*****Recap of Last Session*****
The meet with the Johnson has gone off without a hitch. After some hard bargaining the price of the job is set at 50,000 nuyen and 4 star accommodations at the Four Seasons luxury hotel in Hong Kong. A limo has whisked the team to the front of the hotel. The Johnson has remained vague about details, deferring until the runners are in their room.
Local time is 8 pm the heat of the day has started to wain as the sun has gone down behind the horizon. The runners are standing at the back entrance to the hotel as they are much too dirty to go unnoticed through the lobby.
*****End Recap*****
[07:27 PM] Vince "I might need a new suit..something with a local cut."
[07:28 PM] Pele "I think we all need a wardrobe update."
[07:29 PM] DC "I think my old coat has had it... anyways"
[07:29 PM] DC "I can't imagine how to get the smell of that ship out of my cloths
[07:30 PM] GM_Kagi ::The Johnson smiles, even with her display of hard bargaining it's hard not to notice her beauty:: "Of course, everything has been provided in your rooms. The four seasons staffs an excellent tailor on call to adjust your clothing."
[07:30 PM] Vince "Good to know."
[07:31 PM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu raises an eyebrow at the woman. "You ordered us clothing?" He asks with a bit of a smirk.
[07:31 PM] GM_Kagi "And the front desk has a small budget for modest clothing to be bought in the gift shop or charged to your room at our expense. As I said Assets inc. takes care of our subcontractors."
[07:32 PM] GM_Kagi ::She nods to Manzazzuu:: "Of course. We knew you would need something to blend in."
[07:32 PM] Alexander "I will need to replace some medical suppies."
[07:32 PM] DC "actually I you mentioned that you talked to an old aqantance of ours, I actually would like to talk to her, something came up on our trip over here"
[07:34 PM] Manzazzuu Manny's smirk drops at the mention of 'blending in'. His own personal style was something he'd become accustomed to, and he begins to wonder what awaited him in the room. Not to mention Grille and his sister.
[07:35 PM] GM_Kagi ::To Alex:: "You'll have to get those yourself. We're not sure what you need replaced. I'm sure you can afford it." ::smiles and turns to DC::
[07:36 PM] GM_Kagi ::Miss Swan:: "I'm afraid that just wont be possible miss. She is occupied at the moment with important maters."
[07:39 PM] GM_Kagi ::Miss Swan, waves her hand towards the door:: "Shall we?"
[07:39 PM] DC "that is understandable but I just need to speak with sometime in the future"
[07:39 PM] GM_Kagi *The ork driver follows behind the runners, his eyes scanning the terrain in a proffesional manner
[07:40 PM] Vince "yeha let'S go, c'mon Amelia, time to see how that "4-star suite" looks like"
[07:40 PM] * Pele follows the rest, quietly observing
[07:40 PM] GM_Kagi ::Sighs:: "I can pass on a message if you like Miss."
[07:40 PM] * Alexander follows also
[07:41 PM] Manzazzuu Manny offers Miss Swan his arm again.
[07:41 PM] Alexander "How are the rest of us splitting up?"
[07:41 PM] GM_Kagi ::Walks them to the elevator:: "If you subscribe to the hotels LAN your room's encrypted door key will be encoded in your commmlinks."
[07:42 PM] GM_Kagi ::Takes Manzazzuu arm, giving him a sheepish smile::
[07:42 PM] * Vince subscribe to get into that damn room ASAP
[07:42 PM] GM_Kagi ::Miss Swan:: "The suite should be large enough for all of you."
[07:43 PM] * DC subscribes to the LAN
[07:43 PM] * Langenscheidt subscribes to the LAN
[07:43 PM] * Pele subscribes as well
[07:43 PM] * Alexander does as well
[07:44 PM] Vince "Let's hope it is."
[07:45 PM] * Vince gets in the elevator with Amelia
[07:46 PM] * GM_Kagi the halls are what you'd expect, lavish beyond anything a runner could expect to enjoy. Everywhere you look Nuyen fairly drips from the walls. Anyone that subscribes to the LAN recieves step by step VR arrows leading them to the shortest path to their room. Even at a casual glance though security is tight like a duck's butt. Nothing is overt, but camera's are everywhere and you bet every piece of hardware the runners have is being scanned and noted
[07:46 PM] Manzazzuu Manny walks on in with Miss Swan, subscribing to the local LAN with his metalink with vector zim - rather than using his more sophisticated comm system he uses to communicate to the others on runs.
[07:48 PM] * Vince walks a bit rapidly to the room, eager to get his 'work tools' back, and finally a confortable to lie down.
[07:48 PM] * DC walks behind the lovely couple chomping at the bit
[07:48 PM] * Alexander follows taking in the sights
[07:49 PM] * GM_Kagi the elevator opens as you approch and sets itself to drop the runners at their room's floor. A sweet female voice informs you of the many luxeries avaliable to those that stay including Spa, free net service, breakfast, gym, etc. The elevator rises silently and opens onto a hallway
[07:49 PM] Vince "Hmm..breakfast..."
[07:49 PM] GM_Kagi *Several people are waiting for the elevator, but take one look at the runners and decide they have something else to do and leave in the oppisite direction in a hurry
[07:50 PM] Alexander "Wonder if its too late for dinner?"
[07:50 PM] * DC feels bad that he had that reaction
[07:50 PM] Vince "It's never too late for diner..thanks to room service!"
[07:50 PM] Alexander "Very true."
[07:50 PM] * Alexander grins
[07:51 PM] DC "I am calling dibs on the shower"
[07:51 PM] GM_Kagi ::Miss Swan exits with Manzazzuu and leads the runners to a door that opens automatically as she approches. The same sweet female voice greets each runner in turn using the name their commlink is registered to.::
[07:51 PM] Vince "Right after you DC."
[07:52 PM] * Vince looks at Amelia "Well, right after you it's her then me then."
[07:52 PM] * DC starts browsing HK fasions. and places to buy an armored long coat again
[07:53 PM] * Alexander walks in behind DC noticably happier then he has been the entire time his english obviosly alot better then he let on but not careing it seems anymore
[07:53 PM] * Vince gets to his packages, and starts opening then on some glass table.
[07:53 PM] GM_Kagi *The room itself is gigantic and lavish. Nothing truly prepares you for the bald face richness of the room. One whole wall is a huge trid-screen going translucent to show victoria harbor below or any image the runners wish at just a verbal command.
[07:54 PM] Manzazzuu "Will you be waiting for us to ... decompress after our long journey, Miss Swan, or would you prefer to discuss the details of our business arrangement immediately?" He asks, after they've entered the room.
[07:54 PM] * Alexander seeing Vince, Alex also gets his package and puts away his thing also
[07:55 PM] * Vince pops 2 pills, beofre pocketing the small bottle, then began working on his guns packages
[07:56 PM] DC "save the boxes for me I have to put that thing in there, it gives me the creeps just looking at that thing"
[07:56 PM] GM_Kagi *On the center table of the main room is 4 doses of the street drug 'cram' and 6 doses of 'bliss'. with a small note under each with Vince's name and Alex's name written on it.
[07:56 PM] Vince "No problem DC."
[07:56 PM] * Alexander goes over next to Vince can I get my predator back now that we are set and anything else you deem fair?"
[07:57 PM] Vince "yeahs ure, here 'ya go thanks..herE's the lcips too"
[07:57 PM] * Pele opens his package and retrieves, among other things, his NavLink
[07:59 PM] * Alexander knowing DC claimed the shower he heads to the other bathroom
[07:59 PM] DC "is there any other buisness to discuse?"
[08:00 PM] * Vince gets out his Manhunter, a Remington shotgun, a roomsweeper, and 2 silver plated silenced Predators VI. After checking the ammo, he gave one to Amleia, alongside 2 clips.
[08:00 PM] * DC asked to no one in perticular
[08:00 PM] Manzazzuu Manny raised an eyebrow at DC - after all, they'd yet to hear any details about the job they'd taken on.
[08:01 PM] Vince "Yeah..what the hell is those street drugs? If I wanted crap, I wouda got it myself."
[08:02 PM] * DC looking at Manny quizically
[08:02 PM] * Pele sits in one of the chairs and waits for the 'conference' to begin
[08:02 PM] * DC thinks for a minute then looks down at the floor
[08:02 PM] DC "Oh yah..." she says sheepishly
[08:05 PM] * DC dumps the orb and the dagger in the empty shipping boxes after Vince is done using it
[08:05 PM] Miss_Swan ::Looks genuinely sorry:: "Excuse me Vince in such a sort time frame I got what I could most easily find. I thought you would be pleased with the selection. I'll be happy to take it off your hands if you do not want it and replace it with your exact requests. It may take a little time."
[08:05 PM] Vince "How much time?"
[08:06 PM] * Alexander comes out of the bathroom having a smile on his face just looking around at everyone, when looking at DC he winks then walks over to look at the trid of the habor.
[08:09 PM] Alexander "HEY Vincey if ya don't want it I can use then for an emerganncy for later."
[08:09 PM] Miss_Swan "Now details."
[08:10 PM] * DC takes the box and slaps it in a closet real quick
[08:10 PM] Vince "Heh..forget it, I'll stick wiht that..But Swan, you better get what I asked soon."
[08:10 PM] * Langenscheidt takes a seat after looking around the suite
[08:10 PM] * Vince takes some bliss and asome cram.
[08:10 PM] Alexander "Hey Vincey." Alex tries to whisper but fails "Shes kinda cute too."
[08:11 PM] * DC sits down at the confrence table awating for the Details
[08:12 PM] Manzazzuu Manny takes a moment to usher Grille and his sister off into one of the rooms.
[08:13 PM] * Vince then takes his weapons in his respective holsters, and go get a room to put his boomsticks and trenchcoat down.
[08:15 PM] Miss_Swan "As I have mentioned. This is a data steal. The target is a warehouse in the Kwai Tsing district here in Hong Kong."
[08:15 PM] Server Alexander is now known as Alex
[08:15 PM] * Vince comes back, and hits the minibar, listening to Swan's yak while he's making himself a drink
[08:16 PM] Manzazzuu ::sits down at the table with DC as he listens to the details::
[08:16 PM] * Pele leans forward as the details are being offere
[08:17 PM] * Alex cracks his knuckles and giggles as he looks at them
[08:18 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse LAN is a series of harwired networks that mesh with the net through just one node. We have been trying to break into it for sometime, but the one node that connects to the network is guarded by some major ICE."
[08:19 PM] Miss_Swan "Much more then can easily be defeated, and to defeat it would set the entire system on alert and the information we are looking for would be dumped and erased automatically."
[08:21 PM] DC oh...
[08:21 PM] Miss_Swan "But we have learned that the system is relatively unprotected from intrusion from inside the network, so if you can put a man in their physically it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get the information we require."
[08:22 PM] * Vince makes another drink, pass it along to Amelia, before sitting down on a nearby sofa.
[08:22 PM] Alex "If it is that easy why have you not done it?"
[08:22 PM] Vince "What kind of security is there on site?"
[08:23 PM] Miss_Swan "We have provided the team with a local resource, Professor Langenscheidt to handle your matrix needs." ::her hand absently waves in Langenscheidt direction::
[08:23 PM] * Langenscheidt just smiles
[08:24 PM] Manzazzuu "So we get him in - no doubt you'd prefer discreetly - and protect him while he pulls your data off the system?"
[08:24 PM] Alex "Prof. huh, way to go."
[08:24 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "We can not afford to be involved with this particular run. No connection can be made to Assets inc. and we are suspicious that information maybe leaking."
[08:24 PM] Miss_Swan "You are new in town, an unknown. That has it's uses."
[08:25 PM] Alex "Ya but I have learned if no one knows you no one will miss you either."
[08:25 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Recon of security is part of your job. We have little intel to provide."
[08:26 PM] * DC quietly sighs at that comment
[08:26 PM] Vince "Just fraggin' great.."
[08:27 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Manzazzuu:: "We need the utmost discretion. Zero footprint. No one must know you have even taken the data or the data itself is meaningless."
[08:28 PM] Manzazzuu "That may be difficult. As you have, yourself, already mentioned - stealth is not exactly this group's forte."
[08:28 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "Yes, your are correct. If you screw up you'll be hung out to dry. Is it ever any different in the shadows?"
[08:28 PM] * Vince grins "Yeah when there's actual trust and confindence."
[08:29 PM] Alex "It's just nice to know where we stand."
[08:29 PM] Miss_Swan ::gives a sexy little smile:: "And I have mentioned we have reservations on your ability to be subtle after your last job. This is as much a test as a job."
[08:29 PM] Vince "Right back at you Lady."
[08:30 PM] Pele "I assume Langenscheidt knows what data he needs to steal once we discreetly get him in?"
[08:31 PM] Manzazzuu Manny sighs, runs a hand through his hair, and mumbles something about using a sledgehammer to do the job of a screwdriver.
[08:31 PM] Miss_Swan "He will."
[08:37 PM] * DC does a map search for the area the johnson mentioned
[08:39 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse is the territory of the Kim Dragons gang."
[08:39 PM] Vince "They're the one handling the security there?"
[08:39 PM] Miss_Swan "They run a shipping business out of it. The data your looking for is on the LAN inside."
[08:40 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Yes."
[08:40 PM] Miss_Swan "It's an open secret so you'll see the guards in their colors patrolling the area."
[08:41 PM] Miss_Swan "They control more then just the warehouse though they control the entire area, so you'll be watched before you even make it to the warehouse."
[08:42 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse has an office located in the back corner and several entrances."
[08:43 PM] Miss_Swan "The data is on the computer in that office, but you might be able to hook into the network at the junction box as well."
[08:43 PM] Manzazzuu "Are the gang known for having any significant number of magically awakened?" Asks Manny, watching Miss Swan carefully.
[08:44 PM] Miss_Swan "Security changes depending on what is being shipped at the time, so only current intelligence will give you an idea of what you'll be facing exactly."
[08:44 PM] Miss_Swan "The gang has access to magical resources yes Manzazzuu."
[08:45 PM] * Manzazzuu nods, not having expected his luck to be that good.
[08:45 PM] Alex "So are they Yaks or just some guys looking to score?'
[08:45 PM] Miss_Swan "You can expect armed guards, and electronic surviellence for certain."
[08:46 PM] Alex "Or maybe triads here?"
[08:47 PM] Miss_Swan "The Kim Dragons are technically outsiders here in Hong Kong, they not connected with the triads. As for other criminal organizations here in Hong Kong there are none."
[08:48 PM] Miss_Swan The Triads rule Hong Kong. Their is no Yakuza or Mafia presence here."
[08:48 PM] Miss_Swan "This is why it is the perfect place for you to hide considering your last job."
[08:49 PM] Alex "What last job I been in school."
[08:49 PM] * DC sighs again
[08:49 PM] Miss_Swan "The Vory have been known to have a presence in the north in the Tolo complex, but otherwise all the gangs here in Hong Kong are either small and independent or Triad."
[08:49 PM] Miss_Swan "Though Triad gangs do compete among themselves."
[08:50 PM] Miss_Swan "Any more questions?"
[08:51 PM] Manzazzuu "Are the Dragons a triad gang?"
[08:51 PM] Alex "No she just said listen up."
[08:51 PM] * Alex rolls his eyes
[08:51 PM] Miss_Swan "The Red dragons are the largest triad gang in Hong Kong, yes. Why do you ask?"
[08:52 PM] Manzazzuu "I think I may have heard a few things about them is all." He says with a nod to Miss Swan. "Thank you."
[08:53 PM] Alex "Are they the Red or Kim dragons."
[08:53 PM] * Alex looks a little mad
[08:53 PM] * DC astrally percives and looks back at the closet
[08:54 PM] * DC looks back to the table as long as nothing strange is going on
[08:56 PM] * Vince takes a slip of his drink
[08:57 PM] Vince "So where is that intelligence you guys got on those Kim Dragons?"
[09:00 PM] * DC 's eyes seems glazed over as she scans the room quickly
[09:00 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "Both. Kim and Red Dragons operate in the Kwai Tsing district."
[09:01 PM] Vince "One hates the other..could work inot our adventage.."
[09:01 PM] * DC 's eyes seem to stop on each of the runners and the johnson
[09:02 PM] * Manzazzuu raises his eyebrows at DC, wondering if she's got anything she needs to communicate.
[09:04 PM] * DC messages Manny to the johnson is Nervous also awakened, and to keep Grill and his sister from the orb and dagger... probibly best if noone goes near that closet actually
[09:04 PM] Vince "So what's our timetable on that thing then?"
[09:05 PM] Miss_Swan "You have four days. The information will be less effective after that."
[09:06 PM] * DC sends her another message... "now she is alot more nervous"
[09:06 PM] Vince "We got a access to a vehicle?"
[09:06 PM] Manzazzuu Manny blinks as he's told the timetable. Not much time for recon, he thinks to himself.
[09:07 PM] Miss_Swan ::She shakes her head negative, to Vince:: "You can rent one I'm sure."
[09:07 PM] Vince "Me and what money? I don't even speak Chinese.."
[09:08 PM] Miss_Swan "It would've been a longer timetable, but you are late. Not that it's your fault, I am just stating the facts."
[09:08 PM] DC "but these gentalmen do" motioning over with her whole hand over to Alex and Lang
[09:08 PM] * Alex smiles and winks at DC
[09:08 PM] Vince "Heh..sure..so we get a cash advence on the job or what?"
[09:08 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Professor Langenscheidt is a linguistics specialist."
[09:09 PM] Miss_Swan "I'm afraid I'm not authorized to extend an advance at this time."
[09:10 PM] Miss_Swan "Your all resourceful men and women, I'm sure you'll think of something."
[09:10 PM] Vince "typical..and you expect us..to go in the middle of a gang turf, get some data, and out wihtout being seen? Gee want us to walk on water too? Maybe turn water into wine huh?"
[09:11 PM] * DC 's eyes come into focus as she plays with her comm again... looking up resterant locations possibly near the target
[09:11 PM] * Vince grins and take another slip.
[09:12 PM] Miss_Swan ::She gives Vince one of those sexy little smiles:: "I'm sorry are you saying it's too tough for you? That your scared? That this is all over your head?"
[09:12 PM] * Pele lets a small smile implant on his face at the comment, though, immediately, it is taken away
[09:13 PM] Miss_Swan "Maybe I should've hired some girlscouts, they could go right up and sell some cookies. At least THEY could make it to the door."
[09:13 PM] Vince "Shut the hell up, and stop smiling like that, you look like a whore. I don't wanna die in this hellhole for you, especially if you ain't telling things like it is."
The meet with the Johnson has gone off without a hitch. After some hard bargaining the price of the job is set at 50,000 nuyen and 4 star accommodations at the Four Seasons luxury hotel in Hong Kong.

[08:00 PM] * Vince gets out his Manhunter, a Remington shotgun, a roomsweeper, and 2 silver plated silenced Predators VI. After checking the ammo, he gave one to Amleia, alongside 2 clips.
[08:00 PM] * DC asked to no one in perticular
[08:00 PM] Manzazzuu Manny raised an eyebrow at DC - after all, they'd yet to hear any details about the job they'd taken on.
[08:01 PM] Vince "Yeah..what the hell is those street drugs? If I wanted crap, I wouda got it myself."
[08:02 PM] * DC looking at Manny quizically
[08:02 PM] * Pele sits in one of the chairs and waits for the 'conference' to begin
[08:02 PM] * DC thinks for a minute then looks down at the floor
[08:02 PM] DC "Oh yah..." she says sheepishly
[08:05 PM] * DC dumps the orb and the dagger in the empty shipping boxes after Vince is done using it
[08:05 PM] Miss_Swan ::Looks genuinely sorry:: "Excuse me Vince in such a sort time frame I got what I could most easily find. I thought you would be pleased with the selection. I'll be happy to take it off your hands if you do not want it and replace it with your exact requests. It may take a little time."
[08:05 PM] Vince "How much time?"
[08:06 PM] * Alexander comes out of the bathroom having a smile on his face just looking around at everyone, when looking at DC he winks then walks over to look at the trid of the habor.
[08:09 PM] Alexander "HEY Vincey if ya don't want it I can use then for an emerganncy for later."
[08:09 PM] Miss_Swan "Now details."
[08:10 PM] * DC takes the box and slaps it in a closet real quick
[08:10 PM] Vince "Heh..forget it, I'll stick wiht that..But Swan, you better get what I asked soon."
[08:10 PM] * Langenscheidt takes a seat after looking around the suite
[08:10 PM] * Vince takes some bliss and asome cram.
[08:10 PM] Alexander "Hey Vincey." Alex tries to whisper but fails "Shes kinda cute too."
[08:11 PM] * DC sits down at the confrence table awating for the Details
[08:12 PM] Manzazzuu Manny takes a moment to usher Grille and his sister off into one of the rooms.
[08:13 PM] * Vince then takes his weapons in his respective holsters, and go get a room to put his boomsticks and trenchcoat down.
[08:15 PM] Miss_Swan "As I have mentioned. This is a data steal. The target is a warehouse in the Kwai Tsing district here in Hong Kong."
[08:15 PM] Server Alexander is now known as Alex
[08:15 PM] * Vince comes back, and hits the minibar, listening to Swan's yak while he's making himself a drink
[08:16 PM] Manzazzuu ::sits down at the table with DC as he listens to the details::
[08:16 PM] * Pele leans forward as the details are being offere
[08:17 PM] * Alex cracks his knuckles and giggles as he looks at them
[08:18 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse LAN is a series of harwired networks that mesh with the net through just one node. We have been trying to break into it for sometime, but the one node that connects to the network is guarded by some major ICE."
[08:19 PM] Miss_Swan "Much more then can easily be defeated, and to defeat it would set the entire system on alert and the information we are looking for would be dumped and erased automatically."
[08:21 PM] DC oh...
[08:21 PM] Miss_Swan "But we have learned that the system is relatively unprotected from intrusion from inside the network, so if you can put a man in their physically it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get the information we require."
[08:22 PM] * Vince makes another drink, pass it along to Amelia, before sitting down on a nearby sofa.
[08:22 PM] Alex "If it is that easy why have you not done it?"
[08:22 PM] Vince "What kind of security is there on site?"
[08:23 PM] Miss_Swan "We have provided the team with a local resource, Professor Langenscheidt to handle your matrix needs." ::her hand absently waves in Langenscheidt direction::
[08:23 PM] * Langenscheidt just smiles
[08:24 PM] Manzazzuu "So we get him in - no doubt you'd prefer discreetly - and protect him while he pulls your data off the system?"
[08:24 PM] Alex "Prof. huh, way to go."
[08:24 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "We can not afford to be involved with this particular run. No connection can be made to Assets inc. and we are suspicious that information maybe leaking."
[08:24 PM] Miss_Swan "You are new in town, an unknown. That has it's uses."
[08:25 PM] Alex "Ya but I have learned if no one knows you no one will miss you either."
[08:25 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Recon of security is part of your job. We have little intel to provide."
[08:26 PM] * DC quietly sighs at that comment
[08:26 PM] Vince "Just fraggin' great.."
[08:27 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Manzazzuu:: "We need the utmost discretion. Zero footprint. No one must know you have even taken the data or the data itself is meaningless."
[08:28 PM] Manzazzuu "That may be difficult. As you have, yourself, already mentioned - stealth is not exactly this group's forte."
[08:28 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "Yes, your are correct. If you screw up you'll be hung out to dry. Is it ever any different in the shadows?"
[08:28 PM] * Vince grins "Yeah when there's actual trust and confindence."
[08:29 PM] Alex "It's just nice to know where we stand."
[08:29 PM] Miss_Swan ::gives a sexy little smile:: "And I have mentioned we have reservations on your ability to be subtle after your last job. This is as much a test as a job."
[08:29 PM] Vince "Right back at you Lady."
[08:30 PM] Pele "I assume Langenscheidt knows what data he needs to steal once we discreetly get him in?"
[08:31 PM] Manzazzuu Manny sighs, runs a hand through his hair, and mumbles something about using a sledgehammer to do the job of a screwdriver.
[08:31 PM] Miss_Swan "He will."
[08:37 PM] * DC does a map search for the area the johnson mentioned
[08:39 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse is the territory of the Kim Dragons gang."
[08:39 PM] Vince "They're the one handling the security there?"
[08:39 PM] Miss_Swan "They run a shipping business out of it. The data your looking for is on the LAN inside."
[08:40 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Yes."
[08:40 PM] Miss_Swan "It's an open secret so you'll see the guards in their colors patrolling the area."
[08:41 PM] Miss_Swan "They control more then just the warehouse though they control the entire area, so you'll be watched before you even make it to the warehouse."
[08:42 PM] Miss_Swan "The warehouse has an office located in the back corner and several entrances."
[08:43 PM] Miss_Swan "The data is on the computer in that office, but you might be able to hook into the network at the junction box as well."
[08:43 PM] Manzazzuu "Are the gang known for having any significant number of magically awakened?" Asks Manny, watching Miss Swan carefully.
[08:44 PM] Miss_Swan "Security changes depending on what is being shipped at the time, so only current intelligence will give you an idea of what you'll be facing exactly."
[08:44 PM] Miss_Swan "The gang has access to magical resources yes Manzazzuu."
[08:45 PM] * Manzazzuu nods, not having expected his luck to be that good.
[08:45 PM] Alex "So are they Yaks or just some guys looking to score?'
[08:45 PM] Miss_Swan "You can expect armed guards, and electronic surviellence for certain."
[08:46 PM] Alex "Or maybe triads here?"
[08:47 PM] Miss_Swan "The Kim Dragons are technically outsiders here in Hong Kong, they not connected with the triads. As for other criminal organizations here in Hong Kong there are none."
[08:48 PM] Miss_Swan The Triads rule Hong Kong. Their is no Yakuza or Mafia presence here."
[08:48 PM] Miss_Swan "This is why it is the perfect place for you to hide considering your last job."
[08:49 PM] Alex "What last job I been in school."
[08:49 PM] * DC sighs again
[08:49 PM] Miss_Swan "The Vory have been known to have a presence in the north in the Tolo complex, but otherwise all the gangs here in Hong Kong are either small and independent or Triad."
[08:49 PM] Miss_Swan "Though Triad gangs do compete among themselves."
[08:50 PM] Miss_Swan "Any more questions?"
[08:51 PM] Manzazzuu "Are the Dragons a triad gang?"
[08:51 PM] Alex "No she just said listen up."
[08:51 PM] * Alex rolls his eyes
[08:51 PM] Miss_Swan "The Red dragons are the largest triad gang in Hong Kong, yes. Why do you ask?"
[08:52 PM] Manzazzuu "I think I may have heard a few things about them is all." He says with a nod to Miss Swan. "Thank you."
[08:53 PM] Alex "Are they the Red or Kim dragons."
[08:53 PM] * Alex looks a little mad
[08:53 PM] * DC astrally percives and looks back at the closet
[08:54 PM] * DC looks back to the table as long as nothing strange is going on
[08:56 PM] * Vince takes a slip of his drink
[08:57 PM] Vince "So where is that intelligence you guys got on those Kim Dragons?"
[09:00 PM] * DC 's eyes seems glazed over as she scans the room quickly
[09:00 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Alex:: "Both. Kim and Red Dragons operate in the Kwai Tsing district."
[09:01 PM] Vince "One hates the other..could work inot our adventage.."
[09:01 PM] * DC 's eyes seem to stop on each of the runners and the johnson
[09:02 PM] * Manzazzuu raises his eyebrows at DC, wondering if she's got anything she needs to communicate.
[09:04 PM] * DC messages Manny to the johnson is Nervous also awakened, and to keep Grill and his sister from the orb and dagger... probibly best if noone goes near that closet actually
[09:04 PM] Vince "So what's our timetable on that thing then?"
[09:05 PM] Miss_Swan "You have four days. The information will be less effective after that."
[09:06 PM] * DC sends her another message... "now she is alot more nervous"
[09:06 PM] Vince "We got a access to a vehicle?"
[09:06 PM] Manzazzuu Manny blinks as he's told the timetable. Not much time for recon, he thinks to himself.
[09:07 PM] Miss_Swan ::She shakes her head negative, to Vince:: "You can rent one I'm sure."
[09:07 PM] Vince "Me and what money? I don't even speak Chinese.."
[09:08 PM] Miss_Swan "It would've been a longer timetable, but you are late. Not that it's your fault, I am just stating the facts."
[09:08 PM] DC "but these gentalmen do" motioning over with her whole hand over to Alex and Lang
[09:08 PM] * Alex smiles and winks at DC
[09:08 PM] Vince "Heh..sure..so we get a cash advence on the job or what?"
[09:08 PM] Miss_Swan ::To Vince:: "Professor Langenscheidt is a linguistics specialist."
[09:09 PM] Miss_Swan "I'm afraid I'm not authorized to extend an advance at this time."
[09:10 PM] Miss_Swan "Your all resourceful men and women, I'm sure you'll think of something."
[09:10 PM] Vince "typical..and you expect us..to go in the middle of a gang turf, get some data, and out wihtout being seen? Gee want us to walk on water too? Maybe turn water into wine huh?"
[09:11 PM] * DC 's eyes come into focus as she plays with her comm again... looking up resterant locations possibly near the target
[09:11 PM] * Vince grins and take another slip.
[09:12 PM] Miss_Swan ::She gives Vince one of those sexy little smiles:: "I'm sorry are you saying it's too tough for you? That your scared? That this is all over your head?"
[09:12 PM] * Pele lets a small smile implant on his face at the comment, though, immediately, it is taken away
[09:13 PM] Miss_Swan "Maybe I should've hired some girlscouts, they could go right up and sell some cookies. At least THEY could make it to the door."
[09:13 PM] Vince "Shut the hell up, and stop smiling like that, you look like a whore. I don't wanna die in this hellhole for you, especially if you ain't telling things like it is."
