| >A tall woman with black hair reaching down to her ankles and a long black trench coat with a suit underneath enters the building, her eyes glowing a soft greenish glow as she scans her surroundings
| >>171714
Upon enty the woman is greeted by this sight ( https://www.google.com/search?q=anime+black+hair+french+maid&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&espv=1&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNsqTEv9LZAhXIipQKHWDhAcoQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=UHFzqha3yib-SM: )
>the maid bows.
Hello and welcome to starlyte bites.would you like a table?
| >The tall woman looks at the maid, an intimidating look on her face
"Sure, I'm waiting for a few people though, they might show up later"
>Her voice is gruff, but somehow very soothing
| >The woman cocks an eyebrow in surprise
"Yeah, me and a few people I know will investigate it"
>She extands her hand towards the maid
"The name's OS, nice to meet you"
| >>171735
Ah i apologize for the alarm,my name is luciel nice to meet you.cyrus told me to expect you guys.
>she then gestures to follow.
| >The tall woman obliges, following Luciel along
"This Cyrus guy is your boss?"
>She asks in passing
| >>171746
Yes i suppose you know him as neverwere.
>she arives at a large table at the corner of the cafe.
This table has a special white noise chip under it only the people siting here will hear your talk.
>she than gives OS a menue
Its on the house,i reccomend the cinnamon french toast.
| >OS puts a hand before the menu, refusing it
"I'll just take a black Coffee, I ate already"
>She smiles
"But thanks for the offer"
| Of course.
>she bows before leaving.
>after a bit she comes back with a black coffee.
Here you go.
>she places it on the table then returns To the entrance.
| >cyrus then walks inside.
Hey luciel,everything ok?
Yes.
>she responds
One of the people are here.
>then points to the table.
>Cyrus walks over and takes a seat.
Hello~
( i listed him on the last 4 post here https://boards.dangeru.us/cyb/thread/165946 just incase)
| >OS takes a look at Cyrus, before sipping on her coffee
"Mighty nice place you got yourself there, maid and all"
>She flashes a sly grin
"The name's OS, Augmented detective and Ex-GCPD agent"
| >>171761
Nice to metcha.
My name is cyrus lechance part time cafe owner part time wanderer.
It was a pain to renovate the place after the thing with the UK.
I was probably the only one effected by it.
>he says the last part with a hint of annoyance.
| >A short girl approaches the entrance. Her hair reached down to the middle of her back, her bangs covering her eyes. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt with a picture of a kitten on it coupled with jeans and a pair of boots.
"Helloooo? Is this the right place?"
| Oh wow, a maid! And, uh, I read the post online about the cryptic AI. Are you N3?
| >A tall pale woman strolls into the cafe, where she instantly notices the maid
"~QT spotted...~"
| >She takes the menu and looks over it before looking over at the table and heads over there
| >cyrus just looks at them then luciel.
>luciel nods
>he then jesters for the loli to join.
| >The girl takes a seat at their table and sets down her menu.
So, this is all we have so far?
| >N3 (srry magic ip strikes again)
| Just coffee is fine~
Oh, I haven't introduced myself. You can call me Aduial~ My nicknames include Nightingale and Evening, it's good to meet you in person~
| >>171836
>OS turns to her, her glowing eyes going up and down, seemingly analyzing her, before taking a sip of coffee.
"The name's OS, I'm what people may call a detective, nice to meet you"
| > Another woman — this time, it's an azure-haired woman, clad in full business suit — she enters the cafe and was immediately greeted by a black-haired maid.
"Ah—.. I'm here to meet someone.. or some people. Depending on who is inside."
> She scans the inside of the cafe, there has been several people inside.
| >>171852
> She walks over to Cyrus' direction, or so, towards the crowded seat.
"H-hello, everyone."
> She greets whoever was near her and was in the crowded seat.
| >>171839 >>171843
>She takes a sip of her coffee and grins, looking to OS
A detective, eh? You must've seen some action in the past if you have eyes like that~
...Also, there seems to be a major imbalance in gender here...
| >>171861
Hey dont make it weird...
>after evertone gathers at the table cyrus introduces himself.
( i listed him on the last 4 post here https://boards.dangeru.us/cyb/thread/165946 just incase)
| I'm gonna be gone for a little bit, go on without me)
| >>171861
>OS looks on, and her eyes glow a little less intensly
"Well, I wont deny it, but most of the action I saw was during my training, outside of GC."
>She then turns to the Azure haired woman
"And hello to you, we've met before haven't we?"
| >A tall, young man walks through the door, looking around the cafe
| (i assume OS recognizes him and gestures him to join.)
| >>171867
"Have we now?"
> The woman's left eye glow, but only for a short while — perhaps it was to show her identity; which almost feels like her schtick.
"Perhaps we have."
| >>171889
(Yes she does)
>>171891
"If the name Douji rings any bells, than we really have, Uni"
>She smirks
| "Quite strange, I met a fellow whose traits were similar to you, but goes by a different name."
> Uni shrugs at her remark.
"May I have a seat there?"
| >>171913
>OS shrugs
"Having an alias is part of the job isn't it?"
>She looks at Uni, her eyes glowing a deeper shade of green.
"Have a seat, you too CN"
| >>171920
"Hm. That is correct."
> Uni takes herself a seat near the group.
"CN? Where—"
> She looks around the room, finding a tall man, who seems to only arrive, inside.
"—When did he arrive?"
| >after everone takes a seat cyrus speaks up.
Soo down to it,i assume this is everyone *and* we are no strangers to combat?
| >>171924
>OS takes off her coat, laying it down next to her, as if to make a point
"Not much, just got here myself, I was waiting for you and Uni"
| >>171927
"Unfortunately... I assume were not just gonna go shoot the person first chance we get though I hope."
| >>171935
>OS nods
"We should be careful going forward with this, who knows if that AI is even trustworthy?"
| >>171935
True,gimme a second.
>cyrus walks to a backroom then comes back to the table with a chest.
>he puts it on the table then opens it revealing vials containing different colored fluids.
Here you should all take some just in case.
>he then explains what they all do.
(i assume everyone already read Cyrus's profile.)
| >>171937
"I'd say we should consider both sides before we decide on a course of action before we do something we regret. We're not even sure what is in this 'library'."
| >>171943
As i said blue is a flashbang.
But pink and brown depends on the weather and white will stay forever unless broken or hit with black.
| >>171942
> Uni nods sagaciously at the conversation between OS and CN before putting herself in.
"That's quite true, what you both discussed. The board thread did not end with a conclusion to the identity of anyone or anything."
> She then sees the vials put by Cyrus — although she doesn't pick any, due to the concerns of their possible effects.
| >>171946
"Yes that's what worries me, the lack of info. Honestly the last thing I want is finding out we did something we shouldnt have cause we lacked the info about it."
| The only thing we have to work off of is.. What was her name?lora shane who lived in vagabond lane uptown...
| The only thing we have to work off of is.. What was her name?lora shane who lived in vagabond lane uptown...
| >>171955
"Which is why we need to investigate, find out a few clues."
>OS sighs
"Last time I went in blind I ended up with a bag on my head, and in a world of hurt, not willing to live that again, especially not with AIs Involved"
| "So where do we start though, with that Lora lady?"
| >>171966
It said she lived on uptown vagabond lane.
>cyrus then wispers to himself:
Shit man i live in uptown...
| >>171963
"Something tells me I shouldn't ask about that..."
>>171969
"Guess that's the best place. Who should go though?"
| >>171979
"Yeah its better if we just dont talk about it, that was huh..."
>OS coughs
"As for who should go, I never really was good at that whole talking to people thing, so i'd rather sit that one out"
| "Or atleast have some backup"
| >>171979
"Am I imagining this wrongly? I keep thinking that we are bound to break into, or at the very minimum, knock on some possibly dangerous stranger's home."
> Although she didn't answer CN's question, Uni did have her thoughts set on the table.
"So, if any of us are going there, as OS said, please bring backup — not one casualty should happen for an investigation that has yet to start."
| "Well I can run support through cameras and such. It's what I usually do for my team."
| >>171992
"I agree with that, if that girl was some host for the king, she's probably going to be dangerous, or at the very least hostile, so we should go with atleast two of us"
>OS takes a look around the table
"And I'm confident in one thing, my strenght, so I can back up the one who does the talking"
| >>172001
Im going cuz im pretty stealthy and can make a quick escape but i still need someone to come with me.
| >>172014
> Uni sighs, already knowing her role in the team.
"I can be the one talking, should anyone needs such role in the team."
| >>172018
"That would be much appreciated, I'll be right behind you to ensure all goes well"
>OS smiles
| >The small girl finally speaks up, a huge smile on her face.
So from the sounds of it, you guys need to gather intel, right?
| >>172022
"Let me start setting up an IRC so we can communicate out there."
>CN takes out his deck and starts typing
| >>172027
(is she part of the table?i lost track if not she cant hear what the others are saying.see>>171748 )
| >>172031
"Could you incorporate my augs into the comms? It would be better for me"
>OS says to CN
>>172027
"Yeah, thats the plan"
| >>172027
"R-right. I suppose that is what we plan doing."
> Uni was startled by the small girl's response.
| >>172035 >>172036
>The girl twirls her hair and giggles quietly
Ufufufu...Gathering intel is one of my specialties you know~! That's why they promoted me to a captain when I was in the service~
| (>>172033 Sorry for the confusion~ I had a meeting within my department, took a lot longer than I expected...)
| >>172038
(oh sry)
>cyrus hands CN a strange high tech looking collar he had on his neck.
(kinda like dis http://accelworld.wikia.com/wiki/Neuro_Linker soo like an aug but not really)
Can you adapt it to fit this?
| >>172045
>OS shakes her head
"Nope, but I can allow them to interact with precise signals and devices, it just leaves me more vulnerable to hacking while I do it."
>She shrugs
"But I'm not sure someone could ever hack me"
| >>172047
>The girl stands up and does a little show of a salute, her heels clacking together
Aduial "Nightingale" Hithil of 2nd Cyber Intelligence Company, reporting~!
| >>172052
"If it runs with a signal I can connect it."
>>172053
"Hmm... That could work I suppose, give me a few minutes."
| >>172056
>OS raises an eyebrow
"Cyber intelligence? Sounds like a wild ride. But its nice to meet a fellow blue collar, though I guess I resigned from my position so I can't really say that anymore"
| >>172056
"The cyber intelligence company... So I guess you have some hacking experience as well then."
>>172061
>After a few moments CN finishes configuring the device to the comms
"Here's the IP for everyone else as well."
| >>172056
> Uni made a quiet clap on the show.
"Everyone young that I have met seems to hold quite an important position, hm."
> She heard the talk regarding communications and IRC, staying ever so quiet on it.
"Ah, CN, I'll use my Arcana—"
> She pulls out a rectangular object — the size of an average deck, but it doesn't look to be a deck either.
"—This. We'll do it like the Kira Miki event, yes?"
| >>172063
>OS Nods
"Thanks, I'll try it out"
>Her eyes glow a strange orange color now
"/Is this working/"
| >>172062
>She rolls up one of her sleeves, revealing a bland-looking bracelet with a small silver circle on it
I was one of the few companies to be reassigned to test these prototype decks. It was nice that they let me keep this.
>>172063
A little bit of hacking, yes. I was initially in the espionage battalion...
>>172066
>Aduial giggles quietly
Come now, It's not that important~
| >>172073
>OS's mouth doesnt move, and she sighs
"/I feel like a goddamn creep mentalist now, but it could give us the advantage we need, not talking to others out loud always helps/"
| >>172080
/That's why I make these. Honestly this is a quick and dirty comms too. You should see what I use for my team./
| >>172073
> Uni's left eye glows as the Arcana turns itself to an 'on' state. Intangible symbols start to scramble from it.
> She nods after seeing the IP, then, with a single click—
/I'm in. That was much harder than I previously remember./
| >>172086
>OS looks at CN with her glowing orange eyes
"/I already feel like one of the Alpha sisters, so I'd rather not, also, it feels very vunerable to expose my data to comms, especially with two hackers in the group/"
| >>172091
/soo quick recap ill sneak in and open the doors and what not to clear the way for OS and uni while CN provides tech support.right?/
| >>172091
/That reminds me... I need to talk to you about something later./
>>172092
"T-thats doesn't distill a confidence here..."
| >>172096
"/If all goes well, we shouldnt need to open the doors, lets see if we cant get through with normal means and then break in/"
| >>172102
"Probably the best strategy."
>>172108
>CN dismisses her confusion with a small hand wave, signaling it's a conversation for another time
| >OS grabs her coat, and puts it on, before getting a cigarette out of her pocket.
"So I guess we're going there, lets finish this up quickly and get the info we need"
| "So, Aduial and I will be the talking service, and I presume the rest of you provides a form of support, one way or another? Is that the final plan here?"
> Uni scratches her cheeks in confusion, her Arcana still powered on.
| >>172126
"I'll follow you inside and handle it if things get too rough"
>OS taps a small handle hidden in a holster within her coat
| (oh hey aside from CN who else took the vialsn)
| (I think only CN took some)
| "I'll stay here then. I can see everything through cameras easily enough."
| >>172165
>luceil brings CN a plate of the cinnamon french waffles and a iced coffee.
Cyrus told me to.
| >>172165
"If you need to use my eyes just ask, and I'll see to it, who knows if that may be useful"
>OS says, before turning to Uni and Aduial
"Let's go"
| >>172170 >>172176
>Aduial jumps out of her seat and does a little twirl before following OS and Uni
Coooming~!

| (I slept and worked and missed everything ;; -AG)
