Agents, good work so far. Obeying traffic regulations might slow you down a little, but sticking to roads and playing it safe also makes sure the metroplex police don't have any reason to stop or ask questions. Because we're not connected to GRIDGUIDE to avoid any large scale tracking, if they ping our vehicles to request ID and license specifications, I have to improvise those on the fly. And there's nothing - NOTHING - Metroplex police hates more than vehicles roaming the urban zone not hooked into their pet all seeing eye.

The Oakheart of the Hong8, the Boss of Bosses, has let me know... No, let me start over. He's let some internal person know, who let somene else know, who let someone else know, who made a teahouse proprietor send me a message saying that she would be delighted to extend an invitation to tea at the following addresses, if we can arrive without too much damage to the property. We should not worry about bringing company, because teap parties can be more exciting if there are many more invited.
I am going to go out on a limb and say those are safehouse locations in areas and jurisdictions where the Hong8 are confident the police won't follow and where they know they can hustle us elsewhere if they need to.
The teahouse proprietor also asked me if I'd kindly pick up some dry cleaning and some packages on the way, be a dear, she said, the smallest of favours, the tiniest of detours.
You understand how these people work, I think. It won't be an insult or enormously impossibly rude if we don't manage. But it shows a certain willing if we try. I asked her if it tealeaves or *tealeaves* and told her we don't do narcotics smuggling runs because Agent Holiday made us all promise. She said it was tealeaves. But her accent was a bit weird. So it might have been dry cleaning. Point is, it's not *drugs* and it shouldn't be contraband either. But still... That's getting a little -extra- involved... But on the other hand, having the Hong8 owe you a favour is the kind of thing that opens up doors. The big, glitzy golden ones.

I've got pingbacks on spec systems from active meshscanning. Idle metroplex commschatter mentions they just let a 'search team' of 'intelligence officers' into the 'incident area'. I've looped a camera feed from that section and analysed the vehicles. We've got Red Cranes, likely moving to assist the team alread at the apartment complex. No sign of their gunships yet.
Or... Agent Ink for that matter.
What's she up to?

Agent Hazard, Agent Cheddar, you're inside the SENSOR RANGE of those new arrival Red Crane cars. This isn't an instant defaet, don't worry. There's a lot of urban life to chew through. But it does mean they're actively spotting, searching and navigating the area. And they're closing in! If they make contact or INTERCEPT you, you might get in a fight!
