Re: Planning, Plotting, and Scheming
Not to belittle the game, but I've never seen any game in any system last long enough for you to afford the Fairlight Excalibur. There might be a mission where we steal one, but there's a reason why it's got that name - thing's a legendary artifact and you can count yourself lucky if you've ever seen one.
It appears she really doesn't care about our contact network, which was what I was fretting over. Dead contacts are a serious loss of investment in-game and can cripple you.
While St. V is tracking down somewhere safe, Toombs will do an astral sweep. If PB is ok with it, I know there are a few Awakened clubs in the area (according to errata) that I can rent out a warded back room to leave my meat while I go a-wanderin. Unless Copperhead wants to mention that she's a rigger, in which case I can just leave myself buckled in while she waits in the van.
We do have a map and a general location, hai?
As far as entry is concerned, we have a few options. We've got the ninja route, package delivery, corpsec, and janitors. Of all of those, Corpsec is the one most likely to have unquestioned access to the server room (unless we can somehow swing server maintenance as a cover). UPS gives us ready access to a disposable vehicle (though we'd have to steal one first, just like old times).
And of course, St.V would look the least out of place as corpsec or janitors, & the party as a whole would probably look the least suspicious to assensing as corpsec... But that said, it would be the hardest to spoof.
St.V, if you can swing that temporary hideaway, that would be great.
Noruas, if you have the chops to do some background investigation for building plans and subcontractors, that would be (I think) our best investment of your skills at the moment.
Toombs isn't willing to try to push for more cash. If we find we need some more gear, that might be worth asking for later. While I like the idea of getting free radios with broadcast encryption, if this is a setup then they would be... problematic.
Of course we could ask for radios and refrain from using them until our next job. But otherwise I'm not going to push for more without a very specific grocery list and a clear & present need - because the easiest way to guarantee that your J isn't going to pay you is to make the pay more expensive than the Cleaner.
