About 23:00, Axe of God, downtown NMK, Tuesday the 22nd of June, 2055.

Crash makes arrangements with The Sisters to give them the money at Shen's house, in about two hours. As we head out of the club to pick up our transport and head home, we can't help noticing some very fresh, 14 feet high graffiti on the wall of the club. It's tagged 'Waxfire'.

We head back to Shen's in convoy, finding Sykes at home when we get inside. We relax, arrange some food and drink. Crash disappears for a while, then comes back. And, fashionably early, The Sisters arrive, along with Dragon and Tokyo Rose. Crash suggests a big, high PR hand over of the cash. The Sisters decline, saying they're grateful for the money, but would prefer not to make too much fuss about it. They make a good argument for the fact it'll be less trouble all round.

They stop for a short while and then head off, leaving us with quite a lot of consumables to finish off amongst ourselves...
