The alarm goes off in Knives' AR and he pipes up, "Alright lads, time to settle up the tab and move on."  He pays off his drinks with a decent tip and heads out to his bike.  He waits for the others to follow and mount up before heading off towards GGHQ.  Once there he'll park several blocks away and walk to across the street from the front.  On the way he addresses Hax, "If there's any way you could get a 'old of their personnel files it would be brill.  I assume the better the card I'm able to nick the easier it would be to make it do what we want, null sweet?"  Then he looks to Mantis, "Or if you could find drek out like that with some of them spirits, would be equally brill."

Aiming to be there about 17:45 Knives finds a nice place to loiter and lights up a scent masking smoke keeping an eye on the front door, using his vision magnification.  Using a mix of experience, gut feeling, and any guidance the team was able to provide Knives begins to tail the person he believed to be the highest ranking one to leave the building on foot. 

Let me know what you'd like me to roll for spotting the top dog, depending on what the team provides.
I'll go ahead and roll  shadowing roll for good measure.
Shadowing 3 + Intuition 3 + Edge 3 = 9d6, exploding 6s invoked.  Damn you stealth skill based on Intuition!  Spending a point of Edge to not foul this up.

Once he gets in close Knives will focus mana to boost his Agility, before trying to nick the card from said individual.
Attribute Boost (Agility) 2 + Magic 5 = 7d6.
7d6.hits(5)=3
Agility = 9

Palming 3 + Agility 9 = 12d6.
12d6.hits(5)=7 Most excellent!

After burning an hour or two in the bar, the fresh air was quite refreshing. A clear and crisp day left the evening air quite chilly as the sun began to dip behind the towering structures of london's central business hubs.
Kicking out time at the office began to arrive as you do, a stream of suits leaving the surrounding buildings. They swarmed around the bus stops and streamed into the nearby restaraunts like some homogenous mass. Watching the saririmen brought a certain feeling of pity, or was it disgust? To the surface. You spot a slightly nicer suit amongst the crush, heading towards the underground, his suit was clearly darker, better material and screamed "middle management" at you.
As you close the distance, the roar of a throaty V8 reverberated down the street, echoing in the pristine glass-and-steel lined street. Clearly the real-money men of the operation drove into town. Swanky bastards.
The westwind turbo's tires screeched to a halt as the lights turned to red outside GGHQ.
Your middle manager headed down to the westbound platform, headed for the hammersmith line

Right, got you a guy for the exfil. For 1200 (my fees inclusive) he can take you as far as the thames barrier. 2K will get you out as far as clacton or south kent. I'll need dates and times from you if you want me to book this guy.

Hearing the roar of the V8 Knives sighs, *Look at me I'm a fancy corporate wanker!  As much as I'd like to teach him a lesson he's already drawn too much attention.*  Knives heads off following the middle management suit down to the tube line. Deftly maneuvering through the bustling crowd he closes in on his target.


Hope I can still use the rolls I posted last night. Let me know if I need to roll anything else.

The hustle and bustle of the tube platform is the perfect hunting ground for pickpockets. You gain on your target, bumping into him and knocing him flying.
His glasses hit the deck, crunched under the mass footfall.
He looks around, dazed, but thankful as you give him a hand back to his feet.
His thankfulness opens him up, you seize the opportunity in a flash.
His card and a credstick are relieved from his belt in a second and you stuff them into your inside jacket pocket as you offer your sincere apologies to the poor mug. Doubling back through the crowd is like wading throug treacle, a constant stream of suited robots pushing against you.
add 200 nuyen from the credstick
Getting back onto the main street, you inspect your bounty. The writing on the card implies it'll give you level 2 clearance. Whether that is for the 2nd level offices or level 2 security clearance you don't know..

Mantis summons a small watcher that will only last one hour. Once the spirit is summomed Mantis gets his little helper to first probe at the building to see if there is any mystic defences. once the probe is done Mantis will send him inside to conferm that yhe plans match the building layout expecilly level 2 and4.

ooc rolll notes  summon + magic each hit gives one hour but ive limited the watcher to one hour
Drain will 5 + logic.7 + dairdrenaline 1 =13 vs 1stun

Once back out on the street Knives lights up a victory smoke and texts the team, <Level 2 clearance secured mates.  No bloody clue what that means but we got it.  I say yes to the boat.  We can take the tubes here and make a quick get away back to the east end.>

log 7, summoning 3 (10d6.hits(5)=5)
resist (13d6.hits(5)=4)
successful summon, no drain

The mana melds and weaves under your will, taking form as a watcher spirit.
Master, what would you have me do?

You instruct the spirit to search the target building and report back to you, giving it a description of what to look for based on the blueprints you.
20 minutes pass as you chat with the lads, eyeing the foot traffic in the early evening.
Master, I have completed the search. the building layout is as you described. No walls have been moved. An astral barrier prevented me from searching the fourth floor. I detected multiple life forms in the room you described as "security", and several that appeared to be patrolling. I did not encounter any other presence on the astral plane.


___All____
As you wait for the spirit to complete it's search you cast your eyes over the card knives returned with.
It bears the GridGuide Corporate logo and a holographic picture of Joel Jenkins.
Below his name, it states LEVEL 2 CLEARANCE
Below this is an embedded RFID chip.
The flip side bore the note: "Report all card losses immediately to GG security office. Failure to do so is a disciplinary offence."
The corporate headquarters address was inscribed on the rear of the card as well as commcode channels for Human Resources.

After looking over the card and thinking about it for a few minutes,  "I guess this means we need to go tonight to make sure this isn't reported.  Is that enough time for the boat to be ready?"

Once Mantis's watcher helper fills him in he informs the group tje good news that the floors seem to match the layout they shelled out the coin for. Mantis lights his lighter and stares at the flame wishing that he would have.lite the resturant on fire last night, as he gazes at the flame he lets the group know about the barrier on the fourth flor.
