Slobbertooth laughed at bnc's desire to be late to a party, but tried to keep her focused. "You're not in there to enjoy a party, you're there to pick up an elf decker. You've been given the gift of time for preparation. Take advantage of it.

"Oh, and you two should probably enter separately."

[Volker]

"Jeez, viejo, did cubbie bnc not behave?" She sighed in frustration at her team still not appreciating her ability to be focussed despite not looking it.
"Sensor on, sempai. Two hours after lunch, there won't be an elf decker to be picked up. Especially not without drawing attention to us. If we enter this club and hang around, obviously waiting for someone, we, too, will attract attention of those who look. Barkeepers, security personnel - the bouncer. All those will remember us if they are being asked the right questions. That is, if we don't blend into the masses. What preparation do we need? We go in there, party, have fun, dance, talk idle talk to drunk people. The later, the more drunk they are, the less they remember. If we wait till everyone else is in there - including our objective - we won't attract anyone's attention. Well, I hope I do, but you catch my meaning, ole tusker.
So, Torrent, why don't you take a lady out for dinner? I won't be much of an investition. One soyghurt and I'm full to the point of regurgitation."

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth was eager, but they weren't in a time crunch. "Head to a nearby strip club and see if they have any lunch specials, then.

"If you still have time on your hands, I'm sure that the club has a pretty weak security system that might have information on regular guests."

[Sabato Kuroi]

"Τell you what , kiddo, I'll buy you as much soyghurt as you can eat, if you retrieve the guestlist from the club's host.What do you say?"

I'll post tommorrow about my disguise.
Disguise: 11d6t5 3
Impersonation: 10d6t5 2
5 hits in total

[Volker]

"That totally sounds like a deal. A hack worth some thousands bucks for a soyghurt worth two. But bought by one handsome elf. I'm in"
She smiles and checks out the matrix security ... in frustration.
"Jeez, bosses. There is no host. The whole drek is running over chips and links and a RCC. However, there's always a weak spot."

bnc takes a short look at the commlinks' contents, then smiles.
"Okay, lemme see. That should be doable..."
bnc turns around to corner and goes limp. A moment later, she wakes up again.
"Oops."

[SquirrelDude]

"What do you mean, 'Oops'?"

[Jack_Spade]

What it meant became evident only moments later when the bouncer produced his shock stick and began advancing toward the teams position, he hadn't walked more than 20 steps when the door opened and another two guys - similarly armed and equipped followed him out.

The orcs face did show no emotion when he gently tapped against the tinted window of their car.
"You know, you aren't the first kid that wants to get on the VIP list. Open up, or you can kiss your chances of ever setting foot in there goodbye."

[SquirrelDude]

"Oh, that's what you meant by oops.

Time to deal with the goon squad.

Slobbertooth slid the door open with force, and let Krestov step out in front of the bouncer. He just gave bnc an understanding shrug. When Slob walked out he put a his hand on his Ruger's grip, but didn't reveal it to the goons.

"Always a pleasure to abide by the request well armed gentlemen."

[Jack_Spade]

"Now, what the hell are you playing at here? I know a thing or two about matrix stuff and if my defender software tells me I just received a mark from a wannabe hacker across the street, I kinda get curious. So what's this about, eh?"

The ork looked grimmly at the two runners.

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth shrugged and answered honestly.

"I couldn't tell ya what the hacker that did that was thinking. Don't know much about the matrix myself. You said they were trying to get access to the VIP area, maybe they just wanted access to the good drugs."

[Jack_Spade]

"You know, it's funny that two tough guys are sitting in their car across this club. What are you? Mafia? In that case forget it - you won't get anything out of this club. So fuck off."
The ork nodded to his two comrades and walked back to the club, but slobber noticed that they did move in a slightly lateral way so they could keep the team in the corner of their eyes.

[Sabato Kuroi]

Forget about it guys.Just give me a couple of hours to change my face-in case they feel suspicious about this one- and I'll try to enter the club.

[Volker]

bnc tries to give her best teenage-girl-got-caught-doing-mischief smile.
"Uh, sorry that happened, gentlemen. I, uhm, was just thinking, uh... Crap, I should never have wasted my creds for that crappy dongle. Jeez."

Once they moved away from the club, bnc begins to swear heavily. After some indeed very nasty words, she complains: "I told ya we should wait for a crowd to blend in. Next time, sempai, I do the thinking and you do your stuff, capisci? Drek! It shouldn't have happened that this shit of a filthy Hermes detects my mark, but in the matrix this can happen anytime. I say it once again, we wait for a couple of hours and come back here when town awakens."

EDIT: Jack reminded me that the window pane are opaque. Thus, the bouncers have not seen bnc's face.
She breathes in, still not giving their fellow runners time to interrupt her. "Now. I'm the expert for matrix security, but Torrent is for infiltration. Is it wise that I re-dress, change my hairstyle and tattoes and retry entering with the crowd? I think I can blend in easily once the bouncers are distracted by like a hundred people looking all the same, but your turf, your decision."

She breathes in, still not giving their fellow runners time to interrupt her. "Now. I'm the expert for matrix security and I say we return when there are more icons around; but Torrent is the expert for infiltration. Shall we stick to the plan that enter in disguise? If so, do you agree that it would be wiser to return once we have a crowd to blend in?"

[Sabato Kuroi]

"They may be extra cautious tonight after our little incident and if things go south, I don't know if I'll be able to get both of us out.On the other hand, once we're in, we may be able to find a direct link for you.So we wait for the crowd."

 

this is how Torrent looks atm

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth looks sideways at bnc. "Yeah you guys can leave and come back with new disguises."

"So was the matrix security tougher than expected, which would indicate something interesting going on here, or did you just frag the situation for a couple of hours, bnc?"
