ooc: im fine with grouping up errands as well. I just realized that Carver is great in a fight, but not great at planning/prepping without some guidance. lol

While he's out he makes sure to check the Matrix for anything sus. He figures most automated turrets and such would show up and if this Orc had something to hide he would want to know about it.

14:24, Today: Spike Breakdown rolled 2 successes using 7d6 with the Shadowrun 4th ed system with a target of 5 ((6,3,4,2,1,2,6)).

Mostly out of curiosity, Doc begins looking for a location that's suitable for the team base.   While he's technically got no real search engine skills, he's figured that laying out the basic parameters (e.g. at least two spots for shops and one commune area) should be a good place to start.    And it's not like he's expecting to have much to do for a while.

Mustang hangs out watching the screen. “I’ll hang out here until nightfall. Then I’ll do some physical recon off the top of the nearby tower.”

Drop Increase Intuition, Change to Increase Logic instead. Use the Computer Skill differently, logically, as looking for pictorial ads, descriptions of uniforms, business applications for security, etc.

Valerie looks on-line for pictorial ads, shows them to Miyako and Sylvia to give them ideas/

Thanks for the help Valerie, These look good, and i think will work great.

Bouncing between computer searches and real shopping, Valerie, Elizabeth, and Miyako manage to find something that should work for a uniform as long as observers don't get too close.  And it's on the way to the closest Chinese restaurant with decent reviews.  The DIMR's expense account should stretch that far without even a slap on the wrist.

Spike doesn't see anything in the way of nearby turrets.  The orc has a heavy pistol with a visible matrix icon.  Nothing else sticks out as obviously and immediately dangerous.

OOC: Though I may revise that last bit after some more reading when I get home.

Great work, hopefully this will let us get close enough, or maybe not set off people watching cameras right away.  I just need to get close enough and i can either talk us or cast us through individual guards.  A group at once might be a challenge.

DIMR gets a break on me here at least as i can't eat, but you guys don't worry about me go ahead.

  "I can just stand under their surveillance camera. They'll never know what hit them." Carver teased.

"With some creativity, I may be able to alter an individual or even group appearances."

Getting the coveralls was easy, though it took a little digging to find one you thought would fit Maverick's shoulders.  With clothes and food in hand, you made your way back to the offices as the sun was going down.

Spike's drone made a couple more passes around the block.  The ork was still sitting on the bench every circle, but you don't see anyone else, though at one point he was talking on his 'link.

OOC: Spike, if there's anything else you want to check out while they're still out, let me know.  If you want to make some Matrix Perception checks for anything 'sus' roll it and let me know what info you're looking for with the successes.  Also, let me know if the drone's just hanging out watching or if you're bringing it back home for now.

Otherwise we'll get everyone back together and see where we go from here.

Miyako shows up at the meeting point, a small backpack over her latex, along with the standard armored jacket that nearly everyone has.

"I'll try to keep at eye on him but I'll keep looking around." He says idly

OOC: I do another matrix perception to generically see if anything is running silently in the area (100M). I should have done that to begin with but I forgot how the system works.

Unless you want it to be ME in the area then it's a discussion of what does ME mean. Since I could jump in to the drone or simply run my Agent on the drone from my RCC and make it do it.

09:12, Today: Spike Breakdown rolled 4 successes using 7d6 with the Shadowrun 4th ed system with a target of 5 ((1,5,2,6,5,5,3)).

OOC: As far as you can tell, there's nothing running silent in the area.  With the extra successes, I'll drop back and answer a couple of other questions you'd asked.  The ork's commlink looks like an Erika Elite (DR4).  The icon for the gun looks like a Colt America L36.

What now, folks?

Mustang heads to the meetup point in the same outfit as before. He looks at Spike as he asks the question. “If the ork is still watching, so I need to take him out? Is anybody able to hack his communications or establish the frequency of when he calls other people? Is there night security we are going to have to bluff our way past in the yard or we subduing them as we go? I’m fine with most options and with my speed can pick up the rear once everyone is inside.”

Valerie smiles at Mustang's comments to Spike, "I suggest we try to fool the ork into thinking that nothing is wrong, as we go about our efforts. Bluffing our way past in the yard, as well as inside, by using the uniforms, along with some stealth and misdirection, will allow us to be more thorough and make fewer mistakes."

Mustang thought about it and decided she was right to be as quiet as possible before things get loud. “I’ll grab a duffle bag then to sneak my bow and arrows in. Have we figured out if we need badge access or retinal scans to get into any of the areas?”

Valerie had been thinking about infiltration into the compound since Ms. Roberts had first presented the job. "I don't know if my Computer and Matrix Skills will be able to assist us, but I also have a diverse set of skills with locks that I can try as well."

Spike keeps an eye on his drone feed a he talks to the rest of the group. He seems to sort of lose track of people as he talks and starts paying attention to the drone more then the conversation. "I don't think we need to do anything about the Ork at the moment. If he dashes for the door at some point I can shoot... eh issue him a warning to stay away for his safety? We can just go in out of his sight, right?"

OOC: We can right?

OOC:  Your meeting place was a Stuffer Shack a couple kilometers from the Gaeatronics power station, closer to the back of the power station than the front.

Spike, the ork is watching the front door, but if you're going in the back, which I think was the plan, you'll be out of his sight.  Depending on where he is looking at the time, he might barely be able to see the gate into the fenced area from his bench.  Is your drone just keeping station where you can watch him?

IC: People had started to trickle into the meeting place.  It shouldn't take long for everybody to get together.  To anyone who checked, the coveralls looked like a decent match, even without the logos, and hopefully they wouldn't need to stand up to any detailed observation.

Mustang packed his helmet, Monosword, collapsed bow, and arrows into a plain black duffle bag slung over his shoulder. The saffire knife was tucked into the side of his right boot. “Ready to go whenever you all are.”

Did we get anything else useful to help this infiltration or are we just going to have to wing it some?

Valerie adjusted her fanny pack, containing her Lockpicking gear. She nodded at Miyako, "I think we'll be fine. You can I can both talk our way in and then back out."

"I kinda hope something goes sideways. I dont want to end up only contributing with a run for lunch here." Carver said with a shrug, before straightening her knitted beanie.

An Ares Roadmaster Armored Transport pulls up in front of the Stuffer Shack. The window rolls down and Spike's modulated voice comes through the speakers "Hop in chummers, should be room for everyone." Then over the the group voice channel "It wasn't far so I could deploy from base. I'll have eyes on the building exterior and if you need me on the inside I have a couple friends that can help."

When the doors to the APC open it's empty save for an Ares Dualist in one of the seats and a Steel Lynx, with a very large gun mounted to it's back, crammed into the rear.

High above Spike's body lies unconscious inside a VTOL powered flying coffin. His numerous roto drones have started a stealthy migration towards the target, trying to keep a low profile by sticking to the tops of buildings rather than simply plowing down the street.

OOC:
Noizquito will keep an eye on the orc until everyone arrives and it might be needed to scout.
MCT-Nissan Roto-drones I'll end up stationing on the highest-lowest security rooftops around the building. They are mostly just hiding and watching until they are needed at this point.
Dualist and Lynx will probably only be deployed if things go sideways or there is a way to back the APC up to the building.
Me in my Dustoff will be parked on a rooftop keeping out of sight but hopefully close enough to the rest of the drone swarm to not have too much noise.
Everything is running silent.
