Knives decides he's done all he can from the outside and heads back to the bike.  Considering his homepub had been thrashed he pulled up a good pub, nothing too expensive but with a private room they could feel comfortable talking business in,  within a fifteen minute or so ride from HQ.  He'd stop in to have a pint and fill in the team.

Area Knowledge London 3 + Intuition 3 = 6d6
6d6.hits(5)=2

Bars and Clubs 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6
5d6.hits(5)=2

Assuming that results in an address he'll send it to the team.


<Alright mates, I got some ideas.  Meet me at this address when you're ready, I'll be here having a pint or two.>

Knives then texts Johnny, <Don't you worry about me mate.  You just make sure the boss man knows who turned the Yak's on those Maxwell fucks.  Could open up some door for blokes better with words than me.  ;)  Just saying mate.>

The three lions pub on the north bank of the river is good for your needs, respectable, reasonably smart, but fairly private.
It has a back room full of booths that allow for provate conversations and the beer isnt too expensive either.
Its about 10 minutes away from you and about 20 minutes for the others

Knives heads to the Three Lions Pub and sends the address to the team.  He requests a booth in the back and a pint of lager.

Mantis gets the invite and grabs some gear and heads out. Hoping on his bike he makes his way to the meet. Thankfully sleep has killed the army of trolls time to see what the mana has in the flow for me today.

the main room is pretty empty at this hour. a few suits are hustled around a couple of tables doing the whole "working lunch" thing, but the solitary barman looks bored as you enter the room.
Knives arrives first, grabs a beer and heads through to the second room, picking the furthest booth away from the door.
Hax and Mantis arrive soon after, ready to talk business.

Mantis gets himself a logger and heads to the meeting booth. I'm not sure what you all where able to get, I'm thinking if we don't have blueprints yet we might want to first make a decking trip to the city planing site and see if they have any plans on records, if we get that done quickly we should have a good lay out of the place. Mantis doesn't know if he is going to get a I have plans from anyone but decided to give his idea of a first step to the group.

Mantis sits back in the booth and sips on his pale logger as he waits for the meeting to "officially" Start.

Knives raises his glass to the team as they enter the back.  Once they have sat an ordered a beverage Knives gets to business, leaning in and keeping his voice down, "Well mates we might just have to drop the thousand quid and take the year old map Hax here was talking about.  I spent most the last couple hours gawking at the place and I've got a few ideas on ways in and ways out.  There's a car-park on the left side that could be great if we can get our hands on a swipe card or the info to fake one.  The other possible PoE is a big gate round back, problem is it's got a big wall and lots of guards.  Chances are there will still be a few guards there even in dead of night but if we have decent cover and can pull it off theoretically we could drive right through the gate pretty as you please.

"Now on to the exit plans.  Bikes' could work but it's about a half hour ride back to the east end.  As long we time it right we could always use the tube provided things go smoothly and no one is bleeding all over the place.  I also had a bit of an odd idea...  If either of you blokes has a boat just laying about not doing anything, there are a few private jetties just a short ride away from the HQ.  I kind of like the boat idea but I'm not entirely sure we could get our hands on one."

Knives takes a long drink from his pint after laying out his summation of entry and exit points, then looks to Hax and Mantis, "Ideas?  Questions?  Comments?  Concerns?  Curses?"

Mantis raises his glass when Knife does then sits back as Knife goes over some of the intel the group has gotten so far. As for the swipe card I have a very small knowledge on how to open them and manipulate them to do what you want them to. Problem is if I do get that job odds are I'm going to have a bit of trouble doing it well sustaining an invisibility spell on all three of us, so if any of you are skilled with this tech that would be great I do have a electronics kit that might make it a lot easier for you.

As for entry I was thinking I could summon a spirit get it to conceal all three of us then put an invisibility spell on each of us, Since I would be sustaining all three spells I would be a bit distracted when it comes to anything else. Also if you two could get your hands on a stealth suit that would be great if not I'll stealth you and hold the three spells in place and have the spirit help with concealing us.


After his long winded talk about what he has to bring to the table he takes a sip from his logger, pulls out a normal smoke and lights it up with his zippo that has a dragon design on it. As for the year old map, things move offices, if we don't get an other blue prints that I think will be worth the cash, we split cost 3 ways shouldn't be too bad. Hopefully even if office change there is still a good chance that walls have not. The boat idea I don't have contacts for it but we could steal one but then we upset two parties.

Seeing Mantis light up Knives' addiction kicks in and he pulls out a smoke of his own instinctively. He exhales the first drag as he speaks, "Well I've got a sequencer my problem is getting the case off without bashing the whole damned thing. Still haven't heard back from my mate about the suit, I'll ring him again in a bit.  I might be able to get ahold of one but we'll see. If not I'd rather not risk nicking one."

He takes another drag from his smoke then points it at Hax, "Any good news from the Trix?"

Mantis adds a quick comment before the teams decker has a chance to talk. The suits cost a pretty penny so if you can't rent one for cheap best plan is hide behind a spell and spirit power. With that Mantis shuts up to let the team give their ideas.

"I might could get us a boat. Though I doubt it would be cheap. One year wouldn't be a whole lot of time to change a building. I may have been able to dig more stuff up if I had more time. I haven't heard from my contact yet so I am not sure if he has mor than me on the place. We could always jack a boat and blame your friend again eh? Not to keen on trying to grab one of those goodies of a suit." hoax leans back and crosses his arms in thought.

Looking to Hax,"Well mate I'd say you got at least eight hours or so of nothing to do but look into this.   I'll get in touch with my mates and see if they can help in the nautical department.  Other than throwing down a grand we don't have a whole lot to go on."

Knives takes a drag from his smoke then turns to Mantis, "Maybe you could send them watchers up the way and give it an astral walk-by.  Wouldn't hurt."

//Hax, got an update for you. Interpol picked Xeng up in Brussels. looks like he hopped on the morning maglev under fake documents. apparently he's under heavy Yak protection so they've got no plans to rush him. They'll just monitor his movements//

<Brill mate!  I was starting to wonder if you got my message.   Put my name on one of those suits I'll take it, preferably in extra dashing but I'm not picky ;).  Pickup may be an issue, prior engagement and all, but I'll do what I can.  Thanks for the word.>

After thumbing a text back to Freddie, Knives takes a drag off his smoke then addresses the team, "Well good news and bad.  I can get one of them stealth suits but it won't be in time for this dance.  Do we have any idea where to go once we're in?  This is killing me." 

Knives pulls out a credstick and loads it with 333 ¥ and slides it over to Hax, "Get that map. I need a proper look at the inside before I can even think about a plan for it."  He looks to Mantis then nods towards Hax with a well practiced look on his face that clearly says 'cough up the cred'.
