Andromeda really did no hear a word Cookie said.

"Why should I think in your place? Don't you think we all have stuff to do?" Andromeda was steaming. ...Silk would never said stupid things like this, Silk would never need to say them, She would just go in kill a few people break a few hearts and come out with all the information needed. this guy on the other hand would most likely tip them off even before entering the building ... "We should just tie him up and stash him away - he is more a liability then a asset!"  Andromeda Was referring to all the other team.  Most would not understand why she was acting like she did, but Kitten might get it.  Silk was one of the first Andromeda bounded and the pain of losing her and the pain was only made greater by the substitution.

" hey hey, I told you, I'll meet with her, and one way or another, I will get something for you guys. I was just wondering if there was anything you thought would be helpful in that regard, simple no or something would have sufficed. Any way, I can go get a real or appointment with the head honcho, or we can get the tech guy to spoof me one. * this one has some fire in her.. and its directing the flames at me. Best show out this time. *

Hijo de puta, i don't believe, i'm the one who has to mediate! Gibbon was itching to crack a joke or two to take the edge of the situation away but he felt that he would achieve just the opposite effect.

"Andromeda, i understand your feelings, but you're starting to make a scene. You know we can't always get the sharpest tools in the shed to work with." The dwarf was very careful not to use a soothing voice, just giving his usual friendly demeanor. "So please concentrate on your part, and tell us by what time we have to deliver the vehicle to you if we'd like you to install those electronics for avoiding unwanted trackers." He then turned to Rorek, and despite speaking in the same tone, he could feel that the dwarf wasn't as friendly as with Andromeda. "As for you, unfortunately we don't have any invites, nor shortcuts, nor backdoors for that meet. Otherwise we might have been able to do it ourselves. We were hoping that you would be able to make things like that happen as we are in dire need at that area at the moment. So do your darn job, pendejo, and don't make us regret that we let you in on the loop." Then for peace, he added "I know it's hard to get in at a later point and get the others to respect you right away, but believe me, you have it far better than the one Pulse replaced."

Gibbon directed his following words to all present. "Now, i'd like to ask everybody to shut up for a minute, while i prepare the hookah. It's a four-hooker and i don't mind sharing. While i do that we should calm down and gather our thoughts why we want that sesión de puta with the museum head honcho. De acuerdo?"

Note: Not too much but i decided not to use Edge, it is already very rare of Gibbon to put this much energy into mediation.[/spoiler]

Shooting a look at Andromeda with raised eyebrows, before relaxing his expression to address the table, the tone of his voice slightly raised but completely neutral.
If that means are we in agreement or something then, yes, I agree.

Kitten didn't say anything.  She had just been about to when Gibbon did.  He had to learn a bit about leadership, she found, but if it worked, all was well.  And she could always give him a couple of pointers after the mission.

"very well then. Guess its time about time to get the ball rolling. Gimme a day and I can get us in. Rorek cracks a grin "sorry if I am not quite as bright as people your used to hun, we all have our strengths, and we all have our weak areas, thats why we are a team isn't it? I'll try to read up a bit on this logistics thing though so I know a bit." Rorek gives a wink not entirely directed at any one person in the room.

After the exchange things take a better turn over drinks, food and the Hookah. Some might think it's a little early for this but a bonding exercise is a bonding exercise and in the shadows it can't hurt to do it when you have a free moment.
Kitten is briefed on her SIN, she is very lucky that the guy her contact knows is in Seattle, she will be able to pick up her SIN first thing in the morning, at a shipping container at the docks of the Puget Sound, which makes up for when she is accidentally served an insect dish, without being cooked. Luckily the Praying Mantis are removed by the waitress quickly.
Pulse's  sprite returns with a full rip of the relevant data. The museums delivery procedures are archaic, they are only given broad estimates of timing and amounts for their deliveries on the same day it is happening and usually only 5 or so hours notice. If any extra security has been arranged it doesn't show from the data here.

Hoping Silk had not forgotten about the Jammer Andromeda contacted her.

>> Yo Silk, so had you any progress with the smart jammer we spoke about?
Hope you did, cuz i do not trust the new guy with anything at the moment. Can you really not come back on the run?<<

Daybreak, it was what Cookie referred to as one of those mornings as took his time walking around with nothing on but a t-shirt reading "So ask me about TBI" packing the gear he would need for later on, that being a spare set of clean-ish clothes and his old stealth suit.
After which, he proceeded to put on the rest of his clothes on, a dirty pair of blue denims, a worn out pair of shoes and his jacket, checking his weapons over and holstering them he sent off a quick text on his commlink to Andromeda.
Hope I'm not disturbing you too much, sending you the info on where you can pick me up and then we can go grab Gibbon, fyi I'll be around there in about three hours, thanks in advance.
after sending the message he also forwarded the address for his usual pickup spot, checking his watch showed that he had hours to kill, which was more than enough time to sort out a liquid lunch and get some breakfast, time to see what was left in the cupboard.

After taking a taxi to the docks and getting the SIN, she went back home and started filling out the application for the function she had seen the day before.  She downplayed her Yucatan experience, just in case there was an Aztec person 'helping' with the recruitment.  In place she put emphasis on her Lagos and Chicago experience, both regions where logistics were very important.

With her application sent (a bit before lunchtime) she also sent the link to a 'logistics for dummies' to the face, so he would at least stop embarrassing himself.  Now she only had to wait.

In the morning Andromeda receives a message from Silk saying there's no way she can come back on the job, her covers too likely to be blown now and there's only so much she can do disguise wise. She hopes they can work together soon and the smart jammer should arrive at Kouyuu's yard for her in 2 days.

Kitten's visit to the docks is simple, but by no means unimportant. inside the shipping container the walls seem to be  painted in a psychedelic spiral of black and white, almost hypnotically designed, as you shut the container's door behind you though the pattern immediately fades to just black, then begins to shift and twirl, changing into many squirming patterns. it is obvious the walls are actually covered in trideo screens, being used in some contemporary high lifestyle artistic way.

A diamond shaped table of glass sits between you and the man who is supposedly the forger, suddenly the table bursts into light and brightens the whole room, as a hundred or so candles burst into flame on the table.
"Good morning." says the man, his face pale and sullen, though sitting he appears lanky and thin, a human with well groomed hair, deathly pale skin and a dark look in his eyes. If it wasn't for his aura telling you he was human, you would have thought you were trapped in a box with a vampire.
"Thank you for your patronage. If you ever require anything again, all you need do is pay. Fake SINs may be a specialty of mine but i will do anything at all if the price is right." He slides a datachip across the table, once slotted it uploads the new SIN for you, with the relevant naming and job sections left fill-able by you to tailor this SIn to your liking. "You paid a good price for this, so you received it in timely fashion."
Kitten can now add a Rating six Fake SIN and the 6/1 contact "Nise".

Last night was filled with a lot of disappointments. Silk giving up on the job and her replacement to boot. On the other hand Pulse looked quit capable in the matrix stuff, so the truck-jacking should actually could be easier then expected. But losing 2 members of the team on the first day, even if they just bailed is never a good sign for the run.

Thinking this Andromeda was already finished with the shower and breakfast. Casually dressing she run trough the messages she had received during the last half hour. Silks Message was a bitter sweet disappointment, ... So i will have to Work with the baffon - Rorek ... Was on her mind, ... at least she will help us even if she is out ... the beeping of her comlink starts blinking as the message from cookie arrives.

>>Will pick you up ASAP, Any word from Gibbon?<< was quickly written as she moved down the stairs and into the armory. the usual place of her Taser was empty, The row of Uzi was like thorn in her eye, as her favorite side arm was not in her possession anymore, not for a while now.  Holstering a Predator IV and taking her Sniper Rifle she leaves in her Shin.

Before the night was out, Sergei made sure to cover his tracks - it wouldn't do to have a spider do a review and notice that the guard's commlink had been hacked, after all.  Hopefully if I just corrupt the log, it would be seen as a normal malfunction...



Threading Corrupt (15d6.hits(5)=5)

Fading Resistance - using 3 Threading hits, DV is 3S (13d6.hits(5)=5)

Corrupt Access Log (13d6.hits(5)=8, 13d6.hits(5)=3, 13d6.hits(5)=1)

Based on the Corruption Table, this is well more than enough hits.




The following morning, he awakens back at his apartment, ready to get to work.  First thing's first - better get an idea of what sort of system I'm working with here.  Planting himself firmly in his least decrepit chair, Pulse slips into VR and once again laments the fact that he doesn't have a decent med-drone these days.  Putting that thought aside, he navigates over to the museum's node and pulls up his Analyze complex form - which takes on the simple, if perhaps overly literal, appearance of a pair of binoculars and examines the museum's systems.


Not sure how many nodes he sees, so I'm just going to put up a few rolls in case of the likely event that there's more than one visible.

Matrix Perception Tests (10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=1)

Details sought in this order:  Firewall Rating, hidden connection to other nodes, System Rating, and encryption status.

The node is public access due to visitors to the museum, it is sculpted to look like a simplified version of the museum, allowing patrons to see what display is in each room currently, icons of fake art line the walls. of the digital building. The firewall is 4, there appears to be no hidden connections, it is the one node, system is 4 and nothing is encrypted.

If you wish to make hacking rolls as i will likely be offline due to time differences, you may roll for the firewall as well, there is a resident analyze 4 program.

@Andromeda: Haven't heard anything from him yet, going to give him a call in a bit, after all we've still got plenty of time unless you want to get started early?.

@Gibbon: You up yet? Andromeda's up earlier than I thought she would be and may want to start early too, just warning you in case, apologies if I'm disturbing you.



OOC: posting when half asleep, never a good idea.
