And to clarify, you could let the capture lapse without the opposition knowing that their system had been compromised.

Ex: capture system, PCs move, system released, no alarm sounded/PCs remain undetected unless physically spotted.

Call it 30min to modify what Lube already has.

That sounds good.  Teg, et. al - Please presume Cruz responds with the time required and relevant info, just to keep things moving!

I’ve got your broad outlines here, enough to start planning I think.  But to recap: 1) advance up the drainage, 2) hack the security system, 3) advance under Pulpo’s eye to the building, 4) enter and begin hunting the main server system.

What do you plan to do with your captured Listener?

Are you going to stay hidden, or spoof the bad guys to draw off potential security forces from where you actually are?

Can we get drones that fire stuff? Not like hellfire missiles obviously, but small scale stuff?

In reply to K.N. Orlova (msg # 213):

I like where your head is at, but not for free.  Pulpo may have a few weaponized drones laying around, but they’re going to cost eddies to access.

You have about thirty easy seconds to play with. Lube can pop a door lock quietly with a decent security roll.  Or Nyx can go for a window or something and loop back around.

Worth trying both maybe?  That way Nyx is flanking at the same time as door breach.

I like that.  It only splits the party momentarily (we hope).

Once Rae has a chance to chip in, I’ll get us going.

Does Nyx want company? If not, no problem. Trying to decide where to put Cipher.

Sure, can do if you want.

Can I get Nyx and Whisper’s current combat settings?

Thanks!

Initiative Reaction +5.

What he said…

Does there appear to be a light on in the basement (visible via the stairwell shaft)? If not, Whisper might need to take point (IIRC, he's got night vision for his cybereyes). Kenji's got meat eyes and his smart glasses don't have low-light capabilities.

-

If you crack the door you’ll see ambient light in the hallway (dim but useable) and a glow coming up from the stairs.

Assuming that only Sam can hear Pulpo's transmissions?

Are we on the landing or just looking down at it?

In reply to S. Fletcher (msg # 226):

Yep, Sam got the message.

Just looking down.  You all are still on the main level.

Sorry, I’m drowning in stuff. I won’t be able to post until Saturday

In reply to K.N. Orlova (msg # 228):

It’s cool.  I’m traveling today though I have my book with me.  I’ll be able to post this weekend, etc…

Thanks for the update!

Has Cruz seen any gas lines, large piles of flammable material, or anything that might allow him to easily and readily set this MFing building on fire?

Ok, managed to get some time tonight after all.

Nyx tends to be over confident. If you all don’t want to split the group I’m good with other options that avoid that, just wanted to put it out there.

In reply to A. Cruz (msg # 230):

Old office furniture is basically plastic gasoline so that’ll burn without issue.  You might have to contend with a fire suppression system, but mechanical shut offs for those bad boys tend to be in stairwells.  Which Lube would know.  Wheel valve construction.

Okay, now that is a shotgun value proposition I can get behind.
