Detailed Rumor → Juice
Phoenix was snooping around and found out that Juice had gone and spoken to someone. She tailed the contact for some time, and the contact eventually evades her and she is captured. Her captor interrogates her and she tells him that she’s trying to investigate Juice because of his reputation as a fixer. Her captor thinks about it for a moment, and after talking to her for more details, tells her that Juice has grown to hate “the family” and wants to change things, which means starting his own life and screwing over the other members. Juice is the last son of seven brothers, so he is getting nothing if he doesn’t take things into his own hands. Juice was sold to “the family” by a mysterious person. He spoke only Russian, but “the family” was promised some privileges and protections for taking Juice, so they agreed.
If Phoenix wants more then she’ll have to do a favor for her captor, and he’ll be in contact soon.
Detailed Rumor → Audun Bredall & Mr. Steele
Searching his forums there’s originally a lot of information about the press event and what’s goin on with that. There are a few leads, one eventually leading a leaked footage site. The footage has lost its audio and the information on this does have a location as to where the footage was taken — they’re coordinates that is far out in the Badlands.
The police chief and Mr. Steele talking around a table in a lit room of some sort - it looks like a bunker. It’s hard to tell anything in here but what Emerick can see on the table looks like they might be schematics. The schematics look like they’re plans and blueprints for some sort of project. Emerick then focuses on Mr. Steele (who is facing the camera) and Emerick could have sworn that Mr. Steele had said the word “Camps”.
Emerick sends this information to Net by request, and Net can glean from the blueprints:
The blueprints are very hard to make out, but from what he can tell it does appear to be the blueprints for some sort of high security fence.
Net
Worked on fabricating a piece of security tech for Emerick to give to Phoenix. He learned a lot after a few failed attempts, and then suddenly has it fabricated for Emerick, which he gives.
Net also gets anti-dazzle into his cybereyes, making him immune to flashbangs.
Omen
Just hustle.
Garf
Goes looking for the linear frame sigma implant and her humanity goes down to <20.
Saint
Just chilling this week!
Omen
Omen and Net go to meet with Miranda Vasquez at midnight on Saturday morning. They meet at a hotel out in the Badlands and Miranda comes with two other officers and herself - she leaves one officer to patrol around, while the other falls in with her. She knocks on the door with Omen and Net inside.
Omen asks how to do this, and Net asks what he means - they should just let her in. Omen is trying to game this, asking if they should good cop/bad cop this and Net says that he’ll just open the door. Net opens the door and Miranda is standing out there, taking in the fact that Omen still has his sword with him. Omen comments on the amount of cops that Miranda brought, and she said she can’t be too safe when an anonymous message drags her out to the badlands.
Omen comments that he felt it was important to talk since her boss just hired basically a criminal. Miranda dismisses the other cop and steps in, saying that Omen has her attention. Omen explains that it can’t feel good that she’s been pushed to the side because of Mr. Steele and he wants something - people, specifically - and he can give her some leeway in her job.
Miranda says that if she is to accept this, she has to know how capable he is. She can’t just give him information and hope that he pays her back - she has to see what he’s capable of to see if it’s worth giving him the information. Miranda doesn’t like Audun Bredall or Mr. Steele. Everybody knows that there’s an awful lot of shady things going on right now and she wants to change how things are going right now. If Omen can find her evidence of their wrongdoings - something actionable and reportable - then she will get him what he wants.
