When Kachina reopened her eyes, she was in the van.
<<@all: Guys, no one is here yet. But who knows, they may be back any minutes now. The mage who took part of the raid was definitely here.
That changes our plan slightly, but maybe for the better. Ravener, can you unlock the door to the room? Angus, how fast can you install that gas?>>

[Turkish]

Realizing that the room is vacant, VanGuard transitions back to AR and instructs the Bumblebee to return to the van and repositions the van to have a better viewing angle of any vehicles entering the parking lot.  He also instructs the fly spies to watch all approach angles from the streets, in conjunction with the van.

>> Team [VanGuard] I hope the motel room hasn't been abandoned, we might be doing a lengthy stakeout.  Everyone good on food/drink?  Now is a better time to stock up on rations than later, in my opinion. <<

[Beta]

>>Team [Forty] How would you all feel about a bit of B&e?  I'm thinking that if they stayed here a bit, scents might be pretty good.  I got up a beast spirit, so with it to help guide me, I might get a good enough scent to recognize these guys by smell, in case we ever meet them with doubt about who they are, ya know?  No promises, I'm not a fragging blood bound, but so far we got no way to tell who these guys are unless they got those masks on.  Unless Ravener can find film of them in the motel cameras?<<

[obidancer]

<<@All: Forty, yes. That's why I asked Ravener if he could get the door lock opened.
You can get the scent while Angus install his booby trap.
Vanguard will keep an eye out. Is there a way to maybe install a microphone or some sort of listening device?

[Yok]

>>Team[Henway] Jus' tell me where ya wants me, udderwise I'ma stayin' outta sight in da van.  Unless we got a room dat's prolly da best place fer me ta be.

[Agleaca]

"Sorry, I should  have said, I have 6 grenades with nerostun I can launch one, and set it to go off with a wireless signal from any of our gear. hunt it down and set it up were ever you like. That method only takes a second but may cause some noise. But, if anyone has any talent modifying gear they might be able to set it up to go off when ever they like. I could also wire the room with explosive, or one of the rooms off that one and blow a hole threw the wall to give another way in."

[Turkish]

Assuming someone gets the keys to the rooms that Ravener reserved for us, VanGuard will situate himself on one of the beds and then jump into the van, one of his DNI's will still be connected to his console; otherwise he will remain in the van with both DNI's remaining hooked up.  In either situation he will be jumped into the van, in hot sim.

>> Team [VanGuard] Unfortunately, all I have are tracking RFID's.  No listening devices other than my drones, which while they aren't huge, they aren't exactly hideable either.  The best I can do is that one of my fly spies has a laser mic and so does my van; I can paint the door and/or window, but that will leave a visible dot where it is aimed. Does anyone else have anything that would be less inconspicuous? <<

[WillAsher]

>> Team [Ravener] ]Doors should not be a problem.  None of the other rooms look to be suspicious, nothing that shows they were rented by the same group.  They are still checked in, too.  I don't have any better surveillance gear, unfortunately.  No cameras here either.  Typical No Tell Motel, really.  If we are going to plant something, let me tie it into my PAN.  That way I can keep it silent, make it less likely to be detected. <<

[obidancer]

Kachina pondered a few seconds.
The role of a leader was to make decision, and sometimes it involved taking risks and chances.
<<team [Kachina]: Ok, Ravener get the door opened, Forty get in there quickly to get as much as prints you can.
Vanguard and I will keep watch.
Once you're done, get in the next room with Angus. Angus, you'll get re add your to blast through the wall.
Henway, stay on stand by in the van, sorry I don't have much for you to do, right now. I need everyone on silent mode in the Van. Make it look like it's empty. Angus and Forty, park the Gopher near for a quick get away.
Let's go team!

[Yok]

>>Team[Henway] Don't bodder me none, boss.  I gets paid da same eder way.  I'ma keep mah head down, so if ya gets incomin' somebody holler at me and I'll give 'em a ell em gee enema.

[Beta]

Forty reaches for the door controls but then checks herself I may not be smart, for once Forty think before you charge in.  There's something ... Ah, natch; . two metas exposed, humans all safe in the vehicles.  Never trust humans to keep you safe, you know that.

She takes a moment to go over what has been said, and not said, since they arrived.  Then choosing her words carefully she sends out her response.

">>Ravener [Forty] Soon as you got the lock loose, and give th good word that you're done with all your sweeps for any surprises they left in there, let me know and I'll saunter in."

[WillAsher]

Ravener peers carefully around the surrounding area Matrix icons to ensure that there aren't any surprises waiting for his team.  Finding nothing threatening, he lightens his grip on the digital skies and falls back into his body.  Stretching as best he can, he picks up his EBR and verifies it is ready to fire while messaging the team. >> Team [Ravener] Matrix looks clear, setting up for fire support and then I can open the door when you are in place.<< 

Taking glance at his AR window of the local icons, he steadies his breathing and watches his teammates approach the door as his nerves vibrate with tension. 'Be safe' he mutters.

[Beta]

Forty takes a deep breath, then gets her attitude on.  >>Team [Forty] OK, let's go see if they left any smelly socks around.  It's a glamorous life as a ShadowRunner, right?<<

She makes sure that her little machine pistol is ready to draw if necessary, then forces herself to casually saunter up to the motel room door.  She swiped her commlink past the lock in what hopefully looks like someone unlocking their door, puts it away, then opens the door a crack. Assuming nothing dramatic happens at this point .....  OK Harry, in you go, all materialized so they can see your gorgeous fur.

Again assuming nothing starts shooting at her spirit, or the like ... After a moment she pushes the door open wider as she starts scuttling in at an angle, making sure not to make herself an easy target for any surprises.  enough if/then statements.  I'll edit onto this one to narrate the results later

[Jayde Moon]

Forty rushes in, ready for anything and finds... nothing.

Well, at least, nobody.  The beds aren't made, the flat trid isn't on.  No sounds from the bathroom.

All, clear, the spirit's words come across quietly to the elf.

Looking around, it seems like they may be too late, but then Forty spies some papers under an open document envelope.  Well, there's that then.

She doesn't move deeper in just yet as she takes a deep sniff of the room, also taking note of the muddy footprints that desecrate the carpet.

The smells definitely match some she found at the crime scene and she tucks it all away.

[Beta]

Forty takes her hand away from the butt of her gun, and with a touch of regret pulls out her commlink instead, and scans the room with it so the team can see.

>>Team [Forty] I'm going to move further in, let me know if the video shows you anything you want me to look at more carefully.<<

With that she moves herself and her spirit to the beds, working to sort out the individual scents of the people who slept there.  Let's hope they are sweaty sleepers she thinks, before putting her focus on where Harry is snuffling.
