IC: Into the Breech Options

[DireRadiant]

Muscles are so obvious.

Des shakes his head briefly, tilting his head back slightly to present his mirror shades at an angle to show a reflection of the person addressing him. Slowly he answers, "No thank you."

If this wasn't the initial meet for a job, this would be really frustrating. But then again, it might not be a bad idea to treat these like an exchange. Should have a camera so I can could feed this tusker as a primary target to the skimmer. Which gives me an idea.

"Perhaps afterwards."

Snakes hiss as Maggie Mae drops the bowl of pretsoys in front of Krum. She moves further down the bar pouring beers and taking every request as a personal insult. An asian male in his early thirties murmurs a quiet drink order and is served without a single scathing comment and almost a hint of polite civility.

When questioned about the Suit, the bartender shouts in octaves that most opera singers would have trouble hitting. "Am I his personal secretary? Do I look like I keep track of every bum who comes in here? Gurth, where were you last night? These guys think I'm supposed to keep track of every person in the bar."

The young orc playing pool shrugs, "Umm, I was here Maggie."

Not paying any attention to the response, the fiery bartender is already laying into someone else further down the bar who was making a special request.

At five minutes past Nine, an elf in a tres chic suit makes a clear line from the door to an empty booth. The Suit in a cleanly pressed Vashon suit makes small nods to various patrons but doesn't say anything.

Once your team has sat down, he begins.

"I have a package that I need picked up in Everett and delivered to Tacoma. Courier fees will be assessed at 5k each. The package is non-organic, non-toxic and weighing approximately ten kilos. Do you accept?"

[Rokur]

Krum smiles stupidly right back at the hissing snake hair, and chews loudly on his first pretsoy right in fornt of them.

After listening to the Suit he stands there holding his chin pretending to be in deep thought.

"Accepted, sounds easy enough." Krum sits back and drinks his beer a little dissapointed. Man, I hope we see some resistance, I haven't gotten into a scrap in a while. "So when and where are pick-up and delivery? Is it fragile?" He then turns to the team and asks, "And any of you the driver and can give me a lift home?" He smiles his best tusky grin. Gonna be a walk in the park, I wonder if the Burce Lee movie is on tonight....

[Crystalmonkey]

Eh, if it all goes to hell I can bail.

"Sure, why not."

[warrior_allanon]

Wolfgar nods an affirmation to the agreement and listens quietly as the troll starts to ask questions. hmm at least one semi-proffessional, he at least knows the right questions to ask. then as the troll finishes his questions wolfgar adds, "and what is its dimensions?"

[Bearclaw]

Hunter smiles. 5K, for a package delivery? That's gotta mean a fight.
"Cerified credstick, right?" He winks at The Suit.
"I'm in, but I've got questions.
What is our expected opposition? It must be pretty serious if you're willing to pay that kind of money.
Can we get a "discretionary fund" for expendables?
Is there a backup destination, in case the primary becomes too hot?
I guess that covers me."

[DireRadiant]

Des after joining the others at the table and hearing the proposal simply nods affirmatively, "I'm in." As the others chatter his head does not track around, but remains fixed as if he's looking across the table at a unwavering fixed point.

Five thousand for a 10 kilo package!

//RouteMap:- Everett to Tacoma

60 miles. I 5, and then West on I 705. 10 kilos, Peregrine could run it over the Sound, Everett Docks to Tacoma Container port. Could drive, fly or run a boat. There must be a huge problem with the pickup point or delivery, or both to need this crew. Standard rates, package probably runs around half a million or more for someone.

Hmm, what was everyone saying?

[GingerKid]

JuJu barely has time to sit down before the job description comes out. Good, straight to the point, but something feels off. It seems too easy for the amount offered, which means something has been left out. Still, the money is good. "I'm in. Although I'm curious, will the people we pick the package up from in Everett willingly part with it?"

[BishopMcQ]

"Within 48 hours, no, 90 cm by 60 by 10, yes, varied, no, no, and no.

"If you will excuse me gentlemen, this is not the best location to be discussing such matters. I trust that you will be able to accomplish the necessary tasks to see successful resolution."

Rising from the table, The Suit reaches into his coat and hands each of you a thin certified stick.

"Thank you gentlemen, I look forward to hearing of your success."

Juju
As The Suit rises, there is an incoming transmission on your commlink. A secure data file from The Suit.

[DireRadiant]

That last answer is the killer.
When and Where, 48 hours
Fragile, no
Dimensions, 90 x 60 x 10
Certified, yes
Opposition, varied which means yes
Discretionary funds = no, and especially not with 5 k payout
backup drop, no limits our choices here
Willing to part....


Des rises politely as The Suit stands, and waits for the others, standing relaxed and not looking at anything in particular.

[GingerKid]

So much for a simple delivery...Ah, what's this? JuJu accepts the data file and opens it. Speaking to the others at the table "Gentlemen, shall we retire to a more private location to discuss details?"

[BishopMcQ]

JuJu
The file downloads into the virtual memory you allot to it and unfolds. It details the pickup and dropoff locations with what information was given to The Suit by the buyer about possible security.

[Crystalmonkey]

"Just tell me where to be and we'll start planning."

[Rokur]

"feel free to stop on by my place if u like. It's small, in a poor neighborhood, but there's rarely anyone bothering me. Plus, this way I get a ride home!" Krum pounds his beer, stands to leave, and stretches a bit sobering up.

[warrior_allanon]

If its all the same, i say we go directly there, this way we all know the specifics before we break for the night

[GingerKid]

Speaking to Krum, "I believe your place will do nicely. Unfortunately my vehicle will not accommodate one of your stature." Standing and speaking to everyone JuJu says, "And I agree we should go over this tonight. With the limited time frame, some of us may want to do some preliminary work tonight."

[Rokur]

"Swell, here's where's my pad be........ Meet me there, looks like I'm going to be taking the bus back." He turns on his commlink and goes into hidden and starts to look up the bus schedule. He catches Maggie Mae's attention and orders another beer before the bus gets here.

Dumb Krum, DUMB! oh yea, back to my place.... don't even get a ride.... stupid team... I should go do this myself.... but I don't even know where to go yet."

[DireRadiant]

Des swivels his head to focus on the troll, then tilts his head to look up, "You'll have to sit in back." He glances around at everyone else, then heads for the exit.

I'll need to get Kestrel in range as soon as we get out of the high security zones, better check where on the route we can be intercepted.

[Crystalmonkey]

"I'll come with you Krum, I don't have a ride either."

Kevin turned as he said this to look at the disgruntled troll.

"You got matrix access at your place?"

[Rokur]

"matrix access..... yea.... umm... I got this!" He waves his commlink in his hand, "and it works at home too, so... matrix access?"

Krum needs appreciative at the now known driver. "Don't worry, I won't hurt your car. Right now, he's my friend too" Krum smiles now and nods again at Des.

[DireRadiant]

Des nods, "That's it though, I can only take the two of you." With that he heads out to the waiting Comet.

[GingerKid]

JuJu heads out to his scoot and motors off to Krum's house. Upon ariving, he decides to peruse the file the Suit gave him.

[warrior_allanon]

With everything decided Wolfgar walks out to his bike and settles the helmet on his head as he climbs on the Harley. Watching the scoot pull out of the parking lot Wolfgar motors after it, following it in an obvious manner.

[Rokur]

Krum follows DES and into the comet. Making sure to look at how big the trunk space is in the car. And then, taking the time to get himself in fully without messing nothing up. Stupid comet, Stupid Krum.... first troll ever in a comet. Stupid Comet!

[DireRadiant]

Des reaches under the Comet, grabs a floating hover disk, and tosses it under his driver seat. He sits, and waits till everyone is in and seated before driving off to the location given.
