Apollo sits back and shrugs, "You guys decide I am not a planner."

"This is probably going to sound stupid, but how are we getting TO China?"

"Teleporting would be the easiest. Skylark or Wren can do it, or I can," White says.

"Anyone up for a bit of peeping in on the US Embassy?" muses Skylark, peevishly. "Truth be told, seems it's the only real lead we 'ave going in. Unless we can beat the streets like inspectors or somethin'. Do ye suppose we could find a way to 'ack the Embassy's communications and security?"

"If I were him, I'd never walk in. I'd never come close. I'd go near a contact in a public place and report in telepathically. Eat in an adjoining restaurant or something. You can try to find how he does it, but you are probably best off coming up with something he wants, and make him go after it. Then either follow him or contact him. I'm sure you can think of types of information he'd want...a technology, a defector, some useful defense data, whatever. Then just put it out there that its available in some fashion that should lure him to a specific place. We can help with that it you want...get the false info to some of the right people...but you'll have to make things look right on the ground."

"Do we even need to use fake data? We could use the stuff we got from the Foundry as the bait," Star says. "Since it's real, that should add some legitimacy."

"That could work, but the trick would be figuring out a fake source in China for the data."

"Set up some hacker? I don't know about information black markets..." Otherwise I could have a lot more money.

"Set up some hacker? I don't know about information black markets..." Otherwise I could have a lot more money.

"But why would a hacker appear in person. This seems like the kind of thing that would be done online...unless the hacker has it and DOESN'T want to give it up...then hes have to come and take it."

"Well, he might not want to give it up - at least not to Markum - like you said. Or he's worried about intercepts. I said I didn't know how to do these transactions!"

"Ok then, so what we need to do is find a hacker -- our files have info for a number of them in China, make it look like he has the info, and wait for Markum to come after him...or impersonate him and contact Markum."
