I'll work these two together. You get a good map of the hotel, camera locations, fire exits, vent shafts, but nothing about security routes. You do know they have 24 hour security, with three shifts (8 hours each). The changes take place at 3am, 11am, and 7pm. Security is provided by Lone Star's private security company (who's name I can't remember right now). The building is not rigged. There is a security room on the first floor where the decker and mage/shaman work out of.

The convention is about how magical and medical research should start moving forward together. Not just in the field of healing, but also in coming up with new bioware implants. It will be a three day event with several high profile speakers attending, so security will be high at the hotel.

Because the doctor will be out of down, her husband wants to make sure she's safe. She will be escorted by a detail of four, one being awakened security.

Graduated top of her class in high school, went on to do the same at college. There she feel for the charming latino who would become her husband. He convinced her that her talents could be useful at Azztech and that she'd learn new and exciting things while working there. Every project she has worked on has been top secret and you get no info there.

Attends school at a high class private school. It used to be a catholic school, but that was rooted out long ago by Azztech. She has a 3.2 GPA and isn't involved in any of the schools clubs. Lives off campus (very rare for the school) with her uncle.

The decking runs you want to do... those will be handled seperately.

Do you use AIM by chance?
Ecclesiastes
What is the rest of the team doing while Chris is jacked in for two days?
Mister Juan
I don't have AIM but I could get my hands on it
Ecclesiastes
That or we could schedule a time to jump on Dumpshock's IRC server at the same time.

You'd just go to irc.dumpshock.com, change the Nickname to your own, and change the channel to #tequila.

When would be a good time for you?
Mister Juan
any time
I'll just finish what I'm doing and head over there
Ecclesiastes
Alright, Chris' Matrix run is finished up. The rest of the group has about a day and a half or whatever before he goes on it though. Does anyone want to do anything durring the time that Chris is doing all his searches?

If this is how you run a simple hotel's host.... I can't wait to get into the serious stuff nyahnyah.gif
Ecclesiastes
Well, I told you that they had bumped up security because of all the VIPs in town... vegm.gif
Mister Juan
Yea, but I honestly wasn't expecting THAT kind of a dump! I mean... come on! nyahnyah.gif

I enjoyed it thought... can't wait for the next one!
Ecclesiastes
Me either, cause you know it'll be Red next time... vegm.gif

perception of the hanger
[ Spoiler ]
Ecclesiastes
Its a hanger. There is a sleeping area setup in the back with curtains to seperate the rooms. There is an area with a ring of couchs and a trid unit in the middle, this is where Chris would be doing his Matrix work from as well. There is a fully stocked kitchen and then lots of open space and concrete.
Mister Juan
What about karma expenditures? If we have some, I take it we can't really increase skills "on the fly"
Ecclesiastes
Actually, thats fine by me. I've never been a big "You have to go through training!" type of GM. If you have built up karma and want to spend it, go ahead. Everyone, keep in mind that today is Monday so you get your weekly point.
Mister Juan
Today is Monday? Wow.... I have to stop working on the weekends, its messing up my system.

Ecc: if you want to do the second matrix run, I'm free today from now till 6:00
Ecclesiastes
Sorry, I'm at work right now, can't do it today. Lets give everyone else some time to catch up and then we'll worry about the second run.
Mister Juan
oookkkkkk frown.gif
Ecclesiastes
The map stuff should be a simple search. Go ahead and toss out the dice for it.

Now if we can just hold off about 17 more weeks before doing the run, I'll be completely ready. nyahnyah.gif

Okay, updating our requests and our plan.
    Leblanc (Two)
  • Target Building, Blue prints, security whatever you can get. The conference too, were going to need passes, routes in and out etc. We also need a room at a nearby Hotel, and if you can do it without setting off alarms, the Hilton would be great. Current Status:In Progress

    Miho (Four)
  • You hit the ground, walk every floor of the Hilton, get on the roof if you can. Once the Doctor is in town you shadow and Q is your back up if things go south.
    Current Status: Waiting


    Konton and Carmen (Three) (Five)
  • Magical Security, we need to know everything about it and how to beat it. You also need to become familiar with Azzie magical security practices, Leblanc may be able to help with that one.
  • Once we have a room to stay in and a safe house you guys will need to secure it magically.
    Current Status: In Progress

    Grendel (Base)
  • Learn the streets, fly the area with your drones, get familiar with it. Once the Doc is in town were going to button down until we make our move on the elevator.
    Current Status: Waiting

    Wraith (Seven)
  • We need 5 P comm. units rated 6 or higher on the Ares scale. We also need a safe house to fall back to and to store our extra gear. Including the sub.
    Current Status: In Progress

    Raven (One)
  • I am going to stay with Leblanc to be his physical guard. And to assist Wraith as needed.
    Current Status: In Progress

    Q (Six)
  • You are Mihos security, and back up for if anything goes wrong.
    Current Status: In Progress
Current Plan (Summary)
Leblance siezes the elevators the Tangos are in. Miho and possible one mage are on top. The elevators are stopped at an undetermined floor where Miho and mage attack. If needed Raven, Quillian, and the other mage will be outside the elevator to assist.

Let me know if that changes or needs updating.

a hotel has weapon scanners just to walk into the place, what has the world come too...

anyway how do these weapon scanners work 60 years? i'm sure hey anin't no metel detectors like today.
Qillin
I guess maybe a Etiquette roll might be in order for talking to the lady

[ Spoiler ]
Shadow
Well by canon they are called MAD detectors. And they work versus the conceal rating of the items you have concealed. In this case its a multi-billion dollar hotel chain in a high profile area so I figured they would have a higher rating scanner smile.gif

The canon description is completely at odds with what they actually do so I wont get into that. Suffice to say they detect weapons... wether they are plastic or metal.
Shadow
Anyone else doing anything atm?
Mister Juan
Chris is doing all his matrixy stuff... so beside that, eating and taking a leak, nope, ain't doing nutin nyahnyah.gif
Whizbang
Was planning on getting a watcher and a sky spirit to add to the security, but don't have my sheet or knowledge of what to roll at the moment.
Shadow
The 'back' side of the hotel is the convention center/beach. Theres no vehicle access back there. At least not public vehicle access. The only public road is the one you were dropped off on. You could go to the garage entrance and see if you can get in that way...
