This is a public, civilian space. Though it's owned by the Hong8 through various quasi-coherent paperwork trails, the on-the-ground individual vendors are independent operators.
We're taking the van(s) to get there, so we're bringing some heavier equipment in the cargo trunk. If there's an emergency, I've got a line into some drone-delivery systems as well that can drop off things.
But because this is a public space, you're going in light and nimble. It turns out normal functioning society asks questions if you rock up into their personal space in full body armour and with assault gear, so none of that for now. The Hong8 Master of Ceremonies have called ahead to let his enforcers know that we're allowed to be in the area and futz around doing what we do, so I've sourced some passes that'll make at least them back off if you flash them.
Based on your operational performance during ops VERDANT GREEN, we've adjusted your tactical loadout with a complement of deterrents and tools. Enjoy.
I've sourced some slightly higher power ammo for the C7 standard, so the stopping power should be notably higher. I still don't think it rates against modern ballistics protection, so try not to get into roaming firefights with corporate security or a Metroplex Incident Response team. But for most anything else, you should be good.
I've prepared a suite of standard programs for those among you who keep sleeping through our meshinfrastructure lectures and don't feel comfortable attempting to flash-compile your own bespoke systems. The techwear tactical net can support up to to suites per agent, so be sure to load them into your gear before deployment. If you need space for something else, just crash one. Bringing the packages online again later is something I can handle manually from here. Cloud infrastructure, right, agent?
You're being issued with a (fancy) multispectrum sample analyser. It's going to help us narrow down samples that match the enzyme co-factor profiles from the vials Agent Fold acquired. My hunch is that anything with a closer match will be related to Dr. Despango, because there's only so much biological microclimate to go around. Find a large enough concentration, and you've found where he did a lot of shopping orm must have had suppliers. Then we'll find our lead.
So, get kitted up and squared away, Agents.
Oh, and as a courtesy, I went over the specs for most of your issued equipment and standardised the manual instructions... "Thanks, Liren"; I pretend you're saying. I haven't slept a lot lately.
