[20:13] <@BradGM> The planet’s inhabitants were getting more and more present on the sidewalks and streets, He moved into the Fliseg, a nightclub formerly owned by suspected xeno-collaborator Din Michalo, planning on meeting agent 594-34, Spinlop, Gettok.+++ [20:13] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:15] <@BradGM> ((Keeping in mind, you were given the info that's on the wiki link I sent)) [20:16] * +Mira_Atella sits with the others, talking about the newly remembered contact. "If you don't think he'll get spooked by us being so early, I don't think we have anything to lose." [20:17] * +Grendel` nods. "I will find a data port on the street to find out where he is."

[20:19] <@BradGM> ((no)) [20:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( is that included in the info? I mean, I know it's on the site, but that doesn't always mean we'd have it heh )) [20:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( k )) [20:19] <@BradGM> ((Jex simply told you about5 him before you teleported)) [20:19] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head. "No, no picture." [20:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( the site says he'll meet them when he arrives at the spaceport, so is he off world right now? )) [20:20] <@BradGM> ((No; and he owns a bookstore in town)) [20:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( yeah, that came up heh )) [20:20] * +Elana 'mhms'. 1"I see. Identifying him may be complicated. What other information do we have? We shall not reveal our true identities to anyone but him, and him alone." [20:21] <+Grendel`> "I am sure the planet's cogitator engines will have some information." [20:21] <+Mira_Atella> "We can locate the store and just send one person in. As the owner he's probably going to be a little easier to identify." [20:22] <+Elana> "That is, if he does not have other employees working for him"6, the Sister warns for caution. [20:23] * +Mira_Atella nods. "That's why sending only one person in would be better. They can browse and figure out who is who before we all rush the guy a week early." [20:23] <@BradGM> **Grendel, roll common lore (tech)** [20:24] <+Elana> "Very well." 6The Sister pauses for a moment, thinking. 1"I suppose our ... inexperience may put Grendel and myself out of the question for this duty. Who will go?" [20:25] * +Mira_Atella looks around, "I think Lazerus would be the most fitting in a book store. Unless someone else wants to do it."

And we will need to find some sort of directory, this city's tech is..limited." [20:29] * +Elana eyes Laz: 1"You will have to make absolutely sure that you know who you are dealing with before revealing your true identity. Perhaps talk of our meeting." [20:29] <@BradGM> ((funny..the sister telling the spyker that she doens't know is a psyker about being cautious about telling who he really is)) [20:30] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe )) [20:30] * +Mira_Atella nods to Grendel, "Considering this was a nightclub, there might be something in the office?" [20:31] * +Lazerus_Grim looks to Grendel. 1"I do, but giving that to the wrong person reveals that I am an inquisitorial agent." [20:32] <+Grendel`> "Then do not give it to the wrong person?" [20:32] * +Grendel` looks at the assassin. "It may, but this place was closed by order of the Inquisition. Who knows what might have been done to the machine spirits that inhabit this place." [20:33] * +Mira_Atella nods in agreement, "Still worth a look. They might even have some kind of book with addresses since this place is, like you said, low tech." [20:33] * +Lazerus_Grim mutters to himself, 1"Was kind of hoping for some leeway in whom I talk to...." [20:34] * +Grendel` glances around. "And I doubt I would find what we're looking for." [20:35] * +Mira_Atella gives a slightly smile to Lazerus, "Just browse the books, take your time. We're a week early, so it's not like we're in a big rush." [20:35] <+Mira_Atella> "If you don't feel comfortable that you've identified him, we can send someone else in." [20:36] * +Lazerus_Grim nods. 1"Very well.

[20:39] * +Mira_Atella nods to the sister, "Maybe a few nearby, the rest across the street or in some kind of nearby cover."
