Knight Wolf - Things Went Well...


In the video you capture the comings and goings of Interceptor-X and Mindstrike, with Mr. Phillips and Dr. Brown (you catch name tags without an issue).  They stay for about 20 minutes in the same room you were in and then leave.  There is no sound.

The odd thing you note, is a security guard comes by and sticks around the door for a while (a few minutes).  He seems to listen in a little (or tries) and leaves.  You do not catch his name tag (on a lanyard with multiple cards...black hair, beard, average height).

Knight Wolf - Things Went Well...

OOC:

So, is this in the morning when I wake?  Or something I remembered before bed when reviewing video or something?

Is he lurking outside the door when they are there?  Or different time?

Can I get a good view of the face?  Enough for some facial recognition?  If so, would like to run it through some checks (one just to make sure he is an employee; another to see if there's any other records or info on the guy).

This is upon further review.  It was found now when you had more time and relaxed, and were with your equipment.

The camera are not HD in that area.  You can try facial recognition, but it is uncertain what you will get.  The uniform fits.

His 'lingering' was during the time they were there.  Other people had passed, with Mr. Phillips coming and going, but he is the only one to stay and get close to the door.

You did not take an employee database while there to compare against.

Knight Wolf - Things Went Well...

Plopping down into the chair, his hands began to fly over the keys.  "Curious," he muttered to himself.  It seemed he had some more work to do.

OOC:

Throwing in rolls for each, just in case you'd ask for them to help not slow things down.  If not, nevermind!

So, first thing trying to do is get a better picture of the guy enough to use.

21:26, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 14 using 2d10 ((6,8)).

Next, want to get the employee database (if possible).  And then try to match up what I have found with database.  And want to run what I have through a more general/police database.  Trying to id him.

21:29, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 10 using 2d10 ((8,2)).

You can create a better picture of the man's face.  Your starting picture was only so good, so the end result is better, but not great.

You find getting into MSI remotely is less easy than expected.  They have limited entry points and the ones you've found lead to 'public' areas.  You do find a staff directory, but it is for the leadership and scientists that are doing research.

Roll for the CPD access.

Is it enough to use facial rec with?  If not then pursuing this will need a new tact.

13:54, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 18 using 2d10 ((8,10)).

The end result is good enough to try.

Access to the CPD DB is a piece of cake.

Let me know what you are doing other than doing the facial recognition thing.

[OOC]
Description of security guard
Black hair
Black medium cut beard
Eye color indeterminate
Strong chin
Large nose
5'11"...200 pounds...build muscular
He is not carrying a gun, but he does have a flashlight and radio.

Currently, the CPD has the inventory done for the items taken.  The theft is currently being looked at as alone incident by Ghost and Diablo.  Ghost is being held downtown and Diablo was given into ATCPE custody (current location unknown).  There is a full description of the events post their leaving MSI.  The events within MSI is being put together yet (reports, video, interviews).  A rough timeline is in the file.

When you run the face of the man against the CPD database, using their system which is not advanced, you do not get a hit higher that 60%.

Getting out of the CPD database is easy.

OOC:

Can I combine information, maybe get some CCTV.  Presuming invisible person was Ghost, where was Diablo in all this mess?

Can I make a copy of their database or make a backdoor so I don't have a challenge getting access to the information next time?

Are there scans of the items stolen or just file listings?  Wondering if I can pick up any clues as to the why of the theft.

How challenging is it to gain access to be better database?

There is outside camera footage.  You do not see Diablo on the camera, but you do see a few times that camera seem to get brighter and then darker.  They are pointed down and it is a safe bet he is above their view.

For the backdoor, MSI or CPD?  Better DB for what?

The information from CPD on the stolen items is a mix of their notes, MSI's provided information and pictures, and comments from the field.  You have access to all the details of the items stolen that CPD has.

A review of the items could yield something.  It would require a roll.  Read up on Detective - Clue Analysis on page 111 for how it works best.  You're OV would be a 9-10 for a quick review (there is a lot of information here, different items, and you are going from images and their observations).  Time will reduce the OV.

CPD.  Mostly to speed up any related research I might do in the future.

I would be fine with taking more time.  Prefer to go for the type C/full clues.

14:08, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 10 using 2d10 ((1,9)).

Not sure if Sharp eye would lower my target to help me succeed.  Think that's RV?

You slow down your review of the documents and information, but don't find anything.  You feel that it is there, but you just are missing it.  You can taste it.  This research took approximately two hours.

Plotting out what to do with the CPD network and how best to put a 'backdoor' in place, you figure if you write some code and gain access to their mini (yep...they are still running an old mini...which looks to be the weakest link), you could be done in about 2-3 hours.

As you work through the facial recognition, you remember that CPD does work with SmartSearch for some of their technology needs (facial recognition, camera software).

Dean scowled, frustrated.  It was right there, he knew it.  It just continued to elude him.  However, he wasn't about to give up.  He started a couple different corollary searches to try connecting the information to other possibilities.  The two criminals were the focus of one such search; it was a fair bet this wasn't the first crime the two had perpetrated.  Possibly with the same subject mater.  The second search was about related thefts.  It seemed the two had attempted to steal the material for fun which meant a backer of some kind.  Or perhaps a string of similar robberies.  And of course he kept the search for the mystery guard going...

OOC:

So doing what stated in the IC part.  Searching for crimes the two have done.  then searching for other similar thefts.  Compared and connect the data hopefully.

Will table the backdoor until later/once this is done then.  Can at least get it done and do the access part at a later time.

Is that a separate place to search/use?  Will do that as well.

Making a bunch of rolls for you to use as needed.

1:
20:21, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 19 using 2d10 ((9,10)).

2:
20:21, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 8 using 2d10 ((4,4)).
rolled doubles so another roll...
20:21, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 8 using 2d10 ((4,4)).
rolled doubles AGAIN...
20:21, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 11 using 2d10 ((7,4)).
so... 2nd roll is actually a 27?

3:
20:22, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 11 using 2d10 ((3,8)).

OOC:

You find approximately 10 robberies that you can attribute to Diablo and Ghost.  They seem to be partners.  You either find descriptions that fit, actual pictures of Diable at the scene of the crime, or an modus operandi that fits.  Not all of their thefts match on the items there taken; they have a few thefts that were for money/jewelry only.

You find the following items when reviewing the materials.
- A Dienstleiter Brikner is the writer, receiver or subject of a high number of the documents.
- The number is too high to be a coincidence.
- Dienstleiter Brikner was a highly ranked in the Nazi political party.
- If you have been reading the items in Mindstrikes discovery, you know or can find the same on him personally.
-

Is that a separate place to search/use?  Will do that as well.  I'm not sure what you mean here.

The access to SmartSearch database would be different than accessing the CPD.  The CPD has access to the facial recognition software, but not the database, which is on the SmartSearch side of any security.  You can jump from CPD to SmartSearch, but the security is different.  It will be additional rolls.  SmartSearch manages their intranet gateways from CPD.  From what you can tell, you are looking at advanced (maybe on military grade) security.

Ah, gotcha.  Ok, while I would just do a little test/probe, it likely didn't do squat.

20:21, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 9 using 2d10 ((2,7)).

Where do the maps of the North Sea show/point to?  What is on the maps vs what is 'known' to be there?

Lastly (for now!), going to do a search to try and find a way to contact Mindstike/Rei directly?

20:27, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 13 using 2d10 ((10,3)).

You do a little 'testing' of the defenses and you find they are formidable.  If you had to guess, just short of military grade security (OV 13).  Unless I let you know differently (confirmed military grade security), we are talking about an AI, or you are actively going against another person, you will not raise alarms immediately or cause a problem (just a game note).

You do not have the maps, but know they were there.  If is not known yet if you can get a copy/image of the maps in question.

The screens flickered as information scrolled by and searches progressed.  He saved things as he went, continuing to expand on his work.  Some turned out to be of minimal use, some he was rebuffed completely.  But more often than not, his work was providing dividends.  Some rather unexpected ones as well.

Getting access to Mindstrike's, or perhaps Ms. Rousseau would be more appropriate, email wasn't that big of a challenge.  He set up the typical protocols to reroute and make the email untraceable before typing a quick message.

quote:
Ms. Rousseau,

First off, let me introduce myself.  I am a somewhat recent, at least publicly, addition to the hero roster in this city.  There was some arrests I participated in, though I did not stick around to be recognized, this evening involving a ruined car and another with a holdup who went running as well as a mugging with additional criminal connections.  The police were informed anonymously of course.  I go by the handle of Knight Wolf.  Unlike yourself, I intend to keep my personal life secret and separate from my hero identity.

Regardless, I noted your conflict with the two thieves that were apprehended after the MSI theft.  I presume you will be digging into said theft.  I have, in my own investigation, come up with some interesting clues.  Perhaps it might be advantageous to compare notes.  I am heading to investigate some new developments presently.  If and when you are available and are interested in continuing this discussion, please contact me and I can provide a more secure method of communication.  I am headed to the harbor now to see what might be found there.

Knight Wolf


Pushing away from the station, he stood and headed over to his armor and got suited up as the teleporter started powering up, targeting the harbor address he found.
