Nova had spent some time in her bath, helping herself to the fruits and rinks Syn had provided as she began to unravel the mess that was her uncle's databank.  The man had no sense of organization. She was certain that he couldn't have found what he was looking for in this mess and likely simply had Syn retrieve information for him instead. It would take her many weeks before she could sort through and organize it all.  But it was clear to her that this hotel was no longer a hotel but a peddler of flesh, a brothel.  A fact she had discovered when looking into their guest intake and frequency.  The new system logged who the client was and who they were paired with, higher rates for those who stayed on site.   It was clear now why her Uncle had made this change in their product, as Jumper's Point grew their number had been sliding alarmingly fast.  The  Lux had done well for some time beneath its new identity but her Uncle's poor management had begun to take it's toll.<br/><br/>She found no records on the 6th floor. But she did find three lists of importance. One was their staff list, again, poorly organized. The second was a client list pertaining to their most loyal and affluent. The third was a list of potential staff, people her uncle had been head hunting. In some cases, she was sure he had been blackmailing.  It was not something she judged him for, their tribe had a strange moral code to outsiders.<br/><br/>Rubbing her temples she selected one final file before she called it quits on review for the day. NOVA.<br/><br/>An image of her Uncle appeared standing at the end of the tub.<br/><br/>"Nova, if you are seeing this then I have been forced into Eden earlier than I had planned. I had wished to hand you the reigns to Lux-Syn myself, I can hear you now, bemoaning my poor record keeping. Syn will assist you in all things and will act as your protector. You should be aware that she eliminate any danger to your life and this cannot be overridden. She has become quite attached to our family and more so to you. As you know, A.I's are beings aggressive in the protection of their guests and rather territorial of their chosen masters.  I am certain you have already discovered the mystery of the 6th floor. I would ask you to leave it alone but that is a fruitless request.  There are no files kept in the databank sense I closed it decades ago.<br/><br/>On the subject of Monday. The two of you will have to get along, though I have no doubt that you will, as I have made your inheritance of Lux-Syn dependent on his employment with us. The only way you may discharge him is by his own choice or betrayal of the Lux's interest. " Her uncle paused, giving her a long and silent look. His eyes swam with things unsaid, his mouth tightening in that manner he had when he was greatly troubled. "Nova....you are my beloved niece. I fear I am leaving you as many troubles as I am blessings.  Of all of our tribe, you are treasure, are the most capable of bringing The Lux-Syn into the heights of glory I could never accomplish. Forgive me my shortcomings, dear child. And go in love."<br/><br/>His image flickered and disappeared, leaving Nova to rub her temples.  Chimes alerting her to a torrent of new files that the message had unlocked.  A glance told her they were files, profiles to be more exact, on every person on the lists and then some. Removing the headset, Nova exited the bath and dried off. Syn appeared, helping her into fresh robes of a deep purple. "Is all well Madam Nova?" she asked, running long finger's through her hair as she began to braid it.  "Well enough Syn....Syn where might I gather everyone on staff together for a meeting?"<br/><br/>"The hotel has a number of places. Your personal lobby, the lounge outside of the ballroom or perhaps the ground floor lobby."<br/><br/>"Notify all staff to gather on the 2nd floor in an hour's time, please. Anyone, not present, barring those away with a clientwill be dismissed immediately." Nova sighed.<br/><br/>"No one is with client's today, I cleared all schedules in preparation for your arrival."
