This is a quickie I've chucked together tonight to try to build a little momentum back up before I fire off the story arcs again. I've left the recipient open ended so whoever wants to play can pick it up.

Now then, who is the contact. Hmm, Ms Sumner, how wonderful. I'll give the other gentlemen a call first though.
Other chaps, consider yourselves called.

Hahaha, discrete. This could be bad.
The big red Shaktar is up for some...well, fighting really. But we can start with observation.

Discretion? Has Langley had a stroke or something?
I'll boogie on over and moonwalk onto the metro to Central.

As I'm probably the most discreet one of us, I'll join in.
Let me know where to meet you guys.

I'll offer Deej' some of my greasy sandwich while we wait for Dirk to bring order to our little troupe.

So then, everyone here? Let's give this contact a call...

Hello, may I speak with Ms. Sumner please? It is 'Ms' isn't it? I hear you're looking for people who can get things done in a manner that appears they aren't doing anything. Well, we're your guys!

Sumner wrote:It is Ms, yes. What a delightful description of the job, that's exactly what I would like you to do. I don't know how much Mr Langley has briefed you, but I'd like to give you and your squad the details in person. Much better understanding that way, don't you find? There's a bar on the nearside wall in Suburbia by the port authority called Des Res. I'll meet you there in an hour.

To show how good we are at being discreet, I will arrive beforehand and become hidden in the bar for later surprise!

Pffft.
The bar's name seems ironic, as it's a bit run down. It's also pretty quiet at the moment (late afternoon), so finding a dingy corner to lurk in isn't hard.
Des Res looks like it was once fairly classy, but the expensive looking fittings are worn enough to show the bare plastic underneath now and the carpets are a bit sticky. It's also pretty large. Its proximity to the spaceport and general decor would suggest that the place is meant to be frequented by business travellers, but for whatever reason it's nowhere near a passenger terminal.

I shall use some Detect to see if I can spot someone who would look like they are called Ms. Sumner.
9,6,+8 = 23!
I probably didn't need to do that, but I got carried away.
