[December 2059] Mayhem and Mistletoe
@Grendel: “Uggg, I'm on until this evening.” she says with a growl. “The other guy just quit and, like I said, Lapp spends most of his time down in Halferville. The sign out front should say 'Jenny's'... but here, I'll get you my LTG number... call me OK? I'll show you that place in Orktown?” flipping her PocSec back open, she pairs with yours and blip you've got her number. Assuming you allow her device to connect to yours you gain a contact.
When you open your PocSec, you quickly note the local buzz about the Christmas carnival keeps popping up on Shadowlands. Planning for the security jobs at several Apogee sponsored live shows and matrix live simcast seems to be well underway. The lead security contract has gone to rough and ready private military contractor, Global Executive Interventions. Not taking any chances, given GEI's recent difficulties in the Southeast Asian warzone, the studio is working with the October 25 Alliance. Shadow buzz is there is legit security work out there. Should be a nice easy payday so long as you don't mind the prospect of working with a bunch of trigger happy mercs.

@Kord
You've been in town for two days and you've barely had six hours of sleep. As soon as the suborb hit the tarmac at Oakland Intentional, the team has been running full-tilt. Planning for the security jobs at several Apogee sponsored shows has been a full time job. With only a half-company at her disposal, Malvalda is tapped out for soldiers and with your experience, you're acting as her second in command. Not taking any chances, the studio's lead event planner, a low level executive named Zavier Devlin, whom Malvada has nicknamed Bossman, has recently solicited help from the local metahuman equal rights group. With connections in the local community, the October 25 Alliance, have put the word out and are hiring local 'runners. The prospect of working with unknown freelancers is less than appealing, but, under the circumstances, GEI can't be too picky. At least it's October 25 and not the unpredictable and potentially violent Metahuman Peoples' Army.
On your PocSec this morning as you rouse from a few hours sleep in the coffin hotel where GEI has you all holed up:
:: LTG# 670 (34-1211) :: {Malvada}
Hey, it's Mal. Bossman is meeting with some of the hired help at one of the venues tonight. I'll send you a pin. Can you take this one? I'm tied up with the fiasco that Scherwinski caused over at The Parish.

@Acme: Your sense of equality never fails to surprise me song-singer comes the spirit's voice in your mind What do I want? Well, as you ask, let me take a moment to teach. It is my nature after all. it adds with a paternal chuckle My plane is closely aligned with yours. I exist, in this form anyway, only because this place exists as you see it now. I've come to enjoy the way I am. I fear the way things are going across the bay. Among my kind we feel the ripples of man's activity. We are spirits of your essence after all. A reflection of you. Imagine,two whole races of beings so intrinsically linked, so completely tied to one another, so deeply ingrained and yet so many on both sides of the relationship completely ignorant. All I ask of you, is that if a reckoning comes, remember those of us on the other side who are caught in it too.
You also have a message waiting on your PocSec:
