yo

looking for some information on the lower bits of the cities and other shit

1: who has a decent amount of experience dealing with their bullcrap?
2: the "underground crimelords". anyone got names? physical descriptions? rumors? weird bits of tmi no one ever wanted to hear?
3. four shadiest bars/"gathering locations". you know exactly what i mean
4. narcotics. heard a lot of whispers about high death rates. anyone tested substances for an idea of what's in them? what bits of brain they effect? what's causing those deaths, or is it the standard respiratory issues?

5. where the hell did all the dogs go?

1. The most experienced of us have been here just over a month, so I doubt anyone's heavily engaged with the underground in between the kaiju and human trafficking incidents.
2. See above.
3. That being said, I might know a place.
4. Morningstar has tested biological samples for us before. They may be open to helping you, if you can provide samples of the narcotics. There are individuals among us with greater medical expertise than myself, [ he won't @ stephen because that's a given, and clarke's a good egg, no need to direct a sketchy dude her way. ] but I can make educated guesses as to what's in use, if I observe those affected.
5. They don't have the resources to support household pets. Sustainability and cost issues.

[ his coworkers bitch about how their posh boss has a cat now. it's a whole thing. ]

[reneger]

( don't judge him. )

a month's plenty of time to pick up information

( there's a 'maybe don't be a slacker' comment that goes unspoken. )

what place?

[retravel]

you've been out for a day or two
plenty of time to pick up information

what are you up to, mr. malone?
and five is an excellent question.

[reneger]

shenanigans

[fledges]

you know how sketchy this sounds, don't you?
p.s. "matches"? seriously?

1-3. Better to explore for yourself. I've got a job as security at one, but I haven't looked into the others enough to compare. And no one trusts me enough yet to gossip with me.
4. Ask @clarke.griffin
5. Why?

[reneger]

security?
tell me more about that

[ oh, neat. the alias that landed her half-dead and banned from the batcave. how fun. ]

is this post brought to us by the letters r and h?

[ she's nice enough to not say "j" this time. ]

[reneger]

aw, steph
you remembered my name

Planning a drug bust?

[reneger]

who's asking?

@markus.manfred

[saviorexe]

Diving headfirst into trouble?

I can provide the names of a few locations that are less than reputable. I can't say how they compare to what you might have already learned from others here, though.

[Markus spends a lot of time exploring in the weeks he's been here, and that includes the questionable, lower levels of the city.]

[reneger]

still useful regardless
what are the names?

@noctis.sky

[fessus]

I've seen some dogs. Are you looking for a certain one or something?

Idk a lot about the rest of it but it's weird stuff to ask about, why four bars exactly?

[reneger]

correlations between the first four bars that come to the minds of whoever responds
shadiest ones will come up more than others

not a specific dog

@connor.resnik, MORE BULLSHIT

[cyberlife]

I don't have many answers to your questions, Matches, as I'm still in the primary stages of my investigations, but I will do what I can to add to your list of things to check out.

1. No experience in particular, but I am familiar with governments and corporations, how they sour with the wrong kind of leadership, and how New Amsterdam's might be involved - typically it's monetary gain
2. The perpetrators behind the consistent incidents of human trafficking we've been dealing with have begun to purposely drop their victims off like they're performing field tests, which makes my current theory experimental weaponry
3. I've been to two bars in my line of work as a Safety Officer, Verleiden VR and the Kataztrofee, then in the Birch Street tunnel where the mod market is typically held... but you're familiar with that place already, aren't you?
4. @clarke.griffin, as mentioned by Bellamy, is our resident chemist (or should be if she isn't one already) and her findings isolated the drug that forces us to comply with any orders given while under its influence - as far as I know, this hasn't amounted to anything, but it does bring us a step closer to tracing its source by manufacturer
5. I haven't encountered any on my daily walks to and from work, unfortunately, so I am as confused as you😟

Hope this helps, if only a little.

(he's so long-winded.......)

1/2 i'm so sorry

[reneger]

a safety officer?
that's boring

[reneger]

tell me about your experience with government and corporations
what were you doing before you landed here?

@hafid.alghul / private

[batricide]

Could you be any more obvious?

[reneger]

your job is to be stealthy
mine is to get information in any way possible
that's what teams are for, right?
