"The man who stood blinking now in the doorway behind them, the blanket draping over one shoulder like a cape, seemed to have been designed in a wind tunnel. His ears were very small, plastered flat against his narrow skull, and his large front teeth, revealed in something that wasn't quite a smile, were canted sharply backward. He wore an ancient tweed jacket and held a handgun of some kind in his left hand. He peered at them, blinked, and dropped the gun into a jacket pocket. He gestured to Case, pointed at a slab of white plastic that leaned near the doorway. Case crossed to it and saw that it was a solid sandwich of circuitry, nearly a centimeter thick. He helped the man lift it and position it in the doorway. Quick, nicotine-stained fingers secured it with a white velcro border. A hidden exhaust fan began to purr.
'Time,' the man said, straightening up, 'and counting. You know the rate, Moll.'
'We need a scan, Finn. For implants.'"
The Color of Television, Neuromancer-inspired album, Track #6 - "The Finn".
This week we meet the cigar-smoking fence the gang contacts to buy some gear from. The Finn, himself. Watch as the corrugated metal of his "Metro Holografix" adorned shop dances in the waveforms and hear him lighting and smoking his partagas as his vinyl crackle fills the air with smoke.
He's another seedy character caught in the machinations of a global mystery as Wintermute tries to merge with his sibling. The Finn is like an old record, but prepared to deal with the shadiest of people. Some samples form the pads and atmosphere of his shop and some ghastly piano notes echo around him. An old apache break forms the backbone of his tune as we get a preview of the holograms to come when Peter rolls up to the party later.
Thanks for listening so far! More to come!
