Hey, man. I saw the post from Baby Steven. What else can you tell me about what he saw, and this Corporation in control? News, rumors, anything.

I won't lie, our a worlds are alike. And, the investigator in me has been getting kind of stir-crazy..

Uh so yeah, the megacorps aren't exactly all sunshine and rainbows. They have a considerable amount of power globally and with that comes a lot of corruption. Kinda how they stay on top. Aztechnology are fine if you don't mess with their interests, so he is safe as far as that's concerned. I would have warned him away if he was going to be in any danger. The rides and stuff outside the Pyramid are genuinely harmless.

There's a lot of info. Like a huge amount. Back when I was on my world, I used to be what was called a Shadowrunner. We did jobs, sometimes for corps against other corps, something just against the corpos. And the megacorps are big and complicated. Aztechnology is shrouded in a lot of secrecy but they make a lot of different things, meaning their influences are varied and their power pretty strong.

Oh, I am fully aware of how Corporations can be like. Most of my group here has dealt with one in particular, but I'll save that for later, as it isn't important. Since you know more about it, I'll take your word that he'll be safe. Also, thanks for looking out for us, man. I know I've been a bit, apprehensive, with you given how you came here, but Johnn trusts you. I should do the same.

Yeah, most are like that. That's why I'm interested in the rumors. For me, here is usually more truth to those than what you get with the news. Anything you know?

Dude, it's okay. I get it. Kinda like how people ended up on this station, I was pulled from my reality on to that station. And I'm kinda glad that I got to come to this station because this place saved my life. I wanna do all that I can to help this place and the people here. Johnn and I have a workshop together now which is pretty sweet. We do repairs and stuff for people!

There's a few places I can recommend. And you're welcome to tag along with me if you like. You can probably learn a lot. There's also the rumour mill on the matrix if you know where to look.

Like I said; let's stay this conversation for another time. Maybe over dinner and drinks.

No, Johnn already told me he was going to go alongside you. You all can figure the bigger details.

I care more about the any people they have hurt or are hurting. Though, through ~~our~~ my own experience, as we discussed, these Mega-Corps do 'shady things.'

If you could, I want to know about those. I doubt this "Matrix" can do tell me what I want to know.. Do you have 'man on the streets' that I can talk to?

Uh yeah, sure.

The Matrix is kinda like the network here but it's bigger, vaster. You can interact with it via a trode which you wear like a visor. Or if you have a datajack and a cyberdeck, you can plug in and interact with it on a physical level. It's a lot more dangerous that way and you run the risk of running into ICE. When it comes down to the old runs, I was a Matrix runner first and foremost. My job was to get intel or mess around with systems and their security.

As for a "man on the streets"? You're gonna get some dude's opinion and that's it. If you find other runners, you might get a bit more? That's kinda what I was offering.

Wow. I can definitely tell why Johnn likes you so much. "Runners" "ICE" "Jacks"
I've read that five times now and I have literally zero idea of what your talking about. I'm not techo-savvy, I work more on the magic side.

Okay. You said we are working against Mega-Corps. And given that, this place using tech, organics, and magics here... There have to be human or animal experiments.

To stop "beating around the bush": Where can I go to find someone to talk to about that?

Shadowrunning's an off the books kinda job. Stuff kept under the table. If you want something done more discretely, go to a runner. Dantes Inferno's where you find runners and the people who hand out the jobs. The fixers because you know, they fix you up with work and they fix things for people.

ICE is basically a kind of virus that comes in a variety of forms.

As for jacks? See how sometimes you need to plug something in? The plug socket is the jack and it's in my head. I can plug myself into a computer. And that's why viruses are even more dangerous because I can be infected with one or have one royally frag my day.

Other than that, best I can think to suggest aside from Dantes checking out the magic circles. Go to [insert address here] and speak to a snake Shaman. She's called Silence and she keeps an eye on the corpos that do experiments on live subjects.

	Alright, those are some good leads. And, I was being a little bit facetious with my lack of knowledge on those fronts. Sorry, hard to convey that through text! I'm going to start with the magic circles, if I fail there, I'll try for Silence, if not there, the Runners. Or should I reverse that? Either way, I'll figure it out, I hope. Thanks, Chaos!

	I'm trusting you with a friend of mine. I'm not sure why. You don't really seem to trust me but this is how we mend bridges, right? You might find Silence in Dante's. She does go there to hang out. There's a bartender called Bunny too. Tall girl. She's cool to talk to. Tell either of them that Chaos sent you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never said I don't trust you. I am a little weary of you, I won't lie. But, I am thankful for your trust in me.

That being said, there was never a 'burned bridge' to mend. You didn't put me in that prison, nor did you go after my friends and family.

Johnn trusts you. I respect his judgment of character~~, mostly~~.Either way, you're cool in my book. Honestly, I won't lie, I also really love your hair, it's fucking amazing.

Alright, got it. I just want info about anything "off the books" these Mega-Corps are doing. I won't mention your name unless I have to.

	Okay. ~~Nah, I just turned against the dude who saved my life the first time around~~. Thanks! Yeah, Dantes is your best bet for people who have that kind of info. But it will come at a cost. They might want you to do a job for them for info or pay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
