    “Thanks Mato, I’ll keep that in mind. It is nice that you know these things she pauses and then adds Not that anybody would care what I think about politics. “

    I can be Emma Miller, from UTE. she responds while accepting the SIN.

    She takes notice that Cunnigham has a sense of humor, and has done research AM EM is not accidental – or perhaps it is. Who knows. She listens standing next to Jawsey but does not ask more questions.


    >> Jawsey once settled take Trouble to scout the place. The building would feel smaller when you move faster. I’ll bless you before you go so it is easier to notice things.

    Hi Jack,

    @Tecumesh

    No, no close combat skills. I gave her the fling spell also for self-defense, but influence can work. You need special clothes for the growth spell (which she can’t afford).

    Trouble is easy: He has 5 in all stats, the default skills (assessing, perception, unarmed combat, astral combat if I recall), and sneaking. – 10 dice for any skill he has, 4 dice for any defaultable skill.

    I think that he can provide reasonable protection or distraction (and the growth spell can work on him too).

    I’ll make him a page when I have some time, but I assume that he can provide reasonable protection

    @Tecumesh nice touch about the morning pep talk. I imagine AM feeling awkward to have it, considering the size/ability differences.

    Rape hazard, from people that can get away with it because they are rich, lovely. I dislike these people more already… The anti-rape clothes are a nice touch, but I will not be victimized easily. She sighs and dresses, and packs her beg, frustrated that she has to be abused by rich people to make a living. While not especially biased against anyone as an individual, growing up poor, and SINless does leave a mark on AM as these are the people that use their capital to control all the resources and enslave the rest of them.


    “Trouble, you join us but stay astral most of the time when I am working. Keep me safe in there sweetie,” she says to her new love and strokes him. “Not sure how I am going to keep appearances there, I hope I am strong enough” Trouble hurls but says very little in response. Then he disappears and whispers “Ready”.

    “Not like you have anything to pack” she comments, and makes a last pass on her belongings making sure she brought anything she needs.

    Once arriving she lets Jawsey do the speaking, she takes a Segway and follows him anxious, and out of place. That kind of violent language does not bode very well with her when she considers that her clothes are locked because a guest trying to take her by force is considered normal enough to prepare. Yet, she is grateful, while far from harmless it may save her the need for violence.

    Jack can you add some explanation of the uniforms/armored clothes so I’ll add them to AM’s sheet. I’d imagine they’ll be useful even after this gig.

    AM responds “you may be right, but a computer fraud means that the man is a criminal, and it also means that he is not rich enough to belong there. Not rich enough to silence the claims so either daddy is not as business savvy as he is legendary, or he is just not sharing the wealth with his prodigy. Bounding or not, Pike can find a better decker as a contact… I mean if I would worm in there, I’d suspect myself for the same reasons.”

    AM responds “I tried to find the weak spots, e.g. to see if Mr. Bloom may be compromised or to try and figure out the relationship between Katia and Maria. Thorbjörn Valez is also not exactly the kind of person I’d imagine getting invited to such a party. I mean, shadowrunners rarely become nobility, they either die young or they get enough money to live comfortably and retire, but rich to the point of being invited to such an occasion? It makes me wonder.

    Invictus is likely irrelevant, and we can perhaps drop him. I mean, his relationship with Pike is long before this marriage, and as much as I do not trust or understand spirits I do not see a conspiracy there. What do you think Jawsey?”

    AM shares with Janet.

    I have little information on them.

    Thorbjörn Valez Is a computer specialist from Europe, son of a legendary shadowrunner.

    I’d like to know if he is related to any nobility or to anyone else on my list? do you think he is still shadowrunner?

    Katya Komarova: is a Bodyguard and close confidant to Maria Josefina Isabela Marta Alfonsa Elena Ludovica Carlotta de Borbón y Parade, Duchess of Sevilla. Yes, I know…

    – how did the two meet?

    – What did Katya do before that?

    – Is she affiliated with anyone else on my list?

    – Kurt van der Bloom: Another technology expert. Matrix security and such, can you find any dirt on him? I want to know if he may be vulnerable to extorsion. He may be a gambler if that helps.

    Invictus – we know his story, free spirit of man exists since the forth age, claims to be rich, others say he is cruel and coward. Worked with Ares as an advisor. Can you find anything else? What motivates him? Can you tell me of his relation to the Pike family? Is he connected to other families as well?

    I sent Janet a message a couple of posts ago right after the matrix search. (at least I meant to send). Anyhow, AM sends her the guests we did not research along with the willingness to pay for information about them.

    Jawsey can do the other infobroker (AM does not know him).

    AM explains “Maybe so, but it just feels strange considering how many things she must need to do, and that she went to that university and was in the public there, and famous, and dating another aristocrat presumably. Far from me.”

    AM says “I’ll look at their matrix security, but I assume it would be very good. Not to say that I could not hack it, but to say that one needs to be extra careful when we stay at the crime scene. It is one thing to hack some random camera, and another to hack the security system and continue to live in that mansion for a few more days. With the kind of money they swing, they should have good security.

    She pauses and says Take Trouble with you when you do astral scouting, I bet he could use the exercise, and I cannot take him myself. You keep each other safe.

    AM passes the remaining names to Janet, asking

    >>Janet I am passing you some names, I’ll pay for information about them.

    One thing that worries her is the duchess, it seems a bit off but could she be a grifter? Death of an entire family, no more matrix presence, little to no social connections. She seems like the ideal person for identity theft, and Pyke is going to hand her a priceless ring. On the other hand, they are dating for a while now… Could someone really do that?


    “Are certain that miss many names is really the Duchess? I mean, her background is just so perfect for a con, that I am almost tempted to use it for a long con like in that Hustle trid .

    (SR is a bit light about popular culture references, so I did not know what to reference).



    AM shares her summaries with the team, forming them some neat looking digital archive.

    Spoiler:
    I’ll appreciate if someone copies it, I must admit that I am short/exhausted to the point of not reading all of it as carefully as I wished, and just scheming on it.

    Laters – she takes the scanner without ceremony and scans the clothes as thoroughly as she can, and then physically observes them, checks them for silent running icons in the matrix, and even astrally assense them. One can never be certain with people that have too much money in their hands.

    Getting back home, AM heads to her room, lays down, and calls Troubles to assist her. It takes two tries but she gets the clarity she requires. She thanks her cat, and sends him back to Mato to watch a trid. Augmented in her self, she spends the time searching for things, and to her surprise Troubles joins her after a few hours when she tries to get into obscure things. The two work for a long while, and while Trouble has no experience in computers he has a bright mind.

    Once, exhausted, the small elf decides to retire, and sleep – waiting for a new day.
