Seijin answers the Johnson plainly. "Just water" he says, and waits for the others.

[HydroRaven]

"Well, I'm drinking a brew" says Dubs after hearing Seijin's answer, directing his comment at Rush.

"for me just something fizzy, non-alcoholic," Mariko said.  If they were going to do some serious planning, she didn't need any alcohol.  Maybe after the run was finished, but not before.
"Let's set up a network," she said next, "so we can share files and such without having to project them."

[HydroRaven]

"Good idea" answered Dubs at Mariko's plan to setup a network.

Once everyone got their drinks, the elf started talking. "Alright, this is what we think are the best ways to get into the building." He took a sip of his synthbeer and started looking at the plan that was on their private network. Pointing at the back entrance, he said "We can either go in as delivery guys, or as cleaning crew. There are advantages to both, really. The delivery guys, we get a pass for being new faces. The cleaning crew, we get to walk around the building without anyone being suspicious."

Dubs stopped for a moment to look if there was any bar food around, and then went back to looking at the layout of the building. "I can't really think of any other way to get into the building without tying you to this run, chief" continued Dubs while addressing Rush.

Taking you all in clearly Rush seems very happy at the professionalism of you all. Well I shall join you with water, a clear mind is a good thing after all.

I appreciate your candid assessment of the situation, I think i can help arrange the need for a delivery... but the cleaning crew go through too much scrutiny to sort something out overnight.

[farothel]

"Firgures," Mariko said, "but can delivery crews get far into the building?  Mostly they have to hand their packages in at the front desk and the internal service delivers them to the recipient.  Depending on the layout, it might be an option to stun the guards at the front desk, slip them a shot of Lael and make it look as if they have fallen asleep.  Let's have a look."
She checked the building plans on the network to see if she could find the set-up for the front desk.  She was sure there were cameras, but it might be possible if they were rotating or not pointed at the desk itself.

[cr4kp0t]

The delivery crews tend to be escorted to their the relevant recipients, by the security guards on duty at the time. so that should work I'd have thought?

[HydroRaven]

Dubs took a swing of his drink and said "I'm just thinking out loud here, but we could bring in a large box, stash the decker and someone else in it and have it delivered to the server room. While we get there, Mariko can work on trying to disable the cameras that have an angle on the room without being seen and once that's done we neutralize the guards and do our business." The elf rested his bottle down on the table, looking around at the other runners to see if his idea made any sense to them.

[farothel]

"Nice plan, except for one little thing," Mariko said, "my knowledge about cameras is limited to 'pull the plug and it stops working' or 'spray the front and it's still working but is not seeing much', both of which are fairly obvious to anybody who's looking at the cameras.  Where's the security center, maybe we can hit that first, take out the people there and then we can do what we want with the cameras."

[martinchaen]

Seijin regarded Dubs as he spoke. "That could work, certainly. Would also give us excuse to smuggle in larger pieces of equipment and our employer." He bowed his head deeply to the corporate suit sitting at the table. "No offense intended Mr Tanaka, but your presence might jeopardize things if anyone were to recognize you dressed in a delivery uniform."

He then turned to address Mariko. "Seconded; my skills with electronics are about the same. I could potentially take out the security center, but I would prefer that a physically assault be a last resort, only to be used if no other option presents itself."

[Isane]

"The cameras shouldn't be a problem for me.  If the layout you gave us is correct, I can take care of any cameras in our way given enough time."  Yuri sips at her glass, a ridiculous and fruity colored drink.  "I'm n-not very fond of being stuck in a crate for all this though..."

"Why not let security take us to where we need to go, knock them out and stash them, and I'll fudge an all clear to the rest.  Should gives us enough time to deal with the server room, and then work our way out."

[HydroRaven]

"You're Mariko?!?" asked Dubs, pointing at Tantei. "I thought SHE was Mariko" laughed the elf, pointing at Yuri.

"In any case, if you are in the box it gives you the chance to hack away without the guards being suspicious. Just a thought though" continued Dubs, raising his shoulders half-dismissively.

[Isane]

Yuri bites her lip in thought.  "Yeah, m-maybe.  I'd do it if you guys swear to handle shit on your end.  Do we know what kind of inspection they give to arriving packages?  If it's enough to notice someone inside, c-could try claiming it's highly sensitive computer equipment and scanning it might ruin it or something..."

[farothel]

"not a good idea," Mariko said, "because then they will want the box opened.  At least that's what I would do in a situation like that.  Besides, is it needed to have someone in a box.  We can all walk in carrying boxes and you can do the cameras while someone else is putting the paperwork in order with the recipient."
She wondered why it was still called paperwork, even though there was no paper to be seen in these cases.  Conservatism probably.

[HydroRaven]

Dubs thinks for a moment. "It would have to be a huge order if we're to justify 4 deliverymen" said the elf. Quickly realising what he said, he corrected himself. "or women..."

He turned his head to Rush and asked him "What kind of order would require such a massive amount of boxes?"
