Snippet #2714167

Shimizu, or rather Gabriel looked up and around, but Kusanagi's voice rang in his head, pinged through his Cybercomm.

"Hurry up, we're being watched."

"I need you to retrieve something for me, the problem is, that something is in a rather secure region of space." Shimizu said as he walked around, facial recognition would likely get a hit at this point. Depending on the database and if they knew their media sources, the man could be easily identified as Crown Prince Takayama, of the Taiyou Empire.

An extraordinarily cunning and powerful individual, who had fallen out of Galactic Politics in recent years following his coup against his father.

The Synethetic nature and the obscuring glasses the woman wore did not enable any hits, but common sense likely played into her identification.

Once in front of Alex, Shimizu produced a small manila folder from his blazer, there was a picture, nothing more and nothing less.

"It's called a Zero Point Module, I have reliable intelligence on the location of one, and such a device would be vital to attaining my goals."

Nodding to the woman, she reached into the SUV And grabbed a large briefcase, hefting it with relative ease.

She extended the briefcase to Alex, and opened it to show it was not rigged with explosives. Rather the briefcase was filled with gold bullion. "This is an advance payment, you will recieve more upon completion of your task."

The gold was real, but a tracking device had been carefully embedded in the gold itself, designed to activate on a timer to avoid detection until it was too late.

"This module is somewhere on the planet Langara. I hope you're familiar with it, it's either in the provinces of Picon, or Caprica."
