Disaster run
[In an effort to convince us she is not some sort of spy, Beverly 'Lightswift' Puller is allowing a small group to accompany on one of her work routes. She sends a tell giving coordinates to meet her - in Andromeda]
Lightswift: Was it a good flight?
Dagget: quick enough
Lightswift: nods
Nulion: Very...very out of the way.
Nutmeg: Hello, Beverly!
Lightswift: Ok...my contacts are not usually to pleased about me bringing tag alongs....so I may ask you guys to stay kind of...you know...out of the way
Lightswift: Hello Nutmeg
Nulion: nods
Nutmeg: Ok.. I'll hang back. But I do hope that we can be in earshot as needed.
[Reets the group]
Dagget: how about this?
Nulion: It's understandable....We'll do our best to
Nutmeg: chirps innocently
Dagget: less con****ious
Lightswift: heh, well the first stop is a pick up indoors
Dagget: ok
Nulion: Won't do us much good then. *smiles a little*
Lightswift: Unfortunatly I don't get to choose the pickup locations...and this particular one seems to be in a temple nearby....which unfortunatly seems to have some Omni guards
Dagget: ok, even less con****ous
[Leets Meg and himself]
Nutmeg: Beverly, is there a chance you can teach my nanobots to help me run faster?
Lightswift: grins
Nulion: Omni guards..? It wouldn't be that settlement just west of here, would it?
Nutmeg: smiles
Lightswift: nods
Lightswift: Yeah. He contacted me a couple days ago. This guy is a bit of a renegade.
Lightswift: He calls, I pick up and deliver, he pays
Dagget: lead on
Nulion: works the bugs out of his sneaking gear
Lightswift: pretty simple
Lightswift: try and keep up
Nutmeg: tries really hard to keep her emotions out of this.
[we travel to the nearby outpost, sending a few guards to reclaim along the way]
Nutmeg: squeeks
Nulion: Yep. Don't take it we're very welcome..
Lightswift: heh....hope they don't have too much of a headache at reclaim
Lightswift: hmm...sorry grid issues. Took off the grid armour but still having some throwback
Nutmeg: nods
Nulion: It happens *smile*
Lightswift: checks the door
Lightswift: nope....not this one
Dagget: no entry
Lightswift: Must be up
Nulion: Hmm...
Nutmeg: scratches the ground
[the entrance is located...]
Nulion: looks around..
Lightswift: That everyone?
Dagget: yes
Nulion: Nobody following us or anything, if that's what you mean.
Lightswift: Ok. He said the place should be empty...so lets hope he is right
Lightswift: grumbles
Dagget: just a rat
Lightswift: rollerrats.....I can hear them....hate those things
Dagget: all here
Nulion: Hmm...Seems there are things on this floor.
Lightswift: checking directions
Dagget: neutral
Lightswift: No...we're good
Lightswift: this way
[at the top level we encounter Beverly's contact]
Lightswift: Bynazz
Lightswift: Good to see you
Bynazz: Beverly
Lightswift: smiles
Bynazz: looks towards the guests
Nulion: stays quiet, looking at Bynazz
Lightswift: Odd place to meet this time...had to take out a few Omni Guards on the way in
Nutmeg: sniffs the garbage
Bynazz: These not be MY friend..
Bynazz: you bring who to see me?
Bynazz: motions towards the glowing leets.
Nulion: chuckles a little down at Nutmeg and Dagget
Lightswift: Don't worry about these guys. They're alright. Um....Trainees...for the business you know?
Bynazz: raises a hand towards the man with the spiked shoulders.
Lightswift: Gotta be sure to leave some roots
Bynazz: nods
Bynazz: fine, fine.
Bynazz: No tricks
Nulion: ....No tricks, of course.
Lightswift: Have I let you down in the past?
Bynazz: reaches a hand into his pocket.
Lightswift: They're with me...They're ok
Bynazz: shakes his head, and flashes a keen smile
Bynazz: never Beverly, never failed me.
Lightswift: grins
Lightswift: Well I'm not going to start now...so what have you got for me?
Bynazz: for you...
Bynazz: expect no less...
Bynazz: ...then perfect.
Bynazz: shakes his head slowly.
Bynazz: but this, ...touchy, touchy.
Bynazz: was hard work, to have it here.
Lightswift: Yeah, it's always Touchy touchy...what is it? Love letters to your wife?
Lightswift: chuckles
Bynazz: closes his eyes, and sighs
Nulion: stays quiet, clutching his rifle a little...looking a bit nervous
Bynazz: not be of such flattery...
Bynazz: joking not, when say...dangerous and important
Bynazz: My business...never about love.
Bynazz: Love be lost in our affairs
Bynazz: frowns and looks away...
Lightswift: Alrighty
Bynazz: you want?
Lightswift: Well, sorry to bring you down my friend
Lightswift: nods
Lightswift: Aye....Just transmit my drop location after handing it to me
Bynazz: pulls a small package from inside his cloak and holds it out to Lightswift, cautious staring down the guests.
Nulion: looks away for a moment, looking around the room...
Bynazz: bows and steps back.
Lightswift: looks at the package and then looks up at Bynazz
Lightswift: Light huh? Must be info....
Lightswift: slips the package into her bag
Bynazz: careful...not meant for all
Lightswift: nods
Lightswift: Where is the drop?
Lightswift: types in her NCU
Bynazz: pulls up his sleeve, and pushes down on a screen implant...a few beeps are heard.
Bynazz: looks up at Lightswift
Lightswift: looks down at her NCU and nods
Bynazz: give time...
Nulion: scratches his leg a little, still nervous..
Lightswift: yup, I know
Lightswift: Just watching
Lightswift: crikey.....
Lightswift: This must be big deal huh?
Bynazz: be gone soon...
Lightswift: I'll need some more insurrnace if I am going there
Bynazz: be it, is. time is short.
Lightswift: nods
Bynazz: looks towards the guests and then back to lightswift
Lightswift: Your Organization will have to put up a bit more than usual, but I can get it done
Bynazz: nods
Lightswift: After all....I don't ever let you down do I?
Bynazz: done.
Nulion: looks at Bynazz again, taking a deep breath
Lightswift: winks
Nutmeg: sniffs the box
Bynazz: watch the shadows....beverly.
Lightswift: Next time, can we do this in a pub or something?
Lightswift: nods
Lightswift: always
Bynazz: public, yes. next time will meet.
Lightswift: smiles
Lightswift: But we shall not know each others names...
Lightswift: Nor know each others faces....
Lightswift: smiles
Lightswift: as always
Bynazz: evil be glowing eyes in the shadows.
Lightswift: Take care Bynazz. until we meet for the first time....again
Lightswift: lets go
Bynazz: now, move with speed
Nulion: waves a tiny bit to Binazz
Nulion: ....That man made me quite uneasy..
Lightswift: He has that affect
Dagget: nutmeg, unleet
[we leave the building]
Dagget: ready
Dagget: where we headed?
Lightswift: smiles
Nutmeg: His accent is very interesting.
Lightswift: He is quite old. Not sure where he got the accent from
Lightswift: Give me a second. I need to just confirm this
Nulion: Off-world, maybe?
Lightswift: shrugs
Lightswift: types some coordinates in her NCU
Nutmeg: It seems our leet ruse didn't fool him a bit, though.
Nulion: Well...leets in here kind of stick out *smiles a bit*
Dagget: but he didn't see our faces
Lightswift: Well he's old but he aint dumb
Dagget: and Nuli can change his
Lightswift: I think he saw Nulion
Nutmeg: It seems he has mastered the art of forgetting, though.
Lightswift: But that's ok. You don't have to worry about him...unless of course we fail the mission. heh
Lightswift: North
Nulion: ....North? Alright.
Lightswift: 4 holes. Hostile territory
Nulion: Quite a ways from here.
Dagget: fly?
Lightswift: checks her map
Nulion: Well, not TOO far.
Lightswift: you can fly if you want. I always do this on foot
Lightswift: grins
[we run North]
Lightswift: checks her map
Nulion: ....What are those in the distance? Never been here before, actually.
Lightswift: Been a while since I have run through here
Lightswift: Just watch yourself. No Suppression gas in here
Nulion: Don't worry about us.
Lightswift: here Nulion...hang on to this for me
Lightswift: Thanks
Lightswift: grins
Nulion: puts it safely into one of his packs
Nutmeg: smiles
Lightswift: now, don't get dead
Nulion: smiles
Nulion: Hmm...hot.
Nulion: THose look like the walls of Athen...
Lightswift: Watch yourself. Old Terraforming buildings
Lightswift: checks her map again
Lightswift: Should be right here....
Lightswift: ponders
Lightswift: checks her map again
Dagget: locked door here
Nulion: Don't see any other doors...
Lightswift: Wonder if the old fool got the location wrong
Nutmeg: That would be bad, right?
Lightswift: Naw, it'd be fine. I'd just have to find him and kill him
Lightswift: chuckles
Lightswift: Going to try and remap the coords. One moment
Nulion: laughs a little, nervous
Nutmeg: nods her left head
Lightswift: Alright.....I see where I went wrong
Lightswift: grr....my bad
Lightswift: So...Reynaldo Marone
Nulion: huffs a bit
Nulion: ...Not the speaking type?
Lightswift: guess that's not him
Lightswift: ugh
Lightswift: we are high heat here
Lightswift: Raymond Orbin
Lightswift: Birdsong?
Dagget: omni incoming
Lightswift: nods
Lightswift: yeah This is not going as planned
Nulion: reloads his rifle...
Lightswift: He has to be somewhere around here
Lightswift: Mona Miyashiro
[we contimue to probe about the mine, questionioning people and shooting pesky guards]
Lightswift: damnit. This is not right!
Nulion: A lot more heat than we expected, right?
Lightswift: Hell yes.
Lightswift: For a shut down mine....
Lightswift: wait a second....
Lightswift: This mine is still active!
Lightswift: curses
Nulion: Still active?? Your contact could have mentioned this...!
[Suddenly, a very powerful person attacks the group, killing Beverly instantly]
[System] Attacked by Brian Horn!
[We flee the area]
Nulion: Anybody able to contact her??
Dagget: big guy was tough
Nutmeg: No! She's gone!1
Nulion: Damn!!!
Dagget: fp fixer and grid us out
Nulion: fumbles with his nano programs..
Nulion: C...cmon, don't fail me now...
Nulion: looks at the Urgent Sensitive Information he was given
Nulion: I have it, Dagget.
Nulion: And I have no idea what it is...not heavy though.
Nutmeg: We really should try and figure out where to deliver it.
Nutmeg: Especially if Bev isn't around.
Nulion: ....I wouldn't have a clue
Dagget: I think that guy was it
Nutmeg: Aparently not.
Nutmeg: frowns
Nulion: ...I'm sure as hell not going back around him.
Dagget: maybe was planned to double cross her and us
Dagget: should we go back to andromada?
Nutmeg: Or maybe it was because we were along with her.
Nutmeg: I don't see the point in going to Andromeda.
Nulion: ...Could be.
Dagget: tell the guy what happened
Dagget: if he is there
Nutmeg: Bynazz is sure to be long gone.
Dagget: otherwise we do nothing but go home
Dagget: what was that guys name back there?
Nulion: Brian Horn, yes.
Dagget: we need to go
Nutmeg: Brian Horn was the guy who killed Brv
Dagget: now
Nulion: Still nothing from her...
Dagget: she went to a reclaim if anywhere
Dagget: go to Rebel I say
Nutmeg: shudders
Nutmeg: I agrrree. The rebel it is.
Nulion: The Rebel? *accesses his nano program interface*
Nulion: Here we go.

[Back at The Rebel]
Nutmeg: God, I need a drink!
Nulion: pants, out of breath...
Nulion: D...damn, I hate that nano.
Dagget: that packet is probably time sensitive
Nulion: ...Chances are, it is. *stares down at it*
Dagget: can you open it?
Dagget: hack it?
Nulion: .....I don't know if I want to.
Dagget: we can't very well deliver it now
Nutmeg: No we can't
Nutmeg: And, we have torn loyalties.
Dagget: so maybe we see what info there is
Dagget: it may give us clues that could help unravel this and maybe find Bev
Nutmeg: douses the sparklies
Nulion: ....But Dagget, if Bev finds out that I opened it...
Nutmeg: We have to make some choices
Nulion: sighs, staring at it, not seeing any obvious way to open it
Dagget: well, she died trying to deliver it...
Nutmeg: Let me ask you guys a couple of questions, ok?
Dagget: use a hacking tool on it
Dagget: ok
Nulion: Yes, Nutmeg?
Nutmeg: First of all, remember why we went tonight. Did either of you see or hear anything that may lead you to think that Bev isn't being loyal to the clans?
Dagget: no way to know
Nutmeg: Well, she was delivering to an Omni mine.
Dagget: she was delivering information from a clanner to an omni it appeared
Nutmeg: But, she was surprised that the mine was active.
Dagget: so she doesn't gain any with us on that
Nulion: And she was attacked, regardless.
Nutmeg: nods
Nutmeg: So the verdict on Bev's loyalties is still out, right?
Dagget: it could have been a set up for us to observe
Dagget: yes, still out
Dagget: but the packet -might- hold clues
Nulion: If it was a setup....then what the hell is this package? I know, stupid question as I won't open it.
Nutmeg: nods
Dagget: save Nuli, so you can't be looted of it
Nutmeg: Well, who do we know with the resources to open it? Simon, definatly; but probably not a good idea.
Dagget: post it
Nulion: I'm going to.
Nulion: Urgent Sensitive Information
Dagget: well, for now nothing to do, I guess
Nutmeg: Sure there is, Dagget. We need to think of who can help us.
Nulion: sighs deeply
Nulion: Well....I'm insured.
Dagget: I was already
Dagget: that guy nearly nailed me
Nutmeg: listens to dagget
Nulion: Was worried for you, Dagget....that was entirely too close..
Dagget: he was not fast in pursueing, though
Dagget: we just have to wait now
Nutmeg: Who do we trust to help with this?
Dagget: to see where Bev turns up
Dagget: Raw and Rev and few others
Nutmeg: If she turns up.
Nutmeg: Dagget do you honestly think Raw or Rev can open this info packet?
Dagget: or the guy who gave her the packet
Dagget: well, you know any reliable lvl 220 fixers?
Nutmeg: Yeah.. we need to watch for his comm unit. Who else?
Nulion: sighs deeply
Dagget: Bynazz I am monitoring for
Nutmeg: You think one of our friends can actually get information accurately from that packet?
Nulion: Dagget, this packet...I don't know. What if the info inside it could get us killed?
Dagget: Nuli, we either do nothing or we open it
Dagget: and it is, for now, our only clue
Nutmeg: tries not to get too angry.
Nulion: Nutmeg, don't get angry...he's right.
Nulion: But....even so....
Nutmeg: Dagget! We don't do nothing. We figure out WHO can help us. Maybe Bynaz, or Breathless, or Therno, or Simon.. But we need to think who to trust with this.
Dagget: and if it is time sensitive...
Nutmeg: It is.. At least Bynazz said as much.
Dagget: I vote we at least attempt to open it
Dagget: if we can't we try to find someone esle...otherwise we do nothing
Nutmeg: That is a good idea, even if it proves to be futile.
Nutmeg: Nothing?
Dagget: lack of knowledge is our biggest enemy at the moment
Nutmeg: Who would you think could gain access to the information?
Dagget: they will have searched bev and realized she wasn't carrying the package
Dagget: and look for us
Nutmeg: Yep, we are marked indeed.
Nutmeg: So.....
Nutmeg: Who would you think could gain access to the information?
Nulion: ...Hopefully they don't know WHERE we are.
Dagget: if we don't open it, how can it be of any use to anyone now?
Nutmeg: Who would you think could gain access to the information?
Dagget: 220 fixer
Nutmeg: Who would you think could gain access to the information?
Nulion: I think she wants names, Dagget.
Dagget: although for all we know, we have enough skill
Dagget: I don't know a single fixer over 200
Dagget: let alone a reliable one
Dagget: I still say you should try to hack it 1st...if you succceed, then no need to find outside help
Dagget: then we sit on it and go about our business
Dagget: no one could know 'which' of us has it
Dagget: Markonen might be able to do something
Dagget: but he is in hiding
Nutmeg: nods
Nulion: I remember he had contacts...but I never met them.
Nutmeg: If we see him, maybe we could bring it to his attention. But assuming we can't. How about Breathless? James trusted her.
Dagget: no, I don't think so
Dagget: I'm guessing that events will move forward simply because it is missing
Dagget: well, lets go back to life and keep our eyes open
Nutmeg: Well, I bet Simon could read it. But what does that say about our loyalties to Bev? And do we have loyalties to Bev?
Nulion: ....I try to have loyalties to her.
Dagget: not sure that Simon or Jacon is best to give it to
Nutmeg: Why not?
Nutmeg: I'm being the Devil's Advocate here.
Dagget: but if no other alternative appears, then maybe give to them
Dagget: they might keep the info to themselves and use it to leverage theri positions
Nutmeg: How about Elisabeth?
Nulion: ...I don't know about you guys, but did that man's jacket concern you? At all? I'm sorry if this sounds off-track.
Nutmeg: I took a photo of it.
Dagget: we can always take the approach to shove it in the hands of the 1st one we see
Nutmeg: Maybe we can ask around.
Nulion: And his organization was giving our NCU some errors...couldn't decipher it.
Nutmeg: Me either.
Nutmeg: Well, if we gave it to Simon what might happen?
Nulion: Even if we decode this info....it seems like some important stuff that, if it got into the wrong hands...who knows what hell could break loose?
Dagget: dunno
Dagget: well, hell already broke loose
Nutmeg: 1.. It might contain anti clan stuff. Or stuff that shows that bev is a trator..
Nutmeg: 2. It shows information that is just someone money gathering system, and Bev is off the hook.
Nutmeg: 3. It shows that Bev is activily helping the clans, and Bev is off the hook.
Nutmeg: Which of those is a bad thing for the clans?
Dagget: bottom line is we need to get it to someone who might be able to read it
Nutmeg: Good point.. There is a number 4.
Nutmeg: 4 It has infomaiton the Simon can use to gain even more power.
Dagget: well, opening it may release a virus on us
Nutmeg: Good thought. 5.
Nulion: listens quietly, occasionally looking at the package..
Nutmeg: sighs
Dagget: we're not going to solve the riddle here and now
Nutmeg: I don't know what to do either. But I sure would like to hear Raw's opinion too.
Dagget: is Chrisax awake?
Nulion: Not sure...
Nutmeg: I am sorry I was getting annoyed. This time it was largly my own fault.
Nulion: It's okay, Nutmeg...*smiles a little..*
Dagget: we can talk to Raw and give it to a greenie, that's about it
Dagget: Markonen would be ideal, though
Nulion: Would be, if he were still around..
Nutmeg: Well, not just any greenie. We need to think carefully who.
Nutmeg: My biggest hope is that Bev walks through that door in 5 minutes, and says "Whew, that was a rough one, where is my package, Nulion?"
Dagget: it could also be info that saves the clans
Nutmeg: But I don't think we can just wait for that to happen.
Dagget: Raw, Markonen, Simon, in that order of perference, i think
Nutmeg: Oh, I know, Dagg. We need to figure out who to trust in this. And Raw would be a good place to start.
Nutmeg: Yep
Dagget: so nothing to do right now
Nutmeg: Sounds good to me, Dagg. Nuli? What do you think?
Nulion: It sounds good to me.
Nulion: sighs deeply...
Nulion: ....Personally, I want to speak with Bev. But I see that's not too possible...
Dagget: she'll just say she delivers stuff and knows nothing of the content
Nutmeg: I mostly am really worried for her. I hope she's ok.
Nulion: shivers a little, remembering what Bev said
Nutmeg: What she said, When?
Nulion: Did you two hear what she said when we entered 4 Holes and gave me the package?
Dagget: there is also always the small possibility that the whole thing was set up to get her in our good stead
Nulion: Said that we have nothing to worry about, unless we fail the mission.
Nulion: ....Looks like we failed.
Nutmeg: Ya , it does.
Nutmeg: shivers at the thought
Dagget: well, the mission failed us
Dagget: ok, I need to get back to OA and deal with some guild stuff
Dagget: but I'll be watching for that fellow who gave Bev the package
