Jack the Hack makes a deal - Recursion - 6/19/06

**Malphas**

There's been a great deal of activity in the Uriah neighborhood of late, most of it fallout from the incident last week in which some event in the Aqueduct was so unbelievable to the bluepills who saw it that they either went insane, died of shock, or woke up and drowned in their pods. It must have been quite a show.

A side effect of the deaths, government closure and investigation, and inevitable--though quickly suppressed--public outcry has been a sudden depression for the businesses in the area. Among them we may choose to number the Chopper gang, who make most of their income in the used auto part trade, legality notwithstanding. But hard times strike the just and wicked alike, it would seem, as the Chopper boss, Jack the Hack, was seen yesterday peddling what he claimed to have seen of the Aqueduct incident for cash among the operatives in the area.

Naturally, none of our people would be so foolish as to throw money at such a scoundrel, and a pair of Zionites collaborated to "win" the bidding. Most of their following discussion with Jack having been conducted on a secure frequency, we do not yet have an exact idea of the nature of his revelations, truthful or otherwise. The operatives, at any rate, looked satisfied upon leaving the building, so we may conclude that what he told them at least made for a story worth their 10 million $info.

....

Looks like a bit of torture is required. Move out, men!

**Cervacius**

Hmm, so now we've got 2 Redpills and 1 Exile who know's what really happened. Considering the fact that the Exile was the only *sane* witness, I'm not so sure that his story is the whole truth.

However, 3 potentially faulty leads is better than none. Let's see if we can get some more information out of them.

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

What disturbs me the most is how all these non-Merovingians seem to be getting all the good stuff outta this Smithpill business. There's been little-to-no activity on The Frenchman's part during all this. I mean, I know we're supposed to be busy looking for Anome's Construct, but that doesn't spread us thin!

Flood or whoever the hell our Liasion Officers are supposed to be now should get their acts together.

**ZaneZavin**

Smithpill? Never heard that one.

**Apost1e**

Hmm, perhaps they'd like to share with us what "really happened"? I'd be interested in hearing a good story. SMILEY

**Dragonram**

((Now this is the kind of event we should be having :smileywink: ))

Maybe Jack would be willing to part with is information again for a price...Like he said he needs to make a quick buck.

Anywho...it doesn't look like Rarebit was aiming this at a big crowd, seeing as how nobody in The X caught whiff of it.

Where does it say the Zionites lost 10 mil? I only see 7 in the trade-off.))

Unfortunately, the information imparted by Jack the Hack will likely have been forgotten by the Neonates in question. I've had the displeasure of meeting those two particular individuals before. "Farming?" "Players?" Yes, they won't have much of a story to impart to any of us. It would be a better investment of time to track down Jack the Hack than develop a migraine discussing things with them.

((I don't have the patience for: "Oh, dat Jack guy! He rly funy lol!"))

**Vanil**

Remind me why I should care about bluepills dying...

...because I don't think I do.

That's sad. Because it sounds like we've lost an entire portion of important dialogue forever. -_-

**Mercio**

wow those guys were a bunch of poor noobs lol.

High rollers would have paid 50 mil for that kind of information...

And i can name 30 high rollers off the top of my head that would drop the info on a whim, and thats just on vector.

**zeroone506**

The "players farming" didn't come from any of those two guys, but from Wire393.

However, awesome Jack the Hack RP, Rarebit! As far as my opinion goes, I consider this characterization as one of the best and most charismatic ever.

**pESt**

it might suprise some ppl how far being polite, and simply asking the question: "so, may i ask what jack had to say?", will get ya.

im trying to spread the word regarding this incident. makes for some fun RP conversations =)

Vesperascit01

First off I would like to say "Dat jack guy iz rly fny". Secondly I take the liberty of logging every conversation I have with people such as jack. And just because i didnt feel like dropping 30mil dosnt mean jack. Besides why waste the money when I obviously got some good information for cheap SMILEY
