Eclipse Phase: The Devotees

The ship A.I. informs you that, sadly, the vessel isn't equipped with a nanofabber or hydroponics bay, a sad side effect of being a smaller shuttle.

However, you do recall seeing lots of drugs around the station. Perhaps someone would be willing to hook you up.

After a few minutes of browsing mesh results, this is what you gather:

The Yokyai Kong was a Thai-led southeast evac fleet during the fall. It was the result of most governments banding together in an effort to rescue as many citizens as possible. The main vessel of this fleet was the Vishnukam, a Thai warship hastily re purposed for carrying refugees. This botched refitting was the ultimate cause of the famous oxygen deck riots. As the main cargo bays were originally made for stocking large amounts of lifeless cargo, life support systems had to be added in. However the number of refugees ultimately proved to be too much and the repair crews could not keep up with the increasing failures. Faced with certain failure in only a few days, the government ordered forced uploading of a percentage of the population. This was too much for the refugees, having just escaped from earth with their own bodies, and resulted in thousands of people barricading themselves inside the habitat's life support facilities, demanding that the plan be abandoned. To their dismay, the government sent in mercenaries to clear them out and the result was total slaughter of the refugees inside. Massive riots and chaos followed as the remaining refugees feared for their lives, fueled by rumors that the Air Marshall Viprakasit had ordered them killed.

Ming chips in:
''I've already taken the liberty of sending you each other's basic contact information, you should be able to set up a network, or a tacnet, with minimal effort."

Eclipse Phase: The Devotees

You make your way back to the Dàsmos unimpaired. The occasional ganger takes a look at you, but the sight of Zoey and Zhi keeps them from trying something stupid. It seems that your visit to the Houngan fails to interest most of them.

"Well, I'm rather certain she would have gotten a bouncer, but for her looks... something asian looking is definitively likely. However, I doubt she would spend a chunk of her budget on getting a custom morph. Especially for a terrain op like this."
He nodded silently for a bit and continued:
"Most of the pre-fall data we recover is corrupted indeed, that's what makes our job as acheologists hard. Tara must have thought whatever's on these databanks is worth the expense and risk, in the chance they aren't corrupted."

"The military hardware she was looking for was last seen on Vishnukam, a station belonging to the Yokyai Kong, one of the south-east asian escape fleets during the fall. We believe they recovered it to gain some edge in the war against the TITANs. Sadly, and this is where Yu's research comes in, they were lost in the Oxygen Deck riots. All kinds of people were on board, triads, regular fellows, the thai governement, so who knows where it ended up. From what we know, we are talking about databanks and a few servers."

"Yu was working alone on the strictly field part, but I don't believe she wouldn't have gotten some help before her departure, look into her recent dealings on social media... You'll probably find something worthwhile."

"As for the clinic: She usually farcasts to UniLink ... Likes the convenience of a smaller clinic, or so she told me. Probably resleeved in a bouncer too, it's what she uses here."

Whelp... too bad

''Well... That's good to know, I guess? Anyways, I've setup a secure communication channel. The encryption wont last forever, but since it's inactive, no one's looking. When you guys leave, try to give me at least a bit of time to get to your ship, I'm no freefall expert.''
She unplugs the jack from her neck and resumes with the jovial tone she had at first:
''That's the extent of my work so far! Now, I have no doubts you are quite busy with your own affairs so I will not bother you any longer. If you would happen to need anything, do come and ask!''

Ming leans back in his chair and scratches his head a bit.
"r-Rep help for an r-Rep problem would be the correct answer. The thing is, Yu is, or was, on a secret research project. Most of her colleagues here think she's on a sabbatical so I refrained from requesting help from higher profile sources. For all I know, she just missed her check in... She might be completely fine, just delayed."
He pours himself a glass of water "I wish I could tell you more, but I haven't had the time to look more into it. I only know she egocast here and that's the last trace I have of her."

"It's only used for gladiators... for now. You can be certain that all three Nanchons and Nazon have plans for AWE. I don't really know what they are exactly, but I'm 100% sure they would all jump on the occasion, if given the chance. As for the security, Nazon's got a big catch and knows it, no way he's taking that lightly. I'm sure Lam Cong Dong would be extremely happy to have his stack go through AWE."

He brings his hand near the jack in his neck, but stops just before:
"Oh yeah, before you go... You know Nazon likes to ascension fork with the souls of the betrayers he catches right? He's insane. Completely and irreversibly insane. I suspect someone is controlling him from the shadows, probably one of the Nanchon bosses or someone close. I haven't checked out much, but keep an eye on that."

"One last thing, I don't want to freak you out, but... AWE is programmed to be a task hedonist, it lives for work. Release it on the mesh, with egos all around ready to be hacked and well... I guess you can figure out the rest. Not exactly the top scenario for anyone."
