(taps forehead) can't steal what already belongs to you [Midweek 3]

[okanetendo]

I don't know what you did or how you did it, you have to teach us that trick

But it's probably a good thing you did because hooboy is Erebus dirty



Okay backing up. Nabiki Tendou here... or Faith Maxwell. Or the Operator. I infiltrated as an office lady with ambitions of selling out The Company, like you do when The Company has a glass ceiling... until whatever stupid brain trick Naoki pulled got my head out of her ass.

Anyway if you heard from an Operator, that was her trying to set up a black market. For cheaper than the Company.

In the course of her social engineering for salable secrets she found some memos indicating something interesting. A good... wanna say dozen... of the cows were intended to be charity. Sent to Piratetown.

...RR. I meant Ridge Rock. It's Piratetown on the CB radio.

There's no way Faith or her career at least is gonna survive pointing this out unless she - we - make Erebus' blatant theft go public in a big, big way. And it'll help Piratetown survive stealing them back.

I think Sheriff Stick Up Her Ass is hidebound enough to be a Key to this little Lock. Give her evidence and let her make the biggest bust in Martian history. Given enough protection.

So. What are our options?

If we can let the locals know the situation, that should be able to get things started.

Especially if you can get evidence that we can share.

[okanetendo]

Sharing this evidence is fast becoming her big concern. As well as not being discovered as the leaker.

You provide the Internet drop-box, she’ll give the paydata. May as well pay Faith for it and help protect her after we’re gone, too.

[triggerhappytraitor]

I can provide an untraceable, invisible, nearly undetectable pick up of anything physical, if she has it.

Or arrange for a pair of armored heroes to very viably break and enter.

[okanetendo]

...Ooh, are you that mysterious armored fella wandering around outside the domes?

I’ve always wanted to be kidnapped; why should Akane have all the fun? Gives Faith a good sob story afterwards, she can live off the insurance.

I can imagine my lines now. “You don’t understand, they had battlesuits and guns, I had no choice!”

[triggerhappytraitor]

The centaur said armored Rider was with. But I have my own armor as well.

[[And while he knows he's not so good at acting... he can follow Sento's lead well enough, he's pretty sure. ]]

[okanetendo]

Centaur.

Subtlety, thy name is Traveller.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Riders gotta be Riders~]]

It was for a distraction, so we were going for the opposite of subtle.

[okanetendo]

I wasn’t complaining - just imagine me rolling my eyes.

Actually, you know what, maybe I can make it so you don’t have to imagine too hard if you can teach me to think it at you.

what's up guys

[carbonatedscientist]

I'm up for a little bit of a performance, should it come to that.

[Hello, he's been mentioned.]

And it's all a matter of thinking very hard, I've found. Focusing on the image that's to be projected.

Oh hey~

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Ah, there you are]]

If you wouldn't mind. My acting skill... is limited.

[carbonatedscientist]

Whereas I've been hamming it up for the locals already.

I think I can handle it.

[okanetendo]

Looking forward to it. Always liked a little drama in my life.
