I'm going to convince Nik we need to get to the Doc and shift the body.

I'll return all drones and get a shift on then. Zoom zoom!

I'll make my way to somewhere I can return to normal.

I presume you mean that you are going to the contact that your docwagon contact gave you.

You arrive there without incident. It’s a little back alley in a relatively quiet part of the Barrens, and as soon as you open the van doors is obvious why the place is quiet: it stinks of raw sewage. The directions lead you to the back entrance to an old abandoned office building. From outside, it’s obvious that the upper floors are derelict, as all the windows are smashed and some of the walls/roof is missing. It looks like someone has done some work to reinforce the ground floor a little though, as the windows have all been bricked up. There are also some places where there would have been windows to the cellars, these have also been boarded up and blocked off. The only entrance is down some stairs into a dark, dingy corridor.

The instructions you have say to go down the corridor and knock three times on the door at the end, someone will answer.

*ahem*

Then we shall knock...

The corridor is dark, but there’s enough light to see by without vision enhancements. Those who do have low light or similar can see fine. The corridor opens out a little after about 10m to a small room that looks like it was not an original feature: all the walls are made just out of breeze blocks. Looks like there’s been a fire in there at some point, and no-one has bothered cleaning up after. There’s a big metal safety door in one end, with one of those little slide open view port things like you get in some prisons, and next to that there is a couple of large metal bins.

A few seconds after you knock, the viewport slides open, and a goggled face looks out.

It sounds like whoever is speaking has a mouthful of food, and is spraying a bit as he speaks.

I know that quote!

I'll pass on the raw sewage. Body will be trundling out loosely strapped to my medical drone, which wobbles itself down to N-Zo.

Just so I know, who is where?

There's space by the door at the end of the corridor for 3-4 of you with the chair drone.

It's almost ghostbusters.

As for who is where -

N-zo joined Frank and Nik (possibly Leland did too).

Nik in his wagon, N-zo at the door, Frank will follow up the drone with the body on.

I was joining so that I could put my Sterilize spell to use in Nik's van. Not sure what else good I'll be unless you want me to negotiate with someone.

I'll assume you do so. Theres a bit of clunking about for a second.

But what's a whole lungfish navy to the mighty Goggalor?

Now, I know you are doin us a deal with the offal attached, but don't rinse me completely here. what d'ya say to 20k for the wares and a promise to do biz again.

Charisma + negotiation = 6 die = 6,2,2,5,4,5 = 3 hits

He gives you a look, glances down at the body. You hear something like licking lips.

Tell you what, 15k, and 50% off your first use of our call out service. The boys are thorough, deal with mundane and awakened mess, and guarantee response within 20min, anywhere in the metroplex. Cant get better cleaners. Deal?

Sounds good to me.
