Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kwargrow" data-source="post: 7800528" data-attributes="member: 6855382">Supplemental post:  While on the way to Port Arthur Hawkeye sends a message to Uncle Jimmy to let him know he'll be by to see him.  Jimmy sends back an invite to meet him for a VR conversation.  In the VR the two can see each other's avatars and speak as though standing right next to each other.  Uncle Jimmy's avatar is well known to Hawkeye, a baby in a small green tank with a military helmet and smoking a cigar.  As always, nothing in the VR was as it seemed and that cute little tank was actually a feared manifestation of Uncle Jimmy's skills.After you both verify identities and make sure this conversation is private, he puffs out a smoke ring and says, "It must be fate that you contacted me.  As you know I've still been looking into your parents deaths.  We knew the home invasion thing was drek, but we had no other motive.  Last week the HPD nabbed a member of the the Hudu Krew on a drug inspired stroll and their mages did the whole 'mind warp' trick on him to get him to confess to crimes.  One of the things he talked about was a hit job meant to look like a break in at Harold and Pauline Barnes' home.  I confirmed it with my connection in the magical department at HPD.  Anyone under a mind warp can't lie, which is why they're admissable in court.  There were three other gangers present for the murder, but they were also provided security codes by whomever paid them.  The one that confessed was low level and doesn't know who hired them, but at least we know what gang it was now.  The sleaze HPD has is named Ponder Tom, and we can't get to him.  I bet if we ask around to find some of his friends, we might track down some answers."</blockquote>
