As soon as she was back at home, she went to her shrine and put herself on a tatami mat.  There she left her body and moved to the building they would have to invade the next night.  At first she looked at the building, checking for patrolling spirits and wards and checking if Mr. J's information was correct.  If needed, she would go closer, but if she could see everything from her high vantage point, she would.

The day goes smoothly with the usual suspects helping pitch in the small supplies you need to get the job done.

@ Isane
The mechanic is very professional and appreciates your concerns over your 'baby' it';s returned in pristine condition.

@ Farothel
The basic view of the building confirms most of the the astral security aspect advised within the plans Rush has provided you

You see the auras of the security patrol's on their rounds being supported by watcher spirits, you catch a good view of the mage as he walks on duty and he pays your projection no attention in particular, a review of his aura shows you that he is a low level age with a magic of three. and he is distracted by insomnia. Probably something to do with the combinations of anger and happiness towards his newborn son.

The rest of the building is not very secure astral and there are no wards or astral barrier except around the secure areas, although that is only a ward on the entrance and bio-wire construction techniques.

Mariko sent a message to the team to say that the astral security was what Mr. J had said it was, before going to sleep.  It would be a very long day the next one, and she wanted to be rested.

After getting her truck ready, Yuri gets the next part of their delivery disguise ready by having her gang help her acquire some appropriately sized boxes and fake shipping labels.  Uniforms would take a bit more work, so she'd wait until tomorrow so the rest of the team could help.  For now, it was time to actually get a reasonable amount of sleep for once.  Which meant only wasting a single hour reading or browsing the matrix.

The day passes smoothly and when you arrive at the pub before the run Rush is there waiting for you.

Hoi Chummers,

Tonight is gonna be fun!

[farothel]

Mariko looked at him.  If he thought it was going to be fun, they might be in trouble.  These things were not supposed to be fun, they were a job and the less 'fun' there was, the better.
"You do know the Chinese curse, sir," she said, staying polite, "May you have interesting times.  I hope that tonight it will not be too interesting.  Just get in, get the job done and get out without any fuss.  And speaking of fuss, while we are waiting for the others, I'll quickly do a final astral recon."

She quickly found a place where she could sit without being obviously absent.  Then she went back to the location they would go to and, staying a bit at a distance (no sense in warning them that she had been there twice now) she checked to see if things were still the same as they were the day before.  Late minute changes in the set-up could mean exactly that, a set-up.

@ Farothel

Your astral recon of the building shows the opposite of your fears.

In fact it would seem that Rush's inside man has done a good job of diverting security as there are fewer watchers on patrol and the ward on the secure level is no longer there.

[farothel]

Mariko went back to her body in the pub.
"I've had a quick check and it seems your buddy is good to his word, sir," she said to Rush and the others, "there's less magical security then when I checked yesterday."

[HydroRaven]

Dubs arrived just a few minutes before meeting time and spotted the team. He got himself a synth beer before talking business. "Good!" answered the elf to Mariko's statement. "I went and got down a few escape routes myself last night, just in case." He then took a mouthful of his drink before saying to everyone present "This job almost seems too good to be true, like everything is falling right onto our laps!"

[farothel]

"I'll put up a couple of spells before we go in," Mariko said, "I should be able to feel it when a full SWAT team is sitting in the next room."

[Isane]

"I've got the delivery disguise all set up.  Let's go over the plan one last time, and figure out i-if there's anything we need to still do."  Yuri looks over the others, feeling more jittery than usual. 

[cr4kp0t]

Rush takes the lead and spells out the plan as he sees it with you all.

Good to hear the peripherals are all sorted.

The plan was rather simple the way i saw it:

I go ahead with my new buddy Seijin... Assuming he ever turns up?
Has any one seen him today?
We inform reception of the delivery so that your expected when you turn up.

I meet you at the loading docs and we go up to floor 42 with all the gear in packing crates...

On 42 we need to break into the secure wing and the server room,
Yuri here hacks her way in and erases the raw data that implicates the failings in the project.

Meanwhile Dubs and Mariko here will make sure we're all clear and covered ready to escape, by well either
a. distracting
b. neutralizing (not killing)
c. evading

the security patrols

as to Exits we have the van if we don't get spotted...
and if we do....
well there is running or Yuri's choice of the roof...

[farothel]

"I have one more question," Mariko said to Rush, "are there magically active people in your department?  I mean, I would like to go in with a couple of spells active, but will that make me a big target for every magically active being in the compound?"

[Isane]

"Y-Yeah I'm not so sure we can all fit on my Dalmatian.  I only rode it once and that was on a dare.  If the drek hits the fan, I'll have my truck drive itself to a secure location, the Dalmatian w-will provide a distraction, and Dubs can get his hot rod and get us outta there."

Yuri begins twiddling a finger through her hair.  "So our entrance and exit are covered.  I-I haven't heard from Seijin yet, we might have to rework the uh, in between part..."

[HydroRaven]

Dubs laughed out loud. "I can get my hotrod alright, but it won't fit everything, that's for sure" said the elf. "And if the boy scout doesn't show up, then I guess it means we proceed without him. I just hope he won't change his mind and sell us down the road on account of his "principles", or some other thing..."
