I think that non-lethal ist nicht zo gut an idea. Gespenst's broken English issues from the dark corner of the apartment for the first time all evening. If diesen Triads are out of comission, then Ich...I will nicht totmachen ihnen...them. Let us hope they stay asleep, eh? He eyes then become distant as he enters AR and starts calling up schematics for dock 314 from the county records office.

"Alright then your call. I'll take back up in case it gets hairy. I'll stay out of your way and let you do your work. Div you had an idea how to pull this off. Why don't you take lead on this. Unless anyone else wants to of coarse." Angus looks for any one to step forward. "Just mention if you do." He waits for another moment, then continues. "I'm fine with it being non lethal but if any one of them starts getting away or one of them has to be put down we do them all. I can do it myself if it needs doing. You don't want that on your hands. I understand, but Once blood is shed its not going to be any better for us whether its one or all of theirs that die." He pauses once more to let it sink in. "You and me being safe, that's what I care about, and I'm not putting a triads life above that." After finishing Angus places Lilith back in the cello case and close the lid. Realizing he may have made the mood a little intense he smiles "So, it looks like dock 314 is the pony were betting on. Any chance, you think, there'll be pirates." He seems a little embarrassed he said it.

"I think we'll need to have a look at the place before we try coming up with any sort of plan." she offered. "That said, if it looks like combat is our only option, and let's be honest, that's fairly likely, I volunteer to kick things off. I might be able to  take a couple out before they realize anything is going on, get them shooting in the wrong direction, stuff like that."

Angus lift ups his jacket shakes it out a bit and puts it on, grabs his case and helmet and says "Aye, it'll be better to sort this out when we get there." Taping his comlink "We can also discuss plans over our comlinks on the way their." He then opens his front door and ushers the others out. "Time be ticking. Lets hurry so we can take it slow when we get there" He leads them back through the maze of buildings to the intersection they met at. Offering a hand to Calico, "shall we miss" If she excepts they ride off to dock 314, if not he'll go alone. Realizing a potential snag that might come up Angus contacts the others "Any one got a bigger form of transport, or we hoping to steal one? For that matter can anyone drive?"

Taking Angus' hand, Calico smiles and hops onto his bike behind him, gripping him tightly. She'd enjoyed the ride over, the wind whipping her hair crazily as they rode. And while she knew there were no guarantees that he'd be willing to go to any great lengths to protect her, it still made her feel safer riding with this mountain of a man. Why not make him a little more able to protect you, just in case? she thinks with an inward grin, and channels the magical energy required to give him a little jolt of magical amphetamines. Or maybe a big jolt, she hopes with another grin.

Angus' call comes in and he poses the question she'd been trying not to think about. Transporting the goods. She'd asked the Johnson that same question and he'd pointedly ignored her. Was this some kind of test of their resourcefulness? No point worrying about it til you know what there is to worry about, she tells herself, and resolves to savor the ride, worry-free.

Straddling the scorpion he burns out and heads right on his way.

"Good to know. The only problem then is the fact that the truck has to be there. We probably be dealing with two crews of people then, one protecting the shipment out at sea and one picking it up. If we're lucky they'll be unloading a freight container. Just one crew then. To little information at this point but our time line is short. We will just have to be careful, and hope their not already there." As a reflexive action he looks over his shoulder for a  moment even though his words would be lost to the wind if not for the comlink. "I don't like the idea of decoys. I've lost to many friends that way. But I'm sure you have some tricks about you volunteering like that. I'll try to keep them from hemming you in. Hopefully it wont come to that though.."

Traffic thicken s considerably on the way to Dock 314, looks like lots of semi-trucks are moving heavy freight through this part of town. You are therefore not surprised when, approaching the 314 Dock, you notice many elements of an industrial yard, including a gate for semi-trucks.

The main buildings are four warehouses, each backed up to the waterfront. 314 is on the far right, with 310 on the left. A parking lot fronts all four building, protected from the street by a high storm fence, topped, you all suspect, with razor wire. The parking lot is only lit in front of 314, where three fast looking cars sit idle. All are yellow.

Angus sighs audibly driving past the gate " Looks like they heard me, and made sure to get here early... On the plus side, I'm pretty confident we're at the right place." He finds a dark safe place to stash the bike. He uses the image magnification in his helmet to check the cars for personnel and scans the fence for other points of entree. "Do we want to steal their cars or barrow a truck, probably got trackers on the cars is my thinking, Not that the truck wont have trackers but at least it wont be theirs."

@Calico "Think you can get in there?"

He opens up his case and slings Lilith over his shoulder. Lilith whisperers over the com "Memento Mori" Arranging the gear onto his person he somberly replies "Mors Certa, Vita Incerta, I always remember." Finishing unpacking; he closes the case. stands up,  attaches the bayonet to Lilith, and returns to surveillance.

"I can get in there, give the place a good scouting." Calico says, nodding as she surveys the target area. "Should be fairly risk free too, unless they have magical ... defenses ..." she trails off as she switches to astral, scanning the area for spirits, wards, magically active/dual natured beings, or any other notable astral phenomenon.

As he noticed the crew getting ready to exit the apartment, Gespenst grabed his backpack and followed hem out it the damp night. At the end of the labyrinth that constituted Angus's front yard he sent a mental command and disabled the security measures on his 4x4.  Konnen Ich ...offer a ride to anyone? As those who decieded to take him up on the offer piled in. He started the truck with a thought and checked the directions against the map of Seattle. That done, he shut down and disabled the GPS. Kein evidence ist am besten. Manual engaged, Gespesnt eased the car into traffic, making sure to obey all traffic laws. I don't want a repeat of Bonn. He thought to himself as he pulled a cigar from the center console and put it into his front pocket, a ritual that was decades old by this point.  He checked the rear-view monitor for tails and ran through the programs available on Gretchen while he made his way to the docks. Time to prepare his deck for battle.

Divillian follows the group to the docks from a slight distance, watching for anyone tailing the group. "We should wait for them to load the shipment onto it's transport and send it to a destination of our choice. Gespent can fool the pilot software and if he rolls the windows down I can convince the drivers that that is indeed the right address. We hit the guards for the truck as hard we need to, just leave no shells behind."

On the way to the docks, Divillian picks up a bottle of spray cleanser from the neighborhood stuffer shack and throws it into his bag.

"If possible, I'd like to avoid fatal shots. Stealing goods is one thing, that'll attract some minor heat from the Lotus, but not enough for them to send hit squads after us. Eliminating a group of their boys is another story, they may get.. offended by such a manuever and would be ruthless in their pursuit of us. The fewer the bodies, the more leverage we'll have if we have to come face to face with the rest of their gang."

"If we hit the docks themselves, we're going to have to deal with a much larger security team, most likely bound spirits and potent mages, and whatever other defenses they have prepared for such a raid. If we wait for the trucks to leave and hit them with the right combination of stealth, force, magic and charisma, we'll walk away with the treasure and a lot fewer bullet-holes."

Divillian marks an alley way with an ARO a few blocks away from the docks where everyone can hide their bikes and some scouting can be done. As everyone pulls in, he takes a moment to explain. "During my time working against magical threats, I've picked up a few tricks. I can be very convincing when I need to, as long as I can see the person needing convincing. This doesn't mean we won't need your weapons, the trucks are going to have some protection which will need to be neutralized when we ambush them at the destination we choose, if we decide to go this route."

"Gespent, " Divillian says slowing his words and speaking clearly to help him understand. "Do you think you can find the specific location and shipment time of the Triad delivery so we don't waste our time stealing a truck full of soy-spam? If you do, see if you can ready your system to control the delivery trucks. Even if we decide to hit the docks, we don't want them pulling out while we're fighting the soldiers."

Divillian looks towards Calico, How's your 'combat' training, and I don't mean with guns. I'm a bit rusty myself.

Divillian looks towards Angus, "What do you think of that idea Angus? If we have an ambush site set up in the barrens in a spot we control, you'll have time to put together an IED or two to disable any escorts the truck may have. We'll be able to control the area of engagement."

"My combat tactics tend to focus around misdirection, but I can put a guy down if I need to." she replies to Divillian. "But I like this plan of hitting a truck instead of the docks here. That way we'd control where it happens.  But we should be primed and ready with a backup plan for if they notice Das Hacker's efforts."
