[OOC]
1. Nobody comes into the office space while you are there.  You only had to cover one camera and have the blinds drawn.
2. You were able to add the device to the PC.
This took maybe 5 minutes to do.

Next move?

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 63):

The Doctor checks via his phone that the alteration has taken place. Once the app on his phone confirms that Butters and his assistants emails are accessible, he makes sure he gets a copy of any email made by ether computer.

He can start reviewing past emails by just downloading the data. In the future, Butters emails should be duplicated and downloaded remotely. Once it set up, he could leave.

[OOC]
Neither machine is logged in currently.  But, you can pull down their archive files (Outlook PST files), which are kept locally.  Butters has one file for 6 GB.  Taft has three years of files, each about 1.5 GB each.  You have no issues with scripting the forwarding of the emails from their accounts to offsite.  The email should start to flow when they connect tomorrow unnoticed by them.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 65):

The Doctor will take a copy of the files, and then wait for Butters and his employee to log on tomorrow. Once his work is done he will be heading back to the HQ to check on Emily.

You make it back to HQ without any issues; everything is normal.  You find Emily bent over a microscope with music playing in the background.  When Emily sees you, "Hey...where have you been?"

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 67):

"Following up on a possible lead." He said. Then he described his evening in detail. "What about you? Any progress?"

She launches into a discussion on how she thinks she was wrong on the combination of metals in the last attempt and that she will need at least a month to figure out how off she was and that she may need a few odd items.  "And, as some time, we'll need to start taking vitamins.  I know...I know...absorption...but I'm wondering if we are coming up short on stuff being down here all the time.  We do need the sun for vitamin D."

She turns down the music and she calls you over to look at what she was looking at in the microscope.

***

The next morning, about 6:40 AM, emails from Taft begin to flow.  The emails for Butters begin to flow at about 7:30 AM.  At around 8 AM, they stop; from both.  A total of 30 emails were collected.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 69):

The doctor sighed, after seeing the lack of emails. He was no full time hacker, but at least he got a entire copy of the database he could shift through. The temptation was to follow Butters home, drag him away and make him tell all the passwords the Doctor needed.

However, as much he hated the company the man worked for, he was not ready to go down that road quite yet. Maybe after a few more months of living like this...but not now.

In any case, he had uploaded the files to a remote website. Even if they tracked back his signal, he made sure to leave no digital fingerprints to reveal his lairs location. It was just one website which only he had access to, and he would make sure to delete it and take all the files he needed.

Of course, once he searched through that treasure trove, he would start releasing any particularly juicy bits to the press. Like many powerful corporations, Cheneycorp kept it's true intentions behind closed doors and private emails.

The doctor had no regard for the lawful collection of evidence, so he was sure Butters had seen or said soemthing in those emials that would help him, and damage them.

After cleaning up and going through the emails in the PST files, you find two items.

A) Emails about the shipment to NJ seems to in code.  There is no reference to what is in the loads, but references about 'the package' and 'contact Santa when you get there'.  It is odd, in a corporate email.  And why is he sending this and worried about the shipment?

B) You find emails with an Alexa Moris-Thompson, the AVP of Security.  They have been discussion outsourcing security for a few locations.  One of the names for agencies rings a bell; Meta Specialists Inc.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 71):

OOC-Do I have the location and time of the next shipment of whatever is being sent?

What do I know about Meta Specialists?

[OOC]
Yes, the details are in the emails.

MSI - You know that they are some type of meta "hiring" agency; they have been connected to some questionable incidents as they have been used as mercenaries. It has been in the news and some law makers have raised concerns.  But, very little has come from the accusations leveled against them.  Not government affiliated....

The doctor prepares to be there when the next shipment comes in. He will make sure Emily would be ready to stay in contact with him in case he needed real time info. However, she would not be at risk 'in the field'. For now, he was still gathering info. They where up to something, and he may have to put his search for a cure off in order to stop them...

[OOC]  You want to be on-site for when the shipment is leaving the Chicago location?

What are you using to keep in contact with Emily?  How is she receiving real-time information?

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 75):

OOC-Yes, I want to be on site.

I most likely use a burner phone in case someone tries to track my calls. My old cell and Emily's have been gotten rid of. I would also use my gadgetry to make my burner harder to trace.

[OOC] Skipping ahead to the night of the shipment as the between days are calm.  Feel free to fill in any details you wish.

[IC]
On the evening of the shipment, a quick buzz around the place shows that it is packed with people.  And a lot more security (although not in the same uniform, they all are in uniforms).  A tanker and two box trailers are lined up and are in some process of being loaded.  There are 500 gal tanks being loaded into the box trailers.  There are various people walking around and watching the process, checking off lists (some have tablets and others have paper/clip-boards) and monitoring various gauges.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 77):

In his tiny spider-fly form, the Doctor moves about the trailers. He pesters a few as a mere bug, but only in order to get a glimpse of the clipbords, tablets, and gauges to find out what is being moved. Not to mention listening in on conversations.

[IC] You are swatted at a few times, but nobody comes close to actually hitting you.

[OOC]
A) You get that all of this load is going to the New Jersey location.
B) The quantities are huge, as some of these chemicals are rather expensive.
C) A few of the chemicals are what you would use, but the quantities much larger than what you would need in five years.
D) Things will be loaded in approximately 30 minutes.
F) You over hear one of the security guards say, "When does escort get here?"  Another responds with, "ETA on escort team is 15 minutes.  On schedule."
G) The security is not the standard 'rent-a-cop' type; these are more professional and packing more heat.  There are some, but they are not near the loads or monitoring the loads.  They are in other areas of the plant and watching the gate.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 79):

The doctor will examine the crates, checking each crate for its chemical contents. He would need to figure out what the corporation would be trying to do with each substance later, and possible mixing. However, he can leave a tracking device on the crates so he could find them later if they make off with them. He might actually just go with said crates and then explore this hidden warehouse with the advantage of being on the inside.

[OOC]  According to all of the paperwork that you have seen, everything is bound for New Jersey.  I would need to know what design of any tracking device or you will need to be prepared for a long ride.

It is not a problem to compare the packing lists, shipping labels and keep a general idea of what and quantities are currently (no roll needed...INT is high enough).  This, at your size, takes maybe 10 minutes.

[IC] The all of the loading goes as planned.  As time to leave starts to draw closer, the 'premium' security in the area draws a tighter circle around the trailers.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 81):

OOC-for now I will hold off on the tracking device. I will just move with the cargo as a bug, and wait until I am alone with the stuff to do something. I will be observing(as in the subskill) the security so I can tell what I may have to deal with in the future.

At exactly as expected, the trucks finish loading, and a small convoy of four black Humvee roll into the industrial park.  One stops outside the gate and turns around.  Three pull in at the back and among the trucks, turning around as the do so.  The few security people that step out are matching the 'premium' security in garb and weaponry.  There are three new people per Humvee.  Then then start a process of securing each truck and passing the paperwork over.  This takes about 10 minutes.  Once done, the trucks start to roll.

[OOC] Fill me in on where, what and how you are doing things.  It is now 1 AM approximately.  The night is clear.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 83):

Still in his bug form, the doctor moves to the outside of the crate. He will observe what is in the back of the truck, making sure he is alone and no video cameras are watching the chemicals. If there where guards or the chemical barrels where visible to the rest of the Humvee convoy, he could not change back to his humanoid form without detection.

[OOC] There are no cameras that you see on or in any truck trailer.  The two closed trucks will be locked from the outside and they are starting that process now.  You can be inside the trailer and not be seen.  It will be locked, but in your form, you can get in and out (the trailers are not air tight).  The chemicals are secured to the walls by straps and/or bars, to prevent movement.  This also allows an average sized person to move around them without much difficulty.

[Private to Dr Chimera: It may be time to move to a new thread...you are no longer 'at home'.  Your call.]

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 85):

OOC-Ready to move to a new thread. Sorry I am not available as often. Will try to do better.

In reply to Dr Chimera (msg # 86):

Not an issue, this is PbP. New post opened....
