Grand Theft Auto: Wuxing Warehouse

GM: Ginny
Players: Ginny, Dr. North, Maja
Synopsis: Ginny, Chloe and Maja go steal Gin's van which her former employer confiscated off of imports
Date: October 22nd 2082, around 10 PM


It is time. Gin… somehow found which warehouse her prized Van was brought to. And so she shows up to pick the team up in… an Americar. Which actually has a functioning heater for a change. "Right…" she muses, leaning back "Think the cameras are easy to disable, Pink?"

When Ginny picks Maja up, it's on a street corner where she is standing and smoking a roll-up. She's wearing a slightly less revealing outfit today- the hot pants are still there, but over it she's wearing a biker jacket, two sizes too large. It has a red circle with a cat-o-nine-tails whip depicted within it on the back. She climbs into the car, lounging in the back seats.

"If I can get close to 'em, no problem." she says, holding up a hand which comes apart, parts of it folding in on themselves and flipping out to transform it into a mini electronics kit- screwdriver, wire cutters, soldiering iron, even multimeter probes. "If I can't get close to 'em, bullets usually work too."

At a wholly different street corner, Dr. North stands waiting too. She's wearing an all-black outfit consisting of a form-fitting fullsuit with a long vest tucked into a pair of loose-fitting black trousers, and a black jacket on top of that. She's also carrying a messenger-style bag that she takes off and puts in her lap after she steps into the Americar.

"Finally getting to it," the elven woman says with a grin. "Brought some stuff along that might come in handy. Hopefully my model of darts will fit in your pistol, Ginny." She also takes out a vial of liquid and offers it to Maja. "Gamma-Scopolamine. Just know, just in case."

Ginny nods, wearing her leather jacket, unusually casual "Thanks… black." she just offers "I… saw people referring to each other like that in an old movie." she stops "Although, considering how it ended for them…" she starts with a frown, driving them towards the warehouse "Maybe I should come with something else, but calling you by your names is a bad idea either…" she starts, looking at the hand with a grin, patting her jacket "That is certainly handy."

"Brought my own, but thanks." Maja replies to the Doc, then, and produces a plastic squeezable ampoule of her own. "Thanks for reminding me though." her hand goes back to normal, and she massages her wrist with a thumb for a few moments, working a concealed port from the seam in her cyberlimbs custom finish. The nipple of the ampoule is inserted, twisted to break the seal, and then squeezed to load up her internal reservoirs with gamma-scop.

"I know you said you didn't wanna kill them, so I'll do what I can." she assures Ginny. "Hopefully we'll get in and out quiet and it won't come to that, but my gun's loaded with gel incase things do get noisy." she adds. At Ginny's meandering statement, she says, "Go by Dolly on the job." she informs her- there's something a bit tighter, more professional about her than usual. "You two got comms? We ought to link them up." she suggests.

"Take it anyway," doc says and rather carelessly puts the phial down next to the razorgirl. The glass is presumably thick but it's still a very nasty poison. Then, she holds out her hand to Ginny. "Give me your dart gun, I'll load it up." She leans back and takes out her own dart pistol, ejects the magazine and begins to check for compatibility. "I have to admit, doing things quietly has never been my thing. I guess we'll see how this goes…" she says, biting her lower lip.
Ginny blinks, before facepalming "I KNEW I forgot something." she huffs, before looking back at Maja and nodding "All I have is a pager… should have asked the guy about comms…" she continues, before raching into her jacket and handing the dart gun over "I mean… I never even did a run…"

"Won't say no to free poison." Maja says, and takes the vial, putting it in an inside pocket of her jacket- which seems like a terrible idea, but since she currently also has it in little internal sacks inside of her body, probably not something that immediately concerns her. "I do quiet alright. Loud's usually more fun though, right?" Maja cocks a grin over at the Doc, and offers her a wink.

"So, no comms?" She says to the other two, "Well… that's fine. We can go shopping later." she suggests. "Guess we'll just have to holler for now." she says then, and settles back into her seat. "I'm ready to rock." she says then. "Unless you got any more deets on this warehouse we ought to know?"

The doc leans back in the backseat of the car, ejecting the mag on Ginny's gun and begins to load it up with dart. "Seems to work," she mutters to herself before loading it into her gun, racking the slide. She grins, "Yeah, the darts are up and running. Hopefully they won't jam up because of the wrong calibre or something." She hands the loaded dart pistol back to Ginny. "We'll just stick together I guess," she says and shrugs at the lack of comms. "It's not that big a warehouse, is it?" After the last words, she throws a gaze out the window to watch the neon-bathed streets outside.
Ginny stops as she parks the car behind the building "Standard warehouse, not too much security… even my clearance should cover it…" she pulls a card out "If they forgot to delete me, that is." she shrugs "I mean, they'll know it was me anyways. And… I think they got a shipment of TVs, maybe a computer or two. No super-secret world ending neurotoxins." she teases, moving the pistols back in "And no. Shouldn't be too big."

"I can handle maglocks too if need be." Maja offers Ginny, "So, we get in, find your van, load up anything worth fencing, and fuck off?" she wonders as to the plan. "I'll keep my eyes peeled for cams, cut them if I can. Will your ID spring an alarm if it gets bounced?" she wonders.

The doc grabs her absurdly long hair and undoes the ponytail, clenching a hairband between her teeth as she begins to tie it up into a tight bun that won't get in the way. "Prrhps bttr nt th uss the kiicrd" she says with clenched teeth before taking the ribbon out. "Since we won't be able to stay quiet for long, at least we better be fast."
Ginny stopsl, looking at the ID, opening and closing her mouth, moving it back "Goooooooooooood point." she offers sheepishly, blushing. "Yes… just cut maglocks." she repeats with a nod, looking into the window "There's nothng in the boot, is there?"

Maja shakes her head at Ginny, "Got everything here." She says. She unzips her jacket, her brightly coloured SMG stuffed inside of it in case it's needed. She peers out the window and scans the profile of the warehouse. "See a few cams. I'll see about shutting them down." she says, and then opens the door and slips out. She puts her hands in her pockets, and tries to keep herself out of the cameras' line of sight, or at the very least her face turned away from them as she approaches, keeping an eye out for anything that looks like it might be data or power lines feeding them.

The doc watches Maja get out of the car. She takes out an inhaler from her bag and takes a hit from it, coughing once as whatever drug she just took is kicking in. It quickly goes back in to the bag. "Alright, I've did bring a backup gun too in case there's something in there immune to Narcoject. Let's hope it won't be necessary." She then opens up the car door on the opposite side of the warehouse and gets ready to climb out.

Ginny nods, climbing out herself, pulling some electronics tools herself, as she hurries towards the door

Maja finds the line she's after and her hand shifts into its swiss army form once more. The fiber-reinforced plastic sheath is given a quick burst of laser light from her other index finger tip to soften it up, and then sliced open to expose the wires beneath. The signal line is found, extracted from the bundle, and severed. "Got the cams." she says- quietly, but hopefully loud enough to carry over to the doc back at the car. She creeps along the wall towards the Door where Ginny is working. "Any joy?" she whispers.

Dr. North comes running across the road once the cameras have been disabled. Still, the presence of cameras unnerves her a bit and she tries to stay out of the direction its pointing. "If they've got security staff on location they'll probably notice this camera is offline. We probably won't have much time before they sound the alarms."

Ginny frowns, the casing hanging off as she reaches for a wire, quietly cutting it, looking over, pushing the handle down slowly with a nod "Door down." she offers, waving Chloe over "Let's hurry! The Van is likely close to the garage door!" she continues, stairs right to the left of them

The door opens to a long hallway, dimly-ish lit. Mostly boring. Cheap art print here, wilted flower… sounds of a TV coming out of a leaning open door and… a guard stepping out, though he doesn't notice the team as he turns in the opposite direction. Meaning any storage is likely ahead.

Maja nods her head in agreement with North, "I'll take point." she suggests, being the most immedialy combative of the group, she opens the door slowly and then slips inside at the front of the group. Her razors *shnick* into place as she creeps in. She stays close to the door with the wall as she creeps along, stopping just shy of the doorway, she attempts to peek through it without exposing herself.

«Auto-Judge[]» Ginny (#14136) rolls 3 vs TN 5 for "Trying to notice Maja":
2 2 4 = 0 Successes

And inside the door Maja notices…. it is darker. Mostly because two guards are laughing at a movie running at full sound, some camera monitors below them, not noticed.

North stays back a little as she knows she isn't the most stealthy of people. She does peek in through the door and notices the guard. "Time to try out that dart gun?", she whispers to Ginny and takes out her gun, turning on the holo-optics and laser-sight on top of it.

Ginny blinks, drawing her pistol, biting her lip "Of course…" she mutters, raising her pistol to aim carefully

«Auto-Judge[]» Ginny (#14136) rolls Pistols vs TN 5:

2 5 8 = 1 Success

Ginny raises her pistol, taking a breath in and squeezes the trigger. Fwip! Fwap! Flyyyyyy and… right past his ear, tickiling the guard

The doc, after having turned her sights on, raises her foot and sticks it under a fixture on the wall, securing it in place. After that, she leans in through the door at a steep angle, only held in place by her foot, and raies her dart gun to aim. Maja can see the green laser sweep across the room, temporarily coming into vision as it passes through dust in the air, before it lands at the guard's neck. Then, the air-powered gun hisses and fires off one dart, that connects with the soft tissue of his cheek. The guard stumbles once in confusion, before the sedative kicks in and he falls over unconscious.

Maja ducks back, out of the line of fire, and then sweeps in after the dart lands- She catches the guard, one of her arms under one of his, the other wrapped around to cover his mouth until the drugs can kick in and leave him unconscious. She drags him to sit him up against the wall, and takes the dart out slipping it in a pocket. She beckons the other two, gesturing for 'quiet' and then '2' and then pointing at the ajar door leading to the break room. She sidles along to the door at the far end of the corridor, and peeks through to see what's on the other side.

There's columns, boxes and… a large mess on the other side, a bit hard to notice as there begins the warehouse proper. Including what seems to be the newest TVs right in front of Maja, some boxes of… boxes of instant Ramen and very faint footsteps somewhere back

Ginny tries sneaking over, her steps rather loud, possibly surprising the guards, gulping as she grips her pistol , tighter, looking back at Chloe, nodding as if asking her to quickly shoot as soon as they are back

«Auto-Judge[]» Ginny (#14136) rolls Pistols vs TN 3 for "Trying to shoot guards, partial light, point blank":

«Auto-Judge[]» Ginny (#14136) rolls 3 vs TN 6 for "Flump or not":
1 4 9 = 1 Success

Ginny takes a breath out as she braces her hand to shoot at a guard in his chair, the unfortunate target flumping over before he notices what hit him, the tall readhead letting out a sigh in relief

The doc, as athletic as she is, doesn't seem to have practiced the art of sneaking much, but fortunately the two remaining guards seem distracted and generally disinterested in their job. As Ginny takes down one of them with a syringe, she leans in through the door and aims on the other guy. Still in his chair, he's a sitting duck and a moment later, he gets a tranquiliser dart lodged in his neck. He just slumps in his chair, with barely a sound. "Alright, room clear." She says and gives a thumbs-up back to the others.

Maja blinks as the pair of them just take out the other guards. "Well if I'da known we was gonna just KO everyone I'd have lead with that." she grins over at the other two. "Check the cams, see if there's any with a field of view in there. I hear another guy, far away. Probably walking a circuit."

North sticks the gun back inside her jacket and holsters it. "It works, doesn't it?" She then heads over to the screens showing the CCTV feed, checking for anything potentially interesting. "Oh, and Red… remember those are just five darts in a mag. You've got two shots left."
Ginny nods as she tries moving over "Should we take him out?" she whispers, tilting her head, looking over "Could go for some ramen." she muses, looking at the boxes

Meanwhile, the CCTV Feed…. shows a guard walking a circuit indeed, seemingly on the other side of the boxes, but not much else. TVs, some random magical objects… "Got it… Black." she repeats

"I'll get him." Maja assures the other two, still at the door and peering around- waiting for her moment to strike. Her skates sneak out of her feet and click into place, she remains in a half squat, peeking around the door. And then suddenly she's off. She dashes towards the guard, placing one hand on a box she vaults over it and spreads her clawed hands wide. "Hi!" she calls out to the guy, face twisted into a wicked grin.

She lands on him, hands snap shut either side of his face, and she plants a kiss square on his lips complete with an exaggerated "Muah!" He topples, stiffly, backwards and she rides him onto the ground. Finally she lets him go- with his face still attached, if frozen in a visage of alarm, surprise, confusion and a little fear. Deep but not life threatening gashes ringing his face oozing blood.

«Auto-Judge[]» Maja (#14061) uses 1 of item 1: Gamma-scopolamine from Gear (#14211).

The doc stays in the control room, and catches a glimpse of Maja's unorthodox takedown method on the CCTV screens. She bursts out laughing, but tries to cover it up by placing her hand over her mouth. She walks out, dodging the unconscious guards. "Ehm, anyway. Let's go find your van."

Ginny blinks, having seen the takedown herself, before just pointing at a tiger-covered vehicle "Over there…" she stops, frowning at a map "Yes…. so, around the amulets, next to the scarves…" she begins with a frown "Let's go. I have the keys. And then we get the Stuff Dolly Wanted."

"Fuck up that CCTV console while you're in there, smash any chips you see, in case they're recording." Maja calls back to the doc. She goes about her usual ritual of rifling through the downed security guard's jacket, always on the lookout for a free pack of smokes and a lighter to add to her collection. "Pop the back, lets get some of these TVs in. We can move them easy enough." she tells Ginny, heading over to one of the boxes which she… lifts with surprising ease, given her slender- if tall- frame.

And there is! Some odd, imported smokes with a draon and… a Wuxing-Brand corporate lighter!

"Good call," the doc replies and turns back into the control room. She looks around for an implement to smash stuff, which happens to be a telescopic baton one of the guards had in his belt. She proceeds to whack the crap out of the screens and the computer next to it, after turning it over. "Hopefully that's enough…" she says to herself before tossing the baton aside and walking back into the garage where the others are. Then, she notices Maja loading up Trideos into the van. "Grabbing some bounty, are we?"
Ginny blinks, running over after she poped the back, groaning as she lifts it "Murf." she says, actually having difficulty lifthing it, looking over, nodding weakly towards the doc "Murgh-uh…"

"Might as well, it's right here. Let's be quick, though, dunno when there's shift changes or deliveries or any of that shit." she calls back, shoving the TV in, grabbing something else that looks valuable and near enough. "I'll get the roller." she tells the other two, and skates over to the main roller door, transforming her hand into a toolkit once again to see about overriding the lock.

North begins to rummage through what's around in the garage, grabbing a few odd tools and sticking them into her messenger bag. Then, as she notices Ginny struggling to lift, she walks over to help. "Give it to me," she says and takes over.
Ginny nods, looking arond "Thre should be something lighter." she muses with a frown, grabbing a scarf out of a box of scareves "Light and valuable…" she starts, looking at Maja "Should I start the engine?"

The screwdiver attachment is first, as well as a shim of steel she pulls out of one of her pockets. She works the shim into the seam of the casing, slides it along until- ah, there it is. With a little torsion, she pries the faceplate away enough to expose a security screw. It's unwound, and then the faceplate can be slid up and off. Next are four more regular screws holding the main body of the housing on. Whirr. Whirr. Whirr. Whirr. They're removed in short order. The housing is pulled away, and then one final screw securing the keyreader.

The parts are set down, now that the circuitry beneath is exposed. The probes get to work, testing connections, looking for specific voltages and resistances across connections. When the correct wires are identified, they are severed by the snippers, and then cross wired with deft attachments. The Garage door begins to roll up. "Alright, let's roll." she calls back to the others, skating back across the floor towards the Van to hop in.

After loading up the van with stuff, North gets in through the boot and closes the door behind her. "Let's hit the road, girls," she says with a chuckle before climbing over to grab a proper seat at the back. "Guess we'll have to go pick up the Americar later, so better be discreet"

Ginny nods, the interior of her van being an… interesting red velours, full of various amulets here and there, the steering wheel obviously on the right "I mean… I rented that one…" she starts, frowning "Better get it back before they notice. Shoulda picked another spot." she muses, driving them out of the garage

"Yeah, usually best to park away and hoof it." She says to the others. "I reckon that went alright." she says as Ginny starts getting therm out of there. "Take the van down to the Souk, we'll find some buyers for this drek there." she suggests, and then settles into her seat and takes out one of her new weird chinese smokes and lighter, to spark up with.

As North has found a comfortable seat, she leans her elbow against the car door and looks out the window, watching the warehouse disappear behind them as the van heads down the street. "Wuxing won't be happy about this… but actually, since we did klep a bunch of other stuff, maybe it won't be too obvious it was you taking your car back." She shrugs, "Still, we better keep a low profile the coming days. Find a secure garage for this thing and don't drive around too much in Asiatown or the Warrens. Just a suggestion." She leans back and pats down her jacket for a pack of smokes, but it seems she didn't bring any.
