The response was immediate: <<Just trying to speed things up for your rush job. If everything's the same, cool. If you just bring me data, fine, but I'm not responsible for accuracy. People come in, faster, better. Your jail time, not mine.>>

Cerberus - on a mission
PAN- Passive(Robert Nevall)

Cerberus used his AR glove to poke the map icon and search for where he wanted to go and then closed the map, opening a window to the van's node he instructed the Pilot program to change course and head for Merideth, Renton. Closing the nodes window down he let Rocky know, "Ok we are on our way to the clinic, you might want to let them know you are coming or something, the last time this van showed up it wasnt pretty... Hey any chance you know of any area's that have motels that are real lax on their security and dont require sins or have camera's? Im gonna start throwing together a list of places to check out. If you dont its cool."

Cerberus opened his map again thankful to have some image linked glasses again. He began looking over the map of Seattle and thinking about all the places he had been to while on call with Doc Wagon, usually nobody from the crappy neighborhoods even had Doc Wagon contracts but more often than not some dumb ass person with more money than brains would get jumped or mugged or just attacked while "slumming it". Cerberus would zoom in on a neighborhood and look at what motels were there and then zoom out and look at a different area. Then it occured to him to cross reference potential area's with matrix searchs. After a few minutes he found a shitty message board for safe places to take a prostitute and a few places kept getting mentioned so he memorized them and then looked for them on the map.

Now all he had to do was drop Rocky off and he had a plan for the rest of the night. He wanted to work fast though some of these places were in pretty dangerous area's.

"Good idea, you got the number?" Rocky waited as Cerberus searched his comm for the number. He hoped that hey would be willing to help him out.

The number popped up on his comm a minute or so later, "Thanks chummer, let me make that call."

Keeping the settings the same as before, so the connection would actually go out through the van Rocky initiated the call to the clinic to see what they could do for him.

After a couple of ring-tones, Rocky's efforts were rewarded with an AR image routed back through the Love Machine's comm suite to his AR glasses. It was a video image of the same old woman from the lobby, though there was a blank field behind her. She responded to his off-the-shelf icon: "Good afternoon, Mr. Murdock. We don't seem to have any listing for you in our client files. Do you have a referral?"

Rocky quickly muted the comm for a second as he called out to Cerberus, "I'm using you as referral chummer."

Not waiting for an answer he unmuted the comm and answered the simple question. "Well I've visited before, but have not had any work done. My friend and I were in a few days ago. His name is Cerberus, I think you've helped him out a few times."

The old woman smiled sweetly. "Oh yes, we like him. He's a good boy. But the last time he was here, he had quite a variety of visitors. Do you think you could help me out a bit?"

The woman smiled again. "Ah, how could I forget? That was an exciting day. Please hold a moment." A long moment later, Doctor Cline's face appeared on the screen. He was in his office.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Murdock." His face was not nearly so friendly as the woman's.

"Evening doctor, thank you for taking my call. I would like to have some reconstruction work done and wanted to see if you would be available to do the work?" Rocky tried very hard to keep the conversation vague so if anyone was listening, it would be a little harder to understand what was going on. He wasn't sure how good a job of it he was really doing though.

Rocky winced at the doctor's refrence to the first time he had visited the facility. "Understood doctor, very sorry about that. However the issue that brought that about has been resolved permenatly."

Rocky paused for a couple seconds to let that information sink in before moving on. "So as I was saying, I would like to see about having some work done and have gotten a very good referral from my friend as well was impressed with how you and your team took care of things the last time I was there. Would it be possible for me to stop by this evening to disscuss options?"

"Thanks. I should be there shortly." Rocky ended the call and closed up his comm.

"OK chummer, the doc's good to at least talk to me tonight."

Rocky sat quietly as the autonav on the van directed them back the the black clinic where the team had first found it. He was really hoping this visit would be calmer than the last time.

Adam was looking forward to his meeting with Nym, all the way up until he actually arrived at Dirty Dick's. The place looked and smelled as bad as he remembered it. In fact, it looked eerily the same. He recognized some of the patrons, and Nym was exactly where he left him. That probably wouldn't be too surprising - there were regulars at the campus bars that he knew, who had "usual tables", but somehow the atmosphere here made the whole situation feel somewhat ominous.

He made his way through the room, trying to look like he belonged here, and took up the same seat he did last time. "How's your weekend so far?" He asked, breaking the ice, as he withdrew some data in AR for review when making his requests. Sledge and Angel hadn't arrived yet, which didn't come as a surprise, but he expected them to be here shortly.

Nym smiled wanly. "For an enterprising entrepreneur such as myself, there are no weekends, only occasional lulls in which I seize what opportunities I can to recreate myself. But if this were a weekend, I am sure I would be driving a sleek chrome '63 Alfa Romeo up east of the city, something delectable in the passenger seat. After a hike of medium duration, we would retire to the excellent restaurant at the Salish Lodge, taking a break between the entree and cheese courses to view the spectacular falls by night."

He looked deep into Smith's eyes. "And what would you be doing this evening if your weekend was suffering a business lull?"

Smith smiled. He was reminded of why he had been excited to come banter with Nym, to begin with, and jumped right into the dialog with a story he hoped was personal enough to feel 'real' without being exactly about his own personal life. "Me? I suppose I would be at home, watching a movie with a few friends that I know well, and a couple that I don't. One , in particular, I would hope to know much better by the end of the night. The movie would be something light, that we all picked out, but that no one can remember agreeing to, and which nobody is particularly interested in seeing. That way, if it gets drown out by the hum of socializing, or the haze of synthohol, nobody will complain - probably one of those terrible horror flicks that you can zone in and out from, only paying attention when the music lets you know that one of the main characters is about to meet a ridiculous end." He paused briefly, and pulled an additional empty seat over to the table with his leg. "The movie, of course, would just be a pretense for us to all get together, have some drinks, and retell the same stories we always tell when we get together." He looked back towards Nym, "Reaffirmation, more than recreation, perhaps."

"Then again, if I were so lucky as to have a lull in my business, my preferences would be drastically different. I might find myself getting into trouble, and meeting strangers in bars, to fill some need that my occupation, otherwise, fulfills."

The rest of the trip to the clinic had gone smoothly. The traffic got lighter as they got closer to the warehouse district since most the wageslaves had gone home for the night, or were at least on their way out.

As they pulled up Rocky checked his gear, making sure his pistol was loaded and ready. He really didn't want a repeat of his last visit, but assuming everything was ok would get him killed faster than anything else.

Cerberus parked the van where they arrived in the same spot if had been when they had taken it as spoils for the failed hit, it made Rocky laugh a little to himself. They both climbed out of the van looking around for any signs of trouble. "Seems like we were just here." With no obvious problems in sight Cerberus secured then van and they headed inside.

The clinic was the same as it had been on his last visit, down the the receptionist and the security guard waiting for the next person to cause trouble. They had cleaned up the floor and other debris from the short, but violent fight that had occurred in the waiting room, Rocky was glad that the cause of all those headaches had been resolved.

Rocky nodded to both of them and walked up to the desk. "Evening, I'm Mr. Murdock. I have an appointment to see the doctor."

"Of course, Dr. Cline is expecting you." The old woman smiled sweetly as she rose from her chair and opened the door for the two trolls. The ork guard didn't appear to wake up.

She directed them to their right once they'd passed into the big indoor tent. They found the doctor's office with no problem, and knocking, were bidden to enter.

None of the chairs were large enough for either of them, so they stood.

The doctor nodded cordially at Cerberus, and then fixed his eyes on Rocky. "We can speak freely here," he said.

Nym spread his hands expansively. "Well, I am almost tempted to observe that your hypothetical is in fact reality, except that it cannot be so since I am not a stranger."
He seemed pleased with his chatter. "And speaking of strangers, there was some mention of you bringing people with you. I was eager to become better acquainted with some of your associates."

"Indeed, you are not a stranger, and so business must be booming - hopefully for both of us." At the mention of his friends Smith glanced at the doorway, "I hope I do not disappoint. They should be arriving shortly - although one of them isn't part of the package deal I was hoping we could arrange. They are both very interesting women."

Rocky smilled at Dr. Cline and tried to get directly to the point, "Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. As I mentioned I'm interested in getting some reconstructive surgery done so that Joe Public, Jonny Star and associates will not reconize me when i'm walking down the street. I'm not looking for anything special, just want to be another trog on the street."

<<@team:: We need to get a hold of a GPR, the concrete saw, and a tractor for hauling the saw. A tractor is a truck with a 5th wheel. Kind of like the last one I crashed. We'll need the rig, truck that is, first. Keep an eye out and think about where we can get one for the weekend. I have some ideas on where to get a GPR, and the saw, will do some work on that.>>

Sledge immediately regretted the sniff of not so fresh air, and snapped out the kickstand. With a snort she gave a gentle elbow to the slender elven girl on the back to bring her out of her VReverie and nodded her head at Dirty Dick's. She threw her leg over the handle bars and stepped off. Without looking she pulled the hammer handle out and started attaching the 5 kilo head. She grinned at Angel, "Sugar Lips gets around. On the way in, you stay right behind me. We're probably safe. This kind of place attracts the sort not interested in women. Good place for Sugar lips to get free drinks."

After remarking, "At least two steps back for my back swing." the ork pointed at the spot behind her and then strode off towards the entrance, hammer head in hand, the handle slid up under jacket.
