Advocacy Alert
Mas Houlan has garnered 18 warrants.[1] The target of the robbery was data pertaining to Project Stargazer, under hire by "Mr Grouse". The first meeting took place at a cafe on the outskirts of Prime. Grouse had likely undergone facial reconfiguration. Under instruction to retrieve and delete, Dougan decided to keep copies instead as insurance. During the robbery, Houlan used his expertise to remove and hack the deadswitch alarm on Behring security guard Duane. While Houlan triggered an alarm during the hack, Dougan was able to deal with the resulting turret issue. The two left the premises just as armed guards entered. They used their ship, the Belligerent Duck to escape from a private hangar in the Behring complex. A Behring Security Sabre pursued, hailing with the threat of shooting down the Duck. Dougan is able to distract the Sabre with missiles forcing them to fire flares, buying Houlan enough time to use distortion cannons to disrupt the Sabre's power supply. Maxing out the thrusters for all they were worth, Dougan sped the Duck away from Behring's headquarters. However, rather than angling up to leave the planet, she angled the ship towards the nearby mountainous island range. There, she lowered the ship down into a small alcove cut into the beach beneath a rocky outcropping. Diverting power from the Mercury's shields and thrusters, Houlan booted up their reg-spoof so that they would be able to fly around incognito. Having to scrap the rendezvous with Grouse, they contacted allies via mobiGlas and prepared to go on the run from the Advocacy, heading for Banu space.[2]
