    "Apples and oranges, wouldn't you say? Besides, who throws a battery? I ask you! I tell you, those geezers may not look like much but they've got one heck of a pitching arm." He simulates a baseball pitch, pretending to throw a ball off into the distance.

    "Well I'd be less concerned about mercury poisoning for one. Also I'd be less bewildered. If they're going to resort to assault they might as well go whole hog, you know? I feel less inclined to use ol' Daisy here when someone throws a battery at me as opposed to, say, a throwing star" Lovejoy pets the handle of his katana to illustrate his point. "Not that I'd ever assault NO staff, of course"

    His player wants to call into question how much mercury is actually in a common battery (it was probably a cell if it was for a flashlight), but sadly Krayger isn't that kind of engineer. Instead, he merely chuckles.

    "Backstory, schmackstory. I just resent having things thrown at me, is all. I love my mom, but she did some weird stuff. Like that time she threw our old rain gutter through our neighbour's front window." Lovejoy begins to smile at the memory and stifles a chuckle, nostalgia coming back to him. "They were so scared"

    NO office, ******** site
    (whichever has people in it first)

    A well-dressed man (though perhaps a bit dated) comes into the office and looks at whoever appears to be the most in charge. (Either a member or an NPC receptionist.)

    Afternoon. I'm looking to join up. Got my paperwork and everything.
    He produces a sheet of paper from his jacket pocket.

    What should I do now?

    [NO Riverside Office]

    The office in riverside is in fact a large old-fashioned manor and the desk in fact a large table with a comfortable green armchair behind it. It's a bit custom-made but what can you do?

    Behind the desk is a drow woman (who is further described in my signature as "Dena") dressed in a blue sweater with a V-neck and a pair of black jeans. On top of her head rests a particular hat. "Howdy to you too." She says as she takes a look at his paper. "Well, looks like you just need to prove yourself to the boss... or me." The drow grins. "So what can you do cowboy? Impress me."

    He turns and walks out the door. A second later, the same man walks out of another door in the foyer, dressed in full Cowboy garb, like an old Hollywood movie.

    "Good enough, so tell me now that official matters are over. How are thins working out for NO? As I'm sure you're aware, Magtok left the council as well shortly after you did but not before throwing accusations left and right. Vas statements hardly helped the situation either." Cessie asks as she relaxes back a bit in the chair. Garn still look as tense though.

    [NO Riverside Office]

    Huh, that she had not expect. Dena looks after the man in surprise only to be even more surprised as he enters again a moment later. She felt like laughing out loud but she had a better idea. She briefly pretends to look at the paper even if she knows it's the same and then leans over, resting her chin on her closed fist. "Ya? We had a chap here just a moment ago who look mightily like you. You could be his twin in fact." Her voice drops into an strange accent which origin can't easily be determined.

    Dipsnig cackles. It's not a very pleasant sound.

    "Heheheheh... I'm sorry. I do find it endlessly amusing that after Vasquez's show of favouritism for him, and insulting everyone else in the room just to show how she supports him, he quit too. He sure is an ingrate, isn't he? At any rate, we've been successful, bringing the mercenary population of the Nexus under our wing." You're probably thinking of your boot here, Dipsnig.

    I have a half-twin. It was probably him. He tends to hang around from time to time. It's a terrible shame. I'm only cowboy on my father's side.

    He leans in close.
    So what are we thinkin' here, pardner?

    "A true jack of all trades, I'm in luck." Smiling she scratches her chin. "What about you do some simple information gathering for me? Honestly I'm enough of a gambler to bet on a card like you but it's procedure and I'm curious to see how you'll handle this. So there is this place in Riverside, Eastside specifically that's called Lotus gardens where people seem a little bit too happy. Rumors are that a cult is at work, corrupting the innocent and stuff like that." She makes a dismissive gesture, finding it pretty standard. "So go and find out what's really going on. I'm not asking for a through investigation, just go around and ask around and don't get yourself sacrificed at some cult ceremony. Heck, I might even go with you."

    "Harald is a man with a lot of technology and the mentality of an entitled teenager," Dipsnig says. "Such people seem common in the Nexus for some reason. I don't think it's worth the trouble to pay attention to him. SHEOL is a bit of a mystery. They seem to be in the problem-solving business just like we are, but operate differently. Still, there's nothing more weird about them than about a lot of enterprises around here. I may approach them to negotiate selling them our license."
