You should be okay. They probably wouldn't be surprised if we all walked in armoured and tooled up. I think that's why they've chosen a location that doesn't appear to be associated with them, but it's nice to pleasantly surprise them. They're not keen on meta-humans though, so Frank might not get a great reception, but then again they are expecting runners so should know roughly what they're getting. Chopper's particular brand of diplomacy might not go down well either.

Up to you guys if we all go in or just myself and Leland, but bear in mind how hot these guys are on customs and tradition and how that might affect our payment.

If I were you I'd make Chopper stay in the car.

Yes that sounds like a very good idea.

Have we been picked up yet? I'll stick the rest of my armour, my shotgun and my sniper rifle in the boot of Leland's car when he turns up. Along with my webbing and ammo pouches. Can never be too prepared.

Al and Leland are both better at talking to men in suits, I'm better at making them bleed. I'll stay by the car with chopper and have a smoke, maybe have a nose around too.

Editz - I'll take my modified modified tazer too, I'm dying to try that thing out and see what the power level has been upped to.

I'll pick up Chopper first, then pick up Frank.

Before Leland has time to fully park the car, Chopper comes sprinting out of the bar. His knuckles are lightly grazed and he appears to stuffing a roll of notes into one of the many pockets in his long overcoat. Sliding into the car and tapping the dash, he turns to Leland with a big grin on his face:

Chopper wrote:C'mon magic boy! Don't wanna be hanging round here too long!

As the car drives off he is leaning quite far out of the window - hurling obscenities at a group of large men stumbling out of the bar and laughing his head off.

Chopper wrote:So, we off to see those yellow cut throat bastards then? Shame I didn't have time to get changed really - I had tailored 3 piece suit ready for just the occasion.

We're meeting up with Al first, then Al and I will go in to the meet. I think it's best if you and Frank wait in the car, because if these guys are Yakuza we can't afford any fucking around, it's gotta be all business.

Chopper wrote:Hey, I can do business! I'm one suave motherfucker!

Aaaaaaand you've just proved my point. This needs a more delicate approach.

I'll turn up at some point in the near future, wearing an expensive suit tailored for my firearm.

Al wrote:Shall we take my car?

I'll make sure Chopper and Frank are tuned into my commlink and can pick up what's going on before we set off.

Yeah why not? A little presentation goes a long way. Frank why don't you drive?

Did I mention that within the city limits, no one needs to drive? The car has an autopilot, kinda like a super-GPS.

You roll up towards the office block, and before you really get a good look at anything, a Japanese man in a very sharp suit waves you in to an underground car park. You've no idea how he knew it was you guys, but he was clearly expecting you.

The carpark has a few other vehicles in. You park up next to a huge truck, looks like a very businesslike armoured 4x4. Kind of thing security teams get ferried about in.

The only other thing of note in the cellar is the lift, with two Japanese men in suits standing to each side. One could well be the one you saw outside, they look like they have been stamped out of a press or something.They both have very uncaring expressions, and are both wearing dark glasses. They appear to be paying you no attention.

Just as you park up, the lift door opens. Its empty.

Leland takes a few seconds to make sure he looks OK before looking at Al and says:

Well, you ready to do this? Let's go.

Al wrote:Piece of cake.

Stroll off into the lift. I'll ignore the Kumi-in unless they address me.

Leland follows Al into the lift.

You stand there in the lift for a moment.
Nothing happens. The door is still open. There's no buttons inside the lift, and no AR controls. The guys standing guard don't move.

Fuck, did I just miss something?

I've got Japanese Language at 3. Is that enought to confidently say in the direction of the Kobun

Ooh, a point-and-click adventure!

I'm sorry, that won't get you very far..

I suppose a quick Detect Enemies is in order.

Detect Enemies 5 (DV: 3)
Magic + Spellcasting: 3,1,1,1,2,3,3,6,1,2,2,6 = 2 hits
Drain Resist: 6,1,5,5,6,1,2,4,4 = 4 hits

Chopper starts to beep the car horn impatiently.
