Sebastian had made note to ask for a Steyr ACS-3 Assault Rifle, otherwise known as the "Sasquatch". He then listened to the others making their progress reports, and general plans for the job. He noticed that Finwe had become bored, and got up from his seat.

"Still want to see my armour? well then follow me please." Finwe asked with a happy expression on his face, heading to the door.

"Hold up there Finwe. Shouldn't all of us decide on who is going into what teams to tackle these building. That way, I know what weapons to ask for to be placed in the specific caches. As for whether or not I'd like to see your armour, of course I would, but after this please." Sebastian responded in a calm and focused manner.

Venaticus was watching the exchange of data and information and simply absorbing it. Then the big question came. Who would he go with? The location was impossible to debate, he would go to the main HQ. He had a job to do.

"I actually have one more thing to say. If I can get to a high access computer in the HQ, I can disable all the automated defences, their communications and get the patrol routes for the guards. I am obviously going into the main base, but the first objective is an executive computer."

In reality, he could sidestep any of their automated defences and knew a way around them, but if he did that, then he wouldn't be able to delete the records on himself.

"I will be the hacker for the team on the HQ. I require someone who can disable the magical barriers for a bit, aside from that, everyone is a gun. Finwe is coming to the HQ for his contact, I remember the younger girl said she could fly? That would be helpful for the Kilmer building. Wulf might spearhead that one if he is willing to.

"I require someone who can disable the magical barriers for a bit"

Nik looked at the detective.
"I'm your man then. Can someone show me the maps we got?"
He needed to see if there were any decent sniper nests on site, or he'd be next to useless once that barrier was down.
He stifled a snort. He could always sling mojo. That'd be pathetic to see. Two years of training with Mandrake and he still felt none of it had sunk in.

But that was a problem for another time, it was time to focus on the mission. He looked at Roberts.
"An' the disguise would make most sense on the HQ team, da?"

"I actually have one more thing to say. If I can get to a high access computer in the HQ, I can disable all the automated defences"

"Wouldent it be easier for me to do that while in disguise? You can talk me trough the steps and there's little to no risk. Hell I could probably do it from Vougners own terminal."

He sat back up and looked directly at the AI

"Like I said. All I need from you is a fake identity as a employee of one of the companies Vougner is working with, preferable an Asian run one. I can get inside NeoNET and make everything a hell of a lot easier."

Venaticus returned Robert's look. It would be impossible for him to even let Roberts touch any of the equiptment. Besides, Venaticus only cared about deleting his files. To him, everything else was secondary.

"I looked at your Vougner guy, he has access to Kilmer as well apparently. We still need an experienced hacker for the Kilmer job, which promises to require just as much expertiese. That is why I think you could fill the role in that area. On top of that, since Vougner was involved in the aquisition of Kilmer, he would almost certainly have information as to where Shelly is. While he won't have his own computer there, his login will still work on any executive's computer. A safeguard instilled by NeoNET in case any of their acquisitions go against them. It will open up any and all of the files there to you. You can have fun destroying all the files after you get the information about our target."

With Nik finishing, Venaticus now had a way in as well. "Good, we still need someone to take down Kilmer's barriers, but as for the HQ, we only need muscle now."

"If anyone feels we need specific weapons, just tell me now, and I can put the call in. And finally, was it you Wulf that mentioned about some military grade communicators? In any case, I was able to acquire them as well."

"Fantastic," Clay said from the corner of the room as he leant up against the wall. "Saves me from havin' to worry about a dropped call. As for weapons, I got a request, shouldn't be difficult to get ahold of, not for some top-notch arms dealer at any rate. I've always wanted me a pair of Tarus Hushpuppies. If he can get them, make sure he throws in a few boxes of .40 mercury-filled rounds and another few boxes with armor-piercing capabilities, preferably tungsten-core rounds. Also, if it wouldn't be too difficult, a Remington Roomsweeper would be just lovely. Saw one o' those beauts a couple months back and have been dyin' to get my hands on one. Tell your man I'd like a few boxes of flechette ammunition and double-aught buckshot. Please."

Clay stood upright and walked over to the main table, arms folded as he glazed over the rest of the group. "And while I have your hopefully undivided attention, I may as well say what little I, or should I say 'Lanche and I, have managed to gather. Nothing major, we can only confirm that Nik's friend, John Wayne, has been hanging about as well as some fella with a metal arm, likely the same guy Wulf mentioned earlier. Now, I've actually been workin' on a plan, somethin' that should pan out quite nicely...

"As we all probably know, Roberts will be the first one of in the Novatech facility. Sebastian will be going in next as Roberts' business associate - Roberts will be informing the necessary people of this beforehand so as not to cause concern. Once in, Sebastian will hack into Novatech's security and make a couple arrangements to their newcomers list, as Wulf and another will be going in as new recruits. Sebastion will need to provide you with the identities while using your images so you can go about without hassle. The job of the security team will be to provide constant updates on the actions of security so the rest of the teams can know if and when something comes their way. The equipment they'll need, like Sebastion said, will be put into the weapons cache where they can access them. Roberts, meanwhile, will be arranging for a delivery to be made; a safe, a cabinet - something we can use to discreetly transport weapons and equipment inside the facility. The delivery team consisting of two people will move through the docks and into the executive offices, bringing the package along with them of course. By then, they will be the closest ones to Dr. Shelley and will be the first to move in on her. We'll need to cover all areas of escape if she makes a break for it, so we need a pair on the roof in case she has access to a means of air transport. This is where your talents come in, Princess," Clay said, nodding at Taylor. "We'll need you to fly someone up to the roof where you'll both be closing off that route -all other exits should be handled by the delivery team or, if by any chance she makes it that far, the security team below. As for the Archives, we need our most experienced hacker inside wiping all the files as our most experienced demolitions expert to level the place, just so we can be sure there's no trace of any files to find in there. Nik, from the sounds of things, you'll be providing overwatch for the Archives from a vantage point of your choosing. Not entirely sure how we're all gonna get out, but hey, I can't do the thinkin' for all of us."

"Then it will be someone light, and with minimal equipment." She replied. "But worry not. I will be more useful in the building interior. Utilities subsection. I can ensure that any there will be minimal resistance inside. In return, your word that you can avoid pointless death."

She had her own stratagem, of course. The word had a delicious, depraved beauty to it, the name these men had so kindly bestowed upon her.

Princess.

"You're forgetting something. I'm not exactly guard material, anyone who's been on there long enough is going to know I'm not private sec. Besides that, when if any part of that plan goes south, I'm not that inconspicuous. Anyone with money's going to want me and if and when they find me, chances are, they'll find all of you not long after."

Wulf leaned back and took a sip of his drink, relishing the flavor of real vegetables or fruits or whatever was in the stuff.

"I'm better suited for the Archives job, get in, get out, destroy what evidence we can and try not to get caught."

Sebastian noted down what weaponry Clay requested, along with the appropriate ammunition. He then listened to the overall plan, making sure to take note of his overall role.

"Sebastian will be going in next as Roberts' business associate - Roberts will be informing the necessary people of this beforehand so as not to cause concern. Once in, Sebastian will hack into Novatech's security and make a couple arrangements to their newcomers list, as Wulf and another will be going in as new recruits. Sebastian will need to provide you with the identities while using your images so you can go about without hassle. The job of the security team will be to provide constant updates on the actions of security so the rest of the teams can know if and when something comes their way. The equipment they'll need, like Sebastian said, will be put into the weapons cache where they can access them."

"Okay then, once I've handled all the necessary security requirements for this plan, shall I join in with the others for the rest of it, or remain on watch to help co-ordinate things? Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to bring in my weapons and armour in case things get a little messy." Sebastian remarked with a semi devious smile.

"Whatever vehicle Roberts is planning to use to bring in the equipment cache, we could probably use to transport Dr. Shelly out of the building. With any luck, the transfer should be quick and quiet."

"Hold up there Finwe. Shouldn't all of us decide on who is going into what teams to tackle these building."
Finwe turned around "Yes that would be for the best." Finwe walked back to the table and sat down in his seat again looking a bit off.

"Finwe is coming to the HQ for his contact," Finwe silently agreed with this statement.
If there was a way to save his friend, it would be to try and find him there and save him. If there was still a person to save...

He then continued to listen to the plan that was formed. "Well it looks like you are taking the lead on this one Rodrigo.
So just tell me where you need me to go. And I will be there."

The conversion had picked up again, Charlie looked up. Now the subject was the actual plan for this, one screw up and... Well, he didn't particularity want to think about that. Marlowe listened to Rodrigo and Clay's plan. Well, at least it was a start. For one, Clay's little explosion had to go and for another, what was that about only needing muscle for the headquarters? He sighed. Charlie already felt out of place with assassins, furries and Triad destroyers and now he felt even more like a third wheel. Nolan still hadn't turned up to the little meeting. Marlowe guessed it was time to give up on any chance of the ol' Beretta getting repaired. However, he now had ample opportunity for an upgrade. A laser sight would be useful, his aim wasn't what it used to be, especially with being excluded from his old gun club because of what he got himself into and a twelve round magazine would be handy, as well. The two extra shots would make him feel a lot more safer, after all, in his experience - killing or being killed only came down on whether you or your opponent had any bullets left in that dark chamber.

"Well, Nik is gonna make sure that those ex-Lonestar guys so they'll be down some men and that'll hopefully make it easier for us..." He mumbled, waiting his thoughts to hit a momentum, "Clay, nice plan, but no explosions. There's a sweet little bonus for doing this quietly and I don't want to see people missing out on that. If anyone's offering weapons, I'll take a Beretta Model 101-T [http://www.gods-inc.de/macavity/shadowrun/weapons/beretta.html] with the laser sight and twelve round magazine upgrades. Better than this old thing."

Charlie made a play holding the old, dis-used gun he carried around with him at all times. Mostly to threaten with rather than main. Besides, if you had a gun, people paid attention and could be coerced into telling you what you need, without even so much has firing a shot. Marlowe quickly adjusted his hat and continued,

"Besides, we'll have to find a place for little ol' me on this little excursion. Here, I'm a man with a thousand contacts and a talent for persuasion. There, I'm just another suit with a gun. I'm not sure what I could do, my talents lie mainly with speaking but I'm sure you guys will think something up. Sorry for going on about this but I don't want to feel like I'm the third wheel in this team. Maybe I'll fly with Taylor, seeing as I'll be as lightly equipped as I am now. Who knows?"

"Then it will be someone light, and with minimal equipment. But worry not. I will be more useful in the building interior. Utilities subsection. I can ensure that any there will be minimal resistance inside. In return, your word that you can avoid pointless death."

"Alright, that's fine with me. Try not to get killed, yourself."

"You're forgetting something. I'm not exactly guard material, anyone who's been on there long enough is going to know I'm not private sec. Besides that, when if any part of that plan goes south, I'm not that inconspicuous. Anyone with money's going to want me and if and when they find me, chances are, they'll find all of you not long after. I'm better suited for the Archives job, get in, get out, destroy what evidence we can and try not to get caught."

"Suit yourself, just make sure that place is nothin' but a pile of rubble."

"Okay then, once I've handled all the necessary security requirements for this plan, shall I join in with the others for the rest of it, or remain on watch to help co-ordinate things?"

"I think you should remain with Roberts and act as a coordinator. If the team takin' Shelley needs assistance with the capturin', you both'll be actin' as a safety net, makin' sure she doesn't make it to the lower levels."

"Clay, nice plan, but no explosions. There's a sweet little bonus for doing this quietly and I don't want to see people missing out on that."

"Well, Charlie," Clay started, leaning forward and setting his hands on the table. "It was my understandin' that we were getting paid to make this facility permanently incapable of storin' data. Unless you feel we should take the time to individually destroy every data system in there while keeping the structure intact, I don't think there's another way we can go about this. There's minimal staff which means very little casualties, so I believe levelin' the place is the best course of action."

"I think you should remain with Roberts and act as a coordinator. If the team takin' Shelley needs assistance with the capturin', you both'll be actin' as a safety net, makin' sure she doesn't make it to the lower levels." Clay responded with to the question that Sebastian has asked earlier. Sebastian continued to note down recommended weapons for people. He had a understand look on his face to the response he got.

"Alright then, that makes sense Clay. Another question for you, would it also make sense for me to be Roberts bodyguard? If that is the case, it would justify me being in my armour, and carrying weapons around with me. But I can do business suits if it is required for your plan to work. I may bring them along, for in case things go wrong."

Venaticus knew he was best suited for the Kilmer job, but if Roberts went in to NeoNET, what would the point of any of this be? He decided the best idea was to tell Roberts and see if he can talk Roberts through it.

"Roberts. This is mission critical information that I only need you to know, so if you want to know anything about hacking into NeoNET, you will come with me now. That also goes for details on the building."

"As a compromise, isn't there some kind of matrix virus we can use to drek up their system, since it is self-contained? Having their systems corrupted is not really something any corp **** is going to want be known to the public. A busted building on the other hand, while it may be the norm in the Barrens, isn't so much around that area of Seattle."

Wulf turned to Venaticus,"Is that something you can do for our deck-man?"

"Is that something you can do for our deck-man?"

Venaticus turned at Wulf. "This is sensitive information, I can't divulge it to anyone outside of Roberts. I do have the floor plans which I will be giving out after, but I need Robert's cooperation first."

"Well, Charlie," Clay started, leaning forward and setting his hands on the table. "It was my understandin' that we were getting paid to make this facility permanently incapable of storin' data.

There's minimal staff which means very little casualties, so I believe levelin' the place is the best course of action."

Charlie couldn't believe this kid. What was wrong doing the whole thing without explosions? Him and the group got paid more for no waking the neighbours, and NeoNET didn't have to wake up to the goddamn awful sight of rubble in the morning. There were other ways to do this and everybody won.

"Well, Clay," Marlowe replied, mirroring Clay's stance, getting a good look at the kid's eyes. "It's my understanding that we are going to a lot of trouble to make this facility permanently incapable of storing data. Explosions look pretty in the Seattle night-time, sure. But they'll wake NeoNET up since they really don't like vandalism of their property. There are other ways, whether it be using magic or the Matrix."

"As a compromise, isn't there some kind of matrix virus we can use to drek up their system, since it is self-contained? Having their systems corrupted is not really something any corp **** is going to want be known to the public. A busted building on the other hand, while it may be the norm in the Barrens, isn't so much around that area of Seattle."

Charlie smiled. He was beginning to like this guy, even if he was still tempted to yank that fur to see if it was just a fursuit, but apart from angering the guy, it looked pretty real from this distance so he just put that little plan aside. It was good idea to use a virus, but it mattered on the skill of the deck-man and whether NeoNET's computer security was up to scratch.

He turned to Wulf, "Good idea, I saw some of that go on before I took up 'running. The corp suit wouldn't let that out to public, yeah, that'll spoil the image of omnipotence they have going on," He then turn to Rodrigo, "Is the guy up to it, though? NeoNET seem this data disappearing act plenty of times and they'll be prepared for it."

"Is the guy up to it, though? NeoNET seem this data disappearing act plenty of times and they'll be prepared for it."

Venaticus thought about a virus for a second. When he had been working for NeoNET, that kind of attack would have been hilariously easy to deal with. Now that he was gone however, it would have a shot. Of course, it would be more simple if he simply just went in and caused a mass system deletion, which is possible if he altered the programming enough.

"The virus idea is plausible, but I only say that because I no longer am the head of security there. I honestly have no idea who or what is at this point. A virus may either be effective, or if they managed to get someone better than me, entirely useless. The safer option would be to simply edit the core programming of the archives and have it cause a mass server deletion. Simple to do for me, NeoNET based systems all run on the same platform and because Kilmer was bought off, they would already have the NeoNET platform on, it is a high priority deal. With that in mind, I could alter any computer there in approximately five seconds."

Venaticus had already run through the steps in his mind. It would actually take four.

"I looked at your Vougner guy, he has access to Kilmer as well apparently. We still need an experienced hacker for the Kilmer job, which promises to require just as much expertiese. That is why I think you could fill the role in that area."

"I suppose that would work, I'm no hacker but if Vougers password gets me in I should be able to get the job done. All I need from you is the list of companies hes worked with so I can actually et the guy in the first place"

"Alright then, that makes sense Clay. Another question for you, would it also make sense for me to be Roberts bodyguard?"

Roberts shook his head

"Vouger's high up but I doubt he'd take a personal bodyguard into work, especially not with the level of security already in place. I can probably get you in the building legitimately but weapons beyond what you can easily conceal are out of the question"



Um as of this Sunday I'm going to be in Canadia for 10 days. I know I haven't been very active and I'm sorry for that, but I'm not going to be able to post at all until the 3rd. If I can somehow get my bit with Vouger sorted before I leave then it shouldent be that mch of an issue if I'm gone for a week or so...

Since things seemed to be getting into the nitty-gritty now, Nik felt justified in speaking up. He'd been listening to everyone for a good long while now, so it seemed time to say his piece.

"Okay, other'n what we're covering now seems to me our teams are organised. So in my mind that leads to a point we've probably already been over a thousand times: we need to figure out who's calling the shots for both units."
He pointed to the PI.
"Mr. Rodrigo here seems to be a natural choice fer th' Kilmer team. He knows the place and his role's pretty key. If everyone else in that group's agreeable I nominate him."
He looked to the others.
"But you guys? Wouldn't like to judge. I ain't on your team so I reckon it's up to you, but we do need to figure out who we're running to if and when we need to."
