<<I think the boat just became a nonissue. She’s going the wrong way, headed southeast towards Renton, too fast to be walking.>>

Truth begins firing commands into the matrix.

<<.Vehicle identified. Range Rover 2068. Three others in the vehicle with her. Searching.>>

Truth broadcasts the truck's node address, then begins scanning for personas near the doctor. A few seconds pass.

<<Occupants identified as Hillary Cummings, Brian Bradshaw, and Robin Stacy. Searching and cross-referencing them.>>

The bouncing red ball slows to walking speed on the grounds of a country club in Renton.

<<They’re stopped. Golf course. Looks like they’re settling in for a round of 18 and probably dinner afterwards. There’s no way she’s making the boat trip to the lab tonight.>>

"Her day off. Of course. Otherwise it would be too easy."

Truth glances up from watching the replay of the Las Vegas Gran Prix when he remembers that he forgot to mention what he'd found about the other golfers.

<<"This just keeps getting worse. Hillary Cummings is her sister. Brian Bradshaw is Hillary's boyfriend. Based on Hillary's blog entry, Robin is the doctor's blind date, and they have a late night dinner reservation at Wanda's Witchery. Based on how slow they're playing, these four are going to take all night to finish this round, and it'll be after 11pm before they're done with dinner, and she won't be home until midnight, if she goes home at all.">>

Dropping out of VR again, he glances around the room.

<<"Good thing we didn't invest a lot in the plan to attack her on the sound.">>

<<That's fine then, possibly better. If DD can get her commlink to not take incoming calls, the hit team can wait until after the datasteal team is done and it wont matter if they send her a warning, she wont get it, and by the time she would the hit team would have done...well she wouldn't get it regardless.>>

<<DD, since you are already into her Commlink and all that, can you pull anything from the commlink about the facility? Like mapsofts? or Anything else?>>

As more and more searching and data collection is happening more of you are starting to see a pattern or the big picture coming to light. You are seeing that the facility itself is being data swept keeping it's cover and concealment. The data of the facility is highly controlled from the lack of any data with the Doctor and how secure her commlink is. The security of the facility is small in number. This is pointing to the fact that it's an active black ops mission for the military. So you can make some assumptions the security force will most likely be Special Forces. The facility will have a fast response time for more troops. Anything on site will also be of military grade. Though this looks like the you have nothing on the facility it in fact the lack of data given you more information.

<<Tom>> The hit team can hit them on the golf course.We have plenty of time toget there. Are we still planning to split the team with the advent that we will meet special forces on the data steal? This is going to get bloody real quick guys.

Even if we dont need the boat. Lets arainge for him to transport us away from here till things cooloff . Maybe some nice camping after the job up the coast>>

<<"Truck's registered to her. I'm poking around to see whether its' matrix security has been beefed up. If it's not as crazy as the security on her commlink, want to take it over, Double D?">>

[Coldhand Jake]

"Alright. This place is harder to get into than Charlie's panties, apparently. We have someone on the other side, at least as smart as me, actively cleaning up any leaks of data about this facility. Which means, in turn, that I need someone smarter than me, -and- my opponent, to advise me."

Jake heads into the Seattle data havens, and decides to come at this from the opposite direction...

(What's the Seattle shadow matrix community have to say about this place? I'm tapping that 3/5 contact now, I want to know everything they do about this place.)

<<Hm... I think her truck will be as secure as her commlink... but let me see if I find a weakness. I'll take the long way, so as not to alert her.>>

DD starts to probe the truck's matrix security for an hour.

After an hour, and with Jake's help, DD finally finds an exploit to use to enter the trucks' security system node - and with security access.


Team Chat Channel:
<<Ok, we're in. Not as much security as expected. Want me to set up a back door, so you can check it out, Truth?>>

[DWC]

--Friday April 11th, 2070 at 1917 - Nyen Lang, Seattle--

<<"Wow. My pants are harder to get into than her truck's node. That's an off the shelf motor vehicle node if I've ever seen one. I'm amazed. I've got a better firewall than that protecting my sunglasses.">>

Etoile frowns and begins idly drumming her fingers on the table.

Team Chat - Encrypted <<Why do we need to 'ack 'er car? All we need to do is 'ack /another/ car, something big, and crash it into 'ers. It'll look like a real accident until they can finish the investigation, which could take 'ours if we're careful>>

<<"Just need to take control of a convenient garbage truck, city bus, or train to hit her with, but it should work. It'll probably kill fifteen or twenty other people in the process, along with her sister, her sister's boyfriend, and this jackass Robin, though. She might live, but I'd bet against it.">>

[Fuchs]

--Friday April 11th, 2070 at 2019 - Nyen Lang, Seattle--

DD doesn't like the thought of killing that many people just to get one woman, but stays silent so far.

Bloody butcher...

<<Team Chat>> <<I have a lead on the facility's data footprint. Seems it caught the eye of the local shadow hackers, and I'm talking to someone who can clue me in on what goes on involving the place, including their deliveries of commercial nanoforges and such.>>

<<Ok guys, its time for Dancing Eyes and I to start our summoning if we want to recover from the drain by the run tonight. I think Noowan should summon up an extra spirit too while he has time to recover. Another Water Spirit could help against the Fire Spirit thats bound to her.>>

<<Let us know whats up with the plan though, it shouldn't take much time but we'll need to concentrate while we do it.>>

"I'm going to go collect all my stuff and go do my thing. I'll stay on the comm line so I can listen in." Charlie tells the group, and then heads home

Once she gets home Charlie moves down to her basement and quickly disrobes. She brings a large basin of water into her circle and lights the quartet of colored candles. This time instead of a brown candle for the 5th candle, she lights a blue one.

"Water element of intuition, element of emotion, I need your aid. Come to me, grant me your serenity and strength." she calls focusing her will on the blue candle then letting it spill over into the pool as the Water Spirit takes shape from the standing water.

After the test of wills ended Charlie dismissed the Water Spirit back into the ether until it would be needed. Then she sagged against the cool concrete of the floor, curling up to rest from the strain.

how far away from the car is she,and her guards I am asuming they are her gaurds,if far enough away I can rig the car to blow. I got the stuff.

Gecko had been sat in a corner all afternoon, quietly listening while the others planned, plotted and investigated. In that time he had field-stripped and rebuilt an Ingram SmartgunX, tested it's 'Gecko Grip' system by sticking it to the underside of his chair, the small of his back, the wall and the ceiling and finally tested it's chameleon coating by making it vanish whilst stuck to the roof pointed at the door.

He used his newly acquired hardware toolkit to test a bewildering array of electronic widgets and gizmos which he carefully stored in the pockets of his olive green and khaki jumpsuit.

He has scanned himself, his new gear and all of his team-mates with a device called a 'Non-Linear Junction Detector, whatever that is' before burning out or destroying a number of RFID tags.

Finally, about an hour ago, he pulled the out-sized hood of his jumpsuit right up over his head and face and gradually faded into invisibility.

<<team chat>>

I'm not sure trying to plant a bomb in her car is a good plan. She's a rigger after all, would be kind of embarrassing to get run over by the car you're trying to sabotage.

[Oenone]

--Friday April 11th, 2070 at 1919 - Nyen Lang, Seattle--

Etoile glances at Noowan, then nods.

Team Chat - Encrypted <<You 'ave explosives and can set them up? Finally 'e says something useful. It would be safest if we break into 'er 'ouse and plant a device there. We can blow 'er up and if she somehow survives storm in while she is 'urt. Does anyone 'ave a problem with this as our main attack plan? The only problem I can see is if she does not go 'ome, then we will have to remove the bomb and track 'er down.>>
