<strong><span class="bbc_u">Switch and Rave's Lair, 5:30 pm, 23/11/2078</span></strong><br/><br/>Shortly after sending the text, Rave received a video call from Mary Havercroft, Grace's mother. Mary looked to be in her late thirties, and though she was quite composed, her concern for her missing daughter was obvious. "You're not working for Knight Errant, are you? Of course not, they don't care about us. Everyone says that if someone's been missing for over a week, they won't be found again, but if you could... if she's still alive...<br/><br/>"Grace was at Club Vertex a lot, and other clubs, too. She's a smart girl, and she always carried a concealed taser. She wouldn't have been taken unawares easily, and she didn't get into cars with strangers. I don't think she was just abducted by some random gangbanger. This was organised."<br/><br/>Mary's Matrix icon reached out and produced a packet of video data, sending a copy to Rave. "This is data from Grace's selfie drone, that she hadn't uploaded before she disappeared. Maybe there's something on there that can help you find her, or at least find the people who did this. Thank you for looking into it."<br/><br/>The file was a video feed from a Horizon CU<sup>3</sup>drone similar to Switch's, a single rotor flying sphere full of cameras and microphones that had been following Grace around all night. It showed her arriving at the club on foot, greeting the bouncer with obvious familiarity, and walking inside. The footage inside the club was less clear, because of the dim lighting, the light shows from the DJ's perch, and the mass of people making it difficult for the drone to get close-up pictures. There were several still images that were quite clear, though, which Grace had obviously ordered the drone to take in particular. Each one showed Grace dancing with a new partner, sometimes posing with them for the camera. They included a dark-skinned dwarf man, an Amerindian human woman, and a ginger catgirl with white stripes in her fur.<br/><br/>The footage ends with Grace going through the door into the bathrooms, accompanied by another figure, but the club is too dark and crowded to distinguish individuals. The drone waited several minutes for her, then noted that her commlink had disappeared from the Matrix. It waited for her until the club closed, at which point the owners picked up the drone and contacted Knight Errant.
