[11.1.1] Merv mission feedback thread: "Tasseomancy"

 Interesting Title and here is the Definition if anyone is interested

Ooh... wonder if Madame T, aka Naomi Tarasova, the neighborhood contact in the Historic District will figure in this one? To quote the old Prima game guide, bolding mine:

Naomi Tarasova, known more popularly as Madame T, is one of the few Redpills to take up full time residence in the Matrix. Contributing further to her eccentric reputation is her habit of taking on the mannerisms of a gypsy fortuneteller. When she speaks, she's always vague and full of mystery, even when giving out the specifics of the mission

[...] Much of her insight into the workings of the Matrix comes from the observations of her tarot cards and other clarvoyant tools (tea leaves and so forth) and she has been known to make accurate predictions of future events, though not very often

Flood said they needed low-grade muscle for this mission so they called me, which is so wrong I think Flood must think I am tough or something :p But in the end we didn't even have to fight anyone!

We picked up some samples of the biological program from Malphas and took it to have it analyzed by Ethereal 2! He did the snake dance which was funny because I remember he had us all do the snake dance when he came to a party during Halloween two years ago! I will never forget it because I got turned into Shimada! The program kind of freaked him out so we took it to Madame T. instead who also was freaked out by it! :O Then we took it back to the Merv who said he is very intrigued by this and has many more things to try!

Oh and there was some bluepill trying to get information on Mauser from one of the Merovingian's guards! She had a Wright Research guard with her so I think that's who she worked for!

This was a strange mission. I got a little miffed with Flood for calling me "cheap muscle", but I sometimes wonder if he's really giving compliments, but he's too proud to phrase them as such...

The snake-dancing Ethereal -- brain break! But funny, too...

And Madame Tarasova's woo-woo predictions.... yeek... but there's something oddly fascinating about her, so I'm definately going to check and see if she has any work that needs to be done...

Puzzled about the Bluepill asking about information on Mauser, but since she was accompanied by a Wright Research bodyguard, that gave me an idea what was going on.
