 My call waiting light flashes, so I hang up on Slacker and answer the next call. It's Eclipse, she wants to meet up, she has a quick job available. On my way to meet her, I call up Slacker and ask if he wants Eclipse along for the job Sammy has arranged, he agrees that it would be a good idea, so I pitch it to her when I arrive at Siskos.
-Eclipse is up for the job, but says she has another short job we could do before we go to the meet this evening, some office that the owner wants torched for insurance purposes. It seems like an easy job, 3K to split between two is sweet. Easy jobs make me nervous, and when she says it's been arranged through [[Dan Dan Soong]] of the [[B Cs]] I get feel my spine tingling.

 That is so a set up! I tell her. A setup as plain as.. well.. as plain as her fairly ordinary face in comparison to my own striking beauty. She wasn't to go ahead with it anyway, so I take up a look-out position on the other side of the street while she goes in with a can of petrol.

 We head to a matrix cafe, and plug ourselves in, heading virtually to the meet with the Johnson. The pay that the Johnson is offering seems woefully inadequate for the mission. He wants us to break into a highly secure medical cloning facility, track down a specific clone and inject it with the contents of a syrine, then to track down the tissue sample belonging to the same patient and destroy it. Sure he's offering a bonus for a quiet job, but it isn't enough for such a complicated job. We're lucky Eclipse is on hand, the Johnson doesn't want to budge on his payment, but she manages to bump him up to a more reasonable figure. He gives us all the data we'll need for the job, including details on a secure locker where we can pick up the syringe.
-We all head off, and on the out of the matrix cafe Eclipse confides in me that during the arson, she discovered a dead body of a woman. That the arson was probably to cover up any evidence. No wonder she's been a little jumpy. I'm surprised at the specifics, but not surprised that she has been once again lied to and used by the [[B Cs]], I tell her as much, but she's not comfortable hearing it.

Eclipse arranges for us to be delivered to, and picked up from the island via some friends she knows, we'll be delivered to a sewer entrance with whatever weapons we want.

 Slacker seems to actually be quite useful, he hacks into the cameras and guides us through the building keeping us away from any guards. Next thing I know, the lights are out, some sort of total system failure. We think the Ghoulish Morlocks have broken in from the sewers and rampaging through the building. We're running around trying to avoid them, and security, and Slacker's moaning about the computer system being offline and nothing he can do. Sheesh.. when the going starts getting gritty.. Slacker becomes pretty useless, nothing more than a sack of shit slowing us down. From the sounds of shooting and shouting, [[Knight Errant]] are already in the building, sounds like pitched battles taking place down every other corridor.
