Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 8:51:48 PM)
(*makes sure to carry a silver spoon!*)

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 8:51:59 PM)
(Get out the Clamps, Clamps)

JKRende (Nov 4, 2011 8:56:20 PM)
*Evening. Corrupts the Signal was there (assume this happened the day AFTER catching this guy.) - the captive was blind folded and duct taped to a chair. Corrupts the Signal had Akako and Aarron standing in the next room watching him. The safe house, in this case, was just that, a safe house, an old single family dwelling in Harahan that was... well, only barely repaired after Katrina, and a real mess... the room he was in had the floor exposed, the walls were poorly installed dry wall, the lights were all bare bulbs, and the whole place smelled of mold... but it was dark, quiet, alone in a big lot, and it was easily overlooked. In short. It was forgetable and safe.*

(This user is now known as Corrupts the Signal)

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 8:58:19 PM)
*he had found himself something stable to sit on as he watched with a somewhat bored gaze now that Corrupts the Signal had decided to take over the questioning, his fingers drumming lightly on the side of his face as he tilted his head lightly to see what the Glasswalker would pry out of him and how he might go about it*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 8:59:18 PM)
*Corrupts the Signal was watching the captive, he looked to Aarron and Akako* you two took him in. Get to it. I'll ask questions if I have any.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:01:20 PM)
*he grinned and hopped to his feet almost like a kid who'd finally been allowed to play with a new toy, grabbing the tool box that he'd brought with him from Paul's car he walked right on over to him and slapped him on the cheek lightly to get him to wake up* Good morning sunshine.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:01:49 PM)
*Paul jerked, but he didn't say anything. he was still blind folded*

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:02:46 PM)
*the glasswalker, leaned against the wall, a screwdriver in her fingertips, as she seemed to adjust settings on her hand. A faint sigh slipping from her as she glanced towards Aarron, before tucking her tool away. Pushing herself off the wall as she moved in the man's direction* Remember, that leg isn't real *idly pointing towards the prosthetic*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:03:25 PM)
*Corrupts chuckled at Akako's comment, but watched otherwise, calm, waiting to see how aarron would proceed.*

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:04:24 PM)
*he snorted lightly* What, did you think I was going to poke at his leg or something? How stupid do I look, really? *he pulled off the blindfold of the man with a bit of a disgruntled look on his face at the mere suggestion and then knelt down and began to pull out whatever tools he could find in the man's toolbox, laying them out easily in sight of where he was sitting in the chair*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:05:46 PM)
*Hacksaw, pliers, screwdriver, something mideval looking with sharp tips like a big ass fork...* What do you want? *Paul asked, softly...*

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:06:30 PM)
Pretty damn stupid *snorting, as she clenched and unclenched her bionic fist, eyes shifting to stare at Paul for a moment*

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:07:32 PM)
*he held up the fork thingy, turning it over slowly for a moment and then just set the tool down and shrugged his massive shoulders lightly* Want? Well, we just want to ask you a few questions. Get to know you. Think of this like a blind date, but a lot more fun.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:08:25 PM)
*he blinked* you're the two from the restraunt... okay. Okay. What do you want to know?

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:09:10 PM)
*he turned and looked at Paul now with a sigh* Well, we'll start simple. What's your name?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:09:45 PM)
Paul Amos.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:10:55 PM)
You work at the refinery, you're some kind of pipe maintenance type. About how many employees they got working there?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:11:49 PM)
((11/05/11 01:09:22 Akako Masako rolls 5 dice vs. diff of 6 to Charisma+ Subterfuge; Gift: Persuasion: 3, 4, 4, 3, 10 : 1 successes))

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:12:22 PM)
I'm a fitter technically. I dress pipe and fabricate things with a welder - we make replacements when pipes get old and start rusting out.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:12:54 PM)
*he thought for a moment...* There's about 500 employees? 300 or so work days, the other 200 work nights.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:13:26 PM)
And security, getting in and out? Lax, tight, check ID's real close?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:15:03 PM)
*he blinked* Security? I dunno, I got a key, I just swipe in and out....

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:15:12 PM)
It's not like there's anything in there to steal...

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:15:30 PM)
No guards or cameras once you're inside?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:17:37 PM)
*he shrugged* guards only work at the gates far as I know. I've never seen one inside. Why would they? Not like we're pumping liquid gold through those rusty ass old pipes.... why did you guys kidnap me?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:19:58 PM)
*glanced back at Paul* I'm not interest in stealing anything. Lets just say I'm not a fan of how your boss operates. And I really dislike his boss. Everyone up the chain...

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:20:44 PM)
*he shook his head lightly* Pauly my boy. You're the kidnappIE. Only the kidnappER gets to ask questions. So I wanted to know if there was a way to set up for an oil spill before it happens? You guys got an alarm or something that goes off? Like a fire alarm?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:22:03 PM)
*he blinked* All kinds of fire alarms, man, you ever hear of Texas City? One spark in the wrong time and place and *boom* Of course they got fire alarms. But, what do you mean set up for an oil spill? It's a refinery, it's always set up for a spill. We have drills every Friday.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:22:57 PM)
Ya don't say? So if say, there were to be an oil spill, the best time to have it would be Friday around...? *he held out his hands lightly for Paul to finish the sentance*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:24:48 PM)
Depends on the shift. 10 AM for the day shift, but 8 PM for the night shift...

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:25:35 PM)
*he was watching them* What are the odds I can get like, half a minute to take a leak?

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:26:20 PM)
*he nodded his head lightly* As soon as we finish with the questions we'll take care of the rest.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:26:38 PM)
Okay....

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:28:20 PM)
Simple questions buddy. Just answer them.. and if I like what you have to say, well... you might just see the sunrise.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:28:59 PM)
Now, I overheard you talking about the recyclers and the fact that you were dragging extra oil up there cause of yer boss, Tyrese? What do the recyclers do with that oil, where do they put it? *he rolled his eyes lightly at Akako as she tried to play bad cop and just continued along with his line of questions*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:30:58 PM)
*he blinked* There's a big fuels blending plant on the west side of the refinery, they take waste fuels and mix it all together and hump it into this big furnace to burn to make steam - it's like a miniature generator. If we have a bad power outage it can be used to keep the plants important shit running, so it doesn't get all fucked up or cold shut down. A cold shut down is bad new.s

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:31:30 PM)
Why is a cold shut down bad news?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:33:31 PM)
Because if the refinery cold shuts down the venturi towers all go off line, the pumps stop, the boilers begin to condense and coneal, everything has to be cleaned out, the whole system gums up. You ever see raw crude oil? The kind of high suphur, high parafin shit we get in the states? it's like fucking trying to pump play doh.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:35:00 PM)
So, a complete power shut down would turn everything into essentially a thick molasses? Would it make a spill less dangerous if that happened or is that already processed crap that tends to spill?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:36:57 PM)
It depends man, the stuff in the tanks can be finished gasoline, diesel, motor oil... the big tanks are usually finished product. The little tanks at the south of the plant are normally crude, because we have to take them off line and clean out the sludge so often. We only got one really big tank of Crude.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:37:38 PM)
When you put a million gallons in one place? it don't matter, it'll spill... but the finished product? That's money, we spend more effort keeping them tanks in shape.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:39:59 PM)
Where is the big tank of crude?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:41:00 PM)
Oh shit.... that's... 105 I think? big 2 million gallon son of a bitch mid-refinery. I don't know why they put crude in that, but the petroleum engineers got a plan for it.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:43:04 PM)
You haven't happened to notice any, strange people around the refinery lately have you? Maybe seem a little less then... sane? Kinda like her? *he thumbed over at Akako with a slight grin* Or people that ya don't know who are working there but yer not sure what they do?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:45:03 PM)
Strange? man, this is South Louisana... have you seen anyone who seems sane and normal? *he thought for a few moments...* Tyrese, he's an odd one, so is his boss, Falck, but I mean, no one unusually wacked out.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:46:43 PM)
You notice this Falck guy hangin out with a group of guys, probably same kind of weird vibe from 'em?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:48:51 PM)
No, Falck is a suit, he stays the hell out of the yard, but he has come into the workshop once or twice - mostly a few weeks back, we were working on the crude trasfer lines and he wanted some details on some inane shit.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:49:09 PM)
Like what?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 9:51:17 PM)
*crossed her arms, pacing back and forth in thought*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:51:59 PM)
Shit, the ID and OD of the pipes, how long it would take to fix things, what the secondary containment was able to withstand... just... shit he should have been able to call any engineer up and ask.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:52:20 PM)
was the only reason I ever even met this dude.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:52:54 PM)
So, mind filling me in with the details you gave him on this stuff?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:54:11 PM)
shit, I don't remember, it was like a 36 inch OD pipe with a 33 inch ID or something like that, it's just metallurgical crap, I bevel the steel and make some measurements....

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:55:17 PM)
What about the secondary containment?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:56:58 PM)
*He shrugged* it meets the OSHA requirement as far as I know. Mostly earthworks berms with geotextiles... there's some steel coffer damns at the river mouth.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 9:58:24 PM)
*he thought for a moment as he slowly pulled himself up to his feet and stretched lightly* Well, I think that about covers my questions. Unless my esteemed collegues can think of anything they want to ask? *he glanced to Akako and then back to CtS*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 9:59:19 PM)
*Corrupts the Signal looked to Akako* what you got?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:00:04 PM)
I've got nothing.. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with him after this. *sighed*

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:00:29 PM)
*he chuckled a bit* Would you not worry about it? I've got it all under control.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:01:32 PM)
*Corrupts the Signal smiled at Paul* I only got one question for you. Where's your security badge? *Paul blinked* In my wallet....

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:03:10 PM)
See, now all our problems are solved. I'm gonna take him to piss. *he reached into Paul's pocket first and grabbed the wallet, tossing it on the floor with the rest of the tools and then picked up something sharp he could work with to cut the duct tape* And I'll take care of the rest, yes?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:03:55 PM)
*Corrupts frowned, looked to Akako, then back to Aarron, and nodded once*

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:06:45 PM)
*he began to cut the duct tape from Paul, though keeping a nice firm grip on his shoulder in case he got any bright ideas* Alright, out back we go.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:08:54 PM)
*Paul allowed himself to be led - these people, they fucking freaked him out, he was too scared to try anything cute....*

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:10:33 PM)
*shaking her head faintly* Could clone the card, but if they have someone watching their access control, they'll notice his card logging in multiple times...

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:11:35 PM)
*Corrupts the Signal nodded* We need to hack the system and look closely at the card, we can counterfeit a few. By the way, after Aarron leaves, stick around for a few. We gots to talk.

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:13:52 PM)
So, I'm really sorry about this. *and he took him out back where he would let the poor man piss in peace, so at least he felt a moment of relief before in his glabro form, the grip of his two massive hands wrenching the man's head around like it was a twist top on a bottle of soda and the sickening popping sound of his neck breaking caused a moment's pause from the local night life creatures before they once again took up the call once again, he would drag the body close to the house to be dealt with on his departure, he would take it out deep into the bayou somewhere and drop it off to be a snack for a gator, he came back into the house in homid and nodded his head lightly to the two of them* Good to go. *he walked over to the man's wallet, looking in it for his driver's lisence and after reading the address dropped it back on the floor* Need anything else from me tonight Corrupts the Signal-rhya?

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:15:27 PM)
*Corrupts the Signal shook his head* All's well Aarron. I need to talk to Akako for about ten minutes, but we're done here. You got the body?

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:15:59 PM)
Yup, gonna take it out to the swamps and leave it as a snack for some hungry reptile.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:18:10 PM)
Good man. Yeah, we're done. *he turned to Akako* walk with me a minute. *he picked up a cold beer from the fridge and walked out into the garage to wait for Akako....*

Aarron St. James (Nov 4, 2011 10:18:59 PM)
*and with nothing else needed of him he walked back outside and picked up the body and headed off into the swamps to ditch it near some nest of gators or the like, anywhere that he would not be found*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:21:43 PM)
*he sipped the beer. The garage was lit by two hanging flourescent fixtures.* Time for the talk. I know what I'm giving you for your challenge. Before I do, I wanted to talk to you.

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:23:47 PM)
If its about all that *thumbed away* I hate people... they're unreliable... but still.. he was a vet... lost his leg serving this country... and.. now.. he's food for...some lizard. *sighed* How do they let themselves fall such lengths....

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:27:10 PM)
*he shook his head* If the brief you two gave me was right, he was a vet, but he was sick in the head and staling an innocent girl. we didn't get him the job at Endron. Listen up. Acknowledge it then move past it. Akako Masako, your challenge for rank is this: you are to learn the rite of the Fetish, and create a fang dagger. This serves two purposes - first, you are a theurge, you should be skilled enough to fashion a fetish and manage to entrain a spirit within it. The second part of this challenge is that you must not rely on weaver tools - you are challenging for Adren, you should have learned to be flexible by now, prove it. Do you understand this challenge I have laid out before you?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:29:23 PM)
*purses lips in thought* So, I'm not allowed to use an weaver tools in the crafting of the vessel... that could make things problematic. *scratched her cheek*..

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:31:40 PM)
*He smiled* You MAY use your hand, but all tools, the crafting of the vessel, must all be done with natural tools or tools you craft with only your hands and natural materials - basically, no store - bought involved. Think you can manage that?

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:32:58 PM)
*glanced towards him for a moment* I accept your challenge *grinned* As such, I've already started into negotiations with Grandmother Hilma, to learn the rite

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:35:26 PM)
Good. Akako? Don't fuck this one up. You really want to make up for that last stunt you pulled, impress me and make it good. *He sipped his beer* We're getting closer to moving on Endron, we may need it. When you're done with the fang dagger, bring it to me, Once I approve it, I'll anounce you Adren, and you can keep it, give it away, whatever the hell you wanna do with it after that.

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:37:23 PM)
*snorted* I thought I already made it up to you atleast once.. You know that time you decided to shove your whole arm into a barrel of bane, and let Swiftfox, stick a spear into your arm...

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:40:31 PM)
*He smiled at Akako* You're gonna be making that up to me until you die kid. *he finished his beer and dropped it in the trash* The hand was an amusing touch. Now I want to see if you can *use* it for the kind of work it takes to make a feiths.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:41:16 PM)
(Make a Fetish. What the HELL was that?)

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:42:43 PM)
(dont ask me!) *grinned* I think my replacement limb looks rather fetching.

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:43:46 PM)
*He took hold of the hand, pursed his lips, and shook his head* It looks just fine for a robotic hand... but it don't look near as good to me as a real one. Now, if you'll excuse me, I got work to do, and you need to start planning how you're going to make a fang dagger.

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:44:14 PM)
*nodding briefly* Sir yes, Sir

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:45:59 PM)
*He waved her off and headed out*

Corrupts the Signal (Nov 4, 2011 10:46:40 PM)
(Okay - yes, you did right by already talking to Grandmother Hilma - the challenge is just as it states - you can do portions through blue booking but the actual negotiations with a spirit will have to be a scene when you get to that part.)

Akako Masako (Nov 4, 2011 10:46:54 PM)
