Revan

Revan didn't know chunan or his abilities but none the less he obviously had talent or he wouldn't have been there."I'm in, please continue"

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:02: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

Jazz looks to Chunan, her expression friendly: "I don't mind."

Then she turns back to Tiny.

"Sounds like this could grow bigger than it looks at first glance. Let's double that bonus, and we are all in."

[Redjack]

Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:03: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

Jazz's request for double the bonus puts Tiny off he solid social footing; he doesn't appear to be used to not being taken at his opening offer. Jazz and the troll spend next minute or so pushing back and forth and verbally sparring... Though for all his muscles, Jazz turns each counter against him. In the end, he consents, "As long as no attacks occur on the club prior to your resolution..."

Reaching into his pocket, he drops an assortment of nuyen coins, UCAS dollars and certified credsticks on the table. "Your advance. I took the liberty of diversifying the currency to speed up your efforts."

Jazz leans back in her chair, satisfied with the result.

"Alright, then. Let's hear the whole story!"

[Redjack]

Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:04: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

With the look of someone who lost a dozen straight hands of poker and just drew a full house, Tiny smiles. "Its really that simple."

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:04: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

"Simple, yeah. It sure sounds like that. Ok, so we are done here then? Then let's get started!"

Revan

Revan is surprised that is all tiny says, usually there is a corp assets or some hidden agenda. Curious " tiny, was there a recent attack or are they starting to ask for protection money? No offense why hire a team just to deal with a gang why not just buy them off??"

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:05: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

"Chunan, why don't you tell us what you know about this gang, then? I think that will definitely be helpful."

"I cannot add much. I work security last night. The Chulos tried to intimidate the hostess for prevention money for Underworld 93. Their behaviour suggests they enjoy inflicting harm. They definitely do not know how to treat a lady!"

Chunan sits back, feeling slightly flushed. He knows his English isn't very good and he wants to make a good impression. Hopefully I don't make an ass of myself. He tries to stifle a sigh.

Revan

"Is this the first time they have come calling for prevention money?"

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:07: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

"Well, guess I will have to find out more about them the old-fashioned way, then," Jazz says.

"Too bad they do not seem to know how to behave, otherwise there would be more options. But we should figure out who their rivals are and who else they have crossed. Might be worth talking to those first."

[Saytr]

" why now? Why haven't they moved in for protection money sooner, they have been around for a while. Was there a provocation for them to initiate this or are they being persuaded to give the club a bad rep maybe." revan was curious why a gang that never cared about the club before would move in all of a sudden. As unpredictable as gangs were this was still unusual.

Chunan; PAN = active [wireless, earbuds, goggles, subvocal mic]; SIN = Jonathan Wong (not broadcast); Public Profile = Chunan (not broadcast)

"I like Jazz's idea of finding out who their rivals are. If we instigate an incident, we could have a solution a solution that will not involve Underworld."

"Revan, are you suggesting a corp could be behind all this?"

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:08: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

"Could be a corp. Could be some crime syndicate. Could be, they got a new leader who is a bit of a megalomaniac or just wants to show everyone how awesome he is. Either way, Revan is right, there needs to be a reason for this happening all of a sudden. Maybe we can find something in this direction, that should help us, too. Either way, since our information base about them is rather thin, that should be our first step. The rest will follow."

[Redjack]

Tiny looks to Revan, "The Chulos are expanding territory and we are in the middle. Historically, we have been neutral of gang involvement and would like to remain so. Once we start paying off it is a slippery slope. This is their second attempt at extortion. This attempt was more public than the last."

Tiny looks around the team. "Anything else?"

[Thanee]

Jazz - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:10: Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle

"What can you tell us about the first attempt? When did it happen? How did they do it?"

[Grinchy McScroog...]

"I do not have any other questions. I grow up in community overrun by organised crime. The cause for this could be both simple and complex. We need to get out the and see for ourselves. That is my thought."

[Saytr]

Revan agreed with a nod a stood up "how about we continue this else where. First things first may we have any footage from that night. It will help id the members and help find known associates."

Kit nodded and said "I need to go sniff around too."

Chunan stands as well. "Where shall we go to continue this discussion? I do not have much contacts, but I can do...unique reconnaissance. I need to stay away from doss for a few days anyways. I have a local gang problem of my own. Maybe we can throw them together and kill two birds. Shall we go?"

Revan

revan looked towards Chunan "i think it would be wise to deal with one problem at a time, nothing personal although taking out a personal enemy would be nice. Personally i would like to have as few enemies as possible and making unneccesary ones would be nice." letting that be said "i do agree we should move this conversation to a more descrete location, i will summon a spirit to look out for the individual in the tape just in case he comes back." looking towards Tiny ne nods and summons a watcher spirit to watch over the club looking for individuals dressed wearing the same type of clothing as the ganger in the video.

revan looks towards Chunan "if you need a place to crash i know of a gentleman who could use some help in his shop as payment."

<@Raven[Revan]"think you could use a little help for the use of the extra room in the back of the shop?">

Tiny replies to Jazz, "The first time was Wednesday the 23th. A pair rolled up early afternoon as the assistant manager was arriving. Security noted a lookout, probably watching for his arrival down the block. The conversation was short and direct, though less confrontational that last night."

When he finishes, he transfers an ARO composed of several video files.
- The first shows a pair of human bikers arriving at the edge of the parking lot. The view is wide angle and high; somewhere on the club roof line on the side of the building. An elven male is stepping out of a late model sports car; a BMW. The bikers approach him on foot. A bouncer can be seen exiting the building and moving partway across the lot; he is armed with an assault rifle. The elf converses with them for just over a minute before they leave. There is no audio.
- The second is a composite. It includes surveillance video at the same level as the roof as well as an eye cam from what can only be Tiny as well as what must be a fly-spy. It is of the encounter last night and includes audio.

<<@Revan [Raven] Revan... Don't go bringing home strays. Now is not a good time.>>

"Ok, thanks. So, that first attempt was recent as well. Guess we got enough directions now to start working. First step is finding out more about them, members, places, habits, any recent changes to their leadership, and any rivals they are having."

Kit - - Saturday, March 28th, 2071 @11:17 - Underworld 93, 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle, UCAS
Kit nodded and said "Once we have a matrix overview, I'll start some direct observation. Get some pics. Learn some routines. Then we can prioritize and install some surveillance gear."
