IC: Reign of Shadows Options

[Emp]

Mirage feels the body that's wrapped around her coming back to life. "Sweet" Kim whispers "You can let go now if you want, we should move on."

[Raiko]

"You're just full of surprises," Mirage whispers. "Ok, lets keep moving."

She carefully opens the door and continues following Todds directions.

[grendel]

The team moves down the corridor stealthily, alert for any security personnel. Todd is able to track their movements easily via the security cameras. The chemical storage room is secured with a maglock featuring both a card reader and keypad.

[grendel]

Deep in the electronic heart of the Depot, Todd performs a careful surgery on the massive tome representing the system's security log. With luck, any digital fingerprint left by the team will be excised cleanly. As he completes the task, an unidentified icon swirls into existence in the host.

[Raiko]

Hearing a click as the door unlocks, Mirage opens the door and cautiously steps into the storage room, gun at the ready.

[Silverspur_2020]

Feeling the wind flowing over his wings as he soars high above the compound... Jim watches the security personel for any signs of anthing unusual, watches surrounding roads to make sure nobody is coming near... and generally watches over the team like a god might look down on his people.

[Emp]

Going in behind Mirage, Kim immediately starts to look around for the canisters.

[grendel]

The storage room is dominated by ranks of industrial gray plastic shelving, each packed with carefully labelled white boxes of medical supplies. Along the back wall of the room are separate storage areas for items requiring refridgeration or an inert atmosphere. Armed with the canisters' ID numbers, Kim moves quickly to locate and secure the items. It only takes a couple of minutes to figure out the numbering on the shelves, and shortly thereafterward, to find the two canisters.

[Yum Donuts]

Firmpoint has been sitting in the car and decides to take the downtime to clear up a few things. He starts with the astral signature in the area from summoning the watchers and then the one by the fence from the barrier spell (see ooc for rolls).

After that, he resumes watching out the windows, reaches into his jacket to check on the MGL6 he wears in a shoulder holster.
He has his watchers make another round of the complex, looking for anything living or astral in that area.
He's not used to the idea of sitting back while others go in, and his mind is racing over everything that could be happening, and trying to make multiple backup plans for every concievable scenario, he begins looking around the van for any signs of armament, or at least armor.
His starts up in his seat as he mentally kicks himself for not finalizing the plan before letting them go in.
"Just curious, did anyone bother to have a getaway plan? once we get the canisters out, where are we going? are we changing vehicles? do we have a police scanner to know when they report the break in?"
Realizing he may be throwing a wrench in things he quickly adds,
"You guys inside don't worry about it, you just keep your mind on doing what you're doing, we'll get it worked out by the time you get back. I don't want you trying to tell me about your cousin's place and forgetting to wipe fingerprints off a door handle or something."
Turning to Jim and Todd, "Do either of you have a safehouse or will I have to manufacture one? I can do it, if we need it, but would rather have something pre-established."

[Silverspur_2020]

Jim looks up from his gaze out the window (or at least, thats how it would appear)... "ts ok, Ive know this area fairly well and have my drone up in the sky watching the area. If it would make you feel better I will plan several different escape routes while we wait, Taking into account different things happening... an no, I dont have anywhere we could use."

With that Jim changes his bird in the sky's roll to developing different routes out of the area, such as the ones which will have plenty of side roads and possible escape routes. even ally ways that he could squeeze down!

[Emp]

Kim looks at the canisters and then to Mirage. She sighs, thinking "I guess I really have to carry one now." Picking up the first one it's even heavier than she thought it would be. She carefully places it on the floor, hoping the other one will be a bit lighter.

[Raiko]

Mirage picks the canister up off the floor and holds it against her body, wrapping her left arm around it, her bio enhanced muscles tighten, but she holds the heavy canister one armed without much effort. She continues to hold her manhunter with her right hand.

Over the TacComm to Todd and Ghost: "We have the canisters, is the exit route clear?"

[Grey]

Todd scans the cameras, looking over their exit path to make sure they'll have no company.

[grendel]

While not directly on the team's egress path, there are a couple of guards conducting a patrol of that section of the building.

[Grey]

Using the buildings floor plan as a referance, Todd guides Mirage through the building, trying to keep her and Kim as far from the guards as he can.

[grendel]

Despite the additional bulk of the canisters, Mirage and Kim follow Todd's directions like ghosts. The round about path to avoid the guards adds a couple of minutes on to the time spent inside, but both runners eventually end up at the same door they entered through.

[Emp]

Kim puts the canister under her coat to avoid any sharp edges from cutting into her fingers and to see if it will turn invisible too. She follows Mirage around without questioning the detour, but is happy to finally end up at the exit. No way she's going to put on her high heels again now, she'll just have to go shopping with Todd for some new socks.

[Yum Donuts]

Watching in astral perception, Firmpoint monitors the team as they step outdoors, when they get up to the fence, he re-creates the barrier long enough to get them across:

ooc:
sorcery test (TN=10 for 3 spells and a light wound)
04 05 01 02 01 12 01 11 05 21 03 04 01 03 = 3 success

and now the drain... 7S
02 09 05 03 10 03 = 2 successes.
So now I have 4 boxes of drain (3 if it's been 12 min since I first summoned barrier)
I drop the barrier then, the second the last person is off it.

[Silverspur_2020]

See the shadow like figures at the door Jim starts the car and it purrs into life... its highly tuned engine ready for work. Getting onto the radio he puts out a general message to the team..."whoever is gonna be driving the other car, follow me as I have worked out several routes through which to depart!" and he jacks himself in... feeling his heart turn into a humming engine pumping petrol through his body....

[Raiko]

After checking with Todd and Ghost that the way is still clear, Mirage sets off towards the hole in the inner fence.

[Raiko]

Over the Commlink

"Firmpoint we're going to need another magic bridge."

[Yum Donuts]

ooc: see above, I posted in advance since I have this unnatural habit of disappearing for a week at a time and didn't want people waiting on me, but yeah, the bridge went up as soon as you drew near the fence.

"Already on it."

[grendel]

Again, utilizing the faintly glowing barrier, Kim and Mirage traverse the narrow no-man's-land between the fencelines and return to the staging point where the two vehicles are parked.

[Emp]

Back at the car Kim opens the door to let Firmpoint out. "I got shotgun." She realizes that it might have come across a bit inimical, so she quickly adds "I want to put on my shoes again. Could you take this heavy thing from me please? You can drop the invis."

[Grey]

Todd logs out, and quickly goes to work putting the terminal back into the shape he found it in... broken.

He then gives his skateboard a few kicks and heads over to meet up with Mirage. "Nice work. Lets bug, eh?"

He climbs into her car and pulls the door closed.
