Crimson Assets Options

[Grey]

"I got maglocks covered, no problem. Though I'll need to do some research on the retinal scanner. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with something."

[Dashifen]

"Let us know what intell you need on the scanners and I'd imagine that Jack or I could get it for you, on matrix or off." Turning to Rumi, PD asks, "Do you know the make and model retinal scanner that's installed on the site? That will help us track down information about it's capabilities."

[Grey]

"And if we can't fake the retinal scanner, I can always just crack the case and bypass it. Oh, by the way, how many of you have ways of keeping yourselves out of sight? I've got a 'Stealth Suit' that keeps be hidden from everything but astral visitors, but what about the rest of you?"

[Dashifen]

"I usually make my living by talking to people face-to-face, so I'd have to say I've got nothing other than my own skills to keep me out of sight. I might be better suited for rear guard on this one."

[Grey]

"You can also help us dig up information on the place before we go in, don't forget about that."

[Buddha72]

"I can get myself a "stealth suit", been meaning to and now I have a reason. I should have it pretty quick. I will be honest I don't have much too offer in the planning stages, especially with high tech security. But I take orders real well so let me know when you need something."

[Dashifen]

[Blitz]

:: Rumi shakes his bald head slowly. ::

"I'm afraid that information is unknown."

[Shadow]

:: With that, she disappears into the soft velvet folds. ::


Trace watches the women in the red dress exit the room, he waits a beat before turning to the group. He listens carefully as they lay out their abilities and specialties, smiles a little at Tricksters confession. Trace was about 6 months ahead of the young mage. He waits for everyone to finish before making the intro.

"You guys can call me Trace. I'm a little weary of this so lets all try extra hard to make it work." He speaks with a voice of authority, a kind of solid sounding tone usually reserved for cops. "It sounds like we got a pretty well rounded group, I myself am a mage, unlike Trickster I can summon elementals if needed, and now that I have some cash, probably will," he says with a smile.

"I'm with Sully, night is definitely the way to go. I also think we should hit the place on a Sunday night, less chance of there being some poor slob working late. I should be able to, briefly, hide anyone who needs it from both eye and camera, but only briefly. If no one minds I think we should handle the legwork this way." He holds up his finger, pointing to each person as he speaks.

"Wraith, you and Jack track down all the information you need on the onsite security, cameras, scanners, pressure plates,anything you can find about security will be helpful. I say you both because Jack should be able to find it, and you (Wraith) should be able to understand it.

PD, I want you to hit the streets, find out everything you can about this company, how long they have been around, news stories on them, anything. Maybe you could even get in the building and take some pictures, maybe interview one of their scientist. If your not comfortable using your legit job this way thats fine. Also, we will need pictures of the outside of the building, all the entrances and exits, and picks of the guards to, just incase. I figure with a name like PD you should be a great photographer.

Trickster, we need a good astral scout of this place, it's defenses, the watcher, and anything hidden. Don't get close enough to set off any alarms but do try and determine whats going on.

I think once we all have gotten this information we will be in a much better position to plan an op. When we are ready I would be more comfortable meeting at another location, one of our choosing. Any questions, or suggestions?"

[Grey]

"Sounds good to me. Only thing I'd add myself onto is helping PD check out the building. I want to work with Jack on figuring out the system, but I also need to see it first hand. I guess the only question I'd have is... what are you gunna be doing?"

[Fenris]

Stretching his legs as he rose, Jack shook his head. "Ah don't believe so..." If he wants to lead the group, more power to him...somebody's gotta do it.

He takes a quick moment to swap contact information with the group.
"Ah'll need a day to do a little poking around, and then ah can pass what ah have over to Wraith, and he can let you know when he's done with everythin'."

He pauses for a moment, looking for other questions or comments, and turns to leave if none are forthcoming.

[Dashifen]

PD smiles again, "Sounds good to me as well. I'll have to check with a few people before I'm willing to go in to the building with a press card, but I imagine I can pull a few strings. And, if not we'll still have the information from the streets. I'll also look through the Times back issues and see what I can dig up from them. If I can't get onsite, maybe I can talk to a reporter who did."

[Buddha72]

:: Sully listens and the group begins to take shape around her. Her expression seems neutral. ::

"Well, give me a ring when we get to the actual run. Just give me my instructions and I will my part done. Shoot me a plan when we have one, just in case I have something to add. Have fun boys."

:: She stands up and gives a nod to the group as a whole. She walks her way back to the bar and looks for Maddy. She waits till she has a free moment and leans over the bar towards her. ::

"Can you let Crimson know that I am waiting to meet with her at her leisure."

[Loki Spirit]

Kyle listens silently for a second, then shakes his head.

"I'm not sure if having PD going in legit is the best idea. After all, our hostess did say that she wants us to maintain absolute anonymity with this gig. If he turns up as a suspect during the investigation that will undoubtedly take place after we pull this off, it could become a serious problem. And face it, having an outsider taking a tour of the facility just before we jack their prototype is more than slightly suspicious, regardless of his credentials."

[Grey]

Wraith nods. "I agree. If you like, I can take a look around the place. I won't go inside and risk setting off alarms or running into the Watcher, but I can at least get a feel for the security system.

We should all exchange numbers before we go. Personally, you can reach me at <insert phone number here>. Don't bother calling me unless you have at least stage 4 encyrption, but I'd rather it be 6. If you don't have it, then go get it, you'll need to go with the job. If you can't afford it, take it up with Crimson, maybe she can hook you up."

[Loki Spirit]

Kyle shrugs. "I'm kinda poverty stricken at the moment, so I don't have a cell phone yet. I'll let you guys know my number when I do snag myself one."

He turns to Jack for a moment and says, "Hey man, could you possibly get a list of the employees that work at the office? Like the scientists, security team, wage slaves, etc? Somehow I suspect that a little social engineering might turn out some interesting stuff about the site we're supposed to hit. I'll need some details on them too, like where they live, how long they've been employed, their positions, personality assessments by superiors, stuff like that."

[Grey]

"Well, you just got handed 20 grand. That should get you a p-sec and some encryption, no problem. If you like, I'll hook it up for you."

[Loki Spirit]

Kyle shakes his head. "Thanks, but I can do without all that fancy stuff for now. If I want to have a secure conversation, I'll carry it out in person."

[Fenris]

"I'll see what ah can find. Since we can't get into the company host from the 'trix, the info's going to be limited unless ah hack in Ares, which, tempting as it might be," he grins, "Ins't quite beneficial to my health right now."

[Grey]

@Kyle

"Fancy stuff? You have to be kidding me. If you are going to be member of a shadowrun team, at least one as pro as this one looks to be, you need, need, proper communication between the members. What if you are in trouble and need us? You want the enemy listening in on that phone call? What if we need you?"

Wraith shakes his head in frustration, thinking to himself, I miss the old days... the Agency knew what they were doing.

@Jack

"What if I sneak on site, hook up a dataline tap, and transmit the signal to you offsite? We should find out what is accross the street. Maybe we could use a laser signal. That would be much more secure than a radio signal."

[Shadow]

"Thats fine, like I said, that's PD's call to make. He has a head cam so he can take pics without it being obvious." Trace hears the idea about going on site to install a dataline. "Didn't you just tell me PD shouldn't? If you got caught the whole gig would be blown." Before Sully leaves he gets her contact information.

"I am going to use my new found wealth and summon some elementals and watchers to help us out." He pauses to think a moment, "Wraith I think your best place to be is with Jack, he can get a lot of information, but he can't process it, and he may not know what to look for, you are our B&E guy, he will need your knowledge to refine his skills. Once PD get's the pics of the locks he can transmit them to you and you can begin working on a way to bypass them. If anyone goes on site though it has to be PD, he's the only person who could have a reasonable reason for being there if detained. Let's meet back in 24 hours, heres my number. If anyone get's into trouble or needs help, call."

[Grey]

Wraith hears Trace out and nods when he is done. "Alright, if thats how you guys want it to go down. I was figuring the chances of me getting caught were very slim, so it wouldn't be a huge risk. Oh, and so you guys know, I also have a cyber Opticam and Sound Recorder. I've got every senseware you can think of, from sound filters to ultrasound."

[Loki Spirit]

Kyle raises an eyebrow in surprise at Wraith. Whoa. Another case of paranoid city. Good grief.

"Don't sweat it guy, if I need to contact you, I'll find a way. You can't solve everything with high-tech gizmos, you know. Bugging you is useless if you don't use the cell phone to exchange sensitive information in the first place."

He smiles thinly. "In the meantime, I suggest that you stop worrying so much about the 'enemy' until you can actually confirm their existence. Does wonders for the blood pressure and the sanity."

[Blitz]

:: Rumi practices his unbelievably adept ability at hiding in plain sight and watches the group as it coalesces. An almost unperceivable smile creeps across his face as Trace steps up as team leader. ::

She was right...then again, she's always right.

:: He continues to watch and listen, though his smile fades at Kyle's interaction with the group. ::

We'll have to keep a short leash on that one. I'm not sure if he'll mature like she was expecting. Hopefully they can whip him into shape before it gets serious.

--------------------------

Sully:
:: As you make your way to the bar, Maddy approaches you. She is a slender girl with two long braids falling over her shoulders from behind her ears. She moves with the practiced grace of someone with years of experience, yet her figure and carriage suggest someone in the prime of their life. Her soft perfume is a mix of jasmine and cammomile with a light flavoring of the myrdrid of liquors she handles all day. ::

:: She smiles softly and her voice is the soothing alto of a world class listener. ::

"Crimson awaits your presence at the first door to your left up the left hand stairs. Just knock three times."
