Pat nodded, the dark haired one seemed to sit up a little straighter "Tough is good." said Pat ( ... )

Hsu's gaze shifted to the other man. Now the catch was becoming clearer and clearer. Haz mat suits? Even before Pat started to explain, Hsu had the bad feeling that this would have something to do with the attack on San Francisco ( ... )

Rich shook his head "Anyone else yes, but not our sister. If she made it to the underground shelter she should be alive." he sat back in his seat and his foot tapped nervously "Of course she also should have called in, so you could be right, but we have to try ( ... )

Hsu found it very interesting how they seemed so worried by what their parents would think of failure to find their sister. In a way, he could identify with that, at least from his own position of being a parent. After all, he, too, knew the pain of losing a child, and if Daniel was in the same situation, he would move heaven and earth to find him and bring him back. Of course, Daniel would quickly recover afterwards, but that wasn't the point ( ... )

Rich nodded "Of course, this the kind of thing you need?" he slid across a cheap disposable tablet, on it was everything Hsu had asked for. "There's an inventory there of what we think you'll need. Just let us know if you need anything else."

The inventory was long and included an all terrain vehicle with radiation shielding, the latest types of Geiger counters and haz mat suits as well as ration packs and some weapons.

Pat tapped the tablet screen and up popped an image of a young woman, about the same age as the two men, she had long reddish curly hair, eyes that matched her hair and was glaring at the camera. "That's the best I could find on our ship's database, she tends to avoid cameras."

He tapped again "This is the building, although from the sat images we've managed to pull from certain Government sites, we think the building is gone completely now. We are however still getting a signal from the emergency beacon, which would have been set off when the first warning was given."

He took the tablet and looked down the list that the two had already put together. "It will do for a start. Although weapons, I'll supply myself. My armoury has everything that might be needed." While he didn't think that a great amount of large weaponry would be needed, there might be other survivors who would need to be subdued ( ... )

Rich nodded "The sooner the better, if the bunker is compromised then she's already in more danger. Which is where your guarantee becomes a little awkward, as we'd really rather not let our parents know, as would she. Besides, to obtain signed copies would require too much time, as they are off planet. But we are both wealthy in our own right and have the authority to sign contracts on behalf of the company. That is why we were sent back here, to tidy up the company's business before this whole planet goes to the dogs. If you would be happy with those then we can guarantee the safe transport of six persons and their belongings, provided that they agree to travel in stasis pods ( ... )

"Fine. Your signatures will suffice, and you have been warned. My family will agree to travel in stasis." However, he would not. It was a matter of trust, and he was not going to trust strangers when he would not be able to see where he was going and what was going on around him. He didn't mention it, that matter could be discuss when it was time.

The question was fair enough, as one of his men was already running checks on these two from over at the bar. "Dieter Haag." It was his current identity as, once again, Chief Executive Officer of HSU Financial Corporation. "And of course, I will doing my own research on the pair of you. I'll take use of the shuttle. I'll put my team together and they can be ready to move in within an hour." He would also contact Cody and Daniel back in Switzerland to begin making plans for leaving. "Once I have your signatures, of course."

As he spoke Pat was tapping the name into his datapad on his wrist, he looked up at Rich and nodded.

"Seems you pass my brother's checks Mr Haag, we will have the contract drawn up and signed to hand to you at the airfield. In the meantime I suppose it would only be fair to give you our names, and not the ones that we gave the oh so trustworthy barman over there, who has been happily telling all he knows to your men. Although we do both use those identities from time to time."

Rich held out a hand "Richard Noon, and this is my brother Patrick Noon, both of Noonian Bioengineering Industries."

Pat held out a hand as well "I hope that this will prove a successful venture for us all Sir." he added, with a quiet smile.

"My men know better than to take a bartender's word as truth. A former employee of mine, some time ago, developed a very reliable facial recognition software. All he needed was a clear shot of you, but thank you, anyway." Once he got back to his hotel suite, he would read up more on this Noonian Bioengineering. It sounded intriging and a little concerning considering his past dealings with things like genetic experimentation ( ... )
