Summary
Field Mouse is recruited by Rose of Sharon Howlett to track down locals who had been kidnapped, fearing a possible infected killing spree. Mouse met many future friends along the way, and managed to save one young lady from impending drainy doom.
Background
Field Mouse once tracked the aura of Cry through communing with spirits and convincedRose of Sharon Howlett to rescue her. As such, he owes Rose at least several favors.
The Phone Call
Rose of Sharon Howlett contacted Field Mouse on his crime phone, which is his normal phone because god bless him, he is the smartest idiot you know. Denied the option of leaving early, Mouse hurriedly graded papers while pouring over the dossiers Rose provided looking for patterns. He then ran quick matrix searches on all five targets: Reva Nigel, Amanda Acardi, Pierce Kegan, Ulrich O'Kane, and Tim Vaughn.
Mouse's Notes
OKAY SO, like, Rose contacts me and I'm like AHH! WHY WOULD YOU NEED MY HELP YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL INFECTED HUNTER?! But, there was also something SUPER neat about someone like Rose even thinking of me! I think Rose has some respect for me because I tracked down...something a while back that she helped me with.
SO! I was going to go look for these people right away, but my professor was like "NO MR. MOUSE, I SHOULD HAVE GRADED STUFF BEFORE BUT I SAT ON MY BIG OL' BUTT AND NOW YOU NEED TO GET THEM DONE TODAY!" Which--that was mean and I shouldn't do impressions and I'm sorry but also it's kind of true that's how he's acting!
The nice thing about being on campus is that their terminals are so much better than my commlink! So I got to look up information about all the people who had gone missing. It was SUPER SAD but also I got an idea of who they were! Reva and Amanda were doctoral students. They had regular ware stuff...like metabolic stuff and data jacks. One had cerebral boosters to make themselves smarter WHICH IS CHEATING I MIGHT ADD! AHH! They were both dead, and they had found the bodies dumped in Puyallup. That was really sad and I felt like maybe I shouldn't be upset about the boosters because now they're dead and THAT MADE ME A HUGE JERK I'M SO SORRY, AMANDA! I know we'd have been friends.
There was ALSO a professor who went missing named Pierce Kegan. That's really scary! Why didn't campus lock down?! He had a cyberarm and a cyberleg, I think from an accident, but maybe because they LOOK SUPER AWESOME! He was dead, too. But, after three dead people on campus, no vigils and no shutting down campus. Were they covering it up or is this normal?!?!?
There were two others, who I hoped were still alive:
First, Ulrich O'Kane. He had a name that sounded like a super villain from a trideo, and was doing like EVERY job. He was a security guard, and worked other stuff to try to pay for his college! His commcode didn't ring anywhere, maybe disconnected, but he lived in the student housing! He didn't have any ware from what I could see, which isn't super common for people in college! A lot of us use datajacks unless you're awakened like me! THAT WAS A CLUE, I figured...but I couldn't call and ask him anything because like he was already gone.
If he didn't have any ware, that might make him a good target for a vampire, but it could also mean he WAS a vampire! He seemed to work at night a lot!
Also, there was Tim Vaughn. I couldn't find much on them. I'll be honest, I think my luck ((the dice, cough)) just ran out trying to learn about them!
