GM: Nina
Players: Cain, Nina
Synopsis: Nina's Italian mafia fixer wants dirt on a local CAS law enforcement captain so that he can work him and get him to be an information and turn him into a tool inside the department. As a test to see if BillyBob can be used in future work, Tony (fixer) has Nina hire him, offering him a nice drone as payment if he can hide a recording device in the Captain's home office.
BillyBob gets frustrated and quits.
Nina took responsibility though and doesn't want to let her fixer down (lvl 3 fixer) so she gets the help of Cain and they return to finish the job.

----> Text Message to BillyBob from Muse (#6503) <---—

BB, work has come up that I think you will like. Want to meet me to talk about it?

Commlink-BillyBob> BillyBob sends, « Yah sure, pick ya up at da coffee place. »

** GM Nina **
Nina is not in range of a commlink signal.. assuming above is a txt.

Nina gathers up her gear for what she thinks the job will need, she also picks up the hard plastic case that she was given by her fixer and heads into the Enchanting room. She pauses there to wrap herself in an illusion spell (F2 Physical Mask) so that when she leaves and heads out on the job she will not look like her REAL self.

Nina wraps herself in a new look:

Nina gets into her SUV and then heads off to the parking garage and parks in the city garage a block away from Pentabucks and walks the remainder of the way to the coffee shop.

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 6 + 4 (ally) vs TN 4 for "F2 Physical Mask - Cast into Sustaining foci KP: 0/32":

Nina nears Pentabucks with a fashionable backpack over one shoulder and wearing a heavy looking leather jacket (armored jacket).

BillyBob putters up in his RV, which is disguised as a delivery truck with a brown paint job. He spots someone standing outside Pentabucks and pops open his side door.

Nina spies the delivery van, not looking like the food vehicle it was before so she's cautious. When the door opens though and she sees inside her mouth splits into a wide smile and dimples in her cheeks show most distinctly as she turns and walks towards the vehicle, "Hey there big fella.. can I have a ride?" She hops in with a smile, "Is that Chewing Tabbacco Tingling?"

BillyBob leans back to peer out the open door. "You know it!" He spits some chewing tobacco into a styrofoam cup. "Hop on in."

Nina climbs in and moves around into the front passengers seat, slipping her backpack off and putting it on the floor between her legs in front of herself. (She looks like a completely different person from before).

Nina reaches down and opens up her backpack, "My fixer has a job… I shared the video with him that you did on that bookie's estate and he had another rigger type job so he contact me to see if we could pull it off together." Nina pulls a military grade hard plastic/fiberglass case out of her backpack that is black (the kind real expensive telephoto lens and things like that are stored in).

Nina puts the case on her lap and then turns it so that BB can see it as it opens and then she snaps the latches and opens it up.

Inside:

Ares Gremlin
Summary Here:
The Ares Gremlin is a hand-sized walker drone with six legs and two claw-like manipulators. It looks a bit like an elongated crab and is used in the covert theft of tiny items such as unsecured optical chips, credsticks, maglock keycards, ID's, guns, Fizzy-Pop cans, basically anything brick-sized you could set on your hand, as tall as it is wide (but not long). The Gremlin is big and clunky for a microdrone, so ruthenium has been applied to increase its survivability.

Nina explains, "This drone as a small compartment in its back and a little mechanical arm as you can see. My fixer says it can climb up walls and even upside down on ceilings.. and.. it has that invisible camera and paint skin stuff that makes it hard to see if its not moving.. really wiz little toy. Um.. He says that if you can get the item in the compartment inside it, inside a residential home on a bookshelf behind some books in a home office in this guys house… that you can keep the drone as payment."

BillyBob shuts the door once Nina enters, giving her the eye as he does not seem to recognize her. When she pulls out the pelican case his eyebrows perk. "Ooh… is that one 'a them RUTHENIUM drones? Wit' da light bendin' bidness? Real wiz tech!" He taps some commands into the remote control deck sitting on his dashboard. "Yah I kin do dat. This is that fragger's house we scouted right?"

Nina shakes her head, "No, that location has been dealt with. This is a new place. Not nearly as high of security as that place. It's a single residential house like last time but the community is not gated and the security is not crazy like that. No surrounding wall or patrol guards with dogs.. this is just a normal house."

BillyBob nods. "Well gimme da coordinates, I'll run o'er. It's low sec so I don't hafta have your pigeon carry me to da roof, right?"

Nina hmms in thought, "Well, I don't know about low security. I just was saying it was not like the one before. I'm not sure what the range on this drone is and if you'll have enough energy to go from where you set it out to get the job done and get it back. I'm available if you need me, but you can let me know when you get a look at the place."

Nina shares the street address in the CAS sector (same sector they are already in) to a Upper-Middle lifestyle neighborhood, the type with neighborhood watch patrols, good lighting on the streets and average 5 minute police response times.

BillyBob rigs into his RV and drives there, allowing the autopilot to drive until they get nearby. Then he deploys his bumblebee from the top, getting an aerial view which is broadcast on the various trideo screens within the spacious recreational vehicle. "Let me add this thing to my remote control deck's frequencies. Put it on the ground, would ya?"

** GM Nina **
IC Time: 8:45 pm (2 hours after sunset)

The neighborhood has a few vehicles parked on the street at the curbs, garbage cans are out at the curbs also for pickup the next morning.
A couple people are out walking their dogs.
One man is out jogging to get in some excersise for an after dinner workout.
The sound of a dog barking in the distance sounds as if it is likely from a backyard in the neighborhood.
Overhead a helicopter flies over with a searchlight lit up.
A block away the reflection of blue flashing lights can be seen, some cops are in the immediate area due to some other event going on. Response time might be super fast.

Nina puts the small drone onto the floor of the van.

BillyBob makes certain the encryption frequencies match between the drone and his remote control deck. "Looks good. It don't have a dog brain though… guess I'll be guidin' it the entire way. Hrm… everythang looks well lit. Let me find some kinda place 'ta park so I don't look so conspicuous. Then I'll drop off da drone an' off we'll go." He glances at the overhead bee drone's surveillance feed briefly, eyeing the target's house.

BillyBob says "Oh wait, it does have a dog brain! Just real dumb."

** GM Nina **
The Target home is a two story home, nothing fancy but is kept clean and well manicured and cared for. The back yard has a wire from the side of the house to the back edge of the property (a dog run so the dog can run around back/forth). There is a swingset and a small treehouse. There is also a small shed that is likely for a lawn mower and tools.
A two car garage is on the right side of the home and a curved walkway from the drive up to the front door. The back of the home has a small balcony off an exterior door on the second floor, likely the master bedroom.

Nina nods to the plan, sounds good. "I'll just stay here and make sure no demons rip your body to bits while you are rigging?"

BillyBob grunts. "Yah, dat would be good." He finds an out of the way spot and parks. "Bison, monitor," he says, setting his Bison to scan for threats. He then jumps from captain's chair to directly rigging the Gremlin. A small door opens in the floor in the back and the Gremlin skitters out, activating its ruthenium and crab-walking toward the target home. "Hrm… where do ya think an access is? You see one on tha' bumblebee's feed?"

Nina oh's at the question, "Um.. let me see." She moves to get at one of the monitors for a look, "Uh… I'm not sure.. I can't really tell from here."

** GM Nina **
Please +roll Stealth for sneaky approach through neighborhood.

«Auto-Judge[]» BillyBob (#10588) rolls Stealth for " sneaking through the neighborhood":

** GM Nina **
The Bumblebee drone audio sensors (mircophones) pick up the sounds of several police response vehicles in the distance approaching the general area.

On the route to the target home, BB is able to spot trouble before it leads to his discovery, allowing enough response time on three occassions to get well out of the way from being spotted from passerby peoples.

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 4 vs TN 9 for "Dog Senses":
2 3 4 4 = 0 Successes

"Fuckin' wageslaves need 'ta fuck off, gettin' in my way. Okay, gettin' closer…" BillyBob creeps through backyards and such, going to the two-story house in question. "Did he say where dat bookcase was?"

Nina mutters softly in the van, "Someone has anger issues?"

Nina nods and offers aloud, "The bookcase is behind his desk.. he wanted the item in the compartment put behind some books on the bookcase."

** GM Nina **
The home stands before the small gremlin drone, lights illuminate the closed curtains on the front living room window. And upstairs window is also lit with closed curtains.

BillyBob elects to crawl slowly up the side of the house. "You think tha' study is on tha' second floor? I see a light on… I wonder if I can see thru them curtains." He creeps, using one leg after the other to crawl up the side of the house and closer to the window. "Or is this tha' kids bedroom."

** GM Nina **
Please +roll Walkers pilot skill. Handling 4 + 2 (climbing up verticle wall) - RCD rating.. can use control pool, etc.

** GM Nina **
Handling 4 + 4 (defaulting skill) + 2(verticle wall) - 2 (VCR) = TN 8

Bumblebee: Hears an explosion from the West and sees a plume of fire go up. It can hear cheering from a crowd and the woop woop of police warning sirens. Another helicopter has joined in the skies above.

Gremlin: The curtains cover the view completely of the room within but the Gremlin can hear a muffled woman's voice, "And then.. Pooh Bear said to Tigger.. you make my belly laugh."

BillyBob grunts. "Tha' fuck is goin' on over there? People blowin' shit up? This sector is gettin' worse than the Warrens." His gremlin searches this way and that on the roof, looking for an access point to the AC ducts.

** GM Nina **

Gremlin: Discovers one open access. A 4" pipe that leads into the sewer vent. Attic vents are wired off to prevent birds and insects from getting in and building nests in the home.
There is spotted an A/C unit in the back yard near the building but the only thing leading from it into the home is a freon copper line. This is not an industrical warehouse setup for heating and air conditioning.

Bumblebee: The garage door of the home is opening.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Hrm. Does the sewer vent lead into the home?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Technically it leads into the home."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "4 inches, I assume this thing will fit"
«OOC» Nina says, "It will"

«OOC» BillyBob says, "I'll try it!"

«Auto-Judge[]» BillyBob (#10588) rolls Car + Control Pool: 6 vs TN 8 for " getting into the sewer vent":
1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 5 5 5 = 0 Successes

** GM Nina **
The garage door finishes opening up and an unmarked police car drives out of the garage and down the driveway as the garage door is closing again.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "How many more of these rolls will be required?"
«OOC» Nina says, "If you keep doing wall climbing and straight up/down metal pipe climbs.. several."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Are you going to make it TN 8 for climbing stairs and junk?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Nope.. just smooth surface verticle climbs."
«OOC» Nina says, "You're picking the hardest climbs you can do with the drone. :)"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "I'll just go into the garage door, that might be easier, and save my KP."
«OOC» Nina says, "Too late.. you can't make it in time now.. you chose the pipe when you had that opportunity."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "OK, into the pipe I go!"

BillyBob manages to scramble with some difficulty into the sewer pipe. Along he goes down the 4" pipe to find some opening, hopefully. "Is dis guy a cop?"

Nina speaks in the van, "Um.. I think he might be. There is an umarked police car coming out of his drive I think.. yep.. lights just got turned on and it's racing.. it just drove past us. I think it's going over to that developing riot the next street over."

Gremlin-> Heads into the ductile iron smooth walled pipe straight down into the home. After about ten feet down it comes to a "Y" where it keeps going straight down and also bends to a near horizonal 4" pipe here (likely on the 2nd floor).

BillyBob turns himself in his small walker drone and goes for the second floor. "I'm thinkin' tha study is on da second floor. What d'you think?"

** GM Nina **
Super dark now.. may be good to turn on it's little LED light.

BillyBob does indeed flip on a small dim light to assist its low-light sensors.

Nina offers in the van, "Oh dear.. I have no idea, we didn't do any real recon on this yet."

There is a sound.. a gurgling whumpf sound and as the small LED light comes on it witnesses a wall of water coming at the drone, soon covering it.. THUMP! it gets hit with a big brown trout with corn stuck in it. Able to hold on tight though it doesn't get thrown down the pipe below but it's now got nice brown fecees stains on it's sensors and a piece of corn and celery stuck on its back.

BillyBob grunts at the impact as the toilet flushes. "Fuck! Who is droppin' deuces at this hour? So gross." He continues trudging along.

** GM Nina **
Bumblebee-> Witnesses a group of about twenty thug orks and trolls and dwarves at the end of the block turning onto the target home street. The group is dressed in black hoodies with masks and they are knocking over garbage cans, throwing bottles and refuse from the garbage, knocking over mailboxes, ripping out lawn ornaments.. and breaking home windows as they start their chaos at the end of the street.

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> The drone reaches the curve where the toilet dumps into the drain and then can see ahead where another curve leads into the bathtub/shower likely.

BillyBob elects to go to the bathtub/shower route where hopefully some water can cleanse it. "I thought this wuz a nice neighborhood. Why is trogs thugs hasslin' these parts?"

Nina offers in the van, "I'm not sure.. but they're sure riled up.. this van have armor?"

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> The drone reaches the tub area and finds the pipe drops to 2" in size, too small to travel that way.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Toilet pipes and their bends are pretty small as well."

** GM Nina **

Guaranteed to lose the drone and get it stuck for good.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Is there an outlet I can fit thru downstairs?"
«OOC» Nina says, "You have no idea, you haven't been there yet."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "I don't want to bang my head against a wall for 2 hours though."
«OOC» Nina says, "From the sewer you are not going to find any access to the inside of the house."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Okay then I have to climb back up and find another way."

** GM Nina **
Climbing to the roof: TN 8

«Auto-Judge[]» BillyBob (#10588) rolls Car + Combat Pool: 6 vs TN 8 for " climbing up the water spout":

** GM Nina **
Billybob spends the next 10 minutes checking various pipes and determines he can't find a way into the home from the pipes.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "That's cool. Can I just use the crab pincers to rip off the little fences on the ducts and get inside that way?"
«OOC» Nina says, "What ducts?"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Gremlin: Discovers one open access. A 4" pipe that leads into the sewer vent. Attic vents are wired off to prevent birds and insects from getting in and building nests in the home."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "The wire on the attic vents I mean."
«OOC» Nina says, "You can try, have a wire cutter?"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "No, I assume the little claws can do it. Or it has tools?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Let me check the book and see if it mentions tools."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "It just says manipulator claws."

** GM Nina **
The drone has two claw-like manipulators.. no tools.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "You turn into a bird, carry the wire cutters to him from the RV, then fly back. :D"
«OOC» Nina says, "yeah. .if you have wire cutters we can do that."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "I'm sure he does."

BillyBob grunts. "Fuck. Hey grab some wire cutters outta my glovebox, turn into a bird, fly 'em over to da roof, and give 'em to my fuckin' drone, would ya? Havin' some trouble wit' dese vents."

Nina nods in the van, 'oh.. you bet.. gotch yo back BB."

The mob is up to about the third house now. Cops have started to come in from the opposite end of the street and are driving swiftly towards the van and the mob, stopping about where the van is and blocking off the street, starting to put up a wall of men as they get out riot shields and shotguns from their trunks.

Nina eeeps softly, "When I make a bird noise in here cna you lower the passengers window and raise it after I fly out? I don't want to leave it open with these rioters being so close."

** GM Nina **
If the cops can stop the riot from moving past their vehicles, it won't reach the target home location.

** GM Nina **
As the mob gets close, shouts and calls can be heard, "Metahuman lives Matter!"

BillyBob cracks one of his windows so someone pigeon-size can get out. "Yeah fuck those rioters, this thang is armored, they can't get in. And if they touch the paint I'll electroshock the shit out of 'em."

Nina seems relieved at the news as she opens up the glove box and starts to rummage through it, "registration.. insurance.. owners manual.. condom?… cough drop.. .45 cal round… chapstick… can of tabbacco… one right driving glove… Um… do you have tools in the back?"

BillyBob says "They're in there! If not check mah toolbox in back."

Nina hmms with frustration and then gets up and goes into the back, finds the toolbox and opens it up, "Ah.. lots of stuf fin here.. screwdrivers.. plyers.. wire snips.. here we go. Um.. these are pretty heavy. I'm going to have to go for a Raven … piegon is too small to carry these. Can you open the window a bit more?" She puts the larger wire snips on the front seat where she was sitting and then starts to get undressed.

A black riot response vehicle from the far end of the street where the cops came from rolls in and approaches quickly, brining in another ten cops in riot gear.

BillyBob drops the window a bit more, idly watching from overhead as more law enforcement arrive. "This is gettin' crazy. Hurry up!"

** GM Nina **
Will be bringing these: http://postimg.org/image/idhg2wokj/

Nina ughs, "I'm sorry.. hurrying." She gets her shirt off and works on her laces on her boots. It takes a couple minutes to get naked in the back of the van and then she works her magic… good thing about all these physical mask spells.. every time BB works with Nina he gets to see a different naked girl in his van.

----------—[ Shadowrun Denver ]-
====================> Spell Catalog Listing: Shapechange <=====================
Spell Name: Shapechange
Category: Manipulation/Transformation
Target Number: B(T)(V)
Drain Code: +1M
Type: Physical
Duration: Sustained
Range: LoS(1)
-----> Spell Description <-----—
Shapechange changes a voluntary target into a normal critter, chosen by the caster. The Threshold is equal to half the target's Body plus the difference between the critter's and the target's unaugmented Body Attributes. (This difference cannot exceed the spell's Force.) For example, shapechanging a Body 3 human into a Body 8 tiger requires the spell caster to beat a Threshold of 6(3/2) = 1, 1 + (8 - 3). Use the critter statistics given on p. 19 of Critters. If the critter form being taken has an Armor Rating, add the armor to Body for determining the Threshold.
A shapechanged character uses the critter's physical Attributes and their own mental Attributes, calculating Reaction and Combat Pool normally. Shapechanged characters do not receive any extra Initiative dice (even if the critter does), but they do get the critter's Reach bonus, if any. At the GM's discretion, physical attacks by a shapechanged character may be treated as attacks with hand razors or spurs to reflect claws and teeth.
The Shapechange spell does not transform clothing or equipment, which may be ripped or destroyed during the change. Cyberware, paid for with Essence, is transformed into the critter form but cannot be used in that form. Shapechanged characters may cast spells and conjure, but they cannot speak and are otherwise limited by the critter's form.
Transform is a variant of Shapechange that can be used on involuntary targets.

-----> Shapechanging Threshold Successes <-----

The Threshold is equal to half the target's Body plus the difference between the critter's and the target's unaugmented Body Attributes. (This difference cannot exceed the spell's Force.)

1/2 Body of Target (Nina: 3/2 = 1.5 round up): 2 + Difference of Critter & Nina's Body Attribute

Force 4 Shapechange Limits for Nina to use on self

Body Critter TN Threshold Example
1 3 2+2 = 4 Rat - Piegon - House Cat
2 3 2+1 = 3 Hawk - Fox - Lynx
3 3 2+0 = 2 German Sheppard
4 3 2+1 = 3 Deer
5 3 2+2 = 4 Leopard - Shark - Wolf
6 3 2+3 = 5 Seal
7 3 2+4 = 6 Lion

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 6 + 4 (Ally) vs TN 3 for "Tn is Nina's body attr, need 3 successes.":

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Centering vs TN 3 for "Centering for successes.":
2 2 5 5 11 = 3 Successes

-----> Metamagic: Filtering <------
Filtering is a technique similar to Cleansing. Rather than cleanse the area, filtering creates a temporary 'matrix' that allows the initiate to access 'clean' mana despite mana static and warping, reducing or negating the penalties for casting from a background count.

This metamagic technique requires that the initiate knows Cleansing.

Exclusive complex action. Magic vs TN of background count. Every 2 successes reduces the effective BG count by 1. Lasts for (Initiate Grade) * (10 - BG count) turns.

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Magic vs TN 2 for "Filtering to remove BG Count: 1":
1 2 2 3 3 5 5 5 5 5 7 10 = 11 Successes

** GM Nina **
Nina has free access to pure mana for 72 turns.

Nina adjusts the size of her leather strap bracelet so that it sets on her nose as she looks up and starts chanting in Enochian. She pulls in pure mana for her magic after she clears the area in the astral for a clear path to power and then..

POOF.. Raven Nina.

** Nina Raven **
The large black bird hops up to the front, flaps and jumps, gets the wire clippers and then jumps up and out of the van window and into the dark night sky.

BillyBob remains in captain's chair mode, instructing the crab drone to clean itself with its claws - at least picking off the bits of corn and other ruffage. "Gah so gross." He waits patiently for those aerial wire clippers.

** GM Nina **
The riot response team has a solid wall now, using BB's van as a natural part of the barrier. They haven't touched it but some of them have gotten close. The mob has stopped and is building up rage and determination about fifty meters back from the rear of the van as they are lighting trash cans on fire now.

** Nina Raven **
The large black bird glides in and flaps and lands with a small thud on the shingled roof, releasing the wire snips next to the nasty drone. It quickly hops away from the drone and wiggles its head back/forth as if the smell is unbearable.

BillyBob fetches the wire cutters and starts snipping wildly at the wire barrier. Snip snip snip! Once that is done, it scampers inside the vent to access the house.

** GM Nina **
TN 8 for use of both pincher arms used in unison, using a tool. Probalby should be a higher TN

«Auto-Judge[]» BillyBob (#10588) rolls Car + Combat Pool: 6 vs TN 8 for "using wire cutters on a drone":
1 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 23 = 1 Success

** GM Nina **
Success on snipperage.

** GM Nina **
Are you carrying the snippers in with you?

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> This vent leads into much easier passage. The passage is flexible accordian foil lined 6" diameter hose ducting. It's soft and puncturable and pinchers can rip holes in the sides. The drone is… somewhere.. .in the attack.. but it can't see where it's at.

BillyBob crawls into the accordian vent. It pops open its compartment as he goes to store the clippers.

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> Cargo cam confirms that the compartment is full.. at least the clippers can not fit in it with the already filled item within.

BillyBob also simply tears open a small part of the accordian vent to peek out, seeing if his drone is indeed in the attic.

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> Insulation, wiring, rafters.

BillyBob just leaves the clippers on the roof for the raven to grab!

** Nina Raven **
The large black bird snatches up the clippers and takes to the skies.

BillyBob goes ahead and tears open a smaller hole, small enough for the drone to get through, once it estimates the length required to get near the floor. Then in climbs out into the attic.

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> Poofy pink insulation floor.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Am I in the attic?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Yep"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Is there a door downstairs?"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Like a trapdoor or something?"
«OOC» Nina says, "It's not a livable space attic. There is a trapdoor.. yeah."

BillyBob skitters across the way to the trapdoor, opens it with a claw, and peeps down.

** GM Nina **
The trap door is pulled down from below with a cord. It will take about 50 lbs of pressure to push down to open it from the attic.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Is this drone able to exert that kind of pressure?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Nowhere near."
«OOC» BillyBob says, "Is there any other way out of the attic?"

Gremlin-> BB spots other duct work that is much larger, leading to heating vents. The larger ducts are also the flexible thin wall construction that can easily be cut into. He also notes some light fixtures that the insulation is pulled back away from that if the drone was equipped with a screwdriver it could possibly loosen some screws and open a wire panel to get inside and into the room below.

** GM Nina **
The riot is picking up more supporters from the other street and they have gathered in full force now about 50 meters behind the van… they start to throw bottles at the cops.. a rock slams into the back of the van window (it does not crack or break). A cop dodges to the left to dodge a rock and he reaches out to catch himself as he's unbalanced and his hand lands on the side of the van.. ZAAAPPP!

** GM Nina **
What damage does your van security zapper do?

BillyBob's drone makes for the vent, moving through and looking through each set of slats, attempting to ascertain where the study is.

** GM Nina **
Assuming the Gremlin drone cut a new hole in the larger vents to get in….
The first room the Gremlin drone peers through the metal vent ribs through is…

BillyBob snickers and goes along to the next vent slat, seeking a proper room.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Can you just tell me when/if I find it along the way? I don't want to go vent by vent through a 10 room house"

«OOC» BillyBob says, "OK I'll go down to the first floor and check."

BillyBob, not seeing his target through the many vents, goes to the nexus of the vents and crawls down to the first floor of the home, searching in much the same way.

** GM Nina **
Gremlin-> Heading down to the first floor is through individual tunnels in individual walls. If the wrong room it means climbing back up and along the attic and then down another drop inside the next wall. It takes some time…

** Nina Raven **
The large birds glides down silently.. a black shape in the sky and flaps to slow and then flaps crazy like in the van but still is going to fast and thuds into BB's shoulder. CAW! it offers and then lands on the floor and moves to the back of the vehicle with hopping movements.

BillyBob grunts as his meat body is impacted by a bird of some sort. He rolls up the window. "Lemme alone I'm lookin' for dis study."

** GM Nina **
Over the course of the next several minutes, the riot is up and close and personal with the police… shoving on the walls of riot shields. Tear gas is shot into the crowd… someone in the crowd has a firecracker or a gun.. but a bang goes off.

The police return fire with shotguns.. screaming.. panic.. the mob rushes foward.

Tada.. study is found.

BillyBob finds the study! Eureka! The drone uses its pincers to open up the vent or it cuts a small opening with its pincers, whichever is possible, and waddles to the bookshelf to deposit its naughty gift.

** GM Nina **
The vent construction is too strong to be bent or cut by the small spy drone.

«OOC» BillyBob says, "how do I get in the study."
«OOC» Nina says, "I don't know.. if I did.. I can't tell you. I'm the GM"
«OOC» BillyBob says, "I can't cut through the duct or open up the screws in the vent?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Correct.. but now you know where the room is."

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Oy, can I just abort this mission?"
«OOC» Nina says, "Sure.. retrace your route out to the roof and head on back. If you want the raven to pick you up you can skip the TN 8 to climb down the side of the wall."

BillyBob retraces his route up to the roof. "Yo Raven, go pick up da drone, couldn't get it done."

** Nina Raven **
CAW!

«OOC» BillyBob says, "Can we handwave a little so it can be done fast? I'm tired"

** Nina Raven **
The Raven hops up onto the seat and waits for the window to come down.

BillyBob rolls down the window, etc.

** Nina Raven **
The raven heads on up into the sky as the riot rushes around the van from all sides. Closing the window becomes essential and it's pretty obvious that the van needs driving out of the riot and the bird/drone picked up elsewhere now.

Fast-Forward: That done… the Raven flies back into the window when the van is at a safe location and then sets the drone down.

Nina hops into the back and gets the bracelet off her neck and then turns back into her human form and starts to get dressed, "What happend?"

BillyBob grunts. "I got stuck in da vents. But I got you info on the house at least. These riots are gettin' too crazy, I'm pullin' out." He fires up the Bison.

Nina nods to that, "Understood.. I'll regroup and replan.. thanks for trying."

BillyBob grunts. "No problemo." He drives to Pentabucks to drop her off. "Have a good'un!"

Nina gathers up the nasty smelling drone that needs a bath and puts it in the container, gets her bag and heads out onto the street for a ride back home.

-----> Wed Dec 23 12:08:16 2075 <------

Nina finishes up learning the Extended Mindlink spell, today's little project and from this she heads up out of the sub-basement to go to the kitchen and start preparing some spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight.

With the smell of the sauce soon filling the place she turns and smiles as Cain's nose has pulled him from his study of the stunbolt spell he's learning, "Hey there lover.. hungry?"

** GM Nina **
This plot may cause a rash, testecular itching, near-sightedness, maiming or even death. Do the players in this plot aggree to these possibilities and also the posting of this RP log on Wiki?

«Plot» Nina agrees and approves.
«Plot» Cain says, "I consent"

Cain seems to be making pretty good progress on that stunbolt spell he is learning. He looks up when the smell of the food entices him, and he wanders out of the study with a smile towards her. "Well, I am now." He says with a grin, before he pauses and eyes 'Nina'. "… You don't always do the cooking." He says slowly, before his eyes slip astral to make sure its not Morpheus.

The cook is the real Nina today.

Nina offers a smile, "I thought I'd make one of my mother's recipes tonight. I hope you're hungry, it's like this family batch and it's always too much for just two people." She slowly stirs the sauce and looks down into its slow simmering bubbles before adding, "Oh.. tried to do this job with a rigger placing an electronic listening device hidden in this police officer.. captain fella's home office but the rigger was like super frustrated that it wasn't a cakewalk of a job and he quit. You think you want to help me sneak into this guy's house and hide this thing in his office tonight?"

Cain blinks. "… Your rigger quit on you?" He says with a vague smile, before he shakes his head. "Add that to the list of names we don't use again. Who was that? And yeah, sure. I can help you with that."

Nina nods, "Yeah, country bumpkin with a mullet that chews tobacco all the time. Billybob was his name. As much kuth as a pimp and smelled worse too. I kept trying to be professional, I can't say I wasn't upset that he quit and walked off the job… I've seen more professionalism in a 3rd grader's soccer game."

Nina moves to pull a couple plates out of the counter and walks them over to the table to set them in place, "Thank you dear. We already did a go-through so I have the video the rigger made during his recon with his little gremlin drone thing. The Fix wanted to pay him with the drone, letting him keep the drone. It was a job to test him and see if he was worth of future work.. obviously he wasn't. So I returned the drone to the fixer… but he still needs the job accomplished."

There is a nod from Cain, and the man rubs his neck as he moves to help set the table as well while Nina tells him of the job. "Alright. So what do you think our angle should be? We just need to get a bug inside the captains home office?"

Nina nods as they are setting the table and then she gets the parmesean cheese out of the fridge and works on draining the pasta as they talk, "He's a captain in the police force here in the CAS sector, rather standard middle class type residential area. Two story home, study is on the ground floor. He has a wife and an infant daughter. There is a dog run in the back yard, no pool, a swingset and a little playhouse."

Cain nods his head idly, "Does he have magical protections on his house at all? Residential, I can't see it unless he is into some bad dealings." Cain muses under his breath, finishing setting the table as he sits down.

Nina brings the pasta to the table and places it down and then returns for the sauce and the large meatballs simmering within to get it into a serving bowl as they talk, "I remained off site watching from his van monitors and did not get on scene.. only at the end to fly in and pick up his drone from the rooftop. I think he would have just jacked out and left the drone there in his temper tantrum if I'd not gone and got it and brought it back to the van. At that point I was just recovering the fixer's asset and not trying to complete the job on my own. He'd failed his test for earning the drone and getting future work."

Cain shakes his head. "Wow… That really is a child. I'll keep his name in mind." Cain says with a frown. "But if you were able to land on the roof and get it, that at least implies there isn't a very good one if they have one." He muses.

Nina sets the sauce/balls on the table and takes her seat at the table and starts offering to serve the pasta and sauce/balls to Cain as they talk, "I'm not sure he could afford a Ward on his salary.. the place didn't look ostenatious at all.. very basic, but well taken care of. Like he has a good deal of pride in his family and wants to take care of them. But nothing indicating that he has any pride.. like a porche or outlandish artwork and the like. He seems like a real decent fella actually."

"Shouldn't be very hard at all then to just go invisible, get inside, and plant whatever it is we need to plan." He says confidently, smiling to Nina as she ladles out the food. "Do we have the bug ourselves?"

Nina nods to the question as she hands him back his plate and starts working on her own, "Indeed I do. The trick though is… we can't be seen.. heard.. nothing can let him know where were there. If there is just the slightest give-away.. we've fubared the job. I don't think we're going to get shot up.. but the risk here is it has to be like clinical clean on the work. The Fixer I think is working on recording his conversations.. or electronics or something. Trying to get dirt on him so that he can use it as blackmail within the police force. But.. if we muff the placement of the device, well.. screws the pooch on the whole shinding."

There is a quiet nod from Cain. "Mostly depends on leaving no trace in or out. If he has no idea we were there, he has no idea he needs to be looking for anything." Cain says with a nod, and a soft smile to Nina. "I can make myself nearly completely silent and nearly completely invisible, provided I weave the spells well enough. If we do that, we'll have free reign to wander in and find the best possible place to put it."
.

Nina nods, "The Fix had told me to have Billybob place it behind the books on the bookshelf behind the desk… here.. I got…" She gets up and heads over to where her purse is hanging up and gets her pocsec, "I took some stills from the rigger's video. Most of his work was inside the sewer pipes and then the ventilation ducts in the attic and walls but he did look out through the heating vents in a couple rooms before he gave up."
Picture displayed: http://postimg.org/image/t98ty99ib/

Nina sits back down, "The trick is finding the opportunity to get in.. and out.. without them wondering why their front door just opened… that was Billybob's frustration. He came running up with his drone and didn't see an open window so just had a tantrum about it. Like serious ADHD headcase."

Cain smiles towards Nina. "Sounds good to me." He agrees, leaning over to look at the video curiously and nodding his head. There is a snort. "Well. You said he got a drone into their? Sounds like you, Nina, get to use your extended mindlink." Cain says with a grin. "You'll shapeshift into a rat. Or shapeshift the both of us. We'll go invisible through the pipes, same route the drone took. MAybe as bats, or something that can fly if need be. Whatever the case is, we get in that way."

Nina nods as she offers, "He used some cutters on a roof vent and got down into the duct system.. this flexible tunnel stuff that is like aluminum foil walls.. a tube. That's what was in the attic. It went to the places where the duct work went down inside the walls and that's where it turned into metal ductwork.. the metal grates at the floorboards and near the ceilings of the room where where he gave up. He didn't have anything that could cut the metal grates to let him into the room and out of the duct system. I could use the laser spell.. but that'd leave charring and.. oh wait.. I could just laser the inside of the screws and bolts that hold it to the framing… then when it's time to leave.. levitate it up into place and use a weak laser spell to weld it back into place again?"

Cain chuckles softly. "Yep. We could do that." He agrees with a smile. "There are always ways around it. But also, I'd be VERY impressed if they noticed something as small as a missing few bolts on the bottom of the grate." He muses, before shaking his head. "Anyway. I think thats the way to go. There was no security system tipped off by the drone moving through the vents, or anything of that nature?"

Nina nods as she prepares to pour the glasses of red wine, "Nope.. I have to at least give the inbred nascar fella that much credit.. he didn't set off any warning bells."

"Alright. Well, if he didn't then I'm sure we won't. Did he /mention/ any sort of alarms or the like inside of the vent? Or anything of that nature?" Cain asks curiously.

Nina shakes her head, "Nope.. I was watching his video feed the whole time and he was chatting and swearing about what he was going through the whole time… I think if we take the same route like you say.. we'll be golden. So… we both go in as birds to the roof… change into Rats.. into the vents and such.. down to the study.. when the coast is clear.. like when they are sleeping in the middle of the night… tonight… I laser the grate open by cutting off the back of the screws or bolts.. oh.. the transmitter is about the size of a AA battery.. we can put that in a small cloth pouch that is padded.. so we can carry it in our mouth and it can bump into stuff without making a noise as we're ratting around… get into the office.. back to human .. maybe not.. maybe he as a security camera in there and staying a rat is best? Small.. un-noticed. A motion sensor is based on heat and if they have a dog it'd be set to a sensativity not to go off on anything smaller than the dog.. so maybe stay as a rat.. place the item.. and back into the grate.. you can levitate the grate into place as I gentle lazer the welding back in place..and up and out we go? Rooftop back into birds and fly off?"

"Or invisible." Cain says with a smile, "But, yes. That plan sounds fantastic to me. Stay as a rat, or as a bat even and soar over before flying out." A pause, "Or levitate the rat. We've got a lot of options." He nods, "That sounds simplest to me."

Nina seems pleased to be on a job again with her man, so much better than second rate help for sure, "Well," she raises her glass of wine for a toast, "Too an interesting evening and an after-party back in the bedroom?"

** GM Nina **
Cain and Nina finish their meal, clean up and prepare for their mission. Nina gets a nice little cloth bag the size of a pack of cards and puts the tiny micro-recorder(burst transmitter) in the bag and makes sure to put some foam padding inside.

Nina tests it by tapping it gently on the dining room table make sure that small scuffs and bumps will be quiet. Pleased with that done.. she meets up with Cain, "The target house is here in the CAS sector, they don't have an external security gate or company like Tyrone did at his place. Just suburban nice neighborhood."

Cain nods his head as they drive their stealthy van on over, taking his with all the tricked out things. "Thats good." He muses, "We can park somewhere around the corner." He says with a smile, glancing to her. "Going to leave ourselves in the van, can we get Morpheus or Trinity to watch over us?"

Nina nods to the suggestion of having the ally spirits watch over them, "I'll have Morpheus manifested in the van watching over us. Trinity will stay with us in the astral so she can help me with casting some of the spells. If I'm holding the shapechange on you.. it's going to make the laser spell more difficult to use."

"Thats fair." Cain agrees, smiling towards Nina. "And I wish I still had Abels shapechange foci." He murmurs, shaking his head slightly. "I can sustain invisibility and stealth on myself, once we get in there."

Nina nods to that, "I'll keep the standard mindlink going on us with a foci, and the shapechange on myself. The shapechange on you I have to sustain myself though." She gets out of her seat and into the back of the van, "Have Morpheus open and close the door for us after we fly out?"

"Sounds good to me." Cain agrees, smiling as he shifts to get closer to Nina. He starts to strip, save for the two amulets he keeps on their cord around his neck for his sustaining foci. "And yeah. Morpheus can let us in and out.

Nina nods to the plan, having looked over the drone recon video together and studied it and developed their plan of attack. She also strips down; getting buck neck'id in the van with Cain and taking her bracelet off to resize the leather strap and then hold it over her head for turning herself into a Raven before she prepares to do the same with Cain. She pauses to filter the mana first, finding fresh clean mana for the next while of castings.

Nina speaks in Enochian with a forceful voice, "Change me, mold me as I will!' and poof.. she turns into a raven, the bracelet falling around her feathered neck to become a necklace.

Cain watches Nina turn into the Raven, and he smiles to her. He waits his turn, shifting as he gets as naked as she is in preparation of the magic.

The raven caws and then looks to Morpheus and Cain. Unable to use Centering now (can't speak) she works the pure mana to cast the shapechange on Cain (sutaining herself, no foci).

Nina molds the magic, spreading it over Cain's body to work it's deeds upon his body.

Cain flutters his wings a few times, adjusting and getting comfortable once Nina has finished changing him.

Nina should have done this first… but forgot. She starts to work the mindlink spell.. a bit distracted by concentrating on keeping Cain as a Raven.

------> Shapechange / Transform <------
Shapechange
Type: P Target: B Duration: S Drain: +1(M)
Transform
Type: P Target: B Duration: S Drain: +1(S)
Shapechange changes a voluntary target into a normal critter, chosen
by the caster. The Threshold is equal to half the targets Body plus the
difference between the critters and the targets unaugmented Body
Attributes. (This difference cannot exceed the spells Force.) For example,
shapechanging a Body 3 human into a Body 8 tiger requires the spellcaster
to beat a Threshold of 6 [(3 #-1 FUNCTION (c) NOT FOUND 2) = 1, 1 + (8 3). Use the critter
statistics given on p. 19 of Critters. If the critter form being taken
has an Armor Rating, add the armor to Body for determining the Threshold.
A shapechanged character uses the critters physical Attributes and
their own mental Attributes, calculating Reaction and Combat Pool normally.
Shapechanged characters do not receive any extra Initiative dice (even
if the critter does), but they do get the critters Reach bonus, if any.
At the gamemasters discretion, physical attacks by a shapechanged
character may be treated as attacks with hand razors or spurs to reflect
claws and teeth.
The Shapechange spell does not transform clothing or equipment,
which may be ripped or destroyed during the change. Cyberware, paid for
with Essence, is transformed into the critter form but cannot be used in
that form. Shapechanged characters may cast spells and conjure, but they
cannot speak and are otherwise limited by the critters form.
Transform is a variant of Shapechange that can be used on involuntary
targets.

-----> Shapechanging Threshold Successes <-----

The Threshold is equal to half the target's Body plus the difference between the critter's and the target's unaugmented Body Attributes. (This difference cannot exceed the spell's Force.)

1/2 Body of Target (Nina: 3/2 = 1.5 round up): 2 + Difference of Critter & Nina's Body Attribute

Force 4 Shapechange Limits for Nina to use on self

-------> Mindlink <------—
Mindlink
Type: M Target: 4 Duration: S Drain: S
Mindlink allows two voluntary subjects to communicate mentally,
exchanging conversation, emotions and mental images. One success on the
Sorcery Test is enough to establish the link. The subjects must be within
line of sight of the caster.
Once the spell is cast, the subjects must remain within the range of
the sense, but may move out of line of sight.

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 6 + 4 (ally) vs TN 6 for "F1 Mindlink (Sustaining Foci), need 1 success. TN 4 + 2 (Sustaining Cain-raven)":

Cain watches patiently, shifting and fluttering his wings as he moves closer and watches Nina.

Nina's Mindlink,
Nina Raven caws gently, "Okay love.. ready for this?"

Cain caws back, before he nods and flaps his wings as he gets ready to move. He'd cast his own spells once they were on the roof and ready.

Nina's mind… linked with Cain's share thoughts, observations and quick mental images overlapped with their own personal sensations.. rather intense.

Paved driveway of target home
Burned down neighbors home from riot the night BillyBob was on the job.
IC Time: 1:00 am
Leaves have fallen off all the trees in the yard (front and back)
Front yard has 4 pine trees, back has 2.
All windows appear closed.
All curtains pulled shut
2nd floor window facing street (known to be the child's room) has faint lighting, probably a night light.
Back yard lacking any dog on the dog run.. must be inside.
Garage door closed.
Rooftop vent visible where BillyBob had used cutters to cut the wire back.. still not fixed (or likely noticed yet).. gap open large enough for rat entry.

Cains telepathy would question why there was a riot the night of Billybobs job, and why it resulted in a house being cut open.

Nina's Mindlink,
Nina raven thinks, . o 0 (There was a riot that started the next street West of here on that night where there was a 7-11 and some other stores.. it was a "Metahuman's lives matter" riot.. you know.. general maham, blaming the humans for everything any metahuman has ever had that wasn't great. It flowed over onto thei street. I didn't know the house got burned down until now.. that must of happened after we left the area).

Nina/Raven lands on the roof near the vent.

Cain nods his little avian head once he lands, flittering over towards the vent as he looks around the roof cautiously. <Cameras up here?>

Nina's Mindlink,
The shared mindlink immediately relays from Nina's mind to Cain that there are no external cameras on the roof that they found last time.

<Okay. You gotta change us back to change our fors again? Or can you just work it?> He asks curiously, getting closer to the vent.

Nina's Mindlink,
NIna raven thinks. o 0 (In theory I can work you from your current form into the Raven… I'll see if it works).. whispered throughts leaking through the mindlink that were private but can be sensed . o 0 (heehee.. fun messing with him, he's so adorable).

Cain can't help but smirk a little bit on the inside, even if it doesn't show on the Raven form. <Bat or Rat would be most useful.>

Nina's Mindlink,
Nina questions, "Which would you prefer?"

<Bat> comes back pretty quickly from Cains mind, <Been one before.>

Nina forms the magic in the astral and releases it over the Cain/Raven form.

«Plot» Nina says, "Casting F4 Shapechange on self.. into sustaining foci."

As Nina works the magic, Cains raven form hops towards, then tumbles down into the vent. Only for a moment. Soon, the clawed little feet and long wings of the bat guide him onwards, as he drags himself forwards into the vents.

Nina pulls mana in around herself and over her body, the feathers switching for fur as she shrinks. The small pouch she is carrying in her beak remains secure in the now rat/tooth grip as she drops to the shingles and then scampers up into the vent and tumbles forward … head of heals until the soft bat flesh softens her landing.

** GM Nina **
Studying the rigger video.. both Nina and Cain know what route to talke through the vents to get to the ground floor study.

Cain squeaks when the Rat lands on him, and he squeaks again before slowly starting to advance forwards. A bats eyes aren't much better then a humans in the dark, but this is mostly a move by motion kind of thing either way. He remembers the way to go.

** Nina Rat **
Nina-Rat follows after the bat and thinks across the mindlink, "This is so epic insane.. you are a bat.. and I'm a rat.. and we're in the attick of a precint police captain's home.. who'd of thought growing up this is what we'd be doing as grown ups?"

<I thought I'd be doing security.> Cain replies, and after a short trip they are outside of the grate overlooking the office. If there is light enough to see, Cain is having a look out over with his bat-eyes.

It looks like the rigger vid/photo shot witnessed before. Except rather dimmer.

Cain vanishes from sight and sound! Well, not for Nina. But he'd flutter over, and communicate. «Want me to take the package down there? You get the grate open?»

** Nina Rat **
Nina-Rat nods and hands the little strings of the velvet sack to Cain-Bat, "Sounds good.. this laser spell might me tricky.. wish me luck". She waits until Cain-bat has the bag and then she moves to the side near him and concentrates on the spiral metal screws pointing at her inside the wall and works on focusing her attention on the screws for the casting of this laser spell to cut off the inside of the screws that are holding the grating to the vent plate.

Cain clutches the thing in his little feetses, moving over closer to the grate as he gets ready for Nina to do her thing so he can stretch his wings and fly.

Category: Manipulation/Elemental
Target Number: 4(RC)
Drain Code: +1(DL+1)
Type: Physical
Duration: Instantaneous

-----> Spell Description <-----—

The Laser spell fires a beam of coherent light at the target that causes burning damage like a laser with elemental light effects (p. 52). Creatures allergic or vulnerable to sunlight take additional damage from this spell (p. 15, Critters). Nova is an area-effect version of Laser that creates a searing wave of intense light that sweeps over the targets.

Nina's Mindlink,

Bolt takes deadly damage, end sheered off with laser.
No drain

Nina concentrates and shoots lasers out her eyes, severing the ends of the bolts off and then nodding as if pleased after the lasers vanish. She moves forward and starts to push on the grate with a sigh . o 0 (I'm going to have to use levitate to push it out.. or magic fingers.. this rat is way too weak).

Cain leans his weight against the grate as well, but finding it too heavy he agrees. <Get it moving, and I'll fly out.»
** Nina Rat **
Nina-rat concentrates, this time on a levitate spell. Her magic fingers is very week in force, only that of a toddler in strength.

-------> Levitate <------—
Levitate
Type: P Target: 4 Duration: S Drain: +2(M)
Levitate allows the caster to telekinetically lift an object and move
it around. The subject of the spell can be moved anywhere in the casters
line of sight at a rate of speed equal to the casters Magic Attribute
multiplied by the number of successes (up to a maximum equal to the spells
Force) from the Sorcery Test in meters per turn.
The target number of the Sorcery Test is increased by +1 for every full
100 kilograms of mass of the object. Objects flung into other things are
considered to hit with a Damage Code of (Movement Rate #-1 FUNCTION (c) NOT FOUND 10)M Stun. Especially
sharp or dangerous objects may do physical damage at the gamemasters
discretion.
If the caster is attempting to levitate an item held by a living being,
the holder can make a Strength Test to resist the spell. The caster must have
at least 1 net success to levitate the item away. If the caster is attempting
to levitate a living being, the target may resist the spell using Strength or
Willpower (whichever is higher). You can use this spell to levitate yourself,
if desired.

F2 Levitate, success

Nina-rat pulls in mana and forms it into a powerful invisible hand in the astral world and manifets its influence to push the grate outward to allow the cain-bat to slip out… she keeps the spell held and active for his return so she can bend it back into place.

Cain flitters free! His wings soar him majestically like a defective furred rocket to hit the far wall, clinging with his little clawed feet as he gets comfortable. He settles there for a moment to look around, seeking out the bookshelf.

** GM Nina **
Target shelf clear in view.

Cain flies over to the shelf, scurrying across the tops of the books as he tries to find one with a lot of dust on it. Thats the one he tries to drop the parcel behind. «Just hiding it behind a book?»

** GM Nina **

Nina's Mindlink,

«Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 1 vs TN 7 for "Does dog random wander into the area?":

«OOC» Nina says, "Had to give a chance for the mission to go bad. :)"

<I've done it before."> The little bat moves, shifting to drop the thing where he thinks it'll go best. Then, he flies out, circling the room a few times to properly line up with the grate before he'd come soaring back into the vent, probably bouncing off the far side. Fortunately, he is stealthed so wouldn't make noise.

«You can leave me a bat. I can fly back to the van like this.» He'd help 'hold' the grate in place, or the screws, since his little bat claws are almost good enough for it.

With Nina having finished her spell, Cain flutters away relatively ungainly, but good enough to fly. Bats don't really do the glide thing, he has to kinda spastically flap his wings to get moving.

Nina-rat pulls in mana, morphs it to her desires and forms it around the screen to pull it back into place and bend it so that it's smooth again with the other part where it was cut with the wire snippers. With that complete she cleans up her astral signiture and then works to clear the sig of turning herself from a raven into a rat here.

** Nina Pigeon **
Nina takes flight following after the gangly bat path. Mental link with MOrpheus ensures he opens the door in time for them to fly inside the van.

Cains batflight is far less graceful then his raven flight, but he makes it into the van easily enough when Nina gets Morpheus to open the door.

Morpheus closes the door after they get inside.

Piegon-Nina lands with a flutter of wings and then moves to a safe place and turns into naked-Nina.

Nina drops the spell on cain-bat.

The naked Nina is soon having to deal with a naked Cain crawling up against her lap as he laughs softly, leaning over to give her a kiss. He doesn't mind Morpheus being there. "There we go! That went well!"

Naked Nina hugs and cuddles with Cain on the floor of the van, happy to be back in her human form and loving the feel of her man against herself, "What that rigger did.. actually made our job easier. If he hadn't been such a baby.. I'd think about floating him some cred as a thankyou."

"Oh, no. Screw him, we keep the cash." Cain says with a low laugh, moving to give Nina a kiss before he stirs. "Let me gets pants on so I can actually start driving." A pause, "… Or Morpheus, you okay to drive?"

Morpheus nods to Cain, "With the autopilot I can manage okay. Otherwise I'm not of much use. Mistress has not taught me that skillset yet. It's on her to-do list."

BillyBob pages: scurry wants whiskers to come back!
You paged BillyBob with 'I saw that post.. very sweet actually.'.

Nina cuddles up close to Cain, wrapping her long legs around him and holding herself tight to him, "Thank you Morpehus.. just a careful auto-pilot ride back home would be nice. Take the long way.. to make sure we're not being followed."

There is a grin from Cain, and he shifts against Nina as she wraps her legs around him. "Are we going to be distracted back here?" He says with a low chuckle.

Morpheus heads up to the drivers seat to engage the vehicle and get it into the autopilot mode.. and off the van slowly moves down the road.

Nina offers as she nibbles on Cain's shoulder with a playful gnaw, "Distracted? Heck no.. Trinity can watch for tails.. Me.. I'm fully concentrating on us."
