Lana makes a trip to the White Tower disguised as a body guard at a debutante's coming out party. While casing the lavish apartment of Don Forrester, high level executive in Hexia Corp., Lana makes an upsetting discovery. Don Forrester, businessman, proud family man and father, is a sexual deviant with a thing for Mutie females. (Mutants are exiled from Mega-City One to the Cursed Earth and harbouring a mutant can net a citizen time in the Iso-Cubes or exile into the Cursed Earth. However, "mutant traffickers" will smuggle mutants into Mega-City One for huge sums of money and for all manner of heinous reasons dealing with organ harvesting, experimentation or sexual slavery). 11/04/16 08:52) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Thief | Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | PoD - [ The White Tower ] -Is currently somewhere within the White Tower located in the northern sector of Mega-City One. Home to the rich and famous.- says to ALL: |…Another day, another credit to be made…or stolen in the case of Lana whose world revolved around getting what she needed and wanted at the expense of another. She was a true daughter of Mega-City One which raised its sons and daughters to make do anyway they could. The law was powerful for sure but so was the will to survive and ‘get mine’. That’s all Lana concerned herself with for the most part, surviving, but also getting what was hers even if someone else laid temporary claim to all that she desired…| |…Recently, Lana had come to possess a unique piece of technology simply termed a “Face Changer” allowing the user to upload the image of another’s face in order to project a holographic replication which would disguise the user. A compact device that was inserted into the base of her neck it allowed Lana to effectively shift her features into that of another individual so long as the device she was interfacing with was not disrupted or damaged. Currently patrolling the halls of a large, spacious dwelling in the White Tower, Lana had adopted the likeness of a burly security guard employed at a party celebrating some dumb teenage debutante. Even in a world that had advanced as much as theirs had old, strange traditions such as ‘coming out’ parties were still adhered to and while tradition did not disgust Lana the obscene amount of wealth on display at this gathering certainly did…| |…After sometime spent prowling the rooms and corridors Lana eventually decided to begin casing the back areas that were not in use, putting to memory the lay out and also any security features that were in place. It was tempting to make a move now and begin lifting items any of which would net her a handsome price but like a good thief she knew the surface wealth was not where the real score was. A place like this would have hidden safes and vaults where the true valuables were being held and the trick was learning where they were located. With a sharp eye she scanned the doors and walls, looking for anything out of place to indicate independent power sources running all manner of security features which effectively acted as the “X” marking the sweet spot of a hidden safe or vault…| 1/04/16 09:16) .

Home to the rich and famous.- says to ALL: |…Lana in her current disguise was also aware of cameras watching her every move as well as the rest of the party goers who were heard in the background as wild laughter and applause erupted from elsewhere in the lavish apartment. The family was well off, the father being a high level executive in Hexia Corp., the largest and most powerful conglomerate in Mega-City One. In fact, many of the residents had ties to Hexia and it wouldn’t surprise Lana to know that the tower itself was likely constructed with Hexia funds. Certainly the dwellings were equipped with enough tech and robot servitors to suggest Hexia’s fingerprints were all over the planning of this Tower but technology was not without faults or failings which is why even families like this hired human bodyguards…| |…Venturing deeper into the back areas Lana was passed by maids and servers who only barely acknowledged the presence of the wandering bodyguard who Lana was currently disguised as. Most were in a rush, consumed by the worries and concerns of catering a large scale event like the one taking place in the main rooms of the apartment. Elsewhere in the kitchen sounds of frantic activity were heard while chefs and servers shouted out orders and kept this well oiled machine running. Eventually turning off into another corridor away from the kitchen Lana would find herself in the quieter areas of the abode which seemed to be comprised mostly of storage areas and rooms. Even these were larger than Lana’s own apartment dwelling back in Peach Trees and her disgust found her again when she opened one room to find it filled with nothing but racks of clothing, much of labelled as ‘last year’ and ‘incinerate’. Rolling her eyes at the waste of the filthy rich she’d carry on making it appear she was simply doing her duty and performing a thorough check of the place. No corner would be over looked or dismissed and if confronted about her pattern Lana’s ‘guard’ would simply imply he was a keener who took his duty very, very seriously. Perps in Mega-City One are getting craftier by the day he’d reason, and their desperation knows no bounds which is why it pays to be sure…| 1/04/16 09:37) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Thief | Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | PoD - [ The White Tower ] -Is currently somewhere within the White Tower located in the northern sector of Mega-City One. Home to the rich and famous.- says to ALL: |…In her wanderings and explorations Lana would come upon a back room that was locked via a keypad next to the reinforced blast proof door. It might be a panic room which many apartments in upscale Mega-City One were equipped with but Lana was the type that needed to know one way or another. Reaching into the breast pocket of her jacket Lana, still disguised as a male bodyguard in typical black, tailored suit, would produce a small device which she immediately plugged into the keypad. One of the Peach Trees techies who worked closely with the Vancer gang had provided her with this bit of gear at a costly sum which essentially deciphered encrypted devices allowing her access. As the device was powered and went to work cracking the access code the door would eventually slide open a moment later to reveal not a panic room…quite the opposite in fact…| |…With a brow arching Lana observed what appeared to be a sex dungeon which was not shocking so much as extremely disappointing to the thief who looked on beyond her holographic disguise at the room furnished with leather swings, chains, racks and whips. All that work and effort for nothing it seems but as she removed the “Master Key” device from the keypad Lana heard voices and soon footfalls indicating that someone was coming. Returning the device to her jacket Lana would scan the corridor quickly before determining she had to keep going forward, not back, until eventually ducking behind the corner of an adjoining hall that actually concluded in a dead end. Although effectively trapped as the voices, all male, drew closer the disguised thief was not losing her cool and in fact reached now to a pack of very illegal cigarettes she carried on her persons. If found out and confronted about why he was here in the backrooms the security guard would cop to his bad habit of cigarette addiction which prompted him to find a quiet spot to take a puff for two in secret. Smoking outside the Smokatorium was quite illegal but it was unlikely the guard would get into too much trouble. The rich don’t care, they have their own vices which Lana was now learning as the men, perhaps 4 or 5, she couldn’t quite tell, could be heard talking about the new ‘toy’ that Don Forrester, the owner of the apartment, had just picked up. By the laughter and snickering it was clear whatever was housed in the room it too was probably illegal…| 11/04/16 09:55) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h .

Home to the rich and famous.- says to ALL: |…Creeping closer to the corner she had ducked behind to listen more closely Lana would dare to try and get a glimpse at how many men were in the group. The door to the private “play room” was opened and she observed three clean, yuppie looking men lingering within it while in the room two more voices poured out. So five. Still too many for Lana to take on her own if somehow this all went south and her disguise was distorted, but turning away to press her back against the wall behind her and wait out the little bit of show and tell that Forrester was putting on for his buds, Lana listened as that smarmy voice echoed faintly from a duct overhead which allowed fresh air to enter the room. What she heard made her blood run cold as moments later the sounds of a female in distress reached Lana’s ears as a whip was cracked and heard crackling against flesh. Laughter and suggestive heckling rang out from the group while one was heard exclaiming with excitement, “A real live mutie!—and holy shit she has three tits!” meaning the toy was a female mutant of some kind likely smuggled in from the wastes bordering Mega-City One known as the Cursed Earth…| |…Harbouring a mutant was also quite illegal and could result in time in the Iso-Cubes or exile in the Cursed Earth but it was unlikely a man as rich and high as Don Forrester would ever be discovered given the amount of money he spread around to cover his tracks. Forcing herself to remain hidden Lana had no sympathy for mutants, or anyone else for that matter, but she did have some experience in being preyed upon by men in Mega-City One. As hard as she was Lana was not immune either to the shrieks of pain and fear elicited from the female captive as she reacted to the harsh treatment being dealt to her. It was not long either until the grunts of the men taking their turns on the captive spilled out into the corridor either as the group didn’t even bother closing the door to disguise their activities. Her disgust once again swelled up within Lana and briefly she contemplated ambushing the group of men and unloading the clip in her pistol. However, her pragmatism won out of over the rage boiling through her veins and in her hiding spot Lana considered other scenarios and strategies that might result in her getting her revenge. Not because she gave a shit about mutants, or even rape, but because the excess displayed here today had provoked something in her, something dark and desiring to be fed…| 11/04/16 10:28) .

Laughter and more jokes followed that statement before the group departed though not before Forrester put the room back on lock down again. Although her skin crawled and her anger still retained its powerful hold over her Lana did not move immediately to follow and make her departure. Nor did she hurry to save the mutant woman held captive either though. Lana was not that reckless or stupid, and always her own well being was her first priority. There was nothing to gain from risking herself to save another she knew and with the kind of casual callousness a place like Mega tends to create in its inhabitants, Lana finally moved to head off to do another round before ditching her disguise and returning home. Despite all she knew and seen in the Peach Trees it somehow felt less dirty than this place with its rich, gleaming façade disguising the true rot and filth that existed beneath it. The rich were no different than the savage animals of the Peach Trees and the lower districts of Mega-City One, only difference was men like Red and others were honest and blatant about the darkness that drove them. This, whatever it was she discovered, was much different and unsettling to Lana, it was a perversion she could not understand let alone relate to. All it did was drive her away with the intent to return another day though to do what? She wasn’t quite sure of the answer but Lana was finding herself shoved into new territory both within the city of her birth, and now within herself…| |
