altered carbon ch 31 through 36

Ch 31 pg 277.

They get an apartment and Irene does the virus.

Ch 32 pg 279

Tak convinces Bancroft of the virus story it seems.  As hes getting ready to leave he notices the telescope eyepiece has been wiped off.  It's focused on head in the clouds, a fancy pants 👖 airship.  He's gotta go investigate.   On the way out he tells Miriam Bancroft that the job is done and she and kawahara can relax cause larents won't be finding out the truth of what happened.

Ch 33 pg  285

Takeshi doesn't have any connection to the head in the clouds so he talks to someone that does.  After a bit of talking we are told this is the doctors head we're talking to.  He's pretty well conditioned.  So the questioning doesn't go well.  So Takeshi jumps out of the virtual and runs a torture program on the doctor.  I got the impression it was a deal where he made a copy of the doctor and had the doctor torture himself.  

Takeshi has a talk with the hotel.  About how long the torture is estimated to take before the doctor is likely to result in useful answers to Takeshi's questions.  Also about the legal ramifications of all this.  If the cops come looking for the doctor, the hotel will be bound to give them all the data.  They will find that the hotel was involved in the torture and the punishment for that can be up to total shutdown.  So basically the hotel is putting it's life on the line for Takeshi.

CH 34 pg 292

The hotel has broken the doctor.   It tells Takeshi it could put a fakw Takeshi in the simulation to keep the doctor company.  With this info Takeshi says, well if thats possible, just have the copy do the whole interogation.  Kadmin calls.  He's got Ortega.  Either Takeshi turns himself over to Kadmin or Ortega dies.  So like any self respecting hero he runs to save the damsel in distress and sacrifices himself.

CH 35 pg 299

Kadmin brings Takeshi to the fight barge.  There Carnage talks to Takeshi about how there's gonna be a fight and it will be broadcast and the appeal is that a lot of people know Ryker and want to see him die violently.

CH 36 303.

Kadmin is in a much more powerful sleeve.  Takeshi had no  chance of not dying.  But this isn't just a guy trying to kill another guy.  We've got lots of paying customers to entertain.  So kadmin takes Hus time.  Too much time cause the cavalry of Trepp and Ortega's partner Bautista show up to save Takeshi.
