I'd say do a deal with Prime. Prime gave him the AI, and the AI is not up to this job. Now he has evidence that The Dark is indirectly linked to Shock, Prime may be more likely to give more assistance. I would expect that he'll ask Gloom to do a bit of dirty work for him whilst he's in there as a return favour, though.

If he meets with Prime it would probably be on Prime's premises, and he's got too good reasons to betray Gloom (like popularity) to be trusted right now. Also, even if he doesn't, he might simply chicken out and deny all connections with him.
A worker might do something stupid, like trusting the police with beeing efficient enough to save his family.

I say contact Greaser and his gang, but not in person, use the AI to commune with them over the net.

I'm an advocate of the 'do it yourself'. Gavin can't trust anyone now. He'll have to work his way in the old school James Bond kinda way. Find a weak spot and punch a hole through the roof or something. Otherwise, roughing up an employee, such as a janitor, in order to gain a key or something might be necessary.

Does he have to get in there? It seems a bit risky to me. Maybe he can look elsewhere. Perhaps seek out Malice Shock himself or something, or perhaps its time to interrogate Farthing more, in teh subtle method Gloom has. Wink

If its how to get in though, do some scouting about first, then contact the Grease gang, but like Mastermind said, through a AI connection, then get them to guide him remotely inside.

hmm, tough one Dark.

He needs info on what is going on inside, or he needs to get inside? Why not see if there are any trucks going in and out and hijack one. see what they are shipping. then ascertain if he really needs to get inside or not. If he does, well, perhaps he can pose as a driver or something, which would require some great plastic mask work and some ingenious way of getting past the guards that surely hang about the building.

Nicely done work, as always!

He does not have to go inside now if you readers vote that way. Other suggestions are welcome too.

Well done Dark, like always. Smile

I'd say he clings under the truck. You know, like he hides in the sewers, under the shaft, and when he truck passes, quickly goes and grabs something under it to hold on. If they don't have any sensors, it should be fine.

I say we go hi-tech. Contact the Greasers like MM said and have them guide him through remotely, William Gibson style in cyberspace.
