010: Off to The Deeps

"I cannot. I'm not into the protected area of the security service servers. They are not as open as one would expect."

The girl is getting attention, but of the kind that no one wants to see a ruckus at a funeral.

"How about social media?"

"It is large and not indexed. I'll start a search, but it might take a while."

[Thumper]

Walt gets bored of no results and no prospects at the poker table. So he loses most of his cash intentionally, gets more from the casino’s ATM (assuming the crew established operating funds at a local bank), then set off for the Blackjack tables.

”I’ll teach you an easier game, Bona.”

”I’ll teach you an easier game, Bona.”

"It's odd we basically broke even or less. But if we are playing blackjack, we need a single zero table. Better odds."

Arkar

Walt neurolinks her, “Part of the show. Letting the pit bosses see that they are making money on us, so should I need we need to win tonight, they don’t detect a trend. I’m not here to win, I’m here to search for the right guy.

You know the lingo…you pick the table, babe.”[/dialog]

As he walks away from the table he looks back and gives a quick Read Surface Thoughts on the players around the table figuring nobody’s monitoring a card loser moving between tables for psi activity.

Telepathy +9: [2d6+9]=8+9=17 error: take 2 off this result (+7 not 9)

Telepath: [2d6+9]=6+9=15
Same: reduce result by 2


telepathy: [2d6+6]=11+6=17

Should he hit a shield, he’ll look away.
Stealth: [2d6+11]=7+11=18

You can determine there is no one with a shield here, or if they do, it would be the variety that puts a fake front on their thoughts. It may be that psionics would use a private game rather than public.

Sorry, didn’t realize that was available in the theatre of the mind. If they are there, he’d play a little Blackjack looking thoroughly bored (realistic emotion for him, actually). After going to the restroom and placing his Ancients INT Medallion on in the stall, he’d come back and ask if there is a bigger stakes game than what’s on the floor?

There is a larger payout required, but once you pony up, you will be told there is.

In this case, the room is smaller and darker. The players look like bigshots. There are three currently playing and all turn their attention to you three.

"It is large and not indexed. I'll start a search, but it might take a while."

"we have a little time to wait," Jaelah says. She focuses on monitoring the drones while she waits for the funeral to end.

It takes until the service is ending for Roscoe to get a hit. She has a social media presence, but it mostly revolves around music and low-end rebellion. Her name is Madaline Coggs--Maddie to her friends--and there is no immediate connection between the two to be garnered via social media.

Though it looks like she wants to start a fight at the funeral, nothing happens, and she leaves with the crowd. The security offices barely look at her and do not pursue her. She gets into a beat-up ground car with lots of colorful stickers and drives off. No one seems to be following her.

jaelah sends two drones to follow her, and watches as the rest of the guests leave while she records their faces for more searches. That done, she recovers the rest of the drones. "Let's go visit Maddie."

The drones are too slow. They aren't designed for vehicle speeds. She is quickly lost.

You get the faces, though.

"Dammit," Jaelah mutters as the drones lose sight of the vehicle. "Can you narrow down where she might live?" She goes to their grav bikes and mounts up.

"Hello, we were directed here, what is the buy in?"

No one mentioned taking the grav bikes. If you had, you could have landed on the apartment roof. I’ve been assuming you’ve used local transport.

Arkar

The only woman at the table gestures to the seats. “Buy in is 100,000 credits. I’m Olga.”

Oh, okay. Local transport it is.

Walt looks first to Bona then to Arker then a big smile crosses his face.

”Is that all?” He offered his debit card to make a withdrawal.

”Bona, Arker? You in?”

He’ll pay the buy in for the never is.

[ateno]

"Thank you Olga, three please."

Arkar presents a cool demeanor and face of a professional poker player.

He motions for Bona to take the earliest seat she can and he takes the latest.

Arkar

[terrymixon]

Once Walt, Arkar, and Bona are seated, the chips will be handed out and play begins. The players arrayed against you are Olga, Estaban, and Enrique. The latter two are brothers.

Everyone give me a gambling roll to govern the general success/failure rate of the first part of game while you do whatever else you are doing. It is an opposed roll vs three players with Gambling 4. Serious, top level players with a very strong rep on Aki.



Bona is average at best.



Olga is smoking the table.



Estaban isn't on his game today, it seems, but is still doing as well as Bona.



Enrique is in the middle.

The RP is up to ya'll. Commence.

Oh, okay. Local transport it is.

It will take Roscoe half an hour of looking to get an address. She lives at an apartment complex about five kilometers from where the victim lived.

In addition to that, he also has some bad news. Both of your faces are up on the security net with instructions to take into custody for violating a crime scene.

What now?
