OOC: Do we all know how Janet looks like? A photo would help those of us who've never met her.

Logan has a hand computer, which has already been applied to get info on the last use of her phone. More detail can be dug for of course. Hmm, and I confused things... Henry must have used Logan's hand comp while still at the bar to trace the phone... And double oops... Henry does have a hand computer purchased for the ship's locker... I don't seem to have said much about the capability of the cell phones... I'll assume voice, text, pictures, and limited video, maybe a few minor apps, but pointedly NOT the computing power of the hand computer. So yes, you can share a picture of Janet.

Jack and Sharron enter the building and proceed to Janet's apartment, watching for any sign of being followed. When they reach the door, they knock, covering up Sharron's attempt to jimmy the lock... Jack and Sharron quickly enter Janet's quarters. The lock was easily picked (an old fashioned key lock - no card keys here...). The apartment has a sagging bed, a small dresser, a small table and two chairs, a fresher, and a small kitchenette. The room is barely larger than a starship stateroom and has one small dirty window. A Traveller's duffel is shoved under the bed, and a few articles of clothing are hanging over chair backs to dry. A few dishes are in the sink and the mini-fridge has some takeout food containers. A picture of an older couple (Janet's parents?) sits on the dresser.

We look in/under the furniture, cabinets and drawers in the fresher and kitchenette, and in the duffle*. Is there writing on the picture (or behind it)? What establishment is the takeout food from? Is it spoiled? Are the drying clothes still wet? Looking at the dishes in the sink, can we tell if they're from just one person, or maybe two? Does it look like the sagging bed has been hosting more than one person? And what can we see out the window? (* - looking for anything related to the University or the Clinic in particular.)

OK, Sharron will make sure everyone has a photo of her. Also, I assume that since Janet and Sharron are friends, Sharron can provide a quick bio/background on Janet to everyone as well?

Nothing from the university. There is a receipt for a checkup from the clinic from 4 days ago. The food is not spoiled, it is from several restaurants (Chinese, Mexican, and Italian), more containers from those places are in the waste bin. It looks like just one person has been using the room. The drying clothes are in fact dry. Things seem consistent with Janet having only been gone a day or two. An alley is visible out the window. You spot a group of three students walking down the alley.

She is age 26 (two terms) and is skilled with Air/Raft and Electronics.

"Hmm", says Jack. "She obviously was not expecting to be away. Not sure what more we can find from this place". He notices the students, and keeps one eye on them as a standard threat assessment, but otherwise pays them no mind

Logan hails the man in the green apron calling out, "My good fellow! A moment of your time." "Did you happen to see Janet Smyth in the clinic there? She was heading for the Clinic and she seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. Any help would be appreciated." says Logan The man glares at you and scurries off back to his store. Did you want to go into the clinic now?

That would be great. It will give Logan something to show the receptionist inside the Clinic when we ask about Smyth.

Logan and Zeb step inside the Lombard Clinic. There's a small waiting room, there are 2 people waiting and a receptionist. Think of a doctor's or dentist's office you have been in that's on the shabbier end of the scale.
What are Logan and Zeb wearing? Street clothes or Merchant's uniform?

Logan is in his Merchant uniform. "Hello." Logan says with a smile to the receptionist, "I hope you'll be able to help me with something. A friend of ours had an appointment here <yesterday?> and we haven't heard from her since. Do you happen to remember this woman?" Logan shows the receptionist Smyth's picture on his phone's screen, "Her name is Janet Smyth." Logan is watching the receptionist's face and body language for any tell tail signs.

Unless there's something else Jack wants to see/do, Sharron and he will head to the clinic and meet up with the others to compare notes and plan our next move. In which case, she'll send a message to the others: "Janet hasn't been to apartment in a couple of days. She had appt. at Clinic 4 days ago. Heading to Clinic to meet up with Logan and Zeb."

Zeb is probably wearing his uniform as well, since he just got mustered out. He takes a look at his surroundings. What do the 2 people waiting look like?

Confusion correction... The phone trace and other information had her visiting the clinic yesterday. The receipt you found from 4 days ago was clearly a separate visit to the clinic.

Jack agrees with Sharron's plan. Thanks for the correction ffilz

OOC: I thought she had the meeting yesterday after which she went missing. So, this was her second (or more) visit to the clinic. That is probably significant.

The receptionist says "In respect of patient privacy I can not answer your question. I'll have to ask you to leave."
Logan doesn't catch anything from her body language or tone, however Zeb does notice she definitely responded to the query and picture in a way suggesting she knows something. He also thinks she may have hit the silent alarm.

To make sure she is okay, I'm sure you can understand how we feel, too." Logan says, "If you can't help us, maybe you can direct us to someone who can?"

"I've asked you nicely to leave"
At this point, two burly folks wielding truncheons come into the room and head your way.

No reason to get into a brawl in a Doctor's office." If he can get out of here without getting his head bashed in, he'll do it. At the same time Logan is looking for some sort of weapon he can grab to somewhat even the score...if it comes to a fight. Clearly there is something fishy about this clinic.

Zeb draws his auto pistol. "Okay, we'll go. So put those sticks away, and we'll be out of your hair without any trouble. But the first person who tries something stupid to me or my friend gets a hole in the head."
"That includes you, darling," he says to the receptionist. "Come on, Logan. We're not wanted here. Let's go before I turn into a murderer."

((Relative to what's about to happen, when do Jack and Sharron arrive at the clinic?)) Jack and Sharron will arrive at the clinic a bit after Logan and Zeb exit. Logan and Zeb back out of the clinic, the bouncers recognizing they are leaving, and better armed just stand and watch.
