Two brothers who only handle the bounty hunter thing part time." * <GM> * "And the blonde guy...You got me. Never heard of him. Sounds like half the creeps running around Seattle." * <FenixHawk> "Find out what bounty he is working on. And for whom." <Nova> "Any info about their recent assignments? Where to find them? Anything?" <GM> * "Hell if I know." * <Nova> "You sure you don't know, or just won't tell me for free?" <GM> * "The troll is definately Diablo, though...you never forget him. You could try his bounty contractor, but you won't get anywhere with HIM...Why would he sell out his best worker?" * <Nova> "Who's his contractor?" <GM> * "Greasy palms make the world go round... Slot the stick, Omae." * <GM> * "That's paydata. Cost you a 1000." * <GM> * You're 1000 nuyen poorer. * <GM> * Johnson: "His name's Rico." * <GM> * He sends you an LTG. * <Nova> "Any address?" <GM> * Roll charisma. * <GM> * And pray. *

<Nova> ((...)) <GM> * ... * <GM> * He rattles off an address. * <Nova> "Thanks." <GM> * "Don't mention it." * <GM> * "...I mean it, don't mention who gave you that address." * <Nova> "What address?" <GM> * "Good job." * <GM> * He hangs up. * <FenixHawk> "The power of contacts." <Nova> "We still could be having nothing." <FenixHawk> "I'm betting if we could find the file that has Allan's bounty in it, we would find a contact number for the buyer, and maybe... maybe a meeting place. Maybe more, maybe better, maybe nothing, maybe worse." <FenixHawk> "Can you deck?" <Nova> "No, but I know a decker." <Nova> "Got some food on you?" <FenixHawk> "We can go get some. Plan, over a pizza." <FenixHawk> "Make sure and keep a receipt with the money you slotted to be reimbursed." <GM> * Azreal squeels! "Eeee! Pizza!" * <GM> * Nova, there are some petri dishes with fungi in them on a glass shelf...looks not so bad. * <FenixHawk> "And if you have a decker, put him on the job, we have a budget of 9000¥... but try to get him to do it for 5000 or less." <FenixHawk> "Deckers are expensive." <GM> * 11:30 am. * <FenixHawk> "We need all the information that we can get on this bounty, and who Diablo is answering too." <Nova> "Yeah.. with that LTG I got he may be able to get some data on our mark.."
 * Nova turns to Fenix
 * Nova takes a deep breath.
 * FenixHawk stands up "Pizza time."
 * Nova looks at the petri dishes..
 * Nova sighs.. "Let's get that pizza, I'm thinking strangely.."

<FenixHawk> "We also need to find out when the Mark is set to leave the country." <GM> * Allan said 9 PM, but that was his own personal flight...And he also may have been giving you the current time at that moment, being high off his rocker and all. You aren't sure. * <FenixHawk> "Watch this." <Nova> "Yeaah..." <GM> * "Mmmm, y'ello?" * <FenixHawk> "Mr. Johnson. This is FenixHawk. Good day to you." <GM> * "Yeah, whatever." * <GM> * "What're you calling me for?" * <FenixHawk> "I'm calling to verify the location and flight time. 9p.m. 2 hours south of Seattle. Has it been changed?" <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "What flight time?? What are you talk...Is this a cell phone??" * <GM> * "I don't know you! Quit calling me! Prank caller! Prank caller!" * <GM> * He disconnects. * <FenixHawk> "Jerk." <Nova> "..." <FenixHawk> "Doesn't anyone understand what ECCM and Flux is?" <FenixHawk> "Not that I do... but hell." <Nova> "If we get the kid, we may be able to get that info from him, they are probably not so generous to give him drugs to ease his pain.." <GM> * You guys are pretty sure the flight is at 9pm...Allan mentioned the flight being MONDAY NIGHT several times. * <GM> * You can, however; bark up the wrong tree for hours. * <FenixHawk> "Call your Decker, eh?" <Nova> "Oh yeah.." <GM> * Azreal squeels and plays with a rubic's cube in Patch's waiting room. * <FenixHawk> "I'll bring some Pizza back." *tosses Nova his credstick* "9k, no more. 5k or less is better." <GM> * "This is Big Willy Style. What's up?" * <Nova> "Hey Willy, it's Nova, can you do a search for me?" <GM> * "Speak up, I can't hear you." <GM> * "Hahah! Bet you thought I was an answering machine, didn't you?" * <GM> * "So many people are using that shit now." * <Nova> "Yeah.. you got me." <GM> * "Seriously though, what's up?" * <Nova> "I need to get info from someone, and you're another someone that can help me." <GM> * "Help you how?" * <Nova> "Well.. you are a decker, and a decker is just what I need." <GM> * Big Willy: "Well then, tell me what you want me to deck and I'll name my price." * <Nova> "A guy named Rico, he might have info on one kid I need to lay my hands on, I have his LTG and an address if that helps." <GM> * "Okay, what kid?" * <Nova> "Allan Smythe, looks kind of like Doogie Howzer." <GM> "Alright, what kind of work does Rico do?" * <Nova> "He pays bounty hunters to do their job.. Allan is one of his marks." <GM> * "Ouch." * <GM> * "Sucks to be him." * <GM> * "Alright...3,000 and I'll do it. Piece of cake." * <Nova> "How much do you want in advance?" <GM> * "Slot me the cred and I'll be right on it." * <GM> * You take the risk of paying in advance... * <GM> * "I'll call you back." * <GM> * Click. *

<GM> * Fenix, you get pizza from "Three Dwarf's and a Midget Pizza" * <GM> * You bring back the pizza. You're halfway through the pie when Willy calls Nova back. * <GM> * Beep beep. * <GM> * "Yo, it's Big Willy Style." <GM> * "I got hat information you wanted." * <Nova> "Great, send it in" <GM> * "The contract on Allan Smythe is an open one, put out by an unknown, utilizing a special fund.

It specifies that if killed, the subject MUST BE delivered within 4 hours." * <GM> * "Or it voids the contract." * <Nova> "Where do they want him?" <GM> * "Just a contact number is given. That's all." * <Nova> "Okay, give me the number. Anything else?" <GM> * "Uhh, just some information on whose taken on the job.

I'll call you back." * <GM> * He hangs up. * <GM> * It's 12:15pm. * <GM> * And here we pause. *
