Mission 6d - Mission of Mercy

As promised, Sam forwards the traffic cam information on to Michiko, and asks if she has any ideas for moving forward.

Then he sends a new message to Little Nakamats from the burner phone.
>>>>>>Have you or the police located your father yet?

While waiting for a response on the burner, Sam searches around on the matrix for any public information on the two locations. (matrix search 9 hits)

Unable to help much in the Matrix, WuJen settles down in his room with Little Dragon, preparing to go and scout the fish plant the girls were taken to.

He leaves his body and journeys out to the location, just to see what can be seen.

Sam

Sam receives a message from Michiko:

>>>>> Okay, we know where they are at least. We're kind of diving into territory that is above my level of expertise. I've had Yamaguchis sniffing around my place and have had to lay low for a while to avoid them. Have they tracked you down yet?
>>>>> We kicked a proverbial ants nest with my last broadcast and things are going to get worse before they get better.
>>>>> Ideally you need find a way to save the girls and decommission Nakamats without getting us all killed by the Yamaguchis. I'm not sure what the best way to do that is, but hopefully you find a way. I'd start with the girls, but that's mostly because I'm worried about them and what might happen if the Yamaguchis suddenly decide to drop their plan with the loss of Nakamats. I have no idea if it is strategically sound or not.

From Yoshinari, Sam receives this:

>>>>> No. Look, who is this?
>>>>> My father hasn't been home in months and the police don't know where to look for him.
>>>>> Is this all just a story you're making up? Have you taken him? What do you want from me?

A matrix search of the two locations doesn't turn up much that you don't already know. The fish packing plant is apparently an active one that runs from about 8 am until 10 pm. It employs about 20 people, not including security and shipping personnel. A public blueprint happens to be available.

The Yamaguchi compound is just a large, walled-in residence with no interesting matrix info to speak of.


Wujen

Meanwhile Wujen projects to the fish plant. He gets about the same layout info as Sam does from his blueprint. He verifies that there are actual workers there doing what looks like actual work. He also notes there is more security than one would normally expect of a fish plant. At least 8 armed guards, one of whom is awakened, plus some security drones patrolling on rails above the factory. There is no immediate sign of the girls, but with that many guards on the premises, surely there is something more important to guard than fish. His quick look about finds no astral barriers on the premises, but given Sam's description of where the girls were before, it would make sense if they were hidden underneath the plant somewhere. Or it's entirely possible he just missed something while trying to stay out of the awakened guard's astral sight.

Looking at the place and remembering that the facility that Sam checked out last time was underground, WuJen bargains with a nearby Earth Spirit to check for underground features.

The earth spirit spends 30 minutes searching the area and manages to avoid being seen by the guard on duty. It returns to Wujen, informing him of a chamber under the facility, roughly below the storage area.

WuJen returns to his body and composed a message to Sam of what he has found so far.

>Hey Sam, here are the details of what I saw at the fish plant. Nothing ground breaking, but the security force is definitely more than would be needed to watch some fish. There is an underground section, possibly similar to what you found at the last place.

>The magical defenses so far seem to be limited to a single awakened guard. I'd like to check out that underground section some more, but figured it would be prudent to let someone know before I went in, just in case something thus far hidden comes into play.


-----Sent from the Sony Emperor of Masaru Ryotosuma

Sam sends Fuchougou a  message letting him know that Sam is ready to mount an attack on the compound's server. He and Fuchougou, along with Eula, load up into Fuchougou's van and find an unassuming spot as close to the compound as they can, without venturing in to Yakuza territory.

Sam tells Eula to guard their bodies and to notify Sam if she sees any danger. Then he jacks in to cold sim, running silent, and locates the compound server. With the help of Lycos and Jeeves, he attempts to place a mark on the host. (6 hits)

Fuchou logs in hot sim too and stays as quiet as possible to help Sam in whatever way he asks. He keeps one of his flying eyes in the cabin of the bulldog to check in with the real world every once in a while.

Sam responds to Wujen:
>>>>>>Fuchou and I are looking in to the compound in Matrix space.
>>>>>>After that we will check out the fish plant.
>>>>>>You may want to wait to see what we find before going in on your own.

WuJen settles in to wait and see what the Deckers can find before returning.

ichigo will come along to assist in anyway possible.

Meanwhile Ichigo and Wujen don't have much to do but wait for the hackers to finish their thing.

Sam swaps data processing and sleaze on his deck and takes a look around for cameras and other security protocols, and personnel files. He has Lycos and Jeeves each do the same.

Sam points out the door(s) to the alarms to Fuchougou, while focusing on the cameras himself. He swaps back the data processing and sleaze attributes on his deck,and, with the aid of his trusty search engines, attempts to place a mark on the/a camera door.
