Synopsis: The team meets up and discusses their plan of action, Cypher goes on a final matrix run to set everything up
Date: November 2070
THE MEET: Backroom of The Cool Cat
+spend 500=Cool Cat Back Room Rental
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) spends 500 nuyen for "Cool Cat Back Room Rental".
Knox is seated at the front of the conference table, laid out on the table in clear plastic are a pair of waiters uniforms. At the other end of the table a trideo is on and Mr. Terrific's face can be seen in the cross hairs of the video phone display, he's seated slightly too close blowing his head up a tad larger than it actually is.
Cypher enters quietly, moving to find a seat and settle down. He says nothing, merely looks around briefly before taking his seat.
Mr. Terrific appears to be in a changing room of some sort, the type for actresses…..or strippers. Thumping music sounds tinny in the background. He too says nothing for now.
The door cracks open slightly and Our Dear Friend, Mr. Charles, sticks his head in. "Ah, good, we're all here," he says as he enters fully, shutting the door behind him. Taking a seat immediately to Knox's left, he settles in and preens himself a bit while he looks expectantly at him.
Knox clasps his hands, "Good we're all here, so lets get down to brass tacks…..Cypher, how'd you make out?"
Cypher grunts "I got us put down with employment histories, and VIP passes. Should be good for any background check anyone does."
Mr. Charles pulls a small stack of index cards from his coat pocket and looks down at them, as if preparing to give a speech.
Mr. Terrific chimes in over the speaker, "We're fairly primed here, I've got some research as far as security for Menthe, and Bambi err I mean 'Cynthia' is ready for her big debut."
Knox nods at Cypher, "Good good, so you'll come with me for setting up surveillance then how do you want to go about taking care of cyber security?"
"I've got two options." Cypher remarks. "I can go in ahead of time, validate some accounts, and then login quickly afterward and just go in and mess with whatever I want. Or, if you need me physically for something, I can let my agent do the work for us with a simple cell phone call."
Knox muses, "Agents can do that? Well we'll need to have security camera's memory dumped, as well as monitor for any outgoing calls to Lone Star, and possibly locking out Menthe's detail as much as we can…"
Mr. Terrific chimes in, "Menthe's security detail's typically two to three bodyguards including what my sources tell me are another mage….I'll have my hands tied up with that."
Knox continues, "So I'd say maybe remote hack before hand and get everything validated and ready, then jump back in when you're with me to monitor all that as well as Bambi's Simsense feed. I'll be busy running the trideo camera, and taking glossies. Tasteful stuff.", the ork jokes.
Cypher nods "Alright that I can do easily enough. As long as there are no security deckers on duty, I shouldn't run into any problems."
Knox lights a cigarette, "I'd say considering the political tied affair there'll be someone on passive alert status waiting to see if any major changes occur…..Charles, you've been fairly quiet. What have you got?" he blows smoke through his nostrils.
Mr. Charles stares silently down at his cards for a few more seconds before looking up and responding. "Frankly," he says with a bit of a wince, "I'm not sure I like the idea of meddling in so many things. One security guard gets a whiff of something fishy and the whole op goes pear-shaped. I think we need to keep this as quiet as possible."
Cypher grunts "The whole op depends on if our girl can hook the man. I think that’s the weakest link in the whole chain. I don't like relying on someone’s ability to sweet talk."
Mr. Terrific interrupts, "She'll be there with myself as her date thanks to Knox's friend who's Johnson on this op. Bambi' got the goods…..it's hard to resist her charms uh aha-", in the background a topless Bambi is chewing gum loudly and comes out of focus into the background and starts putting on an outfit. "Hiiiiiiii." she says to the phone. Mr. Terrific shakes his head, "Of course I'll be using some of my own Talent to help push him toward her. But we'll need someone to distract his personal muscle nearby."
Knox looks to back and forth amongst the trio, "So what's the plan in general, other than being quiet which I assumed from the start. Obviously, should we draw any attention it's going to call to attention the video itself. Lets say Terrific plays pimp and gets Bambi, suppose Cypher and I are in with our ID's checked and I've got my cameras set up in the room and suppose….suppose Cypher has his hooks in the system…..what's the next step, Charles what are you planning?"
Mr. Charles, distracted by something, tugs at the mandarin collar of his armored shirt and stares off into space for a little while. Eventually he turns to Knox and says, "I suppose I'll be a floater, another pair of eyes in the room, technical support, so on and so forth. I'll need a clean ident to get through the front doors, my preference, or I can come in with the caterers."
Knox looks to cypher, and then at the waiter uniforms, "I believe we only have the employment history for the two ork waiters…and I only have two outfits I could get my hands on."
Cypher grunts "Does this hotel have a nice restaurant? I could put your name on the reservation list if you provide me with an identity. Even get you a room, give you a reason to be in the building."
Charles flips through his note cards briefly before replying. "Yes, ah, if you can concoct a passable false identity on short notice. I'd rather use a throwaway for this job," he says.
Cypher nods "I suppose I can rig something up for a one shot deal. I'll have my agent standing by to verify your SIN check when you get there."
Mr. Charles nods, "That is acceptable, I can use one of my identities so long as there's no record of it, which…on second thought, I'm sure you can easily handle."
«Plot» Cypher says, "Before, I'll validate an account and then that way I can login and use the account later."
«Plot» Knox says, " Ok, so we'll work on that before anything else: Can you give me a top 5 for what you plan on accomplishing… I need to write this up"
Knox nods to Charles, "Excellent Charles, I'm hoping you have some of that old charm saved for eliminating any potential threats pre-consummation."
«OOC» Cypher says, "Well. Login, Validate Account. Then I'll set my agent to monitor the SIN checks, and allow Normans Fake SIN to pass through. Then I'll need to be able to set the cameras to loop whenever we get started. To keep us from being recorded. Then to clear out Normans records as soon as we are done. Also disable any panic buttons in case something gets started. "I may just delete the video footage later, instead of looping it. Less chance someone notices something odd""
Mr. Charles doesn't reply, instead looking down at his note cards and frowning at them. This op is going in a direction distinctly different from where he would like, and it's making him uncomfortable.
Mr. Charles looks up from his lap with a raised eyebrow. "I…yes, what did you have in mind?" he asks, head cocked slightly.
Knox continues, "Well you said you'd be floating about….if rumors are true to your skill I won't need to worry regarding your presence." Knox looks to Terrific, "Following the sexual encounter we'll need you to put the man to sleep so I can collect the gear. You and Bambi leave together, Cypher and I will ditch the waiter wear for suits, and Charles can bring up the rear. Everything kosher? Speak now or forever hold your peace or bring something new to the table……I'm open to ideas as my job is the simplest."
……The meet wraps up with some basic and very risky ideas. Mr. Terrific logs offs, Charles leaves to prepare for his part, Knox makes a trideo call to the Johnson on the trideo: A balding male AmerInd dwarf in a wheel chair and with large silver chromed eyes, Knox connects a data cable to his data jack and commutes silently. Cypher prepares for his own run…..
MATRIX RUN PART II: Decking The Westin

«OOC» Cypher says, "Take a look"
«Plot» Knox says, " Secondly how are you logging onto the Hotel via Satlink you said yea?"
«Plot» Cypher says, "Satlink yes"
«Plot» Knox says, "Hell this ought to bee a cake walk considering the average system I got designed lol"
«Plot» Knox says, " All right, first roll is to log onto the Satlink, TN8-programs (please list your program if you can in the ~)"
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 for "4 HP to DF, MAsking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.":

«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 3 vs TN 12 for "CAS.RTG White IC":

«Plot» Knox says, " Ok, lets get a pose of you logging in through all those areas and coming upon the Westin's node on the Denver CAS grid as you already have it's LTG number (its published plus Knox gave it to you). The hotel looks like a ritzy hotel from the 1920's completewith dozens of light bulbs and, red velvet wearing bellhops, and gilded frames around the squat black cube of the database."
  Cypher settles down in his apartment, and jacks into his deck. It takes a few moments to align his dish up with a sat and then he vanishes into cyberspace. He hovers in the entrance to the Sat grid, and raises a hand to wave it at the doorway. A few lights change color and then the door opens and he steps into the grid. He takes a moment to locate the CAS Grid, then quickly travels towards it, facing another doorway. He waves his hand once more, and a few lights flicker and the door opens. Stepping onto the CAS grid he brings up the listing for the Westin's node, and then hurtles forth in that direction. He appears at the outside of the hotel, it looking like a ritzy building. He walks around to a side entrance and then alters his icon slightly to appear like a security guard for the hotel, then starts for the door.
A genial bellhop floats over. "Hello GUEST_ and Welcome to The Westin! Denver’s premiere hotel for the business traveler or leisure lover! How can I help you? Would you like to book a room?"
«Plot» Knox says, "Logon to Host base TN11 - deception utility (please include the +roll pistols+kp:2/TN for successes)"
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 vs TN 5 for "4 HP to DF, MAsking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.": 1 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 8 = 6 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 5 vs TN 12 for "White Ice": 1 1 3 4 17 = 1 Success
The bellhop rezzes in and out for a milisecond. "Yes, welcome and thank you for choosing Westin." The icon leaves you alone.
«Plot» Knox says, "Next action?"
Cypher smiles at the Bellhop and then simply walks into the Westin, looking around. His next step is to walk over to an information terminal, and try to conjure himself up a ID for the building security.
«Plot» Cypher says, "Validate Super user Account"
«Plot» Knox says, " All righty super user man, Validate is at a +6 so it's 16TN"
«OOC» Cypher nods "Ok, I'll super user, then figure out if there is another host, and I'll get in there and super user there too
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 vs TN 10 for "4 HP to DF, Masking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.":1 1 2 2 2 2 3 4 4 4 4 5 7 7 11 14 = 2 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 5 vs TN 12: 2 3 4 5 5 = 0 Successes
«Plot» Knox says, " You are the man in this host (Green-5) pose away"
Cypher quickly creates himself an ID badge and places it on his shirt. After that he walks behind the counter and starts accessing the computers to see whats what in here. He scans through some information and smiles "Ahh, so I've got another system, ohh well." He locates the security host, and then heads off in that direction.
«OOC» Cypher says, "Ok, Login to Security Host"
«Plot» Knox says, " TN14 please"
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 vs TN 8 for "4 HP to DF, MAsking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.": 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 8 10 11 = 3 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 8 vs TN 12: 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 = 0 Successes
Cypher makes his way through a few doors, then finds one thats locked up fairly tight. He quickly works at a pad next to the door, imputting a few codes until the door unlocks and he steps into a security room, video monitors lining the walls.
Before you is a security desk layout of various cameras, hardcopy printers, levers, and switches. In the far off corner is a sleeping security guard and his trusty (and asleep) watchdog.
«Plot» Cypher says, "Validating Superuser Account!"
«Plot» Knox says, " TN19 for superuser access hurrah"
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 + Karma Pool: 1 vs TN 13 for "4 HP to DF, MAsking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6. KP:1": 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 = 0 Successes

The security guard lifts his police cap a bit and scans the room with one eye shut…
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 8 vs TN 12 for "White IC": 1 3 3 4 4 4 8 9 = 0 Successes
The security guard shrugs and goes back to sleep.
Cypher moves over to a terminal, and tries to take control, of course, all he gets for his efforts is a loud Buzz and a Denied across the screen. He frowns, and tries again.
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 vs TN 13 for "4 HP to DF, MAsking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.": 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 10 11 11 11 15 = 1 Success

«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 8 vs TN 12 for White IC: 1 1 1 2 4 5 8 10 = 0 Successes
.
«OOC» Knox knocks on wood. EVIL WOOD.
Cypher types on the terminal again, and this time he gets an Access Granted. His icon changes slightly, and becomes a mirror of the security guards uniform. He looks around and smiles.
«OOC» Cypher says, "Ok, so, I can access the cameras and everything. Do I need to do anything in preparation, or will it be done during the run mostly?"
«Auto-Judge[]» Knox (#4448) rolls 1 for "Days the pass codes stay active": 5
«Plot» Knox says, "Pass codes stay active for 5 days"
«OOC» Knox says, "You should book the ID for Norman now, anything else you want to do is up to you at this point. :)"
Cypher looks around, then steps out of the security room and heads back to the front desk. He sets up a reservation for dinner at the restaurant, and a room for Norman. He also makes sure to double check the system that verifies peoples SINs, so that he can spoof it when the time comes.
«OOC» Knox says, "Who's the reservation for?"
«OOC» Cypher says, "Reservation is for one of Normans Fake SINS, I'll delete everything afterwards"
«OOC» Knox says, "Got it. Anything else you want to take care of or graceful logoff for now and we can wrap up here?"
«OOC» Cypher says, "Graceful Logoff"
«OOC» Knox says, "TN 14-program (access)"
«Auto-Judge[]» Cypher (#3540) rolls Computers + Hacking Pool: 6 vs TN 8 for "4 HP to DF, Masking Mode, DF is 12. Program Rating is 6.": 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 7 9 10 10 = 3 Successes
Cypher looks around, then simply steps out of the Westin and back into the trix itself. A moment later he is un-jacking from his head and coiling the cable up to put it away.
……Jacking Out………
Past Events:
Mr. Terrific has prepped Bambi for the run, Cypher has hacked the Westin and planted validated sysop accounts….he's basically large and in charge of the whole system. Norman has an ID readied to use for the Westin to get in, Mr. Johnson has provided cover identities and a room for Mr. Terrific & Bambi: Raymond and Zelda Chandler. Knox and Cypher have catering uniforms and ID's and will set up the proper spying equipment.
And now……one hour before the run goes down. The place: Back room of the Cool Cat.
Knox is fixing his wait staff outfit in a hand held mirror.
Cypher grunts, and works with his outfit. "I'm not happy with this plan, but, ohh well." He looks down, smoothing his uniform.
«Plot» Knox says, "Free Pose, I'll also need a brief list of any equipment you'll be carrying on your person."
«Plot» Cypher carries, nothing but his uniform and the surveilance gear. No need for a weapon or anything, just go in, plant the stuff, get out. His deck will be stashed in a vehicle nearby to return to and perform overwatch.
Mr.Terrific says "I, personally, am a little unsure as to how to make the necessary introductions and how best to 'prime' the target. A lot depends on randomness. But I'll give it my best shot."
Mr. Charles, impeccably turned-out as always, stands in the corner and fiddles with his palmtop computer.
Mr.Terrific commonly carries a concealed heavy pistol and expandable baton, but if he knows there will be security, he will simply wear completely legal armor.
Announcement: Mirage shouts "addcom auc=Auction"
You paged Mr.Terrific with 'Roll to me intelligence, open test'.
«Auto-Judge[]» Mr.Terrific (#7242) rolls Intelligence (to Knox):
1 3 3 5 7 11
«Plot» Mr. Charles says, "FFHS, armored long coat. Scanner, 1x retransmitting microrecorder, 1x vial Sodium Pentathol."
p You realize the best possible way to intoduce yourself is the "pre-arranged spill" Situate Bambi next to the target Mr. Menthe, you walk by and bump her casuing her drink to spill on Mr. Menthe. Instant conversation starter.
You paged Mr.Terrific with 'You realize the best possible way to intoduce yourself is the "pre-arranged spill" Situate Bambi next to the target Mr. Menthe, you walk by and bump her casuing her drink to spill on Mr. Menthe. Instant conversation starter.'.
You paged Mr.Terrific with 'He's anti-metahuman, though privateley rumor has it he's into them sexually.'.
«Plot» Mr. Charles says, "Yes."
«Plot» Cypher says, "Yes"
«Plot» Cypher says, "Ohh, I'm wearing FFBA under the uniform, as best that does for me"
Mr.Terrific discusses it with Knox and Bambi, and comes up with a likely scenario.
Mr.Terrific pages: I tell Bambi that I will likely be asking her to make herself scarce after she makes the spill - that means back up to the room. Especially if she's a little spilled on too.
; looks to Cypher, "Suggestions for plan alterations?" He checks his comm and tests it.
Knox looks to Cypher, "Suggestions for plan alterations?" He checks his comm and tests it.
«Plot» Knox says, " T, if you don't have a comm I can lend you the spare I have."
Cypher shrugs "Rent a room next door, make a small hole in the wall, feed a camera through. Not the best, but definatly the safest option."
«Game» Backup to offline storage commencing. Game may freeze for a bit…
«Plot» Mr.Terrific says, "That would be good. I need a good comm."
