Yeah, I don't think we want to play these guys. They take it fairly seriously. Hell the guy in the semi could have been the one that took out the runners who left early, for all we know. Keep our heads down and our noses clean, and we should be fine.
Tiny shifts awkwardly on his bar stool.
As for what we can all do, well.... I cant really sling too many spells, but Bear has given me the power to heal, and affect people I touch in other ways. I've been a bouncer for years, so I know my way around a fight, and how to shut people down without killin em. And I make the best Harvey Wallbanger in Seattle.
But enough about me. We're definitely gonna need some non-lethal ordnance for this one. Anyone know someone who could hook us up?

At that note the doors to the Eager beaver bust wide open.. a very large troll wearing a Dukes of Hazard shirt comes in with a man in his hands.. the man looks fimiliar somehow.. like youve seen him before..
p-p-p-please...
the man in the fine buisness suit pleads with the troll who promptly and violently throws him to the floor a mear 30 feet away from the party
I was only doing what was asked of me!
tears swell in his eyes yet the troll seems to take no action at his plead... mearly stands before him with his arms crossed
seconds later a tall figure dressed in pure black except for his long silver hair follows with the truck driver from before in his arms.. at the door the truck driver makes a grab for the door.. the dark figure lets him go, pulls out an ares predator and shoots him in the arm.. the driver promplty lets go of the door and falls to the floor grasping the new wound
FRAG!!!! you chummer.. youve just signed your death warrent
oh i think not
a tall figure emerges from the shadows wearing an very expensive suit and walking with a cane
Jimmy the new figure syas from the shadows you put yourself into a bind this time... did you really think i would allow you to blow my warehouse up and not seek you out? I knew who you were the second you sent that transmission out with that the man in the suit looks at you guys.. and though he has sunglasses on, you feel as though he is glaring at all of you The child is mine, you can go back and tell Steven this... did he really think to outwit me with his cheap technology? and as for you he turns his head to the driver, takes a few steps closer to him.. the driver starts to tremble.. the figure in the suit looks from him to the tall troll Daisy... see to it that this man dissapears... permanately Gladly replies the troll and bends down to scoop up the injured man
DOM!!! PLEASE NO.. WAIT!!! I HAVE INFORMA..... hes cut off by the large troll who smashes him in the face, the sounds of bone can be heard splintering under the brutes fist and the driver falls to the floor silent.. the troll then picks him up and walks out back just as the man in the suit and the tall dark figure begin to walk over to your table... in shock of what youve just witnessed you also hear the sounds of a dozen guns being cocked.. a quick glance will show that all the girls that were on stage now have guns of different variety pointed at your party
A few of you I know, weve done buisness at one time or another, some of you are new faces.. disd you really intend to steal the child? I will let you know now that your efforts would have proven to be useless as the child is no longer at that facility nor has he been for quite sometime... he glances at all of you, then back to the dark figure Xtreme.. .it appears oiur guests are in a slight shock... perhaps a beer? he glances back at alll of you seemingly counting the amount of people in your party but also looking for some sort of response to his offer then looks back at Xtreme may be in order...
the troll known as Daisy returens from the back with a towel stained red in his hands Daisy took care of the man for youz Excellent Dom replies perhaps these people were passing through and were ready to leave, or perhaps they have something they wish to share? he seems to take a more relaxed stance and waits for an answer
[ooc] to let you guys know I really fucked my back up at work and they have me on some MEGA pain reliever.. if something doesnt make sence for the next few days please be sure to clarify it up with me... till then.. let the games begin.. please remember to post using the account with the charcter that is performing in this campaign

"Oh great girls on the stage with guns, one ped of guy looking for info and my magic doesn't even work in here. I wish I was in my Transport atleast in it I have back up." Tank thinks to himself as his eye starts twitching like there is no tommorow.
"Well I'll wait and see where this situation goes before I done or say anything there is no way I want to be the one that got us all killed." Tank looks at his beer as another thought enters his head "Ok I'm not drinking anymore who knows what they are got in this stuff I may be a dwarf with a high tolorace but there are drugs that will drop even me." Tank beings to be thankful that his is the smallest guy at the table maybe he wont put me on the top of the list when the bullets start fling, I hope they don't.

Not trying to be a pain in your arse Dom. But Biz is biz , we all got a call for a meet. We went and took the down for the job.Drek! There goes my day job and my home.
We were just waiting on who was going to show for the run. Then we were going to work up a plan. You know normal biz. Grassfire looks to the bouncers hands. DREK !
Seeing as you are involved and all I guse I'll be steping back from this one. We, or I , had no idea that it was going to run against your interests. If we would have know we would have turned the run down.Drek that's more sucking up then I've done in years. Wonder how much it would hut to take the trool down........hmmmmm....wonder if I could. What am I thinking !

There was mention of a counter offer from the truckers bigger boss.. if thats any use... Tiny would you like to fill Dom in? the statement of fact from the weedy shaman is clear - he is not trying to drop Tiny in it, Freddy is cutting straight to potentially useful information. Course if Dom knows about it, then that too can be cut short.

[ooc]Tiny Grassfire Tank Freddy these are the 4 that I have so far in this campaign that have been active for the past 24 hours...

Dom grins towards Grassfire Indeed.. biz is biz, sadly you didnt have enough time to really investigate much about your run, so killing each of you would prove to be pointless.. he glances behind his shoulder and hollars for Daisy Please bring Jimmy here, I am curious as to what he truly knows about the boy.. the large troll turns and walks back to the backroom where he took the driver... during this time Dom turns to the party Well, it appears that an opportunity has opened up for both of us.. it appears you may be without a run, yet i am looking for some runners to perform some tasks for me, tasks that my prove to be quite profitable... at this time.. Daisy comes back with your Johnson who is still trembling under the brutes arms p-p-p-please d-d-ont kill m-me
Had i wanted you dead, I assure you that you would have been by now, instead i wish to know what youve learned about the boy
your Johnson seemingly grows stern, and presses his lips together and shakes his head
oh come now Jimmy, we are all friends here a vindictive grin grows on Doms face tell me what you know and i will be happy to let you run back to your master
I wont say a word to you.. youll have to kill me first!
whats this? loyalty? come now Jimmy, thats not like you... but if you insist.. Daisy, rip his arms off Daisy reaches down.. grabs both arms but before he begins to pull Johnson hollars out OK OK!!! p-p-please.. dont.. ill tell you everything...... he takes a deep breath in relief to the fact that the troll released his arms... still kneeling he coughs and says thirty years ago, around the time of the bug wars, a machine was built, in hopes that someone with great power could use it to control a bug to do their will, it was Ares first claim to fame, but when they test trialed it, it failed.. they scraped the project of trying to control and changed to weapons to destroy he slowly starts to stand up, rubbing his knees It was discovered a few years ago by a scientist by the name of Dax Fergon that the reason it failed was due to the frequency of the signals that were put out, the math was inccorect on the design, he paid handsomely for the original project and ran studies... it appeared that though the bug threat was no more, the device could be altered to channel inner energy, control of ones own self and increasing their abilities.. unfortunately for him, his son had gotten a hold of it and placed the item on his own head, somehow though, and still unexplained, it was unable to be removed, and the child was... beyond what any race could accomplish for power...
Jimmy Dom begins to smirk do you truly believe that fairy tale? your sources must have made a fool out of you while they spent the rediculous amount of money that im sure your boss paid them... I thought you had something useful to continue to live for... but since you dont he nods to Daisy who promptly picks the johnson up by the front of his face muffling his crys tell your boss i said hi as always... Dom grabs a seat form another table and slides it a few feet from the party, Xtreme stands next to him and he is shortly joined by JJ who stands on the other side of him As I stated before, I am in need of a few runners... it will not be easy but i assure you that your pay will be quite generous... all your expenses and needs that are within reason will be meet he looks beyond your party Ladies, I believe that is enough practice for the night, i will be left in private now with that the dancers holster their guns and walk off stage Now that we are alone.... I am offering you a contract, it will prove to be difficult and you may bring in extra people if you wish, but the pay will be the same no matter what... if you are interested then sit, and have a beer... if not, then I reccommend that you stand up and walk out now.... he leans back in his chair and Daisy rounds the corner to take his place behind Dom...
[ooc] Tiny, you have missed any actions due to not responding within 24 hours of my last post, you will have 24 hours now to reply or your character will have to be removed... as a note to everyone, if you are not going to say or do anything, then please at least post something to that nature so that I know you are up to date of whats going on.

Well depending on the pay you can count me in. Biz is biz and all. I wouldn't be doing this if not for the cred.Grassfire puts down the beer and open a water. There goes a simple snatch and grab into much much more.

"Ok I'm intrested. Lets hear what the job is." Tanks answers waiting to see where this run will turn next.
"Well if this gets me some decent pay I maybe able to get a place to sleep at night if not maybe some new air freshener for the Pill Box (Tanks transport)" Tank thinks to himself as he waits to hear who will be part of the team and what the job will have them doing

I'm in. And Tank, if you want to work for Mr Haseltorn an 'interested' aint good enough, shiv?
Ah, Dom Haseltorn the extremely powerful Seattle Mayoral candidate... takes a few to sink in, along with the swiftly dispensed violence, the assasination of the prior three runners, this is deathly serious, not a maybe. freddy isnt warning, again merely stating a fact. he seems a 'cold fish' with all of this going on.

Tiny stands from the table and walks to the double doors
[ooc] sorry mate.. i really need you to be here for at least the initial contract, should you wish to jump in later then I will fit you in, for the time being I wait to post till i see that everyone has posted... I know theres still 2 hours to go but my time is limited tonight and i must continue the story line
Dom stands up, pulls a small cube from his pocket and lays it on the center of the table... he presses the top of it and it pops open, a holographic image appears, it looks to be a helmet of some sort The child really has little to do with much of anything here, the helmet though is what is the most intriguing, The helmet is a new line of a product called RigeckWare, it allows an individual to be able to both use the advantages of rigging and decking without the hardware and wires, simply magnificent if I may say so. It was build by a seemingly unknown corporation located in Fort Yukon of the Athabaskan region, it will be cold and you will be provided with the proper gear to insure your survival against the cold. As Grassfire mentioned earlier, business is business and i would like to acquire the technology they seem to have, also i would like to know how they acquired such knowledge. They are funded by a ghost corporation, that much i do know, there exact whereabouts are still unknown. So it will be your job to obtain this information, i can tell you now that searching the matrix for your answer will prove useless, you will have to physically go there and investigate the matter first hand. i will tell you now that the child alone proves they have advanced technology, the dangers you may face could be beyond anything youve seen. I am prepared to pay you each 15,000 now, you will receive extra pay for information gathered, and bonus pay for anything you are able to bring back. are you gentlemen still interested? please take time to talk amongst yourselves.. I have another matter at hand that i must take care of and will be back in a few moments he turns to walk away, stops and with his back to you says if you have any questions, please have them ready by the time i return he continues to walk away, JJ, Xtreme and Daisy walk with him to the back room
[ooc] ok guys.. do your thing... should tiny post before your decision is made then i will allow him back into the campaign.. in the meantime take the next 24 hours to discuss your plan of action..

I have some immediate questions, information on the Fort Yukon complex - and also on any information there is on the child, the name Rigek and also why another corp is already interested.
The holo of the helmet - is the original available, or at least the reasearch done on it?
Are we in for a datasnatch, or if the opportunity arises, can we open negociations?
If Dom is able to value this potential product as simply magnificent, then that is what we are up against, something magificent in value and therefore protected 'magnificently'
Freddy seems very clinical in the appraisal of the biz at hand. abrupt and curt

"The thing I real want to know is if there is any maps of the place, ie building spects area maps that kind of thing if not I guess we try the net for them. Also are we aloud to kill on this mission, I know we want info so don't kill everyone. I figure we should still get none lethal ammo for the ones we want info from." Tank asks seeing if he can get more info to help out with the run being more successful.
"It's not the exact same run but it will do. I just hope we don't keep having our Johnsons killed off before we get all the money." Tank runs through what just happened in his mind. "Dom seems like he can more then handle himself. I doubt he will be dropped." Tank starts thinking of places he can get info for the run and equipment that will come in handy.
"Dom said the danger we will face will be more then we have before I want Elemental back up then. If I get time I'm getting some of them." Tank starts to think of ways to get more back up when he needs it.

Worse then that Ripper thing, I can't see that. Or I hope I don't. If we have to do a data search in this facility we should have an on sight decker. I can shoot but not hack. I'd also like to see what the specs are on there security. Ya know numbers and armaments.

{OOC; sorry fellas. Works been murder with my new promotion, and my internets been down at home. All fixed now, though}
Tiny stops on his way to the door, reconsidering.
Re-entering the main room, he fills Dom in on the story of the man in the truck, ending with...
So, if you're worried about that last fella tryin to snatch the kid, you'd better be on the lookout fer this guy as well.
Taking back his seat and downing his beer, Tiny listens to the team.
Well, if its gonna be that dangerous, guess I'd better come along. Never hurts to have a medic on tha team...
