----> Message #53 on Board Shadowland General SIG <----
Posted By: The Doctor
Date/Time: Sun Jun 27 21:27:58 2010
Subject: Dr.'s Report
-A local Trid broadcast is interrupted, causing many viewers to complain about service issues during their favorite prime time Sit-Com.-
-00:00:30
Centered in the screen is a Caduceus, the picture flickers and snows, while a voice speaks.
"This is a Doctor's Report. This report will last twenty-five more seconds. These indivuals seen here," a freeze from of Jace and Viktor replaces the
Caduceus for about two seconds, "to my knowledge didn't appear at the show. Friends say they were inserted, easy enough to do now a days. I have taken blood samples and performed services to help render them untraceable by Ares. They are currently, as of this broadcast, sig-null. If this is to remain that way, they will need more assistance. The question of fees can be handled through channels. This had been the Doctor's Report."
Just as the little timer runs out in the top left of the screen. The picture is replaced by a 'test palate' with the words, We are experiencing
techniquenal difficulties, we will return to your regularly scheduled program shortly.
(OOC: Direct any legwork, or questions to Hardy as this is part of his on going plot.)
«Plot» Thog thinks you misunderstood, "The Doctor took blood samples and performed services. He admitted as much. However to help verify that you'd need to get in touch w/ him, thus a back trace of some sort."
«OOC» Johnny hrsm. Let me reread.
Johnny hrms.
Johnny says "It doesn't make a lot of sense. Of course, now Ares is on the trail again. Likely already hacking this."
Johnny says "Well, if they arn't in danger, I'll just catch it on On-Demand."
Johnny shrugs
Johnny says "Runners being held hostage (As I misunderstood) is one thing, but runners on the run? Let em run."
«OOC» Johnny has -no- idea the rest of the scope of this, os sure, lets start with a basic info search
«OOC» Johnny says, "Gathering some data. Give…"
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) has the Contact Dr. Howard with the following information:
-----> Contact for Johnny (#799) <-----
Contact Name: Dr. Howard
Level: 2
Type: mafia doc
GM Note: Member of the clinical team Howard Fyne and Howard. All three doctors work for the Mafia in certain ways when not attending to their usual
customers. Dr. Morton Howard runs the darker side of the HFH clinic accepting patients in the back door and turning them into unwitting organ donors.
Johnny gives him a call. Maybe he knows something
The phone rings, "Hello, and this better be someone I like," Dr Howard sounds annoyed at having his evening interrupted for anything but biz or
people he knows.
«Plot» Thog figured a call that would use appropriate security given LS's increased interest in things.
"You like me, you love me. Morty, its Johnny. Look, I know you're busy, but some asshole just interupted AS THE WORLD AWAKENS and I was just about to learn if Joey and Sarah were going to get together or if Sarah was going to follow her elven roots and Join the Tir Paladins. Now, I'm curious if you know what all this is about, because I missed the critical moment, and since technology such as rewind and On-Demand are far too complex for me, I'm thinking of putting my size twelve boot in someones ass."
Morty pauses for a moment, "I wish I knew what exactly you were talking about, Johnny. Perhaps you could fill me in on what this person said, as I
don't watch As The World Awakens." If this connection had the video enabled you'd see him shake his head, but it doesn't.
"Hold on a moment. I suddenly remember how to operate rewind. Listen in."
Johnny replays the audio componant of the message.

«OOC» Johnny grins
"Well, as far as the blood goes makes sense. Could be a couple of things there, harmless radioactive tagging, chemicals, or even nanites. The other
part, well that sounds like a bug of some kind, perhaps a short range transmitter with Matrix enabling codes, I'm not sure exactly what or how such a device
would be given to a subject."
Johnny says "No idea any greater context, mm? I figured it was a long shot, but thanks.""
"Without the blood, or the device I'm afraid I can't help beyond speculation," Dr Howard does sound apologetic.
"Thanks Morty. I'll swing by later and drop off a bottle of bourbon for you. I appreciate the time."
His tone brightens, "That's very thoughtful, you're welcome," with that the connection is terminated.
Johnny says "Okay."
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) has the Contact Gary Grey with the following information:
-----> Contact for Johnny (#799) <-----
Contact Name: Gary Grey
Level: 1
Type: ke supplier
GM Note: Gained in a plot ran by Dib
«OOC» Johnny says, "He's a middle man, who works distribution and logistics for Ares, sliding equipment to runners on the side."
«Plot» Thog says, "Ok."
"Witchita Distribution, Gary speaking," the familiar voice says over the com-line. This time the vid is on, showing the middle-age supply shuffler.
Johnny doesn't show his face right now, simple voice transmission. Gary knows him as Samuel Clemens, a middle aged intelligence analyst. "Gary, is Samuel."
Says Johnny then, leaning back. "I hate to bother you so late, but I was wondering if you could help me on something here."
Gary's face hardens a bit, "Well, I haven't heard from you in a bit, what do you need this time," greed coloring his tone of voice, "As for the late
bother, well depends on the yen, eh?"
Johnny rolls his eyes, but keeps his voice steely. "Depends on what you can supply. I'm forwarding a 29 second clip from a transmission in Denver that I've
had handed to me by a superior. I need to find some intel on this on the doubletime, you know what its like back here in the service of god and nation. That
said, I've got a disbursment potential of five hundred if you have a tip or actionable intel."
"Alright, shoot here," he provides an anonymous trix address, "though to tell you the truth I'm not an image weenie."
"But you may know context or have information. COme on, Gary, don't downsell yourself."
Johnny transmits the data, bouncing it off a satillite before sending it to Kansas.
"Hold on," he looks away from the vid-pickup to presumably another display, "alright, he's kinda vague but I did hear something that was just hitting
production for LS, not my usual bunch you know. Anyways, it's base of self-sustaining nanites, usually it's injected then build itself from components in the
blood stream, nasty piece of work too, it's rumored to have a self-preservation routine."

Johnny nods as he glances to his library, one hand moving to trace over the volumes, then pull the right chip. One hand slots it under the hairline at the
back of his neck… "Yes… I remember something about this."

«Plot» Thog says, "This actual borderlines the accepted ethical and legal conventions against unsupported, unlimited self-reproduction that govern
nanotech. Usually nanites remain as such, doing what is programmed microscale, the construction of a larger device works, but usually is done in a hospital
setup with the appropriate shutdown codes so as to prevent proliferation or the theorized Carbon Plague."
«OOC» Johnny says, "Okay."
«OOC» Johnny says, "So if I read this right, the 'doctor' interupted television broadcasts to tell people he temporarilly deactivated them somehow?"
«Plot» Thog says, "Currently no known corps are researching in this direction, at least vocally. Correct. Either by removal of the final device, or
constant jamming."
«OOC» Johnny nods. Lets call someone who would know more.
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) has the Contact Sally Devries with the following information:

Unfortunately the current political environment in the country prevents a centralized CIA operation but Sally is the closest thing to an operations manager
that they have. Sally is a lifetime bureeaucrat and paper-pusher but has a keen mind and quick reflexes and is an expert decker and Matrix operations expert.
Johnny grunts. "Alright Gary…"
Johnny says "I will disburse the five. You've given me a solid lead. Thank you."
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) spends 500 nuyen for "To Gary Gray for services Rendered.".
"Your yen spends all the same, thanks," Gary says, but doesn't cut the connection in case the customer has more nuyen to spend.

=========================> GM Note On Johnny (#799) <==========================
Date: Wed Oct 29 15:56:35 2008
Posted By: Death (#2722)
Subject: Lazarus Effect
------> Text of GM Note <-----—-
Samuel, as a reward for a contract, has been genetically modified to gain the immortality effects of the Lazarus Effect. While this has no practical effect
on the game, with no extra healing, stats or traits, it does mean that he will not age, and maintains the appearance of a healthy, fit, 30 year old.
«Plot» Thog says, "Kool. So, does Sally know that Johnny is daddy? Also, does she know about this Lazarus Effect?"
«OOC» Johnny says, "Yes/no."
«OOC» Johnny says, "The backstory there is that JOhnny destroyed the program after he found it, turned the files over to the Draco Foundation"
«OOC» Johnny says, "They used it on him and retain its secrets."
«OOC» Johnny says, "Johnny is probably their top agent."
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) has the Knowledge Skill Draco Foundation Familiarity with the value '3 (4)'.
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) has the Contact The Draco Foundation with the following information:

GM Note: The Draco Foundation is set up to administer the will of the late President Dunkelzahn. A private not-for-profit group - it has unprecedented
resources at its disposal.
«OOC» Johnny says, "I know. Lot of stupid wierdness for me calling a contat, right?;)"
«OOC» Johnny figured you if anyone, could appreciate backstory.
«Plot» Thog says, "It is. I do appreciate the backstory, do you want a twist thrown or status quo? Also, how long has it been since you and Sally talked?"
«OOC» Johnny says, "I don't mind a twist, and probably 3 months."
«Plot» Thog says, "If you'd pose first, plz include flavor stuff like emotions or thoughts about the person you're calling."
«OOC» Johnny nods.
Sometimes, you find the random bits of thread that lead, when you pull them, to a hair that seems to snake its way up your ass and wrap around your colon.
This is one of those times. A simple inquiry in to why his show was interupted, leads to a possible blackworks nanoproject that would be very bad if it hits
the streets. Johnny thinks over the ramifications and then jacks in to his deck. Rezzing in to existance in the SatNet RTG he uses, He shifts form in to
Trenchcoat, a trenchcoat(Go figure), white gloves and a fedora. And nothing inside them. Sort of a TS Elliot Joke.
He starts for, with the speed of thought and electron, the Redding RGT that handles most of northern California's matrix service. Thats where he'll find
Sally. It's been 3-ish years since Johnny was a UCAS Marine stationed at the Atlanta UCAS Embassy, where Sally was an intel clerk on Internship. Their lives
were never intwined in any directly serious fashion, but she did forward his file to William Brewer, for examination as a field asset. She's probably the
person he's known the longest, and the only person who is consistant throughout the strains of memory that tangle his mind prior to 10 years ago. It's
comforting, yet also discomforting in its own way.
«OOC» Johnny says, "Backstory on THAT."
My grand father used to read to me, back in Portland.
I was a young boy, maybe 4. This was before the big blow and he loved to read to me. Every night, in my room while my dad was at work and my mother got some sleep. He used to read to me about pinnochio, the little puppet boy who wanted to be human. I loved the story and he'd read it from cover to cover over the course of a week. He loved the time and I'd drift off to sleep as a child, with that story in my mind.
My father used to beat me, back in Corpus Christi. I was nine, and my mother had died the previous year from VITAS. He blamed me, because I got sick before she did, but I lived. He would get drunk, which really amounted to him having a beer so he could feel like he wasn't really in control, and then he'd find
something I did 'wrong' to take exception too. If I spoke, I sassed him. If I remained silent, I was ignoring him. He beat me until I was bloody, until I
screamed, until I made him feel powerful. When I was 12, I stopped screaming. I stopped making noise. I think that made him angrier, but it was my power, and all I had.
When I was 15, I lost my virginity to Olga, in the back of an abandoned van on the outskirts of Moscow. When I was 16, I lost my virginity to a New Orleans
prostitute. When I was 18, I lost my virginity to a fellow refugee who relocated to upstate New York with me and my family. When I was 12, I was sodomized by a go-gang outside of Chicago and still am a virgin, unable to get an erection.
I was 18 when I killed my first man, in the shadows of Saint Petersburg, working for the Vory. When I was on deployment for the CAS Marine Corps, I had to
kill an Azzie at the age of 17. When I was 32, working for the CIA, I blew up a bus of civilians in Essen to kill one man.
Lets go back to my grandfather. My grandfather would read to me, back in Portland. This is a real memory, something I hold to my core. But unfortunately, so are all those other things I said. Each of them are real, visceral and truthful.
I feel a lot like pinnochio, trying desperately to be a real boy, the sort of man I need to be. But Pinnochio had the love and support of Gepetto, who really
thought Pinnochio was a good and honest child, who moved mountains to come rescue his boy.
I'm 56 years old, but I only have a clear narrative of life, uncluttered by conflicting memories, for 14 of those years. Before that, I have so many mnemonic
overlays it makes it impossible to determine who -I- am.
I hold the handle of the sword that is identity and I do my best to forge going forward, who I want to be, and reinforce it with action. THe further I get
away from Zeropoint, the stronger that identity is.
I am left with doubts though, constant and nagging. I chose the Samuel Thayer thread of memories to be paramount, to hold as the primary, but it gets harder and harder as I move farther away, to keep them distinct. It's why I work so hard to identify with the now and the future. The past is dangerous.
«OOC» Johnny says, "From his personal journal"
«OOC» Thog nods, "Gimme a few to read."
«OOC» Johnny says, "In short, Johny was a deep cover CIA operative. He was a prototype if you will for Psychotropic conditioning to overcome mind and brain scans. Each major mission was a new mnemonic overlay and identity, and for the duration of the mission, he -was- that person."
«OOC» Johnny says, "Only the brain isn't optical memory."
«OOC» Thog says, "Sweet. I like that, definitely a different back story."
Inject the nanites, in situ then they 'build' the device w/o aid of nanite factory or larger supply of nites. Essentially 'toeing' the line of conventially
accepted theory and use.'.
Sometimes, you find the random bits of thread that lead, when you pull them, to a hair that seems to snake its way up your ass and wrap around your colon.
This is one of those times. A simple inquiry in to why his show was interrupted, leads to a possible blackworks nanoproject that would be very bad if it hits
the streets. Johnny thinks over the ramifications and then jacks in to his deck. Rezzing in to existence in the SatNet RTG he uses, He shifts form in to
Trenchcoat, a trenchcoat(Go figure), white gloves and a fedora. And nothing inside them. Sort of a TS Elliot Joke.
He starts for, with the speed of thought and electron, the Redding RGT that handles most of northern California's matrix service. Thats where he'll find
Sally. It's been 3-ish years since Johnny was a UCAS Marine stationed at the Atlanta UCAS Embassy, where Sally was an intel clerk on Internship. Their lives

person he's known the longest, and the only person who is consistent throughout the strains of memory that tangle his mind prior to 10 years ago. It's
comforting, yet also discomforting in its own way.
Sally has always been the good operative, even for a bureaucrat. She's in the office, using her account to do a search, finding her in a library of
some kind, though officially outside of the CIA data construct. Intent on her work, she does 'look up' who is doing a trace on her, once you've rezzed near
by she says, "Well…three monthes between contacts, must be getting interested in me again," offering a wry smile.
"Something like that." Offers the faceless trenchcoated figure. "I've got a lead on a possible situation you would be interested in." One glove reaches in to
his hollow body, pulling out a classic 'diskette' Icon. "I want you to take a look at this, it could be important. Ares is starting to tag Runners with
self-managing self-repairing and sustaining bloodborne Nanites capable of shutdown of the host, without the need for a colony implant."
Sally produces an icon that looks like a microscope, "Alright," setting the scope down, and the disk under it, "looks clean," giving the trenchcoat a
sympathetic look, "We've been monitoring Lone Star's program, and Ares involvement in it," once finished scanning the information she pops it into a 'fiche
reader' provided by the library construct. After the replay is over, "well, that is a bag of cats," she looks back to the trenchcoat, "how reliable are the
data?"
«OOC» Johnny says, "Curiosity:"
«OOC» Johnny says, "Why would Ares be workign with lonestar, when they have Knight Errant, their own Security Firm?"
«OOC» Johnny says, "Lone Star is an independent."
«OOC» Thog says, "Ares Largest Weapons supplier in NA"
«OOC» Johnny nods.
«OOC» Johnny moves forward then, if you meant it that way
«OOC» Thog says, "Beyond that, you'd have to ask Hardy. I'm just a creative consultant."
«OOC» Johnny nods.
«OOC» Thog says, "Likely, KE doesn't have jurisdiction in places like Atlanta or other CAS cities. Co-operation wouldn't be out of the question."
"The data is as reliable as first run data is. I'm about to put a trace in on the doctor who did that Sig-Tap, but I wanted to get your intel on this first,
to see if you thought it was credible. I have better things to do in this world than waste my time running down loose ends Pro-Bono."
"I see," Sally says going back to the data rerunning it, this time through filters, "well, to back trace it, you'd have to work with a live cast, but
there is some interesting 'tags' on this clip," she makes a square then enlarges it before throwing the data there, "See this," freezing the snow and hash,
then strips the video translation out to show the underlying signal and code, "it's a bounce, from Europe to the local Denver RTG," highlighting the relavent
origin and destination codes, "this," pointing out a string, "is a tag that has come into recent use, we've managed to trace two seperate attempts at the DoD
to a two different local nets in CAS."
"Interesting." Says he then, looking over the tags. "Given these runners were local to Denver, I will hazard his base of operations is in Denver. And while
tracing him would require the live feed to follow the datastream… I should be able to narrow the area the hack originated from via the bandwidth logs."
"As for this bug, well. It would appear to no-longer be theory, though if Ares or Lone Star ever admitted to it, or has hard proof lying around
anywhere would be unlikely. Lastly those nanites would be in carefully controlled and strictly monitored so no accidents happen, that's my guess at least,"
Sally says. Switching back to the initial thread, "You could, if you want to hack EU's bandwidth logs, or easier you might do some quiet inquiries in
Denver's CAS sector, likely the Doctor is a shadow himself, someone other shadows would trust, for instance, to take blood. He'd also have to have a local
lab, or a field shop. Check recent purchases of various test equipment from local suppliers."
Johnny mms quietly, a glove strokign where a chin would be on a normal man. "Good ideas. Ones I was already alligning, but thats why we work so well
together, Sally. I'll let you get back to your research. I'll be in California in a few weeks, we should do lunch."
Sally offers a small grin, "We should," she starts to say something stops then says, "be careful. Ares or Lone Star aren't people you want to tangle
with when they're like this. Given the short duration of the cast, your Doctor, or the Doctor's Assistant, knows this."
Johnny nods to the woman. "Of course. See you later, Sally." With that, Trenchcoat logs off, one gloved hand tipping his hat.
«Plot» Thog says, "Ok, next step?"

«Plot» Thog says, "Usual form of contact?"
«OOC» Johnny says, "Phone, no time to do a disguise."
«Plot» Thog says, "kk"
The phone rings several times before a woman's voice answers, sounding a bit winded, "Hello?" she also sounds a bit annoyed. You hear in the
background a male voice muttering darkly.
«Auto-Judge[]» Johnny (#799) rolls Acting (Impersonation):
1 2 2 3 3 3 10
"You're not daddy! And you're not mommy! Who are you?" Asks Johnny, affectating the voice of a young boy, perhaps 8 years old. "Where's my daddy?"
She doesn't bother to answer that question, you hear her distantly say, "It's for you," her tone icy cold now. The male voice says, "What the hell?"
this one belonging to Mark.
"Mark!" Says Johnny then. "Man, I'm sorry, is this a bad time?"
"Whatcha think?" then away from the phone, "hey wait, it's a friend of mine, a real prankster," something thuds in the background, followed by a
squawk of surprise, "Well frag you too, your sister was better anyways," *SLAM* goes a door before Mark speaks to the phone again, "Well, now it isn't.
Better be good though, and you owe me some yen to repair my wall."
"Dude, I'm just gonna say." A pause as he tries not to laugh.. "I don't think she was that in to you. But seriously. I got bussiness for us both here. I can
spot you the wall. This line secure?"
"One second," this is more then a couple of seconds of pops and clicks followed by a squeal that is real annoying, "now it is. Whatcha got?" Strictly
biz now is Mark.

"Well, that my friend is right interesting," Mark says as the bed suggests he's laying back down, "what's it worth?" dangling that tone of knowing like a
lure for a rather large fish.
"It's worth a thousand up front, and more if I find myself being shot at when I investigate further. The Company has eyes on this."
.
"Fair enough," Mark adjusts his position again, "I got a nibble on a troll going by Barry Morreline, a register to Shiawese," he chuckles at that, "he purchased some second hand lab equipment from a couple of pawn shops and medical recyclers. Had a rather extensive list too, mostly detection equipment.
I wouldn't have noticed it, except he's a troll…from Shiawese."
Johnny grunts… "I see. Shiawase is feeling out of the loop and using what limited assets they have in the area. Alright. I'll get going on that… I'll
forward the cash via the usual channels mark. More money in this later if it pans out."
