[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 5958120, member: 9026"] Uomo and Cassandra head on the town gathering information for a few hours, talking to people all over about research facilities while hiding their interest in that *particular* facility by asking about several others as well. Mercury Labs has been in in Vegas for seven years now, mostly dealing with pharmacological research. They are on the cutting edge and funded/contracted by a major drug company, so corporate espionage is a major concern, and their security is tight. They seem to be 'open' 24 hours, with various scientists coming and going at all hours. Nobody seems to have any real information about the 'security guards' at this particular lab - most of the security guards around town tend to blend together, as there is a LOT of security in Vegas. Most of the Labs in Vegas keep fairly high security, and Mercury sets the bar. All outside services are acquired elsewhere and brought in by their 'personal security'. The scientists at Mercury tend to work long hours, but are neither prisoners nor obsessed(well some may be..). They take in the sights and spend some of their downtime around town just like any other person, though like most Vegas Citizens, they try to avoid the tourist traps. They're very tight lipped about talking about work though.. one of them got a bit too drunk and slipped some info on a project six months ago, and was fired and sued for breaching his confidentiality contract. From what Cassandra can tell, none of the citizens they've interviewed knows any real information on the Lab, they're just repeating what they've seen/heard. You need to find someone who might have an actual connection with the place. [ooc] VV/Shayuri - In order to hide your interest with the deception it takes you extra time b/c you're essentially investigating multiple things to hide which one you're really looking into. If you guys want to go looking for a Scientist to 'interview', you should be able to find one, but getting him to talk will be far more difficult. Shayuri - In the last thread you mentioned filing a story. What kind were you planning on filing? You could have sent it through Grid before heading out with Uomo. Zerith - I believe Frost was just asking if anybody else wanted to order room service, he didn't indicate that he intended to go out, but if WD's ok with it he could do that. BBs - I'm assuming everyone's been provided with basic 'pay as you go'/burner cell phones by uomo/felix. If you guys want more secure Commlinks, you'll have to spend equipment points on them, but with Grid the cell phones should be 'fairly' secure, as he can monitor them to see if they're being tapped into externally, and increase their security. Also, How much money are you taking gambling, what kind of gambling, how long, are you drinking... details man! I need to know how much fun I can have with this. *evil grin* :) [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
