As I have been a bit lax lately, I shall present Sightsee’s encounters as briefly as is possible ( I have Loads of Vicinity logs staring at me right now ). Please also note that some of what you read here are open-ended (i.e. not planned RP) and thus should not be taken as wrote. I also hope that this shorter style of writing will be easier to read.

Sightsee realised that he was in trouble, still couldn’t believe that Levrivers made threats. If Lev was serious, it meant that he had to make allies, and fast. He also needed to find people he could trust, someone to analyse the drug for him and spy’s to check on any gossip that the Mockers may have circulating.
He managed to form what he termed the ‘Posse’, which consisted of the following:
Charley (Dragon Security Agency, Omni Soldier)
Luxurea (Healing Hands, Neutral Doctor)
Madcat48 (Mercury Dragons, Clan Adventurer)
Trasey (Trinity, Omni, Bureaucrat)
Technon (Entropy Dawn, Omni Soldier)
All he needed now was someone within the law, or the law itself, for protection and leverage. He had put thought into his plan, and didn’t want the Mockers to be shut down, just for the production of the one drug to be stopped. Luckily for him, Leani gave him Templus’ name to contact in regards to Levrivers, Omni Pol were interested in his arrest. When the earliest opportunity would present itself, he would contact her.
LOCATION: Roompas Bar.
DATE : 06/24/02
Sight opened a private channel and invited Madcat48 to it, but there was no response. Sight wanted one of his posse to listen in to everything, should anything ever go wrong at least the word would go out. Then he contacted Templus of Omni Pol, and managed to get her into his private channel.
Sight had mentioned that Lev had paid him a visit, to rough him up and warn him off of Lupoh and Metalynx’s affairs.
“Hmm I was here for one of Levs visits, almost had him but I lost him in the Grid” she said.
“Yea well you guys should be more careful, I heard he robbed and murdered in one of our Omni-1 shops.”
“Are you saying he has been raiding Omni-1 looking for you?”
“Hell if I know?” Sights temper rose, she seemed more interested in Lev than the drug that he had also mentioned to her before.
“I’m just saying it would explain why he has interest in Omni-1 now.” She replied.
“I don’t think he or the Mockers involved realise that I have a sample of what could be the drug Lupoh showed me…” He could hear Templus talking to someone, not seeming to pay attention. “Jesus, Don’t you get it Templus? This drug can kill as a side effect; you guys still don’t care about the poor uh? What if this drug hits the City proper? Guess after a few exec’s fall victim, then you’ll do something about it!?”
“No, I do understand.” She exclaimed. “OK, is Lev involved in the production of the drug and do you know where they are manufacturing it?”
“No he isn’t, and I’m looking into potential production facilities… Lev is merely the muscle, maybe even just a one off to hassle me. But if I can coax him out again, you could ambush him and his damn crew?”
“Hmm sounds interesting, so you see him often or does he seek you out?”
“He found me, if he wants to I reckon he can find me again… So you gonna help with getting me some protection or not?” Sight forgot to cancel Madcat48’s invite, and suddenly he joined the channel.
“What’s going on Sight?” Asked Madcat.
“Hmm, who is this, I thought you wanted it to be a secure link?!” Sight couldn’t believe his dumbness. “Err Damned Hackers!” He shouted. But it was too late, Templus cut off her link to the channel.
A few hours later at Reets Retreat, Sight was surprised to find an invite to Templus’ private channel, he knew that there probably be others listening in but he needed Omni Pols help. Templus walked into the flesh room to where he was seated. He reluctantly hooked into her channel.
“OK… Now you have to prove to me that you can be trusted. Let me ask you a question to see. What was the item that a Mocker gave you?” Surely this is a trick question thought Sightsee, maybe she was trying to make sure he wasn’t wasting her time?
“No one gave me anything? I found this drug on the body of some poor guy in the Omni Sewers. I’m sure he died of the side effects, you should have seen his face.”
“Hmm does Diamondcut Dave have anything to do with this?”
“Unknown, all I do know is that Lupoh has most probably made this, or was one of its designers. Metalynx and Lupoh see me as a threat, thus they hired Lev to try and warn me off. What complicates matters is that I am one of the Managers bodyguards here, the Mockers are general security, so I gotta watch my back from them and general trouble makers.”
“Why don’t you quit while you’re ahead, you might live longer?”
“Coz people are dying from this drug, that’s why, guess you can call me the Mother Teresa of Rubi-Ka?”
“So who’s the manager here?”
“Ignis, Eddie to his friends – he’s the manager.”
“Ignis… He is also working with Gridstream productions correct?”
“Well, I guess they work for him.”
“Well, I think I can help you as long as you get this stuff to Omni-Med straight away… We need to leave NOW!” Templus darted to her lithe feet and started to walk out of the room, “Mockers know we are talking.”
“Sh*t! You head out first. I work here remember.” Sight hoped that she was over worrying about nothing, and left after her.
They met up once again in Roompa’s Bar in Omni-1. He sat down opposite her; she was scanning the area for bugs. She smiled to her device as she found the area clear.
“OK, here’s the deal, I have talked to the Generals and they seem for it, but… I have to get the final answer from President Miester. But rest assured Mr. Boothby, it looks good so far” She smiled, a strangely warm smile that reminded Sightsee that although she was OP, she was a person and an attractive woman at that.
“Err Ok, when you do sort it out, give me names that I can contact if I’m in danger, or if I discover more”.
“Ok till then though, call me if you need my help and I will see what I can do. You are an Omni Tek employee so we do have to protect you.”
“Good, I like that kinda talk.”
“Till then, all I can ask is that you watch your back and stay close to Omni Tek areas.” With that she got up and nodded to Sight before slowly walking out of the bar looking inquisitively at each booth on her way out. Sight smiled to himself, his plan was setting into motion.
