Lynn; 4/4; Hunky Dory

She watches X12 head up the walk and approach the door then lets her attention fall to the gat behind her. Lynn lets her duffle bag fall to the ground at her feet and sits beside it, her back still against the gate. Justifying that an inadimate object wouldn't feel intruded on like a person, she rests her palm on the gate and opens her mind to the sensation.
 

"True. But let's see it another way, she want to see Split again, yes? Doing like that, it would give her a chance to meet Split. Just present to her that I can make the meeting become real, but I won't risk my place in EPIC without having something back in return, like Split's help. That's fits in the character.

DO you think you can convince her to follow me?"

"See, that is the reason Thunder made you the team leader instead of one of them. You have a good grasp of which strings to pull," .

Trust me, its not something I enjoy, she remarks as she heads back to where she was before.

Dalamar said:
We also need contingency plans for Split not accepting to the trade at all, us failing to subdue one or both of Jennifer and Split and thus enabling an escape, Split bringing allies to the trade -we are going to do so, we should also prepare for the fact that he is doing likewise-, as well as some other cases."

I don't think he would give up the opportunity to get Jennifer back, she is a virtual font of information about us and ARIS as well as the senior members there is no way he is going to pass up on that and yea its a good bet he is going to bring backup. But first things first, where are we going to have this meeting? I think somewhere open without a lot of electronic gadgets, that way we can neutralise Jennifer's powers if we decide that she needs to come along. Perhaps a stadium or something like that, anyone have any ideas?
 

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

"Hey, why don't we just get Anna to make or just buy a really high powered rifle, then big chocolate here just takes care of Split. It doesn't have to be up close and personal." Michael whispers over to Cosmo. "10 to 1 his brains go splat just like anybody else's."
 

"A field would be beter than a stadium. A stadium have many corridor and place to hide. A field have the advantage that a clone of Split will have much more difficulty to hide, and their is no electrical things if you choose it well. Over that, there is no civilian near by. But such place, or even a stadium raise the chance that Split will feel the trap." he tells to Michelle.

He adds to Michael attention "And aren't we suppose to give it alive to M-Tac?"
 

"I am not sure if I can persuade Jennifer to go along with you. If it were about just trusting me, she probably would. However, you are not familiar to her, and some" Johan glances at his double "people have made it harder for her to trust others with their irrational behavior."

Sanjay shrugs, only half paying attention to the debate. "So, both of you could go with her. Let Split bring a friend, too. Not like he's not going to have his buddies nearby, anyway."

EPIC Headquarters, The War Room

As the conversation goes on, Dara is humming away as she fools about on one of the terminals.

"Yeah, for some reason I need a new gun. I wonder why I need a new gun," Carl grumbles.

"I got a question," Tara says, interrupting. "Why the heck would he agree to go to a field, or a stadium, or anyplace that screams 'I'm a trap! Come here!'?"

"Because we're hoping he wants the girl back as much as she wants to go back," Cosmo sighs. "The real question is what do we tell him we want for this exchange, or are we going to try to convince him we're doing this out of the goodness of our hearts? Because if we can't at least convince him there is a reason for this, he's going to come wherever we say with that chick with the same powers, his two buddies from the train and a hovership full of robots to nuke the crap out of Johan and whoever is standing in the open with the girl."

"I like this pl.. ow!" exclaims the other Johan as he is once more smacked upside the head.

"We can count on that anyway, mate," Rebound says. "It's not like he's ever contacted us about her, asking to trade her back or anything. No matter what we say, he's gonna know its a trap. Not that we have any idea where to send the bloke."

Morgentaller District
X12

The pale woman closes her eyes a moment, then opens them and shakes her head to your statement. However, she gestures for you to come in and the welcoming smell of freshly baked bread comes to your nose. To you it is nearly overpowering.

As you enter, she closes the door quietly behind you and you look around the interior. It's tastefully decorated with a waiting room to your left and an antique desk, probably for the woman behind you.

With a start you feel a tug on the neck of your uniform light touch at the base of your neck.

Lynne Jenkins
As X12 goes inside, you settle down and draw memories out of the gate. In a rush, you get a rather large range of images, including a number of star figures. As the images flit by, one of them grabs your attention. It is X12, entering the house in the company of a woman. As the door closes, you see one of the women's eyes glowing red and you snap back to reality.

It seems that X12 has been here before. However, from his greetings at the door, you wonder if he knows it.

You didn't get the greatest of results on the gate, and it will take a hero point to better your results should you want to investigate further.
