006: Welcome to Yamaguchi Starport

William returned the smile to Garvin."I didn't say what was on the other side of the airlock." He grew more serious and shook his head. "Actually Ciencia is acting for her father through the Warrant. We act and are governed by the Emperor himself and that is the separation. The Emperor will hold shares but not be a member of the Guild. Besides. I trust Ciencia to manage that gap between the Throne and the Guild when she becomes Empress."

Garvin relents "You know I'm only lookin' out for 'er. If we can wangle it that way then that's fine. I'm 'avin' enough worries with the pitfalls I can see let alone the ones I know I won't!"

William goes over and gives Garvin a clasp on the fore arm in friendship. "I know your heart is in the right place and I would never throw you out and airlock. We are running as fast as we can over a field of broken glass and try not to fall. Open communication and even honest disagreement is going to be important going forward; more important than anything we do with the technology."

"Well I think we need to get down there and collect them. I am up for it, heck I am willing to do it, whis with me?"

Arkar

"Let's do it," Roscoe agreed. "Everyone else? Are you in?"

Somebody put the plan out so we can catch these yahoos!

On the trip to Banfi, Walt checks in on Bona. He offers to give Bianca a break for a little while. He tells her stories of his life, childhood, school, Marine Academy, 3 terms in the grunt Marine, his rise in rank but Psi manifestations and what their consequences in Imperium society, his efforts to control it took some time and he wandered from business job to business job until he did. His brief stint as a cop, then his work as an accomplish d bounty Hunter (successful in large part to his psi). He hates to have to rush off, but bad guys need catching.

On the way out, he asks Bianca if she has two of those rings he can have or borrow. He’ll also ask, if she doesn’t mind sharing, what path she selected in the Ancients Temple…as he expects Bona to bear that same path. Just out of curiosity.

He then goes to suit up. Regalia civilian tactical clothes. Diplo vest underneath. Stunner pistol, dagger fab, grav knife in leg sheath.

Lets rumble. I have a couple grav spy bots and a couple creeping spy bots. I think we let them have a look, and I do a little Clairvoywnce in there. Let’s get eyes and ears in there then formulate a plan. Thoughts?

"Let's do it," Roscoe agreed. [align]"Everyone else? Are you in?"[/align]

Somebody put the plan out so we can catch these yahoos!

"So lets do it by the book, one overwatch, one near the vehicle, one on each exit, and two teams of two entry teams. Spicolli does comms and computer. Both non and lethal options, aim for the shoulders and knees, given safety concerns if you need to shoot. Ideas? Lets see a map."

Arkar

No map available. Think a really big self-storage area but instead of moving boxes, you're storing cargo containers. There is a maze of halls and levels, all big enough to move said cargo containers. You don't know preciesly where in the building the two are, but the management could likely help if they could be convinced to do so.

She's glad to listen to your stories and is attentive and interested. She'd return the favor, but those stories are of Bilis, not her.

Bianca will hand over two rings. She says that she chose The Path of Knowledge like Metz. She will correct you however. Bona can and likely will choose something else. Perhaps The Path of Physicality like you. She's much more physical than Bianca.

Walt-
"Well, I have no expectation that she will pick similar to me. She is indeed a lot like me in many ways, but I don't want to influence her to go my way. She should pursue her interests, and I realize hers alone. I'll take her there soon. Would you like to come along when we do?"

"This sounds like an Arker, Garvin, Spicoli kind of thing first."

William will outfit himself in a similar fashion to Walt. He will also bring a sap, a handful of zip ties and a couple sets of handcuffs.

"I think you have the right of it Walt. Let's get closer and scope it out. Can we back into the owners of the area to find out which particular space these guys are in or get the security camera feed."

She shook her head. "This is her decision to make. I've explained the options as I understand them from listening to all of you. She will decide for herself, though I am sure she would listen to your concerns. She's already a more physical person than me, so that is why I guessed as I did. She may choose something totally different as I have not inquired."

Spicoli can get to work on that. It proves difficult as the security system is all inside the area and does not connect to the outside. Perhaps if he were inside, he could tap into it.

[helvorn]

William asks Spicoli. "What do we know about the owners of the place? We could pressure them to let us in on their security apparatus."

"Considering the business, wave cash under their noses and they will play ball if it is serious enough. We can afford it."

[ateno]

Ankara will take his 3 stun grenades, Garvin’s modified gloves and his beanbag shotgun. Wears a diplo vest, heavy boots and duct tape.

‘A few thousand should do it, let’s get on the road and get a video overshot before we land. ‘

William returned the smile to Garvin."I didn't say what was on the other side of the airlock." He grew more serious and shook his head. "Actually Ciencia is acting for her father through the Warrant. We act and are governed by the Emperor himself and that is the separation. The Emperor will hold shares but not be a member of the Guild. Besides. I trust Ciencia to manage that gap between the Throne and the Guild when she becomes Empress."

Garvin relents "You know I'm only lookin' out for 'er. If we can wangle it that way then that's fine. I'm 'avin' enough worries with the pitfalls I can see let alone the ones I know I won't!"

William goes over and gives Garvin a clasp on the fore arm in friendship. "I know your heart is in the right place and I would never throw you out and airlock. We are running as fast as we can over a field of broken glass and try not to fall. Open communication and even honest disagreement is going to be important going forward; more important than anything we do with the technology."

Garvin returns the grip "On the face of it maybe it seems like I'm one of those more on the "outside" of the Imperial fold but, with Aster, I'm all in. Ciencia's a lovely girl an' she's always 'ad my loyalty an' I'll always be on 'er side - even if we disagree". He grins "In fairness though you might 'ave a bit more chance than me of actually bein' let into the Imperial palace - an' even more chance of not bein' searched on the way out".

William asks Spicoli. "What do we know about the owners of the place? We could pressure them to let us in on their security apparatus."

"Considering the business, wave cash under their noses and they will play ball if it is serious enough. We can afford it."

Garvin contributes "Let's try that. Spicoli give me a "plug in" and a "splice" for your gear. If they play nice I'll hard connect you otherwise I'll just cut you into their system. Once we know exactly where they are I can likely get near enough to 'em in this environment to give us more improvisation options".

Garvin's sports his "melded" regalia/stealth gear plus diplo vest (which looks like his trademark long flak coat worn over a tactical vest). He has a "fan" of four monoblade throwing knives loaded into his wedding ring.

He slips a "riot foam" incapacitant grenade into one pocket and a stun grenade into the other.

The trip to the cargo storage area goes without a hitch. No one pays you the slightest mind. It's not in the best neighborhood, but not the worst, either.

A clerk inside greets you when you come in. "Welcome to Fabeno Storage. How may I help you?"

[Thumper]

Walt-
”Go on Garvin. I venture a grand or two in credits will get you all the info you want including a look at their security cameras to verify identity and get screenshots of anyone else they’re with. Here’s a couple of sticks. I’ll expense it to the Guild later”.

what were the names of our prey again?

[Tiglath]

what were the names of our prey again?

That's the delay mate!

I was trawling back trying to find them - I'll crack on and write around it...

We should have written them down somewhere...

Maston Wiastona and Jack-o Campbell.

I had a thread where you could make your "files" at for this kind of thing, but no one ever showed the slightest interest in using it, so I deleted it. Do you want it back? Will you use it?

A clerk inside greets you when you come in. "Welcome to Fabeno Storage. How may I help you?"

Garvin gives his best gregarious smile and drums a riff on the clerks desk "Actually, me old mucker, I'm 'ere to 'elp you! Name's Garvin... an' I'm a fekkin' frighteningly bad man. Keep smilin' son an' don't do anything silly or sudden that would make me demonstrate. Good lad! The good news is I'm a licensed and bonded bounty hunter. The better news is - I'm not after you". He unclips a slim pack from his tac vest and lobs it onto the counter. It lands with a thump and the plastic sound of credit chips. "That there's your up front fee. I can tell you're goin' to be 'elpful because I reckon you 'aven't got an un'elpful bone in yer body... but why do we need to be goin' on about your bones? I'm sure they're all very 'ealthy, eh?" Garvin winks at the clerk emotionlessly "Now a little while ago two nasty bastards - button men, killers - no less, came through 'ere. They are Maston Wiastona and Jack-o Campbell but may 'ave diff'rent IDs 'ere. They are wanted for murder on Imperial warrants. I want to know where they in your facility an' to fek up anyone aidin' an' abettin' 'em". He shows holo likenesses of the pair and the warrants. "They are no fekkin' doubt in egregious breach of their storage contract with your company an' , believe me son, you want to be nowhere near the ruddy shit ton of grief comin' down on 'em. So, I 'ear you say, what the fek should I do to avoid the brown? Take the money, plug this into your security network an' do whatever the gentleman on the other end of the link says. Then, old son" he leans in conspiratorially "if it was me - I'd take lunch. There's enough in that pouch to make it last a few days - maybe a week if you go easy on tippin' the strippers".
