Jack the Rabbit was just coming off the mend from the unfortunate job for the Triad, when he started getting the first texts. At first, it was an incoherent jumble, but he sooned learned what happened to Franck. He'd been made to feel welcome at the clubs, and had enjoyed each others' company in the backyard party scene, always made to feel at home. When Danny Graves (of Aesthetic Perfection) asked if Jack was in for the benefit concert, of course he said yes.
Young Wafer (nee Hannah) is affiliated with the 23b hackerspace. 23b specializes in the engineering side of hacking. arclight, one of the founding keyholders of 23b, heard through the grapevine about the benefit show being hastily put together. He was tapped for his skills, and asked to bring in any help he could, to assist with the technical side of the show. Lights, sound, electrical; whatever might be needed that night. arclight decides to throw Wafer a bone (since it's fairly obvious she's homeless) and brings her in on the gig.
Lucky Larry Diamond! Everyone's favorite MedTech. Larry was responding to a number of classified ads, when he got a response from one Lisa G. There was a live gig coming up, whose size necessitated on-site medical staff, to secure the necessary permits. Meeting with Lisa face-to-face to negotiate pay, they realize they've met previously.
The night prior to the Triad job, Jack, Larry, and Sayoko (RIP) killed some time by stopping in at Rainbow Nights. They wanted to take some of the edge off, relax a bit, before game time. Jack happened to know the band playing that night (Aesthetic Perfection) and knew the tour manager (Lisa,) and so, was not only able to get everyone in on rock star status, but was able to party with the band in the green room between the first set and encore, where Jack was brought in for a few songs.
So, of the candidates for the spot, Larry gets the gig. It's good to know people.
Sorin is... an interesting man. Born and raised in the Eastern Bloc, he came across the pond and made a successful living for himself as a Corporate. That is, he *was* making a successful living for himself, until he was separated. Sorin is unusual for a Corporate, in that he's less likely to delegate, and more likely to be "hands on" with his assigned projects, literally AND figuratively. Being "in-between work" currently (as polite society says,) he happened across the benefit show to attend, to take his mind off of recent events.
