Jester:

It's a crisp but clear day as you stroll into the hangar. Plans of further maintenance on the Hind are immediately cast by the wayside as you notice that you have a message on the business line. The thick layers of an arabic accent make the speaker difficult to understand, but you do catch a location for a pickup at noon, the name Lucretia, and a sum of 10k. A run into Redmond and back to Tacoma, by no means the most dangerous airlift you've ever given.

Calisto:

Applying an almost surgical precision, you force the blade in deep and feel the hard armor give way. You twist to cause the most damage and cut a section of meat free. The crab is halfway to your lips when the pager at your belt begins to vibrate and interrupt your lunch. A text message crawls across the screen, Jaron's grid--a private chatroom at 10:30 tonight.

Trixie:

The mall in the arcology grid looks nothing like it did the last time you were here in flesh. You sense, almost before you can see, a small falcon flying past digital sararimen--it's purpose obviously leading it inevitably toward you. Extending your hand for it to perch, the bird rolls and transforms into a small box which drops into you open hand with the last of its momentum. Tied with a red ribbon, the package has a delicately scribed note saying "open me."

Daedalus:

Visions of arc welders dancing with termites have always been disconcerting, which is why you didn't mind being woken up this time by the neighbors across the hall and their morning shouting match. All the walls seem to have lost thier sound insulation during the renovations that the building manager is doing. You motion to G.O.R.T. and he follows behind you as you move into the kitchen. The trid comes to life with a word and begins to read off to you today's agenda. Stop, go back two entries. You don't remember setting up a meeting with Mr. Falcone for tonight at 10:30 but it is in your system along with a matrix address.
