Yeah, sorry to see you go - seems like an interesting character you had there, too.

Congratulations, and good luck at your new position!

QUOTE (TinkerGnome)
Alicia Marks is the daughter of Geoffory Marks, the owner of a handful of bars and nightclubs in downtown and Tacoma (he doesn't own Fat Mike's, by the way). After a lot of data tracing, Syl figures out his brother is Carlos Marks, who has some apparent Seattle mafia connections, though the search doesn't turn up any specifics on those.

Novatech is a multinational corp. They have their fingers in most pies, and are big in technology. The educational software division is one of their smallest divisions in Seattle, and appears to be more of a "acid test" for young college grads than a profit making venture.

That's interesting. . . further refine the search to see if any of the bars and nightclubs Geoffory Marks owns have any Mafia connections like his brother.

Geoffory Marks is clean as a whistle as far as the search shows. He doesn't have any apparent mafia connections.

Syl

Ok, time to dig a little more into Ms. Marks personal life. Syl sees if she can unearth some of the young woman's Matrix ID. Looking for her address, any Vehicle tags associated with her, as well as phone records (I know, this is duplicating Chip's work, but Syl's not aware of it yet), credstick usage, and any particular mention in the Matrix (ie. newspaper clippings, etc.)

Still here, eagerly awaiting any progress from the people at the club, so the team can join up again and decide how to proceed.

(Also have some possible searches pending, but they depend on what Syl found out, and my first search took 14 hours so... :elims: (I knew I should've gone for a reality filter to get that extra initiative dice...LoL))

Syl gets a lot of what Chip got, but nothing besides that or what was in the data packet.

Billy got some info IC ;)

Syl


Syl further cones down her search to try to see who owns the number at the other end of Alicia's calls on the 9th. Also, correlate the number with any previous times it's been dialed.

Computer 6: 10, 5, 4, 3, 1, 1

OOC: BTW, how do you determine the base amount of time and TN for searches?

I'm being pretty freeform with searchs. The tables are in Matrix, though. The calls go to about twenty different places, mostly in Asia and the pacific region, and appear to be to private residences. It certainly looks like the phone was stolen or cloned.

Huh? Wha... Where's the fire? :grinbig:

Going slow at the bar it seems. Chip has another avenue to check, but it's partly based on Syl's findings.

First:
General Search on the Marks' mafia connections and who there enemies are - specifically looking for asian crime syndicate rivalries, mainly Yakuza or Triads.

Computer (TN 2): 2, 4, 5, 10, 10
5 successes - All the juicy bits(?)

Then:
Simultaneous Specific Searches on Carlos Marks in LS Criminal Archives and the DMV to see what I can dig up in possible crimes he's been related to.

Criminal Archives - Computer (TN 4): 1, 2, 3, 4, 9
2 successes - basic data
DMV - Computer (TN 4): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (wooo a straight - what do I win???) :grinbig:
2 successes - basic data

Okay - also, I'm going away over the weekend and will be back on monday the 24th.

Yeah, sorry Matrix guys ;) Mainly I was just getting the OOC back to where it could be found.

The the latest search, Chip turns up a wide variety of data on the Yak-Triad-Mafia cluster frag. Carlos's name comes up a few times, but no specific rivalries are noted. No luck linking him to specific crimes, either. He's either clean or he hasn't been caught yet.

(Sorry, I've been busy at work for the last week preparing to go on vacation - and this next week I'll actually be on vacation with ? net access. Please NPC Syl for me if necessary).

Syl will continue to search Alicia's phone records, saving all the information she finds to run a filter on later. She's going to go back to the previous week's worth of phone calls, trying to obtain the likely numbers that she made before the phone was stolen.

Okay, I'm moving it ahead a bit. Feel free to post now. If someone's character doesn't post by the end of the Memorial Day weekend, I'm going to have to NPC them. Right now we have 3 semi-active players and 2 inactive players and 1 player gone. This run is low on combat so I'll let whoever's left keep going.

Right now I'm just waiting to meet up with others at the table......

Nothing worth noting. I think you guys did a pretty thorough job on the Matrix front.
