Bird grabs the Dwarf's arm.
"Hey hey hey... come on chummer, you can kill each other later. Right now though it can wait until the nice man finishes his pitch."

"This is none of your business, let us handle our problems ourselves."

Mjölnir breaks free from his grip and continues towards the door. As he is about to leave, Everett makes a remark that stops him in his tracks:

"You two leave, chances are very good that yer not coming back inside for one reason or another."

Through a combination of indifference and reverse psychology, the idea that his actions may have consequences finally gets inside his thick skull. Although still angry, Mjölnir isn't going to risk money just because of a racist's stupid comments. Mjölnir turns to Stroheim.

"We can kill each-other later, right now we have a meeting to attend."

He then goes to sit back down.

"My names' Mjölnir. Can someone get me a towel?"

"Backing down shortstack? Smartest move you made all night. Never thought I could see something so cowardly with so much alcohol in it."

[Aseaheru]

"If yer gonna antagonize half the team with your raciest dreck, you can just go and frag yerself. We dont need a loudmouthed, over-sexed manbaby who seems to only be good at nearly getting themselves shot and everyone hating them."

"And I don't need a halfer and trog getting in my way. Don't need some wimp moron or pretty boy in my way either. I said I'm taking the job, the rest of you can go back to whatever back alley you call home if you don't like it."

"If you think that's best for your health."
Bird says taking his seat again.

The man blinks, then looks to the side, and makes some taps in AR.
"Subject Stroheim, age 24... ties to various radical anti-metahuman groups, no longer associates because of reasons unknown... Anyways. Mr. Stroheim. I'm sure that you have your reasons for... distaste... of other species. However, I believe that if you were not willing to distance yourself from that, you would not be currently unemployed and sitting here on these nice couches and 'enjoying' drinks. So I must ask you nicely to please put a sock into it, as the expression goes. You are much more expendable than the rest of the team, which you seem to have rapidly alienated. These people, if you do choose to take the job, will be the people in charge of keeping you alive in the business that we are going into. And the last thing that you want is the people watching your back to dislike you. So I suggest you either make for the door, or try to not annoy those around you."
Eximious then looks at the rest of you.
"For everyone else here, let's not rush to the fighting. That energy can be directed to more productive endeavors. Assuming everyone decides to stay, feel free to consider the work I will offer you a trial run. If you decide not to stay after one go at it, I won't object, assuming you keep all relevant details secret." He taps at something else in AR "No one else has really committed to working, so I'm asking for a simple Yes or No. Once all the people who say no have left, we can move onto the briefing."

[kj1225]

"It's a yes from me."

[heydude6]

"They aren't like the old gang" Mjölnir coughs in a way that was obviously trying to convey a secret message but no one seems to make out what he was trying to say.

"But sure, I'll say yes. Everyone at the bar knows I need the money." Mjölnir then adds, "And again, can I please have a towel?! "

[Aseaheru]

"Dont have a towel on me, sorry. And I need my sweater."

 "Also, thats a yes on the job for me."

[Stirk]

"I already said I'm taking it. You don't need me to tell you how to do your job, and I don't need you to tell me how to do mine."

"They aren't like the old gang" Mjölnir coughs in a way that was obviously trying to convey a secret message but no one seems to make out what he was trying to say.

"But sure, I'll say yes. Everyone at the bar knows I need the money." Mjölnir then adds, "And again, can I please have a towel?! "

((Who brings a towel to a meeting in a nightclub? Is Ford Prefect a runner now?))

[kj1225]

"I don't blame him for thinking he does."

[Zormod]

"It's a yes here, too."

[VoidSlayer]

A man in his mid 40s, balding with a full but well trimmed brown beard nods to Nails when he thanks him for the drink, although he still wears the slight scowl he had on entering.  IT does not look like it is to anyone in the room in particular.

He looks about to speak when the two start going back and forth and he turns to a slight grin and stays silent, then snaps back to a frown as the Johnson, or fixer, starts speaking.

Name is Wrath.  Magic and such, hope you enjoyed the drinks, I am in.

He throws a cloth napkin provided with the tray of drinks over to Mjölnir, right past the hologram.

[heydude6]

Mjölnir fails to catch the towel and it ends up hitting him right in the face. He takes it off revealing an expression of incredible rage, but when he sees what exactly hit him, he calms down and begins wiping himself.

"Thanks." Mjölnir looks at the rest of the crowd, "Now was that so hard?"

Having finished wiping his face, Mjölnir takes off his helmet and begins scrubbing it with the towel. It makes an annoying squeaky sound.

"Shut up, I'm not done with you yet."

"Excellent, now with that sorted, we can move on to why I gathered you here today."

Eximious makes a final note in AR, and then focuses on you

"Now, here is the situation. A regular contact of mine asked for a team, but apparently due him contracting, I quote, 'A direct case of lead poisoning' means he won't be able to meet you at this time. So he asked me to brief the team for this one, and looking over the details I believe it should be a fairly normal job. All you need to know about your client this time is that he's legit. Perhaps you'll meet him in the future.

"According to him, he needs you to steal a certain cargo container that's currently in a interesting situation. The cargo container is currently located at a Saeder-Krupp Specialist Engineering Warehouse at Dash Point. It's actually not too far from here. The deal is our client needs this container, which according to him contain some kind of specialty pipe or another that he needs for his construction project that is very rare and apparently also all being bought out by S-K. Now, this is setting back his construction project, which is unacceptable. So he's decided to have them taken. Normally these pipes are shipped to the construction site directly, but right now a container of them is sitting in the warehouse that I described.
The container is currently located in Warehouse C of the compound. You'll be able to tell which one it is due to it's unique white color. Security will be light, this place usually just stores construction supplies, so they're not concerned about runners as much as vandals. Payout is 3000 NuYen for each of you, with a 1000‎ NuYen bonus if you manage to steal the conctainer without getting caught in the act. No negotiation this time, but next time you'll have a chance to meet your client you can take it up with him.
Any questions?
