"This whole district stinks anyway. I don't know how we'd tell the difference. Have you got your datapad?"
"Yeah, where's yours?"
"I make a habit of leaving it at the station these days. I don't like the idea that it might be recording me."
"You have to stop with these conspiracy theories."
"Call it survival instinct. Anyway, give me a scan of the warehouses within a few blocks of here. Any tagged with gangs or crews that we know?"
"Let me see. Yeah - two. One is tied to a company that's a front for the Twin Snakes. The other one is a stash site for Vine Storm Collective."
"Vine Storm. Interesting. I think we'll need to pay Tench a visit."
