Code Cracker Doc Cracker. The best technician you know, and probably the oldest. He whirls around with a winning smile once he's done unfunging his tools and ensuring they can't be replicated by upstart buyers. Half of the man's face is replaced with cybernetics that conceal the damage to his texture and wireframe, courtesy of messing with malware one too many times. If the servitors saw somebody like him walking the streets, they'd Pod them in an instant for forceful medical aid. And that would, without a doubt, raise innumerable questions.

"Back so soon? I gave you the usual package, what... Last week?"

"Last month, Doc." And you're already almost out. You burn through those apps fast, in your pursuit of excitement. The float.app was the last of its kind, and a staple among delinquents that you'll need more of soon.

"About time for a refill then... Did you bring me anything good?"

You pause. You don't actually have extra to spare. The type of scrap data you can gather for him is enough to pay for all your .apps, but he'll surely want something else in exchange for aid with the Digivice. You could always forego those tools, and use payment for a consultation, but then you'll be in the lurch during an emergency. And you have a feeling you'll need everything you can get, once you begin your quest in earnest.

>"Yeah. The usual." (Pay him for a refill of limited-use apps. These are tools that help you navigate the city in ways a standard human isn't meant to. Stealth, observation, gliding, any free spirit needs plenty of these toys. However, once you bring it up, you'll have to pay for help with the Digivice in some other way.)

>"Yes. But I need something else today-" (Offer payment solely to see what he can tell you about this Digivice. You can probably settle that debt before it becomes an issue, but you'll be foregoing a refill of important .app files that could make all the difference if you're being pursued.)
