Chapter 257 V Correspondence 2 (2/2)

"I do Any Dark Six news?" asked Aldrich

"So You're faht?"

Aldrich narrowed his eyes "I a with them It's just ruhting," said V "The Russian prong of the Trident's gone rogue is what I hear, going against the japanese and Italian prongs Techno support and supply lines fro"

"Surprising," said Aldrich "The Trident, all three prongs coue is a massive deal Do you have any idea why?"

"nobody really knows," said V "Some people deep in the underworld like Casimir knew that the Dark Six wanted to plot so in a neorld order and all that villain crap, and theorycrafting about sitting on the throne is nice and all, but the execution is a whole lotout this big revolution, whether they even want to threaten their livelihoods to do it, how ive up, and blah blah blah, lots of argu's the least loyal because they're so new I can i a weak link to this"

"I see," said Aldrich He knew that Dracul had torn down the foro

A new prong had risen up to take their place in the Trident, hailing from a few remote crime families that hailed frostanding loyalty to the larger organization as a whole

Especially because before the Trident, they were a splinter group of technos that did freelance work They were likely used to working on their own terms But even then, they had worked just fine with the others for a decade

What had changed? Soate this situation, V Try to get to the bottooing rogue If we can find that, then it's possible we can manipulate them Exploit them and break the Dark Six froht-o I will tell you, though, that quite a few reported fights between the Russian and Italian prongs happened after Casi the pressure with all the info we got about their stored weapons, drugs, labs, and the like

The Russian prong's always been insanely secretive, though, so it's hard to figure out what it is they're actually disagreeing about"

"Yeah I know a good deal about the japanese and Italian prongs, but the Russian one, I'm in the dark about as well Can you infiltrate the's the main tech hand of the Trident I don't kno they sharpened their skills out in the balls freezing wastes of Siberia, but I do know they're pretty daood

They live up to their rep as the 'Reapers of the Cyberverse', that's for sure Hard to spot, hard to track, and real deadly as well

They've got a few Den trained technos like me to really nail themselves in as a threat Top of the line, same potential as me, but with even more experience

I can't snoop around their infrastructure in the Cyberverse without getting caught Desht be like a castle, but the Reapers, well, they're like an invisible helicarrier, so to find unless you have inside info"

"Do what you can I et any info,, boss Anything else?"

"About Des?"

"Tons of trash The parasites have split 2231 times since they were planted in Desmond's tip server Most of that are just rando out info tips to Desroup of variants worth hunting here, and so on, nothing too useful for us

Around half of thes die there The other half that use personal devices don't see is, ol' FIsky here has analyzed the trash and picked out a nugget of gold

There's this one guy that sends tips to Desmond somewhat routinely and on a private device It's secure, but not that secure Guy's not an aotten access to all his devices and figured out he's a nomad scout affiliated with the Dark Six Also affiliated with Gerard Basically, a spy"

Aldrich perked up instantly "A spy?"

"Yeah I'll forward you all his info, but basically, he tips off the Dark Six about what's going on with the chiefs He's not important, so he doesn't know too much"

"But at the minimum, he's a security risk He knows Casimir's met the chiefs," said Aldrich "He knows about us"

"All he knows is Casimir came here, talked, then left Doesn't knoas talked about or what's going on," said V "And he hasn't had a chance to dump his info either

From what I can tell from his call and location histories, he does that when his tribe, uh, the Eagles, make a pit stop in a specific co the info physically"

"A handler?" Aldrich's eyes lit up as he saw a golden chance manifest before hi to schedule an old fashi+oned kidnapping"
