She only gives him a sidelong look, "I am aware of the benefits. I do yoga instead."

She then smiles, "You might want to invest in a fanny pack or something. Pockets are not overrated as any woman can tell you."

She then says, "If you have this tonight, I think I'll take my leave."

He laughs.  "In the martial arts, being a teacher and advocate is always there.  I apologize.  And I'll look into a 'fanny pack' but I doubt I'll find one to match this outfit.  I will call you and thank you."  He continues to smile and bows his head to you.

Mindstrike rises up, waves to Ghost Hand and the Tai Chi practitioners, and puts her earbuds back in as she flies home.

Ghost Hand nods as you rise into the air.  The Tai Chi practitioners watch you leave, but do not stop what they are doing.

There is no 'meta-human' activity reported on the scanner.  There are calls for a party disturbance, shots fired on the east side, and reports of a few robberies (muggings) with one be in the West Loop.

You fly a lazy loop out and over the West Loop on the way home.  It is easy to find a few police cars and an ambulance, when you have height.  Listing in on the scanner you get that there was a robbery of a drug dealer (the dealer was the victim), and he was stabbed.

[OOC]
Your apartment is downtown in "The Loop" (the loop is defined by the loop created by the CTA tracks...they circle a large downtown area of high rises, some of the oldest and build after the fire with the new technology).  The West Loop is not far or out of the way by much.  The Loop will have the highest value in the downtown area.

I always love this building.  I had clients in this building a long time ago.  The Fisher - ornamental metal, dark woods, haircut, coffee and hats (yes, a hat shop) on the first floor.

Landing on the balcony, Rei enters the penthouse and heads for her bedroom. As she walks, she takes her burner phone from her boot before her outfit disappears and her business attire reappear. Once in her bedroom, the outfit is removed before a trip to the bathroom for a long hot shower.
She emerges from her bedroom in a robe and slippers with her hair wrapped in a towel to see if Hiromi is home.

[OOC: About what time is it? Should be getting dark if it isn't after sunset.]

The sun is low in the sky.  It is about 7 PM.  From this height, you'll have sun for a hour or so yet.

[IC]
As you toss your phone on the bed, you note there are alerts waiting.

***

Hiromi is home.  She gives you the <sssshhhhh> sign as she is talking.  "No Mom...everything is fine.  Everybody is healthy and safe.  No Mom.  No Mom.  Yes Mom."  She starts to rub her temple.

On the burner, you have a message from Orwell that he has finished the map and the timeline done for the robbery, a timeline and map for all known robberies, and a timeline and location map for data points for Brikner up till his disappearance.

On the work phone (texts and email), 99% are the normal daily items; there is a project meeting tomorrow with the new musical director for Marketing, a few updates on projects, a request for a interview, and a few personnel items to process.  But, there is an unexpected email, but a Knight Wolf.

[OOC]
Unless there is an issue, I'll have Knight Wolf put the text of the email here as this should be a short number of posts.

Rei acknowledges Orwell and notes she will be by tomorrow for an in person update and to get the information.

Rei goes through the work messages and emails and responds as needed. The interview request gets her attention.
When she sees the message from Knight Wolf, she uses the off book laptop to copy the message and put it on the burner. She then sets up an email account to specifically respond to it.

Knight Wolf:
Ms. Rousseau,

First off, let me introduce myself.  I am a somewhat recent, at least publicly, addition to the hero roster in this city.  There was some arrests I participated in, though I did not stick around to be recognized, this evening involving a ruined car and another with a holdup who went running as well as a mugging with additional criminal connections.  The police were informed anonymously of course.  I go by the handle of Knight Wolf.  Unlike yourself, I intend to keep my personal life secret and separate from my hero identity.

Regardless, I noted your conflict with the two thieves that were apprehended after the MSI theft.  I presume you will be digging into said theft.  I have, in my own investigation, come up with some interesting clues.  Perhaps it might be advantageous to compare notes.  I am heading to investigate some new developments presently.  If and when you are available and are interested in continuing this discussion, please contact me and I can provide a more secure method of communication.  I am headed to the harbor now to see what might be found there.

Knight Wolf


She then responds to the message.

Mr. Knight Wolf,

I am indeed investigating the attempted robbery, and I am making some progress.
Pooling resources would be excellent, but it will be after the weekend before I am available.
Please contact me via this email address instead of my work email.

Mindstrike

As she does all this, she occasionally checks to see how Hiromi is coping with mother over whatever the conversation is about.

[OOC: As it's currently Friday evening, the meeting most likely won't be the next day on Saturday. It will be on Monday most likely, but I'm good with passing the weekend other than the exchange with Knight Wolf and a quick scene in person update with Orwell the next day along with alerting Sentinel about Knight Wolf's existence.
Who is requesting the interview?]

Hiromi lets you know that there is nothing new with mother.  She is only being a mother.  Although she was going to a ball at the Eiffel Tower.  It is a fundraiser for a hospital.

The interview is from Chicago Magazine.  They are interested in talking to you for a profile.  You and Hiromi are both requested, but your PR team thinks only one of you should do the profile and then we could do a second profile, with a different focus and message, in 10-12 months.

Going to trailer to meet?

Rei decides to video call mother sometime Sunday if only to see how the fundraiser ball went.

She informs Hiromi about the interview and that she agrees the interview should be only one of them while volunteering to take the first and having it focus more on the company.

She then orders gyros and watches some shows to decompress before bed.

The next morning, she flies to Lower Wacker before getting down to street level to get to the trailer.

At the door she says, "Bonjour, Orwell. I have information."

[OOC: Yes. Shouldn't be too long a scene, but there is plenty of information to exchange.]

When you enter, immediately multiple maps come to life on the large screens.  "Hello.  I have correlated all the locations that I have on these two maps.  Although there is nothing that correlates between the thefts and the locations for Mr. Brikner.  Although the Doctor thought it was interesting that Mr. Brikner was only in locations off the coast of the North See; never in Berlin for example.  I have put a time/order to both maps so you have an idea of what came first."  All of the locations on both maps are suddenly numbered, giving you some idea on what was when.

Brikner's last location (prior to the voyage that he never returned from was Harstad, Norway (large shipping/fishing town on the largest island).

Mindstrike says, "More information to look at. I made contact with Ghost Hand. He has not powers, and is reluctant to join the team, but he has my card and can contact me. I also received a message from someone named Knight Wolf."

Rei takes out a flash drive and gives Orwell a copy of the email along with her response from the new account she set up.

"I don't know who this Knight Wolf is, but if he is investigating this, he is a potential team member and another point of view in the investigation. I will be meeting him in the coming week."

Rei then gets copies of the information on the flash drive before she pockets it.

She then asks, "Is there anything else, Orwell?"

[OOC: The only plan Rei has is to hit the clubs on Saturday night and decompress. Beyond that, I'm good with passing time to Monday and waiting for everyone else to catch up.]

"Yes.  I have a few minor items.  I found two additional robberies.  The details of each are in the data.  And I connected to the CPD database to collect information about the robbery.  There is a lot of items they have not processed and that are pending.  All of this will be in the data collection as well."

[OOC]
Your next post will be on Monday, sans any minor items.  Project review.

Mindstrike collects the information and thanks Orwell before wishing him goodbye. She has a relaxing Saturday and then spends the night on the club scene.

Sunday is spent on reviewing the information.

[OOC]
1) The two new robberies were much like the others.  Taken items were various papers, a flag, a small statuette, and a full SS uniform.  Both robberies were from private collections and were in Europe.
2) One of the robberies was actually the second attempt at that location.  The first attempt was stopped by the security guard that stumbled upon quick hidden/stored equipment and called police.  The robbers were arrested and are serving time in jail.
3) Interpol has an open file on the European robberies, but it is not being worked actively (reason unknown).
4) The map of Mr. Brikner's locations is detailed with as much information that could be pulled from documents (a lot of inference from the documents themselves).  The map allows you to drill down for more information at a location.

[OOC: Sunday will be a lazy day. Brunch and snacks with a light dinner in the evening. Her plan is to still meet Knight Wolf during the week.
"Bonnie" will check to see if Bon responded to her message Friday night.
Rei will also try to watch Letterkenny before giving up after a couple episodes as she simply cannot relate before discovering White Collar which she understands.]

[OOC: Knight Wolf reminded me that I did respond, but I postponed the meeting so I could let Sentinel know about his existence.

Rei created the Bonnie profile to catfish Bon as he was suspected to be Ghost Hand. At the meeting with Ghost Hand, Mindstrike messaged Bon on the dating app as Bonnie, but Ghost Hand said he had no phone on him.]

Bon does respond to your message.  How u?

You also get a text from the Doctor.  I do not know who Knight Wolf is.  Let me see if we can do some digging.  Any additional information could help.  A fortuitous email with information we are seeking seems a little too good to be true.

To Bon she messages, Where were you Friday night? I was hoping to go clubbing.

To Sentinel she texts, I don't know who he is either. He wants to meet, but I put him off until at least Monday. I wanted to bring him to your attention first.

Do you want backup for the meeting?  I can send Shadow or Shade.

It takes a little time, but Bon does get back to you. I was in the lab most of the day (like all day) and didn't even look at phone.  SRY.  I may be going out later, but I'm not sure yet.  U going out again?

To Sentinel she responds, I wouldn't mind a Shadow for the meeting. I'll try to set the meeting for late Monday and send you the details.

She replies to Bon, Can't. Early classes. Political science professors are unforgiving.
