Bobby had gotten engrossed in trying to make the gatling gun work. Time had passed...The weird thing was, it looked like to him that the gatling gun had been deliberately jammed. But he couldnt get past the programing to determine for sure. Weird...
The next thing he knew, a second boat was hitching up to tow them somewhere. Retreating to the back of the yacht where the others were, Bobby was just in time to hear the invitation to join in on the information meeting in the main cabin.
Listening to Chen's description of the job, Bobby thought to himself kinda sketchy on the details...
"All expenses paid plus 7500 nuyen for a quick in and out to Japan? Whats the catch? And as the chummer over here mentioned, lots of us ain't packin our usual travelin' papers. They are kinda sticklers for that when you cross boarders you know. Maybe we can talk a bit more about the details after you are done here Chen..."
After the meeting breaks up, Bobby talks with Jorinda and Matt. "Listen guys, I am ill equiped to just jump on a plane and head off to Japan. And I had a couple of other obligations. But if what this Chen guy says is on the level, I could put off my other tasks for a couple days. And we might get some drek to compensate us for our troubles. Problem is, we still have our other job for Dom. Any idea who has the package we were supposed to pick up? Or where it might be?" Seeing blank looks on their faces, Bobby grimaces. "Listen, I don't even know what the fraggin package was, so somebody better spill the info on the job that WE were supposed to be doin' cause all Dom told me was drive you here, drive you there..."
After the conversation with Jorinda and Matt, Bobby makes time to take Chen aside before they dock in California.
When they arrive at the docks, Wheels jumps off the Yacht , carrying his kit bag over his shoulder. He watches as the small...thing, would be the best way to describe it. he thinks to himself...acosts several of the others, particularly the Albino Ork. Otaku, hunh? I'll have to do some research on them... Looking thoughtful, Wheels moves off down the dock as Chen takes the little fellow aside and talks to him for a bit.
Near the end of the dock, Bobby stops, looking in a Stuffer Shack that corners the street and dockyard entrance. Seeing nothing that he could use, Bobby returns his attention to the group, as Chen assembles them near a rickety, beat up passenger van. Bobby raises an eyebrow as the little fellow laborously climbs up behind the wheel, and Chen begins to usher everyone into the van. Bobby moves over to join the rest of the group...

he begins once again to babble on, mixing his words together making it hard to make out what he says... his Van, a beat up old 2043 Chevy is rusted out in the bottom.. on the inside there are 3 rows of seats big enough to fit the whole party, the driver seat is an upside down milk crate... the interior reeks of pine as (those who notice) the ceiling of the van has pine air fresheners stapled all over it.. many of the air fresheners are yellow and have obviously been there a long time... as knute turns the ignition.. the van firs up to life sounding much like a Harley.. blueish grey smoke protrudes from its muffler.. knute steps on the gas a few times to rev up the engine.
come, come, knute will take you anywhere you wanna go... for a small fee

Jorinda listens closely to Chen's reply. 7,500 might be worth her time away from the Beaver, if only to keep out of Dom's way when he was in a bad mood. Yeah, she wanted details. Like most of the others, she didn't have 'travelling papers'.
Jorinda nods. That was the trouble about being SINless. Small wonder she hadn't left Seattle since she stopped working for Renraku.
Jorinda looks at Matt, who wasn't forthcoming. Well, she had talked to Dom. "It was a briefcase. He didn't mention what was in it, but it was important. He also wants us to get it back, but last time I saw the courier, he was hopping another boat. I have no drekking idea where he got to, or if he's alive, and that's pretty much what I told Dom, but he still wants us to find the guy, and I don't have the first clue where to look besides heading back to the dock...if there's anything left."
Chen motions them toward the van. She hadn't seen a van in that bad a shape still driveable. Was it even street legal? Well, Chen was the one in charge, and Matt and Bobby were going with him, so she wasn't about to stay here on the docks of a city she didn't know. She will also join the group.
(Aw drek, you're right about the Kender! Everyone keep a sharp eye on your stuff while he's around...)

.5 good karma to Xeno for making me laugh... tasselhoff is the shyt.. its 1/2 a point for making me laugh you woulda had a whole point if you woulda gotten the race right... it was actually tinker gnomes that spoke so fast no one could understand them and they were always excited and hyperactive.. I still laugh at the thought of a hyper little tinker gnome using the elevator system of Mt. Nevermind

Jorinda looks at Matt, who wasn't forthcoming. Matt just shrugged periodically while Jorinda and Bobby were talking... it's very obvious he has no idea what to expect with this... as the conversation continues, you both feel yourselves starting to wonder how he even fits into this picture, he wasn't even maintaining consistant eye-contact while you were talking. At one point it seemed that he was about to say something, which is when you notice his eyes are a little glossed over... and he's wavering ever so slightly. About 5 seconds after Bobby leaves to talk to Chen, Matt seems to focus right in as his eyes widen to incredible proportions, almost seemingly like they were going to fall out. "Holy DREK!!! everyone turns to look at Matt, whos running his hands through his hair and bouncing around excitedly... "now THATS what I'm talking about... wow.... wowwwwwwww yessir.... gooood stuff... wow... holy geezza... ok now... hey Jorinda... so, uh... whats going on?

Erick mutters something under his breath about having to wait until the next time he is in California. Erick clambers into the van to take up one of the window seats near the back. Idly moving a rune stone over his palm, Erick tries to keep his attention on his surroundings in order to keep the little man's voice from causing a headache. Failing miserably, he continues to observe Chen and his actions, the front man of the group for now.

Plunking himself down in the middle seat beside Erick in the back, after tucking his kit bag under the seat, Bobby leans over to sniff at the stones in Ericks hand. "Hey chummer. Whats with dem stones? They lucky for ya or something?" Leaning back, Bobby regrets sitting in the back as the Van pulls away from the curb, a cloud of blue smoke coming up thru the floor, making everyone cough and swear...

The infusion of exhaust into the van did bring about a cough or two, along with the memories of the old beater he used to share with his sister back home, many years ago.
The question posed by arrival in the seat next to him causes Erick to crack a small smile . "Somethin' like that." Erick responds, "Could be bad luck too...dependin' on what they say."
Erick glances down to the dark grey stone, the natural light bounces off the surface as he manipulates it with his hand. Flipping the stone over, Erick glanced at the symbol that had been carefully etched into the stone. The carving vaguely resembled the letter F, though the horizontal marks remained on a downward slope. "This one here..." Erick nods to the stone, "Means be ready for the unexpected or changes."
As Erick finishes, the back tire of the van hits a pot hole, causing them to bounce on the not so kind seat cushions. For that moment, Erick had expected the rusted bottom of the van to give out under their weight.
