[20:25] <@BradGM> +++Location: consulting Table 4, Adminustratum Tower /Mockingbird Cell Quarters 524CFG-245.1/Near Munitorium D, Tricorn; Hive Sibellus, Scintilla. +++
[20:25] <@BradGM> +++1158 Hours-Sibellus Time++
[20:25] <@BradGM> +++Jon’s search showed that de Fourber, Somers and Quinlan all have extra-planetary holdings; parts in an argi-world corporation, a manour on a Paradise world, and lodging at the Port Wander space station. Qunilan also returned from a hunting trip from Port Wander over a year ago with significantly more cargo that what he left.
[20:25] <@BradGM> . Meanwhile, Grendel found no direct connection from Somers to the Beasts House. Furthermore, Echo 2, the surveillance team following the Captain, lost his track and requested a siege aupex to facilitate their shadowing. Jon theorized that if the Gloom Haunt was not detected within the hive, he could have travelled on the outside to remain undetected.
[20:25] <@BradGM> . A quick analysis of the numerous meteorological scanners, vox towers and long range radars showed that this theory is found, as sporadic scrambling, not unlike the Gloom Haunt’s, was recorded, starting from an unknown point in the upper Spire all the way down into the underhive.
[20:25] <@BradGM> Furthermore, the thought that heavy concentration of gloom haunts can be used to hide the vigilante’s lair, an idea none of them considered before. With this in mind Mockingbird moved to secure the help of Bowels, Ratskin underhive guide/merchant, to pin-point nests of the head hunting critter to look into the speculation.+++

[20:25] <@BradGM> +++Jon’s search showed that de Fourber, Somers and Quinlan all have extra-planetary holdings; parts in an argi-world corporation, a manour on a Paradise world, and lodging at the Port Wander space station. Qunilan also returned from a hunting trip from Port Wander over a year ago with significantly more cargo that what he left.
[20:25] <@BradGM> . Meanwhile, Grendel found no direct connection from Somers to the Beasts House. Furthermore, Echo 2, the surveillance team following the Captain, lost his track and requested a siege aupex to facilitate their shadowing. Jon theorized that if the Gloom Haunt was not detected within the hive, he could have travelled on the outside to remain undetected.
[20:25] <@BradGM> . A quick analysis of the numerous meteorological scanners, vox towers and long range radars showed that this theory is found, as sporadic scrambling, not unlike the Gloom Haunt’s, was recorded, starting from an unknown point in the upper Spire all the way down into the underhive.
[20:25] <@BradGM> Furthermore, the thought that heavy concentration of gloom haunts can be used to hide the vigilante’s lair, an idea none of them considered before. With this in mind Mockingbird moved to secure the help of Bowels, Ratskin underhive guide/merchant, to pin-point nests of the head hunting critter to look into the speculation.+++

[22:20] <@BradGM> Lyra, you drive like a mad woman and reach Rat Haven in rather record time, less than an hour; sure you mgiht have run voer a few gangers and underhiver, but it's not like they're actual productive member of hive society....
[22:22] <Lyra_> "Fifteen points."
[22:23] <Mira_Atella> "Not too bad." Gets out of the van.
[22:23] <Jon_Wake> ((9.3, 8.7 oooh, a six from the russain judge))
[22:25] <@BradGM> jon , Bowels and his goons are at the hab limits; bowels does not see a good eye having to be seens with an Arbitrator.
[22:25] * @Grendel removes himself from the van, following Mira.
[22:27] * Mira_Atella approaches the group. "You really need to give me a way to get hold of you, Bowels. There's also a messenger out somewhere trying to find you."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Bowels "Well, it's not like I got one o,them talkin' box like you got..'course if you can gimme one, I'll be easier to reach hum.?"/
[22:29] <Mira_Atella> "I'll see what can be done."
[22:30] <@BradGM> Bowels "so the Judge told me you're loking for glomm haunt nest, something to do about some guy wearing some suit and acitng liek one?"
[22:30] <Mira_Atella> "Right. We think he's using them to blend in, and using their travel routes to go undetected."
[22:30] <@BradGM> Bowels "Crazy people in the Hive, man's ought to be careful...speaking of, you saw me new wares?"
[22:31] <@BradGM> He flips a torp over his cart, to reveal a few lasguns, barreted armour, jury rigged lamp packs and the like.
[22:31] <Mira_Atella> "Once we know where we should be looking, we'll see if we need additional gear."
[22:32] <@Grendel> ((IIRC most of Bowel's new gear was once used to try to kill us))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[22:36] <@BradGM> Bowels "Ok, so..you'll need pots then? lots of them, 'casue only one, you,ll loose it pretty fast."
[22:37] <Mira_Atella> "Bowels..."
[22:37] * Jon_Wake thankfully has a nice helmet. And, you know, the spray
[22:38] <@BradGM> Bowels "Yeah?"
[22:38] <Mira_Atella> "Locations first, sales after."
[22:38] <@BradGM> Bowels "Oh right right...Well.."
[22:38] <@BradGM> !dhroll 67
[22:38] <DiceServitor> BradGM: 1 Success by 6 degrees!
[22:39] <@BradGM> Bowels "I know quite a few big..got alot of those since a year now."
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((Bowels, the master of the Hive))
[22:39] <Mira_Atella> "Ones that are more active to allow him to move."
[22:40] <@BradGM> Bowels "Hmm..Well, there's always that one in toxic Falls..since the big'un's the same guy you're looking for."
[22:41] <Mira_Atella> "Do any leave the underhive, or have routes that would take them around security to get higher up?"
[22:42] <@BradGM> Bowels "Well..maybe? It's not like I'm crazy enough to get into the middle of a gloom haunt nest just to see if it leaves outside."
[22:43] <Mira_Atella> "No, but I'm sure the more active nests stand out."
[22:44] <Jon_Wake> "I'd imagine you'd know where they also hunt, and we can figure out their routes from there"
[22:45] <@Grendel> "Have any new ones appeared?"
[22:46] <@BradGM> Bowels "Well, there's that one down in Barn Wagon...never had much o' them there, been acting up for..oh 7-8 months now."
[22:47] <Jon_Wake> ((HmmMMmmmMMmmm
[22:47] <Jon_Wake> ))
[22:48] <@Grendel> "Barn Wagon?"
[22:48] <Jon_Wake> ((What do I know about Barn Wagon?))
[22:49] <@BradGM> Bowels "Little place, odd palce, legends tells it was some sort of place where vehicles that used to drive over the surface and parked there..turned into a community long, long ago."
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((pretty much that; used to be a vehicle depot centuries, millenia, eons ago where truck convoys moves fomr city to city with goods and such.))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((when the hvie got too big and the planet too polluted, the trucks got parked and never left again))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((thought msot of that is hive legend rather than hard facts at this point))
[22:51] <@BradGM> Bowels "I stopped going there when I expanded my bvusiness, it was a good place for the pot market I can tell'ya that!"
[22:54] * @Grendel searches through the data they have, and sees if any of the places Bowels has mentioned fits in.
[22:55] <@BradGM> ((using which data?..Jon got a gloom haunt reports, but have you got one?))
[22:58] <Jon_Wake> ((I did give that information))
[22:58] <@Grendel> ((Well, Gloom Haunt movement that he got from the searching the outside of the hive, data on the locations of the attacks, etc))
[22:59] <@BradGM> ((Ah, well, that's an underhive location, so therE's no report on that.))
[23:00] <@Grendel> (hmm))
[23:04] <Jon_Wake> ((8 to 7 months would with the others returning back))
[23:05] <@BradGM> Grendle, there's no infomration on Barn Wagon; as an underhive place, there's no offical reports, or even reconaissance, of any location in the udnerhive
[23:05] <@BradGM> ((yeah..silent?))
[23:05] <Lyra_> "So where is this Barn Wagon?"
[23:06] <Jon_Wake> ((Any criminal knowledge?))
[23:09] <@Grendel> "We may have to investigate the area. It could be useful. Or just a new cluster."
[23:10] <Mira_Atella> "It would make sense to base himself in an area that has very little known about it."
[23:11] <@BradGM> Bowels "It's 'bout a couple of hours downhive, real nasty palce too, if you don't know how to navigate it properly as well.."
[23:11] <@BradGM> ((Jon, roll underworld witha -40))
[23:12] <@BradGM> Bowels "Of course, with the proper guide, you can make that an easy trip, no torulbes, calm route and all."
[23:12] <Mira_Atella> "That's such a nice offer to go with us and help. We couldn't possibly refuse."
[23:12] * @Ribonizer (hehe@bas5-hull20-3096484451.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Quit: Chichin ga puipui)
[23:14] <@BradGM> Bowels "Of course, your judge buddy here hurt my business, a little..what's the word..financial compenta..hum.compentasa..It,ll cost you."
[23:15] <@Grendel> "Of course."
[23:15] <Jon_Wake> !dhroll 30
[23:15] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 40 Failure by 1 degree!
[23:16] <Mira_Atella> "We have always compensated you well, this won't be any different."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Jon, never heard of that palce before, much less recall any crimnal activity related to, as Bowels states it, so low in the udnerhive; it's a totally different world down there.
[23:17] <@BradGM> Bowels "Yeah of course..so...up front as always?"
[23:17] <@BradGM> He gvies his best crooked, dirty tweeth smile, really, a (underhive) crowd pleaser.
[23:18] * Mira_Atella digs out 250 thrones and hands them to him, "Just to start, of course."
[23:20] <@BradGM> Bowels seeesm extatic, his goons even more so; you're sure they enver saw that much money at the same place before.**
[23:22] <@BradGM> Bowels "so hum..when are we leaving?"
[23:22] <@Grendel> "Now."
[23:22] <Mira_Atella> "Will the van be able to get there?"
[23:23] <@BradGM> Bowels "Hm..yeah it be done, wE'll need to do a detour."
[23:24] * Mira_Atella nods and piles in to the van.
[23:26] * @Grendel settles in as well, remaining silent as he starts to study the auspex.
[23:26] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it here?))
[23:26] <@Grendel> ((yeah. I'm feeling pretty out if it at the moment. Whatever that coughing thing was its left me shivering))
[23:26] <Mira_Atella> (( k ))
