"Make sure you sanitize the shower!" Dr. K suggested for the obvious reasons.

"Oooh don't worry about that." Ziggy replies as the sound of scalding water, and the smell of bleach flow out of the bathroom into the rest of the suite.
Twenty minutes later Ziggy comes out of the shower perfectly clean.

"You're sparkling like one of those wannabe vampires, Ziggy," Dr. K deadpanned.

"The power of a good shower." Ziggy adds. "Go on it's your turn, we're do at the first apartment in an hour."
***
An hour and a half later Ziggy and K are at the first apartment. It's a traditional Japanese apartment with the removable paper walls separating the various rooms. It also had a very low ceiling.
"This must be how Dillon feels all the time." Ziggy says looking upwards at the roof only a few inches from his head.

Dr. K had a bit more room between her head and the ceiling, but she still didn't approve. "Next one."

The next apartment is in a bad part of town. Outside of the building is a man in a long trenchcoat who greets Ziggy and K by throwing it open revealing a bunch of plastic bags each containing a GaiaMemory.
<Hey, wanna be superhuman?> the man asks in Japanese gesturing to the memories in his coat.
"No speaky Japanese." Ziggy says trying to avoid the dealer's gaze, he doesn't want to risk the dealer having ties to the dopants he beat up earlier.

"I'll take some," K said. She looked at Ziggy. "They're for research," she said to him.

"Aren't those very illegal?" Ziggy asks as the man in the long coat smiles.
"One memory per customer. More than one memory means a Rider, riders bad for business."

"I can just arrest you and confiscate the memories as a member of the SPD," Dr. K told the man.

The man pauses. "As many memories as you like...half price."
((Since there are theoretically memories for everything that's ever existed make up whatever you want him to have.))

"Thank you," K said.

K walked off with ten memories, smiling to herself. What were these memories? Check the Cbox.

The apartment itself is even worse than the last one. It's walls are coated in graffiti and it smells of bodily fluids that even the Hello Kitty room would be ashamed of. The hot water is luke warm at best, as is the cold water.
"You know that sleeping in the lab thing worked pretty well for you in Corinth, do you think the SPD would go for it?" Ziggy asks as his eyes advert themselves from the terror of the apartment.

"And where would you stay?" K asked Ziggy.

"It's a big lab?" Ziggy asks.

"...point taken. But how many more apartments do we have to look at?"
