Persona: None online.
Actions: Back at the airport coffin hotel, planning her next move. Talking with the wife


“I appreciate the lift.” Syn said as she got in the Nissan with a grin as she looked the fetching woman over. She found the deal energy quite appealing to her as she pulled on her safety belt and sipped at her soy caff with a much calmer manner than she felt. She knew the ‘bodyguard’ was a deadly foe from her past interactions.  She had to work with them due to the fact her client was Alfred’s wife. She watched the other woman got in the car with interest

There was a bit of trust involved as she was giving up her autonomy in working with the woman and her boss.  She hoped the cooperation was reciprocated by them

It wasn't hard to see the killer in Black Tip if you knew where to look and Syn knew where to look.  According to rumour, she'd gotten her handle almost a decade earlier, likely when she was in her teens.  She'd been snorkeling off the coast of South Africa and had encountered an oceanic Black Tip shark that taken a more than passing interest in her.  Armed only with a diving knife, she'd won the encounter with the apex predator.

"No worries," she said as she pulled out of the parking lot.  "Janey said you needed a hand.  Any luck finding him?"  There was no need to ask who she meant.  Albert's disappearance was troubling on several levels.

Before Syn could answer, her phone pinged, announcing a message from the Rainbow Anarchist.

My boy came through.  Saw the video.

Something really weird going on.

“I have found some leads in the last few hours but nothing concrete as yet.”
She said quietly as she checked her hud to view why Rainbow had sent her. “Of course a contact’s connections looked over what I had found.” She imagined that the killer was a bit conflicted on the situation with Albert’s disappearance. 

“I’m viewing the image footage now.”

"Hopefully something useful,"  Kendra said.  "Janey's got some people looking as well, discretely.  She has a surprising number of friends in low places.  So far they've turned up nothing.  Whoever wanted Mr Campion to disappear, they knew what they were doing and how to hide their tracks."

The formality in the way she spoke of Albert and the familiarity with which she spoke of his wife was telling.  She was far closer to the Mrs Campion than the Mr Campion.  It was hardly surprising given her role.  It was like a mirror of Syn's relationship with Albert. She certainly wouldn't call his wife 'Janey'.

"Janey said your wires were giving you trouble,"  Kendra continued.  "Bad timing.  If you're coming to her for help, it must be a software issue.  That's why I never picked up any skillware.  Anything goes wrong, you're narfed.  With skills you've actually learned, it's a lot harder to loose them, unless you don't keep practicing.  Or you get shot in the head and lose some grey matter."

“I am having problems with my persona softs.”.”
Syn admitted reluctantly. She thought about the stun gun to her datajsck a few days earlier as a problem as well. She was right about Albert’s abductors, they were very good at vanishing without a trace. They were amazingly good at their job.  She wondered what her companion’s boss might ask of her for aid

"I've heard of personaware"  Kendra said.  "Cutting edge software that simulates personality as well as skills.  There were problems a few years ago with some prototypes being stolen.  They tried to keep it quiet but you know, friend of a friend.  I'm guessing they've refined them just a little since then."

She paused, trying not to let her curiosity get the better of her.  Eventually, she failed.  "Okay, I'm hoping this is not too personal a question but I have to ask.  What sort of personality do you have in there?  You don't strike me as the sort of woman who would be deficient in many areas.  Bad ass is the streets, ball buster in the boardroom."  She grinned.  "You even look like you could cut a rug in a ballroom if you wanted to."

She turned off the road and into a driveway, pulling up to a gate that began to open as soon as they arrived.  Inside was a large estate and the building they were heading towards looked like it very well could be haunted.  Two large dogs watched as the car approached the front doors.

Sinclair Dane "Syn"
Elf Female, Age: 28
Citizenship: Archangel (Limited:Former Employee)
Persona: Fixer
Actions: Riding to meet the wife. . Talking with ‘Black Tip’

I have basic personality overlays, like a filter on my awareness when I run one of them. You know they color my perceptions and enable my emotions to be guided in specific ways. I have fixer running right now, so I’m analytical and evaluating others, with other routinesI am very sociable with an array of complimentary skills. Dancing is one of them.” She said as she considered sharing her entire inventory.

I have several. Fixer, as explained, Courtesan, which you can imagine what it does for me, and a few others.” She said quietly as they pull up to the house.
