Mr. Johnson returned his attention to the sake long enough to take a sip before the questions began again. The first was the easiest and most suprising. [b/]"Of course you may Marlowe-san."[/b] he responded to the well dressed lawyer, before turning to his largest companion and nodding toward him. From a pocket in his suit, he withdrew a small, traditional sake cup, shallow and made of some black clay with green flakes. The large man filled the cup about a third of the way, then did the same, only two thirds, to the second cup before his leader. [b/]"Please enjoy, its a fine sake from my home near Kyoto."[/b] he said, passing the smaller glass to the lawyer. he then began answering the real questions.
[b/]"I can only promise the facilities in this club. The backrooms have several areas with technology to help you plan. Unfortunately, my employer has few resources in Seattle then he would like."[/b] he answered Charlie as they each took a sip of the sake.
[b/]"I hope you would have the job done within the week Roberts-san. Understand however that depending on how subtle you are at acquiring the data, you may only have hours to accomplish the third objective = they are sure to move high priority figures to safe houses quickly."[/b] he answered the dread pirate.
He then began answering Sebastian's questions. It was only because of this that he missed Edges pass at his presumable bodyguard. As the words were said, she smiled at the young runner, flaunting her "assets" slightly more in his direction in response. [b/]"I appreciate the offer Edge-san..."[/b] the woman started to say. Edge believed it going his way until her next words were spoken. She moved closer to him, startling him slightly and finished [b/]"... but I believe my father would not appreciate it as much."[/b] the movement of her eyes indicated Mr. Johnson, and Edge suddenly knew fear unlike any other.
Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson continued his game of twenty questions. [b/]"You are very inquisitive for an assassin Shade Walker-san. To answer the first, the man who built the archive facility before NeoNET purchased the company prided himself on his data security. He spared no expense on the latest security devices. In terms of active security, expect many drones, piloted by program, and several guards on the outside. The inside of the facility has two sections. the first are a number of office areas for meetings. To reach this, you must pass through a security station at the main lobby. They will be checking for SIN's and access codes. To enter the data access terminal, you must pass further scrutiny. Several passive securities prevent access including a retinal scanner, DNA scanner, voice print with daily password, finger-print scanner and a biometric scan. Access to both sections is blocked on the astral plane via a magical lodge effect. While this will not prevent physical entry, it has prevented several watcher spirits from entering as well as some of my employers best mages.
In regards to the second, the man became a target do to a rather... unique discovery he made. I cannot say further until all have either accepted or declined my offer.
In reagrds to the third, He is not particularly vulnerable, and Novatech Seattle keeps him under close watch. Even my employer does not know his current whereabouts in the Novatech compound. The best chance to reach the target is first to find where he is and wait for the the company to move him. NeoNET will realize the facility has been compromised at some point, and try to move the man. during that time, he will be under heavy guard, but will be in the open.
As to why I brought you into the fold as it were, It is because you are a master assassin and I expect capturing him to be impossible. It would be preferable to capture him of course, but it simply seems infeasible."[/b] he finished, taking a moment to finish his sake after the long speach
