Shen's Quest IC, OMG I'm running for Emo Samurai... Options

[emo samurai]

ooc- I will, thank you.

[emo samurai]

ooc- I have a connection here. We can start again.

[Ophis]

"The big surprise is that they're clean, no signs of chip or drug abuse. Just low grade torture and sexual abuse."

[emo samurai]

"Okay... I think I'm as ready as I'll ever be to talk to them."

[Ophis]

Cheerleader nods and signals for you to follow her, she leads you into a back room, she stops at the door, in Mandarin she says "Wing, this is Shen, he's the man Phoenix sent to help you. Is it okay for him to come and see you?"

As she waits for a reply Wildside steps up to you handing you a commlink of odd design, marked with a stylised hand and attaches offers you a hair band. "Comm and Trodes from Phoenix, he'll be able to send you useful info down it."

[emo samurai]

Shen dons the equipment and waits alongside Cheerleader and Wildside.

[Ophis]

As you don the equipment an AR hud springs up in front of you, with a mere thought you have access to a number of files both on the girls and on their captor.

[emo samurai]

I access it.

[Ophis]

You get a fair list of details. Wing grew up in Soeul, Korea, parents were middle management for a Wuxing subsidary. She went to a good school, notes show good marks until she was about 15 then they drop and she seems to be involved in several incidents at school, looks like she was being bullied. Parents frowned on her doing badly, she ran away from home at 16 and Phoenix suggests she was picked up by slavers from the Black Chrysanthenum within a week or two, then sold to Kratos in early 2068.

[ Spoiler ]

Anything specific you want to know?

[emo samurai]

I read up on the incidents.

[Ophis]

General being in fights, having other peoples belongings found in her bag (when she denied having took them), nothing major, just quite a few of them.

[emo samurai]

Any notes from previous psychologists? School counselors count.

[Ophis]

Nothing useful, she didn't tell the School Counsellor a thing.

[emo samurai]

Anything on her parents? If not, then we can continue.

[Ophis]

Nothing huge, both middle management in Wuxing, still are, daughter officially listed dead.

[Ophis]

You scan the info for a few seconds, the database interface in surprisingly easy to use, it's like looking into you own memory. Wing looks up at Cheerleader and says, "I suppose, but he's not allowed to touch me." Her voice is harsh with an underlying sense of fear.

[emo samurai]

Shen waits for somebody to explicitly to tell him to go inside before doing so, either Cheerleader or Wing herself.

[Ophis]

"Okay, I'll leave you two too it," says Cheerleader quietly signalling you into the room, "Wing I'll be just out here if you need anything."

With that she steps out of the room, time to get on with the work.

[emo samurai]

He quietly steps in and introduces himself. "Hello, my name is Shen, and Phoenix asked me to help you. You may tell me anything you wish, and you are under no obligation to listen to anything I say."

[Ophis]

"how can you help me?" her question comes out sounding almost rhetorical, her voice spiced with a mix of desperation and anger.

[emo samurai]

"You can begin by telling me what you feel you need help with, whether or not you have any hope it can be helped. When you don't know what to do, it's best to know as much as possible."

[Ophis]

"How am I going to escape him?" she say panic filling her eyes, "he can get me where ever I go. He doesn't let his possessions go for long."

[emo samurai]

"He doesn't know about this place, and right now, Phoenix and his teams are finding ways to kill him. I may even help out myself, time permitting. Even if we don't manage to kill him, which I highly doubt, I have a contact in Wuxing that has hidden me from my family for the past few months, and they're a rich and powerful noble family in China with an army of mages and hackers. I have so far been safe, and I'm sure they could hide you from someone with 1/10th their resources."

[Ophis]

"I'm safe here but I can't live in here all my life."

[emo samurai]

"As I said, if you leave, Wuxing can protect you easily. And even if the raid on his place fails and he manages to evade them with his escape pod, he'll be too busy for a long time to find you. Even astral tracking probably won't work, because myself or Wuxing would gladly set up a ward to protect you from that."
