The garage is empty when Dragon arrives except for Apoc who is tuning up his Doberman which had been on patrol during the night. "Hoi, chummer. Coffee?" he asks as he waves the newcomer inside.

Dragon helps himself to a cup of coffee with a nod of thanks. After sipping it and letting the kaf warm him up a bit, he pulls up a chair and starts talking."
"Thanks for the kaf. Did you get the info from my decker friend? I sent it to you all, and I made sure to check whether it was remote rigged or CCSS. It's CCSS, so it looks like we've got our work cut out for us. I think we may want to do a little digging on just what exactly Mr. Johnson wants from us, as well as who this warehouse is operated by. They seem to have a lot of security for just a few boxes, and while too much knowledge can be dangerous, I'm starting to get a little paranoid this may be a little more complicated than meets the eye. What do you think?" |

Apoc gives a low whistle. "Well, chummer, CCSS still has weaknesses, it's just that subversion is going to be tough. I'd wager to say that magic will be a pretty good way to avoid the system entirely, but that might have other problems."
He shrugs. "I know for a fact that if I need to take over this guy's system that it ain't goin' to be easy and it definitely ain't goin' to be quiet. Things are always complicated. Else they wouldn't be shadowruns." |

Renegade spends the next five hours warding the safehouse against astral intrusions. He then summons another watcher and takes it down to the warehouse, giving it the same instructions he gave the previous one.

When Renegade arrives at the warehouse, the watcher he had there tells him a lot of people came and went but none of them were magical.
Apoc and Dragon review the footage the blimp drone took while they slept. The guard and employee shift changes occur as the Johnson said they do. They watch as the first truck pulls up to the gate. The driver gets out and passes papers through the slot under the glass. A man comes out of the guard shack and goes to the back of the truck and has the driver open the doors. After a quick look, the guard hands the driver his paperwork and returns to the guard shack. The gate is rolling open by the time the driver gets back in the cab, and the truck drives through moments later, the gate rolling shut behind it. The process pretty much repeats itself for each arriving truck. The first truck in easily backs up to a dock door, the trailer doors still open from the inspection, and the driver enters the smaller door in the middle of that side of the building. About an hour later the driver leaves the building and gets in his truck. He pulls up in front of the gate and again passes his paperwork through to the guard. A guard comes out and looks into the trailer, then has the driver close the doors and watches the driver padlock them. The guard returns to the shack, the gate rolls open, the truck leaves, and the gate shuts behind it. The routine is similar for the couple dozen trucks that morning. |

After reviewing the footage, Dragon looks at Apoc and says, "Seems like Mr. J's info was on the up and up thus far. Fairly tight setup. You got any initial thoughts on beating their security? I'm thinking taking the stuff en route via fake work order may not be such a bad idea, personally."

Blender spends the rest of the morning asleep on a couch in the safehouse.

Apoc and Dragon pause for a moment in their review of the surveillance footage and hear Blender's soft snoring. They look at each other and wonder where everyone else got to. |

Apoc looks to be deep in thought. "I think this is going to have to be an infiltration instead of an invasion. If we can get someone inside with the code, they can get the package from the cage and put it somewhere that we can pick it up as a second phase of the operation..."
He seems to be thinking it over. "Wonder if that code is still good..." |

Dragon glances at Apoc. "Where do you think the rest of the team is? It's really late. I hope we ain't down to three. In any event, you got any thoughts on this? If we lost our infilatration team, we may want to try hijacking the truck outside the facility when the box is moved...thanks to a false order. What do you think?"

Apoc nods his head. "Best way to deal with security is to not go through it at all. For that matter, could we just get the box delivered somewhere and pick it up from there?"

Dragon shrugs. "It's possible. How much of a budget you think we got to hire a decker?"

Apoc fishes through a grubby pocket and produces four credsticks. "Well, I snagged six grand from the meet as operating expenses and I've got that two grand advance, as well. Everyone else got the same... Not sure what we're wantin' yet, though, so I suggest we figure out what we want the decker to accomplish and see what it'll cost us instead of the other way around."

Dragon grins. "Good thing you grabbed the money. Let's go wake up Blender and see what he thinks."

Just then, Apoc's phone rings. Glancing at the Caller ID box, he notices that it's from the same phone that Pierce had colled him on earlier. "Running a little late?" he asked jokingly.
On the other end, Pierce sounds a bit hurried. The sound of gunfire makes it difficult to hear his voice. "Yeah, just a bit," he said dryly. "Listen, somethin's come up, and I gotta bow out, maybe for aw-one sec." Apoc heard the sound of another gun firing four quick bursts, much closer to the cellphone, punctuated by Pierce yelling, "Stop! Shooting! At! Me!" The gunfire somewhat more subdued, Pierce reappears on the line. "Definately awhile. Another time, perhaps? Gotta ru-oh, sh-" The phone disconnects. :ooc: Just thought I'd make it a bit more official. :) |

Apoc puts down the phone. "Looks like Pierce is out. And I doubt we're going to see that part of the advance again."

Dragon scowls. "Well at least we won't have to lose another share on the back end then. Anyway, so what do you think, hire a decker to get us in there, or to get the package out?"

Apoc shrugs. "Don't know. Hire a decker to find out what can be done... they might be on a private grid, which'd make either option tough. I'd like to confirm some of what the Johnson handed us, too."

Dragon nods. "Sounds good. What else haven't we confirmed yet? The schedules and security he told us about seem to be on the level so far."

Apoc nods. "At least as far as we've seen... the big one, the one that's likely to get someone killed, is the code for the cage."

Dragon grimaces. "Good point. But how are we going to test it, short of actually trying it out?"

Dragon spots a small white sign Tacked to the outside of the guard house. It seems fairly new, no real sign of weather beating yet. He draws nearer upon reading the bold letters at the top:
Now Hiring Warehouse personnel, should have experience operating forklift, Apply in person at Temp-T Jobs at <address> Seattle, May Lead to FULL TIME POSITION |

Dragon heads back to the base. "Hey Apoc, I think we got a way in. How about you apply for the job, give us a man on the inside. You can handle the forklift easy, and then it'd give us a lot more options to beat security. What do you say?"

"An inside guy, working as a forklift operator," Renegade muses. "That could work, but keep in mind we have only till the end of the week to do this job. He would have to start work immediately, and demonstrate a high level of competence, and quickly adjust to the new job, so that they wouldn't assign another employee to supervise him and make sure he knows the ropes. He would have to become a trusted employee in just a few days."

Dragon nods. "Good point. Could we use magic to influence them? Or failing that, what if instead of trying to get someone in as a new hire, we have false records planted that show him as a transfer? Or maybe rig up a background that may help him be accepted quicker?"
