Great! thought Alfred, immediately shooting off a quick Be there with bells on to Tex. Followed immediately by a greeeeaaaaaat as he looked at the clock, and realized how much time he had before the end of the day. Al works a late shift, in case he's got to miss some time later in the week, and gives himself just enough time to go home, put on his jacket and goggles, spike his hair, and head to the Sage.

As he enters, Al gives Hardline a wave, and Gabriel a respectful head-nod. He leans back against the wall for Josiah's presentation, and once it's done, reads over the dossier one more time while everyone is (rightfully) chewing out Johnson Jr. He turns it upside down and shakes it to make sure there aren't any pages stuck together or anything, that that really is all of the information.

"Hey, Josiah, not to jump on the dogpile here--we will need to talk about payment--but... is this it?" He holds up the dossier. "This looks like you just went on the 'net and downloaded the press release for the auction. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to know the date and address and all... but we're gonna need a little more background than that if we don't want this going sideways.

If you think you might need muscle, I can follow at a distance, but I don't think you want me riding along; I don't exactly blend in.>>

Saying a quick goodbye to Tex, Alfred shoots off a quick message to the group: No dice on the dance party at the Sage tomorrow; anyone got another venue?

Al spends his day the same way he's spent every day for the past six months: watching explosions in the Saeder-Krupp Chemicals laboratory. He was working on Project Blast Brigade, which is much less interesting than it sounds: his team was on contract to the heavy mining machines division, looking to lower the weight and/or increase the blast power of Saeder-Krupp's commercial explosives, in order to cut down on overhead. The morning meeting was the same as it ever was: supervisors look over the previous days' results, tell the wageslaves which formulas to pursue, ask them to up their output (as if the wageslaves could alter the physical laws of the universe), and sent them on their way. Mostly, it just served to make the supervisors look productive.

Al's meeting with Redi was much more productive. He simply wrote out the shopping list:

3 hardshell cases, 1@12, 2@1, need tomorrow.

1@1 instead of 12 fine if 12 not doable.

Wrapped it around a 700 cred stick, and tossed it into the garbage can in the hallway in front of Redi as Al walked by. He should hear back from him soon, probably from a single-use number contacting Al's burner.

All in a day's work: 9d6t5 2

Al had had better days; he was feeling a bit distracted by the forthcoming run, and he only barely managed to hit his typical goal of "probably good enough to not get fired." Not on the path to "big things," as far as the company was concerned.

Al wasn't exactly a regular at cd /d E:\rs (pronounced "cedars"), but he had been there a few times before. It was mostly populated by low-level dataslaves and wannabe deckers, the kind of people who got a kick out of the name, and the fact that the owner/bartender--a chromed-out Mexican dwarf--is named Raymundo Sanchez (RS; get it?). Also, the kind of people who didn't pay a ton of attention to what was going on in the real world around them, unlikely to notice that the guy who walked in with a couple of briefcases wasn't the guy who walked out with them, which made it a good place for seeing Redi. Additional perks included a mean queso (Raymundo knew his Tex Mex) and cheap drink specials (usually the drain cleaner they used as well liquor plus whatever energy drink had managed to fall off a truck that morning).

Whether Redi would stick around for a couple of drinks or just dead drop the cases Al didn't know, but he figured while he was waiting, he may as well try to take care of another logistical issue: using Raymundo's back room for a "card game" that night. Al didn't know him terribly well, but Ray was unlikely to want to gain a reputation as a narc in his line of work, and even if it cost a few nuyen, the peace of mind was probably worth it. Trying to get away from one of the regulars who had had a few too many Iluminados (the special)--who was trying for the fourth time to explain the origin of the bar's name (something about an ancient computer interface, which Al could not possibly care less about)--without making a scene, Al ordered two more specials, one for him, and one to hopefully push his new "friend" past wired and into unconsciousness.

Alfred briefly takes a look at the two cases, opening them, knocking on them a couple of times. "Yeah, looks great. And yeah, work sucks. Work always sucks. That's why I moonlight." Setting the cases beneath the table, he dips a chip into the queso, takes a big bite, and leans back. "This place definitely has its charms. No one up in your business, good food, cheap drinks... they're even close to potable." Grabbing two more drinks from the bar, Al sets down the credstick with Redi's drink, and sits down. "Should cover me. I'll let you know about Friday. How's work?"

---

After finishing up with Raymundo, Al downs the last of his last drink, shoots a quick message with the new meeting place to the rest of the group (advising them to "show up thirsty"), and carries his new cases back to his apartment.

Alfred finishes off the last of the mandatory drinks. "I'll wait outside in case things get noisy. Also, I picked up some cases for transportation purposes; they should take a couple of hits without letting the books get shredded."

Alfred grumbles "I should've known this sounded too easy." Seeing the neighborhood, instead of doing the usual "terrified door-locking," Al rolls down the rear window and lets his arm dangle out of it (careful not to let his knuckles drag on the ground). He puts his goggles up on his forehead in order to give an appropriate glare to anyone who looks like they mean the group any harm.

Alfred does not tolerate the catcalls of the locals terribly well. "Hey, my colors are black and blue, and if I hear one more 'trog' or 'tusker' out of you fragging breeders, I'm going to make 'em your colors, too, you get me?"

Evaluating the situation, Alfred turns to Sparrow. "Well, as far as I'm concerned, kid, you're the Skipper on this three-hour tour. If you or Gilligan here want to make a try for the van, I can probably distract the punks for a bit, but if you take too long, it'll get bloody, one way or another.

In response to Marcina, Al flexes his hands, showing off his new gloves. "I've got it covered. And try not to forget who's on your team; I've worked with burnouts before."

Is touching these things more likely to result in something like getting your heart torn out of your chest, or getting your soul ripped out through your eyes? And is there a chance the spellslinger who owns them might try to personally do one of the two?" Alfred asks.

As the van sidles up near the auction house, Alfred slips out at Sparrow's signal. As surreptitiously as possible, he slides behind the van, braces against the ground, and gives it a light push, attempting to bring it to a stop shortly before the loading dock.

Alfred starts separating the manuscripts out from the rest of the gear. "There is no fraggin' way we're burning all of this!

Whoever sent us after the manuscripts already knows us, so I don't see a ton of risk if we at least get paid for those. We should split up the rest into stuff that's easily traceable and stuff that isn't, figure out what we can move with a reasonable amount of risk."

He starts putting the manuscripts into a pile. "As for the rest of it... well, if Sparrow can get me something disposable, I'll take it out into the desert and take care of it. I'd like a driver at least, but I can handle it on my own if not. Spellchuckers, assuming this stuff is gonna be disposed of in a pyrotechnic fashion... what's a safe distance?"

Al tosses her his keys. "#353, four feet to the left of the west-facing window, behind the radiator. Smash in the plaster, it's in a duffel bag. It's quality stuff, so it's stable. I'd go with, but I don't think you want the attention a troll riding in the back of that ricer is going to attract while you're hauling ten kilos of contraband. Oh, and sorry for the mess."

Alfred turns to Marcina "I'm not really an expert on this stuff, but trashing all of it if we can turn a profit seems fraggin' wasteful. And like Gabe says, we've already pissed off the Toxic Avenger; may as well get paid for it, at least the non-evil stuff."

And then in order to satisfy his own (and Vex's) curiosity, Alfred takes a closer look at the sword.
