His attention never completely focused on any one thing, Truth chimes in at the speed of thought, briefly amused at the irony of a legal discussion in the midst of the commission of a combination of treason, breaking and entering, trespassing, murder, reckless endangerment, and…the list goes on and on in his head as he watches the spirit’s response and corrects his fire to compensate for it.

<<�The roto is on recall and will be unreachable for almost an hour, but I’m bringing both shooters. Their eyes aren’t quite as sharp, they’re just as invisible.�>>
Satisfied that all hell is not in fact about to break loose on the island, Truth slides his consciousness back into the skulking law enforcement drone perched on the Eagledale roof. He slowly turns up the antenna’s power in synch with the helicopter’s electric motor. As the rotors reach speed, the gecko tips release and he gingerly lifts off from the roof.
The nose pitches up as he backs the helicopter over the peak of the roof before ducking behind the west side of the building. After a quick glance around to make sure no one is watching, his chameleonic skin shifts to Lone Star’s livery and he drifts out onto Parfitt Way, headed east to Madison Avenue.
At the corner, he swings north over a passing group of wandering drunks. After a few blocks, he makes a hard banking right onto Winslow Way, redlines the engine and sprints east towards the Sound. After thirty seconds, he enters the Eagle Harbor ferry terminal parking lot, zipping under the old Welcome sign, before climbing to cross Puget Sound.
Once he’s out of sight of the shore, the drone’s skin shifts back to its’ matte blue-black and speeds towards the lights of Downtown, only tangentially aware of the green triangle in the corner of his vison representing the speedboat crossing the water.

Truth slides through the lecherous, intoxicated crowd, his body shaking slightly after the hours of neural overstimulation. Just the same, he tunes in the club’s matrix feed, sets the neon green irises of his replacement eyes to pulse to the beat, collects a bottle of premium vodka from the bar, and makes his way to the meeting.
The decoy commlink’s is rapidly overwhelmed with indecent, incoming messages, and, once inside the sub basement conference room, and the scrawny, dingy hacker amuses himself by alternating between reading them and putting together the rest of his spare parts list while the Johnson talks.
When the talk of work is done, he offers the bottle of Norwegian spirits around.

Still running with her Move By Wire cranked up to full Etoile glides through the crowded club, slipping between gaps before the people around her are even aware they exist.
Her general lousy mood at the no guns policy combined with the spam result in a few less than polite incentives to be left alone, usually in the form of an 'accidental stomp on toes' or a 'highly unfortunate elbow in the side'. Thankfully, nerves calmed after the nights wetwork, she manages to keep herself from causing any serious harm.
Team Chat - Encrypted <<I do so 'ate crowds.>>
She lurks at the back of the meeting while Mr Johnson does his post mission talk, following her skillsoft prompts to nod and smile in the right places to show she's still paying attention.
“It 'as indeed and I suppose I could delay my plans for new eyes long enough for a few drinks.�

DD basks in the attention they get upon arriving at Dante's Inferno - both from the ones waiting in line and from the ones inside. Dressed in her jumpsuit, she does her best to emphasize the suits hint at being a dangerous shadowrunner, to cover for its less than fashionable cut. Her spam filter handles the proposals, adding some to her "To look over at a later date" file according to the whim of her agent.
Too bad we don't have P2.0 here, that would boost my rating for sure...
DD can't help being nervous during the meeting - this is the point where the double cross usually happens.
I wish I had some eX... I'll have to get some after this...
When the debriefing is over, DD jumps at the proposal of a celebration.
Of'course!

After the debreifing was over and she and the other runners were alone Charlie sagged back into a chair just thinking about all the possibilities for what she could do with the 40,000 nuyen. The money would go a long way towards her studies, and they definitely weren't cheap. She'd also put some of it toward the equipment she would need to stay in the shadows, but the rest of it...the rest of it was for fun since she'd be moving in with the Havel's that totally cut down on costs and she'd handle the rent with a few days a month of magical consulting... so she could splurge with 5k and still be putting a few more grand in the bank.
"Yea, definitely I'm so up for spending some of that cash!" Charlie says excitedly almost bouncing with excitement at the prospect of all the fun she'd be able to have with that much cash.
