IC: Reign of Shadows Options

[Chance359]

Sedryk takes a long pull from his beer and looks around the table.

"I've got a van that a friend left me that's got some a high quality electronic toys in the back. I think theres a dataline tap and a couple of ranged microphones in the back. Personally, I've only seen the stuff used, never had any hands on experience with it, but it could help. I'd be willing to pull a some time tomorrow morning keeping an eye on the place, though with it being the weekend I doubt there'll be much traffic." Sedryk avoids eye contact with Iso.

[Tanka]

Iso squirms noticably at the mention of all the toys in the back of the van.

"I'd absolutely LOVE to play with some of those! I could hop along for the ride and see what kind of fun toys you've got back there!"

She giggled, almost like a little girl, but with a hint of curiosity.

[Grey]

Grey gives Iso a glance before turning back to the rest of the group.

"First things first. The Decker. Anyone know a good one who can be trusted?"

[Large Mike]

White sighs. "Yeah, I know a guy. He's good. Not great, but good. I'll make the call."

Pulling out his cellphone and turning on the power, White dinfs the appropriet number in his address book. "Hey, Blue Chip. You up to a little work for the next little bit here?"

[grendel]

Blue Chip's avatar, a blackjack dealer dressed in a white shirt and vest, shuffled the virtual deck of cards, a smile on its face.

"Ah, my good friend Mr. White. What can I do for you today?"

[Large Mike]

"Well, I was wondering if you'd be up for a little work? We're about to do a smash-and-grab and we'll probably be needing info. We'll definatly be needing the blueprints for the place, and we may need some employee profiles. There will probably be other things, too. Got the time?"

[grendel]

Blue chip smiles.

"My time is available for the right amount of nuyen. Give me all the information you have and I'll see what I can dig up."

[Large Mike]

White gives all the information he has to Blue, and gets off the phone. "Alright. Now, what we need to do it go and stake the place out. If you don't mind, I think I'm going to go stash my meat body somewhere else while we're on this. Anyone object to starting tonight, while it's still early."

[Chance359]

Sedryk finishes off his beer and sets the empty mug down on the table.

"Well I'm free tonight, I could get my van and meet you there White."

[Tanka]

"Tonight? Sure thing! I'd be happy to take a peek inside of your van, Sedryk! Seems like you might have some nifty toys in there to play with."

Iso, once again, giggled and winked playfully. She really did just want to take a look at all the toys in his van.

[Grey]

Grey nods. "Lets do it."

[Silverspur_2020]

"That shouldnt be a problem" says Jim...

[Chance359]

Sedryk politely excuses himself from the table and heads towards the bathroom. Taking a moment, he uses a public phone to call Mellow's cell, leaving her a message that he'll see her in the morning.

Upon returning to the table, Sedryk pauses before sitting down. "I propose that we each head our seperate ways for this evening. Any one who is interested in giving this place a look over tonight, meet me back at the parking ramp in two hours, look for a black van with dark red rims on it."

Sedryk turns and walks away from the table, without looking back. Once outside on his bike, he lights one of his flick sticks and takes several long drags trying to calm his nerves. Hope that wasn't too forward, but I just feel out of my league with some of them, I gotta remember my place, lift this, kill that.

[Grey]

Grey nods. "Sounds like a plan. I hope you got room to spare in that van of yours."

With that he steps outside into the cool night and lights up a cigarette of his own. He gives a nod goodbye to those within eyeshot and walks down the street towards his bike, trails of smoke whisping around him as he goes.

[Silverspur_2020]

"No problem..." and with that Jim makes his excuses and leaves, heading back to his car he makes the short drive back to the car park and waits there, parking up against the wall so he can see the entrance/exit to the carpark... taking the chance to get some shut eye before a long nights work, he winds the seat back a little and has a rest.

[grendel]

Bicson's supply depot is a rectangle measuring sixty meters by one hundred twenty meters, with the long side running east west. The compound is surrounded by a double chainlink fenceline separated by five meters. The entrace to the depot is on the southwest corner, and consists of a two gates, thirty meters apart, and a ten by ten meter guardhouse. Any vehicles entering the compound will stop after coming through the first gate to be inspected by the guardforce before being passed through the second gate. Inside the fenceline is a parking lot for employee vehicles, while cargo transports will park at one of the three covered loading docks on the north side of the depot. The building itself is three stories tall, and measures forty by sixty meters. Apart from the large garage entrances on the loading docks, there are only two other personnel entrances. The entire compound is lit to a constant low-light level by pylon mounted sodium arc lamps.

[Large Mike]

White's body was safely several miles from here, in his home. It was alwayse a little different finding a place in the astral. After cruising around a little bit and enjoying not having to deal with gravity, White settles down after a bit and circles the building, looking carefully for anything magically active. He then circles again, looking for anything living, and again for spirits, and again for wards.

[Silverspur_2020]

Jim looks at his watch...hoping that the others will be there soon, as he wants to get on with this soon....

[Grey]

Abotu 15 minutes before everyone is supposed to meet up again, Grey pulls into the parking structure. He parks his bike next to Jim and gives him a nod hello.

"Lets get this show on the road, eh?"

[Chance359]

A black GMC stepvan with red rims rolls into the garage and parks next to Jims car and Grey's bike.

Sedryk climbs out of the driver seat and crushes the but of a cigarette under his combat boot.

"Everyone ready?"

[Tanka]

Iso coasted up next to Sedryk's van, as well as the rest of the group. She turned off the bike, swung her leg over and got off the bike quietly.

"I'm ready to see some of those toys you got. Although, if you really need me to, I'm sure I can convince the guards that we really need in."

She winks, then checks to make sure she's looking her best either way.

[Silverspur_2020]

Casting a quick eye over Grey's bike Jim smiles "I can't wait, its been ages since I saw some proper action...not to mention earned the proper money to go with it!!"

As Sedyrk pulls into the carpark jim thinks how much of a cliche it is to have a van that is loaded with surveillance gear and then paint it black or grey! people who love their conspiricies always love black vans... in his experiance, lighter colours worked better, because people paid less attention because they were so common! hence why he kept his honda metallic blue!

[grendel]

White, engulfed by the rainbow hues of astral, you slide effortlessly across the urban landscape towards your destination. The building is unremarkable from this plane, and appears to have no magical defenses whatsoever. There is an uneasy air about the place, though, a shivering of the astral plane where it touches medicines not wholly natural. Nothing you haven't felt before in any hospital in the metroplex, though.

[Large Mike]

Almost dissapointed at the lack of anything interesting, White materializes near the van, where everyone can see him. "The outside looks basically normal. There doesn't even seem to be magical security. I think it's worth the risk to take a look around inside. Maybe I can find a hearth spirit and ask it what the building's like, maybe even layout and whatnot. Unless someone tells me not to for some reason, I'm about to go do that."

Seeing the inside of the van, he adds, "Nice toys."

[Chance359]

Sedryk hangs his long coat over the back door and begins cliping a holster set and slipping his pistols where they go.

"This job sounds too easy. Anyone up for just hitting it tonight?" He smiles dumbly, before sticking a black cigarette in his mouth and putting his coat back on.
