Reb Riveira’s Apartment
Lien’s address takes Reaver and Zeeb to one of the more run-down areas in Pembroke Gardens. The building is a prefab metallic foam apartment complex: dark grey walls with a definite preference of functionality over architectural aesthetics. The people who walk around look shady at best; among the crowd there are several obvious Triad gangsters peddling organic drugs, petals and illegal XPs.
The main door of the building is wide open, and occasionally a person will enter or leave through it. From outside, a main staircase can be seen. The address points to an apartment on the third floor.
Jeeves pops up in Reaver’s entoptics, a balding man wearing a butler uniform consisting of a suit and red tie. “It seems like Sarah does remember that unfortunate incident. Maybe we could try to check with someone else in the @ network, but I’m sure Sarah is now aware you’re looking for information there and will try to hinder your progress.”

But it was her uncle that you put in cold storage for 5 years.
Yeah. I guess it's true about scorned women. Story of my life.
As this is taking place, Reaver sets the security on his bike, takes a drink from his water bottle and scans his TacNet for any sign of Zeeb.

"Hey, now that's not fair man. I got you here didn't I?"
"Yeah, after practically taking me back to earth first, you planned such a roundabout way."
"You know I'm not great with public transit. Maybe you should get your own transport like one of those new cycles instead of blowing your money on a CM."
"You know what, that's going to be very useful. Point is you screwed up and it's all your fault."
Sarcastically "Aww..."
He then turns to Reaver. "Anyway, what's up?"

The stairs look sturdy, being made of the same metallic alloy as the rest of the building. The place seems even more run-down inside: scratch marks on the walls, brown grime on the floor and trash littered in the hallways.
Finally, Reaver and Zeeb reach the apartment number five in the third floor- Reb Riveira's apartment. The hallway is deserted and cold, the only noise heard is that of a low hum coming from apartment seven, most likely a group of Tibetan authentics in meditation. Zeeb tries the door to Riveira's apartment, but finds it locked.

The pair enters a small, single room apartment with a separate bathroom door to the right. A single-sized aerogel bed takes up most of the wall opposite from the apartment's entrance, its sheets are messy and somewhat dirty. To the left a small kitchen set is littered with the remains of insta-meal packages. Paper, average lined paper like the type seen back in the 20th century, clutters the entire room. Picking one up, Reaver notices that it has Portuguese handwriting. The slightly blue-tinged light above matches the coldness felt inside the room.
[OOC] To look around the room, you can make Perception or Investigation rolls to search around the room. To read through the papers you can give me a Research roll, and a complementary skill is Portuguese for a +30 although I don't think any of you know it- you can still read them using translators but it will be at a -10 penalty.

The first pile of papers is not only in Portuguese, but it also deals with important technical details regarding chemical and biological terraforming techniques associated with the Tharsis Terraforming Office. Looking through them, Reaver finds chemical formulas, genetic arrangements and geographical data on future terraforming efforts.
Jeeves appears in Reaver's entoptics, looking surprised. "Sir, I believe this could be important information regarding the terraforming projects of the TTO. I'm sure that they would not like this data to become public knowledge and it could serve as leverage against them if needed. Or, we could give these plans to another faction, I'm sure they would be glad to receive it though the Tharsis League could resent that."
Reaver also find what seem to be a few pages that do not match the other sheets. Looking through them, the data is not like the others: they are mathematical calculations and programming information. It seems obvious that Riveira was attempting to write down a piece of software, though what it was supposed to be is not immediately apparent.
A last pile of papers are dedicated to what seems to be like a daily planner. In it, Riveira lists out his daily schedule, Mesh accounts with their respective passwords, contact information including those of Barsoomian and Firewall contacts, and more personal information.
Richard pops up in Zeeb's entoptics, a curious look in his eye.
"Y'know, I was kinda interested as to why this guy would write down so much, seeing as he had a Menton morph and nowadays everyone simply writes with their Mesh inserts. I did a bit of research on my own and it seems like scientists working with governmental affairs are assigned Morphs that have no long-term memory. It helps to make sure that secrets do not leave their work-place. Their muses are programmed to lead them on through the day and only remind them of what they have been programmed to remind them. If that wasn't enough, their base memories are often edited and they tend to go through a lot of psychosurgery. A pretty sad existence indeed."
Richard shakes his head
"I guess this guy must have wanted a semblance of memories that were not tampered by the government. It's actually pretty interesting- he stopped using his muse and his Mesh inserts, and instead reverted to plain old writing to keep track of his memory. I guess when technology is so much a part of our daily lives, we forget that non-technological means exist to do the exact same things."
: csr556 February 23, 2011, 12:45:31 PM
Reaver takes a look at the daily planner, trying to make some sense of it. If there are dates, or an apparent order, he will look for the last entry. "Zeeb, we have three categories here: TTO terraforming - useful for the Barsoomians and TTO, some type of software program notes - beyond my skills, and a list of Barsoomian and Firewall contacts and a daily diary. I'm thinking that the TTO information could help me get back into my contacts good graces in the Movement. It could also be an 'Ace in the Hole' if we need to go after something they are doing. What do you think?"
Jeeves, send a message to the others quickly - look for anything that has to do with software engineering or TTO Terraforming. It may help narrow things down for them.

I had hoped this wouldn't affect our business relationship as much as it has. However, I have some interesting documentation on TTO terra-forming that I think you may be interested in.
If you find these interesting enough, please let me know. I still need some information on an ego named Shango if you would be so kind.

There's no way that he can roll higher than Reaver and get a success, so Reaver will not be surprised by the man.

While cycling through his X-ray vision, Reaver sees movement behind a large dumpster. However, as soon as he notices it, he hears the recognizable sound of a baton being unfolded, as well as the sharp tick sound of electric current being deployed. The man jumps out, the shock baton at a practiced position ready to make contact. In the few miliseconds before his combat instincts take over, Reaver realizes that the black duster was actually a chameleon cloak, and that only because of Reaver's enhanced vision did the cloak not give the man an advantage in this confrontation.

Opening the lock in Riveira's apartment proves easy enough for Zeeb, while Reaver deposits the man in the crummy bed. The blue-tinged light and the coldness in the room have not changed since they last entered.
Now in better light, the agents take a better look at the man. He is bald, with no eyebrows. He is sleeved in a Ruster morph, an athletic build with a light orange skin tone. Reaver recognizes the man's black duster as that of a Martian Ranger, though it is worn and dusty with the insignias peeled off.
A wound is on his forehead where he hit the pavement and the man is still out cold. Checking his pockets, they find several empty vials of recreational drugs for Mono no Aware and Buzz. They also find an empty red capsule with a silver key symbol stamped on it.

Apparently, there is a new petal nanodrug on the market. It is called Key, as in the key to unlock the doors of perception. From what Richard manages to find, it is a relatively new petal which gives the feeling of removing all the mental barriers that the brain has to provide an unfiltered look at the physical and mental world. Users have said that it is one of the best trips, one that leads to transcendence of the spirit and complete understanding of all things.
The drug is shaped like a red flower, with users taking a petal and ingesting it to experience the trip. Smaller petals are also plucked and stored in small vials, for a single trip experience.
Little information is found as to how to acquire this drug, or who manufactures it. However, criminal contacts might have a better understanding on the situation.

[Jeeves: We're leaving TTO now. We have the contents of Jakuta's workstation. Also, be advised, we intercepted the following from Murrak Aghassi.
----
To whom it may concern,
At 1837 hours, military sensors set up in the outer perimeters of the cordoned area known as the TITAN Quarantine Zone reported a strong spike in electromagnetism. This was followed by increased activity of nanoswarms and TITAN-created machines in the Zone. This electromagnetic pulse temporarily disabled several civilian and military satellites which happened to be orbiting the area close to the TQZ. Thankfully, no habitats were affected by this burst of electromagnetic radiation.
The reasons for this event are as of yet unknown. There is also no clear location pinpointing the origin of the burst, except that it was somewhere close to the center of the TQZ, from the area known as the White Zone.
As a response to this event, the Tharsis League’s security branches went on full alert and begun to take defensive measures directed at the TQZ. This includes mobilizing the military to the TQZ, more contracts with Direct Action and Gorgon Defense Systems, and temporarily requisitioning the Maglev systems to assist in the mobilization.
News of this event are still out of the media channels though we expect this to end in the next hour. We are expecting panic and rioting in the streets. I hope that it does not come to that, as we have spread our security forces too thin by moving many of these groups to the TQZ.
There has not been this level of activity coming from the TQZ. I worry that this might be a portent of another TITAN attack, I will pray that this is not the case.

His voice progressively goes from calm and collected to maddening whispering. His eyes are open, with a death stare aimed at Reaver.
"I still remember your face, murderer. I told command about you and they threatened me with expulsion. You're the reason I'm out on the streets, no rep nor credits, with my memories edited to shit."
Spittle flies from his mouth as he progressively raises his voice.
"But I managed to remember, I remember now everything that happened."
He glances at the Key vial that Zeeb is holding, then shouts.
"You ruined my life you son of a bitch. I don't have anything left now. I don't even have a back-up insurance. Kill me like you did with your teammates. I'll never rest until you're dead."

Jeeves, check everything you can! See if those memories might be hidden like the others.
Reaver starts to shake his head, "I wouldn't do that. I knew those guys. We fought the TITANs together. They were my friends."

Standing near the closed doorway, Oriole can't help but take a peek outside to see if the man's yelling is generating attention outside. His motions precise and practiced, the rock-red clad Firewall agent moves to stand in view of the conversation.
"Possible mnemonic tampering." Oriole says, glancing towards Reaver. "Do I understand correctly that this man's memories are not what he claims them to be? I would not judge you if what he is saying is true."

"So you may have been tampered with as well." Oriole says flatly from his position by the wall. Folding his arms, he gets a far-away look on his face while he's working on something. "I would advise everyone to make sure that their firewalls are at maximum security and if any intrusions are detected to alert the rest of us."

Jeeves finds nothing in his memory banks. "I'm sorry sir, but my data files have been severly edited and I cannot confirm or deny his assertions."

The man stays silent while the Firewall agents discuss this change of events. He looks like the angry outburst drained him, the tiredness barely contained by the Ranger conditioning.

Turning his eyes back to the hostage in the room, Oriole frowns. "My scan of the terminal shows no evidence of a virus, so the data is secure, and it appears that this gentleperson has suffered tampering as well."
"Sir?" Oriole says, trying to get the hostage's attention. "It appears that both you and this gentleman are the subjects of some form of mnemonic tampering. I would consider your memories about this man, at least for the time being, as being implanted for some sort of directive. You said your memories were shot to shit, then this means that your memories about this man could also be implanted. In your luck we are not murderers, so let's try to figure this out. Can you think to why or who told you to come to this apartment?"

Jeeves flashes at the edge of Reaver's vision, so as to not intrude between Reaver's view of the man. Sir, checking on public channels I cannot get any information on this man. We would need to check with the Hypercorp networks to find out if this man is who he claims to be. If his memories are edited, we may not be able to trust his real identity. We could also ask him what his name is as well."

Jeeves, go ahead and check with our contacts. With our rating, you may want to send this to everyone else as well.
