Truth of Consequences: Book 4; Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Get The Drop, Tie 'Em Up, Shoot 'Em Dead, Rawhide
GM: If you still want to do any clean up on the last op, feel free. Just getting us rolling for the next. 
You each end up getting a voice mail from Harvey at about eight in the morning. You hit play on the message and listen. "Hello team. I
have a BPN for you, but it's kinda sensitive. Please come to my office at 12pm and we'll discuss it there."

After the lunch the day before, Difference ended up going home taking triple the dosage on his sleeping medication and passed out for 16 hours. He
wakes up around 6:00 in the morning still groggy but enable to lay in bed any longer. He gets up and does his usual morning routine of exercises,
breakfast, shower. He will then waste the last hour or two before he needs to leave finishing up his most recent art journal. Once done, he will
head to Harvey's office.

OOC: So tempting to have Kaori think that Harvey's impotent... Ah... That joke is only funny once
At the Briefing Kaori seems tired and will avoid eyecontact with Flaky.
Despite her tiredness she still tries (VERY HARD) to be helpfull.
She does however seem slightly on alert the moment Flaky walks in the door.

Flaky leaves early, she hated to be late and it isn't happening to her again if she can help it. At the office she will whisper to Kaori: "I know, Difference knows too. You might think about how smart it is to keep these kinds of secret to your squad. I have some
idea why you did so, and I can understand, but I will not allow this to influence our performance. So if I may offer some advice: come clean. I will
personally nail anybody of the squad who misuses this information."

Kaori looks at Flaky for a few seconds. Flaky can almost see her one thought flushing the other away. No sound. Even the rain on Harveys window seems
to fade away for a second.
"Please don't do this... I don't want to do this..."
The almost whispering voice breaks the spell.
The sound of rain against the window emerges again.
Kaori then queitly starts to unbutton her shirt, turns her back to Flaky and let the shirt drop to the middle of her shoulders. She then lifts up her
hair and reveals a beautiful circular tattoo. The Tattoo is 5 cm in diameter. It resembles a red oriental coin covered a golden dragon holding a
orientan Glaive with a chain wrapped around it in it's claws.
When Kaori turns around again, her face is drenched with tears.
"Who told you?"
Her voice is almost not there.
Kaori's face will bear no sign of distress the second they get interupted by Harvey or the next person to walk in the door, even the tears seem
to have vaporised the second after they get interupted by...

"Nobody told - I've got eyes and I'm an investigator. But you are right to keep this under wraps: Dedrick might blab. But
do not try to hide two things, people who discover one thing will start digging to see if there is more. You're not human, so do not try to hide that
too. It is no shame: you might ask Difference what we agreed upon the first time we met."
OOC: edit to conform with the altered speech from Kaori.

Kaori's eyes widen. She seemed shocked and a little embaressed that she just revealed a whole new mystery for Flaky to unpuzzle.
"Oh that!?... But... You also pretend to be human...?"

"Oh sure, but not to the squad. 99% of those we encounter will be human and an investigator functions best if she fits
in."
OOC: Flaky did not show in any way that the tattoo was 'new', if anything she nodded slightly when she saw it.

"Exactly. I know I'm not worth as much and that humans and inferior species should be kept separated, but no one has to know... At
least not for now... I mean look at you. You were designed by them. You are at least is here by their wish... I am just a pale mockery, lucky enough
to look like them..."
Yup... This girl was definately not on the lucky side when it came to adoptive parents.
OOC: The tattoo relates to something else. I'll post it once I know how Flaky investigates it.

Flaky blinks as she tries to understand what Kaori is saying. She knows that she is nothing, because a Vev, being nothing, can become anything. Now
this ebon (?) who can do impossible things states she is less. Lots of things to think about and analyse.
"For now... oke. We work for SLA Industries and their measure of value is based on effectiveness, they are not interested
in race or background. Just remember, if history ever catches up, inform me: never allow it to become a liability."
OOC: about the tattoo, Flaky is going to talk to Difference for starters. But only after she has time, so that's probably going to be after the BPN.

Kaori sinks and nods.
"Thank you. I will do my best. Harvey is new Master."
OOC: OK. I'll post what I find likely that Difference already knows based on his background in Orienta when we comes to that part. Then we'll work
from there.

You all arrive at Harvey's office. It's a rather well appointed corner office in Central, and his office is on the eleventh floor. When you walk
in, you see a plush waiting room, walls adorned with numerous pictures. A cute, human secretary sits behind a simple desk, typing away at her Oyster
when you walk in. "How can I help you," she say's in a cheerful voice. You inform her of your business and she nods and asks you to
sit down.

By 8 o'clock this morning Hog Boy hasn't slept an eyeful yet, as a result of partying it out with Dedrick. He is still under the effects of various
drugs and even now he is upping the dosage on his Rush level, just to clear his mind a bit.
Wherever Hog Boy awakens he says to himself regardless if there is anyone around.
"Goddammit, I was supposed to try to get rid of this stuff. When did I first shot up Rush last night?
What's this? A voice mail from Harvey... Better get a move on. Wouldn't wanna be late."
OOC: I'm lowering Hogsters creds by 50 to represent the partying costs.

Flaky looks prim and awake. She had a drink with Soul - whom she informed of Slye's demise - but did not stay late. She was smart enough to simulate
drinking the booze she was offered by the gang when she gave them the Jim&Bob bat.

When Kaori see's the state HB is in she quickly helps him to her chair and gives him a bottle of substance unknown to Hogboy (Called tea to those who
knows what it is).
The tea feels quite warm and sends a warm fuzzy feeling up his arm when Kaori put's the bottle in his hand.
He later discovers that the bruises on his knuckles have disappeared (Should he have had any).

*Dedrick eventually wakes up. He rubs his eyes and tries to focus on where he is. The events of the previous night start to come back to him, and he
starts to feel concern for HogBoy-who is nowhere to be found. Dedrick glances at his phone and notices that there was a message left for him at 9:00
this morning. After listening to it, he quickly looks at his watch-which reads 11:45. Fuck.. going to be late again. Dedrick double times it to
APPIE and mashes on the gas. If traffic is clear he can make it on time.. IF not, another toungue lashing from Flaky. Dedrick calls HogBoy to let
him know where he is and that he should be arriving shortly, he also makes sure HogBoy is ok. Very rarely has he seen a Human inject so many drugs in
such a short span. He had disapeared around 3 in the morning with 2 other individuals and shortly after Dedrick left the party as well.*
ooc: Dedrick drives extremly fast! Drive military of 5, he is trying to make it on time.

Difference swaggers into Harvey's office at 11:58. He nods to the others in the waiting room but keeps to himself as he sits down in one of the
chairs.

Misery walks in... if you could call it that. She seems to have a little bit of a limp and looks very tired. She silently finds a chair and sits
down. Her head reclines against the back of the wall and she closes her eyes. To those who are very perceptive (GM: Which is evidently EVERYONE,
except Dedrick, who's late) she has definite bruising around her right eye and still shows signs of a split lower lip.

Hog Boy gets a look of his surroundings. He is in an Uptown hotel. One of the better rooms. The two Orientan hookers look at Hog Boy with bafflement
in their eyes. One of them addressess Hog Boy:
"If this Harvey fellow is coming to party with us too, it will cost you extra..."
"No-no-no-no, Harvey is.... Well, never mind."
Hog Boy takes a swig from an open whiskey bottle, swishes the liquid inside his mouth and spits to the floor. He rummages around his jacket pockets,
grabs a handful of Unis and tosses them on the bed.
"Consider that as a tip."
Thinking to self: How did I get here? Must'v been a great party. Wonder where Ded' went.
Hogster rushes off to the lobby and asks, no, tells the receptionist to call him a taxi. When Hogster has gotten to the taxi, his phone rings.
"No Dedrick, I'm almost there. Come as fast as you can."
When Hogster has reached Harvey's office he tells everyone that Dedrick is coming soon. Everyone sees (and smells) that Hog Boy is under the influence
of more than three different intoxicating substances and is smirking irritably. Especially every time he looks at Kaori...

Flaky looks at the squad, as always amazed how they manage to not look like SLA Operatives advertisements. Misery looking like a down her
luck CK, Difference an unfinished statue, Kaori a servant, Hog Boy bright eyed - to much so and his sallow skin telling the true story of
exhaustion.
Only Gore looks like a mean-lean killing machine. Perhaps better for a Dante poster, but at least you took him serious.
Could it be worse?
Then she heard a muffled clang in the distance as Dedrick came running out the elevator and was snagged by some of his equipment.
Yes it could.

"Wipe that dumbass smile off your face, Hog Boy and show some respect to the gracious lady for getting you some tea."
Difference then gets up and moves over to a chair next to Misery. He lays a hand on her arm and does a qucik healing calc.
"We need you strong today."
He then removes his hand and goes back to his quite brooding.
OOC: 2 hits healed, 2 FLUX spent. Also he would have fed his arm before going to bed the night before.
