[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1741568, member: 4144"] Thorn grins. "Yes, yes, quite perceptive of you. I do have more information for you, yes. Ms. Sellers' laboratory is in the biomed labs - I apologize for not having an exact room number for you - in the Biotech wing of the Science hall. As for muscle, as you put it, I have tapped some, yes, but it remains to be seen whether they and their fixers have successfully come to some agreement. I also have tapped a decker, whom we are likewise waiting on. My associate here has more on that." On Thorn's cue, one of the sunglassed and silent agents steps forward. "Here are the details of the job. You are to extract Janice from the laboratory, as Mr. Thorn discussed with you. Then our decker - an unpleasant man calling himself Spring-Heel, of all things - will wipe her research off the University system, and transfer it to that of our government. Following which time, you will be responsible for delivering Janice to a truck stop near the Catoctin Mountain park in Maryland. You are then to stay with Janice until such time as emissaries of our government pick her up. You will recognize these emissaries by their red van." He presses the side of his head, and a tiny microchip pops out, which the agent promptly throws out the window. The second agent comes in, and leans down whispering in Thorn's ear. "Very well," he says. In walks a tall, gawky-looking man dressed, rather anachronistically, in the full suit and walking-stick of a gentlemen of the old Victorian era. "Dreadfully sorry I'm late, all, missed the party, have I?" "Allow me to introduce Robert von Stetten - Spring-Heel, as he chooses to name himself," says Thorn. Spring-Heel bows with a flourish, removing his top hat. It is then that you notice two small ivory horns atop his head. "Mr. von Stetten is a member of an artificial community in Harrisburg, one which emulates the Victorian era. He will be your decker for this assignment. Now, shall we negotiate now or wait for the others to arrive?" [/QUOTE]
