Cynthia grumbled. Secure? Yeah, right. It still used wireless communications, and those could always be hacked. Maybe not easily, maybe not in time to do any good, but still. With a grunt, she shook her head: it didn't really matter in any case. So what if someone listened in? It wasn't like they'd really be interested in her, and even if they were… well, no one knew who she was. With her 'link powered down, there was no way to learn anything at all.

As she answered, she shrugged "I had some data I felt should be used, and you were the most senior of the agents I looked at for that. I'd have preferred to just transmit the data and be done with it though, I can't say I'm all too pleased about all that circus…" She snorted, then sighed "But since I'm here… What did you want to talk about?"

The man stands up to cheer as the teams walk onto the field. "You were very brave to do this. There has been some movement in the Yakuza since you contacted me. Did you contact anyone else?"

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:11, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1196

Brave? Compared to what happened recently, that was nothing. Or not much. She wasn't too trusting, but an FBI agent who didn't know who she was wasn't really dangerous compared to mercenaries who wanted to skin her, or a global conspiracy… Cynthia shook her head "I didn't contact anyone else no." She tapped her lips for a second, before she smiled crookedly "I may have obtained a better price if I did though, so maybe I should have?" The girl grinned for a second, then shrugged "If that activity comes from Tanaka's side, then it might be related to me, but I doubt it. If it comes from Shinosetsu…" She frowned "Well, that would be worrying, but it would have nothing to do with what I'm giving you. As for the third one…" She shrugged "No idea."

Good to see you're back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

"It was Tanaka, yes. Pardon me for being concerned about you, but I think I will be, anyway. These guys are not to be taken too lightly. Now, are you the source of this information, or are you fronting for someone?"

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:12, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1197

Cynthia glanced darkly in the direction of the Agent "Considering that the acquisition of the data was probably done through less than perfectly legal means, I hope you don't really expect me to answer that question." the young elf snorted lightly "However... Well, I'm pretty sure that if anyone can answer your questions about the data, it would be me." She shrugged. The agent knowing she was the source didn't really matter. It would probably make things easier in fact. That being said, she had absolutely no intention of possibly going on record saying that, thank you very much.

After a small pause, she added "As for the Yakuza, I know perfectly well what they're capable of, and I have bigger problems at the moment, which is one of the reasons I'm giving you the data." the girl shook her head, thinking about the mercenaries and their bosses. "What are they up to anyway?"

The agent pauses to eat some of his snack. "Not sure what they are doing, but my other contacts inside indicate that there is something brewing among the top lieutenants. Could be a coup of some kind, perhaps. In any case, I do appreciate the data. Is your source still inside and can I expect more from you?"

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:12, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1198

"Hmm." Cynthia frowned, then shrugged "I haven't really paid much attention to them in the last couple of days so..." That being said, maybe she should. She had no idea what was going on at the moment, but if it was related to Sampson... "I'll see what I can find later. As for my...source...it's still inside. But I have no way to know for how long. Or how reliable it is like I said before."

[Mercy]

Saturday June 15th, 2075 2112, Omnidome, Seattle


The agent smiles. "I will check your data against that from my other sources and will hopefully get a better picture of what is going on. Is there anything I can do for you? Do you want something for this information?"

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:12, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1199

"Something?" For a second or two, Cynthia looked surprised. Then, she snorted "If I wanted something, I'd have sold all that. To the triad or the mafia probably. Or the vory. Maybe one of the other two lieutenants. Or even the oyabun. Considering that Tanaka is pretty intimate with his wife..." the young elf shrugged, disdainfully. After a moment, she added "Just make them hurt."

After a longer pause, she finally asked "Though... I may have a question. Purely theoretical of course. Its a... Yeah, I'm writing a book and I need to do some research." she glanced at the Agent to make sure he had understood before continuing "Let's imagine I wanted to investigate a hit and run. A fatal one. Let's assume it was deliberate and that I knew who wanted the victim to die and why, but that I had no proof and didn't know the identity of the driver. Or hit man. Whatever. How should I find him? How can I get proofs for something that happened weeks ago?" she frowned "And don't tell me go to the local authorities, it would be the stupidest thing I could do."

The man is quiet for a couple of minutes. "Well, you could find yourself a good PI and spend some money. Or, you could give me what you have and I could nose around a bit for you."

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:13, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1200

Cynthia shook her head without any hesitation "Wouldn't work. First, because it's not in Seattle - or anywhere near Seattle - so you wouldn't be able to 'nose around'. Second, because there's too much money involved to trust a PI. Or pretty much anyone for that matter." After a pause, the teenager shrugged "I guess I'll have to see there."

"Well, after what you have given me, I am not going to make any comments based on your age or experience. Just be careful and let me know if I can help you in any way."

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:13, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1200

"Yeah, well." Cynthia shrugged...then frowned "How old do you think I am? As an elf, I could be almost a hundred now and you wouldn't be able to tell. No?"

Not waiting for the answer - not really wanting to hear the answer for that matter - she asked "Anyway... Do you have any question about the data or what analysis I could do?"

[Mercy]

The man laughs. "Good point. IO I am sorry for assuming. And I have no questions about the data, yet. I will need to examine what you have provided me before I can ask any questions."

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:13, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1201

Cynthia grumbled "True. I'll leave you to it then." She then focused more or less on the match. She had never been into sports, but since she was there it only made sense if she paid it a bit of attention. Before long though, she looked into that bit of news the Agent had given him: what where the Yakusa doing? Hopefully, the last bit of data she had would allow her to find more. If she couldn't... Well, that would be more difficult...

The game is exciting if you are into guys beating on each other, but not so much if you do not see the sport in that. The data from your Agent indicates that Tanaka is a bit worried about something. He is using coded names, but it looks like he might be concerned about some high level treachery from within the organization.

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:25, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1202

Not being into guys beating each other, especially after having had a few close calls in the past few days, Cynthia finds the thing quite boring. She doesn't completely lose track of things - it wouldn't be polite after all, considering she was invited - but didn't pay it a lot of attention. Especially considering what she found about the Yakusa. Treachery was… serious. She wasn't worried it had anything to do with her: outside of collecting data, she had done strictly nothing as far as they were concerned after all. No what she was worried about was that Tanaka had learned things related to Sampson. Possibly because Shinosetsu was moving… And if that happened… She had to stay on top of this.

»Tanya [Cynthia]: Apparently the Yakusa are moving, Tanaka seems to be worried about some high level treachery or something. Do you have someone who can tell us more if there's something going on, especially with Shinosetsu?«
»Claudia [Cynthia]: Hey, it seems that Tanaka is about to do something, probably dumb, could you try to see if you can learn more? He's worried about some kind of treachery, so be careful, he's probably on alert. I have to stay in AR so I can't do much from here…«

After that, she said via the earbud "Looks like you're right. Apparently Tanaka is expecting - or noticed - some kind of high level betrayal."

Both Tanya and Claudia acknowledge your message and tell you that they will be digging for more information.

The agent actually turns his head slightly as he watches the match. "And how do you know that?"

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 21:25, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1203

Cynthia chuckles "I'm good at what I do?" She grins for a while "Though of course, it's in the data I've just given you, in the very last parts of it that I didn't have time to analyze yet. It may have helped a bit, who knows?" She shrugged, still smiling smugly.

The FBI agent smiles back back at you and nods then turns his attention back to the game. After a bit, a loud horn goes off and the teams on the field both head off to the sidelines. People all around you stand and head to the exits, including the man you are with. 'End of the first period. I am off to the office to continue examining the data you have provided me. I thank you for your service and look forward to hearing from you again. Please keep me in mind if you get any more information like this. Try to stay safe, huh? Oh, you can stay for the rest of the game if you like, but your body language tells me that you are done here. Too bad, it is looking to be a good match tonight." He tips his hat then leaves.

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:00, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1204

Cynthia blinks a couple of times in surprise, clearly wondering what motivated the abrupt depart. Sure, it was half-time so as good a moment as any, but wasn't he supposed to ask questions about the data? Maybe her analyses? Or maybe he had noticed something that had picked his interest and had forgotten pretty much anything else. Maybe she'd have a message waiting for her in the morning. Not that it mattered too much she supposed, it wasn't like she was likely to have much more to give than that. Though maybe she would, what with her bug still in Tanaka's 'link and what she had said to Tanya and Claudia.

Bah, it didn't matter. She stood up and walked to the exit »Sandy[Cynthia]: I'm leaving through the south exit, I'll walk for a bit, can you make sure no one follows me before you pick me up?«

[Mercy]

Saturday June 15th, 2075 2200, Omnidome, Seattle


The agent had stood and simply walked off into the crowd, quickly disappearing. >>Cynthia [Sandy]: Got it. We're on you. Um, does it seem to you that the guy left rather suddenly?<<

Heading to the exit is like swimming with the tide, at least until you get to the concession stand area inside the arena, where it is like swimming in mud. Eventually, you can get past the crowd and make your way to the South exit from the dome, where a tired attendant offers to stamp your hand in case you want to return.

[Imladir]

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:00, Saturday June 15th, Omnidome, Seattle] #1205

»Sandy [Cynthia]: I was thinking abruptly myself. Why? Did something happen?«

Cynthia didn't often wish to be a man, but when she had to go through a crowd, she was almost regretting being a girl. Not that she was a wilting flower, she was in perfect physical health, she exercised, but none of that mattered and she was pushed around, almost unable to go where she wanted. At least, with her shawl hiding her traits and everyone focused on getting somewhere, no one looked at her twice. That was something. And while she was tall - for a girl - it wasn't enough to stand out in the crowd, so anyone trying to follow her would have one hell of a time. When the employee asked her if she wanted a stamp, she shook her head, she had to leave.
