Notice 12 or 10 danger sense
Thanks Frank your a credit to your race. Danny keeps a careful eye on the map Johnny got him. Every nook and cranny get a careful look. Reminds me of operation Dead Drop back in the war. CS brigade on the west was heavily fortified and getting ready to launch a counter offensive. Nesstled on an old industrial town, prerift sewers snaked in and out of that place. Geist sent my team in to blow the support structures of that base. We did... It was only after the war I learned it was actually a refugee camp... Camp Kander. Danny shudders at the memory of his naive participation in killing innocents. What he did not know was that he probably put those refugees out of their misery as camp Kander was a fabled place for dispicible torture and testing on D-bees.He whispers to Frank, ” Look for something or several somethings ready to blow this place down.” Danny even softly blows a few notes on his heavenly flute givimg him a chance to see something with a magical signature.

Arvalis goes about making contacts and figuring out who Ulithrax should be talking to. He dips his toe into several discussions, doing his best to pry reactions to the flyover and gauging the mood of the room.Ulithrax then moves through the crowd, smiling and glad-handing as many important-looking people as he can, but guided by Arvalis' hints as to who he should focus on. He makes informed conversation on polite topics, occasionally hinting at the recent unrest and the flyover to gauge the subject's willingness to talk and probing their opinions on the events. "Such bold overtures seem to be preludes to all-out war, but I daresay even the Coalition is not ready to insert itself into another major conflict on the heels of the Tolkeen unpleasantness."

Lance seems to be mingling, but in fact he mostly is hanging around in the general vicinity of Helga's dwarven husband. He figures that Peter could be targeted by those seeking to undermine Helga's efforts to keep the peace. Better to make certain no one gets to him. Of course, he also listens in on the dwarf's conversation; it might reveal something interesting.Or at least, that was his intent. However, at some point, the dogboy gets turned around, and ends up lost in the crowd, then down a hallway he's not supposed to be in. The security politely but firmly escorts him back to the main room before he can get up to any further mischief, and he just barely has time to make it to the conference room for the meeting with Helga.

"Be discreet. It's best if we're just assumed to be guests of Helga. If there's trouble, its even better if they do not know Helga has backup on hand," Rika whispers over comms as the team, minus Danny, enter the Red Harbor Country Club.After Helga greets her and the team, and once she has introduced them to her husband, rika bows slightly and responds in kind, "It is always a pleasure, Mrs. Helga. Mr. Strong, I am Rika Tsuchiya, and these are my friends. Thank you for inviting us."
With the annoying pleasantries out of the away Rika excuses herself from the conversation. She finds a moment to adjust her wand so that it rests unseen. Next, she looks for a lull in the crowd and takes a moment to activate her facial tattoo so that she can scout for magical mischief.
She begins searching both the crowd and the rooms available to her for magical threats, but when no one is looking she also makes a quick sweep with her hand scanner. She set it to detect chemical signatures specific to explosive devices, and it should alert her to the presence of any suspect chemicals and compounds.

Sig smiled at Helga, and then eyed the dwarf, Peter Strong. He shook his head, wondering what a good woman like Helga saw in that brute.
But Sig remained pleasant enough. He was a bit awkward, but he found the social lubricant table to help make up for that.
Unfortunately Sig must have gotten some of that good dwarven whiskey, because he is more than a little buzzed when he shows up at the conference room, happily singing show tones off-key.

Mixin' and Minglin' _
Doc nods to Helga and drops a short word of acknowledgement her direction.As Helga returns to mingling Doc grabs a flute of champagne and takes a swig. Swishing it around in his mouth, he lets the alcohol burn across his tongue as the bubbles dance across his pallet. Not Bad. Certainly a local made but not bad.
Just as a waitress passes by, he puts the unfinished glass on her tray and begins surveying the crowd.
In glancing around the room, his eyes settle on a very tall human male. This individual stands well over top of his charge and judging from the fit and cut of his suit is well built. The man nods to Doc when he sees him looking his direction and makes a subtle hand gesture to motion him over.
Doc not being presently occupied by anyone else casually walks around the room to the man and the woman he is guarding, who is in conversation with several other well dressed evening goers. The lady does not even look up as she is deeply engrossed with the conversation of the circle.
The tall well built man nods to Doc as he approaches and sticks out a large hand, "The name is Tony, Two Ton Tony."
Taking Tony's hand the grip is firm and before he can introduce himself, Tony says, "You are Doc, right? Doc Olliday?"
Doc decides to remain quiet and just nods in response.
"Triple B sends his regards and thanks."
With a stunned look, Doc nods, "He survived the burn out then?"
This time Tony nods and moves Doc around away from the guests mingling and asks, "Does the regulator look correct?" Untieing his tie and unbuttoning his shirt three or four buttons, Doc is able to see a replica of the Neuro Burn Regulator he had built for Triple B. Burning Bright Bobby.
A screwdriver appears in Doc's right hand and he deftly begins the inspection. A few minutes later, he taps Triple T on the chest. "Button up. Everything is in order. Who made the NBR for you?"
Before Tony can answer, his charge requests that Tony fetch something for her from the wait staff. Tony nods to his charge and then to Doc and moves defetly through the crowd.
Doc stands ooff to the side and watches the movements within the crowd as he waits for the meeting with Helga in a few minutes.

Re: The Red Harbor Country Club
The room for the meeting is officially titled "The Study". When you walk in there are a dozen finely made chairs spread about, the smell of old leather and whiskey linger in the room. After a bit longer of a wait than you expected, Helga shows up, looking as if she stepped straight out of the screen of a holo film. Her black velvet dress is just the perfect mix of style and simplicity, a glass of dark red wine resting in her hand. She nods politely and has a seat. "Thank you for coming so promptly."[/b} She raises an eyebrow at Sig, who appears to be swaying a bit more than he should. "As you've undoubtedly heard, there was an attack on a prominent member of Whykins city council. We don't know who did it, but it certainly wasn't anyone employed in an official capacity by Kingsdale. In fact, I'm curious as to whether or not it has a relation to that video chip I gave you at our first meeting." She frowns, as she sees the blank looks on all your faces. "You... didn't watch the video?" If she's upset by this news, her face does a great job of hiding it.
Something doesn't sit right with Danny. He can't quite explain it, but something is off. WHen a particular van goes in the gates, goosebumps prickle up and down his spine.
Hela nods, to herself. "Very well then. Please watch the video as soon as you can. And then I would like to implore you to discretely investig...
In spite of the heavy wood doors, you can easily hear the screams. Some of them are cut off abruptly as the building shakes from explosive blasts.
Sure enough Danny's bad feeling is confirmed as he sees the valet who walks over to the van slump back, a mist of blood spraying from the back of his head. The van door slides open and at least a dozen of what appear to be Skelebots pour out, opening fire on any sentient being that has the bad fortune of being near them. One sprays a volley of grenades through the open door, the blasts flashing. Danny finds the way they move to be odd, as they aren't moving with the monotonous motions of machinery, but in fact move like a regular person would, as far as they can with the limitations of machinery.

Danny's voice hits the comms, " Out front, near the vallet a dozen skelebots, one with grenades. Targets are indiscriminate. Definitely not the kind of skelebot I fought in the war. They move like they are being directly interfaced by a person. Get people back into the country club, maybe there is a way out in the back. Check for some kind of signal being generated and stop it. Breathe easy and don't panic you know what to do." His last few words could have been more for himself than the others on the team.
Danny himself instead of firing at a skelebot looks through his scope eyeing the van. Given who we are up against: The Grease Man, their must be something more to this van... Maybe some kind of transmitter letting his cronies control these bots.

"Sig! Whatever you have under that suit, pull it out now, and cover the door," Rika tells the giant grackle.
She looks over to doc and nods towards Sig while saying, "Do you have something to clear his head? It'd be best if we didn't have a gigantic, drunk grackle in closed quarters during a raid."
"Everyone else, back up Sig or cover the VIPs," Rika addresses the team before looking at Helga and saying, "We'll get you and your husband out. If there are other critical VIPs that need to be secured, it may be an option but we need to know now."

Sig gave Helga an admiring look. For a non-grackle, she looked amazing in that dress. Maybe he’d had a bit too much to drink.
“Not sure we had the time to watch the video,” he said apologetically, “what with the running around to get ready for this party.”
And then he heard the gunfire and explosions. “Son of a--!” he cursed, reaching for the ion pistol and vibro-knife he was carrying and pulling up his cummerbund to reach his Titan Belt, moving to aim at the door to the the study. He took the can of energy drink from Doc and tossed it back.

Danny carefully looks for a transmitor, but alas can not find one. He does however notice that the driver (the person that shot the valet) is still in the drivers seat.
Helga grabs her wrist and when she takes her hand away it is filled with a sword that appears to be made of pure magical energy. She kicks off her heels and runs out of the room, violently throwing the door open, heading toward the ballroom.
The chatter of railgun fire is a great deal louder now that the door is open.

Earth Elementals
Ulithrax moves to survey the carnage in the ballroom, with Arvalis close behind. Upon reaching the end of the hallway, the lizard mage mutters an incantation in an ancient language, waves the wand in his hand, and rips open a miniature rift. From the portal emerges four creatures similar in appearance to Gorignak. Ulithrax shouts the order. "Crush the metal men into scrap!" The behemoths respond immediately, lumbering forward towards the nearest skelebots. The Coalition automatons take reflexive swipes with the mounted vibroswords as the earth elementals close. The first elemental is knocked off balance, unable to recover well enough to strike. Two more blades impact, but the hardened stone bodies do little more than lose stone chips to the blades. The last skelebot, however, finds the right location, driving the vibrosword all the way through the elemental. The rock man falls apart, stones, earth, and pebbles scattering across the floor in front of the bot.One of the elementals, though a ponderous swing, manages to connect with the skelebot in front of it, denting the frame and forcing it to recalibrate its actions.
Arvalis pushes past the lizard mage, jumping out from the corner. He draws a bead on one of the bots, squeezes the trigger, and blasts a hole clean through a few vital components. The skelebot falls to the ground, lifeless. He ducks back behind the wall, hoping to avoid counterattack. He calls back behind him. "We got about a dozen CS skelebots out here plugging civvies! The hell is going on?!"

The group charges into the fray. Arvalis shoots a skelebot directly in the head, causing it to topple to the ground. Sig and Tim each destroy one, a puff of smoke coming out of each of their metallic skulls before they even stop. A bolt of blue magical energy flies from Tim's fingertips, stunning one of the bots, another is hit by one of the Earth Elementals, but seems to be intact. The group notices that as they approach the metallic skeleton men they slash as them with a spring-loaded vibroblade. Something to keep in mind no doubt. Out of the corner of your eye, you see that Helga has ran over to her husband, who is holding an axe made entirely of magical energy, a faint blue glow in the shape of armor surrounds his person. He no longer seems drunk and is mostly helping people move out of the way as he jostles his way toward the Skelebots.Of the eight remaining skelebots, half fire their grenade launchers into the crowd. They fire so recklessly that they even take out a couple of their own. Those with any experience with skelebots are very surprised at this, as they are supposedly programmed to be aware of each other and to avoid friendly fire. Surely you're mistaken, but you swear you hear them laughing with glee as they do so. The rest unload with their railguns, spraying the crowd, a few rounds hitting but not penetrating David Strong's unearthly armor.
Through his high powered scope, Danny sees the van that dropped off the Skelebots suddenly accelerate, doing a sharp turn as it speeds towards the exit.

He pulls up short out of reach of the skelebots' vibroblades, and then pistons the drill's extensible shaft--thrusting forward three times, rapidly, at the two bots in the enemy front ranks. While one of the bots only takes a glancing blow to the head, knocking it off-balance, the other takes a direct shot to the chest, opening it up like a pinata.Meanwhile, Steed follows up behind the Skelebot horde, attempting another hoof-smash against the rear flank. Sadly, the blow, even if not countered by the fast-striking vibroblade, ends up striking ineffectually against the robot's metallic skull.

Arvalis shoots, he...does no damage
Arvalis ducks back out into the field of fire, the grenades not a deterrent to him. He picks the furthest skelebot he can see, one not engaged with Lance, and squeezes off a shot. The laser blast does little more than leave a minor scorch mark on the bot's frame. "Shit! Where's a rifle when you need it?!" He ducks back behind the wall, hoping more grenades don't find a closer mark. "Boss! Be careful!"Ulithrax

The skelebot closest to steed steps towards the great mount, slashing at it with it's vibro blade. The brave mount nimbly dodges it, the blade passing within inches of the creature.Another Skelebot unloads it's mini gun on the Earth Elemental in I20, striking it twice.
A third lobs a grenade into L15, doing 17 damage to a LBT.
Yet another fires a grenade directly at Helga exploding right in her face but somehow the majority of the blast is repelled by a magical suit of armor that hugs closely to her form.
The rest of the bots spray rail gun fire into the crowd, downing innocent's left and right.
Danny's shot is true and slices right through the electrical battery of the van like a hot knife through butter. The van lurches to a halt, black smoke pouring out of the hood as sparks flicker.

Doc checks off auto fire and greandes as his back is against the wall. Catching @Sig's eyes he nods to give him the go ahead to unload "GrackleThunder" on the skelebots. While does all the munitions counts outload, he is counting wounded and fatalities silently in his head. He may need to break cover and see who he can help.

Sig grunted as he was peppered by a grenade, some shrapnel actually managing to stick in his thick hide. He shook it off and moved forward toward the skelebots, putting himself between them and Helga.

“Go ahead,” Sig told Doc. “Try an’ stay behind me if ya can, brah. An’ thanks,” Sig told Ulithrax as he felt the magic quicken his movements.

Once behind Sig he shakes the snowglobe and lets the orb levitate from his other hand.

Seeing an opening in the enemy lines, Lance howls in the anticipation of victory, and charges forward, his drill-bit lunging out whenever he can't reach a Skelebot right away, using the piston maneuver whenever it makes sense; underneath the drill's withering battering, the 'Bots fall like chaffe, their armor shredded by the drill, their frames battered by the hammering power of the lance's shaft.Lance

Shooting 8, with bonuses 15, 13 with called shot
You’re not getting away grub.Danny rings out another shot from the gracklepack while aiming for the driver. Not to hit the poor misguided sap, but instead hitting a nearby metallic circular garbage can. Why the can? Good question and I am sure the escaping driver thought himself lucky until the can flipped end over end, tossing its refuse everywhere, eventually encapsulating the driver in its dirty hole.
Danny flexed briefly reminded of younger days and hit the comms, ” Driver captured, a few hundred feet from the gate inside a garbage can. Send the mud man in... I’ll keep my perch and watch over you. Danny out.”

Re: The Red Harbor Country Club
As Sig asks if everyone is alright, he immediately discovers that no, they are not. The acrid stench of gunpowder hangs in the air, as the party surveys the damage. Blood and gore are everywhere, as scores of people are dead. The party's attention seems to converge at the same time as they see one of their own amongst the casualties, Johnny Jones lies still on the ground. Doc walls over and gingerly takes his vitals, shaking his head as he does so. Johnny is dead, killed by the pressure wave of one of the grenades, eerily still as if he is asleep.
Outside Gorginak eventually makes his way to the garbage can. His massive muddy mitt yanks the garbage can upright, and seizes its contents. It pulls the man out and brings it inside, to his master. Tim Gates gets a bad feeling as if he was in an elevator that suddenly drops. It's the man from the Panther Modern, the one Johnny said was responsible for the hack.
Helena is in control and barks a few commands to those who are capable of taking them. A perimeter is secured and she stands there, flaming sword in hand, anger causing the vein in her neck to throb with her pulse.

Doc stands up from behind Sig as the smoke clears and Helena begins barking orders.
Walking back to the party tables, he begins yanking table cloths from the tables in a sight that would have impressed any magician or slight of hand artist. Handing the sheets to Sig, he pointed to several guests who would be bypassed in triage as they were dead, including Johnny Jones.
From there he begins assessing the wounded and then instructs the abled to look after the wounded.
As he passes Helena, she stops him by grabbing his arm, Doc shakes his head. There were alot of casualties. Doc continues to attend and treat as best as he could, realizing that his supplies were limited and time was against him.

When they realize Johnny is among the dead, Lance tips his head back and howls in rage. When the fit passes, he looks down at the dead comrade, nodding. "We shall find those who were responsible for this outrage, and we shall make them pay a thousandfold. This I so vow, my friend."
Then he looks about, almost a bit lost, for a moment as he tries to process the larger scene--with no threat to fight, and none of his other skills seeming useful, he and Steed both act as beasts of burden, hauling debris and rubble away where necessary, or carrying those fit to be moved, who cannot yet move under their own power, to wherever Doc directs him....
That is, until Gorgniak brings in the driver. Baring his teeth in a vicious snarl, he starts towards the man, drill blade spinning in a high-pitched whine. The man avoids being disemboweled right at that moment only because of the intervention of his own team, or perhaps Helga.

Its never over, it was just beggining...
Danny survey’s the field of battle through his view finder. His heart was pounding and brow clamy. The War had taken his toll on the grackletooth in more than one way. Visions of people he had killed CS and Tolkeen’s wizards gone rouge still haunted him whenever he brought out the gracklepack. Maybe that’s why towards the end he signed up for the photo shoot. Prancing around flexing those biceps wearing nothing but a papaya hammock certainly beat killing and stealing people’s lives. Get a hold of yourself Danny... The 8 foot three and 534 pound specimen’s thoughts trail off as he catches sight of Doc in his view finder bringing him up close and personal with something that he had not seen since the war, and when he did see it, only bad things happened... A mutant D’Norr just like the ones that took control of my mind and made me kill... I didn’t want to kill that bus full of chil—-
Danny grabs his chest for just a moment but the panic subsides and he breathes out a sigh of relief. Doc might be one of them mutant D’Norrs but he was sure as shit not responsible for turning Danny into a mind slave that fucked people over during what was called the sorcerers revenge.
The moment passes and Danny settles down to looking for more trouble thinking the next shoe was just about to drop.
Over the comms he grunts, ”Val... Mudman is bringing in the person who was ferried in all those skelebots... Be nice to him and give him some tea and crumpets hopefully that will put him in the talking mood.”
Cuts me hard not to be able to help all those poor folks. But best I can do is make sure nothing else happens unexpectedly. Maybe call emergency services.
Danny opens his comms up to the emergency service frequency, ” This is Danny. I am at the Redharbor Country Club. There has been a bombing. Civiliians down. I repeat civilians down.”
Danny gets a response immidiately. A calm cool and collected voice with a slight purr, ” Meow... Daniel T. Striker as I live and breathe. Emergency responders on their way. But you owe me another shoot eh? Or perhaps somethig even more tawdry.”
Frack me. Michael Dupree the only cat I know whose fur is more slick than a grackle’s scale. Danny shakes his head trying to keep focused. He grunts, ” Thanks Mike. Just get them here fast and save some lives. Doc Olliday is on the scene, have them coordinate with him...”
The cat purrs again over the comm, ” Meow Daniel. And the something Tawdry?”
Danny’s eyes grow small as he thinks a half a sec. Last time he saw Michael Dupree was at the after party celebrating the photo shoot to end the war. The lonestar creation had put Danny up to acting as his assistant during his clown act during the party. I fracking hate clowns...

Was this a random attack simply to ignite tensions, or was there a specific target hidden amongst the shroud of devastation?" He muses to himself until Gorignak digs a new friend out of the garbage can. He beckons Gorignak forward with his catch. His linguistic enchantment still active, he speaks to the garbage dweller with a wave of the Wand of Domination. "I wish to know something. Everything, in fact, regarding this night. You will tell me." As he probes the mind of the hacker, his eyes narrow as he observes the magical energies in the area, and specifically, what may be active on the man in front of him.Arvalis gets his own look at the death toll.

Re: The Red Harbor Country Club
Doc's quick thinking and medical knowledge saves half a dozen lives easily. Unfortunately the chaotic scene reveals to our heroes that scores are dead, easily 40, maybe as many as 70. Gorginak brings in the disheveled driver and just as Lance is about to turn him into a shish kabab, Sig intervenes. Ulitrhax seizes control of the man's conscious mind, but discovers there is another rider already there, that he has pushed out. interesting... the lizard mage thinks. He opens his senses to the arcane and discovers...nothing, not a thing about the man indicates there is any inordinate amount of magical energy to him, less than average in fact as up close he appears to have several cybernetic implants disrupting the flow of his chi. Doc comes over to him and notes that one of the implants, a Subject Matter Skill Port, is so new that it hasn't even healed yet. As gorginak holds the man in his iron grip Doc examines the implant more closely and roughly pops the chip it. He is a bit taken aback. He has never seen such technology before, it's easily years beyond current levels of technology, some sort of Supertech. Helga continues to bark out orders, giving the group some time to do their own investigation to piece together what exactly happened.

Lance stands down when ordered to do so, snarling briefly, until someone explains that the man was under control of another. He immediately switches mood, going over and sniffing at the driver, and then going out to the van, attempting to catch the scent of whoever got close enough to bind the man's will. After all, given the length that such powers last, the controller most likely rode in the van until they got close enough he could be confident it would last through the battle. He also compares mentally any scents he catches with those they've encountered during previously.Lance

Doc is holding the chip he just de-slotted from a mind controlled hacker.
With the details from the cyber cafe hacker, specifically where the skill port was installed and wired and his other features, Doc recreates a 3D virtual image of the hacker. Once assured that the image is accurate, Doc takes the chip from the viewer where he has scanned its metrics and analytics. Carefully, Doc takes the chip and slots it into the 3D holographic model.
Harvey 3 begins chunking data packets and scans into compartments and folders. A few minutes perusing the data and Doc looks up.
"I thought this might be one of those simware chips, known as BTLs - Better Than Life. The BTLs create a virtual world for the user that they never leave and their bodies die from malnourishment, dehydration, and overall body atrophy."
"This is not one of those."
Doc studies the information further and Harvey 3 begins running a im program as if the holovid hacker were an actually functioning human. The chip very indesceetly begins to hum at a very very low harmonics level. "Amazing. Sub Cortex Hypnosis."
The simulation continues running, and Doc notes a radio wave spike or transmit, "Damn this chipware has some range. Hard to triangulate how far its reach is or how far it could be reached from."
"This is a freaking parasitic piggy back chip."
Doc punches in a few keys on Harvey 3 and sim shuts down, the chip falls onto the blank dark face of the Holovid and Doc disconnects the holovid from Harvey 3 and stows everything away except the chip.
Doc stands up and heads over to Helga. Waiting until she ackowledges him, "What do you want done with this?" Doc holds the chip in the palm of his hand out toward hHelga.

He doesn’t go alone of course. His grackle pack is carefully held in his tail just in case he needs to put a hole inside something squishy.

The aftermath is mostly a chaotic scene. People rushing to and fro, blood and body parts everywhere. Helga is busy to the point of distraction, she asks Doc to hold onto the chip for now and to study it as best he can as the city's resources are strained to the breaking point currently. She will call him when she is ready to have someone pick the chip up, but as time is of the essence she's fine with breaching the chain of evidence.
Her husband, David Strong whisks the group away to a room as soon as he can do so. He heaps praise on them all for protecting his patrons and ending the mechanized threat. He seems to be entirely sober now, in spite of the fact that he slides each of you an envelope with a secured cred stick in the amount of 100,000 each. Any attempt to turn it down is met with a polite yet firm refusal on David's part.
Danny absolutely terrifies the young kid at the guards tower, with his Rifle swinging to and fro. The man informs him that they had a work order, which he does not have, and Danny gets the idea that he is telling the truth, and he may have wet his pants.
The police take custody of the hacker that Gorginak caught, but Helga makes sure the party has time to interrogate him briefly before he is taken away. Whatever means the group uses on him fails to provide any evidence than he is anything more than an unwilling participant forced into this via the chip that Doc has.
Speaking of the chip, something about it bothers Doc. He felt like he missed something and that feeling bothers him so much that he pulls the chip out again to reexamine it. There it is. In tiny engraving on the bottom of the chip are the worlds "Help Me".

The police take custody of the hacker that Gorginak caught, but Helga makes sure the party has time to interrogate him briefly before he is taken away. Whatever means the group uses on him fails to provide any evidence than he is anything more than an unwilling participant forced into this via the chip that Doc has.
Speaking of the chip, something about it bothers Doc. He felt like he missed something and that feeling bothers him so much that he pulls the chip out again to reexamine it. There it is. In tiny engraving on the bottom of the chip are the worlds "Help Me".

Lance takes the 100K Credit chip happily and with grateful thanks; he then promptly goes out and buys a brand new polymer shield and Crusader Armor from the local C&S outlet (while getting some cosmetic repairs to his Tabard). Doing some light sparring, the others find that he is remarkably adept at knocking an incoming attack aside with the shield and using that to create an opening to tag someone with the drill bit (during sparring matches, he wraps the tip and coats it in chalk-dust to be able to mark 'hits' without causing injury).

Doc absent-mindedly accepts the envelope. Without looking into it he slides the envelope into a pocket on his duster. His mind is drawn to the previous engagement. "Someone mentioned barriers and barricades."
Searching through his computer's data base he finds the reference and even some notes on construction. "Great. something to tinker with. A bit of craft glue, nah.
In the middle of the thought of constructing his next Gizmo, Doc decides to look at the chip from the hacker. Pulling it out of a secure container in his duster, as Helga told him to keep it, he begins another inspection.
Taking a picture of the engraving. He pulls out his tablet and proceeds to have thehacker right out a series of sentences and paragraphs where he can get a full analysis of the Hacker's handwriting. Doc decides to check a couple of audio-visual deatails.
Doc asks him straight out, "How can I help you?"

Re: The Red Harbor Country Club
In spite of his efforts, Doc is unable to get anything out of the hacker. He legitimately seems to have no recollection of what happened. The hand writing is hard to determine as the words "Help Me" are very small and in block printing. As Doc examines the mans cybernetics a bit more, he realizes that they were modified by a man named Gammon, a Cyber-Doc that does brilliant work, but mostly does cybernetics to pay for his true passion, giving elaborate tattoos.
Danny hops in the van and after looking around for a minute or so, finds a piece of paper in the glove box. It's a work order, to fix the air conditioning in the country club. A quick investigation will show that the address and business name are both fakes. The paper looks legit enough to fool a security guard, but obviously doesn't hold up to even the most casual investigation.
The group checks in with Helga before leaving, and she asks that they give her a video call tomorrow morning. Again she stresses that they watch the video, and Doc checks through Johnny Jone's pockets and finds the video chip.
Back at the warehouse everyone does whatever it is they do to de stress. After which, Doc calls the group together so that they can all view the video at once.

After watching the video, Lance goes out and mingles with the local dogboy community again. This time, he steers the conversations around to find Dogboys with friends still on the CS side of thing, seeing if he can find anyone who knows about the fate of Sgt. John Less, in particular about the prisoners he was transporting on his last mission. Of course, this entails a lot of late-night discussion, meaning the canine knight only comes back in the wee hours of the morning, promptly going to sleep after writing down what he'd learned for the others to continue their own investigations.Lance

Sig sat down with the others to watch the video, munching on a bowl of strawberries in his tropical shirt and shorts.
“Well ain’t that interesting, brahs,” the grackletooth murmured. “Definitely looks like it might be Fed work,” he mused. “Lotsa magic.” That wasn’t something Sig knew a lot about. Grackletooths weren’t magically gifted.
Since Lance had the Coalition angle covered with his dog boy friends, Sig decided to try and track down this Gammon, the cyber-dock tattoo artist who did the work on the brainwashed hacker’s cyber, another thing Sig knew little of because grackletooths couldn’t handle cybernetics.

Doc copies some of the video still frames. He studies the reflection that shows in some of the stills. Looking closely he gets a visual of the face of the Sgt. Magnifying and moving the picture, Doc is able to narrow in on asegment of the cornea, where the actual lens of the recording camera is. There he is able to identify the serial number of the implanted cyber eye/camera. And he curses.Enhance 224 to 176. Enhance, stop. Move in, stop. Pull out, track right, stop. Center in, pull back. Stop. Track 45 right. Stop. Center and stop. Enhance 34 to 36. Pan right and pull back. Stop. Enhance 34 to 46. Pull back. Wait a minute, go right, stop. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Give me a hard copy right there.

Running the numbers against a serial database by manufacturer, Doc finds the camera in question. Doc looks at the name of the tech who purchased it.

Doc is glad for the time to reconnect with Gannon. With his consierge business, he does not always have time to check back in with good people like Gannon. Since installing Cyber on oneself is nearly impossible, Gannon is Doc's connection when it comes to to tinkering, fixing, and upgrading his current effects. He even has one of Gannon's tats on his rib cage on the right side. Pratical joke between Gannon and Doc, as that is what Gannon referes to Doc's consierge business.Stoic wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 12:13 pm Doc and Sig make their way over to the chop shop where Doc is greetly warmly as an old friend.

He thinks for a bit on it and then a frown spreads across his face. He tells you there used to be a cybershop in town where a very gifted Trimadore alien named Roger was probably capable of such a thing, but according to Gannon, Roger isn't the type to get mixed up with some evil cult. He hasn't been seen for about six months or so, he just up and disappeared one day, probably moving on to greener pastures.
Doc gets an address and a description of Roger, the Trimadore. Gives his pal a good solid hug and asks him to keep him posted if anything strange comes his way. Doc pats @Sig on the shoulder and nods to the front of the Tat parlor, hinting that it is time to go.

Re: The Red Harbor Country Club
Lance commiserates with Dougy for a bit about the horror of it all, and mentions that if Dougy's contacts could tell him more about the prisoners who were on that transport, Lance would be happy to make it worth his while. "Mayhap, an opportunity for justice may arriveth, even at this late date." He gives a brief, meaningful whirr of the drill-bit when he says this. With that, he gives his contact info to Dougy and heads home to share what he's learned so far with the others.

It’s a long night for Danny. After watching the video he his the books on arcana in the local kingsdale library. Sadly the seats, keyboards, books, and entrance into the stacks were not made for him. Fortunately the librarian a misty eyed thirty something teenie bopper wannabe was clued into the Twadry and Team photo shoot and gave Danny an exclusive Grackle friendly tour. Of course all she could ask about was the human often in the photos, Smith something or other but it did not mind Danny too much. He had Smith’s last known mailing address and invited her to send him any kind of fan mail she would like.
” Like I was saying, just forward anything to that address via special courier and he’ll be super excited to get it. So these are the arcane books eh? Seems to be quite a collection let me take a look for a bit eh?”
The Librarian pulled out the big chair for Danny and he went to reading answering the occasional question about the photo shoot, ” Oh Smith? Yeah he was a beautiful man. Something really sparkles when he ripped off his shirt. Oh would he like shirts? Sure don’t see why not. Send him a bunch.”

The next day the group meets with Helga as planned. Even though she appears to have been up all night (wearing the same clothes) not a hair is out of place, and she looks envigorated. "Thank you for coming. Have you made any progress?" After listening to the groups report, she nods, thoughtfully. She pulls out a piece of paper with an address scrawled on it. "I made an appointment for you at the Monolith. It's in 2 hours, but, you should leave now." She thanks you again, then politely makes it clear that she has other spinning plates to attend to.You find it curious that she would suggest you allot 2 hours, as the place is within the city itself. Still you leave just to humor her. Sure enough, it takes you forever to find the place. You keep making wrong turns, driving in the wrong direction...it must have been from all your late night activities. Almost exactly at the time of the meeting, you see it. Right by the Merchant's square, it's a bit 40 ft tall building, that appears to be carved out of a single piece of smooth black glass. You park and make your way to what appears to be the entrance. Standing in front of it is a tall stone statue. Danny recognizes it as the god Anubis. As you go to knock, you hear the scraping sound of stone as the statue turns. "Greetings. You may enter."
The door slides open and you walk in to find yourself in a blazing hot desert. You look behind you, but the door has already vanished. In the distance on a sand dune you see a woman, sitting in the lotus position. She is wearing a simple gray robe and has her eyes closed in deep contemplation. You head her way and as soon as you get by her, her eyes open. They look half asleep, but she has a warm smile. She does not stand up, but does politely gesture for each of you to sit.
"My name is Lyanna. I am told that you are to assist Ms. Helga in the matter that plagues the city.... her voice is soft, and quiet but you still manage to hear every word. You then realize that she never once opened her lips.
"You must go West...the town of Largo..." She frowns, furrowing her brow. "I can not see it...but this is a place of great danger. Your answers are there."[/b} she smiles again and vanishes, in a puff of sand. You look back and the door is there again, suspended in mid-air.

After Lance gets back from the late night with Dougy, he falls into a deep sleep, and dreams of a great jousting tournament, with knights from all the lands coming to compete--many of them quite strange in manner and appearance. Lance and his lance win bout after bout, and after each, the losing knight graces him with a token. Taking the token lets Lance speak in the native language of the giver! By the end of the tourney, he has half a dozen such tokens pinned to his sash. When he awakens, he remembers all of the languages he has learned....He smiles as he opens the letter, and informs all the others about this Crimson Moon cult. "Clearly, that is the source of this madness."
Lance will compare the scents of whatever items are brought to him to examine, both to lock in Roger's scent, and to make sure that the blood belonged to the man.

Doc collcts the various blood samples, realizing that between himself and Lance they can quite possibly identify most of the untoward and unseemly events that might have occured to Roger. He hands some gloves and a couple of evidence bags and has Sig collect things like tools and writing utensils. He also lifts fingerprints from several dozen surfaces. This takes a good portion of the early morning.MacGyvering a couple of UltraViolet Lights, he has Sig and Danny scan for any more blood drops in a 20 foot direction as well as vehicle treads and foot prints.
Once the evidence is gathered, Doc closes the storage unit, making sure that his photo documenting did not miss anything. Closing the door, Doc locks the storage unit with a lock of his own design.
They rouse the manager once more before leaving. Doc looks closely at the manager's clothing, this time finding a name badge "Lucas". "Lucas. Sorry for waking you up a few hours ago. Mr Roger asked us to check on his personal property and makes sure that security was doing its very best to protect his interests here."
"Before we go, would you please verify the contact number you have for Mr. Roger."
After getting that information from Lucas, Doc tells Lucas one more piece of information. "As part of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood security interests, he has changed his number to," Doc gives a number that will dial the HQs mainframe and then route that call to his personal cellular device. "Please make sure you report anyone who may come asking after Mr. Roger or his interests."
He leaves @Sig to call a taxi and hands @Danny his cell. "We should be getting a call shortly. Talk normally and just ask after people inquiring after Roger or asking about the storage unit. Thank him and encourage him to call should anything to change."

Roger proved to be much of a dead end, so Sig and Doc headed back to the warehouse base. It was late, and they had an early meeting with Helga tomorrow.
Sig wasn’t sure how Helga was still immaculate, given she was in the same dress as last night. He was still chugging down gallons of coffee to wake up. If he didn’t stop soon, his hands would shake too much to aim.
“What’s the Monolith?” Sig asked as they geared up to go.
Sig drove around town, cursing every time he seemed to take a wrong turn. “Where is this bloody place?” Finally, when it looked like they would be late, Sig turned a corner and there it was, just where they had been told it would be. “Prosek’s ball sack,” the grackle murmured.
They got out and entered the place, only to find a cryptic woman named Lyanna in the middle of a desert. “Ugh. Magic,” Sig muttered. “Where is this Largo, and why is it so dangerous?” he asked as they left the desert again.

The group gears up and heads West to the town of Largo. The land that way is quite flat, with green fields and slight hills that seem to go on forever. After a couple of hours, they see a large sign with the word "Largo" which is crudely crossed out, and the word "Serenity" is written underneath it. The town seems to be a small sprinkling of buildings, the largest being a two story structure, painted red with the words "Gumbo's General Store" in neat white block lettering. Outside of the town are a couple dozen fields set up for farming, each with a nice little farmhouse on it. As you get into town, a large sweaty man shoved into a immaculate white suit topped off with a white panama hat with a black band comes out of the general store to greet you.
He tips his hat and speaks in a heavy southern drawl as beads of sweat pop out on his forehead. "Well, hullo they ah, I'm Lenny Gumbo, the Mayor here in Serenity, pleased ta meet ya." he pulls a dingy yellow handerchief out of his pants pocket, it has a tiny red moon monogram.
"Now uh, what happens ta bring you good folk here to Serenity? Anything I can hep ya with?" His brow furrows, catching a few beads of sweat in the crease. "Pardon my manners, might I offer you a drink? Jenny...
