Knocking off a Cyberclinic

GM: Nate
Players: Nate, Orpheus, Alice.
Synopsis: Nate gets Orpheus and Alice together, with a run fed to him by a contact of his to steal from a corporate cyberclinic.
Date: Sat Feb 20 10:45:44 2070

Alice is sitting on the back end of the ambulance while McLovin is restocking its contents with something from one of those Doc-Wagon certified supply places. Though, things are pretty quiet right now on the CAS side. While the poor night-one woman works herself silly, carting boxes and other life saving paraphanelia into the vehicle, Alice just files her nails!

Mclovin chides, "You know, you could really do something productive, like help me or call your friends to do that thing, you know?" she sighs!

Orpheus'll show up outside Nates door and ring the doorbell. He brought his gear upon request, which he carries in a nondescript duffel bag. Ring ring. Ring ring. "Oi! Open up…." Orpheus complains through the intercomm. Itchy itchy… Yeahh, stealin' shit. Oh yeah. Win. FULL OF. Gief nao.. Mmm. THIEVING.. I LIKE TO TAKE PEOPLES THINGS WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Alice sighs and then suddenly twitches, jumps up, "I gotta go! I don't have time to do that thing! Sorry, McFurry! Kiss you later! I swear!" Then, she escapes out the back garage door while McLovin rolls her eyes.
Later That Same Day, About sometime after Orpheus shows up at Nate's place, Alice somehow finally figures out where the hell she is going, getting to the Z level of the McAffrey B tower, because Z is for Zebra.

Nate answers his door and let's the mexican boy and the Mime girl into his apartment. The door is closed and the entertainment system plays some music decently loud, just in case. But these apartments are pretty cool anyway. "So, clinic with some swish betaware is due to open soon. I reckon it'd be a good spot to get some nice gear." Nate speaks, to explain why he brought these two here.

"Sweet," Orpheus replies in the accent of his native land. EL MEXICANO. Though he hates that term. He prefers 'Spanish' or 'Aztlan'. REPRESENTIN' YEAAHHHHH. "I like this. Is nice.. Go steal some shit. Except now I don't have to hand over the goods to someone when I'm done." Grin grin. Yes.. No superior to take the spoils. ALL MINE. "Where is this place and what we know about it?"

Alice is bringing up the rear of things indeed, eyeing the MexiCANT… but possibly not realizing that he is one, not yet, since he has the hoodie and the whole elfy thing going for him. She grins impishly toward Nate while she has a black canvace brief bag slung over the shoulder of what looks to be the business casual reporter style clothing that she wore during last run. Had to… liek, get past tower security! Somehow. She talked her way into the building though, since she is like, sinless. Yeah. God damn UCAS!
Hearing Nate totally gets her eyes going wide, happy, but then she looks over toward Orpheus as he speaks in his mexicano accent! With him Revealed, Alice growls like a little freakosaur, and she forgets for a moment the BETA. LOL.

Orpheus sort of feels this… radiating emnity coming from Alice. He glances her direction when she growls.. looks.. Looks back at Nate.. then Alice… Nate. "So.. Who is she, an' why is she growling at me an' looking like she wants to stab my eyes out?" He turns and faces Alice now, looking her over more carefully. "Wow, you are like a what they call uh.. Amazon. Fuck your tall," he says. She was taller than Orpheus after all. By at least 2-4 inches. "Crazy hair, chica. I like it! Yeah.." He turns back to Nate. "This your girlfriend or something? She's pretty wild!"
Orpheus was without social shame or skill.

Nate shrugs and sits back, letting the two of them work this out before getting into the meaty run details.

Alice turns her growling into clearing her throat and then she reaches her free hand up to adjust her tie. Yes, she was wearing a tie. Cause, y'know women are allowed to do that if they want to. Anyway. She stops growling after her height is mentioned, and then she raises an eyebrow and glances down at herself before looking back up, well, not all the way, but some of the way, at Orpheus there. "Huh! You like my hair? That's so nice. Nicer than anything Hutchy ever said to me!" She says in a cute emo voice, much different than the growling previous, and also a pretty bad lie, probably, too! Glancing over at Nate when Orph asks if Alice is his woman, she shakes her head vehemently!

Orph nods, "Oh, right. My bad. Didn't mean to imply you were having sex together an' all that," he concedes. After some more consideration, he decides Alice is alright and he can work with her. She's kinda crazy and he sorta likes that. "You are alright Chica! I don' say that about a lot of girls cuz they tend to piss me off but not you. Thats good cus we are going to work together looks like. You like stealin' shit too?" He looks back to NAte now. "Give us the rundown Mano!"

Nate frowns, "That's a big lie Alice, that's not the nicer than anything I ever said to you." Then he grins and motions to the sofas here, "Siddown then, let's get down to it."

Alice starts to do that barely repressed laughter with twitch thing. "Well, you seem pretty okay for a spick!" she tells Orph and then moves over toward the couches while speaking more, "Oh, yeah! I love stealing shit! Seriously! Do it all the ti—" but then pauses and looks at Nate and then squints faintly before then saying, "Oh, yeah. I just remembered!" Lies. But, anyway, she sits her ass down and then gets all comfy there. "READY!"

Orph plops down on the couch as well, and gently corrects Alice. "I'm not a spic! I'm hispanic. They contain the same letters but you say them in the wrong order," he says, grinning. "But whatever! Stealin' some stuff sounds great.. I've been fucking bored all week. You have any idea how boring it is prepare for a week-long meditation?" He groans, leans back in the comfy sofa. "So anyway, you was sayin'?"
Silently waits and listens now.

Nate nods, "Ok, now we've got all the racial hatred out of the way, let's get on with it. I've been told by a contact of mine that there's this new clinic opening up in the UCAS sector, some subsidiary of a hospital or something. Anyway, it's a corp control, and it's brand new, cutting edge, and it's going to be crammed with brand new cyberware just ready for the plucking. There's gonna be security and stuff, we need to handle that, and a get away from the scene pretty swift if we trip an alarm, but other than that, should be pretty easy."

Alice scoots over toward Orph, sitting more near him but not touching, while she still watches forward toward Nate. She grins some while listening, and then she says, "Oooh, corpuzcristies.", but only after Nate finishes… to be all polite, right? Anyway, she readjusts the tie again before saying, "which corp are we talkin here?"

Orph listens and he likes the sound of this. Mmm.. Stealing.. Mmm. "Nice, this is going to be good security, then, yeah? Corp security. Fucking.. sweet. Do we know anything about the facility or do we gatta go scope this shit out?" Orph doesnt seem put off by Alices close proximity. PErhaps hes so wholly consumed and excited by the prospect of nicking some cyberware he isn't taking notice.

Nate shrugs, "Should be an Ares clinic, they're doing this grassroots look at us helping the community thing. But it's just a show and a cover. So yeah, Ares security force maybe, maybe just rent-a-cops. The place isn't open yet, just being stocked up and such like."

Alice grins slightly before leaning back to lounge in the most open and carefree pose she can manage, one leg crossing over the other while she lets the canvas briefcase style bag rest down onto the couch on the far side of her away from Orph. Her free hand moves her black and blue hair back a bit past her pointed elven ear, and then she digs in the briefcase thing with this free left hand reaching across her body. She pulls some cables outta there. "MMM, Ares! Got the street names? I'll call a few peeps."

Orpheus nods. "Sure thing.. Sure thing.. Well, if you don' mind, I'm going to go scope the place out then, kay? My comm frequency is 133.70." He also hands you his cell number.. Then, he stands up, stretches a bit, grabs his duffel, and prepares to simply move out straight away just like that. He gives the others a chance to add any comments before he goes though..

Nate nods, "Uh yeah, it's on New Port and East 54th. Near the Sioux sector border. Still UCAS though."

Alice quickly sots the end of her splitter cable up into her hair, and the other two split ends are hooked into the tactical comm unit and the BANANA PHONE, which can conveniently stay inside the bag. Yay, transducers.
"133.70." she repeats, and then takes the cell number on whatever paper it is that she was handed, memorizes it and mentally jots it down, and then she tears the tiny paper up, mousing it to death, letting it drip little paper flakes onto the awesome carpet in hur! "New Port and East 54th!" And then she nods, as if she were set for whatever it is she is gonna do… Sit there.

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "CHECK"
Silent vocally, electronically transduced. SKIPPY!

+ Contact Tests
+ Orph's Sin Check

Alice closes her eyes and seems to be being lazy on Nate's couch there while in the reality of things, she is mentally calling her fuzzy buddy MCL!

You paged Alice with 'McLovin heard about this thing yeah, there's a bit of a stir about it in DocWagon because of the competing clinic and stuff. Maybe Ares are going to open a subsidiary corp in direct competition. There are this series of new > clinics opening up all over the place, they are FULLY STOCKED baby, and Ares aren't going to let them get knocked over easy.'.

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "McLoooovin says that she heard a little bit about this, that there was a little bit of a stir in DocWagon about this because it is a competing clinic. She speculated that maybe Ares could be planning to open a subsidiary corp in direct competition of them. Who knows! There are a series of new clinics opening up all over the place, and she says they are FULLY STOCKED… baby, and Ares aren't going to let them get knocked over easy… which leads me to personally believe that we are like, gonna have a ROUGH RIDE!"

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "I suggest that we have a decker on hand. I have… an ex… ugh, who is just awesome at decking even if he is an ASS monkey."

Orpheus heads on through the CAS/UCAS border check after spouting off his birthday, place of birth, ect ect ect.. Once that big of tomfoolery is over, he heads towards the place in question, keeping his phone ready to recieve any new intel from his teammates.. He takes this time to slip on his ruthenium cloak and all that.

Commlink-MELF> Alice also adds then, "That sound cool wit you allz? He might want some of what we are gettin, too, he is kinda wared."
Commlink-MELF> Alice tosses all of what she said via cellular devices, TOOZLE.

Nate just nods to Alice as she comms, even though he's right in the room, though he is over there in the kitchen pouring juice.

Alice is all like, lazy, keeping her eyes and mouth shut while lazying.

+ Orph's Stealth Check
+ Orph's Perception Check

You paged Orpheus with 'Alright, first the building is a big square ferrocrete block. No windows. Big doors, double, look like glass. Security desk inside, general standard reception area layout. It's large though, really big. There is a guard in there > too, even though the place isn't open yet. There are cameras. Everywhere. You know, if you were in charge here, there'd be a central security office with the elec security routed to, a decker or two on call there to cover all the trix stuff, etc. > All in contact with a HTR team on nearby call.'.

Orpheus returns on his comm and talks to the others now after he lazily meanders around the premises and gets a good scope of the place.. »Well, cameras every-freakin'-where sfar as I can see.. Looks like a standard layout.. Guards in the fronty with an on-call team.. They will have some security deckers for sure.. Decent level of security overall.. We'll need a decent plan to crack into the place.«

"Hutchy should get me a drink", Alice phones Orpheus and comms Nate, while staying vocally silent in the real world. "Cams… hmm, maybe my ex… EWW… can handle the cams. I'll see if he can get a layout, too, and a plan of attack, er, action… hehehe, started! WOo" Esan gets a phone call!

+ Alice's Contact Check

You paged Alice with 'He goes out and finds that it's an Ares facility, a cyberlcinic, pretty swish, planned to have a research department as well as 2 clinics. One for paying customers and one for offloading used ware and basic ware onto those > poor people with some insurance.'.
You paged Alice with 'The floor plan is that it's a square block. He can't get a detailed labeled one, just a basic rooms one.'.
You paged Alice with 'And he'll stick around for a bit of ware, keeping the trix security wondering what the hell is going on.'.

Alice turns much more somber than her usual self while she is quiet and on the phone with her ex fiance. It is probably a good thing that it is not able to be overheard because it is not exactly the most nice of exchanges, one of the only contacts to which she totally shafts her pride to get shit done. Mmhmm.

Nate pours three drinks for when Orpheus gets back and goes and sits down again. "Sounds like they have a solid security set up." He doesn't know that Alice is on the phone again after all.

Orpheus returns the way he came once he's done checking out all he can. His end of the legwork is done for now as it stands. When he returns, he flops back on the sofa next to Alice and sighs. "Yup.. Yup.. Should be fun! We should start on a plan right away.. Here, I take some pictures and video feed too.." He'll share that around on datacubes.

Nate takes a cube and sticks it into the swish entertainment system here embedded in the wall, the information then flashes up on the big trid screen. "Hmm, this looks good. Great."

Alice finishes tying up the loose ends of what she wants with Esan, and then she finally opens her cybernetic eyes, "Fag says this is a pretty swish cyberclinic, planned to have a research department as well as 2 clinics, one for the paying elite customers, unlike us, and one for offloading the used ware and basic kind onto poor folks with some insurance. Motha Uckas. And… apparently the floor plans are not available, but it is a whole square block. Can't get the detailed ones. He'll stick around and try to keep the trix security wondering W T F, and I am pretty sure he can do it, for a bit of the ware we snag. Something all trixy… is what we should get him, prolly." She basically recites things as if she were reading from a book, most of her usual spunk being somewhat lost in a psychological abyss. She looks over toward the big screen with a semi distracted gaze, "Welcome back, Mister… what's your name?"

"Orpheus," he tells Alice. Obviously not his real name, but it was a name he carried very well all the same. Orpheus.. seems strangely fitting actually. God of the night. God of orphans, which Orpheus looks like he well could be one himself. Admittedly a very well-trained, deadly, cyberized orphan who likes to steal cigarettes from stuffer-shack and pilfer things from corporate facilities. "Oh man.. this is going to be fun, I can feel it.."

Alice nods some, "Good to meet you. I'm Alice Danger Girl Freakosaur." or something. "Yees, fun. Hold on, while I do some unfunning with the ex…" and then she rolls her eyes back into her head for dramatic effect and then does the whole staying quiet and still thing while performing phone message, "HEY! We need pix of the top of this building from sattelite view! Can you do that for us plix?"

You paged Alice with 'Esan trixmails it to your phone, a single still image, not great resolution centered on the building roof.'.

Alice gets up finally and moves with her bag over to the telecom and the does the whole jacking into it with another splitter cable and transports image of the building top. On the roof, there is a helipad, one one half, and then another story or maybe more…? on the other half. The resolution is of not very awesome resolution, so it is hard to tell. But, definitely there is a path between some of the shrubs and shit up there that gets to the level door?

Orpheus nods.. nods. "Sweet. I suggest going in through the top. I gots climbing gear and an extra harness or two. No problem.. We sneak in through the top and like go on through doin' some shit and dodging security til we get to clinical storage! Alright.. Fantastic.."

Nate nods, "Looks good, means we can probably get to the roof of another building pretty easily. Not too much security."

You say "I suggest we get some balaclavas that distort facial features and throw those face changing masks over the top of those."

Alice actually starts to come out of the horrible awful somber mood, and her metallic blue cybereyes sparkle, as she looks over toward Orpheus and then just beams him with a *PING* white grin. "I like that idea. Though, y'know, what kinda shit can we all do? I got a balaclava, but I don't have any of the polymasks about which Nato is speaking there. I know a little bit about the electronics and how to crack em, though, just a bit. Anyone else better?"

Orpheus shrugs. "I've never broken a maglock in my life, but I totally got this guys," he promises. "I'm really intuitive, you see.. I mean everyone knows if you cross the .." He spouts off some inane techno-babble here.. ".. Then it'll switch to open-loop, right? Right. I GOT THIS. Say.. Once we get inside, we going to have overwatch support? Someone to shut off any alarms for a while mebbe?"

Alice grins some, "That mother fucker I got on the phone is overwatch, probably gonna help us with the security system… shutting off the alarms, k." and then she puts Esan on hold cause he's just not talking and probably doing some video game while he waits for the meat people to get themselves in order.

+ Nate buying Balaclavas.

Alice calls Lucy on the other line and is like, "Ma'am, I know you do not normally let me buy your running gear, but I just need to borrow some of those awesome polymasks? Could I get me some of those? Need 3 for temp."

+ Alice Contact Checks.

You paged Alice with 'She gets back to you and says you can, but if you damage them you bought it.'.

Nate gets on the phone and arranges for a couple more balaclavas to be delivered to him from Mr. Li. "The balaclavas are gonna take 4 days. WE got some more time to make this plan perfect from what we have."

Alice glances over toward Nate and then thanks Lucy and then gets to writing up a plan of attack with her buddies, talking it over with em!

+ Alice SUT's.

Orpheus totally chills out and hangs around while we plan and stuff. He does no cooking cus he cant cook for shit, and in fact.. he doesn't do much of anything but offer his own droll style of witty hispanic banter.
Of course, he also broods along with the others on a plan.

+ Orph Defaults to Int.

Alice is pretty good about keeping upbeat, even though she has her ex on the phone to relay plan of attack to him. Esan is pretty much a curmudgeon, so he does not have much to add. Hey, it is not his meat body out there.
She does not really try to do any cooking herself, either, just raids the hell out of Nate's fridge, cause it is there, and cause it is Nate. Cause Alice has some kind of psychological thing that says she can do whatever the hell she wants in his home!!!

Nate and Alice buy A/D harness's costing 75 nuyen each.

HAHA YEAH. Going to drive the SUV through the border! Orpheus loved stealing the SUV off of Slinger when he got a chance. Inside was a HANDY DANDY little storage space large enough to pack a human-sized person. A person like Alice, the SINless. YEAH. Alright. Fantastic. "AWESOME! Now we get to carry her through, come back, get out stuff, and come back a second time! YEAH!"

Nate starts collecting stuff together, "You got the SUV in the parking garage? Good, let's get all our stuff down there. I'll watch it while you drive Alice over to the UCAS."

Orpheus follows along with that and soon gets the three down to the parking garage. He opens the doors to the SUV and shows Alice the little stuffy compartment, nodding. "There it is! Go on, then! Plenty of air in there with your little breathing thingie."

Alice makes sure the others know how to get her gear and shit, and she does all the awesome riding with a minirespirator in her mouth in the compartment and trusts them not to leave her in there for longer than an hour…!
"If I die before I wake. Feed Jake!" —Alice before getting sealed in.

+ Orph's Border into UCAS.

Orpheus laughs to himself. "Haha! Whose Jake?" he wonders and just locks the door. Alright then! Now.. Orpheus slips into the drivers seat and gets the car started. "Alright.. Be back soon enough yeah. Don't forget to feed Jake then!" VROOM VROOM.. And away to the border. When hes stopped he pokes his head out the SUV, illegal, Sinless Alice meters away..
"Wassup compadre? Oh what? My birthday? Oh well it's…" Yadda yadda.. ect ect. After ten minutes of talking bullshit hes finally let go and drives into the UCAS. He gets to a nice secluded area and parks the SUV, getting out and opening the little cubby hole. "Hey there, you didn't think I'd keep you locked in there did you?" Hehe.

When the door opens, Alice groans and then finishes up what she was going to say earlier, even after the whole drive here, "Jake, he's a good dog!"

Nate sits on a pile of bags in the parking garage of the McAffrey towers, waiting for his ride into the UCAS.

Alice totally gets out of the compartment and then finds somewhere to hang and wait for the rest of the team. She sings, "Born in the UCAS!"

Orpheus winces a bit, "Never met a 'good' dog before. Most of them get angry when I'm around and yell at me. Sometimes I shoot them.. Sometimes I immolate them; it all depends ya know. WELL! Going to go get Nate now. Cya chica!" VROOOOOOOM and hes back through the FTZ and back to the towers and picking up Nate. He pulls up and says, "Alright lets get this shit loaded up!" Wheeeeee.

Nate loads the shit up into the car and seals that shit up again, all those illegal guns and climbing gear and ammo and shit. Yay chemical seal. "Alright, let's get over there and get moving huh?" He jumps up into the passenger seat and gets ready to ride.

VROOM VROOM SKREEEE and the SUv pulls out of the towers and back through a DIFFERENT border check cus he doesn't want the same guards spotting him again and asking questions like 'Why are you going through the border so many times' or anything pesky like that.. Once they are through, he drives back to where he dropped Alice off and parks again, getting out and stretching. "Alright, yeah.. See? Wasn't that fun? I love trafficking SINless people through borders with my illegal SIN! It's so much fun YES. We should do it again sometime.. Alright, now, lets get our shit.. and go steal someone elses Shit."

Nate frowns, "I'm not SINless! Anyway, get in, let's drive this shit round to the parking garage under that office building nextdoor and get moving."

Alice grins as she meets up with Nate and Orph again, "Yeah, he's not sinless… he's done a lot of bad things." and then she laughs! Alice grabs all her shit and slings her duffle over her shoulder before climbing inside, "Whee!"

ALRIGHT YEAH HERE WE GO they get their shit and Orpheus drives the SUV to the adjecent building next to the place they are to go, inside a parking garage. Once parked, he gets out AGAIN and goes to grab his shit.. Takes some time to put his climbing gear on and get his gear ready and all that shit. Gets his ruth on.. the usual.

Nate gets out of the SUV and moves around, popping the trunk and getting the bags out of the back. "Alright, get comms on and tune to 113.72. We'll get dressed upstairs, grab your shit and let's go."

Alice gets out and then follows Nate around to the back and grabs what is left of her stuff in there, making sure it is hidden away if it is illegal! She uses the mental commands to adjust the comm to the new frequency.

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "Wahoozle!"

Orph is already ready. He's got his climbing gear, his gun, his ruth, his skin-tight armor. Oh yes. READY TO GO OH YEAH. Fuckin' metallllllll RRRGGHHH LETS DO THIS. *cue the guitar solo* He turns on his ruth now and pulls the hood over his head. Alright, time to go sneak and steal some shit but WAIIIIT. "Oh shit, I almost forgot, hah! I can't kill anyone in cold blood. Yeah, I sorta have to follow my groups scriptures or I'll get bitched at so.. No fucking up rent-a-cops.. But fuck up any trained corp SWAT-teams."
Yep. Orph hated this part. You can tell. He sounds exasperated.

Nate arranges a subvocal mic on his neck, pulls up his collar to cover it and heads over to a doorway. Inside are the stairs, that hopefully run all the way up to roof. «Get fragging moving already.» He waves them over.

Alice waits to get herself all suited up until they get upstairs, since she was one of those lazy types. She readjusts her duffle bag and then rushes over to the stairwell door, moving through it, and then taking the initiative to go up them first, cause she is a chick, and ladies go first, don'tchyaknow?

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "Group strictures eh? So, it's a stricture that you don't fuck up rent-a-cops but you can play with the big boys? Why?"

Orpheus activates the ruth and heads to the garage to the stairwell. They begin heading up the long flight of stairs.. Orpheus looks up them and hmmms. "Awesome. I guess we'll get a good work-out." He begins.. On the comm he returns to Alice. »Shit, I dunno half the time. I'm not suppose to kill people unless it's absolutely necesarry. I'm not going to jack up some rent-a-cop unless he starts shooting his guns an shit. SWAT's come to kill your ass and you know it, so fucking them up is okay. It's a pain in the ass sometimes..«

Commlink-MELF> Alice says, "Pain in the ass! Haha!"

Nate starts jogging up the stairs, taking each two steps at a time, trying to just get to the roof, and apparently ignoring the radio chatter.

Alice doesn't say much more on the radio right now, just rushes up the stairs as Nate probably passes her, cause he is like, faster, and shit… RUN RUN RUN!

Huff huff.. Run run… Finally they get to the top of the stairwell and yep.. There goes the door with the maglock. How typical! UGH! "Oh joy a maglock. Hand me that microtronics kit. I'm going to try to break it open LOL!" He gets in front of the thing and prepares to crack into the thing….

Alice pulls a microtronics kit from her duffle bag and hands it over to sir Orpheus. "There you go!" she says all cheerily! "Good luck!"

+ Orph's Opening a Lock.

Well, 120 seconds later with Orpheus cracking open the casing and fucking with the wires. Even as he's doing it he says, "Heh. It has an anti-tamper mechanism. Hehehe.. If I fuck up people will come running here.." He snickers. "I have no fucking idea what I'm doing but it's GREAT YEAH." Finally the door makes a clicking sound as the lock disengages. "Sweet. That shit was easier than I thought, hah! Let's go!"

Nate frowns as he glances at what Orpheus is doing, but it looks right to him, with his limited electronics knowledge. Then the door opens and he shrugs, "Whatever, get your gear out, get dressed and get that grapple ready." He steps out onto the roof, with it's roof garden of pipes and chimneys out here. Steam rises from them as he begins to strip off his street clothes, revealing his form fitting armour, and he's putting another armour jacket on before strapping into his A/D harness.

Alice starts to snicker when she hears what Orpheus says about not knowing what he is doing, but she does slip a hand inside her jacket just in case we get people coming here to try to kill us… YEAH! She glances down toward the stairwell from which they had just come, making sure to scout while Orph gets the lock done. When the door actually opens, she turns back to them and follows out onto the rooftop where she immediately crouches down and gets her duffle bag open and her strange casual biz wear off, having form fitting on underneath that, and then she slips into some drab secure clothing and a secure jacket on over that before making sure her guns are all holstered properly and then the balaclava goes on, and then the A/D harness, as well.

Orpheus already put on his gear ahead of time, so he pulls out his A/D kit and gets ready to fire it off.. All his gear is ready.. He's psyched. "Alright lets do this shit.. Alright.." He walks toward the edge of the roof, looking up, way up at the helipad on the other adjecent building. "We ready?" And without much further adue, he just fires off the grappling hook toward the skyline above…

+ Orph's fires a Grapple Hook.

Nate finishes up with the Dark Horse balaclava and then the pre-prepared polymimetic mask for him. "Alright, how do I look? Hehe, let's do this." He pulls his Equalizer out of it's bag and slings that over his shoulder, pistol holstered at his waist. "I'm ready to climb."

Alice affixes forearm guards, as she might want to beat someone's FACE! Once her disguise is complete with the prepped mask over top of everything, and she has her gear in order, she is pretty psyched, as well. She moves to go over toward the edge of the roof, looking toward the other building. "Yep!" she says to Orpheus before glancing back to Nate and then saying, "You look better now." she tells him but jokingly, giving him a wink.

Orpheus gets all the group fastened to the A/D line and soon the three are climbing up, up, up toward the helipad.. Up toward juicy betaware cyberwarez. Oh yes.. "Don't look down! Hah!" Thayt's Orphs wise advice.

Alice laughs a little bit and then moves to climb second, cause she was the woman here, and ladies go first! Oh wait, I already said that before! Anyway, she begins to try to maneuver her body along the line, progressing toward the awesome betaware cyberwarez, mmm.

Nate straps onto the rope last and starts bringing up the rear, feet against the building, hands on the rope, A/D kit doing most of the work here, which is nice for once. "Alice, you are mental, you're climbing second not first."

+ Orph's Stealth+Perception.

You paged Orpheus with 'You see over, mostly empty rooftop, helipad, empty. One guard in security spec armour patrolling, currently walking away from you. Building to the left, single story, big wide open glass frontage, it's a very very posh reception area. The shack up here is actually an armoured bunker, maybe a security office.'.

+ Corp Perceptions

Alice laughs, "Right!" but keeps really quiet, as she realizes. HUH! But, as they near the top, she goes completely mime silent…! Staying 2nd behind Orph, she listens in quietly to whatever is going on all up in dur, being ready to move. Alice also gives Esan a comm call, "Hey, do yo thing!"

Orpheus puts up his hand to give some standard hand signals. He's going to have radio silence as much as it's possible. He gives the signal for: 'Two hostiles. Danger close, on the left. Follow me on signal'. He prepares to leap up onto the helipad, possible take down the guard if he has to. Non-lethally of course..

Nate is just way down on the line, staring up at Alice's ass, he's pretty happy like that for now.

Orpheus slips up onto the roof, his ruthenium cloak keeping him pretty well concealed. So much so that he apparently wasn't trying very hard to be stealthy.. Never the less, it's fine. He sneaks up behind the guard with his traceless walking and prepares to do evil things to him possibly…

Alice is seriously evil with a pretty fine ass indeed. She comes up to the lip of the roof there, trying to peek over and watch Orph and prep to scale up onto the actual rooftop as soon as it looks safe to do so.

The security bunker up here suddenly clangs loudly as large metal barries slam shut all around it. Locking it solid, the guard patrolling looks over surprised, and you see a hand come up as he perhaps comms to his comarades. This provides the perfect surprise situation for Orpheus.

+ Orph Hit's Guard

Well, Orpheus makes a wholly useless attack by punching the guy in the back. Yeah. Meanwhile he has a poison-tipped, dikoted hand blade sheathed inside his cyberarm which probably would have evicerated him in a single blow, but you know. SCRIPTURES ARE AWESOME. Yay I love them. So his hadn just thuds against the hard security armor, maybe making the guy 'oof' a bit in surprise. "Hey, you got really good armor," he whispers quietly to the guard so only he can hear.

Alice scrambles up off the rope onto the top of the building, rolling and then pulling up onto one knee, attempting to quickdraw to help Orpheus!

+ Alice Quickdraw+Shot

Alice manages to take decent aim even after drawing quickly, and then she fires at the guard, slamming one of the APDS bullets past his armor and into his flesh, at least wounding him, but not killing him. Not yet.

+ Nate Draw+Shot

Nate scrambles up the last of the rope and peers over the edge. He heard shooting so he's already drawn his pistol at this point, aiming and firing over the top of the wall. His shot is decently aimed, but that armour is solid stuff, and he only has regular ammo.

Init Rounds: Nate: 28, Orph:18, Guard:16, Alice:12, Nate:18, Orph:8, Guard:6, Alice:2, Nate:8.

+ Nate Shoots again.

Nate scrambles up off the rope at last, getting onto a solid and steady platform from which to shoot the guard, his laser sight bobbling around on the guards chest as his silenced pistol phuts another round at him.

+ Orph hits guard.

Orpheus punches again. It is useless.

The guard inside his helmet can be seen moving his mouth, shouting, his arms go up in the air and takes a stumbling step back from the group, dropping onto his knees, blood streaming from a bullet wound to his abdomen.

Alice considers pegging the fellow again, but she did hear about the magic group strictures. And, well, she imagines that it looks like he is… GOING DOWN! She decides to rush over and try to assist Orpheus in melee!

+ Alice helps Orph.

Alice slips in there and then sets up a kick that she delivers to the visor of the poor guard's helmet, smashing it in with a kick TO THE FACE! Gracefully, she spins around, following through with the momentum to do a bouncing landing before both feet touch the ground… while the guard falls.

Well that was harrowingly useless! Orpheus just falls down and uses some zipties to hold the guards hands in place. Hes out of it enough that he offers no real resistance which is good. "You got lucky chum," he whispers to the guard. At least he can say he is following his scriptures. "Well, it sure would be a shame if someone were to shoot these others guards at long range with a rifle while I am not looking for I would not be able to see it, thus rendering my scriptures moot," Orpheus says to the group in a lone, baritone voice. HINT HINT.

Nate holsters his pistol again without bothering to reload it and then slides over towards the other two. His rifle is brought around from his back and held at a low ready. "Alright, looks like the decker is doing his bit," he points at the locked down security office, "Let's get in there and find our shit."

Alice crouches down near the guy and peers at him through the holes in her dark horse balaclava while Orph is ziptying him. She grins a little bit, "Yees, very lucky! Muwahaha!" she evil laughs to him before finally springing up in what looks to be a rather excited mood. She nods to Nate and then rushes over toward the security office, but still stays aware, listening to whatever might be going on around them with her hearing ampz.

Orph follows along, creeping across the open roof of the building toward the obvious entrance so they can descend into the place. He was kinda hoping that he would just find a decent opportunity to have the right to slice open some of these assholes so he stopped looking like a douchebag.

Nate creeps over behind Orpheus, heading over to the clear glass doors, at least they look like clear glass anyway. «Let's get this door open.»

Alice listens for a moment and realizes that there is no one else in the security office now, nothing to be heard, so she slinks back over toward the doors that Nate and Orpheus are approaching, bringing up the rear!

+ Opening the door.

Well Orpheus gets the covering off of the the thing.. Getting into the guts of the thing is a mess of complex, high-rating security and after a full minute of fucking with the thing he can't get the thing to open. He shrugs. "Someone else wanna try?"

Alice stops near Orph and raises a hand like she is in grade school, only, she never went to school. She grins, "Sure thing!" and then offers out her hands for the tools. Alice took the tools from Orph and tried for a moment to get things open but was not successful at all. She sighs and shoves the tools to NATE.

Nate gets the tools and shoves Alice aside as he gets to work on the guts of this lock, finally popping it open with a loud mechnical clunk sound. "There, get going."

Well, Orpheus keeps a running tab of their time spent. Two minutes, plus one, plus thirty. Plus another fifteen or so spent dicking with the guard, so… 3:45 and counting. Quite shameful, actually. He throws open the door when he gets the chance, perks up his ears and listens for any guards movements.. and will slip inside..

Alice almost shoves Nate back, but knows they're strapped for time, as the Math SPU3 can tell her, so she refrains from doing so, restraining the mental impulse. When Orph gets the door open, she moves to get inside with her gun ready. She keeps close tabs on things, observing the situation before moving further.

+ Perceptions.

You paged Alice with 'One of the door locks has a little green light instead of the red lights on the others. It's the one to Storage.'.
You paged Orpheus with 'You find the terminal still logged in. You notice that while looking for a password.'.

Orpheus stops short, looking at the PC terminal behind the receptionist area. While looking for any passcode, he notes that the last person forgot to log out of their terminal. WOW. Sloppy. "Hold up, lets quickly check for any floor layout information in the terminal or see if we can spot where the stuff is located.." Orpheus will pull look.

+ Orpheus Searches.

You paged Orpheus with 'You find a log half way through being completed of the last delivery, it lists a lot of betawares being stocked for the exclusive clientele they expect. Not a single item is over 0.5 essence cost, but there's a lot, and it's all locked into storage room A.'.

Alice points to one of the doors marked as Storage. "It looks like the door to 'storage' is unlocked." She starts to slink over there!

Orpheus pours through their files for a bit, checking to make sure they aren't going to head off into some random direction. "Everything we want is probably in storage room A its…" He looks over at Alice near Storage Room Door. ".. Yeah probably there I guess." Right. Well at least they know the SPECIFIC door to go in now. "GOOOOO" While he is still at the terminal he'll quickly and briefly check for any passcodes or anything that might circumvent up and coming security. But only briefly before leaving and pressing onward.

Nate follows on behind the other two, his rifle at the ready a little pointless feeling but still, he holds it, like a lifeline.

Alice even does a Vanna White impression by using her hands to bring attention to the door while Orpheus suggests the storage room. She grins, but then turns and looks at the door handle closely for a moment, and then she tries to go ahead and turn the door handle… She tenses… BOOM! No, wait, that does not happen! Revealing the hallway before the door, she slips inside and attemps to stealth while listening carefully for enemy BREATHING.

Right, they step through the door into a utilitarian, drab set of hallways with doors. Orpheus follows along the bright, yellow-coloured line following the length of the floor. "Sweet, let's go.. Yeah. On a strict time limit, yes.." Follow.. Follow.. Follow the line until my next series of dice rolls.

Nate follows along behind the others. When they pass through the door at the end of the corridor the yellow line goes left at the T junction. A red line goes to the right and signs on the wall indicate that yellow is to Storage A and red is to Storage B.

Alice follows the yellow brick line and turns to the left and then goes up to the Storage A door, cause she remembers what Orph mentioned earlier.

Orpheus will.. gently open the door a crack and peek in, maybe listen for any movement or see if he spots any dangerous security like turrets or whatever.. Barring that, he will step inside the room

Alice lets Orph go first, cause she wanted to be 2nd and break her usual stereotype. She grins a bit to him, twitching a little muscularly.

There is no obvious security inside the room, in fact the only possible thing now is that Alice can hear some snivelling sounds and Orpheus can see lots of shelves loaded up with medical looking boxes and crates.

Orpheus bursts into the room now and heads towards the crates. OH YES! YEAH! He zooms toward them to collect them and open them and enjoy the feel of them. "Sweet fuck! Da shit is here it must be! Oh yes!"

Alice proceeds with caution and then she glances around and tries to get an idea of where the snivelling bastard rat is! She slinks and whispers, "Hey, I hear something… someone's sucking wind."

Nate shoots in after Alice and grins, "Hellz yes, gimme some cybereyes baby." He starts going through boxes too, they have handly labels on them to help a man out. There are shelves full of eyes, shelves full of ears, mods for inside either, there's even a paralegal shelf of mods for security guards, with smartlinks and suchlike. All of it fancy betaware.

Alice moves around the room and tries to find the snivelling fucker, finding him under a desk, and she reaches in there with one gloved hand to grab him by the shirt collar and try to haul him out, her other with a gun, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" she hisses like a fiend, trying to make him piss himself.

The desk clerk screams a high pitched girly scream and his legs get soaked and the urine drips from his shoes onto the floor, drip drip drip. "Ahhhh please, don't hurt meeee!"

+ Alice smells.

Alice spastically laughs while the boy pees his pants, and then says, "YOU SHAT YOURSELF!" and then she shoves the guy to sit in an office chair in his own feces and piss. That poor bastard. "Shut the fuck up, shut up!"

The clerk cowers and tries to be quiet, all squishing around in his own feces and urine. He's not really shut up, but he's quieter, crying softly and covering his face with his hands.

Alice lets the poor boy's shirt go and pats his hair gently, "There, there." she coos in a soft voice, and then she pulls her hand back for a… PUNCH INTO HIS FACE.

+ Alice punches.

Alice knocks the poor boy unconscious and then lays him to rest back in the office chair before giggling and rushing over to start looting warez.

Nate finds what he's looking for, some new beta eyes, on top of that goes a load of mods for them, thermo, low-light, everything he can find. Then he opens up his bag and tosses them all in there, they're in protective cases after all. Finally he tosses in a smartlink-2 package and he's done. "I'm done, get moving!"

Alice grabs some beta smartlinks and some vision and ear mods, and even a couple routers. Hell, she grabs a lot of this and that, even things she does not need, but she could give some to Esan for his time, and some to McLovin!

Orpheus grabs all the ear and eye shit, as well as another few miscellaneous things. This shit was EXPENSIVE! But thats alright cus now it's /FREE/. HAHAHAHA! "Dude, check this stuff out over here," he says to nate, showing off some of the stuff he found in his crates. After a precious minute or so of this, he knows they cant sacrifice anymore time and, satisfied, says, "Alright, damn.. Let's hit it. I got plenty of shit myself.." He readies to leave.

Nate grins behind his mask and balaclava, "Sweet dude, now let's go, go. Freakosaur! We're leavin'!" Nate turns and heads out the way they came with his loot bag over his shoulder.

Alice finds some stuff that deals with beta grade encephalon warez… "Hoshit." she says and then slinks those unfinished parts into the duffle bag before turning and then moves, rushing after Nate, "I'm coming, OH OH OH!"

Orpheus -his new things in tow- charges alongside the others and out the way they came. "Let's get the fuck outta here!" he suggests.. Down the coordidoors they go, back back back.

Nate agrees, "Back down the rope, before the fuckin' HTR gets here. Oh wait, did I forget to mention that to you guys?" He laughs as he runs out, getting his A/D harness ready and clipping himself onto the rope first.

Alice rushes along the yellow floor line out to the reception area and then hopefully out onto the roof, unless anyone has come to thwart them, hopefully not yet, if Esan is doing his job. She raises an eyebrow about the HTR suggestion and then laughs, "Gonna kick your ass!" she says before clipping herself onto the rope 2nd, after Nate, so she can kick his ass on the way down.

Once the group gets attached to the rope, Orph begins to rapel down the length of it alongside them while Esan continues to fuck with security. This wouldn't have even been possible otherwise, really.. Orpheus didn't want to be here when they showed up to fuck with the intruders. "Whatever! Let's fucking blow this place. WITH THEIR STUFF." Now he rapels down, catalyst stick at the ready as soon as they are all back to the other wise….

Nate kicks and flies down the rope fast, letting the A?D harness smoke as it puts the brakes on to slow him down. It's the quickest way, the harness will be fucked afterwards though. He clips himself off and onto the roof of the first building. Immediately stripping off his armour to stuff it into his bag. "Gooooo!" He ducks inside the building here, it's only been about five minutes total, but it feels like years. Yesss!"

Alice kicks around as if she were trying to kick Nate in the arse, but not serious about it at all, actually avoiding hitting him. After they land, she shucks off her harness which is ruined, as well. She pushes everything into the duffle bag and then waits for Orpheus to do his thang. She thanks Esan and ends that phone call.

Orpheus hits the bottom, along with the others.. He gets their harnesses removed and within moments he hits the stealth line with his catalyst stick.. It fizzles a moment then literally turns to carbon and ashe all up along the rope until it vanishes from sight. "Sweet, now lets get in the SUV and get the fuck out of here…" He then turns toward the door he broke ten minutes ago or so and heads toward the SUV many stories below.

The VTOL passes overhead and lands on the helipad as the grapple clatters to the roof up there. The runners already gone from sight.
