OOC: I'm assuming enough B5 knowledge that you all know what a "vicker" is, but if your memory needs refreshing:
Here and here.
Max doesn't have the exposed brain thing though. See attached pic.
Edit also: I realised that Quaisak was referring to Vector as "Mr. Quatermain" all the way through the conversation, but he's actually Mr. Hawthorne. Gone back and amended that. Victor Quartermaine? I was thinking of Curse of the Were-Rabbit!

OOC: I had noticed..and then forgot I had noticed...thank-you for noticing and then amending it 
Choosing his words carefully, lest his exasperation become evident, Vector nodded towards Max.
"Vicker, with a 'K' n it...as in cybernetically augmented with a 'K' in it" he hissed, "You ever met one?"

"Oh, I get it now! Vicker as in VCR. (I've heard of those but never actually seen one. Sorry for my confusion.) And you figure that this 'Max the Camera Guy' who runs around with Sakura is a vicker? That would make perfect sense, I guess. Huh, 'Camera Guy' LITERALLY!"
OOC: Sorry for MY confusion is more like it! I never actually saw an episode of B5 that involved the concept of vickers. I've seen precious little of it, though. (Got some dvds around here somewhere, maybe I should dig them out?)

As the conversations move elsewhere, Ashley takes a moment to lean back in her seat and enjoy the moment to herself to just think and go over the situation. On sudden impulse, she brought out her PDA and started looking up their ace reporter friend. In particular Ash wanted to know if she had any rumored or confirmed ties to political or financial elites...which were probably the same group of people.

Sakura overhears Kirth and flashes him a smile. She throws and arm around the bulky shoulders of her companion Max.
"That's right," she says. "My All-Seeing Eye." She taps the top of Max's cyber-eye implant. "But he's only recording if the little red light is on here, so don't worry, gentlemen, we're off the record now. Although...", she leans forwards and touches Kirth on the knee. "It might be good to get some establishing shots, set up the situation, so to speak. And who knows, perhaps I might turn this into a human interest piece - the Harsh Life of the Oxgen Runner kind of thing. So if you like, how about a few video diary kind of shots?" Another beaming smile.
Meanwhile, Ash does a bit of research on Ms. Sakura. She's been working for LSN for about 5 years, with a regular slot featuring investigative journalism into a range of issues, mostly with a serious political and economic bias. Since many of her programmes seem to have been aimed at various big corporations and members of the Conglomerate she doesn't seem to be puching anybody's agenda. Indeed, LNN is part-funded by the Conglomerate and there are several news items where various members have complained about her articles. The majority of LNNs funding, however, comes from un-named privates sources who evidently like having her on staff to annoy the Conglomerate members.

Although Computer Use covers tracking down files in unfamiliar systems, this seemed like more a use of Investigation.

Vector grins.
"C'mon Warren, here's your big break..your chance at fame my friend"
The thin blonde man curls up his seat, in an effort to get more comfortable.
"So Max" he says, addressing the All-Seeing-Eye, "How'd you get your...current job?"
[sblock=GM]Vector is trying to ask Max about his implants, would that be a bit Intriguing? Mebbe?
And sorry for my delays in replies...had a nightmare two weeks of work, should be calmer now! Sorry!

Kirth looks disgusted. "I'll defer to you, Vector, since you seem to have the stomach for such. I don't, thank goodness."
