SILVER FOX

"What are we waiting for then?"

Stands to leave.

"anyone whose coming with me to scope the place get moving, we got a time limit. oh. does anyone have a car?"

Long Shot thought about the proposition of two teams. That would be safer, but if one team gets caught, there isn't much the other will be able to do for them.

"I agree, we need a wizkid. Otherwise, we're sunk before we get started. I probably can't help with finding one. I've already asked the one guy I know about that sort of thing, and he's got nothing for me at the moment. I'll go with you Priest. Norm, you can catch a ride with us. Does somebody want to check out Public Records? Maybe we can get a better layout for this place. At the least, we should be able to see the original plans."

He looks around the room. "If you're coming the car is down the street." With that, he heads out and leads the way to his sedan. "She don't look like much, but she'll do the job okay." Long Shot revs the engine and pulls into traffic. On they way he tries to be friendly, "Names Long Shot. I'm pretty used to sneaking into places, but I'm accustomed to having a full compliment of talent around me. I'm usually the first one through the door, and the last one back out. I watch the backs of those that do the detail work. I'm also handy in a firefight if need be. What about you?"

Norm Follows Long-shot hoping the others follow his lead.

"The name is Norm, If you don't see me when trouble is around you'll know I'm doing my job; and I'll be dishing out the trouble. If it does come to the direct approach I'll be the one mixing it up in the midst of our foes: close and personal.

Two teams, might work. Ill be B&E most likely. hope we live. Norm thinks to himself

"As for our Whiz, I'm not the one for that position. And I don't know anyone cause I'm new to these parts. but if any of the others know anyone we should contact them on the way"

"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. We shall meet back here then, tomorrow night at 7pm, discuss what we have learned, formulate and agree on one plan of action, then the next night we do our jobs." Walking lightly out of the room as she opened an active comm channel to the group, and only her team as she turned a seperate direction.

wall running = 3 meters

free running = running + jumping + parkour = 15d6
jump to next wall = 7 hits

further wall running to roof top = 4 meters

Climbing the walls as she jumped up and onto the roof, with only practiced ease, she felt her usual release as she neared the night sky, breathing in the air as she felt the heartbeat of the city below her. "My name is Matron Sarah Gaven, I can get us to just about anywhere in the city, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. I have a church marked on our maps, and i have a bike, but i prefer a different mode of movement. The air we breathe is as clear water, but can still be stepped on as stone." Tracking the car as she followed along on the roof tops, following a normal route before she split off towards a rooftop near their target.

parkour routes test = 5

actual doing of said route = 9

Crisscrossing through several roofs she took her time as she enjoyed her own private little playground atop the city, "Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me."

She sure does have an odd way of talking, Long Shot thought to himself. But, I have to admit, she sure can put on a show.

He parked the car a few blocks from the target. "I think it's best if we walk the rest of the way. Long Shot made sure his respirator and goggles were neatly in place to cover as much of his face as possible for the cameras. No sense letting them know who I am.

"Hey Norm, Why don't you go left, I'll go right. We can meet up on the other side and compare notes. Uh, Matron was it? I suppose you'll be doing a fly by? Can those pretty little eyes of yours see if they can't spot some lonesome corp types? Geeky looking. Someone that might like to wet the whistle after work? We're going to need an entry, and I still think the best way in is with sec-badges."

Sloane glanced around as he listened to the people talk and then watched as the orc lady made a very extravagant exit, one that Sloane was almost tempted to applaud... He smirked beneath his helmet and stood up. This Norm fella sounded interesting, right in the thick of the fighting eh? Just where Sloane expected to be... Good, he'd have someone to keep an eye on and study. One thing Sloane loved was learning more about other people and the way they handled themselves...

He paused and looked to the people around him, "If it's alright with you, I'll be going my own way and doing a little digging of my own... See y'all in the morning..." And with that, he turned and went a different route, planning and cracking out a bottle of syntha-scotch and go over the maps he'd been given, trying to find out any security information he could about this place or even just trying to figure out the best way of planning out the security forces going off his old grunt days, where would he put the security teams, and thus, how would he now, using that information, plan the route in and out...

((I'm guessing the dice roll for this would be my Security Company Knowledge: 3 + my Logic: 3 for a pool of six unless there're any modifiers?))

As Havick and Long Shot walk up to the target area, Long Shot turns on his Image Link's recorder for future playback. As he walks the perimeter, he observes the scene in detail. He's looking for sec-stations, cameras, guard patrols, as well as people coming and going.

After a circuit of the perimeter, or as close as he can stay without appearing too suspicious, Long Shot heads back to the car to get a little shuteye. He makes sure that at least one of his external camera sensors is pointed at the main entrance and recording before getting a little shut eye. Long Shot sets his alarm for 5 am.

It's going to be a long day of sitting tomorrow. I might as well get a little sleep.

((I'll let Taniwhaiti roll for me as I feel it's better if I don't know how many hits I get for something like that. Perception 2 + Intuition 5))

Norm takes a walk around the perimeter and checks the place out

not much I can do here sometime i need to get a data jack not an internal one of course

Sighing as Matron Gaven looked into her living city, listening to the steady pulse of its beat, even closing her eyes to let her other senses take it all in, there would be awhile before she could get the chance to feel the night air, looking back into her book, "Though this be madness, yet there is method in it." Although its not all bad, as it was about to rain. Taking a last look as she braced herself on a familiar ledge, one she hadn't felt since the previous night, "Though i be before death, I need not fear him," diving over the ledge.

free running test = 9

Smiling as she felt the night air pass by, she felt her feet touch the glass of the building behind her, pushing off she would simply jump off of the building, doing a soft slow flip through the air as she let her coat billow behind her, as if it were her wings taking shape, before she reached the next side of a sky scrapper, she allowed her hand to reach out, slowing herself with the friction of the touch, smiling as her pretty blues looked onto the rushing ground, gently rolling onto the roof of the nightclub, she immediatly used a nearby ledge to further propel her over that ledge and into a quick release fire escape, letting it carry her to the ground, just like the night before, she walked away and smoothed any wrinkles out of her outfit, walking from the alley, to the street and into the nightclub, passing through the usual doors as she entered their meeting room.

During her stakeout she hadn't bothered to learn of the employees, she figured they could do that later that night, probably just carjack a security guard or an employee that dropped by a club, either or would get them a badge to get past the initial security, to scope out the innards, she figured she might get someone, if not herself to try to get a tour of the building, either asking the frontdesk, or simply getting an interview, eitherway, that would give them ample time to record the innards and get an idea of what needed to be done, as for the rest of the plan, well breaking and entering would have to be done from the top down, regretably, the loading dock was a huge risk for cameras and guards, so scrambling around the woods during the day, simply acting like wilderness folk would due if questioned, if they wore the right clothes. Using a hacker as a Coordinator, the B and E team could simply attach the mainframes by instructions.

Plan B, get inside the building during hours, pretending to be regular busines folk, applying for jobs, have someone trip a fire alarm, and go to work in the chaos of the building being evacuated, saved, etc.

She had both plans layed out on pads that she laid on the middle table, she wouldn't want this information readily available to the wireless world.

Long Shot gives his one and only contact Danny a call. Its a long shot but he thought he might give it another try. (Yeah, I spotted the pun as well. Pretty neat huh?) Danny is yet in another town evading the hammer most likely. He sits in a quiet cafe ensuring that he doesn't attract attention to himself. He fires up his Commlink and leaps onto a secure but free Matrix video calling site and speaks to Danny face to face. He does this for two reasons, one is to get the information he needs for the run and the other is so that seeing is believing and he can check up on just how much tyrouble Danny is in and how he may help out in any way. He lets him know that he will be in contact for about an hour or two and then winks out until he is called back. If he doesn't call back then Long Shot will head back to Matchticks to the briefing.

Yiska, cruising toward the second meet on his Yamaha Growler, whips open a quick search to find out exactly who the group will be dealing with. Not having physically attended the first meeting, he didn't want to show up to the second without something to show for his time. It hadn't been a completely smooth trip from Pueblo, Colorado to this meet, but he was glad to finally be changing scenes.

((Roll Data Search 3 + Browse 4 to find out some info on the building we're supposed to be checking out. I used the attached roller and rolled a few rounds. Let me know what I find and I may roll a couple more rounds for searching))

After a few hours sleep norm heads towards the matchstick. En route; norm thinks to himself:

Bad things sometimes happen when groups split up, I wonder if its the same with runners...better check on them

Along the way he activates his comm link and contacts Matron and Longshot.

"Norm here: whats your status Matron? Long shot?"

((on the roof top, before she leaped down to the second meeting))

"Our path is beset on all sides, but i shall not fear. I've done a fair amount of recon and come up with a few plans that i will share at our next meaning. Otherwise, it's business as usual. By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe." Closing the commlink as she bowed down again, reading from her book as she still looked out towards the club, wondering how she was getting down this time.

Pretty happy with his success so far, Yiska decides to pry a bit deeper into the connection between Knight Errant and Mitsuhama.

((Roll Data Search 3 + Browse 4 to find out some more info on the connection between Mitsuhama and KE/Ares. Possibly trying to decide if there's a way in dressed as KE guards. I used the attached roller and rolled a few rounds. Let me know what I find and I may roll a couple more rounds for searching))

Long Shot pours himself a fizz and saunters over to a comfy chair on the right. He then uploads his information to the teams Commlinks for the benefit of everyone.

Hey man, how are the stripes treating you these days? I am starting a new line of work as an independent, and I was wondering if you knew any people looking for work? Somebody who's good with computer systems would be a real asset on this one pal. I'll kick in a "finder's fee" for you if you have anybody.

APPLIED SECURITY CONCEPTS
One of the premier security company’s in Seattle, however recently fallen on hard times and all indicators point to a buyer, maybe Lone Star or even Knight Errant. Supplies all the security guards to the Center except for the Security Director, Jack Drury, a Mitsuhama employee.

You discover through the chat lines:

“Those ASCs couldn‘t even keep their own teeth safe if someone worth his rep wanted them. They know the company’s sinking, so their morale is garbage. With supplies cut back, all they‘ve been carrying is standard gear and some cheap body armor. Nothin‘ special.”
