Divilian nods and stands so that they are facing away from their vehicle.  He's tinted his magic so that they are hyper focused on him.  He looks past them to the others and indicates the vehicle with a quick nod of his head.

[Mercy Merchant]

The mage convinces the men of the necessity of commandeering their vehicle and Pennies shakes her head, a bit envious of his skills.  The pair are happy enough to have some paid time in the near-by bar and happily turn over the keys to the van.  Pennies climbs in and waits for the mage to join her before driving off to meet the rest of the team and put the next phase into operation.  "Sweet moves back there, Div.  You probably could have talked them out of their underwear."

The ride to the rendezvous is short and the crew going into the site dresses in the spare uniforms in the truck and gets ready to move out.

[schenn]

Hmmm Divillian smiles. Maybe when we get back. He laughs. Let's try to keep the bullets out of this thing. It'll make things a bit easier later on.

[Mercy Merchant]

At the rendezvous, Pennies dresses in the fourth set of overalls and looks around.  "OK.  Ice and I have given us the best chance to get in and out.  She will stay outside to monitor the situation and try to help if things start to go south.  I can try to find a direct connection once we get inside.  I am thinking it will be easier inside than from the outside.  Once connected, I can help guide the three of you through the area. but I will have to be left somewhere while I do that.  Wow!  We are really going to do this."  She looks around a bit sheepishly.  Guess I should not have said it quite like that.  Way to easy to tell this is my first real run."

[schenn]

Divillian slides on his overalls. Bleh... gross. These colors. Noticing the new runners apprehension he turns to her and says "If things go south, focus on staying alive, the objective comes second. Can't finish a job if you're dead." Then he smiles his charming smile and laughs, repeating the last line in a sing-song manner over and over. "We'll be fine Omae. Just don't draw attention to yourself."

"Let's take a look and see what equipment we can conceal our weapons in, I have no intention of going in unarmed!"

[Mercy Merchant]

Requiem begins looking through the equipment for places to hide his smaller weapons while Pennies drives.  More than once, she takes the opportunity to curse at the penchant for humans to design cars as torture devices for short people.  She pulls up alongside the other vehicle and lets Ice out to climb in with Xipe, who will be pulling security on her body while she is in VR.  Last second plans are discussed and adopted or discarded.  In the end, it is decided to go with the original plan.  Looking at the chrono, Pennies sees that she has plenty of time to get to the appointment, but she wants to get started in case the road goes bad on her.  "Hey, guys, we need to blow or risk not making the appointment time."

The van negotiates the streets to the building, where they are stopped by the security guys at the gate.  Pennies presents a pad with the work order listed and they guys check.  She knows the edit on the file is good, but holds her breath anyway.  The few seconds the guard is gone pass like hours and almost convinces herself that something has gone wrong when the man returns.  He is  frowning and indicates that Pennies should turn the vehicle off.  Pennies smiles on the outside but is running through her options on the inside.

[Jayde Moon]

"So, I see that you do have an appointment, per your records..." the guard begins.  "But on ours, there doesn't seem to be anything there, so some sort of mismatch..."

<<DREK>> the message comes from Ice.  <Keep him talking but away from checking again, I'm going to fix it... if I can...>>

[schenn]

"Yea we got the call about an hour ago. Apparently someone bought a CAS-Roach mama with their frozen catfish. You know, those giant flying roaches they have down there in the swamps. You know, the kind that send those sensitive researcher types jumping on their desks or hiding in closets. " Divillian chuckles and smiles at the guard, hoping he enjoys the mental image of the 'nerds' running from 6 inch long flying cockroaches. "You ever see those  things? They aren't dangerous just huge. "  Divillian does a quick matrix search on his link for images of cockroach  infestations from Mississippi to Florida while continuing.

"I had to knock out a nest of these things once. They'd only been in the house for a week, by that time the softball sized bastards had over 10,000 children. You know, like Roaches do. When I told ... what's his name...", Divillian waves his hand towards the facility, "about it over the comm, they decided an emergency call was probably the best option." Divillian hands the guard his Link which is pointing to an image gallery of CAS cockroaches. "Here, take a look at these things. You see any wandering around?" He asks, waiting for the guards attention to turn to the images.

[Mercy Merchant]

Pennies turns her face from the guard for a moment to hide her blush.  She knew it had been too easy and chides herself for not thinking of that.  Now she forces herself to be patient as Ice does her magic, unable to slip into VR to help her friend.

[Jayde Moon]

the guard looks at the pictures presented by Div, his face crossed with skepticism.  "that's a big fraggin' roach.  I haven't seen one like that, though.

Ice calls out from the back, "Well, that's fine, I don't really care, rather get home early anyway, but you might want to double check before you send us on our way."

The guard shrugs and pulls out his commlink, tapping on the display, then frowning.  Well, hell, that wasn't there a second, ago I swear."

He takes a few steps back and waves them through, "Alright, get to it, I suppose."

[Mercy Merchant]

Pennies nods her thanks at the guard.  So, any place in particular you want us to park?"  She drives through the gate, heading to the parking spot the guard had indicated on an AR map of the area.  Once in position, she looks at the others.  "Ok.  We are this far.  Let's grab some of the gear and do some roach killing."  She goes into the rear of the large van and grabs a tank of the insecticide and slips it onto her back by the straps, slips a pair of goggle on, and jumps down to the parking lot, looking every bit like a professional bug assassin..................or at least she hopes she gives off that impression.

[Jayde Moon]

There appear to be two buildings.  A large complex and a smaller building near the wall.  The larger building has a double door entrance, made of glass.  You can see a reception area inside.  The other building has a single, solid door, guarded by a maglock.  Based on where the guard parked you, it's plain he expects you to enter the reception area first.

[Mercy Merchant]

Pennies goes with the others to the reception area.  Entering, she approaches the desk with the pretty woman behind it and shows her the pad with the work order on it.  "Good morning.  We are here about the roach problem.  I think that you have the authorization form already?"

[Aria]

Requiem followed, feigned nonchalance written all over his considerably more human features...
