Report on Monte & Shill

Date Posted: June 16 2019. Board: Emailed Directly to Optimus Prime, Hound, Ratchet, Jazz, and Sky Lynx. Faction: Autobot. Author: Starlock.

As of the date of writing this Email; Hound, Ratchet, Nightbeat, First Aid, Whirl, Nightlash, and I engaged Monte after retrieving the item from Pharma's office, Nightbeat had informed us (Being Hound, Nightlash, First Aid and I) about the item in particular, but first explained to us: That he had spoken with the blown up warehouse manager, who had said we have reason to be concerned apparently upon closer examination of what was left of the structure, he's speculated that much more went missing than what he previously thought, before it blew up. Nightbeat then said he reached out to some contacts of his, who have been watching Monte ever since we first ran into him at the Red Guardian Inn. Yesterday, they let him know that one of his associates was seen near Deltaran, dropping a package off near a back entrance. Shortly after that, Triage, Pharma's PA, came by and brought it inside. This was the item mentioned in that cryptic Anonymous message on the notepad in the barracks, a payment of some sort, according to Nightbeat, the whole reason why Monte is back in town and ended up being an optic witness, is because he was most likely trying to save up to pay Pharma for.. something. According to Nightbeat's research. Monte typically deals drugs, and makes a great deal doing so, but recently, he had a falling out with one of his main suppliers off world, which resulted in him losing a lot of shanix, according to Nightbeats contacts, he also managed to run some diagnostics on a communication device he frequently uses - the last person he was in contact with was Pharma. Apparently the reason Shill wanted this payment package, was because Monte was withholding funds from Shill. Before any /plan/ could be hatched to get into Pharma's office, Nightlash... Did a Nightlash, and hacked into the doors wiring and got it open. That's when Ratchet found us, and did his best to help. (I'm so sorry Ratchet) Hound managed to get the package with Nightbeat's direction, and Nightlash got the door back in place, and I ran to the security office to delete the security footage and.. Well, Ratchet needed to help me, they apparently had changed the passwords. Pretty sure Pharma is aware the package is missing though. (Ratchet and I kept in contact over personal frequencies.) After that, I filled Hound in (Hastily) on the situation. Our group (Minus Ratchet who was keeping an optic on Pharma) went to the Red Guardian Inn, gave the package to Shill, and were able to catch Monte, who gave us /some/ information before he ran, being this: It was apparently dark, and couldn't see well from were he was at from the sounds he was hearing, but he could tell someone with an AUTOBOT badge was running around, nicking stuff, and he'd managed to get out of the way before the whole place blew up. That's when he ran, when I asked about Pharma, he said I was spouting bull slag, he then mentioned Autobots apparently don't like him (Monte) and he doesn't like autobots before he ran, after telling me not to tell anyone, we uh. All kinda failed to catch him, until we got outside where Nightlash rammed him, and hurt herself. (We did not tell her to do this!) and then Whirl /sat/ on him. Once we got him down though, he spoke a little more about his work with Pharma, saying that... well in his words: "And you know how it is. It's one of his projects he's been working on. Was gonna help me get back on top of my game. But that's all I know, I swear to fragging Primus." (He being Pharma) Before Monte got out from under Whirl, and sped off. Nightlash's injures are being tended to, I fell, but I am unharmed, and overall, that is my report on all this. -- Sergeant Starlock. >>:Attached is a photo of the Barracks Notepad with the message one it, that reads: Wed Jun 05 23:52:52 2019 - Anonymous -- To those wishing to know where to find what will appease Monte's former shill, know this: The doctor is to be feared more than the disease. Physicians' faults are covered with earth, and rich mech's with shanix. -- >>This Email Has been Sent to Optimus Prime, Hound, Ratchet, Jazz, and Sky Lynx.<<
