Burying the Lead

"Haven't had a chance to look at the contents yet. Let's see what's on it." Numa opens the file(s) he copied.

Nov 29, 2022 2:00 am

Numa opens the blackmail file that he got from Vikktor's deck and finds a slew of incriminating evidence on all four of you including surveillance on jobs you've pulled, photos of murders committed, account numbers and family addresses. Though there is also information on several runners with whom you are not familiar, there is nothing on Jaws.

Nov 29, 2022 2:11 am

Seeing the lack of incriminating evidence, Sergei can only utter:

"Mother bitch!"

Nov 29, 2022 2:13 am

Turning back to the call, Sergei puts back on his game face.

"So what of it, Jaws? What’s the cut, are you going to front it, and how are we getting in? The more info the better for us to load out, choombata."

I've got two g apiece if you bring me what I want, half up front. The Arasaka corporate plaza is five main towers and a large underground complex. The biolab is in tower two on the twenty-fifth floor, the collections department that holds your bounty account can be accessed from the mainframe in that lab. It's the only system I can get you to with high enough security clearance to access Arasaka Asset Control. I've got a virus for Numa that will search out and delete any trace of you four in their system, just gotta tap in and upload. Easy-greasy choom. My guy will let you past the turrets at the checkpoint on twenty-five, you gotta get my prize and wipe the data before security gets you then get out and THAT'S the fun part. Exfil on the roof of tower two by V-toll. See the tricks I turn for you comrade? Who loves ya baby?

In the background, neither trying to let Jaws hear nor trying to be secretive, Zeta says with dripping sarcasm, this guy is SOOO much better than Vikktor

Numa grunts when he sees the information. "Well ain't that some shit. Can't say I'm surprised though." Numa cross-references the runners who are unfamiliar to him, see if there is any current information or even if they're still alive.

Library or Local roll?

Sergei sighs and responds to Jaws.

"We take job. But first let’s discuss some other points. First, we must know how we will enter. Repairmen or something of the such? Secondly, with the bounty it no safe for us to load up supplies. You send us what we need for job. Finally, when do you suggest we act? I would like to as soon as we load out. Thoughts?"

might just be me, but I’m not going out looking like my mugshot now that it’s been plastered by every media. Either we get a spin doctor to close the case on us or I’m gonna need a wig. And a nose.

Mr. Brett friend and wipes the milk stache from his face

"Jaws, I know I was clear. I want my full cut up front and bonus on completion. You don't fuck us and then pretend like the fix is doing us a favor. That's the fucking deal."

What do you need that you don't have choom? Look I'm layin' low myself in the wake of that shit show, I guess I could get another team to klep the hard drive I need in that lab but kind hearted guy that I am I figured it only right to give you first dibs.

Jaws pauses as Brett yells his bit over Sergei's shoulder,

Get ahold of your team Sergei. Deal is like I told ya, only way you're gonna wipe that bounty is to play ball. Money is sent, same amount will transfer when the drive hits the drop spot. You're looking for an armored briefcase that contains a particularly dangerous sort of AI that Arasaka has isolated from the Old NET so whatever the duck you do, don't open it. My guy inside is the security guy that guards the elevator on twenty-five, graveyard shift so go tonight.

With that the call terminates and 1000¥ is transfered to each of your accounts.

Mr. Brett looks up at the ceiling and takes a long slow deep breath. He looks Sergei in the eyes, purses his lips as he clenches his jaw and nods.

"What did he say?"

Dec 1, 2022 12:16 am

"Cocksucker!"

Sergei stares at the phone in disbelief for a moment but then pulls his shit together.

"I know what you are thinking, but we have job to do. Finish job then lodge complaint."

Sergei imitates firing a gun twice with his fingers.

"We need info. Tower security, all of that. We need to get to that floor in full battle rattle if we want to pull this off. Numa, you on it?"

OOC:

Paul, do I understand that right? We have to get to the 25th floor on our own? And he’s only giving us two thousand a piece?

Added library roll to my post, nat 1 lol. Let me know what roll for acquiring blueprints and security info on the target building.

Dec 3, 2022 3:37 pm

OOC:

You got it right. Numa can give me another 3 library checks to find up to 3 pieces of relevant intel.

$¥2000 seems a bit light for a Matrix style extrication. Jaws is a motherfucker.
