IC: Striding the Soul's Edge Options

[Fenris]

Iblis swings the pack around, already flipping open catches and latches as it hits the deck. She scans the foredeck for an appropriate spot, and jams a leg of the portable satellite dish in a crack at the edge of the deck. She flops down in front of the back, which unfolded looks more like some sort of electrophiles wet dream, and stretches her arms out in front of her, fingers interlaced as she cracks her fingers.

"Alright Bessy, it's Wednesday night." She slaps the adapter onto the base of her neck, and stretches fingers out across the water.

Seconds later Quiver's face pops into view, the twitchy dealer well ensconced amid a backwash of electronic feedback and bass.

"What do the pills look like, sweety? Yeah, yeah...okay, sounds like most of your run of the mill stuff....Zen, Bliss, Burn, Cram...and Novacoke. I have no idea what the stuff in the hypo's are though, most of the fun stuff comes in pills. Do you actually have all this stuff you're describing?"

He twitches to the side, glancing around for a moment before looking back with a grin. "I didn't know you were coming into the biz, babe."

[Buddha72]

"Not me, hun but I needed to know what we had in our grab bag. I might need to move this stuff so I'll move you to the top of my list." Iblis quickly sends out a text message to the group, for those with display links and the like. We got street drugs but a big unknown about the stuff in hypos. Have a potential buyer lined up for the candy.

[BishopMcQ]

Good to hear. We will still need to find out what is in the hypos, I don't want to drop them into the ocean but I'm certainly not spreading them if they are dangerous with a capital D."

Jake goes back to work listening to the broken instructions and doing his best to help out, but something is tickling at the back of his mind.

Switching to his private line, "Iblis did you see any rockets or C-12 down there? That's what Vinnie was looking for. I certainly don't want to be told that we hit the wrong boat after all of this."

[Joker9125]

Diesel walks over to the crate of movies and starts shifting through the chips

Thinking outloud to himself as he goes through the movies "Seen it, Seen it, pure dreck, hey now this looks interesting........."

Speaking into the com now "Hey Jake ya mind if we score some of these sim chips? Ya know I aint got a trid at the house. I'm getting tired of watching the same old movies and listening to the pimps and drug dealers on the street corner outside my window is quickly getting old. And as far as getting the grease outta yer hair goes I could alays hold ya by yer feet and dunk yer head in the ocean a few times."

[BishopMcQ]

Jake smiles despite himself.

"Big Guy, thanks for the suggestion but I'd rather not see how big the fish grow in this deep a pond. Help yourself to the sim chips and a player if you need one, I don't think anyone's going to complain too loudly."

[Fenris]

The large ship shakes and shudders for a moment, the combined rumble of a dozen room sized diesel engines kicking over one after another shifting the decking under everyone's feet. The rumble dies down to a low growl, and the Eastern-block engineers in the engine room laugh and shout at each other. The celebration is cut brief as they seem to take notice of Jake and Diesel again, the jovial shouts sputtering in a few coughs.

[Buddha72]

Iblis gives a cheer as the massive boat begins to move. Tapping into the com system, she quickly double checks everyone's read-outs.

Ok, we're back in business. What's next?

[Fenris]

Schnell's voice is crisp and clear over the comm's to Moe, and thereby the rest of the team.

"Sounds like you're moving again. Need me for anything else?"

[BishopMcQ]

"Yeah, we still need you to drive this rig home."

Jake moves through the halls and tight passageways to a sink to scrub the grime from his hands. Washing his hair will have to wait...

[Fenris]

"Already under way. Moe helped me add the ship to my list, so I've got it from here." As if in response to his comment, the ship shifts suddenly into motion, giving all those not used to the movement an odd moment to adjust their sense of balance.

"Guess I meant anything 'else'", Schnell chuckles over the comm-link.

[Joker9125]

Considering Jakes reply for a moment Diesel grabes the biggest crate of sims he can carry and sets it off to the side for later transport.

[Buddha72]

Iblis finds an out of the way corner and sets up her deck. Taking a few moments, she patches back into the computer system onboard. She plunges back into the virtual world. The rush fills her once again, sweet beyond bearing. She feels the power and fluidity of her avatar. She can do anything here, eveything's her personal play toy. Pausing before moving into the system, she taps into the comms with a quick thought,

I'm going to clean out my loving touch from the system here. Anything else you want me to do?

[BishopMcQ]

"Did you find those weapons?"

[Buddha72]

Staying tapped into the comms, she moves through the virtual kandscape of her deck.

Their armory is still locked down under the new super user code. Who would you like to send to pick up their toys?

[BishopMcQ]

"Nameless, Diesel go see what you can find in the armory, make sure that the gear we are supposed to pick up for Vinnie is there."

[Buddha72]

Iblis pauses. with a quick thought she recreates the blueprint of the ship. She begins to go over the plans slowly. She taps into the deck and over lays the image link feed with a cute neon bunny with a large cartoonish sign that reads "THIS WAY".

I'm sending a guide for the location. My other thought is they could have a concealed hold somewhere for the really hot items they're transporting. I'm going to send out the blue prints I have, anyone have any experience with smugglers?

[Buddha72]

Twisting her head to a different space, a small tear forms and a interface screen appears. With a thought she begins to hunt through the computer on the ship.

My only thought is the company man may have wanted the important stuff stashed near him. I'm seeing if I can pin down where he hung his chopsticks here on the ship.

Placing her cupped hands in front of her, small balls of crackling energy form. She begins to whisper to them in binary. "Find me this man, search every corner and bring the information to me" She breathes on the sparks softly and they dart into the system.

[Fenris]

Iblis

Nanoseconds later the wisps come darting back, each wisps form showing a light tracery of contrasting colors representing information gathered. They nestle back in your hands, eagerly imparting the information contained therewithin.

[BishopMcQ]

"I don't have much to add. Loki can you conjure something up to help find the gear?"

[Fenris]

The diminutive mage nods quickly, kneeling down on the deck and whispering softly, the vague outline of Katie appearing next to him, standing with a supportive hand on his shoulder. A moment later a slim fey-like figure appears, giggling as Loki whispers in its ear and darting off among the ship.

"If it's here, the spirit will find it within a few minutes."

[Buddha72]

Iblis dismisses the applications with a thought and hand wave. Okay, I think I know where we can start the search. She quickly highlights the area on the map where the information flow was being routed. Start there.

[WinterRat1]

"Roger boss." Nameless breaks from his sweep of the boat and begins heading to the armory, as indicated by Iblis's information, keeping a close eye out for anyone they might have missed.

[Fenris]

Nameless:

As you approach the cabin door, you're startled to see a wispy outline of the fey figure dart into the room, and then exit just as quickly. It pauses for a moment and does several laps around your body, leaving behind the sound of giggling as it darts off again.

The interior of the cabin is neat, well organized, and obviously decorated along Asian themes. A small jade figurine of a dragon sits atop a writing desk, carved lips drawn back in a snarl.

[WinterRat1]

"Uh guys, something's up here..." quickly Nameless describes what he's seen, in complete detail of the figure, at least what he could make out, and the room itself. "Jake, Loki, any ideas on what that was or what I should do?"

[Fenris]

Loki laughs.

"Just my spirit. Fair to say she found it before you though."
