[OOC]
Chaneycorp has a few facilities in Chicago, and two do store chemicals.  A third is a corporate office building.  A forth is a logistics facility (there could be any number if things there as trucks come and go constantly). They also have a chemical manufacturing site in the way south suburbans (next is corn field).  It is a subsidiary called Iovite Chemical, in Richton Park.

What is in any one location is unknown. Other companies and locations are currently unknown.

He starts with the closest warehouse. He will...'case the joint' as the parlance says. Moving around in one of his tinier forms to get a idea of the amount of guards at night. Then he could use some of his own tech to hack into their security systems and find out what they have. Once he knew what he wanted, where it was, and how to get it out and back to the HQ. That all depended on how much security there was and how many human guards there where...

OOC-Using Omni Gadget to hack into security system...

[OOC] Give me an idea of the following items.
- When are you going (immediately or in a few days)?  How much time will you spend there?
- What form will you use?  Size?
- Do you do anything about the false identity for now?
- You are watching the following (some assumptions made)...but what else?
  * Security guards
  * Trucks
  * Fence and gate details

There are a few warehouses and some small office temporary buildings.  To help set an idea of the location...

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 15):



ooc: The doc will spend a day or two just observing. He should be able to get inside and just move about in his hybrid spider wasp form. Which is the size of a wasp(shrinking 11 or 12...maybe 13.)

Because he need to be in his humanoid state to use his gadgets, he will make sure there is no risk of detection when that happens.

In addition to observing the above people and things you suggested, he will also check any online activity involving the warehouse in question. He will do some hacking in regards to the place.

Once he cases the security lay out, he can build some gadgets back in the lab specially for this security situation in mind.

While back at HQ doing his other tasks involving the theft, he will work on Emily's fake ID via online credentials.

You fly through the facility attracting little to no notice.  At your size, and the whole area open to the environment, you find you are not the only insect.

You find or observe the following things.
1. Guards are in two hour shifts at the gates and the front of two interior buildings; a long 'storage' building and one office building.
2. Trucks come and go often.  The busiest time seems to be 10 AM/PM.  There are multiple depots that they go to within the facility.  There are UPS, FedEx and USPS trucks and vans throughout the day.
3. Upon entering the storage building, you find boxes, drums and interior glass-walled office (two people through much of the 24 hours); independent air and two computers.
4. The office buildings has multiple office and multiple computers.  Only one has guards at the front door.  The rear door has no handle.
5. The fence is chain link and barbed wire.  It is not electrified.  There are multiple cameras.  The guard shack at the front gate does have CCTVs.  The facility is well lit at night.
6. An Internet search does locate the facility, but you are not sure based on what intranet applications (very few; sales request, location information, technical requests, logistics requests) you find you'll be able to jump to the facility from their online presence.
7. You do notice that all the buildings have electrical, gas, and phone junction boxes.  On the roof of each is a set of antennae and dishes.

[OOC] If you want more details about any one thing, you will need to spend more time and make a few simple rolls.

OOC-find security office, put a hidden camera in there and record standard security measures including passwords. Then use computer passwords to hack into the system and see if I can't set up a link into the cameras and other computer controls. once that is set up, I can plan to move chemical out by setting up a fake camera feed, thus the guards wont know anything is going on.

[OOC] Give me some details on the device you will place in the security office.  There are the monitors at the front gate, and one in the office building; which one or both?

I should have noted that there are two 'rear' gates to the facility.  Both are locked (chained) and have tire rippers for anything coming in.

I updated my previous post to correct one typo and add a details to the internal office in the storage building.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 19):

Ooc-i will be constructed two devices. One will be a hidden camera with sound recording options. The other will be an extra chip installed into the computer they are using. Thus allowing me a backdoor past thier firewalls. Once they imput standard security options, I will be able to see the codes and record them talking about it. The physical modification to thier computer will allow me to hack into the database and download all the information about this place.

[OOC]  I tossed around what these bots would be and what their stats would be, but then I realized it really is not a big deal here and my thinking about it was getting in the way of the game.  So, let me say, if we are RPing and something like this doesn't/shouldn't cause a problem or have some limit on it, I don't sweat the small stuff.  I want to play and not pick nits.  I did make a few rolls to give me an idea on the time things take and IF anybody got a great observation roll.

[IC]
After a time and a movement in the placement the next night, you capture several passwords.  They have complex password requirements and a few people have multi-factor authentication...but not all.  You are able to capture the passwords for a few people that have access to the CCTV (security gate), a report system, and general PC access for a few people (none of them have local administrator access).  On day 2.5, your 'access bug' does allow you in and move latterly through the network from workstation to workstation. You do find that you hit a firewall or something whenever you test a server.  Their security is enterprise level.

[OOC] To avoid setting off alarms, I'll need 2 successfully computer hacking attempts, prior to 3 failures.  OV/RV - 7/7  If you decide to attack the servers or the inventory database, the OV/RV moves to 8/8.

I'll use a sliding scale (how poorly you fail tells me how the response goes).  Sound good?

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 21):

ooc-i rolled on my gadgetry skill of 9, but I realized my omni gadget was 11, so most likely I would roll on that if I could.

08:51, Today: Dr Chimera rolled 10 using 2d10 with rolls of 4,6.  Gadgetry  9 vs ov/rv of 8/8.

08:51, Today: Dr Chimera rolled 11 using 2d10 with rolls of 2,9.  Gadgetry  9 vs ov/rv of 8/8.

08:51, Today: Dr Chimera rolled 8 using 2d10 with rolls of 7,1.  Gadgetry  9 vs ov/rv of 8/8.

[OOC] The first two rolls were successful, giving you 3 & 4 raps.  If we want to use the points of the gadgets, we would need to place the points.  You succeeded, and it will yield some information.  If you choose to use the points of omni-gadget, get me the gadgets stats and re-roll.  Your call.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 23):

Ooc-i would stick with my skill rolls for now. I suppose I could use my omni gadget for rank 11 electrical control limited to computers, but I will hold off and just stick with skills.

[OOC] - You gain the following items.
  - Access into reports on current inventory and schedules.
  - Access into reports on fall projections.
  - Access to reports on incoming raw inventory.
  - Access to maintenance reports and schedules.
  - Access to schedules and time reports for the hourly personnel.
  - Full access to the CCTV system from the guard shack.  It was is not connected to the Internet, so you will need to manipulate that system separate from others.
  - You have full access (local admin) to five PCs; two in the guard shack (but they control the gate and CCTV, these are connected locally only), one PC of a shift manager and two PCs of sales department.

As far as you can tell, you have not been detected.  Tell me what you are looking for and I'll make rolls to see what you find.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 25):

Ooc-looking primarily for the chemical inventory which is why I am doing all this in the first place. If there happens to be evidence of a massive crime that Cheneycorp is guilty of that would be great! Not counting on finding anything that easy however.

Upon review, you see the inventory report shows that they have much of what you need on-hand.  One item will be a few days from now.  The shipping schedule shows that if you don't move in two days, you will lose half of what you need.  The last item will be available then.

[OOC] Sorry...no major crimes found here.  But you do find a few emails from the Shift Manger to a woman.  The language is NSFW and reciprocated.  Give me a roll of INT vs OV/RP of 6.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 27):

ooc-11:44, Today: Dr Chimera rolled 10 using 2d10.  Int 9 vs 6/6.

Result of Roll - While going over the numbers, you see that the quantities are rather large for some of the rarer chemicals and they all seem to be going to another facility.  This facility, out near O'Hare, is not one that was on your radar before.  A few of the chemicals are the same as you are using, but some are not.  But, why so much is need is unknown based on what you find here.  These quantities could be rather dangerous; toxic and/or explosive.

You also note that the shipping is happening the same night you would need to be here to gather your supplies.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 29):

At least he found out before the shipment happened. While his preparation here might be wasted, the O'hare warehouse might be precisely what he had been looking for. A Chaneycorp facility off the books. Thier literally could be a treasure trove of chemicals...and maybe even the crown jewels. Actual evidence of wrongdoing by the board of directors.

He had always been torn on what to do about them. He had wanted to murder them all...but that would not sit right with Emily. Not to mention he had never killed anyone before.

Of course...that was when he had been human. Doctor Simon Feck was no killer...but Dr Chimera? He had animal instincts involving so much bestial rage he could literally howl at the moon in his fury.

He had to focus. Just find out what was at O' Hare. Dont get his hopes up. Follow the math, the logic, the reason of it. Animals react with passion...humans think thier way out of a trap.

[OOC]  Let me know what you are going to do and how you are going to prepare.  To confirm, you do not know what is at the other location, just that there is a shipment going there.

[Private to Dr Chimera: If you want to do a post on the fake id stuff, go ahead.  I don't want to stop you if you have an idea.]

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 31):

When he planned to go out to O'hare, he told Emily to do as much online research on the address as she could. He did not think she would find anything, but she might get lucky. Besides, if she was looking online in the lair, she would not be poking around there in person. Which would be very risky.

As for Emily's fake background and IDs, he would base them on her own history, but with enough changes to make it believable. Maybe hacking and online collage to give her some degrees. Editing the history of a now closed high school so she could not be checked. Needless to say, it would be a downgrade from the brilliant scientist Emily really was, and it made her look a bit like an under achieving researcher.

However, if she did not like the idea, Simon would point out the whole purpose was to blend in. If all he did was give her the achievements she certainly had earned, she could also be discovered as her real self.

[OOC] The fake background and IDs will take some time to do, but they will be do able (with some supplies for the physical documents).  To put everything together with actual cards and all the supplemental items mentioned would be about two weeks (research, hacking, production, etc.).  It will be a two success/three failure check (the short hand for this style of check will now be a 2/3 check), with one check per week.  You tell me what you are using to do this (skill, attribute, etc.) and I'll check into a OV/RV.

On the investigation/theft at the O'Hare facility, give me some details on how you're getting there, what you are brining (if anything), and what you expect to do when there.  I'm working on details of the facility now.

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 33):

ooc: well, for the ID I can use my Omni Gadget 11 for some elements of Emily's cover. Such as fake documents and the like. Other parts might require my hacking skills using my Gadgetry 9 or Scientist 9 skill.

As for the O'Hare warehouse I am going in with my omni gadgets and my powers. I need to get an idea of what I am dealing with so I will just go in via an insect sized form and take a look about.

[OOC] Fake ID - Using omni-gadgets for the creation of the paperwork and IDs will work.  The OV/RV will be 8/8.  This will need to be done second.  The investigation and hacking will have an OV/RV of 10/10 because of the detail and quantity of items that need to be faked.  Positive raps show success and dictate any OV/RV for an investigation into the background (hacking) or into the documents themselves (omni-gadget).  We'll need to add this to the character sheet.  Make sense?

In reply to The Game Master (msg # 35):

[OOC]  OK...there are a lot of rolls there and I think it is my fault.  I wasn't thinking that you needed to have two success for each portion of the work, but that you needed two successes total.  One would use omni-gadget (to create IDs) and the other would be for the research/hacking.  You definitely succeed, but I'll take the first two successes and you can save your HP.  Sound good?
