A chill wind rolled in from the ocean as the rain drummed across the roof of a place called the Leaky Faucet, within which sat several Steelhead employees and a gaunt, spidery man with a sad little goatee and a ratty two-piece suit. The Johnson spoke, his voice droning and his manner robotic.
"You are aware, I am sure, of ENKI's latest feat. A quarter have already died. As a concerned citizen, I want you to kill him. To facilitate this, I am offering you 50,000 Universal Credit Units each in the event that you succeed. Any questions."

Ash frantically waved his robotic hand. "OOOH! OOOH! OOOH! MISTER JOHNSON PICK ME! PICK ME!" Ash lowered down his right arm, as he used it to fiddle with his necklace. "When are we getting paid? Can we get MORE than 50,000 Universal Credit Units? I'd like more! Yeah, you should pay us more! Oh, is there any form of sugar, or synthesized sugar that we can get here!? I want that now. OOOH! OOOH! MISTER JOHNSON! MISTER JOHNSON! Uhm..." Ash paused after frantically barraging with his series of questions. He moved his seat a bit back, "Oh! OH! Mister Johnson! I'm going to skin the ENKI guys alive. I need new rugs!" Ash slammed his head down on the table, as he peered down in the table, speaking in a melancholic tone. "I lost one of my human skinned rugs, I need some to replace them. But..." Ash began bawling, as tears began to flow onto the table, "IT W-W-W-WON'T REPLACE THE ONES IN MY HEAAAART!" Ash shook his head as he continued crying, he then immediately brought his head up. "OOH!" He brought up his metallic hand as he began frantically waving it again, "Can I put the guy in a highly elaborate Death Trap!? Like in Saw!? Like I'll totally set up the razor and stuff, it'll take a looooong time to set up, so I may get bored and just shoot him instead..."

Ash scratched his head as he glanced around, "Oh!" Ash eagerly raised his left index finger as he beamed a smile, "You guys we see that newest Horror Movie before we go to brutally murder that meanie-head?" Ash glanced at the group as emphasized his next point, "NO GIRLS ALLOWED THOUGH. MY SENSORS REVEAL THAT THEY HAVE A HIGHLY ADVANCED CONTAGION, "COOTIES". I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH A CONTAGION TO SPREAD AMONG US!" Ash said that in a highly demanding tone of voice, before he calmed down, kinda. "I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, WANNA SEEE IT! I'MMA GONNA WATCH IT. YEAH. I'LL WATCH IT BEFORE WE GO OUT! Though killing is fuuuun..." Ash lowered his head onto the table, as he began tapping it with his left finger. "Ho... hum. Which one to do first?" Ash then looked at Mister Johnson, "Oooh! Mister Johnson! Why are you called Mister Johnson? I'm going to call you Duke Radical." Ash glanced to the rest of the group, "Guys, do you want to call him..." Ash put on a bland, uninterested face, "Dull Ol' Mister Johnson? OR..." Ash played a bit of air guitar, "DUKE RADICAL!?"

Kwu leans on a nearby table, his face showing a concerned frown while waiting for Ash to finish.
"He most likely wont be alone. If he has managed to stay hidden this far, he must have some form of outside help. As much as it pains me to say, Jǐngchá arent so incompetent they couldnt find a single man, they must have their best hackers on the case."

He ponders for a moment, deep in thought...
"The world is a big place and we won't get far without leads. I'll work some of my old contacts, see if they can find any good dirt on this ENKI... If any of you find anything, hit me up, we'll go check things out."

Having said that, Kwu stands up and leaves the room while pulling out his smartphone and dialing a number.
Finding info on ENKI using Triad Enforcer: 3d6 10

The Johnson paused for a moment at the child's outburst.
"I fear I have no sugar on my person at this time. I do have a lead. Yes. I was instructed to give you this so that you might have a lead. I am now giving you this."
The man's arm jerked and stuttered as he tossed a small brown package onto the table.
"Inside of this package you will find a number of possible leads that we have gathered. Confirming them will be done on your own time."
__________
As for Kwu's contacts; the only thing they could agree upon was that no single man, however talented, could preform such feats. The explanations were quite varied, ranging from ENKI being the collective identity of a terrorist cell, a megacorp false flag operation, the Illuminati, even a few who thought he might be a space alien.
They all agreed, though: Either ENKI wasn't human, or someone was doing a very good job protecting him. Maybe both.

Ash began tearing up. "Bwaaah! B-but Mister Johnson! I want some candy or sugar! Can't you get me any!?" Ash attempted to manipulate the Johnson, using the adorableness of a child, to get him some sugar, or candy.. (Using Cute Kid) Ash stopped crying as he looked at the package, as he smiled ear to ear. "Oooh a package, with leads? I like leads! Especially leads that lead me to better drug deals! OH! Also I like leads that lead me to people who try to mess with my territory. Because then I get to watch as I make them suffer!" Ash laughed as he leaned back in his chair. Ash began clapping, "It's fun to watch those who tried to mess with my territory suffer."

Ultramax, formerly known as DW9K-U569, stood quietly in the corner and either completely ignored Ash's outburst or plain did not care. Both were quite likely, considering Ultramax was a robot designed specifically for killing people and was thus very hard to perturb, not to mention his recently achieved sself-awareness made his non-combat interactions rather stilted. "No questions. Ultramax will kill ENKI. It is Ultramax's job. Ultramax does not wish to go to war once more, so Ultramax works. How may Ultramax kill ENKI?". Ultramax was just not good at the more tactful parts of the jobs, despite his sentience and desire to not go to war again he was still very much a killbot to point at someone in order to watch them die, and usually had to be carefully directed through anything not that.

"I apologize, but I am not in possession of any candy or sugar at this time. Now then, these leads, while they may seem off-target at first, have been run through our highly advanced Holistic Detection Program. They will more likely than not lead to important information regarding ENKI."

Ash glanced at the box, as he brought it up against his nose. Ash breathed on the box for a moment, "Oooh... Leads, I like leads!" He tapped the box with his left hand, as he realized. Ash's eyes glimmered with excitement as he threw both of his arms up in the air. "YAAAAY! IT'S A PRESENT WITH LEADS!" He began tearing apart the wrapping with both hands, as he licked his lips. As he tore large pieces of wrapping off he tossed it carelessly to both sides. When the box was fully unwrapped, he held the box upside down and watched it eagerly. "Oh boy! Oh boy! I hope there is some candy there alongside the leads..."

A small black rectangle clattered onto the table, blank save for a small screen on its face which read ". WHITE CENTER BARRENS . SOUTHGATE ROLLER RINK .".
...No candy, though.

Ash glanced at the table, as he peered at the black rectangle. "White Center Barrens, Southgate Roller Rink. Huh... And..." Ash glanced at the box and frowned a bit, "Damn no candy. I will need to pick some up after investigating the leads. Oooh, oooh. and also making sure no one is trying to invade my territory." Ash tapped his right temple with his metallic hand, "Because if anyone does..." Ash beamed a huge grin ear to ear, "They get brutally, painfully, and horrifically eliminated! YAAAAAY!" Ash clapped his hands together as he looked around, "So, you guys ready to go? I am! This'll be fun, and like, we'll totally have a killer car chase where we go..." Ash gestured with his metallic hand as he moved it forward, "VROOOOM! VROOOOOM VROOOOOOM! An, an, and the people on the sidewalk will go "WAAAAH! THEY ARE DRIVING ON SIDEWALK WAAAH! An, an, an, and then we'll go VROOOOOOOM! VROOOOOOOM!"

Kwu walks back into the room, closing his cellphone.
"Some of my contacts will look into it, but no guarantees. The triads aren't closely linked with cyberterrorists"
Making his way towards the center of the room, he notices the box.
"What's that? The leads?"
Kwu grabs the box from Ash's hands.
"Hand me this, háizi. I'll handle things." He checks out the box, ignoring Ash's complaints. "White Center Barrens, Southgate Roller Rink... I heard of that place before, I'll drive. Get in the car, and dont make a mess, the seats are leather. Ultramax, you get in the back, there is enough space."

"Let's roll"

Ash glared at Kwu, "I am a Drug Kingpin you know! if you weren't part of Steelhead Inc, I'd have your entrails explode from within your own body! PEOPLE DO NOT FUCK WITH ME. As for those who try, I always need a new pair of rugs..." Ash glanced at Kwu as he used his metallic hand to point at his own eyes, then point at Kwu. Ash paused for a moment, "Oh but we totally need to go to that area the leads talked about."

Ultramax's head slumped slightly to the right as he analyzed the contents of the package. It might've looked cute in some kind of non-combat model, in Ultramax's blank, skull-like grimace it was a somewhat unsettling gesture. His intimidation protocols rarely saw use, but his appearance alone was enough to spook some people from time to time, though sometimes it just got some laughs and calls of "trying too hard". "Data insufficient, Ultramax requires further information. What is Roller Rink? How is Roller Rink connected to the mission?".

The Johnson continued staring straight ahead as he answered Ultimax.
"A roller rink is a place where people used to go to skate. It is currently home to a gang that does courier work in the area. As for how this pertains to your mission, I am quite sorry to inform you that I am not authorized to know of or reveal the inner workings of the Holistic Detection Program. It is a good idea to follow its directions. You should follow its directions. Follow the directions."

Ash clapped his hands together, "OH BOY! I could always use more peddlers for my Empire! I think I will recruit them, they are good at being couriers right? Yeah, I am going to take a few of them to do my stuff. Oh, and probably the Roller Rink if I don't already have it as part of my Drug Empire. It'll keep expanding, and expanding, and I'll get more stuff like cre-" Ash smiled from ear to ear as he glanced around, "Oh!" Ash frantically waved his right arm in the air, "OH! OH! MISTER JOHNSON! MISTER JOHNSON! WHEN ARE WE GETTING PAID? I ASKED EARLIER, BUT I WANTED CANDY SO I KINDA FORGOT UNTIL NOW! OOH SPEAKING OF CANDY, IS THERE CANDY NEAR THE ROLLER RINK?"

"We know the place and I know how to drive there. What are we waiting for? Get in the car and we'll be on our way." Kwu says, spinning his car keys around his finger.
"Everyone lay low, we dont want to be making too much waves just now... The longer we can progress without coming under ENKI's radar, the better. I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had when we find him and his allies."

As everyone makes their way out of the room, he draws close to Ash. "A real leader does not make threats like you do, he acts. You are merely an imperfect copy of a leader. You should take lessons from Yaong Qu-Ying, he knows how to make his word respected."
Turning back, he added:
"Still your so called empire is not too shabby, perhaps in time you shall make a fine man, háizi. I look forward to seeing your growth."

Ash stared at Kwu blankly. "I will remember this." He then paused for a moment as he glanced back at Ultramax, "SHOTGUN! I CALLED IT! I GET FRONT SEAT. OH, WE NEED TO DRIVE ON THE SIDEWALKS! THAT'LL BE FUN." Ash glanced at Kwu, "Where did you park?"

Ash paused for a moment, "Nah, I've got a better idea." Ash exited the Leaky Faucet as he began browsing the selection of cars in the parking lot. He pointed his metal finger at the various cars that were parked there. There were many types, from sports cars, to many old junkers. Ash walked through the parking lot. "No, no, no, no..." Ash paused for a moment as he stared at an van. It had a sleek frame and body, but most of its paint was worn off. Ash grinned ear to ear, as his left eye emitted a quick flash. Ash pointed his metallic arm at the van, as the back of its palm opened up with a loud hiss. He glanced at the holograms being produced by the screen displayed, as his left eye glowed a bit."YAAAAAAAAAY! I want this one. I'm going to hack into it, and steal it! FOR ANARCHY!"

Ultramax stomped along the hyperactive child and the chinese enforcer, heading towards the parking lot and satisfied, for lack of a better word, to finally have mission parameters. And then confusion set in when the little one broke off and went to pick a car at random. "Ultramax confused. What vehicle must Ultramax board to approach mission objective?"

Ash glanced at Ultramax, "The one I just got. We are taking that one." Ash opened the door to the Van, as he gestured to Ultramax. "Come on! Come on! Get in, this is going to be totally, awesome, wicked fun!" Ash grinned ear to ear, as the back piece of his palm shut with a loud click. He jumped inside the vehicle, as he sat in the driver's seat. "Oooh! Ooh... Let's see." Ash turned on the radio, as he began flicking through the stations, seeing all the choices available. "Also... VAN, GRIDLINK SET DESTINATION TO NEAREST BURGER SHOP. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE, SET CO-ORDINATES TO SOUTH GATE ROLLER RINK."
