>>6160632Apartment is clean, Agents! Get through the building, duck the cordon now that Ink has started a distraction getting tangled with a SWAT team and their impromptu hostage negotation situation in the hotel lobby with those EMTS, then *get out of there*
I've lost signal on Agent Jack'Oal and Agent Evans. I'm not... sure what happened. Agent Jack'Oal cut himself off, but Agent Evans went dark - one moment his vitals were registering and the next I'd lost net access.
I'm sorry, Agents. We'll... We'll arrange something. W-when you make it out of there. I promise. Just make it back alive, alright? This night has been rough enough as is.
I'm plotting a route for you and I've started hammering metroplex SysWatch with a string of bogus emergencies and looped calls. It'll draw some of the response off of you and clear a path. Red Crane Command is unlikely to let us go as readily however, and they know we have Subject FETCH with us. And the FEYWILD data, both of which seem enormously important to them. However, I think I've got us an angle - but you're *going to have to trust me on this one*.
The Hong8. They were setup to fail. Mox Mimicry was clear in that apartment fed their location by the Singularity Cloud Counterintel unit - Haze Six - and *meant* to arrive in time for the Hong8 to execute Dr. Despango, then witness them in turn being taken into custody (and disposed of later, I presume) by the Red Cranes, hired by CS but likey posing as Dr. Despango or the apartment's private security.
So, I propose we... simply tell the Hong8 Oakheart this. The Boss of Bosses isn't going to take that insult lying down easy, and if we feed them the data from your feeds its quite convincing. This'll buy us passage through their territory and if there's *one group* in this city that knows how to shake a tail it's the Hong8 and their smuggling connections. Of course, if the Boss of Bosses doesn't like what we're selling we're in for a bad time.
Great plan, right?
*Alternatively*, I've started plotting routes that have a higher chance of success. We only need to escape the sensor-net and any immediate pursuers. Then we can lose them in the metroplex and go to ground while we find out what to do next. You'll have to drive more and there's going to be more barricades, but on the other hand, we won't have to tangle with the Hong8 and their Hundred Hands.
What do you think, Agents? Easy but complicated or hard but simple?
