Can I tell from the tatoos which clan the other guys are? In fact, with my knowledge of the Yakuza and Seattle night clubs do I know which way this club is affiliated?

You don't know for certain, but you can make some educated guesses.

The new guys are almost certainly Shigeda-gumi, based on their style of clothing and suchlike. By the fact that the suited guys came here, and the Shigeda guys welcomed them in and showed them in, it would seem that the club is probably Shigeda based.

Also, missed your question earlier about Tempo: You check with your contacts, and it turns out they dont know a whole lot about it. Its a new drug, one of the fancy new Awakened drugs that are getting people away from BTL's* and back to sticking things up their nose or into their arms. Nothing definative on what it actually does to you, as theres plenty of conflicting reports (as usually happens when something new hits the streets), but amongst other things it almost certainly gives astral perception, or something very like it.

*BTL by the way, stands for "Better Than Life", and is basically a simsense recording with everything turned up to 11. Obviously, because the sensations you get of them are INTENSE, people get hooked to them like drugs.

I'll pass on what little I found out about Tempo to the guys. The fact that those Shotozumi guys are awfully pally with the guys in the club smells distinctly fishy to me. If I knew that N-Zo had hacked into the club's systems I'd tell him to keep an eye and an ear on them.

I'll use Astral Perception to get a readout of the place, checking for any anomalies, especially on that door the suits just went through.

Also, I'd like to see if I can find that girl as well for two reasons. A) She probably knows a dealer and B) meeting hot singles in <insert> is fun!

I'll look for a decent single malt for myself and get whatever the guys want.

Al wrote:Okay. The way I see it we've three directions. There's the suits who walked in earlier. There's something fishy about that, but not a lot we can do if they're in the back room. I doubt I could charm our way in there. Maybe that smart-ass hacker's got them covered though. Then there's the Tempo lead. Leland looks to have a hook on that. Then there's our girl. Asking direct questions about her might attract attention, but if we can ask about girls like her someone might drop something for us. So, I say we let Leland put his thing down with Miss Mile-high while we do a bit of socialising. What do you guys think?

I can check out astral space for any anomalies as well, maybe the suits don't have a mage with them.

Well, I wrote a big response for here earlier today, during lunch. I then seem to have emailed it to the wrong place. Shit.

I'll post it tomorrow, presuming I haven't emailed all this stuff about hacking to my boss....
