"I can read Japanese but most of this is Chinese. Yes there is a difference. let me see that device down there. I can try to pop into it."

[Lumen]

"Didn't mean any offense mate.   Thought the Yaks were Japanese,  this might be too."

[Scawire]

Mantis not noticing any mystical items in the room is a bit board but happy that it seems like the group might still hit pay dirt. Mantis stands just out side of the door doing his best to keep his eyes and ears looking out for any intruders on the teams smash and grab.

The ancient device resembles the kit you learned to crack as a teenager and it's firewall didn't look like it'd been updated in years.
You punch through its defenses effortlessly, securing yourself an admin account on the device.
Memories of your childhood came flooding back, no AR overlays, no VR compatibility. just you, a physical keyboard and a screen.
Your commlink established a connection to it, rendering its contents as an old-style desktop.
Skimming through its file manager, you see that the majority of files haven't been touched in years and have uninteresting names to boot.
One database does stand out however; its last edit was thursday last week.
Your Edit software just about renders it in compatibility mode but butchers the formatting.
From the garbled text you can make out a list of dates, sums of money and a short letter code of two-three characters in length. Initials maybe? Transaction ID's?

I think we have about everything we are going to get here, Lets get out a ways I'll set the alarm off and erase my login after editing it so your big friend here takes the blame. Unless someone else has another idea? If noone responds immediately  Hax will head back up to the street.

[Lumen]

"Yea you lads head out, give me about ten, then trip the alarms.   Don't forget to do them in order,  happened before and it didn't end well.  After that I say we call it a night, get some rest and try again tomorrow. I got some mates who have mates and whatnot, you know. They may be able to shed some more light on our friend here."

Knives bows and gestures an 'after you' then exits behind Hax.

[Scawire]

Mantis fallows his two other runners as he keeps his counter spelling in place, you can never be too careful. Ok I'll head home try and get some sleep to kill this mana backlash I've been sporting all day. I'm hoping to get around 12 hours after that we should get started on laying out our plans some more and maybe find this inside man if we can. With that he heads for his bike hoping the party group didn't kill his bike any worse then his rigger attempt.

[Lumen]

Knives waits just inside the broken window for the others to leave.  *Now it's time to blow off some steam.*  He jerks his head to each side popping his neck as he does.  He focuses his strength and will to emulate troll-like strength.


Attribute Boost (Str) 2 + Magic 5 = 7d6
7d6.hits(5)=3
Strength is now an 8 not too shabby.


His strength heightened Knives proceeds to tear through the restaurant like a troll in a China shop. He shoulder checks pots and dishes in the kitchen. Once he gets back to the dining room he flips over the first table he comes to, smashing the next with a double axe handle.   He then pulls out the Ceska and empties the clip into the far wall.

Knives then knocks over any tables remotely near him as he makes a path to the stairs.  He takes a few heavy breaths as he looks around at his work.  "Not too bad if I do say so."

You find your bike scratched, laying on its side, having fallen off its kickstand.
It is functionally unharmed and fires up beautifully, whisking you off through the deserted streets to your home.

___Raiden_____
Computer and edit (4) test to hide your tracks on the pocket secretary
You know instinctively that you can't make too much of a break for it, you still need to stay in mutual range of the server to edit Knive's trace on the cameras and set the alarms off.
You head back outside, hop over the street and take cover in a dark alleyway within a short sprint to your bike.
You can hear the sound of knives unleashing all unholy hell on the place, pots breaking, windows smashing, the works.
The outburst of violence makes you glad he is on your team; until you hear 12 shots in rapid succession. You know the 'Met will have an armed response team on the ground in minutes, now you've really got to get cracking.

___Lumen____
Fuck that felt good.
All the tension of the evening had lifted, vented purely into this shithole of an establishment. As you pant through the adrenaline crash drain resistance test for the attribute boost please
You realise you've gone a bit far. There is no way those shots would go unheard, even in SoHo. It's time to leave.

___Raiden___
You spot Knives making his exit from the restaurant, hopping onto the bike and spinning up the rear wheels as he guns it away from the restaurant.
It's time to do your thing.
Setting alarms off are simple actions, no test needed.
-Editing a second of trideo is a complex action, you'll need at least 30 seconds of decent quality footage to cover your tracks well enough:
I reckon 10 combat turns in hot sim just doing this. Computer + edit (3) test x30 please!! critical glitches will double the time needed
You'll need one computer + edit (4) test to hide your datatrail on the server as you log out too

[Lumen]

Resisting 2S worth of drain.
Body 5 + Willpower 5 = 10d6
10d6.hits(5)=4 Successfully Resisted


*Drek!  Ok maybe the whole clip was a bit much...*
He gives Hax a big shit eating grin as picks up his bike and sits on it.  He'll sit and wait with Hax till he's ready to jet.

<make sure to keep an eye on me knives> *Lets make it look good*

now to erase me mark same as the above, 13 dice. computer 4, edit 6, +1 improved ability, +2 VR
13d6.hits(5)=6 sweet. not crit glitches on the edits, and I did not see any glitches. also I would set the alarms off at about the time after knives began shooting.

 after he does this if nothing happens he will get about 15 blocks away, and trace back to find any cameras that may have seen them going into the house and or leaving (other than the ones the place had)

[Scawire]

Mantis heads home with his thoughts dwelling on sleeping. His head really needs a break from all this shadow hoping. All that Mantis does when he gets home is strip off his gear and hit the pillow, it deserves the pounding it has been mocking him all day since the first bit of mana kick in his head and said that the trolls are playing a special thrash song just for you.


I know I should roll to see how much stun damage is healed. I'm guessing I can get 12 hours of down time to try and heal his 5 stun damage.

Heal test is Body + will 1hour (extended test)
Body 4 + Will 5 = 9 every hour
1st hour

2nd hour
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4159783/ 1 hit

TAKE THAT MANA....... I can get back on my feet and cast a spell another day.

By the time you get home, unwind and hit the hay, its about 2am. you awake at 2pm, fully rested
If the others make an early start you will be unavailable till the afternoon

The video wasn't a bad effort given how long it took you to knock up. A few frames at the beginning were a bit mediocre but the important bit, the bit where the place gets smashed up, was brilliant and gave a really clear facial picture of Micky "The Mugger" Maxwell.
You clear your footprint as much as you can from the restaurant's server and sprint the 50 metres to your bike, gunning the engine and putting distance between you two and the restaurant.
A few concerned folk had exited the strip club to see what was going on and a couple of cameras could be made out on shops down the road from the restaurant, but the distant "thud thud thud" of rotor blades discouraged you from doing an about turn.
You arrive home around 2.25am

___Lumen___
Hax comes belting out of the alleyway towards his bike, You give him a wave, slip the clutch and open the throttle, making the most of the deserted streets to get some distance between you and the scene.
By the time you get home it is just gone 2.20am

[Raiden]

Hax removes his coat and shoes and falls onto the bed. *ah, that was entertaining, I hope I covered our tracks well enough.. Time for sleep I can feel my mind slowing* He conks out for about 4 hours Sustenance power when he awakes he gets to cracking on some data searches and to sift though anything useful he got last night from the place. sends a message out to his team for when they awake.
<we need to get in contact with his guy as fast as we can, I will check around the matrix for anything. Let me know when you can head out.>
Will post rolls later today.. im tired, also if anything useful is on the data I copied anything you want me to roll again?
