Giant Squid <#691> reaches out toward Sam's Submarine <#473>.

<Combat removed for brevity>

<Radio: toquer1234> "Go on."

Sam says, "Well, it was a good practice hunting trip. I feel sure that we could take a squid or even a Tote without many problems."
Sam says, "Not that the Totes dare to enter the water anymore."

<Radio: toquer1234> "Then, as show for the employer, the team needs to knock out the target and pull them out."

Nephi says, "aye"

<Radio: toquer1234> "Then a simply drop off at the destination."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Sounds like it might work, but I'm a bit skeptical about keeping my team in the dark about this."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Seems like that might lead to unwanted complications."
<Radio: toquer1234> "True. We may need another way to keep them quiet."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Why not simply pay them off?"
<Radio: toquer1234> "It's a classic for a reason."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Simple. Let them know that if they talk, you're authorized to hire assassins."

<Radio: toquer1234> "You're going to be paying them anyway. Just make secrecy part of the deal."
You say, "Possibly. I'll know in a minute."
<Radio: toquer1234> "What's going to keep them quiet after they are paid?"
<Radio: toquer1234> "The same thing that's keeping me quiet  it's good business to follow through on such things."
Sam nods.
<Radio: toquer1234> "All right. I'll trust you. And hold you responsible."

<Radio> "What's with all the garbage on the radio?"
<Radio> "It's encrypted traffic."

<Radio: toquer1234> "Ready to begin assembling your team?"
<Radio: toquer1234> "I should probably ask about the pay first. They'll be needing that."
<Radio: toquer1234> "And then I'll need the specific locations and the name of the target."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Somewhere between 80k and 130k for the whole thing."
<Radio: toquer1234> "John Armstrong is the target."
<Radio: toquer1234> "And the locations?"
<Radio: toquer1234> "He's in the Frigus Tiro Arcology."
<Radio: toquer1234> "Rent a zion apartment in a different name and drop him in it."

Atlantis East Dock
        The dock is almost as busy as Captown. Blue clad dock workers rush to build, repair, and dock submarines. The piers here are exceptionally clean, and the submarines look comfortable in their berths. The walls here are blue.
        Volunteers from the Defense Council Marines patrol the docks wearing blue uniforms. As they carefully watch the docks, they stand out against the background because they are not in a hurry.
        The current market price for a submarine is: 100 Oxy. To purchase a submarine, use '+buy sub' without the single quotes. To purchase a more powerful submarine, use '+buy sub <number>'. The number can be from 5 to 10. The price is 1000 Oxy multiplied by the number chosen. You can sell submarines you own using '+sell sub <#number>'. When selling a submarine, you may not receive as much as you paid for it.

The Plaza
        This is the neutral center of commerce in Atlantis. People from all factions can been seen doing business here; however, those dressed in red are constantly looking over their shoulders. Between the moving walkways, the ground is cobbled with smooth, dark stone. The shield dome is visible roughly two kilometers overhead.
        In the center of this area, a circular stage rises up four meters with a fifty meter diameter. Every night, the most accomplished Atlantis performers are granted access to use the stage by the Board of Regents. These opportunities are often seen as the peak of a performer's career. The performances range from musical to dramatic to more unusual things like jousting.

Militantslave says, "who"
You say, "I'll let you know after we work out a few details."
Militantslave says, "ok. hit me with the details"
You say, "There is a complication. He doesn't wish certain of his associates to know exactly what's going on, so we're going to stage his kidnapping rather than just pick him up."
Militantslave says, "this is getting interesting... do continue"
You say, "Needless to say, all those involved must keep silent during and after the operation."

You say, "I'm not at liberty to divulge my employer, however I may recruit another member to assist."

<Radio: toquer1234> "New information. The Frigus Tiro Hub's password has just been changed."

You say, "You'll play the part of one of the kidnappers. It wouldn't look very convincing if it was just me."
Militantslave says, "i assume the client knows he will be kidnapped?
You say, "I'm wondering whether to hire another or not. We probably don't need a third, but I wouldn't be surprised if something new turned up."
You say, "I'm informed that he does, and I plan on asking him as soon as we have him on board, just to be sure."
Militantslave says, "ok"

Defense Council HQ
        A 6-meter long desk faces the entryway from the far side of the room. Spaced along it are nameplates for the current defense council: Chairman Sam (3), Councilor Samuel (3), and Councilor Lady_Fox (3). Comfortable chairs are lined up in aisles on the left and right.
        An automated voting booth sits in the near right corner. Each ranked member of the Capitalist Alliance has three votes. To vote, use '+vote <candidate> <candidate> <candidate>'. You can list the same candidate three times, or select multiple candidates. Your current votes are: Samuel Sam Lady_Fox.
        The open records show the defense council currently has 520370 Oxy. You can donate Oxy using '+donate <amount>'. Council members may withdraw Oxy for agreed upon purposes using '+withdraw <amount>'. Council members should bbpost (+help bb) how the money withdrawn was spent.
        The chairman serves as the military commander-in-chief. The council establishes how to spend the money available to it. This is usually done with a two-thirds majority.

Sam nods, "Level 20 ok?"
Tarnel hesitates.
Sam says, "Or perhaps I shouls change the order to 30?"
You say, "Actually, we should probably upgrade the security there, too."
You say, "I'm not sure, actually. I've never heard the designations before."
You say, "Whatever the arcology has sounds good."
Sam scribbles out a change on the order form, "30 it is. That should be practically impossible to break."

Sam nods, "Yes I did. What's up?"

You say, "The target is willing, but we're supposed to make it look otherwise, for the sake of his associates."
You say, "Needless to say, we will be asking the target if he is, in fact, willing, before making the drop."
You say, "Not that I don't trust my contact or anything."
Sam nods, "Sounds good. Do we have to break into the Arcology?"

You say, "I've already recruited one member to the team, but I need a second. Two to make it look convincing when we pick him up, and one to do something in the ACN."

Tempest Dock
        The submarine berths here are made of an extremely strong, dark green, iron-alloy. Many of the submarines in dock have logos of corporations imprinted on their sides. There are fewer public dock workers here than most other docks. Most of the dock labor is performed by corporation crews. A direct tunnel with a moving walkway for pedestrians and a canal for submarines leads to Dark Moon Dock.

Tempest
        The ground here is paved with smooth concrete. Streets and alleys are created by many 30-meter tall arcologies. Each arcology bears a different logo and is its own city-state. Most of the arcologies seem to share a common architect. Very few arcology guards are seen outside of their own arcology. Traffic here consists mostly of shipments between the arcologies and the dock. It appears that none of the arcologies have windows.

Frigus Tiro Arcology
        This square room is dominated by a large, white, V-shaped desk. Sitting behind the desk are two attractive receptionists. A man and a woman whose voices betray their age, but their surgically enhanced faces do not. They wear conservative gray clothing and their hair short.
        In the middle of the left wall is the residential elevator. Opposite it in the right wall is the business elevator. The elevator doors are an extremely strong, dark green, iron-alloy. Fifty centimeters to the left of each elevator is a small retinal scanner. There are no buttons to call the elevators.
        The floor is tiled with creamy, emerald green hexagons. The walls and ceiling are white. A black door, labeled "Guard Room", is set in the middle of the far wall, behind the desk.
