*****Recap of Last Session*****
The team has captured one of the Asian hitmen that ambushed them in the stuffer shack and retired to a parking lot in the shadow of an abandoned office building to interogate him.
Several of the runners have taken turns gathering information in their own styles. The Asian man has confirmed that a seoulpa ring leader named "Cho" sent him and the others to kill the team. The hitman has also provided an address where he was to pick up payment for the job, it's a warehouse deep in the Tacoma sprawl. Oscar has retrieved an LTG number that was used to contact the Asian man and set up the hit.
Now Doc has used his magic to lay open his mind enough for one question. Now that he's seen a picture of Akihana the team seems inclinded to have Doc ask him if he's seen her before.
Since the hit, the Asian man has been knocked out, pistol whipped, caught running, his mental defenses ripped open twice, and had his knee cap shot off. He's been reduced to begging for his family's life in an almost constant string of near gibberish.
Local time is 2:15 pm. True to Seattle, rain pours down on the runners as they mill about in the parking lot.
*****End Recap*****
[8:52:53 PM] DC "it seems that this 'Cho' is our next target for information?"
[8:53:22 PM] DC "or at least his lackies at the warehouse"
[9:01:08 PM] * Vince waves his pistol at the Asian man "Maybe another blown out knee cap might help him remember."
[9:01:18 PM] Oscar "i did happen to hack the cams at the warehouse it looked like light to moderate security."

[9:20:16 PM] * Doc walks away from the man and gestures to the group for there attention "He has never seen her guys he dosen't know who she is."
[9:20:57 PM] Asian_man "You are a coward who beats little children!" ::he says as he spits blood at Vince, but falls short::
[9:21:00 PM] * Vince gets clsoer to Doc "Well ask him if he heard anythign about her or somethin'."
[9:21:19 PM] * DC takes her fingers out of his nose and wipes off her fingers with a cloth

[9:25:05 PM] Vince "ure, why not give him a blanket and a nice cup of soycaf, he won't run away..."
[9:25:36 PM] DC "that isn't much of a possibility now"
[9:25:50 PM] Vince "Thought so."
[9:28:06 PM] Oscar "those guards two humans wearing armor vests and a troll caring a combat shotgun wearing an armor jacket, all of them are wearing street cloths."
[9:28:33 PM] Asian_man "I hope Cho kills you all. Cheese will come for you, he will kill the fat one there." ::he motions with his head to indicate Vince::
[9:28:56 PM] Doc "Guys this guy doesn't know anything about her we can question all night but he still won't know anything."
[9:29:04 PM] Oscar "and the humans are holding AK-97's"
[9:29:16 PM] Vince "He'll melt if I got something to say about that.."
[9:29:44 PM] Oscar to asian man "how much were you paid to kill us?"
[9:32:03 PM] Asian_man "Frag you too!" ::he continues in chinese, but it seems fairly obvious from his expressions he is insulting you::
[9:32:35 PM] * Vince looks around, for any unwanted visitors or curious folk.
[9:33:31 PM] DC "listen, you can insult us all you want but at least we were not such a coward, that we used a mother as a shield infront of her own children"
[9:34:25 PM] * Vince smiles while looking around "She's got you there."
[9:35:09 PM] Asian_man ::Sneers at DC::
[9:35:59 PM] * Vince turns back to face the group "So is he useful , or can we dispose of him now ?"
[9:36:00 PM] Asian_man "Yes, your all very brave....when your not beating a cripple, tied up, and threating his children!"
[9:36:30 PM] * Vince smiles "Cho's got your by the balls, His men will get your kids, not us."
[9:37:18 PM] Asian_man "You, ugly man. You are a coward, shoot me now or do you have to ask permission?"
[9:38:23 PM] Vince "Shoot an unarmed men in cold blood? What a lowly attack! I think I"ll let you live while I go to change suit.."
[9:39:31 PM] Asian_man ::Spits after Vince:: "Coward!"
[9:40:30 PM] Asian_man ::Looks around at the others:: "I will say nothing more. You will kill me regardless. Who will be the coward to shoot a helpless man?"
[9:41:14 PM] Vince "We'll be going after Cho, I"m more of a man thant you worm..C"mon guys, let's leave the man alone..and living in the Barrens..I"m sure who ever's gonna replace Cho will infrom you that your family got brutally murdered by random thughs in the old country.."
[9:44:26 PM] * Vince holsters his pistol and gets in the van.
[9:44:32 PM] DC "they aren't going to die, by dealing with the men that he has. most likly they will be force into slavery of some sort, that is if history is any indication of how things will go"
[9:45:43 PM] Doc "Depends if they are male or female may be sold into prostituion
[9:45:46 PM] Asian_man ::His eyes narrow and he says something menicingly in Chinese::
[9:47:01 PM] DC "but that would have happened anyways, orginizations such as cho's are often big on promises but they would have thrown you at danger after danger all the while dangling the family over him, untill he died.
[9:47:26 PM] Vince "Yeah, those bums got no respect."
[9:49:41 PM] * Manzazzuu , recognising there isn't much more he can do here, takes Naroko and goes to sit in his car.
[9:49:55 PM] Manzazzuu "Let me know when you guys are done with him." He says to the others.
[9:51:36 PM] Oscar "Hey DC could you tell if this man is a mage or something like that?"
[9:51:58 PM] * DC looks at the man in astral space
[9:57:20 PM] Doc "He is a mundie I checked."
[9:58:05 PM] DC not much, else about him
[9:59:24 PM] Doc "Bit of cyber but that is it really."
[10:01:55 PM] Asian_man ::he begins to look drowsy, his eyes flutter trying to keep open::
[10:02:24 PM] DC "I don't see what killing him now would do, I say we stop his bleeding send him on his way, maybe even give him a good excuse to tell his boss"
[10:02:50 PM] * Asian_man passes out
[10:03:41 PM] Pele "I think that is all we will ever get out of him."
[10:03:52 PM] Vince "Let's put bullets in him and be on our way..He knows some of our names, that's never good."
[10:04:26 PM] DC "I have a feeling that whoever sent him knows that already"
[10:04:54 PM] Vince "Yeah, well I"ll sleep easier knowling that he' dead and won't come ahunting us alter on."
[10:05:29 PM] * DC throws up her hands and goes into manny's car

[10:06:42 PM] * Pele heads to his bike
[10:06:48 PM] Manzazzuu "They done yet?" He asks DC as she gets into his car. Then he pulls his gun out of the glove compartment of his vehicle, and stows it into his longcoat. "I want this job -over-."
[10:07:48 PM] Oscar "Plus i think he is about to die anyway."
[10:07:54 PM] * Doc walks over to the asain guy and pulls out his med kit knelling down he begins to stops the bleeding and stablize the mans health.
[10:08:17 PM] Vince "Don't waste your suplies Doc, I"ll 'patch' him up..."
[10:08:30 PM] Oscar "You cant be serious. The man tried to kill us."
[10:08:34 PM] Doc "We don't need this man dead he has gone through enough lets just go on with our jobs."
[10:08:56 PM] Vince "Sorry Doc, but we can't left soemthing liek that hanging and just hope for the best."
[10:08:58 PM] DC "when they shoot him they are done. and yes I want to be done with this as well"
[10:09:13 PM] Doc "It was a job not personal like what we are doin just a job let it go."
[10:09:57 PM] * Vince gets his pisotl out "Yeah, just business..if the roles were inverted, they would shoot us, no mercy, no questions, no hesitation."
[10:10:08 PM] Doc "I am a doctor not a murderer this was a retreaval job we can't just kill everyone."
[10:10:14 PM] DC "I definitly do not want this getting back to our employer but I do not like working for the Yakuza"
[10:10:45 PM] DC "the spirits are already upset with me about it"
[10:10:52 PM] Vince "Hey, we saved those people down at the stuffer Shack, what more do you want?"
[10:11:31 PM] Doc "To find the girl and get paid WITHOUT a whole lot of deathes."
[10:12:02 PM] Kagi *It takes Doc's skilled hands just moments to stabilize the man.
[10:12:14 PM] Oscar "Did you forget what side of the law we generaly sit on?"
[10:12:19 PM] Vince "Hey, if he didn't went for that woman, he would be dead down at the Stuffer Shack..We just gave him 15 more minutes."
[10:13:47 PM] Vince "So here, there..like he said, he's dead anyways."
[10:13:55 PM] Doc "In the middle of a gun fight people die but like this it is just plian murder and I can't condone that."
[10:15:02 PM] Vince "Well, it's not murder, it's a suicide."
[10:15:31 PM] Oscar "Why bother save him if he is just going to kill himself?"
[10:15:38 PM] Doc "This man want to see his family not die."
[10:15:56 PM] Vince "He'll talk, and he'llw ill want revenge..We already got that God after us, i don't want to beat Him, only to get stabbed in the back by a wops."
[10:16:27 PM] * Doc pales at the mention of his past.
[10:16:53 PM] Vince "Yeah, so we got already BIG problems, we can do without the little rocks in our shoes, ok?"
[10:18:21 PM] * Doc seems alittle shaken up but says "We don't need to kill him.

[11:02:11 PM] Kagi *The Italian man who greeted you stops you "Got to frisk you gentlemen. Leave your weapons on the table please." ::he indicates a nearby table::
[11:03:17 PM] Kagi *The two Razors move up. One pulls a nasty looking custom Predator heavy pistol out, but keeps it aimed at the floor. The other stands and waits to frisk you
[11:03:28 PM] * Vince slowly and safely, take out his manhunter, then a silenced silver-plated Ares Predator, with the Statue of Liberty carved on the ivory grip.
[11:03:38 PM] Manzazzuu Manny takes out his revolver, and sets it on the table as he was asked.
[11:04:24 PM] * Doc walks over to the guy and raises his arms to be checked

[11:06:03 PM] Manzazzuu Manny gets Naroko to put her staff on the table too - though it might look out of place next to the guns.
[11:06:52 PM] Kagi The Razor waiting to frisk you speaks "hey-a guys let's not have any magical tricks. Let's keep it all in the mundane huh? We got some hitters in astral and they will rip someone's head off if they even think your casting. Scan me?"
[11:07:55 PM] * DC nods in acknowlegement
[11:08:02 PM] Kagi *The Razor pulls out a weapon's detecting wand and begins passing it over everyone in turn
[11:09:20 PM] * Vince mutters 'drek' under his breath and put his trow his shock gloves on his weapons.
[11:09:57 PM] Kagi *The Razor eyes Vince for a moment and then continues, clearing him after a moment
[11:11:55 PM] Kagi *One by one the team gives up it's weapons and is cleared by the Razor. Both Razors then take positions behind the runners and to the sides, giving them the perfect oppertunity to get the jump on anyone who gets out of line.

[11:18:17 PM] Ray ::he stops eatng and dabs at the corner of his mouth with a large napkin:: "Come over here. My name is Ray Bianchi. I assume you've heard of me. I know you've heard of my idiot son and his new slitch, Akihanna."
[11:19:34 PM] * Vince gets closer to Ray "An honour to meet you sir..and yeah we heard some things about him."
[11:20:03 PM] Manzazzuu Manny makes his way over to the man, but makes room for Vince at the fore - standing off to the side and a little behind. Just watching and listening for now.
[11:21:12 PM] Ray ::He steeples his hands in front of him, each of them is gleaming with fat jewel rings of various colors:: "You must be the associate of ours, Vince?"
[11:22:22 PM] Vince "Sort of sir..."
[11:22:39 PM] * DC tries to seem quiet and inconspicous
[11:23:40 PM] * Doc appears to be not paying attention
[11:25:34 PM] Ray "I know Eddie Yamaguchi, has hired you. It's not really important how I know these things, it's only important that I do. You see, my son Frank and I don't see eye to eye all the time." ::he looks a bit disgusted::
[11:27:35 PM] Ray "While I'm protecting his future, he's off playing footsie with every slitch he can charm the pants off."
[11:28:04 PM] Vince "No respect for the family business.."
[11:28:55 PM] Ray ::Nods a bit to Vince:: "But boys need a firm hand I guess. Frank is in deep drek this time though, he's in way over his head."
[11:29:32 PM] Vince "I see..what happened to him? Cops got him?"
[11:29:34 PM] Oscar "So it sounds like you would rather you son not have relations with this Akihanna?"
[11:30:05 PM] Ray ::Looks at Oscar:: "Who are you?"
[11:30:13 PM] * Manzazzuu just stands quietly - occaisionally shifting uncomfortably. He did not want to be here.
[11:30:29 PM] * Vince crosses looks with Oscar.
[11:32:00 PM] Oscar "An assosiciate of Adres. My name is Oscar." ::Oscar points to Vince::
[11:32:42 PM] Ray ::Smacks his lips:: "Uh huh. The computer guy who works for Eddie."
[11:33:02 PM] * Oscar nods his head in agreement
[11:33:25 PM] Oscar "Yes Sir."
[11:36:26 PM] Ray ::He continues:: "Now as I understand it you have been hired to bring Akihana back. As I understand it Frank is with her. Not with the cops." ::he eyes Vince for a moment::
[11:37:11 PM] Ray "So I'm going to make this real clear. I want Frank back, and I want this Akihana girl."
[11:37:29 PM] * Vince smiles
[11:37:35 PM] Kagi *****End Session*****
The team has captured one of the Asian hitmen that ambushed them in the stuffer shack and retired to a parking lot in the shadow of an abandoned office building to interogate him.
Several of the runners have taken turns gathering information in their own styles. The Asian man has confirmed that a seoulpa ring leader named "Cho" sent him and the others to kill the team. The hitman has also provided an address where he was to pick up payment for the job, it's a warehouse deep in the Tacoma sprawl.

[9:28:33 PM] Asian_man "I hope Cho kills you all. Cheese will come for you, he will kill the fat one there." ::he motions with his head to indicate Vince::
[9:28:56 PM] Doc "Guys this guy doesn't know anything about her we can question all night but he still won't know anything."
[9:29:04 PM] Oscar "and the humans are holding AK-97's"
[9:29:16 PM] Vince "He'll melt if I got something to say about that.."
[9:29:44 PM] Oscar to asian man "how much were you paid to kill us?"
[9:32:03 PM] Asian_man "Frag you too!" ::he continues in chinese, but it seems fairly obvious from his expressions he is insulting you::
[9:32:35 PM] * Vince looks around, for any unwanted visitors or curious folk.
[9:33:31 PM] DC "listen, you can insult us all you want but at least we were not such a coward, that we used a mother as a shield infront of her own children"
[9:34:25 PM] * Vince smiles while looking around "She's got you there."
[9:35:09 PM] Asian_man ::Sneers at DC::
[9:35:59 PM] * Vince turns back to face the group "So is he useful , or can we dispose of him now ?"
[9:36:00 PM] Asian_man "Yes, your all very brave....when your not beating a cripple, tied up, and threating his children!"
[9:36:30 PM] * Vince smiles "Cho's got your by the balls, His men will get your kids, not us."
[9:37:18 PM] Asian_man "You, ugly man. You are a coward, shoot me now or do you have to ask permission?"
[9:38:23 PM] Vince "Shoot an unarmed men in cold blood? What a lowly attack! I think I"ll let you live while I go to change suit.."
[9:39:31 PM] Asian_man ::Spits after Vince:: "Coward!"
[9:40:30 PM] Asian_man ::Looks around at the others:: "I will say nothing more. You will kill me regardless. Who will be the coward to shoot a helpless man?"

[9:44:26 PM] * Vince holsters his pistol and gets in the van.
[9:44:32 PM] DC "they aren't going to die, by dealing with the men that he has. most likly they will be force into slavery of some sort, that is if history is any indication of how things will go"
[9:45:43 PM] Doc "Depends if they are male or female may be sold into prostituion
[9:45:46 PM] Asian_man ::His eyes narrow and he says something menicingly in Chinese::
[9:47:01 PM] DC "but that would have happened anyways, orginizations such as cho's are often big on promises but they would have thrown you at danger after danger all the while dangling the family over him, untill he died.
[9:47:26 PM] Vince "Yeah, those bums got no respect."
[9:49:41 PM] * Manzazzuu , recognising there isn't much more he can do here, takes Naroko and goes to sit in his car.

[9:59:24 PM] Doc "Bit of cyber but that is it really."
[10:01:55 PM] Asian_man ::he begins to look drowsy, his eyes flutter trying to keep open::
[10:02:24 PM] DC "I don't see what killing him now would do, I say we stop his bleeding send him on his way, maybe even give him a good excuse to tell his boss"
[10:02:50 PM] * Asian_man passes out
[10:03:41 PM] Pele "I think that is all we will ever get out of him."
[10:03:52 PM] Vince "Let's put bullets in him and be on our way..He knows some of our names, that's never good."
[10:04:26 PM] DC "I have a feeling that whoever sent him knows that already"
[10:04:54 PM] Vince "Yeah, well I"ll sleep easier knowling that he' dead and won't come ahunting us alter on."
[10:05:29 PM] * DC throws up her hands and goes into manny's car

[10:06:42 PM] * Pele heads to his bike
[10:06:48 PM] Manzazzuu "They done yet?" He asks DC as she gets into his car. Then he pulls his gun out of the glove compartment of his vehicle, and stows it into his longcoat. "I want this job -over-."

[10:08:30 PM] Oscar "You cant be serious. The man tried to kill us."
[10:08:34 PM] Doc "We don't need this man dead he has gone through enough lets just go on with our jobs."
[10:08:56 PM] Vince "Sorry Doc, but we can't left soemthing liek that hanging and just hope for the best."
[10:08:58 PM] DC "when they shoot him they are done. and yes I want to be done with this as well"
[10:09:13 PM] Doc "It was a job not personal like what we are doin just a job let it go."
[10:09:57 PM] * Vince gets his pisotl out "Yeah, just business..if the roles were inverted, they would shoot us, no mercy, no questions, no hesitation."
[10:10:08 PM] Doc "I am a doctor not a murderer this was a retreaval job we can't just kill everyone."
[10:10:14 PM] DC "I definitly do not want this getting back to our employer but I do not like working for the Yakuza"
[10:10:45 PM] DC "the spirits are already upset with me about it"
[10:10:52 PM] Vince "Hey, we saved those people down at the stuffer Shack, what more do you want?"
[10:11:31 PM] Doc "To find the girl and get paid WITHOUT a whole lot of deathes."
[10:12:02 PM] Kagi *It takes Doc's skilled hands just moments to stabilize the man.
[10:12:14 PM] Oscar "Did you forget what side of the law we generaly sit on?"
[10:12:19 PM] Vince "Hey, if he didn't went for that woman, he would be dead down at the Stuffer Shack..We just gave him 15 more minutes."
[10:13:47 PM] Vince "So here, there..like he said, he's dead anyways."
[10:13:55 PM] Doc "In the middle of a gun fight people die but like this it is just plian murder and I can't condone that."
[10:15:02 PM] Vince "Well, it's not murder, it's a suicide."
[10:15:31 PM] Oscar "Why bother save him if he is just going to kill himself?"
[10:15:38 PM] Doc "This man want to see his family not die."
[10:15:56 PM] Vince "He'll talk, and he'llw ill want revenge..We already got that God after us, i don't want to beat Him, only to get stabbed in the back by a wops."
