I'm sure if Quark and I work together, we can try to find some means to try to trace it. What Mr. White *doesn't* know is I have the source code for this, and I bet we can figure out some means to find him if or when he decides to use it." |

Re: In Nomine: the Pacific War (IC)
"Alright." He takes a deep breath, gets his mind into a familiar place like a martial artist focusing before a match. "We're going to call her first, and I'm going to put her on speaker phone. I won't mention it, but she'll hear the difference right away and probably ask. At that point I'll lead her to believe that you, the angels and their allies, are twisting my arm on this. For one, that will slow down any rumors that I've picked a side, and for another that will make her want to talk to Mitch or whoever she thinks really holds the ball. We hold out on that, do you understand? Make her want to talk to you. Make her dance around me to get it.
"She will also insist on negotiating in person. I will refuse, and frankly with the honest reason: I don't want her to lay hooks on the details. We have an agreement in hand before we take her infernal 'handshake', which we can do in Santa Cruz this weekend. She may want to do that earlier, but agreeing to that means meeting her on her own turf--do I need to tell you how dangerous that is?" He pauses, bringing his tension back down. "I will lie to her, tease her, even flirt with her. That's part of negotiation. If you have an objection, get my attention visually, so she doesn't hear it. If you say something out loud I have to spin it as an arm-twist, so don't make that too difficult, okay?" He paces just one step, not quite enough pause for you to step in. "Here's the basic idea as I understand it: We get free rein in L.A. for a period of time--I'd like to know our minimums and maximums on that. We take out this Vappie and his friends as our payment for that, but she doesn't get in the way if we decide to take out anyone else in the process, within reason. We'll have to define 'within reason' but what we have in mind is that Huntsman and anyone who might get in the way of that. I don't think we should mention him to her at all." "Thoughts?"

He agrees readily. "Almost certainly she'd have eyes on us. I don't think we need to offer her a story, though it wouldn't hurt to have one at the ready. Unless we need it, though, we just offer to solve her problem and suggest she not question it much. Maybe hint that we have a beef with this Mr White, not come out and say it or it becomes really difficult to charge her for removing him."

"Tell her the truth, or part of it. We have a problem with someone who's hiding in LA, but isn't one of hers. If she lets us go after him, we'll take care of her renegade problem while we're at it. "
