FJ: The White Scars.

	Arkalest	Biax Sabina The holo-theater of  the CC is mostly empty- Save for Tuissant, sitting cross legged, spine ramroad as she casually taps her fingers against the topf of the cane. "So."
	=-=	Strypgia is now known as Elatera-7B
	Sabina	folds her hands over her lap.
	Biax	rubs at her eyes, stares slackjawed for a moment and attempts to keep her head from drooping.
	Arkalest	"After some weeks of upgrading, Elatera-7B is ready to join you in the action." She nods at the entrance. "If you may."
	=-=	WolfieBed is now known as Pale_Wolf
	Arkalest	"I am.." She clasps her hands, apologetically looking down." Terribly sorry for the length of the firmware upgrade."
	Biax	"Whofuck 'sat?"
	Elatera-7B	enters, ducking through the doorway. The LCD 'face' is more animated than before, showing cheerful perkiness. "Hello, friends! I will not eat anyone! Does anyone need something obliterated?"
	Sabina	"Hello Elatera, this," She gestures to Biax "is Biax, our newest teammate."
	Elatera-7B	"Hi! I am unlikely to eat you!"
	Biax	"Holy shit." Biax shakes her head and stands moving towards the bot.
	Biax	"Where the fuck did you come from, sexy?" Biax is poring over the surface rather rudely.
	Arkalest	Tuissant coughs. Loudly.
	Elatera-7B	"I have no idea! I was found by a Ringvolk ship on an asteroid in an uninhabited system. I appear to be Ashen age manufacture, but... umm... please stop staring at me like that?"
	Arkalest	Biax The surface of t he bot is smooth- Textured white and blue, clearly Ashen Age tech- But not too organic looking. Despite its tensile strength, it appears to be weirdly flesxible.
	Biax	"What, like you're a gorgeous piece of hardware?"
	Arkalest	"She is an agent as much as you are, Biax. " Tuissant's tone is flat.
	Elatera-7B	"I am having conflicted feelings about this. I feel compelled to point out I do not in fact have genitals.... as far as I know."
	Biax	"Hey." Biax faces Tuissant. "Doesn't mean it's not gorgeous."
	Elatera-7B	"Yay?"
	Sabina	"Biax, paperhangers it would be better to not upset our main front line combatant just before a mission against a Vorak weapon's dealers?"
	Biax	"See? We're fucking  besties"
	Biax	"You're not upset, are you, you huge scary ass piece of shit, are you?"
	Arkalest	"Correction: It will  be an intelligence gathering mission, and then we will decide on field whether the commitment is worth it."
	Elatera-7B	"How likely is it that my capacity for high-energy coercive violence will be called on?"
	Biax	faces Sabina and thumbs towards Elatera wide eyed, mouthing the word 'hot.'
	Sabina	"I see, will the SCPD be a issue again ma'am?" She pays no mind to Biax
	Arkalest	"There is a chance."
	Arkalest	"You are to not engage in open hostilities, but if they compromise the operation, feel free to dispatch them- Preferably non-lethally."
	Sabina	nods
	Arkalest	"Biax and Elatera will be to ivnestigate sightings of autonomous weapons in the district's canals."
	Biax	"Oh, shit, you hear that? You're with me, hell yeah!"
	Sabina	"And as for myself ma'am?"
	Elatera-7B	"I will endeavor to do so. I have an array of non-lethal options. Sonics and remote taser variants, other things." She eyes the newcomer warily. "Should I worry about you trying to... closely examine me when we are alone?"
	Arkalest	"You are to ind information on the White Scars."
	Biax	"You hitting on me?" Biax leans against the 12 foot murderbot. "I don't think we gotta worry about anything with you around, huh?"
	Elatera-7B	helplessly looks around at the others in confusion
	Arkalest	Tuissant sighs. "No molesting the other agents on the field."
	Arkalest	"Or off it."
	Biax	"Why you gotta take it there, boss?
	Elatera-7B	"My usual approach of eating the target or blowing it up is useless here."
	Arkalest	"Actually." Tuissant raises a hand. "If you find yourself about to lose evidence to the SCPD, you are authorized to dispose of it."
	Biax	"I think she was talking about me, boss." Biax finally relinquishes her leaning post in favor of a chair once again.
	Arkalest	"I was doing this thing called changing subjects, Overround. "
	Biax	"Rude."
	Elatera-7B	"Acquire evidence, but destroy if it may be lost to the SCPD, roger."
	Biax	"We'll get in, out, no prob."
	Biax	"Now, uh, let's pretend that nobody's told me shit. SCPD?"
	Sabina	"Spiral City Police Department."
	Biax	"Wait, we're going against co-alright, whatever."
	Elatera-7B	looks down at Biax. "I can deploy some ECM jammers and obscurants, as well as color-shift my skin with some concentration. We will be stealthy, yes?"
	Biax	"I can uh...I can keep my head down."
	Biax	"Can I just like, ride in you while you cloak or whatever?"
	Arkalest	"You're going to be given access to the  equipment stash, and we have a safehouse built down there."
	Arkalest	A hologram quietly fizzles into existence near the ceiling. A dozen or so screens, flat- Blue borders, camera shots. Each one shows a different angle of a city block, under an orange sky that barely has any light- At night, during a sandstorm, during a thick curtain of rain.
	Arkalest	The buildings here look like prefabricated- Towering piles of containers and cubic rooms in pseudo-plaster and metal that have been bvolted together, stashed- Connected by suspended catwalks in rusted red metal.
	Elatera-7B	"My internal space would... /digest/ you, I think. That should be held as a last-resort measure," Eleatera whispers to her as the hologram starts up.
	Arkalest	Some of the pseudo-buildings are just an endless morass of tubes, ventilation fans and metallic anteannea poking out of white-stucco covered angular walls- Going skywards. There's a grey miasma clinging to the lower levels.
	Arkalest	"The docks. "
	Arkalest	Tuissant hoins her hands. "Biax, do you know how to swim?"
	Biax	"Totally easy with these, boss." Biax unfurls her giant anti-swimming tarps that stretch from her arm tips to her body.
	Elatera-7B	"Um... I think I can just walk along the bottom of a body of water? I am far too dense to float."
	Biax	"Want me to build us a boat or some shit?"
	Biax	snirks at her own joke.
	Arkalest	"Well, that makes two agents which will probably  be better off not enduring the mudstorms."
	Elatera-7B	"On the other hand, I do not need to breathe, and am untroubled by hostile weather?"

	Arkalest	Tuissant leans forward. "We don't need to raise too much chaos, but do remember.
	Arkalest	"It's White Scar territory. They've got a long memory."
	Elatera-7B	"Noted. Discretion, and failing that, no witnesses?"
	Arkalest	"No harming civilians. And as for nicking things, Biax. " She crosses her arms. "I assume you will  be discrete."
	Biax	"What the hell you looking at me for? I steal for people, not for shits and giggles."
	Arkalest	Tuissant raises an eyebrow.
	Biax	shrugs and looks around the room."What?"
	Elatera-7B	"Steal?"
	Biax	"Yeah, like buying things, but without the cash."
	Arkalest	Tuissant sighs. "Sabina, you know what to do."
	Sabina	"Yes ma'am"
	Biax	raises her hand.
	Arkalest	Tuissant nods. "Yes,  Biax?"

	Elatera-7B	"I like Sabina. She was my first friend here."
	Sabina	smiles, "Thank you Elatera."
	Arkalest	"Yes, Biax. Had I just told her to patrol someplace it'd have come across as just me ordering a cop around."
	Biax	"Whatever you say."
	Arkalest	"This mission will probably last days, so the safehouse has been retooled to accomnodate your needs."
	Arkalest	"So any other questions before you are off?"
	Elatera-7B	"Evac plans if things go...loud?"
	Arkalest	"You run into the tunnels and lay low."
	Elatera-7B	"Evasion and occlusion, check."
	Biax	"No, we duck into the tunnels and lay low."
	Biax	"And hey, what information are we gathering?"
	Biax	"Just anything that says White Scars on it?"
	Arkalest	"Yes."
	Elatera-7B	has the sudden terrible feeling she's going to be the 'careful, smart, non-impulsive one' on this op...
	Biax	"I...wow, really thought you were gonna get more specific if I asked that."
	Elatera-7B	"We will have to be creative. Perhaps I should play dumb?"
	Elatera-7B	"As in, your silent robot follower?"
	Arkalest	"To be more specific, we want proof of transactions. We want to know the routes of their smugglers,a nd where thety staish their earnings. Who is helping them as well, among the populace."

	Arkalest	She nods. "They're doing all of that off-grid, Biax. The panopticon knows where to look, but it needs eyes to dothat."
	Arkalest	"Off the grid, or rather, underneath it." She adds.
	Biax	"Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll ask around a bit."
	Elatera-7B	"And avoid the police."
	Biax	"I thought we were good guys?"
	Arkalest	"Sabina." Tuissant gestures.
	Sabina	"Yes chief?"
	Arkalest	"explain it to her."
	Elatera-7B	"We are, Biax, but we have orders to avoid entanglement."
	Sabina	She nods. "Biax, we are the good guys, as are the SCPD, however there are a lot of tensions between our two groups. Dubiers, the SCPD chief, hates Tuissant, do not expect them to help us, and be careful if you run into them. They're not friendly."
	Biax	narrows her eyes, but nods."Alright."

	Arkalest	-------
	Arkalest	The safehouse is..
	Arkalest	Well.
	Arkalest	It's a thing.
	Arkalest	A four-story thing, cubic prefab rooms with walls slated in supermaterials and stucco- Over a concrete island in the middle of a literal marsh. A forest of fungi arise from the brownish water lapping at the hard edges of the plateform- At its dock, covered in webbed metallic crates.
	Arkalest	And past the fungal forest, with its tumescent trrunks and large caps dribbling organic matter like candlewax...Not much. The rain is oh so very thick there.
	Arkalest	At least the interior of the safehouse is cozy- Rugs on the wooden floors, pseudo-gas lamps blooming with yellowish light.
	Arkalest	The air here is fully filtered, but it still carries an agaric aftertaste- And it's humid, wet and warm.
	Sarah	"So.. we are doing the thing with the voraks... and I am doing what exactly? Tuisant was not quite..clear on that"
	Umbaflarg	"I don't know, how about you let me and Sabina do the good stuff and you...I don't know, try to take up less room."
	Sabina	"We're going to dig as much as we can up on the White Scars," She passes a AR file over to Sarah and Biax "Undercover constable gave us this location, a warehouse they use. Try and find records and paperwork if you can."
	Sabina	"I'm going to meet with one of their lieutenants, Koll owed me a favor, so he set it up."
	=-=	Umbaflarg is now known as Biax
	Sarah	"Uh,, I am not good with compters and ARs ? Not good enough for that at least  but I can look over Biax"
	Biax	"I'll take my chances with the Vorak."
	Biax	"Sabina."
	Arkalest	Sarah Biax The warehouse is less than remarkable- One of twenty similar ones, squat rectangular buildings all antennae and thin roofs- Almost all of it automatized. This whole assembly of warehouses sit on a small artificial island- Concrete, with guard towers from coprorations sitting at the edges.
	Sabina	"Yes?"
	Arkalest	The AR files show that it goes on underground for several levels, up until it joins a massive tunnel network that connects it to the rest of the warehouses- And the districxt.
	Biax	"That one gonna work for you, or do I have to make it even messier?"
	Sabina	holds up the attachment Biax gave her. "I think it will. . ." She glances at the glaive. "I wonder. . ."
	Biax	"Holy shit, you want a scattergun or a ripper, don't you?"
	Sabina	hums, as she sets the injector onto the tip fo the glaive. THe symbont writhes in response, as tendrils emergene and wrap aroudn the injector. The entire thing shifts and waves in tune with Sabina as the Injector melts into the tip of the glaive.
	Sabina	"Oh it worked! How wonderful!"
	Biax	"Tch. Next time, let me do the modding."
	Sabina	"Ah, but how I can learn if I do not practice?"
	Biax	"Maybe I can give you lessons. And hey, the first one was a gift. That? Still figuring if I should charge you, don't get shitty."
	Biax	"Anything else you need?"
	Sabina	"Not at the moment, and I may take you up on that, though I think my methods may differ than yours, you still have wisdom to offer."
	Sarah	"Well oh that are a number of drones and other interesting things " she says as she starts to mark them on a AR screenshot and sends it to the others

	Biax	"Touch me and we're gonna have a fucking problem."
	Sarah	"Sorry, I am not planing on doing that with you, but I am sure that the doctor can give you a salve for the burning feeling."
	Biax	"Wh-what the fuck is that even supposed to mean? Sabina, you hearing this?"
	Sabina	"Hmm?" She looks up from the dossier she was reading, "No? Why?"
	Biax	"I think she's threatening to fucking zap me or something."
	Biax	"She can breathe fucking lightning."
	Sarah	"It was based on fucking, and you having a problem with it, well hand work is also helpfull if it is not a burning feeling but a lack of lubrication."
	Sabina	rubs her temple
	Biax	"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU."
	Sarah	"you try to intimidate me, and so I either intimidate you back, and we escalate, or I am creating a different situation by giving you not a threat , but a insult, as you tend to give me after all."

	Biax	looks disgusted for a moment, before going silent. "Whatever, where the hell do I sleep?"
	Arkalest	Your AR points you at a lightly furnished room, weith a large bed with rough covers- Designed for a way bigger morph
	Biax	"Ugh. Everything's made for giants. And hey, bigger asshole. We /are/ on a team. If you need something job related, let me know. Other than that, let's talk as little as we need to."
	Arkalest	Sarah Weirsdly enough, your AR also points at the same room as your sleeping accomodations- Testified by a couch.
	Sarah	"You started it after all " she mutters and then puts her stuff next to the couch."
	Biax	"Wait, what the fu-hey, that's my room!"
	Biax	"Sabina, are we all in that room?"
	Sabina	"Yes."
	Sarah	"Okay, you know what, in the interest of peace, I am willing to be alone" she says as a sacrifice
	Biax	"Nah, nah, you stay there. Wanna know where you are. I'll find a hidey hole."
	Biax	"Perfect. If anyone needs me, text me."

[16:17]	Arkalest	Sabina [I am capable of giving you a window of opportunity to meet one of the lower ranking ones. They hang around in the same district your Chief sent you to, under the guise of a dockworking admin.]
[16:17]	Sabina	[I would appreciate that. Any suggestions on how I present myself?]
[16:19]	Arkalest	[They probably can guess you are an outworlder, and therefore on Tuissant's payroll. And so, they will squeeze every favor they can out of you- Hopefully not literally. Be prepared to fight for fair conditions inch for inch.]
[16:19]	Sabina	[I expected nothing else. I think I will be able to hold my own, but I appreciate the warning.]
[16:21]	Arkalest	[And they will expect compensation. ]
[16:21]	Sabina	[Nothing is free in this world.]
[16:22]	Arkalest	[Believe me when I say they have treasured this lesson far more than the two of  us can imagine]
[16:25]	Sabina	[I will not doubt you, but I suppose I am going to see for myself.]
[16:26]	Arkalest	[Go there stealthily, or there will  be a hefty price to pay.]
[16:26]	Sabina	[Good warning, thank you.]
[16:35]	Arkalest	-----------
[16:36]	Arkalest	Sabina The automated car stops in front of the warehou'se side-entrances- Rough tin sheets being banged on by the muddy rain.
[16:36]	Arkalest	[Tuissant here. We detected the SCPD detecting us via satellite.]
[16:37]	Sabina	sighs [That was faster than I had hoped.]

[16:41]	Sabina	[When faced with overwhelming force, let them exhaust themselves striking where you are not.]
[16:45]	Arkalest	The shutter-door opens, letting yellow light awash the car. A small spherical drone rolls  up to the entrance and gestures with a single sleek mechanical tendril.

[16:49]	Arkalest	Sabina The warehouse is vertiginious- And cooled, clean. A mat of grey fur extends in a circle near this entrance- And the hair-tendrils lick off the mud from your boots.
[16:49]	-->|	ckk1857 ([email protected]) has joined #adeva3shenanigans
[16:50]	Arkalest	Stakcs of grey crates are everywhere- And you spot Arm not far from there. They are a musclebound transhuman of NM stock- Dusky skin, long hair in a black dreadlock. She is wearing indistruail cargo pants covered in tools and a black wetsuit- Leaving her arms exposed. Her face is hard-edged, but she still musters a nod that is both respectful and deferential.
[16:50]	Arkalest	Her thoughts aren't- A coronet.
[16:52]	Arkalest	Her name comes from her right arm- Metallic, interlocking white carapace plates with black myomer within.
[16:52]	Sabina	nods back, respectful as well, but not subservient.
[16:53]	Arkalest	She makes a horizontal cut with her hand. "So, whaddya need?"
[16:53]	Arkalest	Her tone is quiet, soft- Not threatening. Definitively businesslike.
[16:54]	Sabina	"I'm interested in something that was brought into the city not too long ago."
[16:55]	Arkalest	"I assume foreign wares of a sort. Spice, probably."
[16:56]	Sabina	"No, paintings."
[16:57]	Arkalest	She mouths without sound. "Don't  say that out loud. "
[16:58]	Sabina	raises a eye brow.
[16:58]	Arkalest	"People listening in."
[16:59]	Sabina	nods and opens up a private AR Channel, fully activating the built in encryption functions.
[16:59]	Arkalest	[Paintings, you say?] "Something from the UD, I assume. Latest fad?"
[17:00]	Sabina	"Yes," [Yes, PsiCrafted paintings laced with a Psionic InfoHazard to drive psionics insane. The were brought in by a White-Scare cell here in Spiral city.]
[17:00]	Sabina	*Scar
[17:01]	Arkalest	The woman's right eye twitches and she instantly covers her mouth with both hands. [fuck]
[17:01]	Arkalest	[shit what happened to them]
[17:02]	Arkalest	"Anything in particular?" her voice is a bit brittle.
[17:03]	Sabina	[We have some contained, but without knowing how many were brought in, where they went, who purchased them. You understand why this is a concern of ours, yes?] "Any new works from the Ringvolk?"
[17:05]	Arkalest	"There's this line of paintings from a local chruch.."
[17:05]	Arkalest	[I do. Look, I am already in deep shit for this, just- That shit costed us a lot to  bring in. orders from above, you understand?]
[17:06]	Sabina	[I do yes, we are all beholden to our superiors here.]
[17:09]	Arkalest	 [Most I casn tell you is that there's more of them. I don't know where, they get shuffled around. ] She nods. [And believe me when I am going to say that they will make you pay a shitload for this info in the future]
[17:09]	Sabina	"Oh, what can you tell me about those?"
[17:10]	Arkalest	"They're made on a special membrane, halfway polymer halfway synthskin. Easily bendanble and movable."
[17:10]	Sabina	[I was afraid of that, is there nothing else you can offer me?]
[17:11]	Arkalest	[All I know is that they're not making anyone comfortable. More, and you'll need tog rease the wheels.]
[17:11]	Arkalest	[I am sticking my neck out for a Constable here, and that's not something the higher ups are happy with.]
[17:12]	Sabina	[I have a discretionary fund at my disposal. And I doubt they would be happier if we had to uproot the whit scars forcefully.]
[17:12]	Arkalest	She nods. [We can cut a deal.]
[17:12]	Arkalest	[What I want, however, is information on the glaive as well.]
[17:13]	Sabina	raises a eyebrow
[17:13]	Sabina	"How durable are they?"
[17:13]	Sabina	[That can be arranged.]
[17:17]	Arkalest	"Rather so. They are rated for outdoor expositions in a lot of environs."
[17:17]	Sabina	"Ah, so a outdoor gallery could be made with them. Though the weather doesn't seem to agree with that idea at the moment."

[17:18]	Arkalest	[Good, good.]
[17:20]	Sabina	low-balls her initial offer, as well as attaches a file with the notes on the Glaive's history and composition that she got from its creator.
[17:22]	Arkalest	[Thank you kindly. Now, well- I assume we both have much more to do, and there is also the matter of the SCPD.] She lowers her head.
[17:22]	Arkalest	[We can sweeten the pot considerably if you are willing to take care of a thing or two for us.]
[17:22]	Sabina	[I am willing to listen.]
[17:23]	Arkalest	[There is a warehouse full of on stand-by SCPD equipment nearby. Equipment and policepeople. They'ìre organizing a sting down the line.]
[17:24]	Arkalest	[If you could be willing to slow them down consierably, my superiors may  be able to get even with you.]
[17:26]	Sabina	[Tuissant, what are your thoughts on this?]
[17:27]	Arkalest	Sabina [Ask for details.]
[17:28]	Sabina	[Tell me more. I'm not going to going to decide without enough infoirmation.]
[17:29]	Arkalest	[We can be pushed to tell yoou more about t he paintings. Maybe even consider giving up  one of t hem as a token of peace.]
[17:29]	Arkalest	She crosses her arms. [No one is happy with having them. They taint the affairs, it is said]
[17:30]	Sabina	[Interesting, but we are more interested in the source of them.]
[17:31]	Sabina	"I will, I've never been coreward, but I'd like to some day."
[17:32]	Arkalest	[In that case, it will take some more direct talks. ]
[17:33]	Sabina	[But it could be arranged then?]
[17:34]	Arkalest	[It coould.]
[17:35]	Arkalest	[In that case, we may want something more. A datacore, inside the warehouse. A sort of uplink to t he SCPD's drone network.]
[17:35]	Arkalest	[if you could spoof it in order to let us access the drones, it would be even better than cavin their skulls in]
[17:36]	Sabina	[And in return, a talk with your superiors on the source of the Paintings?]
[17:36]	Arkalest	[Yes.]
[17:36]	Sabina	[Plus the sample, and what information you personally have on them.]
[17:45]	Arkalest	She nods.
[17:46]	Sabina	[Well Tuissant, what do you say? Shall I take them up on it or attempt other avenues?]
[17:46]	Arkalest	[Your choice.]
[17:49]	Arkalest	[I will hold you accountable for  it, however.]
[17:54]	Sabina	Sabina pondes her options for a few minutes
[17:55]	Sabina	[I am going to decline, I will pay you what I promised and the info on my glaive in return for your initial offer, but I will not help you against the SCPD. Tensions between the Constaables and them being what they are, I do not want to further incite things you understand.]
[17:56]	Arkalest	She nods. [Very well. Be aware that this may make things worse for you in the long run.]
[17:56]	Arkalest	[Hatred can make people do pretty stupid things.]
[17:57]	Sabina	[Or perhaps things would have been worse had I accepted. But be that as it may," She offers her hand to Arm to shake on the deal
[17:57]	Sabina	[I am glad that we were able to work this out peacefully.]
[17:57]	Arkalest	Her grip is firm. [And so am I.]
[17:58]	Arkalest	[If you are actually interested in the non-dangerous kind of paintings, shoot me a line]
[17:58]	Sabina	forwards the agreed payment over to Arm. [I do fancy myself a painter, I may well do that.]
