So much to do...

Dean brought up multiple screens of various data on the main panels.  He needed to do some financial work to keep the whole multifaceted corporate umbrella and all that going.  On another, he brought up the specs for the suit; he had some redesigns in mind, though they were mostly fairly minor.  On a third, Dean started a connection to start pulling some research data.

The screens start flipping by.

Mindstrike is a public hero, without a alter ego.  Her real name is Rei Rousseau and is the Vice President of Public Relations for Rousseau North America.  She has spent a lot of time in France and America.  From the public reports, she has psychic abilities and has exhibited a forcefield, flight, some type of energy blast and is proficient in martial arts.  She has recently returned to Chicago after time away in France.

Interceptor-X has been in Chicago a few years, is a speedster, and seems to be a little bit of a jokester (last year, when Chicago died the river green for St. Patrick's Day, he put riding blankets that said 'kiss me, I'm Irish' on the Art Institute lions and used window paint on The Bean to write 'Never iron a four leaf clover as you don't want to press your luck' and then stood for pictures).  He seems to be armored.  Aside from superspeed, he has exhibited leaping and the ability to take a multiple shots from assault weapons.

There is little publicly known about Ghost or Diablo.

[OOC]Information greater than this will need to be rolled for.  To get information on Ghost and Diablo, it will be 12 OV/RV (where do you start with super villains?).  Interceptor-X is like looking into Ghost/Diablo.  The information you get from researching any of the three will be limited.  There is more public information about Mindstrike (Ms. Rousseau) and the company, I just need a question to answer.

Interceptor-X is akin to the Flash (although not an omega level hero).

[OOC: Corrections on Mindstrike. She has no projection abilities known or demonstrated in any videos of her online. She can manifest telekinetic blades about a meter long that extend from her hands but has never used them on living targets on video or according to any witnesses. She is a native of France from Paris and came to Chicago when Rousseau International opened the North American branch in Chicago. Prior to this, she has only been in the U.S. for vacations, usually in NYC or LA.]

Dean drank the information in even as he furthered his own searches.  He filed it all away for his own use at a later time.  Flipping to another window, he made a few notes for his suit as an idea came to him.  On another, he brought up everything he had on the Museum; he'd been there more than a few times and had compiled quite a bit there.

Multitasking was so ineffient.  He really needed to get the AI assistance program done.

He'd make do for now. Hitting a few keys, he began the fabrication of parts he'd need for some of the suit changes.  A quick glance at the clock gave he a rough idea of how much time he had.  He'd put in a few more hours of financial work, mostly to get it out of the way for the next couple weeks.

Once he was done, he had a little field trip to take.


OOC:
Thanks Mindstrike!

Not sure what time it is atm.  Do some various work, maybe get a little sleep.  Then going to wait until after dark/place closes and then intend to go do as discussed.

[OOC]
Time is not synced with everybody (day/time do vary).  In your case, you were chasing/testing into the evening...so by the time you stop, I think Midnight or so.

Thank you for any clarifications.  I read through and grabbed things quickly, and I can/do make mistakes.

[IC]
The public data for Mindstrike fills in a few holes and gives you the picture of an attractive, young, business woman.  Although not a 'party person', pictures of he and her sister from a few major parties in Chicago are found.

Rubbing his chin absently, he figured he'd put it off long enough.  A quick excursion and maybe he could get some sleep in a few hours.  Decision made, he stood up and headed to the rack holding the suit.  While the machines worked to fit the pieces around him, he started up the transporter, inputting the coordinates.

Active stealth systems activated, Knight materialized in an unused room within MSI.  (It was mildly amusing that he could have gained access as Dean almost certainly, though it would have led to questions he most certainly did not want answered.)  He knew this place well.  More than a few tours and something of a refuge in his childhood, MSI mattered to him.  It was more than just a respect of what came before; this was a place honoring technology, it's advances and it's costs.  Knight decided that sleeping in a bit tomorrow was more than worth the trip to double check nothing was missed.

It didn't take long for him to tap into the security system.  He wasn't worried about the cameras, though his cautious and thorough nature prevailed upon him to handle those as well, but it was the fastest way to get a full update on the robbery here as well as any follow up work being done on it.  He made a mental note to work on the interface system when he had a moment (it was a rather long list in all honesty) to speed this kind of process up in the future.

He is able to see the night security come and go as he works with the security system.  They are making a few rounds and walk by the front desk area many times, but do not notice the invisible Knight Wolf.  The system is a off-the-shelf system, albeit larger than normal with so many cameras and severs.  Covering his tracks isn't an issue.

He is able to find the video from the day of the robbery and download it.  This does cover the few hallway cameras that recorded Interceptor-X and Mindstrike coming and going.

From simple observation during your walk-around, aside from memories, nothing new is seen.

[OOC]
The main reception area has everything you would need for access and is in the open, but because of the number of machines and locations, finding access in a out of plain sight location is easy.  You can walk the galleries of the main atrium without opening any gates or doors.  If you are going to go behind any secured areas, let me know.

OOC:

17:05, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 10 using 2d10 ((9,1)).

Don't think that did it.  *sigh*

I also have luck btw...I just can't recall what it does.  Won't have acess to book until tonight.

And yes, I will be going beyond the "public" areas (I was actually assuming I could just teleport back there).

[OOC: Here you go, LUCK: A Character with this Advantage is unusually fortunate. Once per adventure, the Character may invoke the Advantage and receive either -1 Column Shift to an opponent’s OV/RV or +1 Column Shift to his own OV/RV when making an Action Check. The Player may choose which of these bonuses to utilize and when to invoke the Luck Advantage.
Example: If a Player decided to invoke Luck while his lucky Character was attacking an opponent in hand-to-hand combat, the Character’s target would receive a -1 Column Shift modifier to his OV/RV for that attack. Conversely, if the lucky Character were defending against an attack, he could receive +1 Column Shift to his OV/RV for the defense.]

[OOC]
You can teleport.  You do have a general idea about a few areas that are behind the closed doors, but they are the public spaces.  You would have been in the various halls, meeting rooms, and event rooms.  You would not have had access to utility spaces, private offices, storage spaces or study spaces.

Thank you for the luck listing.

The role was not for teleportation, or any action.  Unless you have a specific area you would want specifically, I'll role play your teleport.

[IC]You are able to collect the video you want.

OOC:

Knight will review the footage, trying to determine the movements of the thieves as well as any other individuals involved.  Going to try and make sure everything is as appears. He will also attempt to determine what was taken so he can examine the whatever it was as well.

[OOC]
Give me an INT vs 6 OV/RV to find anything on the tape.  If applying sharp eye, I just need to know how.

[IC]
You access to the system is not interrupted.  You can hear the security team walking around, but your location plus invisibility means you are safe.  There is a lot of conversations you hear in part that make things sound like there are some 'noobs' on the floor tonight.  "What is XXX?"  or "What key for a A378?"

OOC:

19:39, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 13 using 2d10 ((3,10)).

Um...don't remember which I should apply it to.  Think I got it either way though!  (Finally!)

As you scan, you have to do a double take a few times, but right on time (right about the time you figured based on the events), a few doors opened without anybody stepping through and you catch site of a bag on the floor for a second and then it is gone.  There are no alarms from the same alarms system for that time.  There is a log of an outside door opening under key, but the camera at that door showed nothing.  The same door is triggered maybe 30 minutes late in the same fashion.

He ignored the guards for the most part, unless their conversation drifted to the day's theft.  Mostly, he was focused on the information that filled his HUD.  As he observed, he made mental notes and directed the information as he desired.  He still had more digging to do it seemed.

OOC:
sent a bunch of questions

Closing the data down and storing it for later, he decided he needed a bit more details or at least access to a system that had more information than just camera access.  Abandoning his stationary position, he started to head deeper in.  He'd use the teleport to hop past any door or gate; no need for the cameras to see them open.  Once inside, he would have to find out what was taken and possibly why.  The items had to have been returned since the were recovered; they just weren't in their displays currently.

MSI's back halls and storage rooms are much the maze.  There are door numbers, but few maps or guides.  After a time, maybe more than you want, you find a area of store rooms.  The windows in the doors and few signs help with some of the 'hide and seek' and you eventually find the area that you saw on the camera.  You 'pop' into a room full of Nazi artifacts, documents and work spaces.

There are people walking the halls, but there are not many.  Most are security, but there are few in street clothes and white gloves.

[OOC]
Give me a roll for INT with a 4 OV/RV.

Ooc

Good grief Charlie Brown! NOW the dice roller likes me.  Clearly this means I should never roll in tense/combat situations!  I only don't suck outside of danger. ;)

17:01, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 17 using 2d10.

You start to search the room.  It is dusty.  You find shelfs of items; boxes and boxes of documents in acid-free envelopes, pictures, a lot of clothing (in protective bags), maps, a study space with a illumination top that has a few documents laid out (they may be doing a repair?  cleaning?), a few helmets, a few hats, a few weapons (disabled), and a hand full of mannequins (currently naked).  There are cabinets with documents, electronic media, and supplies (cleaning, office, etc.).  The room is large; a classroom size. The shelving units only go 6' or so.  The room has an independent HV/AC unit and humidity controller.

You find two things of interest:
1. A document that lists all the items that CPD currently has in their possession as evidence.  It makes guarantees to handling and return.  It invites a 'museum representative' to review what they are doing and supervise handling.  All items will be returned upon the finish of the documentation process.
2. An empty spot on a shelf where somebody has left a big yellow sticky that says Where is the desk eagle?  The good Dienstleiter Brikner is upset it is missing!!

There are no computers in this room, but you do find a network cable run along some shelves to the central 'work area'  that has nothing plugged in to it.  It does stop rather high on a shelf unit.

Leads exhausted, and he was a bit tired himself to be honest, it was time to call it on this outing.  Maybe some other day he'd sneak into the police department, he thought with a quiet chuckle.  Still, he should at least extend something of an olive branch.

Activating the teleport, he waited a few moments before he reappeared back on the pad.  He went through the disarming routing and headed for the main computer.  He took a few minutes to do a little digging, seeing which officer and analyst would be assigned to the case.  Taking a few extra minutes to reroute some communication to ensure any messages couldn't be tracked was simply common sense.



Signing off, a yawn escaped him.  It was late and it had been a busy day.  For now, it was time to sleep.  Standing, he headed off to get some.

[IC]
You have no issues leaving undetected.

A Detective Mia Dello was assigned to the investigation of the theft.  She is run out of the southern district not far from MSI.  She is a 15 year veteran and has been a detective for 4 years working mostly on theft cases (she has a good track record).  In and out of the CPD systems is not an issue for you currently.

In your digging, you find that they are almost done with the processing of the items and did have support from MSI.  MSI also delivered translations of documents and their documentation on the articles.

[OOC]
Roll a INT vs 6 APs.

Ooc

And my crappy rolls are back!  :)

[OOC]
Don't forget, unless you roll snake eyes, you roll again and add to get your total.  This keeps going until you don't roll doubles or roll snake eyes.  I remember seeing totals as high as 54 and greater.  The 54 is memorable as it was a glass ball from a catapult (green lantern energy structure thing) that was consider killing combat (oops!).  So...you rolled 4 on a pair of 2s.  Roll again sir.

ooc
Thanks, I completely forgot.

18:56, Today: Knight Wolf rolled 10 using 2d10 ((3,7)).

So with the 4 from before, a 14 tot.
