Nikolai arrives eventually, pulling up in his rather conspicuous van.

Nikolai to the team wrote:Was good break, but now down to work.
Tell me, what is strip club? They dis-assemble cars here?

He exits from the drivers seat wearing a "I Heart Seattle" cap and wanders around the back to try and find chopper, giving him a little nod on arrival.

Leland heads over to the address in his car, arriving slightly after the others.

Sorry about that, I was caught up with some practice, I've learned some new tricks since our last job, and I've been making sure that I have them well down. Anyways, are we ready?

As you all get there, you notice there is a woman standing in the door at the back, leaning against the doorframe. Asian, tall and slender with dark hair, and...well, not wearing a lot. Lacy see through top and matching knickers. She is, as they say, HAWT.

At the moment she is just stood, smoking.

Nikolai raises both eyebrows, throws up his arms and smiles.

Nikolai wrote:AH! New team mate, da? WELCOME TO TEAM!

He shuffles forward and offers both hands out to shake.

Nikolai wrote:Frank, you did not tell me we were getting replacements!

Leland offers his flask.

She looks at you all expressionlessly for a moment, then says:

hawt chick wrote:You the Pastukhov group? You've got a room booked for a private show. Follow me.

She flicks her cigarette into the gutter and leads you in to one of the back rooms of the club. Once you are all in and settled, she takes a comlink from the corner of the room, and sends you all a few files from it. Two photos of men, both in amerindian style gang dress, and a few photos of some buildings near the Seattle/Salish-Shidhe border.

hawt chick, aka Ms Johnson wrote:This is Alec Littletree and Xa Firebird of the First Nations, and thier safehouses.

You have all heard of the First Nations, they are a Amerindian gang, used to be goons for the Yakuza till they split off to go thier own way.

Your job, if you wish to take it, is to tail these two individuals for one week, and report back all you can on them. Specifially, we are interested in significant activities, assets, contacts and associations with other organisations. You are absolutlely not to interact with them in any way, its observe only. You will return here, same time, in exactly one week. You will report your findings to me then. Payment will be 5000 nuyen each, half up front, the rest on delivery. Any questions?

Although shes very professional, the fact that you can see her nipples through her top is rather distracting. But, you know, in a good way.

Also, image link from the goggles to take a snapshot of this lady to ID later.

I'll also take a copy for Chopper to have later...

Nikolai frowns and looks to Frank

Offer is quite low, should we take job?

Frank, on his subvocal wrote:Oh drek... Yeah, sorry 'bout that guys.

Frank wrote:Just ignore me miss nipples. I'll go and grab a beer and the show. All I do in meetings is say silly things.

Frank gets up to leave through the booth door, as he does he gestures at Chopper then the door.

Frank wrote:Chopper you fancy a beer?

Post by **Roman Totale** » July 6th, 2009, 17:09

Chopper wrote:Yeah, let's get some beer. We may be drinking halves though if that's all the money we're being offered.

Hey, is Fun Girl Pearl performing tonight? She owes me a drink.

Mind if I interject?

Al wrote:This seems a little basic. You could pay a Sam Spade or two less to do that. Am I missing something?

Negotiation 5 + CHA 5 = 10

2, 1, 6, 4, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 3: 2 hits. Bah.

And a perception roll to see if there's any reaction to my insinuations;

Perception 3 + INT 4 = 7

1, 4, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5: 1 hit.

Finally, do I know anything about these guys or the First Nations?

Seattle Street Gangs 2 + INT 4 = 6

2, 2, 6, 6, 1, 2: 2 hits.
