[20:07] <@Braddoc> +++Location; Shuttle airlock 124G near the Obsidian Emporial, Footfall Station, Furibundus system, Koronus Expanse +++
[20:07] <@Braddoc> +++0849 Hours-Footfall Time++
[20:07] <@Braddoc> +++Despite the obvious dangers, Grendel and Jon proceeded forward. Both men brushed off the attempt of a mind probe, for former having a strong mind form his training and duties, the ladder having most of his mind replaced by silicone implants. They were blocked from meeting the Seven Witches by a group of skin headed, bulky men who only communicated by signs.
[20:07] <@Braddoc> Despite this setback, they manage to get a request meet the Seers. Hours past before they received word of an appointment with a certain Mr. Kaleb of the Obsidian Emporial; a well known auction house in the Expanse. Taking some well-deserved rest at their base of operation, Mockingbird then preceded toward the Emporial via shuttle.
[20:07] <@Braddoc> . Grendel’s appeasement of the boxy craft and Lyra’s steady and competent piloting surprised the Footfallers who hitched a ride to the other end of the station.+++
[20:07] <@Braddoc> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:08] <@Braddoc> The voiders thank you with a quick nod before leaving for thier own business.
[20:09] * Grendel vocally praises the Omnissiah and the machine spirits of the shuttle.
[20:09] <Jon_Wake> "Lets not do that again" Jon says
[20:09] <Mira_Atella> "You can add it to your resume. Public transportation expert."
[20:11] <@Braddoc> You can see indications that leads you to the Obsidian Emporial.*
[20:11] * Grendel moves with the group, heading for the Emporial silently.
[20:13] * Jon_Wake similarily follows
[20:14] <@Braddoc> You arrive at the Emporial; The ornaded adamantium doors are held by a large arched frame that appears to be made of black stone. A pair of obvious mutants, large abobination with half their body scaly like lizards, thier facial organs all mixed up, stand on each side.
[20:14] * Grendel activates his auger array and keeps his optical mechadendrite scanning as he does.
[20:15] <@Braddoc> The large mutants both have halberds.
[20:17] * Grendel studies the doors one he's finished studying the mutants, attempting to ascertain any technological defenses.
[20:19] <@Braddoc> They're mutants with halbereds; also as you approach them, they point thier weapon at you "Halt, stae yer' business."
[20:19] <@Braddoc> ((stae...those poor, horrible mutants with bad pronounciation tskk tssk))
[20:20] <Mira_Atella> (( heh ))
[20:20] <Grendel> ((For a second I thought they were dwarves))
[20:22] <@Braddoc> ((heh..mutant Squats ))
[20:23] <Mira_Atella> (( This is going to end in tears.. and blood. Lots of blood. They have a parkour area set up as the "Assassin's Creed Experience" that people can play on, at San Diego Comic Con ))
[20:23] * Jon_Wake raises an eyebrow at such a blatent displacy of heresy, but otherwise decided to not piss the security "We're here to buy information"
[20:23] <@Braddoc> ((In the end, Darwin will win))
[20:24] <Jon_Wake> ((Although, really, should you really let Jon do the talking here?))
[20:24] <@Braddoc> Mutant "This ain't no waterin' hole! This is a respectable auction house. Gettaoutta'ere."
[20:24] <Mira_Atella> (( You two are the ones that got the set up, so one or the other ))
[20:26] * Grendel provides the letter.
[20:26] <Grendel> "We are here to talk to Mr. Kaleb."
[20:26] <Jon_Wake> "They I guess you will have to be the one to explain why one of Mr. Kaleb's customers never arrived"
[20:27] <@Braddoc> The mutants checks the letter from behind his halberd, then they both raise thier weapon "You can get'in. Go to the left, follow the wall.
[20:27] * Mira_Atella follows after the others.
[20:30] * Grendel moves through the gates, turning to the left where indicated, keeping his auspex scanning on full.
[20:30] <@Braddoc> You enter a large space, like a allonged dome, 200 meters long by 75 large. You cannot see the ceiling, a good number of servo-ksull with large waxy candles floats 4 meters you. Machine parts are scattered all over the aplce.
[20:30] <@Braddoc> you cannot detect the celiing as well Grendel.
[20:31] * Grendel studies the machine parts, intoning prayers to the Omnissiah if they're human tech.
[20:32] <@Braddoc> They are Grendel.
[20:33] <@Braddoc> you can even judge that they are nothing more than worthless junk, positionned to act as seating for the auction participants.
[20:34] * Grendel continues on, restraining himself from sending a servo skill up to examine the ceiling.
[20:36] <@Braddoc> In the corner, there is a small framed man with a rat-like smile waiting. He wears ragged robes made out of a multitude of fabric, an autopistol as his belt and flipping voer some unkown detail on his datslate.
[20:37] <Grendel> ((too much tech priest in me. "Small framed? What kind of mechanical frame?))
[20:38] * Grendel studies the man closely, moving forward and stopping a safe distance.
[20:38] <@Braddoc> He's got long thin greasy brown hair with a pearched nose and pale, dirty skin.
[20:39] <@Braddoc> Man "Well, a little early. How nice of you."
[20:40] * Grendel remains silent.
[20:42] <@Braddoc> Man "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mr. Kaleb. You are my 9 DC party, Are you not?"
[20:44] * Grendel activates the nod subroutine.
[20:46] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "Ah, excellent. Do follow me into my office."
[20:47] * Grendel follows along, his auspex still gathering data from the surroundings.
[20:47] <@Braddoc> He turns and open a black door in the rock giving into a short stairway and into a 10x10x10 room furnished as the main hall, with technological junk being used as a desk, benches, book cases etc etc.
[20:49] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "please, do sit down. make yourselves confortable."
[20:50] * Grendel remains standing.
[20:50] * Mira_Atella takes a seat a bit farther back from them.
[20:52] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb sits behind his 'desk' moving some papers around "So you are here to..ah, here it is; Here to seek an appointment with the Seven Witches, correct?"
[20:53] <Grendel> "We have already done so."
[20:54] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "Yes of course, but ti appears you seek infomration on a von Ge-ould? Am I pronoucing this correctly?"
[20:58] * Grendel uses the best binarics to pornounce the name.
[20:59] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "Ah, yes. von G-ould."
[21:00] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "This would be a service the party were are representing would be willing to offer, if you can pay for such."
[21:02] * GMDog (tbt@208.73.jlx.svy) has joined #shadowrun
[21:02] * Grendel remains silent.
[21:03] * GMDog does so as well.
[21:04] <@Braddoc> ((heh))
[21:06] <Jon_Wake> "What would their kind take as payment?"
[21:06] <Mira_Atella> (( She's staying quiet after the brain raping and those two being who they knew they'd be dealing with ))
[21:07] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "Do understand they..do not perceive wealth as you or I do. I beleive thier tastes are more..esoteric than sinple money."
[21:09] * Grendel lets the Arbitrator take the lead.
[21:10] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaled "of coruse the final decision to the value of the payment would need to be verified by an Intercessor; I do not have autority to aprovve transactions."
[21:10] <Jon_Wake> ((What the heck is an intercessor?))
[21:11] <@Braddoc> ((one of the Emporial's 'leaders' so to speak))
[21:12] <Jon_Wake> "What is their asking price?"
[21:14] <@Braddoc> Mr. Kaleb "I do not know. But money is naught for them."
[21:16] * Mira_Atella sighs, "This is going in circles. You want us to agree to payment, but you don't know what it is they want until we agree to it? Smart."
[21:16] * Braddoc is now known as BradGM
[21:16] * Arto (ryan@e-90-905-078-65.hsd4.ut.comcast.net) has joined #shadowrun
[21:17] <Grendel> ((brb))
[21:18] <@BradGM> Mr. Kaleb "I am not one to judge how or waht a client demands as payment. I know they do not value money, they are powerful seers, and see value in what we see as worthless or mundane."
[21:19] <Mira_Atella> "That's understood, but we can't agree to whatever they are wanting, if we don't know what it is."
[21:21] <@BradGM> Mr. Kaleb "There is no immediate demand to pay now; WE do extent the payment period to 24 hours. station time of course."
[21:22] * Mira_Atella leans back in the chair, looking annoyed.
[21:24] <@BradGM> Mr Kalbed grins like a rat.
[21:24] <Jon_Wake> ((Lets see, I have intimidate, but str 30 is not a very good bet))
[21:25] <Mira_Atella> "So far you've said nothing of any worth. You are wasting our time."
[21:26] <Jon_Wake> "If you are dancing around the issue, I suggest you stop playing games with us"
[21:28] <@BradGM> Mr. Kaleb "I am only presenting the business agreement you wish to take with the party we are representing I assure you. The Seven witches are not your usual merchant or Rogue Trader, but we treat all of our clients the same."
[21:28] <Grendel> ((Back, sorry. Had to catch the garbage))
[21:30] <Grendel> "How would arrangements be made? We simply tell you what we want, you tell them, they tell you the payment and then you contact us again?"
[21:30] <Mira_Atella> "You've presented nothing. Knowing that we'd need to pay for services is not a revelation."
[21:31] <Jon_Wake> ((Wait, hold on, is he just trying to legalise us? I do have scholastic lore (Judgement), so jon would know if they're missing something)
[21:31] <@BradGM> Mr. Kaleb "You bring the payment, we verify id it is worthy, then we arrange for an appointment between you and our client."
[21:33] <Jon_Wake> ((So we actually have to find something they want worth while, without knowing what they want))
[21:33] <Mira_Atella> "If you knew what the payment was, this meeting would have a purpose. You knew what information we were looking for, there's no reason a price wouldn't have been thought of before we arrived."
[21:34] <Grendel> ((This does seem a little hinky heh))
[21:34] * Mira_Atella stands up and heads towards the exit. "If you two can figure this out, have at it. I already have enough of a headache from the witches without this."
[21:35] <@BradGM> Mr. Kaleb "Perhaps our client merely verifies how much the information, and thier help, is worth to you. I am merely present to not see you amass money, jewels and gold for nothing."
[21:35] <Grendel> "Inefficient."
[21:36] <Jon_Wake> "so this is simply a test to them"

[20:07] <@Braddoc> +++Despite the obvious dangers, Grendel and Jon proceeded forward. Both men brushed off the attempt of a mind probe, for former having a strong mind form his training and duties, the ladder having most of his mind replaced by silicone implants. They were blocked from meeting the Seven Witches by a group of skin headed, bulky men who only communicated by signs.
[20:07] <@Braddoc> Despite this setback, they manage to get a request meet the Seers. Hours past before they received word of an appointment with a certain Mr. Kaleb of the Obsidian Emporial; a well known auction house in the Expanse. Taking some well-deserved rest at their base of operation, Mockingbird then preceded toward the Emporial via shuttle.

[20:11] <@Braddoc> You can see indications that leads you to the Obsidian Emporial.*
[20:11] * Grendel moves with the group, heading for the Emporial silently.
[20:13] * Jon_Wake similarily follows
[20:14] <@Braddoc> You arrive at the Emporial; The ornaded adamantium doors are held by a large arched frame that appears to be made of black stone. A pair of obvious mutants, large abobination with half their body scaly like lizards, thier facial organs all mixed up, stand on each side.
[20:14] * Grendel activates his auger array and keeps his optical mechadendrite scanning as he does.
[20:15] <@Braddoc> The large mutants both have halberds.
[20:17] * Grendel studies the doors one he's finished studying the mutants, attempting to ascertain any technological defenses.
[20:19] <@Braddoc> They're mutants with halbereds; also as you approach them, they point thier weapon at you "Halt, stae yer' business."
