"Thanks for the heads-up," Kitten said, "and I'll get you the money in a minute or so."
She wired the money out of the escrow account they had gotten and also forwarded the picture to the rest of the team.
"The ID will be ready soon," she said, "In the mean time, my contact said this guy had been snooping around.  Any of you know him?"

[Chrona]

No one on the team recognizes the man.

[Ren]

Gibbon shook his head at the picture slightly. “Haven’t seen him before.” Then he returned to the discussion that interrupted. “Anyway, it’s good news we get the ID. Unfortunately we can only plan with that after you started to work. Even if you can’t get into a position to open any doors from the inside, you might put your hands on some useful intel: procedures, schedules, the like.”

The dwarf thought for a moment then continued. “Anyway, it is all well that these details start to get into their places but its pointillism from close: we see colorful points but we miss the picture. The most important part is getting in and then out with the goods. How do you recon we should do that? We can’t just park with the truck there without good reason.”
“Do you think inserting data on a delivery into their system, then getting the goods under that guise would be feasible? I have my doubts, but simply infiltrating the facility and getting out with the crates seems even a bigger stretch.”

[Punch]

"No idea who that is, any idea if your contact ran into him locally? could be worth a look into seeing if he's been seen elsewhere." shrugging his shoulders before turning his attention back to the main topic of discussion.
It was when the dwarf mentioned inserting delivery data, his shoulders slumped slightly, forcing him to speak up"Yes, if they're not uping their game at that point the entire security team would end up getting fired, we also need that eye inside to look at what security is in the delivery area." as he straigtened himself up in his chair "I suppose a list of things to look for maybe useful..... the tone in his voice remaining neutral.

"I think first it would be good to know how the goods will be transported back, it would be much easier to play the ones who are getting the goods officially as to steal them while they are on display." Andromeda pinched in. "Still, my opinion is that stealing a car loaded with Art is easier then to bring them into the car by hand and then trying to get away." She looked at Kitten "just be careful, there are other ways of tracking you not only the SIN you have." She looked back to the table "hope our hacker friend appears and can help you by hacking and extracting information from the museum or we all will have a real hard time..."

[farothel]

"I know, but I can take care of the astral myself," she said to Andromeda, "now, there are a couple of options.  One: we hijack the goods while they are on the way to the museum.  Advantages: the goods are already on a truck, we just need to get access to the truck and we're good.  Disadvantages: it's rather short notice and it's probably going to be Aztlan security."

"Two: we get the stuff while it's at the museum.  Advantages: we have more time to plan, and there's probably a bit less security.  Also if I can get that job, we have someone to open doors.  Disadvantages: we will have to load it on a truck ourselves and depending on when we do it, we will have to get into the display cases as well, having more chances of setting off the alarm.

Three: we get the goods when they go back out of the museum.  Advantages: they are again on a truck, or if we can fake the documentation of our truck and hold up theirs, we can pretend to be the regular truck.  That way the museum people will even load them for us.  Disadvantages: if it goes wrong, we don't get a second chance."

She looked at everybody.
"We will just have to choose which option we take and go with it."

[Ren]

”Option one still doesn’t exist. We know that the goods are already in the museum. Or at least that’s what the Mr. Johnson said. And if you added the Azzies to the first transport as possible guards, I think we should assume the same for the third.
“Anyway, I think what you mentioned as a disadvantage for the third, that we won’t have a second chance if we miss that one, might apply for the others as well. If they find us out during a missed grab, they will up the security so much we will only throw away our lives by trying a second time.”

Gibbon sat there, thinking for a moment before continuing. ”I still see the least chance for encountering Azzies in the museum. But Andromeda is right, of course. If we don’t have to pack and haul the goods, we save ourselves a lot of trouble. And of course then we wouldn’t really need the inside man if we grabbed the goods outside.
“Of course, trying to steal the artifacts while on display would be loco. We would need about two hours of uninterrupted time within to get the items out, pack them carefully, put them in the crates, and load them. So it is either before or after the exhibition. And if we do the grab while they transport, we also have to consider that we won’t be able to tinker with the truck, we have to cover its tracks and signature on the fly.”

[farothel]

"Unless we can get to know which truck they will use and manage to thinker with it before the roll it out to collect their art," Kitten said, "but I must admit I don't know if it's possible.  I assume they will work with a local company to do the transport, or at least a subsidiary."

[Punch]

"So if we can work out where the trucks coming from we could, emphasis on the could, hijack it, take the delivery, stop somewhere and transfer it to our truck?"
sighing to himself"But as we know, that means we need to dig up what we can on who is doing the delivery, that would need someone on the inside and/or a hacker, if that doesn't dig up anything, we sneak in and just rob the place on the night of the delivery when they arrive or before they arrive, I'd prefer before as we won't know what they will turn up with.
slumping back down into his seat tilting his head to look at the ceiling.

[Kouryuu]

Andromeda had another question on her mind "What if they do the transportation in 2 trucks, what then? we would need 2 drivers or at least some good soft for running the second one that we need to prepare in advance." she thought for a bit " Any way you take it, it's a ugly deal without a hacker."

[farothel]

"Two trucks is more difficult to secure," Kitten said, "if it physically possible to put everything in one truck, they will do so.  It's much easier to keep your eye on one truck and you only need half of the blood spirits to guard it."

[Chrona]

All attempts to reach Legion have failed, unsure as to how to proceed the team is left with only one choice, contact the Johnson, if only to rearrange payment. Silk handles the call, and luckily she gets through to the Older of the two Johnsons.
"Missing you say?" He wheezes a few times, taking a breath from his breathing apparatus. "How terrible... and the timing... do not worry, we shall find someone else as soon as possible and stick to the agreed upon terms, I do not expect you to endanger yourselves on this job without matrix assistance."

As Silk is returning to the table however, someone taps her on the shoulder, the Ork security woman from the museum standing there in her civvies. "Oh my god, I can't believe I ran into you here! I.. um.. do you have a table yet? We could continue our conversation from earlier." Silk forces herself not to glance at the rest of the team, who are in danger of all being made if she sees behind that curtain, or any of them leave, or damn it, did they get seen on the way in. All these thoughts and more run through silks head as she tries to determine the best route out of this. "I wish I had some Laes" she thought to herself as she followed the Ork to her table, messaging Kitten and Romy. "Security Guard from the museum in restaurant. I'll keep them distracted but you cannot let the whole team be seen together, especially when most of us were inside there today. I'm in too much danger of being made now as it is, you might need more than just a new Hacker."

[farothel]

"Oh great," Kitten muttered under her breath when she got the message, "guys, we might have a problem.  There's a security guard from the museum here.  Silk will keep him or her occupied.  Don't worry, we should be safe here, we will just have to be careful when we go out."

[Punch]

"That's lovely, so for a change of topics, does anyone have anything they can recommend from the menu? I don't mind spicy but I have no idea what to try."
As Cookie tried to guide the topic in another direction, turning his head to take a peak on the astral through the curtain to see if he could see what was going on.


OOC:
Checking how they are both doing emotionally, will let the others know if I think we have a problem on our hands.
Scoping the scene on the astral between the two, if I can see them that is...[int+asesensing+aura reading] (9d6.hits(5)=3)
and no glitching for once...

[Chrona]

Cookie can no longer see them since moving to the Guard's table.
