[ Just to double-check on where everyone else is: Amyah and I are close by one of the entrances, Konrad is in the SUV, and Impi is lurking about somewhere separate from all of us, correct? Assuming so... ] [ Konrad, go ahead and drive up to the trailer lot, aim close to Bo Ryan's trailer. Impi, head in through the entrance where we just got blocked *marker pings on the map*, Amyah and I will loop back to the pits and go in through that side, and we all go into the trailer lot about the same time. Act in a rush to get the paperwork signed, make it sound like if we don't get signatures Team Coke will lose our sponsorship. We will all meet up at Bo Ryan's trailer. Try not to do any damage to him that will be visible tomorrow, we still need this clown reasonably intact to deliver the chips to the racers. Everyone sound off when you're in position! ] Eddie hustles up to Amyah, chiding her for flirting with anything even remotely attractive, saying things like, "I know I haven't been able to pay as much attention to you as you deserve, but would you please not trouble the good race crew?" while in full view of the security guards. He then offers her his arm as they head back to the pits and around to that entrance to the trailer lot.
Ok my Analysis is only 10 so I'm going to burn a Momentum to try ensure I get the D2 First roll = 18 second = 18 pfff no good. Pretty bad rolls
[Momentum: 7, Heat: 12] The Racecourse With their fake invites the team is able to bypass the security teams with ease. Following the map dug up by Impi finding Bo Ryan's trailer is easy. It's even hard to miss being a home on wheels compared to the transport trailers that surround it. The only issue though is the two CSU agents guarding it. They seem to have the door to the trailer covered but there's a few windows that they don't have any eyes on. M&Q Community Services Branch Impi goes over his usual checklist for checking for ice or over hidden threats before making a connection. He doesn't spot any. [Time to pick a node to enter if you want to gain access.]
[ what the hell? Damn, we're also going to have to search his place and see if all the regulation chips are kept there. Which means we need to take Bo Ryan silently in order to have time to search the place. Otherwise, I don't understand why there are CSUs guarding the place. Leaving from the track is definitely going to be noisy unless we manage to completely cold-cock Bo and escape back out a window. I'm going to need a floorplan of the trailer so I can decide which window to sneak in through. ] [ what were the hours at Mister Chao's place? If it's only 5pm-ish, it's probably way before he would expect us to come back. ]
[CORPORATE SECURITY. . .?? What the Hellish Horrors of Taut !! Apophys, Ammitt and Seth are arrayed against Us all !!! What Crimes I committed against Ma'At in My previous life to be faced with those continues hindrances. . .!! . . . . . I'm SERIOUSLY miffed by the LEVEL of the Opposition. . . Make the command, Oh Great Team Leader Eddie. . . . .and I go take My trusty "Matulid AK-60" Armor-Piercing Rifle. . . . .take place in a nice, shadowed rooftop. . . . .and bust their brains with good, old Haqqislamite 7,62mm. Cased F.M.J. Ammo !!] . . . . . Amyah is PRACTICALLY fuming with repressed anger and barely-contained bloodthirsty rage !! Probably being a FORMER timid, mousy and unimpressive Lab-Rat Teen that suddendly turned "High Fashion Supermodel", with PROSCRIBED Gene-Engineering, has not done overmuch to help Her emotive swings. . . Being rebuked in Her seduction attempts by Mr. Bo Ryan surely had NOT improved a dark mood that started with the near-debacle with the powerful Bosozuke Biker Goons !! There are SURELY more subtle manners of overcoming that opposition than employing vintage Bourakite Assault Rifles to sniper-shot C.S.U. heads, but. . .at the moment. . . the gorgeous, tattoed and bodacious Special Forces Medic does NOT see them !!!
[Impi will enter the Lobby zone first - also keeping an eye and an ear on Eddie, Konrad and Amyaah. Can I just confirm exactly what I need to be doing? I know Saito needs a cover ID set up but not sure what he needs to do exactly]
[ I really don't want to start doing loud things here, Amyah, though we might have to shoot our way out. ] [ What I want to do is sneak in, knock Bo Ryan out cold without alerting the guards, search his place to see if the Regulation Chips are held there, and if they are do a check of all the chips. 'One of these chips is not like the others, Mister Ryan. You have some serious explaining to do.' ]
[Yeah, right Boss ! Your cool-headedness is wiser. . . After all in the Moderators You were "Undercover Veteran Officer" while I was the weird Haqqislamite Expat that liked more to treat Corpses, either Cold or Lukewarm, rather than breathing people !! . . . . . Let's say, Konrad, if I'm not mistaken You have some Stun-Slug Shells for Your Boarding Shotgun. . .?? Care to share some of those Nonlethal Nasties, at least to fill ONE Reload for My Yungang Sawed-Off. . . . .??? So we could do some Offensive Options that will NOT enrage too much our nice, friendly Jade-Dragon Judge-Dee Pals. . .]
[No problem to share with such a nice Lady, Miss Amaya. But why should we limit ourself to only Mister Bo Ryan? Why dont we forge a complete diversion and take the whole trailer? We just need something to get the attention from everyone else so noone is looking for Mister Ryan and his Trailer. We got a pair of smoke grenades in the bag if we place them somewhere away from the trailer we will have firefighters and everyone here looking for whats going on. That could be our time to snag up the CSUs and the trailer leaving the track for the safety of is owner. We just need to keep a bit out of sight for this]
[You're looking to gain access to the branch's servers. That is the place you'd find stuff like employee records and such. However, to do any editing you need admin access. To do that you'll need to gain access to an admin node. The servers and the admin node are probably well protected.]
[ I'm not fast enough to take both CSUs without shooting one, how quiet is your long gun, Amyah? ] [ Seriously, how much does the suppressor dampen the sound of a shot in game terms? ]
[Well, as You know well, Eddie, ANYTHING of the Old Brass-Cased Ammunition employed by "Vintage Primitives" like the Ariadnan Guns or selected rugged weaponry of My Homeland, Bourak, is very, Very, VERY difficult to dampen when larger than 10mm. / Cal.45 ACP. . . The Silenced S.M.G. employed by Moderator S.W.A.T. Teams that You are quite proficient of were about that comparable "Hitech Calibers" much like Your Silenced Armor Piercing Sidearm; unfortunatley the Caliber of My Haqqislamite Rifle is a revision of the old, venerable Russian 7,62mm. employed in the Avtomat Kalashnikova serie of "Stone Age Weapons". . . Is a "Special Forces Issue" weapon further modified from the run-of-the-mill Longarm of the "Sword of the Prophet" Armed Force and, indeed, a long suppressor is swerved on the barrell, but, while PERFECT for a Hunzakut Marksman or a Touareg Sniper to confuse spotters as the sound is muffled by the wide, arid plains of My Planet, here in this "Hyperpower Supertech" Environment would be difficult to totally muddle the waters. . . But SHOULD we time the firing with a Trigger-Prime explosion on the Smoke Grenades of Konrad, then EVEN those detonations would be quite difficult to pinpoint and check. . . Also our awesome "Human-Edger Space-Pirate" is a better crack-shot than Me; maybe we could exchange Longarms, and while He snipers from a rooftop I "Charge" with his nice Boarding Shotgun and, if Impi is with us, could employ My Sawed-Off Light Shotgun, STILL loaded with Stun Shells too, to overcome Non-Lethally any kind of opposition. . . As for You, Eddie, I remember You taking down that Steroid-Filled Ram-Pupnik "Attack Dog", in that Illegal Chimera Pit, with a few precise Karate Chops to Vitals, so whatever You could NOT "Legshot" with that A.P. Handgun of Yours (such as Our Target, the "Esteemed" Mr. Ryan) SHOULD be able to be overcomed quickly. . . I WARMLY recommend that Impi join us Two, Eddie, while Konrad could snipe perched from where is parked our Van nearby; not ONLY another "Gunbarrell" will be precious, but neutering Comlog Alerts and Geist Alarm Request of Security and Target could be tantamount fundamental. . . Also if Mr. Ryan keep some compromising evidence in the Trailer, such as a Regulation Chip Overwriter-Burner, then Impi will be the best shot at quite decipher anything, separating useless chaff from good intel. . . . . . . . If We go for the Assault Route, then I will ask for some seconds to change from this flashy "Pseudodalisque Attire" into My Medium Infantry Armour; it was My Old Uniform from the Haqqislamite Special Forces, but shorn of compromising Insignia and repainted a far darker shade of Olive-Brown for Night Desert Ops. . . It come with a Fully Enclosed Kevlar Beret and Facemask, Hafza-Styled, so that will help further disguise us. . .and I recommend some tied scarf for anyone that is not able to change quickly. . . Also speaking of disguises. . . I know how to do effective, but comfortable, Haqqislamite Styled headscarves (or "Tuareg Ninjas" as they are often misnomed) for anyone; could confuse further the issues, maybe if We employ House Colours of one of the Silk Lords present. . . . . . . . Ah, and while I disrobe, and change, I STRICTLY do NOT want Privacy; You could peek as much as You want !!! I will find very comforting some Male Attention after being so callously dumped by "Mister-Not-Interested" !!!!!] . . . . . And with that last statement (accompanied by a Wink of her long eyelashes) was done in a flirty, bubbly tone, after clipped, precise "Wetwork Black Ops" tactical recommendation, then Amyah was back to Her gregarious old self, after before being PRACTICALLY "Berserkly Frothing At The Mouth" and asking for Bloodshed and Ultra-Violence; being Former Army Elite often had some repercussions, such as being happy and excited at the prospect of a sort of Action planned. . . . . . . . [About the Silencing / Suppressing Bonuses of ACTUALLY swerving an External Sound-Suppressor to the Muzzle Brake of a Firearm, I checked thoroughly the Gear Section of the R.P.G. Manuals of Ariadna and Haqqislam. . . Being comparatively "Low Tech Factions" (at least for Bourak, what they produced on their own, and is NOT Top Tier "Genetech Silk Byproducts") is relatively "Vintage" if compared to what they BUY from other Faction Surplus Stores. . . I purposefully say "Swerved Suppressor" because Amyah's Rifle is a GENERIC "Special Forces A.P. Rifle" and I asked to @Solodice that She had it customized for Marksmanship; is essentially an Haqqislamite A.K.74 with Fore-Handgrip + Lasersight, External Light, Marksman "Analogic" Scope, Sniper Bipod AND a Suppressor; I imagine that more modern Hyperpower Sniper Weapons are BUILT with a Long Silencer, such as the Pan-Oceanian Multi-Snipergun that SEEMS one of those WEIRD "Light Barrett Rifles" with a Suppressor of HALF a Meter long. . .!!! A TOTALLY Silenced Light Pistol, chambered in smal calibers such as 9mm. Parabellum or 10mm. / .45 ACP (such as is the typical caliber of a "Small Long Arm" such as the Built-In Silencer of Heckler & Koch MP5SDK, worldwide employed by Special Forces in Black Ops) APPEARS to have SUBTLE 2 as a Gun Special Effect. . . Larger Calibers, such as Suppressor for Big Rifles, APPEARS to have SUBTLE 1, or even 0 at all. . . It is a Gamemaster Call, but Infinity Suppressors and Silencers are a complicate issue; the Handcannon Revolver of Knauf of the Outrage Comic is APPARENTLY able to JUST swerve a Tiny Silencer on the barrell mouth, as it shoots "Hyperpowers Enclosed-Chamber Caseless Ammo" (inspired perhaps by Deus-Ex Videogame Revolver, the "Mustang Arms Diamondback .357" )]
The Racetrack [Meeting with Chao is when the Piranha Mart closes. So 9 PM.] [As for suppressors I'll treat them more like they do in the real world. They lower the dB of the guns and can make them sound something that isn't a gunshot. They are not Hollywood suppressors though.] This being a trailer lot Konrad notes a ton of semi-trucks as well. Most have team brands plastered all over them but some also belong to the Human Sphere Grand Prix (if Konrad was looking for something more inconspicuous). M&Q Community Service Branch Impi gains immediate access to the Staffs comlogs without any issues... he must of found the right hole in the quantronic network. Now he's in the belly of the beast and can see the whole network now. [Give me another D2 Analysis, @sonicReducer]
Ok seeing as last time I burnt a Momentum and it was for nothing I'll just roll this time without first roll = 3 second roll = 11 So just the one success. I feel like Impi is missing something important!
[ @Solodice . . . So is Amyah's Rifle Suppressor a "Subtle 2" (Silenced Small Caliber Guns of Ariadna and Haqqislam), "Subtle 1" (Larger Guns OR Suppressed Weapons from the same Manuals) or whatever other effect. . .??] . . . . . Silently, awaiting other Team-Mates input their ideas the gorgeous Bourakite pass the Haqqislamite Sniper-Modified Rifle to the Space Pirate, sending some "Basic Tech Specs" with Her Comlog, and asking to the Human Edger some pointers on how better use the Boarding Shotgun, a model not so hitech fortunately than Her "Desert Outrider" training could not comprehend quickly. . . After loading also the Sawed-Off Light-Shotgun, an Yiungang-Xing Type 3.2, with a single Reload from Konrad's own stash of Nonlethal Stun Shot-Shells, and giving it to Impi for any kind of possibility. . . Then, without further much ado, retrieved Her Dress Bag from the back of the van and started to QUICKLY disrobe of Her "Pseudodalisque Dress" and wear an Hafza-Styled Medium Infantry Armour of the Haqqislamite Special Forces. . . Just a hint of "Arpegè Perfume" wafted in the enclosed van, while the other members of the Investigative Squad could observe, with a VERY NEARBY perspective, how much lithe, supple and contortion-able was the Geneengineered Body of the Egyptian Beauty. . . What was a little weird and putting off was that, from near close sight, Her Greenish-Emerald Tattoos of Hyeroglyphs and Ancient Egypt Pantheon iconography SEEMED to slightly move and change; in particular the ENORMOUS "Spread-Eagle Winged Horus" on Her shoulderblades seemed ALMOST eager to take flight and attack, and the Feline-Faced Warriors on the shoulder, just above the tricipites seemed ALMOST alive and attempting to tear off from the lovely bronzed silky skin of Amyah. . . On the left shoulder there was Hanur (Evil God of War of the "Taut Pantheon", a Bully and Warmonger) while on the right there was a perfectly depicted rendition of Sekhmet (Fierce Goddess of Honourable Warfare of the "Pesedjet", the so called "Good Guys" amongst the Ancient Egypt Pantheon). . . . . . . . But probably the eyes of some of the other Van squadmates was PERHAPS magnetically drawn to the wide "Scarab of Life" tattoeed on Amyah heartbone, who JUST underscored how big Her bosom was, or MAYBE the "Scales of Ma'At" (Impersonal Avatar of Justice and Rules, above EVEN Osiris and Ra, the main Gods of the Egyptians) that were put quite down Her small-back, where usually the gorgeous "Garotas of Acontecimento" (INCREDIBLY beautiful Brazillian biosculpted beauties, OFTEN working as Escorts, Supermodels and even Mayacast Pornstars) put some sort of "Callipigyan Tribal". . . . . . . . While She was seriously and professionally putting in place the Extra Neo-Kevlar plates on the vital spots of the baggy Bodysuit (that was of a rough, coarse, but very robust "Hyper-Flak" made with Haqqislamite Biofabric) if someon (or ALL !!!!!) of the Male Team-Mates would have "Looked" in improper parts (and the ONLY possibility would have been to stay firmly put at the windows or CLOSING shut the eyes) then a playfully wink would have been "Gifted" by the incredibly long eyelashes and Deep Bluish eyes of Amyah. . . . . . . . It was as like those "Virtual Beauty Avatars" of Maya and Arachne saying "Would You Like To Know MORE ???". . . . .
[ I still need a floorplan of the trailer, so I can plot how to get inside without alerting Mister Ryan to my presence, and then knock him out with a sleeper hold or equivalent. Too bad there's no such thing as a Ghost in the Shell Cyberlock in Infinity... Actually, I should be able to find that myself, no hacking required, even if this is what they call a Manufactured Home in the US and not a Winnebago. ] So, Eddie is going to take a minute to look up the maker's Maya site to find a floorplan of Bo Ryan's trailer.
[ @Section9 . . . While a FULLY FUNCTIONAL Cyberlock like the ones of "Stand Alone Complex" or the "Innocence" Movie are smacking of SEPSITOR-Level kind of tech, if You have a DIRECT link from Your Comlog+Geist to the one of Impi AND the one of a blocked Bo Ryan then some kind of "No Alarm" and "No Recording" scrambling could be POSSIBLY done. . . Maybe it could be done if a sort of "USB Wire" is wired directly from Comlog to Comlog. . .] . . . . . Sensing that Eddie want to try to enter unannounced and with the stealthy camo of an Apex Feline Alpha Predator, then Amyah finished changing in Her armoured attire, but stayed INSIDE the Van; only WHEN (hopefully NEVER) the graceful lethal Chimera SHOULD have been discovered then She would have charged like the "Cataprhacts" Heavy Cavalry of Sultan Suleyman. . . Tensed and ready, She looked with an eager mischief at Her Team Mates; there was an hint of Aroused Excitation in her beautiful, but eerie "Almost Glowing Eyes" with an impossible bluish colour like the "Azure Gold" of Ancient Egyptian Jewelry. . . Probably in Her slightly disturbed mindset Sex AND War were going hand-in-hand, and "Horus The Falcon-Avenger" went along with "Hathor The Love Cow". . . . .!!!
[Amyah's rifle has subtle 1.] The Racetrack Eddie does a quick look up on the model of the trailer and comes up with some schematics. [White spaces represent windows.] M&Q Community Services Branch Impi is able to garner so more info on the quantronic network he's just connected himself to. He's having a hell of time though seeing the defenses or the firewalls of the secured zones though.
[ Let's try to get this moving a bit. ] Eddie listens at the window in the bedroom in the back (top of the picture) for a bit, to figure out where Mister Ryan is in the trailer. [ Awareness is 12 with 2 Focus, 3 and 12 on the dice for 2x Successes. ] As long as Mister Ryan is not in the back bedroom, Eddie readies his Modhand buzzknucks and checks the window for alarms. [ Thievery is 12 with 2 focus, 3 and 15 on the dice but Eddie has the Thief talent so he can reroll that 15 for an 11 and 2x Successes. ] And then slides through the window. [ Stealth is 13 with 1 Focus, 3 and 6 on the dice for 2x Successes ]
