So just to do a quick wrap up so far, Midge Dabrinka has beenoozled
away in getting a power outage to start as a distraction to start your mission.
Not well, but I did it happened. Ice Pick Prescott got an
intel from how good his assess role went and basically found out some weird situations
happening on the roof of the building of the main hub for Exotic Transports as
well as figured the best way in would probably be the sewers and the best
way out would probably be the ventilation. And Ren Bray did some research on
his own of just like the recent goings on at Exotic Transports, has also
got an intel of his own and has figured out basically where the security is
that they're protecting this thing pretty well. Some heavy viamon to say the least.
That leaves us with Big Snake Turbo. Is there anything you want to
do as far as legwork goes, Is there anyone when you want to hit
up? Okay? Is there any research you want to do? Unfortunately,
I think someone up is going to require a style role and that is my
dumpstat A no one lives forever true, and you do have a gear if
you want to try and supplement roles. I was thinking about visiting ex corporate
board member Danny Northrop. Appreciate you forgiving me a name. Okay, you
need anything else from the air. Okay, you're at a pub. You're
at like fucking the oldie ol' mally's authentic Irish pub. Not an Irish guy
that runs that place for for sure. For sure. No, definitely a
Russian with a scar and need to let that know. Shout out to Sancho
O'Malley is in Narragansett anyway, beautiful Danny ex Corporo. Maybe not exactly by
choice. I would say he definitely fell out, but he's still got a
lot of friends. He's like thirty eight, but he looks fifty because that's
what those types of jobs do to you in fucking cyberpunk land. Hell yeah,
bit of a belly on him. We're past a five o'clock shadow,
when we're firmly at a eleven pm shadow. Let's just say, been a
rough couple of days for Danny Northrup. He has been invited golfing in months.
Oh oh, he's getting a little cranky. Not even disc golf,
damn. But he'll join you for drinks at the bar. Brackets, you're
definitely paying bits nake, Turbo. Anyway, this motherfucker's got more money than
I'll ever see in my life, and he's making me buy drinks. I
mean, I'll do it, but I'm gonna bitch about it to all my
friends later. First now, and then you're actually with us. He is
bitching to his iron all friends, and then he's enough pitched to you guys
and character later. It's beautiful. That's the socks move I've ever heard one.
Anyway, you both have a shot of o'duels. No, it's for
really real whiskey. We promise whiskey. Oh yeah. Shout outs to mitche
l Ibravikovich, who runs the most authentic Irish pub in the entire city.
There's no more authentic cub in the all the land Irish pub Come sit at
bar, drink so you're on the second toast. Danny takes a drink,
gives a good old grimace because this is basically paint thinner. So Turbo,
I know, I know you're not willing to reminisce for old times sake,
So how can I help you? What can I do for we've been hearing
some buzz. Well, let's just say there's a job coming up. I
need a bit of low down from you. Oh well, you're gonna have
to give me at least a little bit to go on. You want the
digs. What do you know about Exotic Transports? They're low on the totem
pole. For the subsidiary, they've been mostly dealing with like experimental, like
AI for running roots. You know, livery service branch all that. If
I wanted to know any of that, I could have picked up a magazine.
Well, what you really got to be thinking about then is the head
cheese Exotics United. Now, don't you h where it is that? They've
got quite a bit of heavy hardware coming in. It's such a low on
the totem pole transport company. That's got to mean something now that that's the
real question, that isn't it? Come on, Danny, this is gonna
be outside of hitting the street. But can you roll style for me?
Fuck? Which is for fast talk? Oh man, unless you have something
that can uh, let's see what's your mean stat? Edge? All right?
You know what? How about this roll assessed for me? Oh my
god, you would Edge. I'm mildly edging You're not getting any intel from
this like Zoom did. But I'm gonna give you a list of questions like
I did with Zood. Pick three of them. What potential complications do I
need to be wary of? What do I notice a siton effort to conceal
it? How is Blank vulnerable to me? How can I avoid trouble or
hide here? Maybe not all that useful, best way in outer past?
Where can I gain the most advantage? Who or what is my biggest threat
in the situation? Who or what is in control here? I'm gonna start
with who are what is in control here? Look, I've seen the list
of machines they got coming in and out of that place. You can't tell
me this is just their parent corporation. They don't have this kind of hardware.
Just for no reason. Danny looks off in the distance for a second
and goes, let me guess you're asking about Lingway, you're asking about mister
Jonathan gresh And and you're asking about coal. Right, those are three names
that have bopped up in my lists of very important people lately. Well,
they happen to be the heads of the security branch the communications branch, including
cutting a radio and like gamma transmissions and the head of the scientific branch.
If you want the list of questions again, I got you. Uh yeah,
Who or what is the biggest threat in the situation? Where can I
gain the most advantage? What is the best way in out past? How
do I avoid trouble or hide? Here? I was blank? Vulnerable to
me? What do I notice despite an effort to conceal it? What potential
complication do I need to be wary of? The second option? Where can
you gain the most advantage? Well, it might sound obvious, which is
annoying, but Exotics United seems to be the people making big moves here,
which indicate that they know something about what's going on more than anybody else.
Everyone's making a move on them right now because they've unfortunately played their hand on
They know some shit's coming. They're holding the chips as far as the information
situation goes. So that's it. Then, you did, who's in control
here? Where can I gain the most advantage? You have one more?
Anything else I should be wary about here? Any other complication should see wary
of. This shouldn't just be a conjecture. But I kind of have some
inends, took up more new you know, information channels than your average bear.
And you did help me out in that dust up back at Big Corn
all those years ago. So I'll tell you this about two months ago.
Town about seven twelve miles south of Neo l Pass, so one of the
last you know, not a big place like two one thousand, two thousand
people posts got blipped out. Governments sealed it up. So it's so the
rumors are coming through that there was a big government crackdown there, that they're
shutting something down. And then after that everyone got super quiet with all my
friends and with all the corporations that are throughout out on here. And some
tells me people are waiting for the other shoot to drop on that, and
some tells me Exotic Transports could might know something. Well, it's not much
to go on, but it's something I guess. Thanks Danny, no problem,
Turbo. Hey, this one's on me. He hands you the equivalent
of a butt wiser. Quiet. I'm gonna take it. Cheers. You
got a minute or two, let's catch up you guys talking to camera pans
out Ye, yeah, okay, here's what we're gonna do. Then,
m h, that was very good. I like that a lot. You
get too old hit the streets for me. Oh, that's pretty good.
Past it's marginal. It did pass. You can either choose to get a
gear or intel out of this. The consequence is that someone's in a note
this conversation and a clock might advance. You can choose either intel or gear.
I think I'm going to take intel, and I also have one gear
from getting the job right. That is true. That is the option you
took. As the group pans out, the conversation flutters and there's just this
nondescript guy casually gets out of the bar, that makes a phone call,
and I advance a clock. Special thanks to Toys and Things in dan Versus,
