 I ring around the team. No way they're getting any sleep if I'm not. I tell them all about the 9am meet. I ring Danny last, and his paranoia is more awake than mine at this hour, he says I should ring Sammy back to make sure the meet is legit. Good idea!
-I ring Sammy back - maybe he's popped into bed to catch some Zzzs, and I'll get to wake him up. There's my first smile of the day. He doesn't answer. Smile gone. The meet's got to be a fucking set up! I put my money on the [[B Cs]] on general principle!

 I ring around the team again, arranging an 8am meet at a place Eclipse knows at the [[Log Jam]] to discuss what the hell we're gonna do. Any chance of a brief snooze has left the apartment, and I follow soon after.

 We need to meet with someone from [[Lee Chu Wan]], and Slacker suggests we do it on the matrix. I suggest [[Sim World]] - as it came in useful as a meet place previously. We all attend the meet, except for Fu who's keeping watch on the outside. During the meet we tell them the whole story, shoeing them vid footage of Clesio revealing all. We even give over a copy of the stolen file with the trojan removed that Slacker had worked on. [[Lee C Hu Wan]] agree to cancel the bounty hunters.

 We all meet up, and discuss what the hell might have happened. Slacker has copies of the stolen file, and we think that maybe there's something in there worth killing for, so he takes a closer look to see if he can find out. He discovers that there's something embedded in it. Some pay data perhaps, slightly more important than some cheap disposable electronics?
-In his mind, a jet black horse with flaming eyes and hooves rears at him. He avoids the first blow, but then rapidly gets trampled by the thing. Of course, all we see is a look of concentration, followed by Slacker dropping to the floor thrashing like a fish out of water with blood bursting from his eyes and ears. It's a novel look, but it suits him. His brother is fast off the mark, he knows he's getting [[I Ced]], and tries to stop it by the only way he knows, he stamps on his little brother's commlink until it fries, although by the look of it, it had already started melting down. That's some nasty black IC! Fu grabs Slacker and races him to a hospital, I guess it's nice working with family who care more about your life than if some paydata gets trampled. I can't believe JD was going to try and stop Fu smashing the commlink.. going for his gun even.. that's low!

 For the time being, that's Slacker and Fu sidelined, but there's still the 9am meet to decide on, and ultimately we agree that Eclipse will go in, JD will be there disguided, and Carerra, Danny and myself will be at different spots outside covering the place. [[Sammy Lee]] is a no-show. No surprise there! Eclipse leaves out the front, and as I was covering that side, I follow stealthily, deciding to see if she's picked up a tail. I don't notice anything, nor does Eclipse, not until it's too late that is. A Ork swings for her and knocks her down, half dazed. The crown has started screaming, runningin all directions at the first sign of violence, some of them get in the line of fire as I draw my gun. I take aim, wait for the right shot, and down goes the Ork in a loud bang.

 For some reason, I get drafted into [[Peoni Palace]] visiting with Eclipse. Still, it's been over a week since I was here last, and I hold a menu up in front of my face, no one'll recognise me, just another face in the crowd.
-I can't believe it, Eclipse knows [[Dan Dan Soong]], he comes right on over and starts chatting to her. Low profile time, reading the small print on the menu. I can't believe she consorts with the [[Black Chrysanthemums]], has she got no values? And damn the man, he recognises me and tries to make chit-chat. I try a few witty put downs, but he takes it for flirting or something, fool doesn't hear the distaste in my tone. Then again I guess I didn't expect to credit him with much intelligence.

 [[Ziyi Zhang]] comes over, and Eclipse asks her if she can get us a room with Tony next time he visits. Eclipse is a good talker, I'll giver her that, but she doesn't know when to stop, giving out way too much info, pretty much giving away the job. Still, Ziyi doesn't seem bothered, and says she has a girl who can help out, she'll get the voice print, and drug Tony for us - all for 500 nuyen - sweet! I like cheap subcontractors! Then right there, right when we're discussing him, Tony comes in, followed by Carrera and JD, and stays all night til 1am when he returns to his office. Keeping such odd hours will help us, no-one will question our copycat going in after hours.

 At 'chez Tony' they discover that it was a French accented man who lived there. At which point the name on the pen 'Clesio' is remembered. The doorman says he's had recent visitors looking for him, but he's gone. The visitors sound as if they resemble Hector and Paris - and they were there at a time ''after'' they were supposed to be dead. If they are alive.. then Priam must be too. It's looking more and more like a horrible set-up, and us trapped in the middle.

He keeps trying to chat me up, asking me out to dinner, the guy knows class when he sees it, but he's too dumb to see just how out-classed he is. Eclipse asks him about Tony, shows him a photo, and he says, "Clesio? Oh yeah, I know him!" and things drop into place a little more for us.

I correct him, and tlel him that ''Eclipse'' will owe him one.

JD and Carerra playing bad cop good cop, the guy folds like a cheap suit. He works for a bounty hunter, the Ork - whose name was Zim, hired by [[Lee Chu Wan]] electronics. They were tasked with hunting down Eclipse for sabotage.
 The details come out slowly, [[Lee Chu Wan]] electronics got hit early this morning by some black IC that fried their mainframe and left 5 people dead. In a small leap of logic we guess they got hit by the same thing as Slacker, and that they were the ones who ended up with this stolen file with the embedded trojan horse.

 The team are all about to accept the payment, but I try to slow Priam down, I'm waiting for Eclipse, where the hell has she gotten to? She finally turns up, in just the nick of time, breezing in and taking over the matter of payment. We all sit spellbound as she describes our skills, the requirements of the job, the way we'll go about it professinally, I have to look around the team just to make sure the scum haven't all been replaced with slick professionals from some trid show, but no, Slacker's still there, short legs not even reaching the floor as he perches on his chair and leans forward giving us all way too good a look at the spots covering his face.
-She must have impressed Priam, as he ups the payment to 35K total, with 7K upfront, and a 15K bonus. He then tells us that the way in that he's got involves a guy called [[Tony Lun Qin]], a programmer for Ascio. He designs [[O Ss]], he's new, young, well paid, and weak of morals. He often frequents the [[Peony Palace]] - where we could intercept him. I try to hide my wince at the mention of that place - since the last time I was there, I never wanted to go anywhere near it again.

I try to hide my wince at the mention of that place - since the last time I was there, I never wanted to go anywhere near it again.
 We take the job, thanking Priam, and then relocating to discuss the job. We head back to Kowloon, where Sammy has us join up with more team members. It's good to see [[Danny]] and [[Carerra]] again, especially the latter, she's useful! We discuss how the job's going to go down. We're taking the idea of disguising JD as Tony - he says he can do it, all we need to do is get voice and finger prints, and his commlink. Getting these however sparks heated debate. Slacker gets a freaky look on his face as he starts screaming how we need to kill Tony, or kill a hooker, but we should kill someone! I don't know who it was who mentioned the sheep and dodgy phots of it and Tony.. sounds like a Slacker sort of thing to me. I can see why he has no social skills, his brother Fu just sits there and lets him rant and spaz out - doesn't even try to sort him out.
-Eclipse sounds like she has some good ideas, but I don't get to hear them over everyone else's shouting, but finally we decide we'll follow Tony, then in a day or so when he's at the [[Peony Palace]], we'll have someone drug him, so he'll just be asleep as we get all it is that we need. In and out of Ascio before anyone knows better, hot knife through butter, easy peasy, cake walk.

 JD, Carerra and Danny pull Tony trailing duty - he's got himself a swanky car. While watching him, JD's taking lots of pictures, trying to learn mannerisms and attitude - seems like a man who knows his stuff when it comes to disguise and infiltration.

 The little spotty creature spends positively ages staring at the commlink, with that look of concentration on his face that said he was either constipated, or trying to hack the thing. It seems to take him longer than even he thought it would, stopping half way as if about to give up completly, then stimming himself and starting over. But finally he gets in and hands it over to JD saying it's ready to use. JD notices that Tony has some headware memory, while he's scanning him, and Slacker takes a look to find that it's all well and truly wiped clean.
