--begin transmission-- Going in for faster speeds, watch for me and send a message if we gotta book it, WOOHOO. --end transmission--
Hax takes no time into hoping into the nearest most important looking terminal he can trusting that these guys want the money enough to watch his back while he has some fun.
also, in case it helps security design- 10 10d6.hits(5)=3 - sorry thaaat would be a wrong char but the proper role, I will roll again if need be.
As soon as he get in he calls up Ryuu <To Ryuu: alright lets get this party started man>
Ryuu teamwork test on hacking 8d6  (Yay I remembered this time) ryuu load out- armor, exploit, analyze, attack. = 8d6.hits(5)=3 so 3 extra dice on my rolls
hacking 6+6+2+2+3= 22d6
22d6.hits(5)=9
22d6.hits(5)=6 hopefully just two chances for a 6 stealth

Mantis watches the guy drop to the ground. Good he is out cold. Best move fast. Mantis know someone is going to come looking to see what the panic button wanted. It would be a good idea to coordinate with Knives.

Mantis quickly subvocals to the group since he knows time is short.

Quick question, I have a bit of skills on the 'Trix nothing cutting edge, and I have an agent that can hack. Do you want me to fish around this stunned bloaks computer or stay on the defensive against the response team? If I an on the defense I say we coordinate our strikes knives I'll point out the target then we both strike him that seemed to work on the last two.


With the question sent Mantis waits for the team leader Knives to tell him to hack or stand guard once knowing he will jump to it.

Knives has to actually type out his message on his com so I assume it's a complex action to type for the first pass.


<That's bloody brilliant Mantis!  You muck about on this wanker's terminal leaving a dummy trail.  Hax can hopefully quietly get the real stuff.  That leaves the goons to me, I prefer it that way really.  Make it quick though,  we still need to make it out of this bloody place.  I'm gonna run distraction at the end of the corridor but we need to haul ass as soon as you two are done.>


For the second pass Knives moves to the end of the corridor and if possible arrange the shitty options into at least partial cover.

After sending out instructions Knives moves into position and tries to set up the plant in front of the water cooler against the wall of the corridor.  *It's better than nothing.*

You hack an account, but your brute force technique triggers the hosts defenses. thankfully, your mute software slows the response
you get a free pass before the node can respond

Mantis runs over to the computer and sees what he is able to do with the access this late night worker has. As he gets to the computer he decides to remind Hax what they are looking for. Via comm link and subvocal mic. Remember we are looking for this guys activities at this time and date. Mantis adds the license plate and the day and time he was doing his stake out when the crazy mage gave him a bad night.

Once at the computer Mantis first sees if he can get this guys access to get the info he is after. Mantis's invisible fingers start playing around with the system.


First roll I think is my loser level R1 DataSearch with the R value of the system minus 3 for the 3 spells. Too bad I couldn't use my logic that would rock the system.

You see from the half-written report that the suited man had been tasked with covering up an expensive incident between officers from the lord protectors office and suspected smugglers.
Numerous apps are running in the background, including the vehicle registry database

Mantis sends a command to his "Butler 2.0" to link with the computer so he can have his agent help him in the search. Once he has got his comm link working on linking with the computer Mantis flips to the screen with the vehicle registry database. Once there he will first start a search for the license he has on the runaway mage then go from there.

Typing the registration number into the search field brings up the exact match of the van you chased.
It appears to be registered to a E.Bernhardt & Co. as a commercial vehicle.
The listed address for the company is Unit 9, Croxley Green Business Park, Watford.

The interface allows you to select one of three options for your search results:
-Fines and penalty history
-Incident history
-Recent route data

Jacking in the Commlink to the holoterminal brings up a security error. System privileges allow the use of personal commlinks for storage only to prevent transmission of harmful virus/trojan activity.
The notification tells you that your attempt to load Butler 2.0 had been reported to the onsite administrators as a breach of company policy and will appear on your permanent record..

Mantis laughs. Ha ha my permanent record with this company is shot. If I ever try for a job here I hope they don't check my record or run a lie detector exam I think I might fail it. With that Mantis ops to run a Recent route data search and since they let you save to a comm link he decides to store the info he has gotten so far onto his comm link. (If unable to very quickly do this, Mantis will sub-vocal a record to his Butler 2.0 by reading registry and address info)

The van had obviously been very active in the last 3 months and had accrued a huge amount of data. either that or the system was running slow, as the progress bar on the download took for ever.
18%
19%
21%......

You finish making the makeshift barricade near the door only to hear the whir of the lift motor starting up on the other side of the doors.
It was surely only a matter of seconds before the stunned guard was discovered..

Mantis decides to let the team of his find. (Sub Vocal) Well guys good news and bad news, I've found what we are looking for, The thing is this download thinks it should let a glacier beat it in a race to completion so it will be some time. Mantis is glad the team is under his spells and spirit since with the way things are going a response team will be here before this computer learns that people don't like to wait for anything.

Knives pulls his Flashpak and Flashbang grenade from his combat vest and sets them both for remote detonation.  He sets them both in the potted plant, the Flashpak aimed at the lift.  Once set he heads to the office with the best line on the plant and tucks into the doorway. 


First pass:  Simple Ready Flashpak, Simple Ready Flash Bang, Free walk.


Now that his makeshift trap is set he pulls out his com to quickly review the blueprints then sends a response to Mantis. <I can work with that.  Just make sure you're ready to run once you've got the paydata.>  Finally he motions for the taser to return to his ready hand.

Second pass: Simple Check the map, Simple Send message, Free Arm Slide Action!

As you finish setting the trap, the whirring motor stops and is soon replaced by panicked shouting echoing in the large marble and glass atrium below you.

___both_____
A deafening sound of metal reverberating on metal tears into your ears. A general alarm has been sounded, an old-skool hacker-proof alarm at that.

Mantis hears the scream of the alarm. Well the fan is hit with the bollocks, Time to earn the pay. Mantis gives the team a heads up. (Sub-Vocal) We have just hit over half way for the down load, Knives buy me a bit more time then I will come running once this data is safe. Mantis keeps looking up from the computer keeping an eye peeled for anyone entering the room. I wish I knew more hacking I could try and erase my tracks but I have no idea how to do that.

A "ping" could just about be discerned in amongst the din of the alarm system.
The doors of the lift open and two security guards barrel out towards the double doors, taser in one hand and glowing, menacing stun batons in the other.
They are wearing heavier gear than the nightwatchman you encountered earlier, a more robust helmet, a thicker protective armour and an obvious communications headpiece can be seen as they run to the door.
ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!!!
