Knives is clearly beginning to get frustrated,  first he proper fucked the maglock now it looks like it would take Hax an hour to cover it up.  "Fuck it lads, we'll just have to make it look like someone else hit the place.  Forget that pile of drek can you make it look like this bloke broke in here?"  He sends Hax a picture of a large ugly troll along the bottom it reads 'Mickey'.

He pulls the Ceska from his concealed holster and grabs it by the barrel.   Using the handle like a hammer Knives smashes in the nearest window and clears the frame of lose glass using the thick sleeve of his great coat.  He forces a cough as the glass shatters.

Mantis is getting tired of watching his AR feed show his little drone flying around looking for Metahumans that are not there, so he sends it a new command. "Go inside the building through the broken window and start looking inside for metahumans." Mantis has fallowed the other two to the maglock door and is waiting to see what they want to do.

A mischievous grin grows across Knives faces as he responds to Hax, "Something like that.  Let's just say I owe him more than one."

With that he heads in through the broken window after the drone.  First things first he begins lurking around the back, looking for an office.


Keeping eyes peeled:
Perception 4 + Intuition 3 + Enhancements 3 = 10d6
10d6.hits(5)=5

and keeping quiet...for now...
Infiltration 3 + Agility 6 = 9d6
9d6.hits(5)=5
Very nice!

____Lumen____
You enter the back door into a small holding area full of pallets of rice bags and other ingredients before passing into the main kitchen area.
It smelt weird and looked grimy, even in the half light spilling through the windows from the street.
There was nothing special about the kitchen area, just rows of steel preparation areas separated by hobs, cookers and sinks. Several large walk-in freezers and fridges ran along the back of the kitchen and contained nothing suspicious, just ingredients.
A small trid projector stood in one corner, currently powered off.
A large swing door separates the kitchen from the main restaurant area, from what you see by peeping through the window in the swing door, it is also deserted. the chairs are up on the tables and no-one is home.
One corner of the ceiling has a motion detector mounted on it, from this angle you can't make out the camera you saw from the inside. you assume it must be mounted above the doorway that you're peering through.

____Scawire____
Your drone scans the holding area and kitchen repeatedly, reporting no new contacts. Once it completes its command it returns to the centre of the kitchen and requests new orders.
in future, please can you run perception tests for it using pilot + clearsight

Knives takes a minute to type out a message to his companions to make sure things were going the way he thought they were. <Oi, Hax you've got this system on lock down yea?  There's a motion sensor on the far side of the dining area, I just wanted to make sure you don't let it see me till I want it to see me.  I haven't found any evidence of our target being here so far but if there's an office here it'll probably be on the other side.>

He waits for confirmation.

*Perfect.*  <Well I'd like to find whatever we can now before we work on selling the cover.  Besides I'll probably make a lot of noise and we'll have to jet soon afterwards.>

Knives moves on into the dining room, only giving it a quick glance before exploring the rest of the restaurant looking for any doorway which could be an office or employees only type room.

______Lumen_________
The dining room is awash with a mottled yellow casting long shadows over the tables thanks to the streetlight shining in through the mucky windows.
All the chairs had been placed on the tables, presumably so someone could come and run a mop around the floor unhindered.
Hax must have done his job correctly as no audible alarms sound as you make your way past the motion detector, judging by its apparent age, it probably didnt work anyway.
At the far end of the dining room a small stairway led to the toilets. Aside from the main entrance, and the door to the kitchen, this was the only other place an office or private room could be.

____Hax____
You stand vigil over the security node, monitoring the camera feeds and motion detectors so as not to trip any alarms.
The "Business" node is a spartan affair, a simply rendered office room was the sole sculpt of the node, a padlocked filing cabinet to the right of the door you entered acting as file storage and a large desk in front of you served as the work area, several terminal sessions remained open at the desk, currently accessing spreadsheets of suppliers' costs, monthly takings and other trivial business affairs.
You pry your analyze tools into the nooks and crannies of the virtual office, revealing a well sculpted guard dog stationed at the far side of the desk and stood to attention.
Your analyze software pings back a response:
<<IC detected in node>>

___Scawire___
Your drone still hovered, having found no trace of metahumans in the area, its task complete.
From your position on guard duty outside the restaurant, you hear a commotion kicking off further down the road.
The rowdy lads you saw earlier had been denied entry to the strip bar round the corner and after a heated exchange with the bouncers, were "encouraged" to leave the area.
The large group of lads began to head your way, pissed off and disgruntled at the lack of naked thai birds and two off them nursing swollen faces, clearly "gifts" from the bulky doormen.

*Aha!  Hopefully this bloke is down here.*

Knives quietly traverses the stairs to the WC.

The stairs creak and groan under your weight as you descend into almost total darkness, the low light mode on your contact lenses taking over the hard work and rendering your view with a green tinge.
You spot a second motion detector at the end of the corridor guarding two doors:
"Toilets" to your immediate right, and "Private" ahead of you. To the right of the door labelled private is a keypad.

*Oh bugger.  Better ask Hax before I break it this time.*

Knvies pulls out his com and types out a message to the others, <Oi mates, found a promising door down here but it's got a keypad.  Can you help me out here Hax or should I just go ahead and rip the damned thing from the wall?>

Already considering less than subtle ways to bypass the door he tries his best to inspect the door and what it could be made of though the green hue was not helping.


I'll go ahead and make a normal roll and let you subtract away as I'm sure there are negative modifiers.
Perception 4 + Intuition 3 + Enhancements 3 + Actively Looking 3 = 13d6.
13d6.hits(5)=2
Or my roll could be so crappy it doesn't matter :P

Mantis makes use of his subvocal mic to inform the group of the incoming metas. Hey guys this is Mantis I've spotted incoming metas that seem to be heading our way. They are the rowdy group we saw earlier. With the info give to both of his teammates he decides to head into the target building. Best we both get inside Hax hopefully they will pass us by. With that Mantis enters the building and commands the drone to return to him for pick up. As he gets the bot back he rubs his temples now I wish I did use my med kit maybe a few pain killers would have helped out by now, I guess I just hope this doesn't take too long so I can have a great sleep in tonight.

<Good idea Mantis, if our friend is in here I wouldn't mind an extra set of mitts on my side.  Not that I'm worried but I'd rather not take chances.  Any chance one of you lads has a flashlight?>

Knives waits for Mantis to join him before making any rash decisions.


Edit: Saw CS' response right after I posted.
