Disposible handle for this one. Seriously. I'm leaking this news before the newsies are releasing it.
The 1,2,3-killer is dead. Sort of. Robot of sorts. Better than the synth-intelligence I've seen. And that whole trippling himself thing. Holy crap batman! They appeared from nowhere. (I was unable to get that footage unfortunately. There is some nice footage of him screwing with people's targeting, though. Seriously. They swear that they were targeting properly, and so do their smartlinks. The footage clearly shows that they weren't pointing anywhere near him.
Yeah. He was tracked though the lift network and through some public spots of the underhive. Not deepest, darkest underhive, but still a bit lower than home. Probably safer in my nice, safe mainframe. Yes, who's a good mainframe? You are! Yes, you are! I'm going to be a bit flakey in and out of the net since she's due an upgrade.
Incidentally, for those of you who were betting on what was behind the sextuple murder - technomancy apparantly. Robot had a note on it. Something about how this doesn't defeat the technomancer. So it was tech and magic. Apparantly. No, they didn't let me get that note within range of my eyes :'( Possibly no psychers involved (this time).
Oh, and the robot/golem/homunculus was the husband of the first victim. Who had an alibi for death 1. Anyone with r00t on appropriate EF 'puters fire up your engines. The official and unofficial reports will make nice bedtime reading.
And he was paying us to find out who had killed his wife. So he could vigiantee his arse. Well, we did find out who killed his wife. It was him. I think. Or this "technomancer". I don't like this. It was definately "the technomancer". Not "a technomancer" or "Bob, the technomancer". High and mighty. You know what? He's probably on this bbs, one way or another. If so, hello The Technomancer. Nice work.
So, to catalogue what artefacts were found in connection with this event:
* EMP bomb. Fucking hell this thing is scary to the unshielded techie. Everything in a radius shut down for a few minutes. No cam footage. Of course, it triggers the alarms in things outside the range that are monitoring those cameras (and these killings were uphive) but why care? He was long gone by then. More of a "You don't get to see my uber-leet kit n00bs!" Possibly rechargable. I'm going to prod some footage I got of it. Poor thing got shot.
* Robot killing machine. So many features mentioned above. Split into 3, make people point guns not at him. Didn't work in the end though...
From what I heard, one of the splits was more real than the others. There were 3 in the Marketplace, one got out and the others disappeared. That was the footage you got that led to identifying the d00d in hospital (he'd just shot his way out of when they arrived. Didn't even tell me they'd set off. Just left me connected up to the mainframe.)
Also, people went from practically dead to somewhat bruised when the copies disappeared. Sort of like the universe forgot that they were using riot rounds. And they were basically indestructable. Someone shot one so much and it didn't care. Just kept unloading its shotgun into him.
And hang on a moment. The guy bled. Wasn't purely robot. Johnson handed over a blood sample.
Why do I have the awful feeling we'll be hearing from this Technomancer again?
