The elf seems to watch with a cool, impassive gaze as Lo Fong circles with the cyber-warrior. The ork bodyguard grins an ugly smile, as he keeps a hand on his sawed-off shotgun under his trenchcoat. The cybered warrior exhales slowly, drawing in a breath as he quickly steps to the right and closing ...

The Americar pulls into the parking lot across the street from George's Steakhouse. Not unexpectedly, it is a blue-collar grease pit of a bar and restaurant.

You're a bit ahead in the timeframe I'm intending, so you'll need to wait a bit, as I play catchup with the others. The joys of being the Seattle native.
But I haven't forgotten you. You'll just need to be patient for a bit, as I give the stage to the rest of the folks for a bit.
