Logs // Maverick - Upgrade // Two SEC agents walk into Shaw Industries...

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

6.30am // Moira, after speaking to Shaw himself by teleconference, goes to tell Alison the bad news: the delivery of new cyberware for Haroun is indeed being purposely blocked.

Needless to say, the news triggers a reaction.

( I am city // I am the park // I am glow in the motherfucking dark // I am shocked and I seethe // I don't want to believe no more  )

~*~

When you decide to do something a little crazy, you might as well stack the odds in your favor. Too bad Shaw didn't do that. Cain gets to step our of the decontamination chamber a bit sooner than planned thanks to his invulnerability. It's not fun. He is also handed a very big shiny present a few months before Christmas. It makes up for the not fun.

( Where you're hiding, the shine off the wall // Stop giving it up now cause you're gonna find yourself a mastermind in time // Rockstar, what's mine is yours // Rockstar, you're looking good // You're looking to find a fight )

~*~

The Plan is simple. Go in, break stuff, take what you want and then walk away. Agents Guy Incognito and Carlotta Divine are on the job, and who needs to complicate things with a Plan B anyway?

( Well, it's one for the money // Two for the show // Three to get ready // Now go, cat, go )

~*~

Cain gets his present and has much fun. Alison lets the boys play to their hearts' content while getting a little work done. The Shaw Industries building and main entrance outside get something of a redesign.

( When figures from the past stand tall // And mocking voices ring the hall // Imperialistic house of prayer // Conquistadores who took their share )

~*~

It's amazing how attitudes change when the paperwork is put into order. Alison and Cain go pick up the parts needed for Haroun, the whole process going off without a hitch. Which is just plain normal when you consider the circumstances.

( We walked the narrow path, beneath the smoking skies // Sometimes you can barely tell the difference between darkness and light // Do you have faith in what we believe? // The truest test is when we cannot, when we cannot see. )

(no subject)

Terry answers the phone and finds herself speaking to the only man who can save Haroun.

( I am going to need you to write down exactly what I am about to tell you )

log: Manuel and Danielle at the mall

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

Manuel promised to take Danielle shopping a couple days ago, so they are. He teaches her to walk in heels and they end the outing on a very risque note. There might be a girly girl trying to get out...or not.

( I wanna be a supermodel! )

Amanda, Manuel - Friday night

[xp_daytripper]

In the midst of drama... melodrama! Actually, no - Manuel drops by after his shopping trip with Dani, deciding it's time to find out just where his relationship with Amanda stands. He's probably more satisfied with where they end up than she is.

( Even though I'm the sacrifice/ you won't try for me, not now/ Though I'd die to know you love me/ I'm all alone. )
