"Your father had just informed us that Aztechnology plans to keep the artifacts for themselves after the exhibit. What purpose does it serve them to keep them except to say they own it?"

He also hadn't got to the details of what we are looking for, we have a time window and a location, that's it

As the old man slowly rolled out of the room, Silk got back on her seat and regained her composure.
"From what we got so far, it seems there is still some time before the artifacts be stowed away. ", she said in a calm, businesslike voice.
"Though, perhaps now is not a good time? If you'd prefer to tend to your father's needs first, we understand and can come back at a more convenient time.", Silk added with a bit of sympathy in her voice.

"Thank you but that is all right... I would rather you have the time to do your legwork as you see fit."
He brings up the AR display of the advert again, "Any answers as to why they want to pull it out of public, or even paid, display would purely be speculation into the affairs of the Azzies... Any reason they have is likely to not be a good one. In short, my father wishes the entire display be stolen from their confines at the museum and transported to an abandoned warehouse in Redmond, either from the storeroom before they are on display or once they all ready are, and transported to an abandoned warehouse in Redmond. My father has contacts who will then take it out of the UCAS and arrange for it's public display outside of Aztechnology control. I understand that that part sounds like a daunting feat, but luckily only the theft and initial transport are your concern. Any questions at this point? I will help if i can."
Diego crosses his arms in front of himself, his hands dangling limply.

"The... entire display? How many items -and how big and heavy- are we talking about, exactly?", she asked, managing to hide her dismay.
Who the hell does he think we are? U-Haul?

"The display is relatively small for it's type, it packs into five 2x1 meter crates. The crates ordered have wheeled bottoms, so weight isn't an issue so long as, for example, if they aren't on the ground floor you can gain access to an elevator. For a worst case scenario of needing to move them without such ease, we have asked legion here to provide drone support.. My father would prefer that they be on display for a time before the theft, so the people of Seattle may enjoy them. I on the other hand can see the impracticality of having to repack the crates during the theft. Transporting the crates is why we have hired Andromeda here," he motions towards the Ork. "As far as i am aware it is mostly a display of many small objects, any large or weighty objects will be few." He sends you all the shipping manifest and transport receipt from the first AR display.

"Any information from what the hacker got concerning whether Aztechnology provides additional security in addition to the museums? Is there an estimated net worth for the collection?" Gibbon asked these while checking the manifest for the sum weight and extra shipping instructions.

"The display is worth it's weight in gold... literally."
He brings up an image of some of the pieces, trinkets in ancient Aztec designs. "It seems it was a very successful part of the culture, possibly some kind of temple. Some items are pure gold, most if not all have gold and jewels adorning them somewhere but we've all ready checked Andromeda's carry limit and it won't be too much. Aztechnology has not advertised that the have increased security from the museum's usual amount, of course you may find out differently later."
You all get the feeling that Diego probably has some experience running as he seems to have at least some of the information generally asked by Runners prepared.

Andromeda knew having The Johnson having so much information never was good news. he had them where he wanted them and could easily play them the way he liked. Him knowing about Habu was already dangerous, but him knowing what it could do was even more frightening. >Who is that guy? why does he know so much about us? why does he know so much about me?< he asked Silk and Kitten over the com, while cold shivers run down her spine.

It was involuntary and very quiet but part of it escaped Gibbon's mouth. "Hijo de p..." He finished the sentence only in his thoughts as he recalculated the expected weight of the collection. We won't be able to move the crates without mechanical help. Each should weigh several hundred kilograms.

"This is all most interesting. It's quite obvious you've done your homework... or is this all your fathers'?", Silk remarked casually.
After the answer.
"One issue that's been... itching, since the word artifact was first mentioned. You seem very well informed in our kind of business, so surely you're aware there's a bit of an artifact hunt going on all around the world. Is there a chance this is related? If there's even the slightest possibility of any of these items being of magical nature and well-known they will soon be removed from the public, we should expect competition."

"I don't mean to interject but do we know anything about the secuirty? anything at all?"
whilst blankly staying at the AR display.
...you're too prepared, if the old man is ill....and you insisted on the act or you're in it together....and I'm already all in
"Also, any current floor plans? including sewer and access tunnels that run under the building, you get the idea"

"Both of ours, I am my father's head of security and have used shadow connections to obtain some of the information he couldn't get legally or through old contacts."

he one hand under his chin and looks over the AR display, "The presence of a "real artifact" would certainly explain Aztechnologies actions but there has been no murmurs of anyone having this information but Aztechnology and us. It's possible that the museum staff are also not aware, they may think it will be part of a rotating display, or moved to another museum somewhere else at the end, not locked away in the Azzie Capitol. You may indeed have competition if someones thrown more weight around then us, keep an eye out. There will be danger money added onto your fee should you have to deal with such a problem."

He gestured towards the medic when he spoke, his hand brushing his blonde hair back, "I will be able to provide a floor plan of the museum but It is only the publicly accessible one. I didn't want to go near the museum myself or have contacts look into their matrix in case they think they are being cased before we even hire you."

You are pretty sure some Ork Underground tunnels run pretty close to the museums basement levels, but you'd need to tunnel through somehow, loud work. You are not sure if any sewer or subterranean accesses all ready exist.

"Some ork underground tunnels run by close enough, but we'd need to do some digging to get into the basement access, which means noise, unless somebody has a quiet way of doing just that, it will have to be ruled out."
he paused to take breath
Regardless if we could use that, we'd only have to worry about non-physical and non-mundane security, also a possibility of  what's living down in the underground itself, but we do time to sort out these things"
he cocked his head to the side as if waiting for a response

"Did your hacker also access the records for transporting the collection from Aztechnology to the museum? Or did it already happen?" The twtching of Gibbon's tail spoke about his excitement. This was a good opportunity. He didn't have too much work in Seattle yet. And to hit the Azzies where it might hurt was also tempting.
"And i say that before we discuss methods and capabilities there is another issue to bring up." He then turned to Silk, his look indicating that he thought the elf best suited for discussing payment.
