"Personel entrance it is," Jade said, "Judy will disable the camera, or loop it, then open the door and we go in.  Take out everybody who crosses our way and get the package as quickly as possible.  The guards in a place like that aren't really interested in picking a fight, so if we have to take out people, try to do it non-lethally and without noise if possible.  A good whack on the head should do the trick.  Also we put something over our faces so they won't be able to recognise us, or at least not easily.  I don't think there will be any spirits in a low-level place as that, but if there are, Joel, they're yours.  Even a stupid watcher can betray us, so keep an eye out.  Any remarks or questions?"

Sounds like a plan to me. We'll need to split the stuff down off the pallet it's stored on, Its only a car I drive, not a truck. Where do you want me, outside with the engine running and eyes on the door or with you guys inside?

"Two crates easily fitting into someone's arms, about 50 kilograms each with 20 canisters filled with liquid in each," Jade said after she consulted a file on her commlink where she had put all that information, "so Matt's car should be enough to hold it.  Matt, Maybe you can best stay in the car and keep an eye out on the surroundings.  Have a fly drones above, weather permitting, to see police or other security vehicles approaching from a couple of blocks away.  The other drone can come inside, so we have some extra guns and to keep in touch.  Is that possible?"

More than possible. I'll keep the engine running then, you'll just need to collapse the rotors of the drone and chuck it in the back with the crates as you leave. Cost me enough, don't want to lose it on the first job!
You guys wanna grab some masks or something before you head in?

"I'll use my moter helmet," Jade said, "ther's a reason I took one with a reflecting face plate and a neutral colour.  I can't hide that I'm a troll, but I'm not the only troll in the city who owns a motercycle.  For the others I would indeed suggest some masks, just to be sure."

"I should get a mask though. I don't currently know any of the spells to disguise appearance." Joel interjected. He knew about the spells, he just never thought them necessary as a wagemage.

Perhaps he could look into them when this is all over. Along with everything else.

Alright, best go grab something then before we head over there. There anywhere nearby that sells that kind of thing?

You easily found a store in the neighborhood that sold all kinds of safety gear for constructions and heavy industry, masks and goggles included.
[spoiler=prices]If you want something simply to hide your faces, the price is included in your lifestyle. If you want something special, please detail it in OOC and I will put a price tag on it.[/spoiler]

The afternoon had dragged on, there was only so many times you could look at the trid feed and plot your angles before you got bored/hacked off/went mad with anticipation.
The shopping for the masks was a welcome break from the tedium and after being at the diner for so long, it was suggested that we settle the bill and move on somewhere different.
Grabbing a burger from the stuffr shack up the road for dinner, Matt checked his watch.
21:42

Getting near to go time guys, day shift must have finished by now. ready? or do we wait?

22:00
Judy stayed with you for about an hour, discussing some minor details, later just chatting with you. She was a cheerful girl, and showed an interesting mixture of positive thinking and realism. After a time though, she left, saying she’ll be able to do everything she needed to do from afar. As a parting present, she gave Matt a small box containing a single wire tap, just in case they needed it somewhere in the building, with the note that she’d like to get it back if it is not used.
Traffic during the day followed a pattern you all knew well. Factory workers filled the seats around you at around 17:00. Commuters got in for a quick bite but left well before 18:00, to get home. You felt a pang of… Was it nostalgia? Or longing? You saw what was your life until less than a month ago. These people around you, were mostly the blessedly ignorant.
You switched for another place when the waiter started to shot curious glances at you. You tried to spend the evening seeming to do something but there was really nothing to do but wait for the opportunity, wait for the time appointed by yourselves. By the time it was 22:00, traffic thinned considerably, the usual people went home, only a few hobos, the occasional truck driver, and the heavy alcoholics sat at the crappy places of the neighborhood.

"It will probably not get more quiet," Jade said as they assembled not far from the warehouse, "if nothing has changed, if there aren't scores of people inside, I would say let's get on with it."

Matt psyked himself up, giving himself a good mental-slap into action.
Heading to the car, he semi-prepped the roto-drone. All the guys would need to do would be to extend the blades and set it on solid ground once they got parked up.
Matt handed the device to Jade. Judy gave me this
He swapped out the taser for the pistol in his holster, popped on his helmet and jumped in.
//Right guys, I've opened us a new channel for comms, good luck in there, keep in touch. I'll pilot the drone to cover you. Just make sure she comes back in one bit eh? :-)
Judy, we need that door open and soon please.//

9D6R5 =>  [ 2; 5; 1; 5; 5; 4; 3; 3; 2 => 3 success(es) against 5 ] = 3 | ones: 1
ewar 3, encryption 6. 3 hits to encrypt communications.
Invisible castle is down again, rolled this on rolz.org.


Feeling the increased weight of a fully loaded vehicle ready for action and the anticipation tingling in his sense, it was all Matt could do to keep the speed down and observe the traffic regulations.
A block away, he engaged the morphing plate and spoof chip and swung the car through a reverse parking maneuver into the loading bay.
//Go! set the drone up!//

Joel breathed slowly, calming the feeling of nervousness. It was like he was a newly-hired wagemage again. He focused his magical abilities into a weak spell on himself, one to aid him in the event combat came up, utilising his focus in order to assist him in sustaining it. He winced slightly at a sharp spike of pain, but it faded quickly. Having done so, he put on the nondescript mask. No need to stand out at all.6

He figured Jade or Leroy would be better with setting up the drone than he could be, so he briefly switched on his Astral Perception, checking to see if the building had been magically protected since his last 'visit' there.

With IC still down, using Rolz.org

INCREASE REFLEXES
Magic (5) + Spellcasting (4) = 9 dice.
9D6E5 => [ 3; 3; 1; 2; 1; 2; 6; 1; 5; => 2 success(es) against 5 ] = 2 | ones: 3

Force 2 Increase Reflexes. 2 hits for +1 initiative, +1 IP. Sustained via Health Sustaining Focus.

EDIT: WHOOPS DRAIN
Drain DV: 3S
Drain Resist: Intuition (5) + Magic (5) (10d6.hits(5)=2) (and yes that should  be Willpower 5)
Drain MDV: 1S

ASSENSING
Assensing 4 + Intuition 5 + Perceptive 1 = 10 dice
10D6E5 => [ 2; 4; 4; 1; 1; 4; 2; 6; 3; 2; => 1 success(es) against 5 ] = 1 | ones: 2

I see how it is Rolz. Apparently I'm not going to be of any help this mission!
