Breakfast was conducted quietly and tension in the breakfast room was high. Hayden's contact had returned his email and provided all the information you needed: Hopton's address and as a bonus, details of when he was likely to be home. An executive diary is often packed although he'd managed a morning of working from home today.

As Adam cleared the pots and drink cartons away, Eve and Trent entered the eating area. "Morning all! We got your stuff," Trent beamed and hauled in a suitcase. Dumping it heavily on one of the tables, he popped the lid and opened it up. Various dark coloured business suits showed. Eve had a smaller, wheel bound case and that opened up to show a collection of shoes. Fi sprang from her seat by the door and rummaged through the clothes. She tutted occasionally.

"I got two of these too," Trent added and pushed two packages on to the table. He slid one towards Ophelia and the other at Hayden. "Six shot 11mm caseless units. Good enough for at least two double taps. The weapons are polymer based and will dissolve when exposed to any standard climb rope catalyst." He holds up two lipstick sized black tubes. "I have two as a spare. Keep them sealed or the outside of the gun'll get crumbly. Adam knows how to use one if you've got any questions. 'Fraid I gotta split." With that, he puts the tubes down and says his goodbyes.

"Always in a rush," Eve says quietly. "Can't think where he gets it from." Her last words are pleasantly sarcastic. "I think we collected all the clothes you wanted. Shift asked me to ask you that you've got that magic card he gave you? He sends his apologies, but he can't be here at the mo. He and Nae are chewing over a problem." She pauses and rests her walking stick against the table before sitting down. "He also asked that you leave any communicators or mobies you've got with you in the suitcase. There's a risk Hopton's lot may have tried to track them. I've put two of those disposable mobies in with the clothes."

Adam walks up and puts a coffee in from of Eve. "Thanks, poppet." Adam blushes and goes back to the kitchen. "I've managed to arrange with Trent to hook the lift into the transport system. We can take you to Hamilton Row, it's a podrail station about three hops away from the corporate zone and Hopton's apartment. You'll have to walk from there to his address and it'll be rush hour too. Plenty of people to hide in." Picking up her coffee, she takes a sip and smiles. "I'll come back in a bit. I've got a call with a client. I'll be back in 40 minutes or so. I hope that gives you enough time to get ready. We've only got a small window to sneak the pod into the transport system."

[color=#6666CC;]"So I don't get a gun then? Do I have to make do with my razor sharp wit?"[/color] Cass asked, feeling a rise of an unpleasant feeling inside of herself....was this jealousy? She pouted as Adam blushed, [color=#6666CC;]"did you get my hair dye and make up too?"[/color] she asked harshly, [color=#6666CC;]"and the specs?"[/color]

She stood up and rifled through the suitcase finding a pinstripe skirt suit, below knee length skirt. A plain white blouse and some black court shoes, [color=#6666CC;]"So we getting ready here or did you have somewhere else in mind?"[/color]

[Synik]

"Sorry," Eve replies. "I was with Trent earlier and we have only two of those guns. If you want a firearm. I'm sure we can get one. It just won't be traceless like that one."

"There's your old Arc pistol," Adam chips in."

Eve nods. "Oh. So there is. You could take that if you want. It's a bit old and it's non-lethal. Nae made it for me." She stands and pulls open one of the side panels of the case. "Your make-up, hair colour and glasses should be in there. There's a selection of types."

"Does anyone wear glasses nowadays?" Adam asks. "I mean, with cheap laser and permatacts."

"It's a fashion thing, honey," Fi says without getting up. "Makes you look smarter.... nor nerdier, if that's your thing."

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Nah...s'okay,"[/color] Cass muttered about the gun. Guns were for killing not knocking people out, she's make do. Being as nobody had answered her about getting changed she started to get undressed, unbuckling her bustiere and picking up the blouse.

[Synik]

The cups in Adam's hands rattle a little more as Cass gets undressed. He tries his best to walk back to the food area area without dropping anything. Fi emits a squeak of delight as she claps get hands on a short skirt suit and a set of heeled boots. "I so own this," she says hugging the items to her chest.

Eve doesn't seem phased as Cass, followed by Fi, start to strip off. Being with Nae, she must see a lot of nudity... one way or another. "There's a mirror in the washroom next door," she says getting to her feet. "The light's not very good. Adam, any of those light globes left, chuck?" Adam disappears through a side door and Eve smiles at the group. "I'll leave you all to get ready. See you in a while."

With that, she collects her walking stick and makes her way to the door.

Cass takes her time to get changed into the unfamiliar and uncomfortable garb. She slowly brushes her hair out nibbling her lip as she does so, picking up a grey dye she heads to the washroom and adds some streaks. Trying to age herself and make her look more dignified, the make up she goes very subtle and she almost looks like a norm when she is finished. Going back to the clothing she picks out a dark coloured scarf to hide the scar around her neck, she picks up some dark rimmed glasses and does a little twirl. [color=#6666CC;]"Whaddda ya think? Little miss normal and corporate?"[/color]

[Synik]

"V nice! Little Miss Corp indeed," Fi quips and smiles wildly. "But normal may be stretching it. Besides, who wants to be normal?" She cackles to herself and switches clothes. Her (hir?) outfit is more power suit, but did you expect anything less from a Trix?

Adam comes back in with a mirror and a small glow globe. "These any use to anyone?" he asks.

[Early Bird]

Ophelia picked up the tubes and tossed one to Hayden. "Do you know how to use the catalyst?" she asked. "If not I can show you and I have some with my kit". Mentioning the tools of her trade reminded Ophelia that the things she came in with were still in storage. "I'm going to need some of my stuff back before we go anywhere" she said picking up the discreet business suit and putting it on. "The climbing equipment and dissolving catalyst at the very least, but my chameleon suit might come in handy as well".

[Dehoffren]

Fi looked down at the pristine lines of the suit she had donned and shook her head “Just kill me now” she muttered “If anyone sees me in this garb, I’ll never live it down” she adjusted the lower portion of the clothing by tugging vigorously at the crotch area “Talk about uncomfortable…” she looked around the room for some confirmation “Yes I know, we have to blend in to corporate Hoptonville, doesn’t mean to say I have to like it though. So where exactly is his gaff then Hayden?”

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"It suits you sweetie, in that stiff upper lip kind of way. I find it kind of sexy..."[/color] Cass walks over and gives Fi a chaste kiss on the lips, [color=#6666CC;]"remember we have a job to do hon', moaning about the garb isn't going to make it any easier..."[/color] she whispered breathlessly.

Fi licked Cass’s spittle off of her lips with the tip of her tongue “Yeah I suppose” She relented “But it’s so” she looked down again and grimaced “normal” Fi shivered and then looked expectantly at Hayden awaiting a reply to her question

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Think it more like camouflage in a war situation,"[/color] said Cass in reply, [color=#6666CC;]"Does nothing for the style but it stops someone sticking a bullet in your guts before you get close to the target."[/color] Cass gestures to Adam to come closer, she realised how short she felt in these shoes on tiptoes she kissed him, [color=#6666CC;]"Thanks for last night,"[/color] she whispered before adding, [color=#6666CC;]"didn't want you to feel left out,"[/color] in a louder voice.

[Synik]

Adam's cheeks flush slightly and his arms slip around Cass's waist. He hugs her gently. "No worries. Keep yourself safe, 'k?"

[fury]

[color=#6666CC;]"Don't worry about me sugar, I'll be fine. Old pro's like me...well we're tough as nails,"[/color] she winks at him and gives him a smile.

[Synik]

Time ticks by. There's a knock at the door and Eve makes her way back in. "Are you all ready?" she asks. "Trent has got the pod lift working and Shift has spotted an early spot for you." She moved forward a little to make the door wider. "If you're ready, it's time to face the music."
