"Yea you're tellin me mate."  Knives eyes the old building suspiciously as they slowly approach.  He brings the car to a stop in front of the large door and shuts down the headlights.  Switching his contacts over to low light setting he looks all around the car.

"Alright mates, cover me I'm gonna go check it out.  Dunk you got a gun back there?"

"Belgium myself, grew up near Aachen. Drink up, We'll be mounting up soon.
Word of advice, watch out for these guys. Theey're know as the serpents. Slippery bastards. Good mage rides with them too, has a preference for illusions. convinced three guys last year they were riding off the edge of a mountain. they crashed, two died. Alpha wants you to shut him down, one way or another. Know what I mean?"

"Yeah, got a pistol and half a clip. What you got? Right, lets go check this place out."
Dunk pushes himself forward in his seat, drawing his pistol and groaning as he stretches out into the cold morning air.

"I've got me blades, a few throwing knives, and a full clip in the taser."  Knives exits the car and can't help but stretch his weary muscles as Dunk does.  He then draws his main blade and reactivates it's magical properties.  *Huh, must've turned off when I blacked out.*

He does a quick check on the taser's clip then looks to the others, "Should we try the front door?"

"Always a good idea" She takes a large drink from her mug,  "Slippery eh? Sounds like fun..." she takes another large drink and winks to Deet, "Well, We'll just have to see exactly how good he is. I enjoy a little rough play."

Perception test on the drive up and again when he gets to the site.

Perception (Visual) 1(3) + INT 2 + Vision Enhancement 3 - 4 Poor Visibility = 4
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4318842/ 0 hits (YA trees.... Trees look cool)



Mantis gets out of the car and makes sure he keeps Knives in sight. Once out of the car Mantis hears the words of the shadows telling him they always geek the mage first. Hey Knives I'll fallow you up I'm just going to activate my stealth encase we have some kind of surprise waiting for us. Mantis puts on his helmet and then turns on the Polymer Coating of his suit. Well lets hope I'm just being jumpy and there was nothing behind the car..... We will see and hopefully if there was something they won't see me. Mantis stands by the car as Knives goes for a looks see, after he makes it a few feet Mantis will fallow Knives keeping a few feet between them.

Though you take a good long look out of the window, you see nothing but the shadows cast by the scrub.
Stepping out into the cool night air is a nice change from the stuffy insides of the car after your long journey down from the coast.
The whole situation had you on edge though, an eery silence descended on the place as the car's hybrid electric turbine wound down, leaving you with only the sound of the breeze.
Your breath formed in little clouds in front of your face, starlight poking through the broken cloud cover.
Off in the distance you see the orange glow of Paris, flickering warning lights denoting the presence of the tall buildings to low flying aircraft, marking out the skyline even in the relative dark of the early morning.
Your stealth coating engages, blurring your outline and replacing it with a much blacker version.
It takes a little while for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. You strain against the darkness for more detail on the building, but cant make out anymore than the brief glimpse you got of it under the headlight's dipped beams.

___Lumen___
Flicking the mode into low-light cast an eerie green hue over your surroundings. The dim starlight poking its head through the clouds combined with the light pollution of Paris provides more than enough light for the amplifiers to work with. The outline of the building is crisp, if not featureless. All the windows on the side of the building facing you are barred, with the bottom layer boarded up.
A maglock panel of some description is located next to the door. The outbuilding has seen better days, one of the exterior walls is beginning to crumble and an old wooden door hangs lazily off one hinge
Yeah, keep quiet. I cannae say i like this one bit.
He moves slowly, pistol in hand, towards the door.

Knives slowly approaches the door and inspects the maglock pad by the door.

Perception 4 + Intuition 3 + Enhancements 3 - DM 2 = 8d6
8d6.hits(5)=3

Security design 2 + Intuition 3 - DM 2 = 3d6
3d6.hits(5)=1

I was hoping for some insight about this places security but that's 2 1s.


He can't help but think back to the 'bang up job' he did last time the team needed past a maglock.  *At least that wanker Mickey got some come uppins.*

Deets eyebrows raise slightly, a half smile spreading across his face at your "rough play" comment.
As you take a hearty glug of the beer, the noise of throaty Harley engines firing up outside grabs your attention. Alpha's planning meeting had come to an end and they were streaming out the door.
"Show time. Drink up."
Deet swings his mace in preparation, his bulky muscles rippling with the modest effort or his practice swings. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those blows at full strength. Embbeded blood in the crevices tells you that a few people probably have.

___Lumen___
The maglock is a standard, off the shelf codelock. Bulk produced and sold cheaply in hardware stores, you'd know it anywhere. A tiny screen adorns the top of the lock next to an alpha numeric pad.
The "0" key appears to reflect the green hue of your night vision slightly more than the others.

Mantis stands back a bit from the building and tries to keep any eye out for anything making a move on the group. Being an Ork Mantis hopes his eyes will quickly readjust to the light in this dark shadowy part of France, but not wanting to rely only on his eyes he double checks that his ear buds are working there best to detect anything wanting to kill and eat the group.

Leaning in close Knives takes a hard look at the keypad to the maglock then he shrugs, "Fuck it, worth a shot.  Here's to hoping the best of the British is with us again."  With that he presses the 0 key four times and hits enter.  *I've heard of worse keycodes.  At least it's not all fives.*

If the thing is giving you any problems I do have a little skill with electronics and a kit in the car that might help. Just so you know. Mantis keeps eyeing the surroundings hoping nothing attacks the group.

Knives nods to Mantis, "Yea mate you give it a try.  If you can pop it open I've got a sequencer that should do the trick."

Holding your breath as you type in the code, you are amazed when the LED lights up green. A loud clunk can be heard as the door lock disengages.

Knives stands back clearly gobsmacked.  "Frag me it actually worked!"  He tugs on the handle and opens the door just enough to peak in.

Perception 4 + Intuition 3 + Enhancements 3 + Actively Looking 3 - DM 2 = 11d6
11d6.hits(5)=7


"Come on mates get inside."  He cracks the door a little bit wider and slips inside leaving enough room for the others to follow behind and shut the door.

Heading outside, there must have been 20-30 bikes all in formation. the roar of the engines is phenomenal!
Deet follows you out and shows you onto his bike, a huge Harley davidson with stacks of customised parts. The gurgle of the engine on standby is delicious, as is the smell of the methanol enhance race fuel it runs on. Deet flashes you a big tusky smile, pointing at the AR console timer and mouthing "20 minutes ride" to you over the din of the roaring engines
