Checking back into your email, you find that Detective Rice has read your email (the read receipt beacon came back).  You'll have to burn this account now.

Setting up another communications mode will not be an issue.  You'll just need to give it a little time and money to get it done.  Starting with finding a little 'old dark fiber' to jump onto will be the hardest part, but you've got your leads.  There is that abandoned link you stumbled upon a few months back that could work.

Sending the second email off with data is easy, once you scrub it a little.

Dean put in a couple of work work on various projects.  He kept a search going on the map, correlating it to any historical information out there.  He did some maintenance on the armor, just to ensure it was in top condition.  Dean did a little work on setting up a more secure and untraceable communication system.  Then he felt compelled to tinker and do a little design work with some new projects he'd been pondering.  Eventually, the need to sleep forced him to call it and get some sleep.


OOC:

Well, the email/connection should still be fine.  Just have to route through anonymous servers (and make sure no trojan horse/trackers in the message) when I get it.

I'm certain I've got the $.  Just need to start working on it.

The day ends quietly.  With one exception, when you check your work email address, you get a notice from legal that there is new lawsuit on intellectual property issues.  It does not require your direct attention, but it SOP to notify the leadership of any lawsuits, no matter the size.

[OOC]
What would your next day look like?

OOC:
I'm assuming the next day is a weekday.  If not, pretty much the same without the job stuff.  Add visiting family and such

- Do about 3 hours of his 'job' stuff to maintain cover and keep work going
- Do an hour or do financial work (little research on this intellectual lawsuit too just in case)
- Few hours of maintenance/gadgeteering and what not
- Continuing doing a little research on the whole theft case/trying to put clues together
- some patrolling/heroing too of course

A) The intellectual property case is over ownership of a low volume, high pressure system used to inject small amounts of fluids into solutions for quick and complete mixing.  The valve and pump system was developed at your company by an employee that has now left.  They are seeking greater compensation.

B) You get an email back from Detective Rice.  "Who is this?  How did you get this?"

Taking a moment from his other tasks, Dean set up the routing to prevent tracking messages back before responding.

quote:
"Good day Detective.  As indicated in my first communication, I go by the moniker of Knight Wolf.  While I have been around a while, this is one of my first 'public', for lack of a better term, correspondence and reported actions.  I apologize but I am not comfortable divulging more information about myself at this time.

As indicated in the first and subsequent messages, I am simply offering to assist and am quite skilled in it as well as suitably informed to ensure following various police procedures to maintain the integrity of your cases and subsequent legal proceedings.

As for how I got your particular address, that really shouldn't be a large stretch to determine given the various information I have supplied in prior messages.  While you are the only member of the police department I have contacted, I have also contacted other individuals in 'Super' community.
"


Sending the message off, he got back to work...

Yeah.  Im a background person/owner.  I keep the company growing, patent backward design and nudging R&D along.   Im not a micro manager.   Directly interfering when not needed is a bad idea.  Besides its their entire job to handle this stuff.  ;)

I'm good with that.  It keeps me from having to detail it further.  :)

Things continue quietly, until a background search sends a notice to your machine.  You have a 90% hit on the facial recognition search for the security guard.  He has come up on two other searches, but there are not names.

Dean paused in his work when the computer alerted him to the success of one of the searches.  Rolling his chair away from the worktable, he pulled up to the computer and raised an eyebrow at the result.  "Well, well," he mussed as he brought up the data to start working through.

OOC:
What does it come up with?

What were the 2 other searches looking for?

The search comes back with a name of William L. Chura.  The name and ID search come up in relation to a background check for part-time/temp security guard work at MIS and The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie.  Both searches had the name and same address information for him.

Please hit the latest Mindstike thread and post what your email said to her work account.  We will do this there for this interaction as it is short.

Was the Center in Skokie one of the previous robberies?


She did repost it in her thread.  It didn't have a ton of info that I'd discovered in it though.  The message I sent to the Detective (up in #19) DID list everything I had discovered at that time.

At what point am I at?  Really not sure.  She replies on Friday evening.

Friday evening is good.  You two are in sync.

The Center has not reported a robbery.

"Interesting," he muses.  He kicked off a few more searches, helping the other searches along by refining them.  The name and now a solid photo was excellent progress plus the other potential robbery site.  He started another utility to gather more information.

Finally, starting to feel the hours weighing in on him, he set up another routing to send a follow up email to Mindstrike at the requested address.

quote:
Mindstrike,

The investigation has gotten rather complex.  While various avenues with the vehicle and boat have had minimal value, I have some significant updates from other areas.  First off, and something you need to be aware of, you were being spied upon during your meeting at the museum by a security guard who most certainly should not have been there.  This individual has been extremely difficult to gather information on as well though I have made some progress.  It is still ongoing.  As for another, I have discovered another site which will almost certainly be robbed by the pair or whoever they were hired by given the previous robberies the pair perpetrated.

Also, I have been sharing most information discovered with the police for verification and transparency to some degree as well.

I will be available throughout the next few days working on various projects.  I should be able to respond or meet within a short time of your response.

K.W.


Cutting the connections and scrubbing the pathways, he yawned loudly.  More than enough for one night he figured as he staggered off to get some sleep.



OOC:
Ok, I'll shift to Saturday by end of this post.  Gotta sleep at some point after all.

Where does he live?  What other information can I dig up on him?

Start doing a little searching/digging at the Skokie museum as prep work to read the next day.

While he would be searching and working and investigating all weekend, that can be handwaved/summed up if needs be to get everyone on same page.  *shrug*

You do get an address and a lot of other personal information.  All of the items that would be needed for a background check or a job are provided.  You even get information about his car (a Honda Odyssey) as there is a comment to send a parking permit for one to him.

As to the museum, I've never been there. https://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/

Dean woke a bit late on Saturday; the price of staying up far too late.  In the back of his mind, the thought spurred the beginnings of an idea for a device to negate the need for or condense sleep.  He let the ponderings mull about as he went through morning routines and got ready for the day.  By mid morning, he had a cup of coffee and breakfast before him as he sat at his command console.  It was the weekend so, for the most part, he had few plans outside some tech design and work as well as continue researching his various projects.

2) Investigate things at the Holocaust Museum.
3) Holding to work on other items for the weekend (waiting for reply from Mindstrike).
4) Other....

Just want to know where you are going from here.

I'm fine with doing some ffwding if you want to get people caught up.  Or can post/rp the weekend.  Mindstrike doesn't respond that weekend so he's got other things to do.

During the weekend, he will keep researching Chura.  He'll research the museum, correlating with other info.  If need be, will pop in and get more data.

And spend time doing maintenance/gadgeteering and such.
