The facility is quiet, minimal lighting, not much activity. One extra car in the lot, but otherwise things seem solid.

So a trio of prostitutes are suddenly finding one another incredibly attractive and are rolling around in the poison ivy not too far from the front gate. Copperhead can watch this with the drone, but no one else can.

The truck your in does have the armored rear for storing chemicals, but no weapons or other surprises (unless by 'surprises' you include a half-eaten bag of fritos under the passenger-side seat).

Toombs and St. V are in the front of the truck, each in their very ill-fitting biohazard suits. Noruas and Copperhead are in the back of the truck behind barrels of mildly hazardous chemicals.

Copperhead's drone has an excellent angle on the exterior bay doors, but cannot see inside of the garage (since it is closed). You can use a laser to damage that exterior camera, but not the interior one.

Toombs' air spirit can no longer assist, as you've left her domain.

St V makes sure that all of his personal effects are well hidden and where they should be.  He says, "Here we go," then gets out of the vehicle to meet the guy with the clipboard.

"Long night, eh?" he ask the guard rhetorically as he waits for the others to get out too.  He nonchalantly scans the contents of the garage, checking to see if there is anything noteworthy or pertinent to their ruse.

Noruas sits quietly behind a sealed barrel and tries to slow his breathing.  There wasn't much else he could do in this situation besides keeping as quiet as possible and getting ready in case there is trouble.

OOC: The following paragraphs can occur in whichever order makes most sense, depending on where exactly the camera is situated in relation to the vehicle.

If the camera in the garage looks movable, St. Velveteen will do an exaggerated yawn and "accidentally" bump it out of alignment as he walks by.  If not, he will sneeze into his hands first and leave the residue on the outer casing.

Either way, after greeting the guard, St. V peeks into the back of the van, only opening the back door a crack.  "We got everything we need, right?" he calls to Toombs.  "Everything is still where it's supposed to be back here.  Should be good to go."  He walks away from the vehicle and heads toward the exit, leaving a back door of the vehicle swung open just enough for someone to be able to slip out.

As the truck pulls into the bay, Toombs starts struggling with his seatbelt and lets St. V take the lead on a brief distraction. Again he calls for a spirit, this time the daemon of this facility and asks it to conceal, follow, & obey the two in the back.

Conjuring 6 (4), TN 3; 4,3,(6+5)11,2,3,2
Drain Resistance 6 (8) 3L; 2,2,5,5,4,4,3,4
Toombs summons a F3 spirit of man with 3 services. He dedicates the first service to Concealment for Copper, Noruas, and any drones; the second service is remote, so they can order the spirit to perform one task tonight. It will keep up the concealment until we leave the facility, regardless.



Fritos?! Drek yeah!
He clambers out of the truck, pulling at the seat of his pants. "Y' ever notice how no matter how long th' legs are, it always rides up in tha crotch?" he says to no-one in particular. As St V stretches, Toombs plops his own paperwork across the guard's board "Sorry 'bout this, we're tha replacement crew. Last guys got into some bad guac. You never want ta see what happens when a biohazard cleanup crew makes their own messes. Meantime, we've been getting complaints from some of our guys of gettin' bed bugs all burrowed inta tha seats or some drek. Ya can poke around in tha cab if'n ya want to, but try ta keep yer hands ta yerself.
That aside, on ta tha legal drek. We represent tha company." <beat>, he jabs a thumb at the truck "and are here ta transport medical waste, hazardous materials, or noxious chemicals. I know tha other guys musta asked ya this, but have ta have it on record for everyone." he continues back to a bored drone "Do we have yer consent ta enter tha premesis for purposes a' transporting, recovering, or extracting said materials in the pursuit of our duties?"
Toombs will continue droning for a bit until he's fairly sure that Copper and Noruas get clear of the van. When that is said and done, he will add a final "Also please remember ta stay back while we are engaged in tha transport. Some of tha guys down in processing have been turnin' purple and wretching worse. Not at liberty ta say where them materials came from, but I'll just say 'y'ain't paid enough ta deal with that if it's from here', innit?"
Etiquette 6: droning, 4,3,4,1,3,2. I had a much better roll a second ago, but I forgot to cut it back from 8d6 :[

Copperhead motions for Noruas to wait and subvocalizes "I'll ping 'an is safe.  Mister V, leave da laz'r"

Then, she watches her deck's video screen and slips off her lab coat.  Bright white is not her friend at the moment.  When she's sure the guard is well distracted and looking elsewhere, she slips down between the gap between the truck and the loading dock trying to use the partially open door as a shield from the camera.  She figured moving now would be less likely to be noticed as the eyes of anyone looking at the camera's images woudl be drawn to the gesticulating dwarf, not the small flash of motion by the truck doors.

Once down, she crawls to a position under the truck, invisible from anyone standing above and then continues to monitor the truck's cameras to wait until everyone's left and to plan the best approach to get into the camera's blind side once everyone has left.  While she waits, she pulls out her ultrasound emitter/detector to check for any motion sensors

quote:

16:23, Today: Copperhead rolled 5 successes using 6d6 with the Shadowrun system with a target of 4 with rolls of 4,2,(6+4)10,5,5,4. Stealth.

So with the protection of the spirit, that's a target 13 to notice her, probably higher given the combined distraction from Toombs and the joygirls and the misalignment and or grimed camera lens.

"Once they's gone, I'll pop da case on da camera and prep it fer yer deckin.  We jus cares 'bout what cameras and other dreck is on da route.  Loop da cameras em if ya can, odderwise just 'member where they ie and what coverage they gots"

The garage seems like a pretty standard loading dock. There's a pair of bays, some small cargo lifts, a giant dumpster of empty cardboard boxes, little bits of litter left here and there on the floor, and plenty of dollies. This room does have high ceilings to accommodate vehicles. The security camera is situated about eight feet up, in the corner where the guard might sit (judging from the desk and chair) beside the door.

St. V knocks the camera and the guard immediately shouts, "Hey! Put that back how it was, yah idiot! Goddammit this is why they should never hire trogs... sorry... trolls. Put it back, then open the back of the truck for inventory.

Copperhead, seeing the opportunity, hops out of the back and makes her way like a wraith to the underside of the truck. It stinks of old oil.

(I assume St. V takes the opportunity for some other camera mischief. Or not, once Copperhead is out.)

No sign of motion detectors.


When Toombs starts talking, the guard holds up his hands, "No no, I don't need... I don't touch nothing. Just bring the barrels out so I can check 'em off the checklist, okay? You ever done this before? Geez, new recruits... You got a dolly?" He goes back to checking through his checklist, shaking his head.

Placing his booger-covered hand directly over the lens as he "adjusts" the camera leaving it pointed part way towards the ceiling would be good :>  Key is that we can get up from below the loading ramp to under the camera without being seen and we can open the door without it being noticed.

"Look like deys movin yer cover Nuras.  Move ta da doors an when da troll is blockin' da view, ya can jumps down wit me.  I'll tell ya when is safe."

The rigger keeps a close eye on the cameras and gives the decker the go ahead as soon as St. V's bulk is concealing the partially open door and Toombs has the guard looking the wrong way.  She then waits for the door to the inside of the facility to open so she can get a good look at the hallway with the van's cameras.  She wants to know exactly where the camera is in the hall.

How's Noruas for stealth?  And shooting?  Think he can use the laser to fry the camera in the hall if we've got the door propped open and the guard looking the other way?  The nice thing about a laser is the camera won't pick it up until the dot's right on the lens, at which point, it's game over so long as you can hold it there for a couple of seconds.

Also, is Copperhead able to get any chatter over the guard's radio frequency?  Does the guard's desk have any camera monitors on it?

"Ey, cut me some slack. I got Corporate and HR chewin my ass ta stick ta handbook, you know how dat is. Shit, we only get one 15 minute break per ten-hour shift. You believe that drek?" He shrugs and waves St V over "Ey lumpy, if yer done makin this guy's life difficult, get yer ass over here. We gots a deliv'ry ta make an' I wanna be able ta take a piss break 'fore we scoot again. You remember tha dolley this time, or we gonna have ta do it tha hard way agin?" He looks back at the guard "I swear, sometimes you breeders make so much more sense." he gives an innocent look "Wha'? some of my best friends're long-pork."
Once Noruas & Copper are both out and under the truck, Toombs will pull the guard over to inspect it, and then pull him away again to try and get some of the paperwork filled ahead of time. He'll also ask for directions to exactly where they are going, and if they are more than "in the door there", he'll mix up the directions once or twice to give N&C a little more head start. "Ey, when ya been in tha industry long as me, all these top-secret spook plants start ta look tha same. Remind me ta tell you about that secret fireworks factory I got assigned to once. Was real awkward when tha whole thing burned down 'cause 'a one lit ciggie. Can I bum ya one by tha way?

Sorry - are you delaying him in the entrance?  That doesn't help us.  We can't do anything until you've gone down the hall so Noruas can deck the camera systems while you guys are getting out of the way.  If you want to stall him, do it downstairs.

The dwarf does his best to hide behind cover without being seen.  He pulls out the laser pointer Copperhead gave him, and waited for the signal to fry the camera.  Once the signal is given, he does his best to aim it straight into the camera lens, but all the while keeping out of sight.  And as soon as he is more or less sure that camera is gone, and the guard's attention is away from him, he begins to move according to the rigger's instructions.

I've got some stealth and some know-how with a gun.
