Mother steps through the Ward to the other side.  As she does so, she can feel the tugging and a surge of energy.  Quickly realizing that the Ward was about to overcome her even as she was only halfway through, she dropped on of the spells she was sustaining, and immediately felt the pressure ease.  It wasn't enough and she cursed as she dropped the second spell, hoping that was all she needed.

It worked, and she passed through to the other side along with the Guardian Spirit that was channeled through her.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Mother Shakes slightly.

Tanya nods to Kumiho as she follows Mother through the ward.  She puts a hand on her companion's arm.  "Are you good to keep going?"  Tanya takes a cautious step past Mother then looks to her other companion.  "Are we clear, Kumiho?" 

If she gets the go sign, Tanya continues down the stairs, looking for anything out of the ordinary.  The progress is , but sure.  In this type of work, speed can be a killer.

If mother is good, then we continue., Kumiho replies. Once that is settled he continues with the others to proceed down the passage -  hoping that they find something that will shed light on Lyle's death.

Tanya nods and continues to move forward.

Moving downstairs, the group finds what can only be described as an 'indoor shooting range'.  Large windows on the left reveal a sort of... control room?  A place where someone can observe the action in the main area.  At the far end, a small access door leads to whatever area is behind the targets.

In the observation/control room are several workstations and along the wall nearest the stairwell are several lockers.

Tanya enters the observation room and nods to the work stations as she goes to the lockers.  "Kumiho, those workstations might be hooked up.  Can you check them out while I see if there is anything interesting in the lockers?  Mother, anything to be concerned about yet?"  Tanya is looking to see if there are any access cards or keys that she can copy or otherwise make use of.  Even names or photos might be helpful.

Mother chants to herself "Eleggua conceal me from harm...Ogun give me fleetness of foot...No. Not fast enough. Ogun make me fly like the wind...No. Not fast enough. Ogun make me faster than a motherfuckin jet...no...nevermind as slow as a vole it is. I am humbled by your mercies...." said Mother shaking her head. She looked around the basement.

Checking the lockers, they don't appear to be for individuals, but rather types of equipment.  There are slats in them and it's easy to see that they contain a variety of armaments and other gear for... 'ops'.

Kumiho moves to the 'control room' and sees that the workstations are powered on and working and that they have no matrix connectivity, at least here.  They all have data lines that come together in a single, larger cable and eventually disappears into a wall.  This would explain why no one was able to remotely access the devices.  Though curious as to why  such a company would go to such great lengths to keep their systems this secure.

Tanya gives a soft whistle as she looks through the meshed doors of the lockers.  Kneeling in front of each, she determines that they are locked with some pretty complicated biometric locks.  She takes a number of pics of the lockers, the locks, and as much of their contents as she can see before shaking her head and standing up, and sends a sub-vocal to the team.  "These guys are not fooling around with the hardware.  I am not the real expert on weapons so I have taken some pics for Requiem.  The lockers have some pretty sophisticated locks and I see no reason right now to temp fate by trying to get in them.  I can get into the lockers if I had to, but it would be brute force and they would certainly know we were here.  By the looks of things, it appears like they could easily outfit a reinforced RST, if not two.  Any luck at your end, Kumiho?  Mother, we still good?"

While waiting for Kumiho to do his magic, Tanya closely inspects the locks to see if she can determine the type of biometrics involved.  Fingerprints, voice recognition, and retinal scans are common but she is aware that some high-tech security outfits are always coming up with new ways to keep people like her from accessing what they should not.  Locks have always interested her and these people seem very interested in their security.  She takes many close-up pics of the locks to take home and examine.  These seem to be at the very top of the state-of-the-art list.  "Frag.  I have never seen locks this complex.  These people do not want anyone to mess with their weapons.  I need some time to look at my pics and work out what I can before I can try to get past these undetected.  Locks this good probably have sever anti-tampering stuff as well.  Frag."  Suspecting that the weapons and other equipment in the lockers are at least top military grade, she angles the mini camera to try to get good pics of the equipment for Requiem to look through.

Mother looks around

"Mages have been casting spells here sguar. Many of them. I would say they're trainin too."

Mother looks down at the desk.

"Ooh. Lookee here. Now isn't that pretty." said Mother admiring an object on the desk.

Tanya sends off the pictures to Requiem, but leaves them on her camera in case they do not get through to him from down here.  She looks over at the object Mother is looking at.  "Careful, Mother.  Anything down here might be rigged to allow these people to track whoever takes it.  It is what I would do and these guys seem very paranoid and careful.  Probably goes with the turf if they are a skilled HRT outfit."

Looking over at Kumiho, she adds, "Don't forget to erase any images of us from the internal cameras, just in case.  Any luck with the pay data?"

"So at least we seem to feel that these people are outfitted as a HRT; sling mojo crazy good; and have extremely top=notch security systems.  Now all we need to do is find out what they are up to."

Kumiho, after inspecting the workstations, begins to inspect the Cable that runs from the workstations to the wall. he seems to be concentrating on the task at hand and is unaware of what the others are doing.

Requiem analysed the images with professional detachment

Mother stops reaching for an office plack.

"Yes. Better not to touch it honey. It's the ward link. There's no other magic here now. I think it's the your turn." Said Mother turning to look at Kumiho.
