Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:04:12 AM)
*appears at the appointed time, Precisely. A gentleman in a tailored brown suit waits at the side of the ship*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:05:13 AM)
**The Yacht boyed lazily in the water, tethered amidst the few other pleasure boats. Technically it was a catamaran though Usel hadnt bought it for his love of the ocean but more for the inconspicuous dumping ground the ocean proved to be. Leaning on the polished bough, he watched as the man approached, holding up a hand in greeting** You keep good time

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:06:33 AM)
**He threw down the gangway and motioned the man aboard**

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:06:55 AM)
*Stepping up from the galley as she hears Rohans voice Sophie smiles in simple responce to the presence of the ocean, the short denim skirt and simple white shirt doing little to improve Rohans image of a high flying businessman. Seeing the tailored gentleman, her lovely smile was directed his way as she stepped onto the deck and moved to stand beside the slayer.*

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:09:29 AM)
(brb phone)

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:10:56 AM)
*the gentleman nods lightly and calls up* I keep good Everything. *a hint of a smile as he moves up the narrow walk and onto the ship, he carries a slim leather folio with him, and Rohans' practiced eye would note that he's carrying a broad barrelled weapon at the small of his back* It's good to see you Mister McAllister.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:11:12 AM)
((Sorry about the delay, phone call nabbed me))

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:13:10 AM)
As it is to meet you **he extended a hand, smiling amiably. Rohan dressed always with intention. Today he wore a simple black long sleeved T and slacks though the Tour de l’Ile wrist watch would tell anyone of means that he was a man with both taste and resources** Please this way... White wine or late enough for something stronger?

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:13:15 AM)
(me also :) back now)

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:14:47 AM)
**A comfortable table set on the deck sat under an airy white sun sail, white wine on ice and Lillies in a clear glass vase**

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:14:51 AM)
*Leaning back against the railing Sophie watched the interchange curiously, her own understanding of the business world limited to episodes of one drama or another on the television, the sudden idea that she could now be in the middle of one bringing an added sparkle to the lovely lammasu's features.*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:15:56 AM)
*he shifts the case to the other hand and reaches to shake briefly, very much the businessman* I am Mister Christopher, currently an assistant to Mister Ridley.. though it isn't a permanent position. Wine would be lovely. *following afterward and giving Sophie a polite nod*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:17:36 AM)
Allow me to introduce my collegue, Sophie Willows. She will be acting as a consultant as neccessary. **he indicates a chair and moves to pour three wines**

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:18:20 AM)
That also is a temporary position **he flashes his perfect teeth**

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:18:49 AM)
*She nodded in reply, it did after all seem the done thing, the smile never leaving her lips as that aura of light and faintly whispered divinity leaked in gentle waves from her, her voice when she spoke such a thing of beauty that it almost stole the breath of those who heard it.* A pleasure to meet you.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:20:28 AM)
*he remains standing, though he rests the edge of the case on the table's corner* The pleasure is undoubtedly mine. And while his smile warms considerably for the beautiful woman before him, his eyes remain flat and cool*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:21:28 AM)
*Mr. Christopher is a gentleman of just below average height, light build and a strangely severe young face framed by greying temples and short sandy hair. A finely tailored brown pinstripe suit is his only real concession to vanity, italian leather shoes finish the look. His eyes though, are schooled to present only a polite interest to the onlookers, depthless reflections in watery blue. He keeps his hands folded neatly over the leatherbound file case that rests on its end at the table before him.* Thank you, for the wine, Mister McAllister. *though..he makes no move to taste it*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:22:44 AM)
**Across from the marina, a seadoo buzzed across the surf behind them as Rohan took his seat** So... Mr Eamon Marduke. Am I to peruse and question, or are you merely.. dropping off?

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:23:09 AM)
*Stepping forward Sophie takes her own wine glass with a smile, watching curiously as the two men interact.*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:24:40 AM)
I was brought in to answer what I may of your questions in this endeavor, and..*his fingers shifting slightly on the folio to open it and retrieve two plain folders from within it, handing one to each without looking down at his hands* to deliver the dossier, of course.

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:25:45 AM)
*She takes the dossier without hesitation, moving over to take a seat and cross her legs as she abandons the wine glass and places it upon the table before her.*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:26:09 AM)
**Usel knew of the councils reputation and while he had little time for the chattle of other Infernals, he was playing cautiously while theior hand was yet to be played. he glanced to Sophie and then back** Well lets begin shall we. Where is he?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:28:10 AM)
Mr. Marduke is within the city limits, and we expect him to remain so for the next month. He is overseeing a merger that we are ensuring will be slow and resistant no matter what pressure he applies to it.

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:29:20 AM)
Is he working from the offices? *She looked to Mr Christopher in question.*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:30:22 AM)
Intermittently. He prefers to avoid the building and staff when possible..one of his developing quirks. *he rests his hands on the folio's edge again, watery blue gaze fixed on Rohan, despite that he was quick to answer Sophie's query*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:31:33 AM)
((And if you would like to make an Awareness check, you're welcome to. Just PM me your results.))

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:31:46 AM)
So he is yet to go to ground. Of late, many of his instructions have been vague at best, not to mention the ever growing list of targets that say far more about his paranoia than his actual awareness.. **he thinks** This will make him far more accessable. can we set up a specific meeting for this merger at an office space we set up?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:37:32 AM)
Is it still paranoia, if we really are.. after him? *his smile turning a bit wry, but he nods to Rohan's inquiry* Yes. That, and the information in this exchange, are the limits of the assistance the board can provide though.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:40:36 AM)
While I am confident I can resolve this issue quickly, I will take any advantage you're able to offer whilst he is still operating in some official capacity. **He looks Mr Chistopher in the eye, remaining impassive** Then make it so. I will need access to the building twenty four hours before hand to ..prepare the field, and of perhaps a couple of office juniors to give the meeting some credibility. What about the man's profile, what can we expect of his defensive capabilities? What is he likely to do when threatened?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:45:17 AM)
Access to the building may betray your presence, as Mr. Marduke usually has his staff check the locations before he arrives. But you are welcome to risk it if you choose. He travels with a minimum of two assistants and and a .. forgive me Mr. McAllister.. How freely may I speak before your lovely Associate? *finally turning to acknowledge Sophie again politely, before looking back at Rohan and lofting a brow*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:46:02 AM)
Ms Willows is beyond reproach

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:46:43 AM)
*She smiles the dazzling expression towards Mr Christopher.* Which of course means that most find it beyond them to attempt to reproach me. You may speak freely before me.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:48:46 AM)
**he smiles a little at that** I merely wish to prepare the building, seal sections and the like so that I can control the field of fire as best I can. I will 'engage' Marduke only as a last resort. While I am quite sure he is confident in his abilities as an... old soul ..*he grins coldly* he may well forget just how mortal he has become

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:49:03 AM)
*He smiles courteously and turns to put both of them in his view* Mr. Marduke travels with a sworn servant for a bodyguard, and at least one of his associates has had similar grooming and training to yourself, Mister McAllister.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:49:16 AM)
Though obviously, the associate is a lesser power.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:49:26 AM)
**nods** Obviously

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:50:28 AM)
We regret that he has been most loyal to Mr. Marduke, and may be lost entirely if he intercedes in the intended events. We will accept the loss, if it is absolutely necessary.

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:51:02 AM)
*Her fingers playing along the edges of the folder she looks to Mr Christopher.* If we organise a date to act, can your employers perhaps organise for him to be at the office after hours for a video conference?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 6:54:15 AM)
*he tilts his head up, surprised somewhat* Mm.. That would present considerably less percieved risk to Mr. Marduke... I believe that would be possible, Ms. Willows. *he nods to her*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:55:43 AM)
Understand Mr Christopher, that I have likewise been loyal to Mr Marduke. In agreeing to this contract, I know that I free him from a mortal cage that has failed him. I do not doubt that his reassignment will be fitting to his former station. **as he speaks, he maintains a civil tone, but his dead eyes tell volumes of his rare sincerity. He looks to Sophie** That will put him in a fixed location of our choosing... nice touch

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 6:57:28 AM)
*She smiles at Rohan with a careless wink.* I keep telling you I'm not just a pretty face.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 6:57:47 AM)
**he dips his head in agreement**

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:01:01 AM)
*at the demonstraton of Rohans' loyalty..the cool mask slips, ever so slightly, but Christopher nods and recovers his composure as he observesthe interplay between the two Fallen*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:02:40 AM)
I ask again however, what defensive abilities is he likely to manifest?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:05:44 AM)
*he opens the folio on the table* In the briefings I have provided you, is a loose dossier of his work for the company previous to taking on a management position. I must caution you, that since his instatement as such, his field work has been..almost non-existent..and we have little knowledge of his progress or martial development in the past 7 years.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:08:57 AM)
((And forgive me as I pull up that info and paste it inhere for ya, systems stuff is my weak point atm! ^_^ ))

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:09:00 AM)
I am quite adept and projecting for a possible target, as I'm sure My dossier has told you **he Usel flashes his teeth once again. While amenable now, Rohan's paperwork would read like a Demon's resume, Kill after confirmed kill, irrespective of background, age or gender- all past obstructions to PaX interests** If we have a foundation, we can build from it

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:09:27 AM)
Seven years is some time. *She continues to run her fingers along the edge of the folder.* Two elohim, one of whom has considerable power and at least one bound bodyguard. We must attempt to seperate him from his companion if at all possible.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:09:41 AM)
((thats fine, an quick fpm when you have it would be great))

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:11:06 AM)
**Not willing to talk trade in front of Christopher he answers Sophie** If possible and if neccesary. Having him in a controlled location should prove the deciding factor

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:11:32 AM)
Simplicity is it's own reward *smirks*

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:12:07 AM)
*She laughs softly at that, her eyes remaining upon Rohan.* How long do we have? One month was it?

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:12:23 AM)
((I can do that this afternoon. I'll send it on to each of you, and you can include James and Esmae in the planning later by sending it their way. Thank you. ^_^))

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:14:21 AM)
Correct. *he answers Sophie evenly* More than that and we will be provoking suspicions that would hurt your efforts, rather than aid them.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:15:31 AM)
That gives us time to make a few alterations to the building **to Mr Christopher** of which we will need the location of asap

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:15:37 AM)
(Absolutely and thank you! :) )

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:16:24 AM)
*Her face turning to the side she speaks softly to Rohan.* Floor plans would also help.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:16:24 AM)
*lifts his hand to dip manicured fingers into the dark jacket, withdrawing a business card with the address of one of Titan's offices in town*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:17:04 AM)
The video conferencing facilities are in rooms 414 and 416. We will use 414 for the appointment.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:17:47 AM)
Excellent. **mentally running off a list - locksmith, glazier and a box of hollow points**

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:18:53 AM)
*Sophie nods and turns to Mr Christopher.* Can you please obtain floor plans and details of the buildings security systems for us?

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:19:43 AM)
That includes a staff list of internal security and work schedules

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:19:50 AM)
I will have them sent to Mr. McAllister's office this afternoon. *another polite nod*

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:20:23 AM)
Then I think we are about done here. **he looks to Sophie* Willows?

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:24:17 AM)
*She nods to Rohan with a smile.* I think we have all that we need and a clear idea of what has to be done.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:28:09 AM)
*he closes up the folio neatly and smiles perfunctorily to them pair* Then I shall retire to my office and send on the information on the building's floorplans that you've requested, along with a date and time for this video conference. We will have to send the other CEO abroad, it will be a few days in maneuvering him ..to allow the reasons for the trip time to present duly.

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:29:36 AM)
**nods and stands** Then Mr Christopher, I believe we have concluded our business here. Please convey my assurances to the council that this unfortunate business will be resolved forthwith. Oh... and be sure to have My offices ready *he smiles broadly, though it doesn't reach his eyes**

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:29:59 AM)
Thank you. *She turns that beautiful smile to Mr Christopher.* We can take care of everything else.

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:30:38 AM)
*smile back with the same lack of sincerity* Of course, we'll have a cleaning crew waiting, shall we?

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:32:35 AM)
I'll leave those small details to your capable hands sir

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:32:41 AM)
*with that brief quip, he inclines his head over the folio in his hands, then lifts the wine glass to take a sip* A fine vintage, thank you. *and turns to take himself back out and down the gangplank*

Mr. Christopher (Mar 4, 2011 7:33:09 AM)
(This user is now known as D)

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:33:34 AM)
**Looks to Sophie with a subtle smile** And so it begins

D (Mar 4, 2011 7:33:55 AM)
((Ookies, I know it's late for you two, I will fpm you each the dossier on Marduke's known capabilities. Any other questions for me, or research rolls etc you'd like to employ?))

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:34:03 AM)
*She smiles and watches Mr Christopher go leaning over to reach for a pen and writing a word upon the inside of the folder. Angling it towards Rohan he reads "Property of Tahansth".* We will need James to ensure that the police do not answer calls to that building that night.

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:34:41 AM)
(I wouldn't mind doing a legacy roll on the name Tahansth to see if Sophie can recall his titles, legion, faction etc?)

D (Mar 4, 2011 7:35:12 AM)
((Have at it! ^_^))

Rohan McAllister (Mar 4, 2011 7:36:20 AM)
((well that was a pretty damn cool scene, thanks heapsly... Nothing off the top of my head other than a shot at a leg roll on the name... and I will request a few small things on the xp thread such as a box of rounds, using my weapons industry influence to speed delivery and hush the destination buyer))

D (Mar 4, 2011 7:37:18 AM)

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:40:38 AM)

D (Mar 4, 2011 7:41:07 AM)
((Eminence I've got. Thank you. lol I'm just trying to find the "Blah sux on this roll gives you 2 facts about said name...etc" chart.))

D (Mar 4, 2011 7:41:52 AM)
((So you're rolling at diff 5, I just can't find how much info you'll be getting for the sux! lol)()

Sophie Willows (Mar 4, 2011 7:43:54 AM)
