The picture shows a first-person view via a cyber-camera. A slight
green wash covers the image, making it appear to be daytime viewed
through green-sunglasses. A time is displayed in the lower left
corner and a second, smaller video window is in the upper right
corner.
The smaller window shows a fixed image of a low-light camera
watching the entrance to an alley. A black-garbed figure can be
barely seen entering the alleyway, but he seems to meld with the
shadows making it very difficult to follow for any length of time. A
red neon sign hangs above and to the left of the alley beckoning
people into Wang's Eats.
The main image jitters a bit from the owner running and stops
crouching at the head of a flight of narrow concrete stairs that head
down to a basement entrance. Morgue has a stocky, short submachne gun
level down the stairs as he duck walks up to the top of the stairs,
receiving an empty staiway below.
Morgue takes out a small electronic device and runs it along the
top of the stairs and the walls that flank the stairs. A green ight
remains lit the entire time. He then checks the first three steps for
any kind of pressure sensor. Findng none he heads down to the bottom
of the stairs, checking each step with a scan of the electronic
device.
The door at the bottom is a heavy construction plastic/steel door
with a small black plastic casing where a lock would be. Morgue takes
out an aerosal can and sprays along the edges and then takes of an
electronics kit revealing several prods, wires, clips, small
components, etc...The casing reveals a high-level maglock. Within
thirty-seconds, the door is unlocked.
Inside is a small front foyer with a plastic counter, store of
sorts. There are posters from most of the big name weapons
manufacturers on the walls and two benches line the side walls. There
is a door behind and to the right of the counter. Morgue takes out
several electronic devices, attached one to the front door, attaches
a second at the base of the wall a foot from the door. The third is
used to sweep the floor while alternately letting out short jetts
from the aerosal can. Morgue makes his way to behind the counter and
seeing nothing of interest turns to the other door.
This door does not seem to have any security and within twenty
seconds, Morgue enters the backroom. The backroom is a cluttered
workshop. Two large synthwood tables dominate the center of the room,
weapon parts scattered about them. A large armorer's workdesk,
including fine machining tools, is in one of the far corners and
another door is on the opposite side of the room. Morgue scans again
for traps or security, but none can be detected.
Morgue heads over to the workdesk a checks out the various small
drawers and slots that are filled with envelopes, unlabeled boxes,
and other firearms' parts. A black plastic case, similar to a large
cigar case is picked up for more indepth examination, revealing a
post-it note stuck to it with the name "Stephen Nicholas" and >LTG
Number< . Open the case reveals half a dozen expertly crafted large
caliber rounds at least 12.5 mm in size.
A hiss is heard from the far side of the room, and Morgue whips
about dropping to a firing position. A few seconds of silence pass
and Morgue slowly places the case back where he had found it. About
this time, a large snake-like creature can be seen emerging from a
hidden trap door. As it writhes into the room, to rises up, revealing
a twisted human-like face: a Naga.
Morgue slowly stands and walks quietly backwards towards the door
he entered, always keeping his weapon trained on the creature. It
notices movement as Morgue reaches behind to open the door. It drops
from sight behind the large table and can be heard slithering quickly
towards Morgue. He twists the handle and slips behind the door as the
Naga glides out from under the nearest table. The door is shut
firmly. Morgue heads back to the main door, removes the electronic
devices, and slips outside. Outside, he checks the door to make sure
there are no signs of entry and then starts heading up the stairs.

As you can see, it appears Orion is actually Stephan Nicholas. The
surveillance of Chun's is still being maintained and I plan on
planting a tracking signal on Chun's vehicle later tonight. I suggest
that our attentions turn towards finding more about Mr. Nicholas,
including place of residency and any patterns he might have.]<<<<<
