[/ooc]The inside of Shatterframe’s sedan has adjustable rotating seats so that the occupants can face each other.  It’s a little tight on space with two giants, but it’s a comfortable ride as you reach maximum speed on the highway.Shatterframe reaches up to take off her remote headset, and for a moment the group can see lights flashing under her skin, marking the internal parts connected to her brain.  The still moving car does not waver a bit, under the influence of its autopilot.  She smiles as she turns her seat to look at the runners, and in the bright interior of her sedan can be seen a metallic sheen to her eyes.She says, “These jobs are always time sensitive.  This is the sweet life, fellas.  What else do you have to do besides be out there on the streets making a living?  A couple of grand for some dead pests isn’t bad for a nights work, but it won’t get you far either.  You’ve got about twenty-two hours left.  That should be plenty of time to get some rest, find some company, and purchase any gear you can find in the city, magical or otherwise.  If you would like a recommendation, Ranella’s Mystical Portables over on fifteenth street has a clean reputation.”Shatterframe remarks, “The box will certainly have tracking devices on it.  You can go into the VR to detect any signals and remove them.  The higher pay means there are likely to be some goons poking around after this item.  Of course, the only people we can trust on jobs are in this car right now.”Syd Vicious remained silent.[sblock=Second offer] In Sugarland there is a storage unit that I’ve lost the key to. I need you to open this locked storage unit. Inside you will find a box. You may open the box, I just need what’s inside. You don’t have to keep the box, just the statue inside the box. Bring me that statue.Pay: 2500 credits each [/sblock]You each receive a message from Shatterframe on your phone that reads: Brimstone’s Storage, Level 6, Unit 56  “That’s the info for the unit,” she explains.She drops each of the runners off at their desired location.  You may make purchases and add them to your inventory.You meet the following night at the same repair center, and sense nothing amiss.  This time Shatterframe picks you up in a bright green minivan with flowering vines painted on the side and sliding rear doors.  It has more room than the sedan, but as before Shatterframe is in the drivers seat with her remote headset on.  Her black suit is the same as it was the night before.“Nice to see you again,” she says, her voice coming through the van speakers.  She drives to Sugarland and pulls up to one of the skyscrapers with a white sign that reads Brimstone’s Storage over the door.Roll perception and include it in your post during the week for intentions.</blockquote>
