The medical file is about what one would expect for a multiple gunshot victim in a coma.  He managed to scrape through without head trauma, so it's mostly damage to the torso and limbs.  The prognosis appears favorable, Kingston should ultimately pull through.  Which is good and bad.  He'll be alive, but only as long as Knight Errant needs him to be, probably.  At best, he'll be hauled off to a Supermax for sure.

Redline listened to Ravener's call to the team. "Hai, I think tomorrow at 21:00 sounds solid. Shortly before we're green, I'll move the ambulance into position, near the..." she paused for a moment, hands manipulating the map of the neighborhood, "southeast of the facility, same side of the road. Looks like there's a small parking lot. Any idea if that's public access?"

She reviewed the area further. The circular, open park to the compound's south didn't offer many firing positions, but if anyone moved through it she'd see them coming long enough in advance.

"I'll either set up on the building across the street to the southwest, or the smaller one directly east of the hospital. Hopefully nobody's checking roofs as standard procedure."

Redline will make a 10-15 minute cruise through around the blocks surrounding the hospital the night before their job. She'll look to assess the general feel of this part of Bellevue; how oppressive are Knight Errant patrols at the time of the planned run? Is there heavy foot traffic,  lots of patients moving in and out of the hospital?

Lastly, she'd give her favorite street doc, Dr. Gravesong a buzz and ask him if he had any special insight into the place.

Following that, she'd head home and work on readying her gear for tomorrow's run.

[Shaihulude]

Jujin makes sure he has all his gear checked. "That time is fine." When it's time, he'll the a cab a couple of blocks away from the meet point, and walk the rest of the way to hook up with the team.

[VegasRigged]

21:00 sound fine. In the mean time everyone keep a low profile, espicially those of us going in. I shouldn't have to say this, but nobody talks about this to anyone. Don't tell your friends you have some work, don't insinuate your about to have money, don't imply that your up to a single god damn thing. Now I'm headed for a drink and then home, anyone need a place to crash?

Most of this team seemed to know not to talk, but if nobody said it then it went unsaid, and one could never be too prepared for the stupidity of amateurs.

He switched his commlink over from the group, so all their chatter would appear as text in a saidebar and called a friend from the old days, Dana Oaks

Dana, how are you? Have a minute for an old boyfriend?

[Jayde Moon]

@ Redline

The return message from Dr. Graveling is short and to the point.  Health Point is a learning Hospital and not one that he's had a lot to do with.

As far as the activity in the region, it isn't particularly notable.  It's a low-middle class neighborhood with plenty of low rent chains in the shopping center south of the Hospital.  Roof access there would be easy but won't get you very high.  There is a school to the East across the main parking lot as well as a performing arts center.  The Center is about the same height as the Hospital, the two share the trait of being the tallest buildings at approximately 3 stories.

West of the Hospital are some buildings of no import, more shops, maybe a few homes and north are a few fields and apartment buildings.

If there is a heightened KE presence on the hospital grounds, it has something to do with its use as an official hospital for recovering suspects apprehended by KE and there are a handful of KE patrol cars in the parking lot at any given time.


@ Raiden

"Well, well, well," the Assistant DA's face appears.  "To what do I owe the honor of this call?"

[VegasRigged]

Raiden grins and takes up her playful tone I just thought I'd grace your drab existence with a little conversation. Do you have any plans for the evening? Maybe the kind that include drinks some place nice with yours truly?

He sent a map point ahead to the rigger, silently requesting he be dropped half way between Dana's office and house, which fortunately weren't too far from each other. Plus it's a nice enough area that having this team think he lives there should lend him credibility going forward.

[Jayde Moon]

@ Raiden

"Unfortunately, I am rather busy.  If there is something you need, let me know."

[WillAsher]

Ravener feels the car pull into the garage and power down.  Getting out he plugs in the car and pulls out his gear bag.  After turning on the sound system, he puts the bag on the living room table and grabs a beer.  After reviewing the Kingston file, he turns to the resident list to find someone of similar size and build.  "Worst case I might need to back up the infiltration team.  Hmm, that looks about as close as can be." he muses before making an ARO with the doctor's information for later use.  Laying out his gear he sorts through what he might need and makes some final checks on it.  By 3am he knows he is as ready as he is going to get.  He fires up his DJPro VR software and spends the next 9 hours trying to capture the feel of anticipation thrumming through his veins.  By noon he is hungry and finally ready to sleep.  Laying down he sets his alarm for 4pm and lets his regulator slip into sleep mode.


The wind slips through his feathers as he soars towards the horizon.  Faint lights dance in the sky above him before blooming into brief petals of raining fire and death.  In the shadows below he hears the tip of gunfire and echoing cries of a child.  Before him the horizon glows with the promise of dawn.  Ravener wakes gasping.  A glance at the clock shows it is only 3:15, but sleep is the last thing he wants now.  "Great," he sighs looking at the large raven drawn on his bedroom ceiling. 

After breakfast he meditates for an hour to try and grasp his connection to Raven and gain his balance.  Having achieved at least some of the later, he cleans up and starts final prep for the run.  He checks the newsfeeds for any activity near the target, before loading up the gear he needs for the run and checking his mail for anything relevant or interesting.  Getting to the area early, Ravener stops by at the Naan-N-Curry for some Soy Biryani and a quick look around for any extraordinary KE presence.  Noting nothing particularly concerning he drives to the meet.

[Sunday, 207505122100L]

It's a cool spring night in Renton.  Few clouds in the sky, but the light pollution blots out any but the brightest stars.  The crescent moon favors you as you all gather at Soybucks in the Renton shopping center, a couple of blocks south from Health Point.  Redline reports that she's placed the Ambulance where it's needed, in the southeast portion of the parking lot.  Both of the oni sit quietly, distance between them subtle, but their tension notable.  The pixie mindlessly slurps a soykachino, savoring the sugary drink.  Whiskey sits quietly, with the demeanor of someone expecting orders and ready to follow them.

It's time to go over the plan one last time and then pray to the Shadows that everything goes right.

[VegasRigged]

Raiden is early, on his third cup of coffee when the team arrives.

 He looks his part to a T, though he's not wearing the scrubs his disheveled upper-class demeanor is almost palpable. He's running on his third hit of Cram since he left the team last night, having pulled the all-nighter to study medicine and medical procedure while also not sleeping to present the most honest version of a well-trained and overworked EMT. He has a professional certainty about is, even though he's clearly haggered. He's also secured an off-brand bulletproof vest which he's taken the liberty of shooting a couple times to sell the fast that he's been on the job and hasn't had time to change it. Add the beard growth and coffee stains, the fresh haircut already going rogue and Radien his character is, as much as he can make it, complete.

He greets the others with a nod, his body language totally different then the day before. Casual swagger replaced by the professional confidence of a man who knows his trade completely. A man who saves lives.

Any reservations before we begin?

[Jayde Moon]

Whiskey pipes up, an unusual occurrence for the reserved dwarf.

"Can we go over, step by step, what the plan is, here, one last time?"

[Jayde Moon]

The group looks at one another, waiting for someone to speak.

[WillAsher]

Ravener looks to Raiden as Whisky speaks up.  "You want to go over the plan for everyone?  I figured I will post up with Redline to provide some extra covering fire if things go badly.  " 

Waiting for the review Ravener glances through everyone's wireless signals looking for particularly weak links.  He then links Cherie's comlink to his deck to protect it.

[VegasRigged]

Raiden takes another swig of his coffee, his hands surprising steady considering his otherwise jittery appearance.

The idea is this: As per my new look I'm an EMT who's just seen some action near the end of a very long shift. Whiskey and I are returning from grabbing this corpse of an Oni, which I intend to sell, though the thought of selling cyberware (he looks pointedly at Redline) might be a slightly easier sell. Anyway, if theirs a guy manning the front desk I play him or pay him to let us through to the Morgue and replace the ID badge I lost in the fighting, since our ID's are already in the system it shouldn't be a big deal. Just another day trying to survive in the bullshit bureaucracy.

Once we have badges we have movement around the facility. We figure out where our guy is and our 'corpse' starts making a mess out of security,distracting the guys on his room so Whiskey and I can sneak in, I'll give them a push if needed. We grab our man and get clear in the chaos.

Plan B is everyone hit the place while I fast-talk someone important for the guys room and we take him out under fire. Not ideal, but if you hear me mention 'That one time in Chicago' then hit the place for maximum chaos. Questions?

[Jayde Moon]

With that, everybody moves to their places.  Ravener sets himself up for Matrix overwatch, Whiskey, Jujin, and Raiden prepare for their ruse.  Cherie casts invisibility and posts herself atop the Ambulance and Redline takes her chosen position as well.

The team pauses, an intake of breath...

And then it's go time.
