike, watching Bellvue team preparing for leave
Just be carefull there. I have a strange feeling about that apartement...even if its in highly secured building...hm...I dont know why. Watch your back.
Then she takes out her new commlink and dial the number of a beat cop she was meeting from time to time during her emergency shifts. Sometimes some of his mates need a care, sometimes suspects need higher motivation to speak...and that is where her knowledge of chemistry comes handy. Everybody remains silent about those things, well he is not a bad guy, for a cop, and maybe he could pay her back some favours...
Good evening to the arms of law. Hows the service going? ... Yeah, I know you cannot tell me the truth Listen, man. I had a patient lately, everythink ok, she paid her check, no problems with her. Well Ive been doing some analysis later and I need to find out some more informations about her to complete exact anamnesis. She was CAS citizen, and she probably left the country now, and It looks like the commcode she gave me has expired, IMO just a temporary account for the time of her visit. Would you be able to dig something out from your databases? Her name is Yu Jin, and as I said before, she was CAS citizen, so possibly she would not have a great history here in Seattle, which is exactly what interrests me. I know you cannot abuse your access for private issues, well I believe you know your way around. I would also compensate you for your efforts, if I get what I need...Ok...call me back if you find anything. Thank you so far..
