Tanya recognizes the detachment of a professional at work and stays silent, letting Kumiho work his own style of trix mojo.

@ Kumiho

Looking over the equipment, it looks like the most vulnerable spot would be through the wiring.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Kumiho begins to quietly mutter to himself as he looks over the long banded together line of cables; trying to discern which cord is the Ethernet cable. He doesn't want to tap into the wrong line and fry his deck.

Who the hell would go out of there way to hard wire everything and then leave the whole thing exposed like this on the floor. Well, this better work or he might flip his shit and trow one of those really nice cushy chairs they have at these workstations.
Kumiho shakes his head. No that is not very professional - everyone would think him some kind of fool if he just got, screamed, and then throw a chair across the room......

Now is it this grey cord, the red one, or the green one...... Kumiho pulls out of his coat pocket a handy little tool kit and removes the small data tap. He thinks to himself, Lye always liked green, right - as he bends forward to make the needed connection.

The Data Tap connects and after a moment, Kumiho releases a breath he did not realize he was holding.

Kumiho situates himself  on the floor, leaning against one of the workstations, trying to keep himself out of sight of the of the main entrance so he doesn't present himself an easy target while having his outer body experience.

Ok, Everyone. I have a connection. I'll be going in Cold Sim - watch my back while I'm gone. Pighting! And with a mental click he leaves his meat suit behind for the techno-colored skies of the systems Host. His form appearing out side the host as a medium height humanoid creature with the head of a fox with 8 floating tails in a long white Asian styled scholars coat accessed in glowing blue, purple, and green stitching. In his hand his wields a large/tall Bamboo Brush wet with Ink.

Ok, Lets see what Secrets you guard, he says to the Host before as he paints along its surface a door that will allow him entry.

Kumiho Steps through the host into a active city street under a dark sky. Around him are various programs and know bots traveling, carrying out whatever function they serve. He also picks out a few icons in the crowd that appear to be Knight Errant like officers walking their beat - the host's security functions on the look out for illegal activity. Wanting to appear as aprt of the host as much as possible, with a few brush strokes from his large ink brush Kumiho changes his appears to match appearance of any of the other city dwellers.

I'm in, looking for the data store now

Kumiho prowls the cityscape searching for where Return Safe stores all their information. This takes him what feeling like in the host 15 minutes to find a Cities general Municipal building. Here he finds rows upon row of filing cabinets full of folders and papers. Here he Creates, with a sweep of his large ink brush, a little inky librarian and tells the short fellow to set the organization of the files before him by date and time. The little librarian walks over to a unassuming level placed in the wall, rubs his inky hands together, and then pulls the level. The cabinets before Kumiho rise up like a large wave -  many of the cabinets changing place in mid air before slamming back to the ground -  as if nothing had happened. Kumiho thanks the little librarian and then begins to insect the files. The first section seems to be mostly life feed of the security camera feeds -  which continue to update as he looks them over. But as he works his way through the files, he begins to find other data. He spends some time looking over all of this, but the most important data he finds is an Appointment book with Names and dates. which he pulls out a Note pad and copies down. The other important bit of data is Tanya's meeting with Steelbit. Kumiho is not surprised that they already have a nice dos up on Tanya -  which includes her home address and number. He spends a few moments to make changes to this. He changes Tanya Marisart to Maria A Saintly and her address to Seattle Hilton, Penthouse 4768B. He also put in a new commlink number.
Tiring of shifting through basic data, Kumiho turns back to his little inky Librarian friends and asks him for any and all for Lyle Green. it took what felt like an hour in the host but was more like 15 minutes for the little librarian to lead Kumiho to the files that had any info about Lyle. Every so often they would have to duck and  hide from passing IC that were searching the archives for any unauthorized intrusions.After all that time though, all that was to be found was in the trash. A single Appointment that was listed as having been for a few days before Lyle's death. It contained only the date, time and a single note: Result - Declined. He frowned over this. Its not what he or the others were hoping for. Kumiho turned to his little helper and asked for any security footage from that data and time. Once this was brought o him by the little librarian, he saved it over for latter viewing. The file however, was so large that he needed to take out his Ink brush and create a long scroll to record it all since the file was too large to store completely on his deck alone.

Now that was done He needed to find the paydata. What were Return Safe LLC really up to? What was their goal? Kumiho wishes he could say that this did not take a while to find.
Ok, so this is going to take a while. May 6ish hours.

Tanya factors in how long they have been here already and sends a note.  >>Team.  When did the man return last time?  Do we have the time that we need for this?<<

"From what little I know, he is jacked in and secured to the cable.  Moving him will mean unhooking him and probably losing the connection.  I would not try it unless it becomes necessary." 

Tanya leaves Kumiho to do his thing, but looks around the control room to see if she can find anything unusual enough to stand out.

"Well then I guess we wait. Mother looks around thinking about setting up defensive positions. Have any good stories of working the shadows Tanya sugar?" Said Mother looking for furniture to put in the hall.

Tanya shakes her head.  "There may be ears about and I do not need any publicity.  Besides, I try to not kiss and tell as it can be bad for business.  There are things I can tell you once we finish here and if you want to spend time over some good Earl Grey and biscuits.  Or coffee."

Tanya walks around the room, looking for air vents or access panels.  She wants to be prepared for an emergency exit if the need arises.

Kumiho finds himself in front of an executive complex, where his browse program, the little inky Librarian, has led him. The trail lead him on a tour through the host and with some luck and skill he was able to remain undetected by the host's internal security measures. Inside he makes his way to a large executive office near the top of the building. The office itself is done all in warm tone of deep red oak with lush honey colored carpeting and dim lighting around the outer edges -  a single light shining down upon the main desk. Kumiho little Librarian leads him past the desk to the main wall where a priceless piece of Futurism Art by Ivo Pannaggi - the little icon plaque called the piece "Speeding Train". Behind which, like every Trid-movie ever, there was a safe.
Kumiho  scrutinized the wall safe for any minute detail, checking for any traps left for the unwary. After a few minutes of looking he found on the underside of the safe a trip switch that activated when the safe was opened or moved. Using his Large Scholar's Ink brush, Kumiho wiped the little librarian away and drew/conjured up little fox wearing a little tool vest with 완화 on its back. With his the foxes help, Kumiho was just barely able to safely remove the trap from the safe. Once this was done, Kumiho soaked up the little fox with his ink brush and then turned back to the safe. He then made an exact copy of the safe with a few easy strokes of his brush. While the ink was still wet on his duplicated safe, Kumiho pulled out a scroll and sucked the ink safe onto it. He would look over the paydata later. With their goal met, Kumiho  headed back to the Municipal building to remove their presence from the security feed.

Nothing had changed since the last he was at the virtual Municipal building. Kumiho easily found his way back to where the nights camera feeds were recorded. With his ink brush he slowly painted out the team from each frame of the security feed. When he got to the most recent footage, Kumiho  went in search of the Slave that managed the security cameras. What he found was a room full of cubicles, each with a little business man with a camera for a face, had at work typing away at their workstations. At the head of the room was the slave. Another Business man who had wire instead of legs which snaked out beneath him and out towards the cubicles. Kumiho noted that each of the businessmen wore a little button on their lapel that marked them as loyal to return Safe. He needed to trick the slave into following his orders and as such, using his brush again, he painted into existence a little button much like theirs. when he approached the slave, the businessman looked him over and excepted him as belonging. Looking over the Slave a bit Kumiho convinced the businessman that he was in charge and then handed the slave an executive order which instructed the slave to reformat. The Slave paused in it monitoring of this team for a moment and read over the executive order, scrutinizing it for any fault. Time seemed to slow down as Kumiho waited for the Slaves response. The slave stopped reading the order and then walked over to the side where it shredded the executive order. This brought on an alarm and Kumiho could hear security personal moving towards his location. He did not have much time. As IC came into the the area Kumiho painted a cloak about himself that had the word 껍질 written on it. While doing this he handed the Slave another executive order to reformat. As the first security guard entered the room and began to fire at Kumiho with their virtual guns, the slave clapped it hand together. As bullets whizzed by, each camera businessman stood straight up behind their workstation, made a little sound, and then sat down with their camera face on the desk top - like they were going to sleep.
However, Kumiho was being attack. He was already hit by the first guard's attack and he little time left and one more task to complete before he could jackout. As a seconds guard, this one with a shot gun, entered the room Kumiho handed anther executive order to the slave - this one to Reboot after the reformat was finished. The slave excepted this without any of the previous fuss. However, the guards where firing at Kumiho. He was able to jump out of the way of the first shot, it going wide, but the second guard got him in the gut. His Deck was bricked!! With the filters down between his meat suit and the virtual world falling way Kumiho took the full affects of the virtual damage. In the physical world his body jerked and spasmed on the floor, a little blood coming out of his nose and mouth.
As Kumiho lost consciousness he was barely able to reach out to his team and send one last communication.

The cameras are down......................................................

"Oh dear." said Mother grabbing Kumiho and throwing him over her shoulder.

"I do believe that is our cue dear." said Mother to Tanya.

Kachina and her spirit roamed the astral space nearby the office. The watchers were acting as planned, every times she would peek in. On the outside, no astral form seemed to be coming any close to the spot. Which was good, no HRT on the way.

After a while, she grew worried of her team. She reverted back into her body. She opened her eye, Requiem still next to her.
She started panicking when he mentioned the 6h Kumiho said he needed.

That's no good... let's be extra vigilant on who's coming nearby. We may have to delay them long enough for the rest of the team to get out 

More minutes passes, and they received Kumiho's last message. Kachina's heart started to pump faster. Team, what's going on? she said over the com.
