(Setting) Lily Pad Office
| >CN walks in and stands to the side, seeminglt electing to stand up for the meeting
"So let's get the show on the road Then, what data is on the stick?"
| >Asher enters shortly after and places the stick on the desk
"You can take my seat for now Elliott. CN, under the desk there is a monitor and PC, can you set that up on the desk for me? there shouldn't be a password on it at the moment. We'll go over the data together."
>He leans against the wall and yawns a bit before pulling out a notepad and pen for himself.
| >>166303
"Sure."
>CN towards the desk and bends down to bring up the equipment. It takes just a minute for him to boot up the PC and plug in the stick
"Already ready whenever."
| (just need our client and other applicant uwu)
| >Pera shows up behind Asher, seemingky out of nowhere.
(Had unexpected day today... Soz)
| (just need os and this thread can get rolling)
| (Sorry for the wait, I got real busy and sleepy, I need to get a better sleep rythm ASAP 20 hours of being awake hurts...)
>OS enters the room, her eyes darting around with curiosity
"Nice office, looks better than mine"
| "good, we're all here then"
>Asher inserts the data stick into the pc, displaying https://dangeru.us/cyb/thread/157273
"Geez, how dark...."
| "Those fucking assholes killed the civs I made sure where safe..."
>Pera looks down, saddened by seeing the vid again.
| "There's definitely a problem going on here. So, what do you want us to do?"
>Asher crosses his arms and leans back against the wall
| "I want to know who runs them, and what else they do or did."
>Pera pouts.
| "Alright. CN, OS, any input on the situation? Feel free to chime in too if you have anything to add, Elliott."
| >>167487
"Hmm... something about this is bothering me."
>CN plays back the conversation in the video and the segments with the injured people
"Assuming this is the logic virus they're talking about... this whole situation makes no sense. There's no way the virus could had been there from what I know about it."
| >>167530
"I know. I feel like someone could be going around an infecting people, seeing the effects, and then cleansing the place. Its only a theory."
>Pera says.
| >OS scratches her chin, and gets closer the screen.
"I never was an expert on things like viruses, but I got a few ideas"
>Her eyes glow a bit, and she shakes her head
"The stream's quality keeps me from properly analyzing it though"
| "Well, my next course of action would typically be to go investigate the scene. However..."
>He sighs
"Now that I've gone official we gotta do things by the books, and that means my least favorite part of the job."
>He walks over to his desk and looks at Pera
"How much are you looking to pay for this job?"
| > Ellioty scoots out of the way, preparing to stand.
| "I was hoping you'd tell me... I guess 30000z for all the info, hazard pay included."
| (Pera)
| "OS, CN, any objections? We're looking at a three way split this time around, after the office fee about 9300Z each."
>Asher looks around the room
| >OS shrugs
"I'm not in it for the pay, anythings good as long as it covers the expenses and all that"
| >>167542
"No that's not what I meant. If that was the case some of the injured would had been affected as well. It does take some time to take affect but given they had time to torch the place... some of the symptoms would had manifested by then..."
>CN stares contempletatively at the screen
>>167573
"Huh? Oh uh... yea whatever's fine."
| "Good, we accept your fee then."
>Asher looks around the room
"CN, can you analyze the data stick and see if you can find anything else from it?"
>He looks at Elliott
"Sorry I didn't have more time to sit and chat, Elliott. I wasn't expecting a case so soon."
| >Pera sighs as she puts down a credit stick.
"Good, because that's all I have."
| >OS looks at AG
"Any scene investigation we could be doing? I'm sure I could find a few clues given the time to research on site"
>Her eyes glow softly as she speaks
| >>167641
"No problem, really. We can always chat another time."
> She finally stands, allowing him the full desk.
"If you don't mind, I've got to check on on IN1's shop for a bit. I can come back, or if your free later..?"
| >Asher smiles
"That's the plan. CN, you can analyze that on the road, right?"
>>167659
"I'll definitely let you know, we can do some real catching up then. Give my regards to IN1 for me, tell him I might be by to have him tune up my Augs. Haven't had 'em looked at since they were installed"
>Asher grabs some keys off a hook by the door
"Anybody need a ride? I'll be taking my cab there."
| >>167666
"Of course. This thing is portable after all."
>He stand up with the deck in hand as he looks at the screen
| "Wait! Did you say IN1?"
>Pare stops him
| "Yeah. You know him?"
>Asher eyes Pera cautiously
| "I don't personally, but big boss, AnoMeat, said to pass on a message to someone called IN1. 'How is the stuttering child'? I don't get it..."
>Pera tilts her head in mild confusion.
| >OS looks at Pera, her eyes narrowing before putting on her trench coat
"I'll take the ride if you offer it, my car is a gas guzzling monstrosity"
| >Pera waves her hands in front of her
"I-I don't know! That's all he said!"
| "*Sigh* That sounds like something Sheperd would say, not AM."
>CN seems to roll his eyes but doesn't look away from his work as he talks
|
| "wll, I'm sure Elliott can pass on the message just fine. No worries about what it is on my end, I trust IN1"
>Asher opens the door
"Let's go"
>He walks out into the cafe
| >OS follows along, hands in her pockets
"Aye, Aye"
| >CN follows out, still looking at the scene in his deck
| > Elliott follows behind happily.
| "I'll be in the cafe."
>Pera goes to sit at the bar.
