Better than average, I'd say. I take it we're asking for a reason?

Yes we are.
Research for the current ventures in Wolf Pin and I need someone good with computers who I trust.

Are you familiar with the name Pyre?

[Kind of wild that someone trusts him, but he supposes it makes some kind of sense.]

Doesn't ring a bell, aside from the obvious.

Desolation?

That's what I'm told. I got his name from Fenix Down when I was in a position to get information from him. Someone here with ADI confirmed he was real and tied to Down.

I'm trying to find out if he's related to FYRE and the man who runs it, Watts.
Watts apparently has a son, whether they're the same person is the question, but not the only one.

Down mentioned Pyre's "daddy" was planning something involving the Dark avatar, Dunn.
The ADI woman mentioned trying to track down the Watts boy -though perhaps he doesn't go by Watts, she also said Watts and his wife divorced and she kept the boy- and see if the boy's movements match Pyre's.

That's a good amount of information.

I'll look into Watts' ex and kid, there's got to be divorce records somewhere, and unless she's real paranoid, social media makes it nice and easy to track people down.

[He's already grabbing his laptop to get started. Watts is big enough, at least locally, that it shouldn't be hard to grab the basic details within a few minutes.]

Scale of 1-10, how good of a lead do you reckon this is?

[Because there's more he can do than just poking about on the internet. He's not keen on feeding the Web, but he'll do it if it seems worth it.]

[He weighs his options a moment. He doesn't like to lie, but this wouldn't be a direct lie so much as omission, but he did trust Crowley.

The '...' runs and vanishes a few times before Garner makes a decision.]

He might have fed me other misinformation or not, I haven't been able to verify, but this was a gift of information for making him laugh

when he asked I give him a finger in exchange for information, I offered him one of his own I'd taken earlier.
I believe what he told me.

[Crowley can be patient when necessary, and it's even easier when he has a distraction to entertain himself while he waits.

When the response does come, he laughs. He might not care for violence all that much, but he does love some malicious compliance.]

Would've made me laugh, too. I knew you were clever.

But I get why you believe him, even if I never met the bloke. People like that have their own little rules and it sounds like you played the game right, by his standards.

[That's oddly reassuring and he smiles. Good. He had no intentions of changing who or what he was or how he did things, but it was nice when people seemed to be willing to take that in stride.]

I'm glad you approve.

I grew up with people like that all around me, it seemed familiar and, in this case, reliable.

Something is going to happen with an avatar of the Dark and likely Desolation. The ADI woman mentioned another of the Buried. All of that points to mines and an explosion, perhaps under the cover of seemingly like a natural accident, but catastrophic all the same.

Sounds like a fun childhood

[This is sarcasm, which usually doesn't convey well over text, but he suspects Garner knows him well enough to pick it.]

Mines are very good at exploding, in my experience. Real easy to chalk it up to an accident, too, especially if you're shoving a bunch of tourists down there for a concert. Someone touched something they shouldn't have. The music destabilized a support structure. Some poor worker missed a safety check. Etc etc.

Terrible tragedy, but the CEO blames someone else, throws enough money behind it, and walks away scott free

[He suspects it is sarcasm, even if his initial thought is to take it at face value. Either way, his answer is the same, he supposes.]

It wasn't too bad, just atypical.

[And, ultimately, not as important as the topic at hand.]

That sounds like nobility and those with enough power to not be second guessed.

And a very viable option. I hope we can find something useful, if we can help at all, it will be worth the trouble.

If there's people with typical childhoods, I've not met them yet

[bitch doesn't even have a childhood.]

Got it in one. Corporate billionaires are what humans invented to replace nobility, once most countries got rid of that nonsense.

I'll see what I can dig up, nothing's ever really lost once it's on the net

[Fair point in that.]

Thank you, Crowley, I truly appreciate your help.
