IC: Reign of Shadows Options

[Raiko]

Mirage nods, "I could use a couple of Gamma-Scop rounds on the gate guards, they're pricey, but much cheaper than elementals, so I'm prepared to use three or four rounds without claiming expenses from everybody else."

She grins, "given the 5000 nuyen payoff, it's stictly non-drug rounds after that though. My gun's silenced so if Todd handles the camera's nobody should notice."

[Yum Donuts]

"And, if we want cheap hits, my spells are free too. plus they're silenced, and I have infinite range, just need line of sight. bulletproof glass don't mean squat either. "

[Emp]

Kim's getting impatient again. "Yes, I'm sure you can all get past the guards and although that's very impressive I'm more interested in if there's anyone who can get past a lock."

[Grey]

"I can open them for you. They all had matrix connections. This is what Overwatch is all about."

[Yum Donuts]

"So, muscle our way in, find the stuff, and muscle our way out before reinforcements arive. that's our plan? If so, it works for me, provided we can find the stuff.
Unless someone's got a better idea, I suggest we have our wiz-kid over here go in, get us a hard copy of the floor plan of the area, then drop into each of the cameras, scan the rooms, and find where things are. just look for canisters of that size, or any ordinary storage. divide all the rooms into 3 groups: not there (broom closet, etc), possibly for general storage areas, or very likely if you see objects that match the description. that'll cut our search time down alot."

"Oh, and I still suggest using chemsuits as disguises, it is Star in there. does anyone have a contact that could get those, or should we pop out a yellow pages?"

[Grey]

"Umm... I already got you floor plans, but I can look up the ID number for the containers and tell you where to go to pick them up."

[Raiko]

"Todd, can you give me an electronic copy of the floorplans for my orientation system?"

[Grey]

"If you can give me a chip to use, sure."

[Emp]

"So we go invis. Todd takes care of the camera's. We cut through the fences. Todd opens one of the personnel entrances. We get the canisters and go out the same way."

Kim looks at Jim confidently. "Any reason why we shouldn't start now?"

[Silverspur_2020]

Currently wishing he was on some other run, with some other people Jim feels a little bugged this women... but a good quality in a person is to admit when your beaten, so he glosses over how he feels and says confidently "sure, no reason at all, but as was said before are we going to use chem suits as a disguise?"

[Emp]

Ok, that was the last straw for Kim. No help from Jim to keep this job from turning into a massacre either. She wonders why someone thought to put her together with this bunch of unscrupulous cutthroats. What did she ever do? Hmmm.. this was definitely not good. These guys were planning to kill people for some pocket money. Would they kill her if they knew what she was wearing? This line of thought was getting very disturbing.

[Emp]

It takes just a few moments for Kim to get her act together again.
"Please tell me how a chem suit, or any other disguise for that matter, will be helpful once we are invis Jim. I think it only makes it harder to move without making noise."
Kim looks down to her high heels. Drek, that's gonna make sound too. No stockings, so I may leave some clammy footprints if I take them off inside.
"Todd, gimme your socks will you hun? It's time for action."

[Grey]

"Hang on a sec, if you guys are going in now I need to go into the system and prepair a few things first. I don't want to have to do stuff that I can get ready ahead of time while you are on the run."

Todd steps back to the dataterm that he has been using and jack in once more.

[Raiko]

Mirage says, "Actually chem suits might be a good idea, I've got a clip of Neuro Stun mini grenades and an MGL-6. They're pretty effective, but it's a nerve gas and so respirators aren't any use, and it takes about ten minutes to disperse."

"Using these, if our stealthy approach fails, we can hopefully take out any opposition without resorting to lethal force. How much would three or four chem suits cost us?"

[Emp]

"That certainly is a good reason for those chem suits, but I'm willing to pay for all your drugs if it works faster than the gas." Kim says to Mirage and gives her a smile.

[Grey]

Todd unplugs the cable from his head and smiles, "Alright. I setup a local SuperUser account for myself on their host, so I can run around with less risk of setting off security flags. I'm ready to go when you guys are."

At that, he slips off his shoes, pulls off the socks he has been wearing for the last week and hands them over to Kim. "Those are my only pair, so I want em back when yer done."

[Emp]

"Hehe, that's funny." Kim says while taking them between two fingers. "They sure smell like you've been wearing them a while though." She waves them a little and before putting them in the pockets of her coat they look clean again.

[Yum Donuts]

"I see a problem coming and I would like to address it now so it won't be a surprise later on. I am a combat mage, and have always marketted myself as such. I am the guy they call in when they want to win a battle. Now, perhaps it was an error on our employer's part to have hired me for this mission, they obviously do not do thier homework very well, but the fact still remains: my spells and skills have not been trained for stealth.
Now, I agree that killing people leads to more complications than not killing people. I am fully prepared to assist this stealth operation in any way I can, I do have some skill in moving silently as well. But, I want to state it outright that if something goes wrong, I will go back to what I know best."

[Emp]

Strengthened by the unsuspected support of Mirage, Kim decides to take a chance on getting this job done the way she wants, without stepping on too many toes.

"Let's not jump to conclusions Firmpoint. Our employers have been lying to us and obviously they were right they could get away with it. After all we're still going to do this for them, so I don't think they are stupid. Perhaps they had a good reason for bringing us together too. It doesn't look like any of us is against killing, but at least I want to have a better reason. I'm not gonna stand here planning multiple premeditated murders. Those skills of yours may prove invaluable in the continuation of their plan. Surely this is only the beginning if we don't frag up. The faster we do this job, the more impressed our employers will be and how much easier it will be to negotiate higher fees in the future. This all sounds very easy and it should be, since there's nothing of great value inside. There shouldn't be any reason for us to delay this mission, so if we don't do this now our employers may start to wonder. My suggestion to solve our problem is that you leave your body behind when we go inside and scout for guards comming our way. That way if things go south you can just leave instead of killing everyone."

[Silverspur_2020]

"So where do you want me in all of this? - do you want me on the inside? or shall I see if I can get us a van to use as a getaway vehicle and pick you up once you get out?"

[Emp]

"Whatever you think is best Jim, with the reservation that Firmpoint has no trouble keeping the three of us invis of course."

[Raiko]

"You can cast on me last, hopefully my coat will hide me even if your spell doesn't."

"Before we go, does anybody have anything to cut through both fences with? Or do we need to go shopping?"

[Silverspur_2020]

"Thats ok.... ive got a toolkit in the back of the car, thats got some clippers in I think" and with that Jim heads off to get the toolkit

[Yum Donuts]

Firmpoint just kind of looks curious "you want me to keep 3 of you invised at one time while I park my meat here and follow you in astral to look through doors to make sure it's clear? .... what the heck, I can try... who all needs to disappear?"

[Emp]

"Great!", Kim says cheerfully, "I'm ready when you are."
