The Search for Marshall Richards
LGE called us in, seems the Rand has picked up a small side job. This girl Sara Richards works for the ComEx corp, seems her father has gone missing. Marshall, his name, set out my little mesh spiders to see what I could find out about the guy. Didn't turn up anything Earth shattering (hmm maybe need to think of a new turn of phrase since poor old Earth is about as shattered as a planet can get barring cosmic accidents...) Worked for Go-Nin since pretty much the Fall but did find out that he had been staying at a Go-Nin dorm.
Hoofing it to the dorms get by the guard no problem, a bit of fancy talk and these guys fold like it is there business. The place was pretty clean and obviously not been lived in for some time. Cymon lets his swarm scrounge around and get some data pads. A little them but last entry was 3 weeks prior, but the other had some pretty high level encryption on it so swipe the pad to crack at our leisure. Doesn't look good for Marshall. Drop off some cleaners on our way out just in case.
LGE provided their latest and greatest cracks on the pad and there was some juicy data inside. Seems Marshall was not just a good employee but quite high on the totem pole as the name Hitome Tanaka kept coming up. For those that are living outside the airlocks, she is about as high as you can get in the Go-Nin on accounts of her being the daughter of one of the leaders and heads up the cybernetics research.
Digging a bit deeper into Hitome find out surprise surprise someone at that level is kind of a bitch and greasing a few wheels my hyper corp connections might be able to point me to and unlisted facility, the best kind of facility. Hopefully this tip pays off.
Now that we have a place we need an in, and unlike some corp dorms, this won't be guarded by no rep mouth breathing flats. But all one needs to do is ask and the Gunanxi shall deliver, provided there is something in it for them. An Ego that wishes to remain anonymous, for obvious reasons, could get us in and contact an inside man there, we will just call him Mr Johnson and man looking up his mesh habits...he needs to get a proxy ID or something didn't think you could uplift that. Once we are in we get what our mysterious Ego wants and we will have free reign to do what we need to do.
Getting in was a breeze, our friend in the Gunanxi made us some top tier credentials and met the inside man and took Cymon over to a terminal to do his computer black magic. Left Trigger and I free to wander around like stupid contractors, it is amazing how no one seems to notice you if you are an outside contractor and thus someone else problem.
Met quite the character, won't divulge the source but safe to say I would not be surprised if he has had some work done to his ego. Seems he has bugged nearly all of the facility, not because he is Go-Nin security but he believes that Go-Nin is making a robot army to take over Luna (and he might be more correct then he realizes) But chatting with the crazies can often lead to getting some of the best info, who worries about what the crazy dude across the cubical over hears right? Seems one of his little buggies had seen plenty of Hitome and Marshall working with or around each other about 2 weeks ago. Not sure if that makes Marshall's prospects better or worse.
Cymon's black magic manages to find a second unlisted facility near the sky hook. I thought mr crazy pants was going to need to use my cleaners when we told him about it. He somehow got a hold of the floor plan for a Go-Nin facility but did not know which one, seems luck is on our side today.
Or that is what I would be saying if we did not run face 1st into a trap triggering an alarm as we poked around another lab where Marshall had been last seen. We got taken back to the check in and our inside man was brought in to clear the mess up. He folded faster French colony that was out of wine selling us out on the spot. Good thing his creepy mesh habits bleed into his real life and made him a suspicious target. With a little silver tongued goodness managed to counter sell him back to his own people and get a meeting with a shipping manager.
She was quite the darling and just smart enough on the uptake to get my meaning but not quite smart enough to realize we were not the right people. It is amazing what people will think if you start to emphasize a few words and then cast glances at the guards. Immediately makes them think that you know what you are talking about and are trying to avoid saying it in front of someone that you doesn't have the clearance to hear it. Fortunately for us there really was a problem and she thought we could fix it making a nice official document to get us in and make sure everything goes smoothly.
