Right inbetween two skyscrapers in northern Central City is the 12 floor Greene Apartment Complex. The complex's populace mainly consists of seniors, but has many younger tenants as well. The buildings are almost a century old and date back to the year 2013. Each of the buildings has enough open space on top to land a small aircraft for emergencies, since there is no easily accessable hospital in the area. The complex is home to Jack Royal, the well known solo and sniper expert.

After leaving Leocadia at the Bistro, Calder makes his way to the residential area in Central. He's headed to the home of an old colleague, Jack Royal. Of course, he doesn't head strait there, that would be ignorant.
After making his way through the bussel of the city, Calder comes upon Greene. Knowing all to well, he heads to the side door and presses a cleverly disguised button to alert Pops of company.
And he waits to be let in.

Pops is awoken to the buzzing sound and red flashs coming from a silver machine hooked to his wall. Knowing the routine, he steps off of his recliner and walks to the machine to press a few buttons making the side door slide open to reveal a sleek, clean hall with a few doors leading to utility rooms and a elavator at the end of the short hall.

As he walks to the elevator, Calder thinks how this place never changes . . . This area, this block, this building, it's been the same since he first came in contact with Pops all those years ago.
As he rides the elevator twards his destination, he hears a new melody over the speakers. He smirks, "Well, somethings have to change I guess." The elevator stops and Ranewater goes to that same familiar door and knocks three times loudly.

Jack walks across the room to the door and unhinges the three solid, metal locks before opening it to see Calder. A large smile comes across Jack's face, his eyes only partially visible.
"Ah! Ranewater! Come in, come in!" he says, stepping out of the way and motioning to a beige couch across from the door.

Calder walks in, smiling from the warm welcome that he seldom recieves.
"Sorry, I haven't been by in so long, you know how things are. Busy busy busy." He replies and makes his way twards the couch.

Jack latches the locks back up and makes his way back to his recliner. He pulls the lever on the side and slowly reclines on the brown chair.
"You caught me at a good time, I just woke up. What brings you here, anyways?"

He relaxes in the sofa, surpisingly comfortable considering the look of it.
"Two night ago, the three human parts of Governor were assasinated in their sleep. This news wasn't released to the public, and very few in the higher ups even know about it. The two remaining AI's wished as much." He pauses to let this soak in. "What brings me here is that I knew one of them personally, and she was a great fighter with amazing insticts. There were very few in this city that could have gotten to her, let alone defeating her.
Another pause, this one more for himself than anything.
"Now I'm not saying that you killed her, just that you fit the bill. You know I've always come to you first when a job like this came along. I'm not here to blame even if you did, I just want information on why. You know what I pay." And Calder waits for his responce.

Jack stays in his chair, looking straight in front of him. "I'm afraid I can't tell you much, Ranewater. Not that I wouldn't if I knew." Pops wipes his nose with his left hand before continuing, "however, I was contacted a few days ago from a man calling about 'something big.' I didn't accept though, I've taken ill and haven't been able to do much at all for the passed few weeks. Obviously, he didn't give his name, I'm sorry I can't tell you more."

"don't worry about it, I believe ya. I don't think you'd bother to lie to me about it anyways." Calder pauses to clear his head. "Well, I guess keep me informed of the usual s**t then. Here, take this. It will come in handy pretty soon." He says as he hands a small card to Jack. It appears as a rusted piece of metal the size of a cred card with the word CYBERIA cut in it with what appears to be a plasma cutter. there is a distict barcode on the card that seems unaffected by the faux weathering of the metal.

Jack takes the card and puts it on his counter. "Well, I have to get going too, my sidearm's been acting up on me rescently and I figured I'd take it to the shop today." Jack walks over to the wall where a number of different coats are hanging, most of them are camoflagued for different surroundings, and unhooks a dull-green colored coat.
