How was your Sleuth day?

Have you just had your best day of Sleuthing ever? Solved your first AI case? Got your last contact? Picked up your first treasure? Found a spoon? Finally got into the Prince's Palace?*
This is the place to share the joy, have a 'woot' or two and be congratulated by your fellow Sleuths.
Or maybe you've just had to pay Shady enough cash to finance a small war. Or reached screaming point with the tailor in Delhi. Or been pirated twice in a row. Or fallen into a trap three times running. You can share the woe, too, and we'll commiserate. We've probably been there too.
Me? I'm just happy that after two days' worth of 'south of the race track' I've finally got out of Shanghai :)
(* If you don't get the references, never mind. You could ask someone. Or you could just wait and see what the world of Sleuth brings you further down the line...)

No, Sophie, not a Shangri-La faction...one of the other city factions :) That clue seems to be going around, and everybody targets the CoL, or the OoS ;) It's far from over :)
And, Melanie, you seem *really* close to finishing yours...just a few more clues, maybe :)

Can't have people leaving...nice things, Secret Plans, and little jobs too, if you don't mind burning a few bridges ;)
Now, and I have almost enough to pay off Shady, 1000 more, and I'm FREE!!! :)

I could feel the Nemesis getting closer ... and I could feel myself getting closer to the Nemesis. I wondered the real name of this being that I was chasing. It seemed to be a mystery in itself (there wasn't even a smidgeon of a clue as to the true identity - not even from the longest of "Police" interrogations of some of my Arch Villains. Not even Roberto Del Sid could get a pipsqueak out of any of them).
At times, it felt like I might as well be chasing a stick of gum attached to a wild goose.
It was a dirty business and my shoes didn't appreciate the wear and tear. But I knew I couldn't relax for a second nor be downhearted. The "Nemesis" just had to be out there somewhere. I knew some "interference" would be just around the corner ... and I would be ready.

I failed an AV, haven't done that in years. I was in Cairo, left a mark on my paper from a previous hunt. Ooops! Well, life goes on.

"No. It is quite useless, my dear friend. Your brass knuckles might as well be made from butter, for all the good that they will do against such villainy." said Melanie, in what at first seemed a sigh of resignation to defeat. I could tell the Nemesis was getting to her. But I could also tell that she was close.
"You must remember that we - or rather I - are dealing with not a human but a human-spider. A pupper-master. On each of the webs under his or her control, reside several - nay dozens if not hundreds of automatons, each capable of their own brand of skullduggery and outrageous criminal activity. But were any of these "puppets" to even think for a second about dancing slightly away from the beat that their master has set, then jailtime would be the least of their worries." MDL continued, in one of her deep philosophical musings.
"No, I simply *must* find another way! And I would particularly like to wipe the smirk from the face of the Dvorkin fellow." The pause that followed told me everything else that I needed to know.
"Thank you for your continued support, Roberto, but you must return to the relative safety of the agency at once." I nodded in agreement, folding the knuckles back into their holder. I didn't like using them anyway.
Not for the first time, MDL was on her own.
