A meeting between select people arrived at Giro's lodge for an important discussion, along with Giro, there was Luke, Dawn, Freddy and Alice along with Quint on video call.
"So what can you tell me about the incident of the Firestorm and Razzmatazz battle, there appears to be an act of sabotage involved with the Smash Zone system" Giro enquired.
"I've had my programmers Miles and Delta along with Helpdesk look into it, the limiter was disabled the moment I struck down Nero, our prime suspect is Lisa Cascione who fled the arena, it stands to reason that she was targeting Nero for his fortune and was forced to act when she found out she was up against Popuri, what I want to ask of you Giro is, how much debt she was in?" Dawn passed the spotlight back on Giro.
"From what I understand she has the second worse debt in Shark House but her fleeing from the house means she's at risk from Quint, not only that she's a target for Kara Shindo and the group she owes money to, having Warhammer and Hellcat we may be able to intervene" Giro intentionally letting Quint hear.
"What does this have to do with me and Luke? Both of us don't even know Lisa" Alice brought up.
"Both of you have tested the Clash of Classes RPG attachment of Smash Zone and even used some of the build in your matches, with that in mind you may know something about the game engine and how the force feedback can be altered" Giro said.
"Only the creator of the game knows that, no idea the identity but they go by the username Silver Rain, they likely have some connection as they made public their dislike of how Nero hijacked Smash Zone for his little contest, it stands to reason that they would benefit from it" Freddy explained.
"I'll try and make sure Quint captures Lisa alive but I can only prevent him from doing so for so long, Alice I need your network to identify the people behind the mafia, Luke I need you to uncover the identity of Silver Rain, I'll see if Nasu and Hellcat can deal with Kara, equally Dawn and Freddy keep me posted if you can find any evidence that might prosecute the mafia, pass it to Quint, this meeting is dismissed" Giro taking charge.
Quint stayed on the line finishing a smoke.
"I'll only allow one chance for her to be captured alive" Quint rings off leaving Giro to consider his next move.
