"Why don't we start with exactly what you want me to do? I'm seeing an image of a room that looks like it could be arrested for B+E on its own, and you tell me to somehow use this to get you inside the Geongseong Facility?" The man takes a draw on his cigar, then there is the brief high-pitched whine of a linescrubber starting up, letting you know the call is now secured. "If this is some kind of code, I'm not sure I'm understanding it, kid. You can speak freely for the next few minutes, so just come out and tell me what you want me to do; if it's something I can help with, I'll tell you how much it'll cost you."
Takeo swigs some of the cheap beer as he eyeballs the image, then he nods once in comprehension. "Lihua Kovačić. Head of AMR. Yeah, I know she's scheduled to leave the arcology at 0600 this Sunday. And I also know who's going to be driving her." He smiles. "This might work out for both of us, John. Truth is there's something I was hoping you could do for me. You remember my half-sister, Mischa? The one from dad's third marriage? Last time I was visiting my mother, she tells me that Mischa has shacked up with some Horizoon brat, real piece of shit. Her mother tells me he's treating her bad, roughing her up and keeping her from seeing her family. Now Mischa's a grown woman, so it's not for me to tell her how to live, but... I just want you to do what you do and see if there's any truth to these rumours. You speak to Mischa, let me know how she's doing, and I'll give you the name of Lihua Kovačić's driver. I'll even pass on any messages you have to them. What do you say?"
Before John has a chance to answer, A.L.I.C.E grabs his attention and strongly advises him not to take any action against Horizoonsoft at this moment. She believes it's still too soon since John's disappearance from the corporation.
