Stayka's World of Darkness Stuff | Digital Web Campaign | Online Games Overview
Asmodai (Virtual Adepts) - played by Asmodai Jeanne Maurice (NWO barrabi) - played by Stayka Kevin Grey (NWO) - played by Stayka ST - Stayka
<ST> Well, there is still a side story to sort out...
<Asm0dai> Stayka, what is the plan? How long will it last and do you have a plot ready?
<ST> Asmo: I never have a plot ready and I never know how long it lasts *g* - We'll see :-)
<Asm0dai> Ooohkay :) Just as prep part... From all the stuff I nicked from the core a LOONG time ago
Kevin_Grey straightens his tie.
<Kevin_Grey> You see, my supervisor is obviously a Nephanda. I'd say we will just try to use the data we got and find someone to take action against Agent Maurice.
<Asm0dai> What do I know from the files about her, her work and her location of work?
<Kevin_Grey> Well, she is from the Construct in the Netherlands that we sort of took out. They will have moved from there to some temporary location now. So it might be tricky to get there, especially where some people might have some ...doubts on my allegiance right now. They will probably still be in the Amsterdam area, but we have to figure out where exactly. And I'm not sure they will necessarily believe the proof we present.
Kevin_Grey frowns.
<Asm0dai> (Okay, we are gonna say we are in the Spy's Demise talking)
<ST> (Spy's Demise sounds fine.)
<Kevin_Grey> Well. Somehow I'm a bit worried, I have to admit...
<Asm0dai> Hmmm... Kev... I would avoid the location of the Construct. There is other stuff.
Asm0dai grabs all the stuff about her.
<Asm0dai> Wait a bit...
Asm0dai tracks all usages of credit cards, appartment/hotel bookings, transport and similar stuff, using one of the Demise's secure lines.
<Asm0dai> (Computer + Int? I need to track her stuff.)
<ST> (Comp+Int as usual, diff 9. They hide their traces of course.)
Kevin_Grey looks at the tracers Asmo sets and it amazed. This guy definitely knows a lot more about the Union than a Virtual Adept should know.
Asm0dai types fast on the keyboard and code and file readings twirl fast through the stuff the techies usually use as cover trying to pinpoint her movings around.
<Asm0dai> (can I do Int + Tech Lore to make the diff lower?)
<ST> (Yup. Max 3, though, no matter how many sux ^_^)
Asm0dai rolled 7d10 dice and got: 6, 6, 6, 5, 1, 1, 4
<Asm0dai> (Cool, 1 suxx)
Asm0dai continues after going through them.
<Asm0dai> (Comp + Int)
Asm0dai rolled 9d10 dice and got: 4, 9, 2, 4, 5, 1, 3, 4, 5
<Asm0dai> (Question: Is ST-logger poised against me tonight?)
Asm0dai swears loudly...
Kevin_Grey looks at Asmodai
<Kevin_Grey> Any success?
<Asm0dai> No. I haven't managed to get into these. I will have to try something different.
<ST> (Well, at Marv's campaign, ST-Logger didn't like *me*)
<Kevin_Grey> Let me see. Maybe I can help you there. Agent Maurice was my supervisor for a while after all.
Asm0dai drops a mesage on the VA forum asking about Technocracy movements in Amsterdam.
<Asm0dai> Listen, you were NWO...
<Kevin_Grey> Yes.
<Asm0dai> Do you know any of her aliases or extradition/stealth methods?
<Kevin_Grey> Exactly that is what I am trying to tell you. She has been my supervisor for two years...
<Asm0dai> I'm listening...
<Kevin_Grey> I did collect data on her, of course. Every one tries to collect as much data on his colleagues as possible... You might try the following...
Kevin_Grey tells Asmodai some strategies of hers to create passwords from words that are connected to her.
Asm0dai looks up and waits for the stuff.
<Kevin_Grey> She doesn't use names of pets etc directly, but obfuscates them with some algorithms. It ...happend that I snatched one of those.
Asm0dai tries to extrapolate a pattern and use it with names of people bookign rooms and or hotels with names that come from those patterns.
<ST> (ok. Diff 8 again)
<Asm0dai> Hmm, I will see. It is possible she uses the same trick when signing in...
<Kevin_Grey> With a little luck, yes
<Asm0dai> (Comp or Math ?)
<ST> (Comp)
<Kevin_Grey> The custom to change passwords every 2 or 3 days has drawbacks, too, after all. One needs to figure out something one can remember even when it constantly changes.
<Asm0dai> Yes... but if she used the sme method to sign in we may get names...
<Kevin_Grey> Exactly.
Asm0dai rolled 9d10 dice and got: 1, 1, 2, 5, 9, 5, 10, 2, 7
<ST> (1 sux..)
Asm0dai takes a look at the results
<Asm0dai> Damn there seem to be a few...
<JoshtheAspie> (hmmm. so the difficulty was 7?)
<ST> (I decided to adjust the diff or we don't get anywhere.)
<Asm0dai> Not all of them can be her.
Asm0dai shows the list to Grey.
<Kevin_Grey> Let me see...
<Asm0dai> Does anyone of them ring a bell?
Kevin_Grey scans the list.
<Kevin_Grey> There!
Asm0dai takes a look.
<Kevin_Grey> I think this just sounds like her. Hannah Arkens.
Asm0dai takes the name and crosses it over with credit records and locations she was at.
<Kevin_Grey> You know, she has a faible for Jeanne d'Arc...
<Asm0dai> Gaah... She has a thing for martyrdom?
Kevin_Grey chuckles
<Kevin_Grey> I guess it was more because she was an important strong female character of French history. Her first name is Jeanne after all, too.
<Asm0dai> A strange archetype for a possible Nephandi...
<Kevin_Grey> Well, we found Celestial Chorus barrabi in our raids against RDs, too.
<Asm0dai> Yes I know...
<Kevin_Grey> So one can never know. I always thought she was a dedicated Union member.
<Asm0dai> Strange stuff. Anyway I need to finish this.
<Kevin_Grey> There was nothing that suggested otherwise until that time when she sort of "gave" me this bracelet.
Asm0dai tries to see if he can track her movements and track where she is staying. There is no way someone as high up as her would live on the grounds of a temp safe house.
<Asm0dai> Give... Such a nice word...
Kevin_Grey grimaces.
<Kevin_Grey> Well, she exposed me to its influence. I can only be glad that you freed me from it. I am still horrified at the idea it might have turned me to the Fallen Ones, too.
Kevin_Grey shudders at the thought
<Kevin_Grey> It seems to me that whole lifetimes have gone by in those few days now.
<Asm0dai> Don't think about it. It won't lead you to a good place.
<Kevin_Grey> Well....
Kevin_Grey looks somewhat uncomfortable
Asm0dai tries to acess the security systems of the hotel to get access to the cameras.
<Asm0dai> Listen, Kev, brooding won't help you or me.
Kevin_Grey sighs
<Kevin_Grey> True. Well, so how do you think we might go about it? We have the files here, but I'm sure she will say it is some setup.
<Asm0dai> I think we are to get into her place. You are to interrogate her, and I will support you. I can kill the security and eliminate any connection to her with her safe house
<Kevin_Grey> Well, this might work. And afterwards we eliminate her?
<Asm0dai> I am not sure. I think overwhelming evidence and a knocked out package would work better.
<Kevin_Grey> The problem is that we don't know how many other Agents have been contaminated by her by now. They might manage to free her if we let her live. - Well, and we can but hope that she doesn't have backup from the Fallen Ones. I wouldn't want to run into a Nephandi meeting.
<Asm0dai> That is why you will attack when she is not aware. You will inflitrate the location while she is in bed sleeping.
Kevin_Grey nods. He still doesn't looks very enthusiastic, though.
<Kevin_Grey> I just hope that AC won't try and figure out what we are up to. She'd jump in headfirst without thinking.
<Asm0dai> Yes. It is good that you dropped her. But the problem is that you will need to get your body back to Earth without too much questions from her.
Kevin_Grey nods again.
<Kevin_Grey> This will be a problem, I fear. She doesn't like to let me go away even for some seconds ^_^
<Asm0dai> Well, think of something. You are an NWO operative. If you don't know how to lie then noone does.
Kevin_Grey chuckles
<Asm0dai> Just watch it that she isn't with you. She is too reckless and may ruin an op like this.
<Kevin_Grey> I *could* simply hypnotize her, and she wouldn't stand a chance to block that. The problem is - I just *can't*.
<Asm0dai> Don't! That is not the thing you should do.
<Kevin_Grey> No.
<Asm0dai> Try weasling out...
<Kevin_Grey> I think I will just tell her I need to fetch some things from the Construct. Hopefully she'll have enough sense that she doesn't want to accompany me.
<Asm0dai> ...and make her worry about you getting into trouble? She will want to take the Meteor and fly shotgun for you.
Kevin_Grey sighs.
<Kevin_Grey> True.
<Asm0dai> ...and she realises that you are under suspicion.
<Kevin_Grey> My little spacegirl is somewhat headstrong there.
<Asm0dai> I'd never have guessed...
Kevin_Grey smiles. He really doesn't want her to get involved in such a dangerous enterprise.
<Asm0dai> Well, you need to use your charms and willies and get your ass to Amsterdam. When you are there, use a portable connection set and contact me through the Web. We can continue with the op from there.
<Kevin_Grey> Ah well. I think I will manage to sneak away. I'll just tell her I will buy her a present. She will be curious as hell, but that should convince her, and I will see to it that it isn't even a lie.
Kevin_Grey thinks it was a bit of a problem that AC managed to sense his emotions very well by now. And she'd be utterly suspicious if he would set up a mental block designed to shut her off.
<Asm0dai> In the meantime, I will get the blueprints and layouts.
Kevin_Grey nods.
<Asm0dai> You could even get her to drop you near Amsterdam and then extract you without using any mundane tech to travel.
<Kevin_Grey> I think I will tell Teora. She will agree to carry me there and she will not tell AC anything that might be too dangerous when I ask her nicely.
<Asm0dai> Your pick. I need to preapre the stuff. Contact me as soon as you are there. How fast can you be in Amsterdam?
<Kevin_Grey> Well, I guess if Teora helps me - in two or three hours.
<Asm0dai> Okay. Make it 48 hours. I need to prepare.
<Kevin_Grey> True. I have to find a secure room in some hotel, too.
<Asm0dai> Contact me in two days when you set up a place to stay, and try being inconspicous. I need to head and prepare...
<Kevin_Grey> I will. Be seeing you then
<Asm0dai> Yes.
Kevin_Grey logs off and wonders if he really will manage to deceive AC like this.
Asm0dai waits for Kev to leave, and as soon as he left, he starts using a ton of tricks and sets a small program that checks for replies on his question on the forum.
<ST> (Ok, what exactly did you ask - please help the non-eidetic ST ^_^)
Asm0dai gets the layout of Amsterdam, plans secure locations and tries to find to have all the data and locatiosn and setup of her rooms
<ST> (Okay, that should be manageable. That is not really classified information after all)
<Asm0dai> (Movements and locations of the Techies in Amsterdam... The place like that has quite a number of anarchists and VAs who know stuff and are willign to share :))
Asm0dai also gets the location of the security firm that protects the place and tries to get acess to the security setup and the cmaeras
<Asm0dai> (That protects where she is staying - not Techie security.)
<ST> (Okay, that is a bit less easy, but I think you will learn sufficient info to pinpoint their new location)
<ST> (Ok. Mundane stuff is not a problem ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (That is the only problem when rich and influnetial Techies stay in mundane locations... who knows about them can get to them :))
<ST> (Yup... Although they might have set up traps, too ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (That is why Forces, Prime and Correspondance do hell :))
<ST> (Yup, but on both sides ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (They couldn't have set up much anyway)
<ST> (Well, but you don't know what Maurice might have set up...)
<Asm0dai> Okay I grab as much data as I can...
<Asm0dai> then I see that there IS a symposium for some minor facet of Mathematics in the next few days in Amsterdam...
<ST> (You get a possible location for the temporary NWO construct)
<ST> (ok)
<Asm0dai> (is there something like that in Amsterdam ?)
<ST> (roll Arete for Entropy :-)
<Asm0dai> !dice 4
<ST> (Or didn't Asmo have some Entrropy?)
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 2, 7, 8, 6
<ST> (Yes, there is :-)
<Asm0dai> (actually I even intended to setup one :))
<ST> (It is something about Lorentz Attractors and Chaos Maths)
Asm0dai logs off and sets up his trip to Amsterdam for the convention. He takes the Occluded Eagle and Trinaries... Asm0dai packs like a proper professor looking a bit shaken and wears glasses and a sweater without sleeves.
Kevin_Grey managesd to convince AC that he didn't actually want to leave her alone, neither forever nor for a longer time... After quite some tragic looks of hers and consolation attempts of his, he did manage to convince her to drop him near Amsterdam, with a VR Rig even (but this was given to him by Teora without AC's knowledge.)
Asm0dai takes a number of books and notes, and a laptop that is completley mudnane and holds nothign smart... everythign special is ocluded...
<Asm0dai> (Where is the woman exactly ?)
<Asm0dai> (not nothign smart... only essays and Mathematics 4.5
<ST> (She is in an exclusive hotel, in the topmost suite
<ST> There is a helicoper start pad at the top of the building just close by
Kevin_Grey currently looks like a classical MiB again, black suit, mirrorshades and a briefcase which contains the VR Rig right now
Asm0dai books a room in it under the name of Harry Bottleneck, a executive for a two day trip
Asm0dai takes a Occluded holofield projector and programs it with the appearnec of this Mr.Bottleneck
Kevin_Grey checks his outfit in a shop window and the events of the last days feel somehow utterly strange and almost abstract to him
<Asm0dai> hwe actualy exists but will be stopped from being n Amsterdam for the few days...
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 7, 2, 2, 5
<Asm0dai> (heh perfect cover stories... :))
Asm0dai takes care of everything, and then the mild mannered, distraught Profeser Bew heads to Amsterdam for the symposium...
<Asm0dai> (of course letting the college lnow , and leaving his assitant takign care of the class for the two days...)
<ST> (THat's good ^_^ )
Kevin_Grey checks in a good hotel that is a bit away from the hotel his supervisor took as operations base
Kevin_Grey makes sure to secure the room he takes from intruders, before he unpacks the VR Rig
Asm0dai checks in in the hotel and reports to the symposium...
Asm0dai departs for the men's room during a lecture and waits for everyone to leave... as soon as it is done he leaves the place as a fattening, well dressed businsman with a brifcase
<Asm0dai> (small holoprojector)
<ST> (Practical :-) Forces 2 is your friend)
Asm0dai heads to the taxi, and after a shor rid leaves of in the red light district... after getting of there and the taxist leaving he heads to a subway and gets off near the cntere of amsterdam takigna Taxi to the hotel
Asm0dai checks in as Mr. Bottlneck and enters the palce tipping happiyl people and scanning hsi souroundings with a microscanners imbeded I nthe lens of his glasses
<Asm0dai> (i need to see if there are any techie tricks around the place...
<Asm0dai> )
<Asm0dai> me continues towards his room and looks around him takign note where the room of the woman was)
<ST> (Then roll, please)
<ST> (Forces/Corr scan?)
<Asm0dai> (Forces, Corr, Entropy)
<Asm0dai> (not entropy prime)
<ST> (ok)
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 5, 4, 7, 2
<Asm0dai> (3)
<ST> (3 sux... - Moment)
ST rolled 5d10 dice and got: 6, 4, 9, 9, 10
<ST> (Hm...)
<ST> (Ok, you don't sense any obvious traps of Magickal kind.
<Asm0dai> (not even a powered device ?)
Asm0dai heads on looking amused by himiself and wiping off his "sweat" with a hankerchif
Asm0dai goes into his room and tips the boy
<ST> (Well, you don't sense it. Now you could make an Intelligence roll ^_^ )
Asm0dai sits down and smiles...
<Asm0dai> (jsut int or with some attibute ?)
<ST> (Just Int, because I think you might find it obvious ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (and no awarness checks for prickles ? ;)))
<ST> Well, if you like you can do an additonal Perception and Awareness check
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 9, 10, 6, 7
<Asm0dai> (int)
<Asm0dai> (heh)
Asm0dai rolled 5d10 dice and got: 2, 10, 6, 7, 1
<Asm0dai> (awarness)
<ST> Okay, yopur Int says that no trap detected just means they have to be better hidden ^_^
<ST> And the Awareness roll lets sou feel somewhat uneasy, as if there is some field around that you can almost touch. I might even show up on the sscanerr if you find the proper frequency
Asm0dai sets his stuff, and puts his laptop to a table and starts writing a text
<Asm0dai> (grey's cue)
<Kevin_Grey> Kevin settles down in his room, after he secured it and got into the VR rig
<Kevin_Grey> He decided to meet with Asmo first as they agreed on
Kevin_Grey sits down in one of the secured rooms in the Demise that Asmodai set up
Asm0dai starts a procedure that sweeps the room for any sort of monitring...
<Asm0dai> (1 willpower, 1 quint)
<ST> (ok)
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 9, 9, 10, 6
<Asm0dai> 6 suxx :))
<JoshtheAspie> heh
<ST> Well, there might have been a monitoring device, but obviously you used a search+destroy proggy ^_^ )
<ST> (Now the room is definitely clean)
Asm0dai puts a small set of VR glasses on his head and connects to thee web using a cellphone whose SIm he bough 15 minutes ago and starts a rnadom cypher encryption on it...
<Asm0dai> (entropy protection)
<ST> (ok)
Asm0dai appears in the Web
Asm0dai heads to Grey...
Kevin_Grey sits in the secured room and looks worried...
Asm0dai sits down and starts a holofield...
<Asm0dai> Hi Grey...
<Kevin_Grey> ASmodai.
<Asm0dai> these are the blueprints...
<Asm0dai> there are some sort of protections at the place...
Kevin_Grey looks at the projection
<Asm0dai> I will need to termiante them...
<Kevin_Grey> I'm impressed
<Asm0dai> You will need to get in when we are sure she sleeps ad she is inside...
<Kevin_Grey> Hm.
<Asm0dai> with your Mind tehniques you will easily enter the place...
<Kevin_Grey> Well. She will certainly use detection and protection fields
<Kevin_Grey> This is actually standard procedure
<Asm0dai> when everyoen is asleep, a power outage in the part of the town will not be conspicous... espiecialyl if it lasts for only 23 minutes...
<Kevin_Grey> You just need to know which frequency they are keyed to to disrupt them
<Asm0dai> that is the window you will have...
<Kevin_Grey> 23 minues
<Kevin_Grey> This should be sufficient.
<Asm0dai> agter that they may start thinking somebody is doing something...
Kevin_Grey nods.
<Asm0dai> so after 23 minutes the electricity will be back, and all the devices will be reset
<Kevin_Grey> I will sneak in and then subdue her
<Asm0dai> yes...
<Asm0dai> will you take care of it in her room or try to remove her fro mthe location?
<Kevin_Grey> When I surprise her, I should be able to tear down her Mind shield before she is conscieus enough to resist properly
<Kevin_Grey> I think I shall remove her
Kevin_Grey puts his forhead in folds
<Kevin_Grey> Well. If I managed to get her into deep hypnosis, I could extract her and even let her tell possible guards that nothing is up
<Kevin_Grey> But if she senses me and is awake already, then this plan migh backfire grossly
Kevin_Grey looks a bit fatalistically
<Kevin_Grey> In the worst case I have to kill her, I guess
<Asm0dai> Where will you take her?
<Kevin_Grey> The only drawback is - if anyone does a temoral scan and sees me there, they will have me on all wanted lists right away
<Kevin_Grey> I wonder if I should tell AC after all. THe Meteor could hover above the hotel and we could take her on board
<Asm0dai> ... use a mask...
<Asm0dai> and if there are problems you can hide long enough for the Meteor to extract you...
<Asm0dai> jsut be carefull
<Asm0dai> inform Teora and give her a keyword to get you out
Kevin_Grey doesn't look absolutely happy
<Kevin_Grey> I wanted to keep AC out of this
Kevin_Grey nods.
<Asm0dai> Yes... but she can get you out if you mess up...
<Asm0dai> and that is why you should notify Teora...
<Kevin_Grey> Well, if I want to take Agent Maurice with me for interrogation, I don't have much choice but to call her
<Kevin_Grey> I don't think it would be a good idea to requisition a chopper
<Asm0dai> Whatever yo do do not take her to the MEteor...
<Asm0dai> if you are taking your boss knock her ut and take her to a motel or a palce in the Red light distirct
<Asm0dai> anythign else will be too conspicous
<Kevin_Grey> I hope it will work out
<Kevin_Grey> I would prefer to question her before I terminate her
<Asm0dai> okay...when you are there use a comm that workd on the A5679-3 frequency.,..
<Asm0dai> this is the encryptio nyou will be using...
Asm0dai gives him a smal ldisk
<Kevin_Grey> I want to know how far the Nephandi incursion reaches in the NWO
<Asm0dai> I will try to monitor the stuff and inform you...
Kevin_Grey takes it and dls it
<Asm0dai> In that case tie her up, use mind numbing drugs on her and start intergogation
<Asm0dai> and keep her of balance at all time...
<Asm0dai> use pain and mind attacks
<Kevin_Grey> Of course
<Kevin_Grey> I'm a bit annoyed that I never attended the interrogation courses
<Asm0dai> and don't forget to give her a lot of mind numbing or interrogation drugs
<Asm0dai> she won't be abel to fight you underthe influence of them
<Kevin_Grey> I hope so
<Asm0dai> I can lead you if you get into any problems...
<Asm0dai> jsut keep in contact and go armed and ready...
Asm0dai chekcs the time
Asm0dai cheks the hotle rgistry to see if she is in
Kevin_Grey realizes how little he learned so far. HIs mostly concentrated on computer sciences and less on the classical NWO fields of interest
<Kevin_Grey> He had
<Asm0dai> (how ironic... thinkoing how asmo go to computers
:))<Kevin_Grey> (^_^ )
<Asm0dai> Okay Kev...
Kevin_Grey looks to Asmo.
<Asm0dai> Preapare your extraction points and prepare your tools...
Kevin_Grey nods curtly
<Asm0dai> the power will be down around 2 in the mornign with enough time for you to go in...
<Asm0dai> all the electricity will be down as will the devices you use...
<Asm0dai> ... your colleagues use...
<Kevin_Grey> I will use mundane drugs then
<Asm0dai> they are preferable...
<Asm0dai> if she is under drugs she won't be able to do anything
<Kevin_Grey> Yes
<Asm0dai> Okay I want you to preapre for entry and be within getting in the place as soon as nightfall
<Asm0dai> When all the nights are dead you are to enter...
<Asm0dai> (lights)
Kevin_Grey nods
<Asm0dai> i'd suggest a room... or a roof... but avoid showing your face... use a mask, and a voice modulator
Kevin_Grey makes a mental list what to obtain until the action takes place
<Asm0dai> if possible put inside her the illusion that there is more of you interrogating her...
<Asm0dai> Okay I need to prepare...
<Kevin_Grey> So do I
<Asm0dai> you inform me if you are not ready on the frequency
<Asm0dai> we drop it at any sign of trouble we cannto handle...
<Asm0dai> I must go...
Kevin_Grey nods
Asm0dai dissapears
Kevin_Grey logs off, too, silently cursing that he couldn't simply requisition the things he needed
<Kevin_Grey> He was so used to just fill one and the other form and then get the devices he needed. Now he would have to improvise.
Asm0dai starts a passive hotel scan to see tho lovations and type of any surrveilance gear
Kevin_Grey uses the time to ponder where to get his gear
<Kevin_Grey> (Poor Kev thinks such an enterprise is more difficult than thought when he has to organise the stuff himself)
<Kevin_Grey> (He *could* ask AC, of course, but he still tries not to involve her in such a dangerous activity)
Kevin_Grey leaves the hotelroom and is annoyed that he can't simply change his icon here
<Kevin_Grey> He definitely spent too long in the DW in the last two years
Kevin_Grey decides to first get some wig and make-up utensils, even though he feels somewhat silly at the idea
Kevin_Grey also gets a comfortable sweat shirt and blue jeans as his black suit might be a bit too much of a give away when abducting Agent Maurice
Kevin_Grey looks for one of the public toilet houses that are frequent in the Netherlands and changes there, putting his other outfit into a duffelbag he also bought
<Kevin_Grey> As he used his Mind sphere to distract the sales personnel in the warehouses, they shouldn't remember him either.
Kevin_Grey checks himself in the tiny mirror and thinks that he really looks weird - he colored his teint darker and got stylish coloured sunglasses
<Kevin_Grey> This together with a short, black wig changed his appearance quite a bit
Asm0 boots up the computers and uses a few tricks to log into the Hotel camer a systems...
<Kevin_Grey> Now he just needed to find some drugs to transquilize the Supervisor, but being in Amsterdam, he fould it wasn't too difficult a task
<Kevin_Grey> found
Kevin_Grey entered a coffee shop and talked to the shopman
<Kevin_Grey> (1WP)
Kevin_Grey rolled 5d10 dice and got: 3, 1, 6, 6, 2
<Kevin_Grey> Ok. 2 sux
<Kevin_Grey> THe guy noded and "sold" Kev an adequate amount of some strong transquilizers
<Kevin_Grey> That he didn't get any money in exchange, he didn't notice. He was sure he made a good deal
<Asm0> (i'd recommend soem black market stuff... tranqs are not very good for interogation)
<Kevin_Grey> (Asmo: THat is to get her dazed to get her out of the room first)
<Kevin_Grey> (He will look form some Opiates, too... But in another shop ^_^ )
Asm0 preapres the whole layout of the place...
Asm0 puts a small device at the jumper box that will cause a blackout in the area (entropy/ Forces 2)
<ST> (ok)
<Asm0> (that is just the focus)
Kevin_Grey does leave the shop and looks around if he notices some dealer in the vicinity who is into the stronger stuff
<ST> (nod)
Kevin_Grey doesn't have to run around long, and some guy asks him "whether he needed 'something'"
Kevin_Grey looks at the guy, trying to feel his intent
<Kevin_Grey> (Mind 2/Empathy)
Kevin_Grey rolled 5d10 dice and got: 3, 2, 5, 1, 8
<Kevin_Grey> (1 sux)
<Kevin_Grey> Obviously the guy is no policeman undercover, but genuinely trying to sell
<ST> (For Josh: that's diff 5 - Highest Sphere = 2, coinc Effect +3 diff ==> 5)
<ST> (Asmo: Wanna play the dealer? :-)
<ST> (Or shall I just shorten this)
<Asm0> (shorten it)
Kevin_Grey haggles a bit with the guy, and gets and adequate amount of opiates, while the dealer doesn't get any money, but believes he got.
Kevin_Grey now goes to the hotel in whih his Supervisor set up shop
Asm0dai is lookign at the cmaeras waiting for everyone I nthe hotel to slee pand for the watch to fall
Kevin_Grey enters the hall of the hotel.
Kevin_Grey goes directly to the concierge
Kevin_Grey rolled 5d10 dice and got: 8, 10, 6, 5, 4
Asm0dai craclkes softly into Kev's earphones...
Kevin_Grey smiles at the woman, and she is sure that he is a VIP guest, too and thus passes him the key to the suite of Jeanne Maurice
<Asm0dai> Wait till noone is looking... around 2 AM you will strike...
<Kevin_Grey> (Mind 3 effect ^_^ - 4 sux)
Asm0dai chekcs the status of the target
Kevin_Grey subvocalizes an answer
<Kevin_Grey> Sure. I just got the replacement key...
<Asm0dai> Perfect...
<Asm0dai> I recommend you siing somewhere or hiding somehwere before she sleeps soundly..
<Kevin_Grey> This will help us greatly to enter quietly
<Asm0dai> Yes
Asm0dai chekcs the status of the target (for the 15th time)
<Kevin_Grey> Yeah. I will sit down in the restaurant a bit
<Kevin_Grey> I'm a VIP guest after all now
Kevin_Grey thinks he still looks utterly silly in this get up, but obviously they think he is some eccentric rich guy
Asm0dai chekcs the status of the target (for the 16th time)
Kevin_Grey eats some expensive hors d'oevres
Kevin_Grey thinks about his plan for the umphteenth time
Kevin_Grey tries to recall the floorplans in his mind
<Kevin_Grey> Before the restaurant closes for the night, Kev goes upstairs and checks the layout of the hoten IRL
<Kevin_Grey> He walks around the floor under the one where Jeanne Maurice was located
<Kevin_Grey> It seemed the plans Asmodai obtained were as recent as they could get
Kevin_Grey disappears in a staff toilet on the floor
Kevin_Grey checks for surveillance cams, and as it seems all clear in the stall, he takes out his X-5 and checks it through again
<Kevin_Grey> All set... Now he just needed to wait for the power failure
Asm0dai checks if thewoman isin her bedrom and are all the lights out and does she seem to be sleeping
<Kevin_Grey> (subvocalizing) I'm ready. The tranqs are in the syringe, the X-5 is loaded... How are things on your side?
<Asm0dai> Waiting for her to start sleeping...
<Kevin_Grey> Isn't she yet?
Asm0dai waits for her to sart breathign rythmically and then gives her 10 minutes before kikcing the lights
Kevin_Grey curses subvocally
<Asm0dai> (khm am I missing something or are you trying to make some point ?)
<Kevin_Grey> As the light go out, Kev reflexively puts his hands at his shades, before remembering that his mirrorshades are not the ones he word, and that the device wouldn't work now anyway
<Kevin_Grey> (I'm just typing...)
Kevin_Grey gets out of the room and recalls the floor plan, walking more or less blindly to the room where Jeanne Maurice was located
Asm0dai uses his own sahed to themraly scan what KEv is doign and to see if any gadgets are still live
<Asm0dai> (Forces 1 Prime 1)
Kevin_Grey uses his PSI powers to home in on her mind pattern. This is somewhat irregular and uncohesive
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 2, 1, 9, 8
<Asm0dai> (1 suxx)
<ST> (1 sux - you get an impulse of him. He isin front of Jeanne's suit
Kevin_Grey takes out the replacement key and carefully inserts it in the door
Kevin_Grey tries to open it very carefully
ST rolled 5d10 dice and got: 8, 8, 3, 10, 1
<ST> (Lucky - diff 9 for her to awake...)
Asm0dai deoccludes his Deset Eagle and puts it next to the table
Kevin_Grey appoaches the location of the MInd pattern
Asm0dai looks at the laptop running and tracks what Grey is doing...
Asm0dai leaves he countdown on his laptop to the point when the technocracy will move to investigate...
Kevin_Grey has the syringe in his hand and concentrates, using Mind to lull her deeper into sleep, into a kind of coma even
<Kevin_Grey> 1 wP
Kevin_Grey rolled 5d10 dice and got: 10, 1, 8, 4, 8
<Kevin_Grey> (3 sux)
<Kevin_Grey> As she is entranced that way, he touches her neck and feels for a pulse there
<Kevin_Grey> And he has it, he aims the syring at it, sticks it about 1 cm deep and injects the content
<Kevin_Grey> (DEx+Med)
<Kevin_Grey> (Diff 8...)
Kevin_Grey rolled 4d10 dice and got: 6, 7, 5, 10
<ST> (2 sux --> the tranq does indeed his the blood stream, and now Maurice is in a deep slumber, doubly induces by Mind 3 and mundane chemicals
Kevin_Grey looks at the woman and sighs
<Kevin_Grey> Now he had to get her out of here...
<Kevin_Grey> He wasn't strong enough to carry her over longer distances, so he had to find another way
<Asm0dai> Kev.. .are you any good with piloting?
<Kevin_Grey> Piloting? Ahm, sorry, no chance. I can drive a car, but that's it. Piloting is more the domain of my spacegirl, I guess.
<Asm0dai> 15 more mins, Kev. Hurry up!
<Kevin_Grey> Yeah. I try to figure out how to get her out of here...
<Asm0dai> Put her on your back and get out...
Kevin_Grey sighs
<Kevin_Grey> I'll try
<Kevin_Grey> (Strength 2, sorry ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (Gaah... This plan really has flaws. They come from the fact that Kev should be quite a bit more resourceful... Anyway with Str 2 you can drag/carry somone, though you will be winded.)
<Kevin_Grey> (Sorry, Kev is trained for the DW mainly. And for Technology usage. You blocked all Tech stuff right now, so you managed to catch him totally on the wrong leg. Normally he would have requisitioned backup for such a thing ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (Heh...)
Kevin_Grey puts her over his shoulder, and with great effort, he carries her out of the room. He curses the fact that the way down was long and full of stairs, and the lift was offline. Kevin carries Jeanne down the stairs with an effort. Unfortunately the suite was in the 23rd floor. He pants and thinks he should have called AC after all. She could have just taken him aboard the Meteor up there.
<Asm0dai> Come on... 12 minutes. Take her to the roof! There should be a lift service room. Cover it in sheets and you have the perfect interrogation chamber!
Kevin_Grey thinks if he should do something like this again, he should train weightlifting before. And he was on the way down as previously agreed upon. He would not climb up the stairs again!
<Asm0dai> (Kev's pick)
<ST> (He *definitely* won't climb up again ^_^ )
<Kevin_Grey> I'm on the way down now. We better take her into some sleazy hotel - there we have less to wrry about when interrogating her.
<Asm0dai> 11 minutes
Kevin_Grey tries to speed up, while staggering down the stairs.
<ST> (I just noticed he does have Athletics 2 - so he should manage somehow ^_^ )
Asm0dai packs everything up, continously tracking the stuff on the shades.
Kevin_Grey finally reaches the lobby with about 3 minutes to spare.
<Asm0dai> Are you out?
<Kevin_Grey> (pant, pant) Yes.
Kevin_Grey puts Jeanne down and tries to calm his breath for half a minute
<Asm0dai> Don't be breathing - be getting out. Two more minutes, and the lights are back...
<Kevin_Grey> (subvocalized) I think I'll call a taxi....
<Asm0dai> You will not call a taxi. There is a rented car behind the Hotel. Use it.
Kevin_Grey sighs.
<Kevin_Grey> (subvocalized) Okay, Asmodai...
Kevin_Grey carries Jeanne another some dozen meters around the hotel.
<Kevin_Grey> (subvocalized, sounding rather exhausted by now) Which of the cars?
<Asm0dai> Dark blue, Kia. The keys are taped behind the front left wheel.
<Kevin_Grey> Thanks. Good.
Kevin_Grey puts Jeanne down at the ground and feels for the keys. He takes them and opens the door and puts Jeanne on the seat next to the driver and belts her there. Then he gets behind the wheel and starts
<Asm0dai> As you start the car all the lights blink back...
Kevin_Grey breathes in relief, then he drives towards the red light district.
Asm0dai dresses himself nicely and occludes the gun and the briefcase. He goes down and reports to the front desk with his key. He smiles and says he will be back later, that he needs to get somethign to entertain him... He grins. Asm0dai leaves the hotel and grabs a taxi for the red lights district.
Kevin_Grey checks on Jeanne's level of unconsciousness, but her mind is still sufficiently clouded.
<Kevin_Grey> (com) Do you have a hotel in mind that I shall drive to?
Asm0dai gets off and enters a toilet... there he puts on a ski mask and shifts the hologram to move over it.
<Asm0dai> Try any of the hotels here. They don't ask questions.
<Kevin_Grey> Ok.
Kevin_Grey parks his car near one shabby "hotel". He unfastens the seatbelt and drags Jeanne out of the car. He lifts her onto his arms again and wonders if he'll manage to carry her another some metres.
<Asm0dai> Tell me the name, Kev...
Kevin_Grey tells him.
<Kevin_Grey> (Dunno how such establishements are called in Amsterdam)
Asm0dai enters the place and shows up near Kev, looking like a swarthy, middle aged man in a black suit.
<Asm0dai> Can I help you with her Ken, she seems to have drunk too much...
Kevin_Grey conentrates and tries to feel the emotions
Asm0dai smiles widely
Kevin_Grey smiles back.
<Kevin_Grey> That would be most appreciated, my friend. She just couldn't stop with the wines.
Asm0dai smiles
<Asm0dai> Ah well, we should give her some rest.
<Kevin_Grey> That's why I decided to stop here.
Asm0dai helps him get the woman there and drops her to the bed.
<Asm0dai> We should tie her up and make her as uncomfortbale as possible.
Kevin_Grey nods
Asm0dai seems to have a voice od a wizzend middle aged man... the voice seems to be completley different from the one Asmo had
<Kevin_Grey> (in the DW, you mean?)
<Asm0dai> (Yes... but this one is also not his real voice... Thank god for mission impossible making tricks like these coincidental
:))<Kevin_Grey> (Hehe)
Asm0dai takes off the bed sheets from the bed and removes any abjects fro mher point of view
<Asm0dai> Kev... take of her clothes... it will make her feel more vunerable...
Kevin_Grey did of course take along some stuff to tie the target - handcuffs and related stuff
Kevin_Grey nods
Asm0dai gets the lamp and puts it so it will shien in her face
Asm0dai leaves it off fro now...
Kevin_Grey doesn't think she would mind, though. Agent Maurice was quite a while a member of the NWO and knew all the tricks
Asm0dai uses the sheets to over the room... soo nthe room looks like a covered up white room whhitout any obvious objects and with no exits to be seen
<Asm0dai> (little things do help :)
Kevin_Grey pulls Jeanne out of her clothes and cuffs her to the bed
Asm0dai continues shrouding the room and then seems to take a suitcase out of nowhere...
Asm0dai takes a small device out of it and plants it below the bed...
Kevin_Grey takes out the things he organized before hand
<Asm0dai> (a mini microphone)
Kevin_Grey watches Asmo's actions from the corner of his eyes
Asm0dai takes out of the suitcase a set of scalpels and saws, grinnig evilyl and settign them on cupboard he moved from the bed and places them on the mneatly in a tin dish
Kevin_Grey raises and eyebrow
Asm0dai also seems to take out a piece of paper and a black maker...
<Asm0dai> he writes somethign with the black marker and then tears it into smaller pieces... then he puts them in his pocket
<Kevin_Grey> You seem to enjoy such kinds of ...interrogation?
Asm0dai just smiles grimly
Asm0dai takes out a small mirror from the suitcase and sets it to the place...
Kevin_Grey thought it might suffice to take her Mind apart with some finely targeted Mind Procedures
Asm0dai takes a post it from the suitcase and scribbels soemthign on it and puts the post it on the mirror turning it down
<Asm0dai> Kevin...
<Kevin_Grey> Yes?
<Asm0dai> I need you to listen to me very carefully...
<Asm0dai> I need you to break her defenses and make her feel totayl wrecked...
<Asm0dai> I am not proficeient with mental attacks...
<Kevin_Grey> This was my idea, yes
<Asm0dai> after she starts being disoriented and unfocused, just let me work...
<Asm0dai> I have soemthign special for thsi occasion...
<Kevin_Grey> As you wish. She is a Nephanda and doesn't merit any mercy
Asm0dai smirks at the comment lookign amused at Kev...
Asm0dai sets a few syringes fro mthe suitcase and takes soem sort of a small bottle with a little label on it and fills the syringes with it...
Kevin_Grey takes out the opiates and loads a syringe
Asm0dai places the syringes next to the scalpels
<Asm0dai> (Stayka I am going to do some realyl nasty Mojo, very soon, all the interrogation setup Kev will do will give me tiem to make it an extedned ritual and you will se a unique foucs as well but since I don't want to spoil it ;))
Kevin_Grey looks at the woman
<Kevin_Grey> She is maybe End 40es aor beginning 50es
Asm0dai takes a sheet and ties her head so that she cannot move her head or see anythign that is not directly in fron of her...
<Kevin_Grey> Her hair is died black, and her eyes are closed
<Asm0dai> (she cannot see her feet)
<ST> (ok)
Asm0dai steps back behind the toosl and opens the light making it stronger with a coincidental forces effect and standign as a shadow...
<Asm0dai> Begin when ready...
Kevin_Grey nods curtly
<Asm0dai> (she ca nsee onyl her breasts and her belly and a part of her legs... but not the feet)
<Kevin_Grey> (2 Quint, 1 WP - Mind 4 Effect to trash her shields and shatter her consciousness into unfocused bits that make it impossible for her to concentrate
Kevin_Grey rolled 5d10 dice and got: 10, 4, 10, 4, 1
<Asm0dai> (you also have a huge bonus since she is disoriented and she as preapred quite nastily)
<Kevin_Grey> 3 sux
Kevin_Grey puts on a mirthless smile
<Kevin_Grey> You can begin
<Asm0dai> I need you to wake her and start interrogating her... be the "nice" guy
<Kevin_Grey> She will not be able to focus on any effects for quite a while
Kevin_Grey nod
<Asm0dai> I need to step I nafter she gives her first efforts to fight without magic...
Kevin_Grey slaps her, until she stirrs
<Kevin_Grey> WAke up. You will answer my questions now
<Kevin_Grey> Who are you?
<ST> (I'll fetch another window, moment)
<ST> The woman moans Jeanne (hn323pa@d2-hrz.uni-duisburg.de) joined #agww.
Jeanne what?
<Jeanne> Where am I?
Jeanne tries to focus, but coherent thought slips away
<Kevin_Grey> What is your name?
<Kevin_Grey> Answer my question!
Kevin_Grey doesn't use any further MInd effects now
Jeanne tries to wiggle free, but feels that she is tied up
<Kevin_Grey> If you do not tell me your name, I might ask my colleague here to employ somewhat stronger means to convince you
<Kevin_Grey> So tell me your name
<Kevin_Grey> I don't want you to be hurt
Jeanne looks at his captor and is slightly panicky as she can't focus enough to activate her Spheres
<Asm0dai> ... your masters have left you... all you have is us... TALK...
Asm0dai stops talking the voice sounded menacing and evil
Jeanne hears "Masters", and suddenly a spark of defiance seems to appear in her brown eyes
<Jeanne> They will come and get you!
Asm0dai reamisn still I nthe backlight mocing a bit so the light falls to the tools he prepared
<Kevin_Grey> Why don't you want me to tell your name?
Kevin_Grey 's voice sounds deceptively honeysweet
<Jeanne> Because this is none of your business! Who are *you*?
Kevin_Grey is amazed that she still can put up so much resistance
<Asm0dai> "I am Death, destroyer, ender of worlds"
Kevin_Grey wouldn't like to think what she might have don without her abilities being blocked by the Mind fracturing spell
<Asm0dai> Does that anwser your question, feeble one...
Jeanne 's eyes widen
<Jeanne> THis voice?
<Jeanne> You want to trick me!
<Jeanne> I won't tell anything
<Asm0dai> Oh we are not tricking you child... we are merely punishing you for beign a bad girl... and that is why we are going to play...
Jeanne tries to fight against the metal handcuffs
<Jeanne> Bloody weals appearwhere she tried to get out of them
Asm0dai comes closer he is wearing black shades through which ligth cannot pass and eyes cannot be seen... he has a scalpel in his hand and the other hand next to him grasped...
<Kevin_Grey> Please, don't be so stupid. If you tell me what I want to know, I will protect you from HIM
<Asm0dai> Ah well now... we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself... that is why we took you for us...
<Kevin_Grey> You haven't seen what he does to his captives
Asm0dai goes even closer to her left side
Jeanne still looks defiance at him
<ST> (How close is he?)
Asm0dai looks like a fat, balding man, hi brow is covered by sweat, hsi eyes are covered wit hthe blackest shades one over saw, and he is wearing a wicked grin
<Asm0dai> (3 or 4 steps)
Jeanne tries to spit at him
<Kevin_Grey> You do not really want to do this?
Kevin_Grey 's voice sounds virtually sad. d1ng0 (d1ng0@dingo.student.utwente.nl) joined #agww.
Asm0dai smiles and slaps har so hard she starts dizying and woozying in and out again fro mthe drugs...
<Asm0dai> Ah well... it is time to play...
<ST> (re)
Kevin_Grey looks at her
<Kevin_Grey> I'm so sorry this has to happen
Asm0dai takes the scalpel and seems to be doing somethign with her hand... she feels completely numb... he sniggers
Jeanne moans and arches against the ties
Asm0dai suddenly drops a pile of fingers and blood all over her stomach
<Asm0dai> They are dripping bloody...
Jeanne screams in shock
<Asm0dai> Don't move now... they look so nice here... now, let us see what we can do wit hthe 15 others...
<Jeanne> What the fuck
<Jeanne> I will get you for this
<Jeanne> My masters will get you
<Jeanne> You will wish never to have been born!
Asm0dai moves away... Kevin all you see on he tummy is a 3 papers with "FINGER" written o nthem and 2 paer with "blood" written on them
Kevin_Grey raises an eyebrow
<Asm0dai> Ah well my child... you have failed me... and now I will do with you as I please...
<Kevin_Grey> Whatever Asmodai did there seemed to be astonishingly effective
<Asm0dai> and do not move... I like them set there...
Jeanne still arches and tries to wiggle her hands out of the cuffs. Her skin there is split now and blood trickles down
<Asm0dai> (wait a second isn't she on a ton of tranqilisers ?)
<ST> (She has resist poisons)
<Asm0dai> (oh... her bad ;))
<Asm0dai> (go Kev)
<ST> (She was mainly dizzy because of the additional Mind effect)
Kevin_Grey sighs
<Kevin_Grey> I warned you.
<Kevin_Grey> Why couldn't you at least tell me your name?
Asm0dai subtly adds a drowziness and feelings of lonlyeness to her by lookign at her wtih perverse pelasuere nad lickign a piece of paper on whcih is written "blood"
<Kevin_Grey> I mean, what is the problem in that
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 5, 1, 6, 3
<Asm0dai> (1 suxx)
<Kevin_Grey> (nod)
Jeanne starts to feel more and more unconfortable, and doubt seeps within her
<Jeanne> Why weren't her masters here?
<Asm0dai> (did I hear that thougfht ?)
<ST> (Asmo how much Mind do you have?)
<Asm0dai> (3)
<ST> Then yes
<Asm0dai> (it is enoug hfor the stuff I am doing :))
<Asm0dai> ... but We are, little one... we are..
<ST> (Yup. Should suffice, especially with Kev 'Prep work'
<Jeanne> You?
<Jeanne> You trick me...
Jeanne sobs
Asm0dai simply smiles with a simple beatific smile of a devil
Kevin_Grey finds ASmo's acting truly impressive
<Asm0dai> (holofields with mind connections work wonders :))
<Jeanne> I will get you!
<Asm0dai> Tsk tsk tsk... what a fiesty one...
<Jeanne> (it doesn't sound really convincing though)
<Asm0dai> Ah well it is time for another treatment then...
<Kevin_Grey> PLease, I wanted to spare you that?
<Kevin_Grey> !
Kevin_Grey looks at her, with a sad smile
Asm0dai closes nerabye agin whackign her o nthe head using it as a focus to make her feel even more lost and alone
<Kevin_Grey> Now cooperate
<Kevin_Grey> Tell us what we want to know, and you will be feeling find right away
Asm0dai takes the scalpel and flicks it in his hand...
Jeanne sobs harder
<Asm0dai> ... or we will at least spare yo uthe rest of misery and degradation we planned for you...
Jeanne presses her lips together
<Jeanne> (It seems to be quite an effort, though)
Asm0dai smiles at this defience and goes for her face with the scalpel making her feel dizzy again...
Jeanne 's eye glaze slightly over
Asm0dai puts a mirror in fron of her after soemthign that felt like hours... or eternities... and in it she sees most of her face cut on the sides as if somebody was preparinf to remove the skin fro mher face...
Jeanne starts to scream
Asm0dai smiles evilly at her.. .while Kev onyl sees a mirror wit ha post it on it...
<Asm0dai> I may leave it liek this... the bloody circle is so nice...
Kevin_Grey thinks that the guys from Room 101 could certainly get some inspiration from Asmodai
Asm0dai steps back...
<Kevin_Grey> Please, don't force him to do that to you
Kevin_Grey looked pleadingly at her
Asm0dai licks another piece of paper with "blood writren on it and held in his palm
Jeanne looks in horror at the mirror, still feeling helplessly deprived of her powers
Jeanne wonders where her masters were... She called out for them, but no responce
<Jeanne> Was this the effect of this field that shattered her conscious mind to splinters whenever she tried to conentrate on her powers?
<Asm0dai> (actually shouldn't she be freakign out by now? she is convinced msot of her face is bleeding)
<Kevin_Grey> When you tell us now what we want to know I will tell him to stop
Kevin_Grey smiles at her , still that sad slint in his eyes
<Jeanne> (She is almost in shock at the moment)
<Jeanne> What... do... you... want to know?
Asm0dai plays with a syringe in his hands... it seems filled with soem gren liquid, and is fileld with soem sort of worms and rotting flesh... he happily squeezes a bit so the ait bullbes out
Asm0dai is smiling...
Jeanne seems to turn ashen white, almost as if she is short before breaking down altogether
<Asm0dai> (air...)
<Asm0dai> (now guess what is Kev seeing :))
<Kevin_Grey> So, tell me your name...
<Jeanne> J...
Jeanne still tries to fight, but she feels her resolve slipping away
<Jeanne> Why is there no one to help her?
<Jeanne> Jeanne
Kevin_Grey smiles at her.
<Kevin_Grey> Jeanne.
Asm0dai moves a little step towards her with the syringe in his hand a smile on his face...
<Kevin_Grey> Now was that so difficult?
Asm0dai stops when Kevin smiles... but hsi smile is still there...
<Kevin_Grey> Jeanne... And what is your surname?
<Kevin_Grey> Now tell me, the you will be son released
<Jeanne> M-maurice
<Kevin_Grey> Jeanne Maurice...
<Kevin_Grey> Now, who is your Master?
<Kevin_Grey> You can tell me
<Kevin_Grey> Remember, he refused to help you
<Kevin_Grey> Is it not a way to take a proper revenge when you tell me his name?
Jeanne tries to fight the cuffs again
<Jeanne> I... must ... not... tell
<Jeanne> He will kill me
Asm0dai takes another step...
<Kevin_Grey> Is that worse than what *he* will do to yoz?
<Asm0dai> ... and I wil ldo so muh more beutifull things to you...
Jeanne looks at Asmodai in utter horror
<Kevin_Grey> Now, come, Jeanne
<Kevin_Grey> Who is your Master?
<Asm0dai> ... he is an apprentice... a dabbler... and you are now mine... and you only have one way out
<Jeanne> Engyarlhanem
Jeanne sags in the ties
Jeanne squeezes her eyes shut, waiting for a death that might strike her anytime
<Kevin_Grey> So this entity gave you your commands?
<Jeanne> He will kill you for what you did to me
<Asm0dai> No... he will beg for mercy...
<Jeanne> And your deaths will be a thousand times more painful!
<Asm0dai> He is still a dabbler... young one...
<Asm0dai> and you need to learn your manners in front of your betters
Asm0dai takes two more hasty steps
<Kevin_Grey> Jeanne, don't deceive yourself
<Kevin_Grey> No one was here to save you
<Kevin_Grey> This master of you isn't interested in you at all
Jeanne feels another pang in her heart
<Jeanne> Why hasn't her Mastern shown up yet?
<Jeanne> Wasn't he all-powerful and knowledgable?
<Asm0dai> ... no he isn't... he is a child that went out to play... and forgot to ask his mummmy if he could...
<Asm0dai> that is why dady has been ravaging him to tears, and mummy has been worked up...
<Kevin_Grey> Jeanne. What did he ask you to do?
<Kevin_Grey> Please, tell me, then you want feel further pain...
<Jeanne> ... wanted me to find more followers
Jeanne has tears running down her face
<Asm0dai> ... you see, Abraxas... I told you she was stubborn... let me play more with that sagging mortal body...
Jeanne knows she is weak
<Jeanne> She will be puinished
<Jeanne> But whose punishment would be worse
<Asm0dai> (the master that is not here, or the mosnters that are here ?)
<Jeanne> (yup ^_^ )
<Kevin_Grey> How long to you serve this Master of yours
<Jeanne> 7 years
Kevin_Grey looks at her in quite some shock of his own n ow
<Kevin_Grey> She had served the DArk One all the time she was his Mentor?
Asm0dai takes it in stride...
<Asm0dai> Abraxas it seems the child has strayed earlier then mummy thought...
Kevin_Grey feels utterly betrayed by the Union as they didn't manage to weed out such foul menbers right away
<Asm0dai> I wil ltell daddy to give him more hurt
<Jeanne> No... please
Jeanne only whispers this
<Kevin_Grey> How many more serve your Master from your ...colleagues?
<Asm0dai> (actually now is the time to make her confess all she did in favour of her masters so we can get it freak her out and leave her as a package for Techies)
<Jeanne> There are 4...
Kevin_Grey 's eyes widen. four more??
<Kevin_Grey> All here in Amsterdam???
<Jeanne> yes.
<Kevin_Grey> Who?
Jeanne lost the strength to squirm and defy
Jeanne names 4 Technocrats from the former Amsterdam Construct
<Kevin_Grey> Do you know any more who work for your master? Anyone?`
<Jeanne> No
<Jeanne> We don't have too many contacts to other groups
<Jeanne> This would engdanger security
<Jeanne> PLease, let me go now
<Jeanne> I told you all
<Asm0dai> Oh no little one...
<Asm0dai> YOu still have not said all...
<Kevin_Grey> I think there are some more things that need to be addressed
<Asm0dai> ... and I yearn to see what he worm of Whurthaghught will do to your body...
<Jeanne> What else do you want me to tell
Jeanne sobs again
<Kevin_Grey> Which were you tasks given you by your master?
<Kevin_Grey> Speak!
<Asm0dai> (actually we made a nephandi cry... am I good or am I good :))
<ST> (Hey, the gal was pretty much mind-shattered...
<Jeanne> I should ...recruit the others in the Amsterdam Construct
<Asm0dai> (aah a mre tehnicality ;) yes I knwo Grey helped :))
<Jeanne> I wans to send them through the Cauls after some preparation.
<Kevin_Grey> Preparation?
<Kevin_Grey> What preparation?
Kevin_Grey frowns
<Kevin_Grey> Don't tell me... the bracelets?
<Jeanne> Yes
Kevin_Grey pales visibly
Kevin_Grey realizes how lucky he had been in the end
Asm0dai looks at Kevin and nods in a no way
<Jeanne> Now let me go
<Jeanne> Please
<Asm0dai> You are going nowhere little one untill we let you die... or we find mercy for you...
Jeanne sobs again
<Kevin_Grey> I would very much like to free her from her misery.
Asm0dai looks at Kev waitign to see if he is done...
Kevin_Grey draws his X-5 and examines it thoughtfully
<Asm0dai> ... ah... but we cannot do it like this...
Asm0dai comes closer with a sclapel and starts doing somethign with her face...
<Kevin_Grey> She is a Nephanda
Asm0dai holds between his two hands the scalpel and a piece of paper saying face skin...
<Asm0dai> Do you know what this is?
<Kevin_Grey> THe rules are clear. THey are not allowed to continue living
Asm0dai places the piece of paper at her breasts, and then shows hera mirror with a post it "face without skin"
<ST> (she sees her face being peeled off, I take?)
<Asm0dai> (this should be enough for her to freak out and collapse)
<Asm0dai> (of course :))
Jeanne screams
Jeanne continues screaming until her throat is sore
<Jeanne> A while ate she faints from shock and exhaustion
<Jeanne> later
Asm0dai nods to kev and puts down all the stuff, and takes all the papers away...
Asm0dai takes the handcuffs and crisscrosses them....
<Kevin_Grey> Now this was ...impressive
<Kevin_Grey> HOw did you do it?
<Asm0dai> Suggestion...
<Kevin_Grey> Ah.
<Asm0dai> People tend to beleve nathign they are expecting to see...
<Kevin_Grey> Yes, true
<Asm0dai> with drugs and mind attacks disorientign her it was easy to convine her I was hacking her apart...
<Asm0dai> ... she has betrayed you...
<Asm0dai> Are you going to kill her now, andleave the recording for your colleagues, or do you want to drop gher off somewhere...
<Asm0dai> ... I tdoubt she will ever be quite normal again... even for a nephandi...
<Kevin_Grey> Well, so w now should load her with even more drugs, tie her up, leave a copy of the confession and call in some Union agents?
<Kevin_Grey> Well. I fear she might free herself.
<Asm0dai> ... or you could kill her for what she did, and not risk her compratriots to fid her and the tape...
<Kevin_Grey> I shall relieve her of her misery and we leave a copy of the tape and call the NWO
<Asm0dai> ... it is your choice... she is your enemy... if she was mine I would have dealt with her
<Kevin_Grey> But only one of the non-contaminated Agents
<Asm0dai> Bu you cannot Stay...
Kevin_Grey take the X-5, puts on a sound absorber and executes her
<Asm0dai> It is your choice Kevin...
Kevin_Grey looks somewhat sick nonetheless
Asm0dai turns around and picks up the tols and puts them away...
<Asm0dai> is she the first one you killed?
Kevin_Grey quietly nods
Asm0dai takes the sheets and covers the minwards coverign her body...
<Asm0dai> Let us go...
Kevin_Grey follows Asmodai, still visibly shaken
<Asm0dai> And may I recommend you to talk with someoen other then me anout this, and get some seriosu drinks down your throat?
Asm0dai cloeses the doors and locks them leaving hsi leather gloves on...
<Kevin_Grey> Yes...
<JoshtheAspie> *waaatches while studding*
Asm0dai heads to the front desk and says that everything has been satisfactory, and that the woman who came alone will stay here for a while, to rest
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 9, 5, 2, 9
Kevin_Grey just wonders with hom he should talk... He didn't want to burden AC with that that
<Kevin_Grey> whom
Asm0dai smiles as the man repaeats that the woam who came here alonewill stay here alone to sleep...
<ST> (^_^ )
<Asm0dai> ... and then a man in a tenchocat with a black hat will go to visit her... he will leave soo nafter going to visit her...
Asm0dai rolled 4d10 dice and got: 8, 10, 9, 8
<ST> (heh)
Asm0dai grisn and turns around as the man repeats that the woman came alone and went to bed, and then a man ina a tenchocaot with a black hat visited her... he ledt soon afterwards...
Asm0dai levaes the place...
Kevin_Grey follows ASmo
<Asm0dai> ... Kevin... I will be taking some time off... I need a shoer after this and I need to attend to some stuff...
<Asm0dai> Do you think you can handle yourself, or doy ou want to go and get drunk?
<Kevin_Grey> Could you give me another copy of the confession?
Asm0dai hands him a minidisc
<Kevin_Grey> I'd like to enclose that with a short report.
<Asm0dai> ... the other one is in the room next to her body
<Kevin_Grey> THe Union needs to know this
<Kevin_Grey> THank you
<Asm0dai> ... they will know...
<Kevin_Grey> Why haven't they eliminated her?
<Asm0dai> ... they didin't know...
<Kevin_Grey> She can't have deceived *everybody*, can ye?
<Asm0dai> the technocracy has always been focused on the outside and never thought of the inside....
Kevin_Grey seems to be very disappointed
<Asm0dai> ... the technocracy simpyl got too overconfident... and it is costing them a lot...
<Kevin_Grey> But they are swonrn to hunt down and eleminate Nephandi
<Asm0dai> ... mind you... not that they had a bad idea generally...
<Kevin_Grey> They are the worst Reality DEviants?
<Asm0dai> ... but they are people Kev... and people are always ready to go for power and quick routes to success...
<Asm0dai> ...even if they start tryign to make the world a better place
Kevin_Grey appears like someone whose whole world seems to be slowly disintegrating
<JoshtheAspie> hmmmm
<Asm0dai> ... listen Kev...
<Asm0dai> you still have Acy... and most of the crew will back you up...
<Kevin_Grey> I believed they would do anything to protect humanity and the earth...
Kevin_Grey nods slowly
<Asm0dai> ... most of them would...
<Kevin_Grey> I guess you are right
Asm0dai takes Kev to a bar and gets him some whiskey...
Kevin_Grey drinks way too much
<Asm0dai> Here, drink this and focus on what you will feel in your throat... then think of the things she could have done if you had not stopped her now...
Kevin_Grey tries to forget what he did, how the Union was infested with RDs itself...
<ST> (I think this should be a nice end ^_^ )
<Asm0dai> (Yep... Though the part about Asmo leaving in the night would also ne ok, but this is Kev's story :))
<Asm0dai> (end ?)
<ST> (And Asmo rides valiantly into the sunset?)
<Asm0dai> (More probably he grabs a bottle of whiskey gets back int o himself and calls a escort girl to keep his mind of what he did most of the night. And then he leaves on a plane home :))
<ST> (end)
