Hey, network-fu types. Anyone around who can zap Madoka back to her senses?

Not just because she gave everyone blanket permission before the jaunt started, that too, but... she was absolutely info-fishing at me. We may need to know what she knows, if we're gonna get shit done.

What she did say so far was that Audio Outcast's frontman is 'oddly persuasive' and they have a track record of getting away with things they really shouldn't. If this were home I'd call Artifact, but it isn't. [So they need more information, but it's definitely a rabbit hole worth diving down.]

You said she's already given permission? [Armin is a little hesitant to use his more advanced psychic abilities on people, after everything that's happened, but if she specified beforehand, then it should be okay...] I can probably do it.

[Well, at least he learned something from all that.]

She specifically said, on the network, not to leave her infiltrating by any means necessary. I don't see much point in killing anyone over a concert of all things, especially now that there's a non-lethal option.

Ah. [There's a pause while Armin goes to confirm that she said this, and the context she said it in.]

...All right, then. I'll go and find her.

Cool. I ran into her at Malik's place.

Thanks. [Not that he needed directions, with psychic detection. But as a rule, he now doesn't point out his mental abilities unless he has to.]

I could do it if you point me at her, no problem.

Only one of us I've ever seen in a wheelchair, she's not hard to find. You might wanna make sure Armin didn't get to her first, though.

Oh, I'll keep an eye out. And I'm in the position where I could probably throw ten bucks at someone and have them find her for me.

I bumped into her at Malik's bar thing. Worst case, do a stakeout.

Wouldn't be out of line for my infiltration to go out and have a few drinks, either.

[Zed with virtually unrestricted access to alcohol, certain doom is upon everyone.]

Just don't get so drunk you can't take care of business, okay?

Don't worry about it; the Zed I've taken over does this sort of thing all the time--he's got quite the tolerance built up.

That's not nearly as comforting as you think it is.

It'll be fine! Relax!

Still not reassured.

Are they an Infiltrator? We can look into their background either way, as much as the rudimentary networks here will allow, but it's more likely to be a dead end if they're not.

The band? Most likely. Research may not explain how they're getting away with it, though, outside of the kinds of databases that look for that sort of thing.

[Damn does she miss the Warehouse right about now.]

But it might tell us if it's a recent development, or one that can be attributed to wealth and celebrity.

That it might, especially if direct interviews lead to 'I'm not acting weird what are you talking about.'

Hopefully without any violent outbursts to go along with the denial.

Hopefully.

[Personally, that's what Claudia has a Tesla for, but not everyone does.]

It's Phillip.

[Not that she uses Psychic Detection to immediately stalk him or anything]

[There are worse plans.]

...Of course it is.

I'm probably going to get mistaken for a groupie.

Again.

There are worse things to be mistaken for, I guess.

If you can get a bead on what exactly he's getting away with, or how, let us know?

People expect it from girls my age, I think.

I'll see what I can find out. Maybe be flattering.

Can't hurt to try. Good luck.

That runs in the family at least.

ANd hey, most of his overlays think I'm pretty.
