Jensen: I don't like what's going on here.

Man 1: That's far enough, Gwailo.

Jensen: Tong:

Tong: You disappoint me Jensen. I thought we were friends. Then my hacker goes missing. You break into my place of business, and you don't even have the manners to knock when you enter a room. A lot of Belltower heavies looking for you. Any reason I don't just turn you over?

Jensen: Yeah, Vasili Sevchenko.

Tong: Never touched the stuff.

Jensen: You're wearing his arm. GPL device inside it lead me straight to you.

Tong: Scavenged tech gets you every time. [foreign language]. Sorry to say, the man I got this from wasn't in a position to complain. Belltower gave us his corpse few weeks ago.

Jensen : Belltower? Not Tai Yong?

Tong: Tai Yong's not the one grabbing people off my streets and giving me choice augs so I close my eyes.

Jensen: Sevchenko had four other scientists with him.

Tong: I'm not wearing any of them so maybe they still alive. And maybe I help you out with this.

Jensen: Go on.

Tong: Belltower keeps two ships in port. They think nobody notices, but I keep an eye. Every couple of days one of them loads up in the middle of the night and sails out.

Jensen: Heading where?

Tong: A wise man doesn't ask. I just know the Hei Zhen Zhu pulls out tonight. And where she may port, I bet you will find your scientists.

Jensen: Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything, Tong, but why exactly are you telling me this?

Tong: Belltower been a pain in my ass too long. I think you give them major pain back, plus interest. So just outside this office at the far end of the parking lot, Level 2, there's a door. It leads to sewers near the port. Not a very pleasant walk, but hey, this is Hengsha.

Jensen: Belltower runs tight security. How do you expect me to get on their ship?

Tong: One of my boys will leave a package inside a locker for you, in an equipment shed. You find it. We talk. And I tell you what to do next.

Jensen: I'll be waiting with baited breath I'm sure.
