[IP] Uncaring Stars Options

[Gilga]

Anna says "I'll go pay the man." She says and uses the clash between James and Alex to disappear.
She goes ahead and rents the office, without haggling on the price or doing anything worthy. "We discussed it, and we'll rent the place".


---
When she returns she asks "So whats our plan looking like?"

[Jack_Spade]

The man took the money and smiled: "Good for you. Time to head out for the weekend for me. Here's the keycard and a duplicate. You can reach me again next Monday again - should you still be around then."

With that, the team had the run of the ground floor office.

[Volker]

"All right, guys, do you need any more preparation time? Because if not, I say, we prepare at dawn and then strike asap."

[ Spoiler ]

I lost track of how late it actually is, but since we've been to the museum, to the Rabbi, at the director's, been waiting for 90 minutes and then inspected the apartment, I'd assume it is already evening, or close enough to it.

"Let's not make any suspicious work this night. We don't want the vampires to get wary. I'll go get a monofilament chainsaw in the meantime."

[Thanee]

"I got everything, I need. Just have to get it here," Nova explained. She also forwards their time schedule to the hunters, once they made a decision.

[Gilga]

Anna responds I definitely want one of these... The Trix says they'll cut through anything... How do we get one?

[Volker]

bnc will ask Nova to inform the vampire hunters about the exact time - which is dawn. Once the stuff has arrived and bnc has got some four healthy hours of sleep, she returns to the office roughly an hour before sunrise to prepare for the assault. She'll carefully and silently remove the lock's case, check and double-check to have the anti-vampire ammo loaded (though she equips the drone with AP ammo in case there are tough nuts to crack). She'll position the drone outside to have a good line of sight to both the door and wherever the ventilation shaft exits.

Once she's finished with her stuff, and if no one else takes charge of the group equipment, she loads a tactical soft and distributes it.
She'd place one of the dazzlers in their office to improve their defenses and to take with us when we go down. The other dazzler, again, she would put to the end of the ventilation shaft to suppress their ability to use mist form when they try to use the shaft.
Once their respective team members have taken up the grenades and the StakeHammer, there's only the stake-loaded Airbow left to hand to James, and again double-check that the autosoft install has worked.

After a busy hour, bnc wipes her hands on her trousers. "All right ... I'm leaving. Are you ready to roll, chums?"

I linked the list of gear we bought from the rabbi:

[Gilga]

Anna would return to the Rabbi to pick up their preparations before the assault trying to have them as fresh as possible without risking the logistics of the operation. Aside from that, she also does her best to help with acquiring the monosaw.

[ Spoiler ]

Jack can you remind me what the preparations do?

[Crossbow]

Taurus has his AC and other gear on site, he also got some sleep and a quick bite. Well before dawn he is armored up and armed, and getting details of what he needs to do as the breach man, he has seen it done, but with his usual place is as a bodyman for the primary, this will be his first time doing it.

[Thanee]

Nova did, of course, notify the hunters of their planned time for the attack.

She also brought the gear to the place, that she figured would be useful.

[Volker]

Once the team is set, the weapons are prepared, the vampire hunters are in position and bnc has created a team channel for our team, a second one including the vampire hunters, a shared ARO map with a three-dimensional map containing as much of the basement she can find on the 'trix, positions of all of the team members and traps, bnc is curled up cozyly in her bed, James cracks open the lid, hacks and opens the door, then counts down.
"Three.
Two.
One.
Go!"

At the count of three, he yanks the door open and steps aside, make room for Taurus and the others.

[Jack_Spade]

As soon as James had cut into the cover, an ear piercing siren tone started up, loud enough to deafen anyone without ear protection. The sound stopped quickly as the cut continued and destroyed the little hardwired alarm. Hacking the door was fast, but the element of surprise was now certainly gone.

The room beyond the door was dark and filled with thick smoke. Static from a powerful jammer filled the airwaves, threatening to cut off James' communication to bnc. Worse, ultrasound jammers also filled the sensors with random noise.

[ Spoiler ]

Noise rating rose from 2 (wire mesh in the walls) at the bottom of the stairs to 8 from an area jammer.
BGC is currently 2, aspected towards blood magic
Smoke is thick for -6 to visual detection,
Radar -12 through jamming
Thermal imaging is not compromised - except that vampires don't have much body heat beyond room temperature
Ultrasound -6 dito
Anyone without sound filter or similar equipment has currently -3 to hearing perception
Effective range of UV lamps is cut to 1m due to smoke

[Crossbow]

The minotaur moves through the door, noting the countermeasures, but happy that Ares Cybertech seems to be up to snuff.

"TIME TO DIE BLOODSUCKERS!!"

Perception: 14d6t5 5

If I understand things correctly I lost 6 dice off my pool, which means 4 hits off this roll, (or 3 if you want to take the first roll I made with 8 dice.)

Heavy Weapons: 17d6t5 6 16P -6AP

[Thanee]

While James was opening the door, Nova took the monofilament chainsaw to good use, cutting a large hole into the ground floor.

[Gilga]

Prior to the assualt, Anna augments herself with magic and summons a spirit of air for the combat.

[ Spoiler ]

summon F6 air: 16d6t5 6
resist F6q: 6d6t5 1
drain summon: 20d6t5 5
5 services, no drain. Optional powers weather control (if works indoors, otherwise energy aura)+ elemental attack


Int+Will: 2#21d6t5 6 7
drain intuition spell: 16d6t5 7
drain willpower spell: 20d6t5 7


stealth + reagents (10): 17d6t5 6 (-2 for sustaining)
drain: 20d6t5 7

Since I assume combat:
Initiative: 18+2d6 30

When Nova uses the chainsaw Anna uses the stealth spell to reduce the noise of the operation.

[Volker]

Initiative: 5d6+14 32
