Kynos slid his duffel bag under one of the seats and made a bee line directly to the buffet. It took him only a minute to bring back a precariously stacked plate and started munching.
The sheer variety of taste brought a rare smile to his lips. Moving only by muscle power through Seattle surely did help to develop a healthy appetite.

When his plate was clean, he looked up expectantly: "So, you all had some time to think - anyone got any great ideas in regard to scouting out this joint? We'll certainly try to get the layout from the astral, but that won't do us much good in regard to electronic defenses."

[Kuirem]

Wheely has already helped himself to the buffet as well, he raise his head from his plate at Kynos question "I mentioned before that I have a drone that should be able to scout from the ground, he doesn't fly but with all the eyes they likely have it's probably better. I could also scout from the Matrix, I have a couple of tricks that should help me to go unnoticed. Since the drones are obviously running wireless with the antenna they won't be hard to find, anything not wireless I won't be of much help though."

[Mercy Merchant]

Simone returns from the buffet with a plate piled high with food.  It is hard to pass on things that she almost never gets a chance to eat, including a waffle.  She finishes chewing a bit of the food and answers Kynos.  "Like I said, I have some minimal sneaking skills.  I suppose that I could go in the trojan container."

[Ennui]

I grab some food.  Can't turn down free stuff after all, but shake my head at the plates piled high.  How can people eat like that, 

I'd like to get the layout of the compound and the surrounding area.  Keep an eye out for a good snipers nest otherwise I can do in the container as well.  I can sneak in but my best options at quick take downs are loud..

Ayato grabs some calories to fuel him through the day.

I am an assault specialist.  I can take out pinpoint targets and am effective in small groups.  If we encounter some magical resistance I have some skill nuetralizing spirits.  One would be foolish in these days not to be able to.

[Jack_Spade]

"Good. Drone recon is a good way to deal with that. If you can pinpoint the various cameras and sensors as well, this would be perfect. One of those bug drones would likely be best, if you have one. Does anyone of you have a cyber deck or a stealth dongle for a commlink that we could use to slave the drone? That would increase operational security enormously.

As I see it, we have three main hurdles to master here:
- The drone fleet - dealt with by destroying the antenna, allegedly. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some other way of keeping in contact, so geeking the rigger is a top priority.
- Preventing the off duty mercs from swarming out into the compound - if they do we have little chance of taking the farm without a full out war. Sealing them in their quarters and/or gassing or bombing them, would be a good solution.
- Securing access to the basement - if someone raises the alarm, I'm sure they'll lock down the hatch or door and we'll have to bust out our micro welders to get in.

So we need three teams, one dealing with the mercs, the other with the rigger, while the third one takes care of the antenna."

Kynos polished his plate with a piece of bread as he spoke, looking at times towards the elevator, waiting for Sovereign to appear.

Curious but not overly disturbed, Noëmie goes towards Valentina's voice. On the way, she checks the names on the doors: you never know when it could come in handy to know who's who.

[gilga]

@All Gem adds softly "...but before all that we need to record a sale somehow. They cannot make a sale if they are all 'handled'."

@Nyx The names are "Nera Torre ", "Bianca Regina", "Pango Nero ",Cavaliere Bianco", following the voice leads you to the name Bianca Regina, the room seems like a regular office space but there are flowers, a large bouquet of white roses.  Valentina seems preoccupied playing with one of them. She seems almost happy, but as you enter she becomes all business again. She asks you  "I hope you are not hungry... How was your trip to my basement was it to your liking?"

[Stuttrboy]

Ayato nods curtly to Gem.  Yes but that is likely the easiest to accomplish, setting up a fake sell should be a simple matter and a spy drone to record it.  We do not need to prove they are dealing with vampires just that they are selling sentients, so we could set up the sale ourselves.  The assault will be the main focus and require the most resources.

[Kuirem]

Wheely shake his head "Haven't got a bug one I'm more of the ground type, it's a Renraku Gerbil if you want to know. As for slaving it my own Console will do the trick just fine to hide it from prying eyes in the Matrix. Agree with you on those team, I would likely be more useful against the Rigger or the Antenna."

[Ennui]

Making actual plans before gathering intel is foolish.  Kynos seems to have the gist of the basics but I don't think we are to the assigning teams phase just yet.  Gem have you been to the compound?  Can you tell us anything about it?

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell's finger was extended to press the the top floor button on the elevator panel.  That is, he was about to before his commlink started ringing again.  He fetches it out of his pocket and reads the disappointing update.  He really was looking foward to crashing a high class banquet and eating up all of their most expensive food and drink.  Reluctantly he rides upward to the third floor to dine with the rest elsewhere.

A minute passes and the elevator doors slide open.  Revealing himself to the other guests and customers of the establishment.  Looking a bit out of place to be sure.  Firstly he was dressed in all black sporting a spiked leather jacket and heavy combat boots with his pant legs tucked inside.  Long dark brown hair fell evenly to the sides of his head and ran midway down his back.  Pale-white skin make up his color and complexion.  Maxwell had the attire and dress code of a leatherneck biker.  And in some cases, carried himself as one.

Scanning the area for Kynos and whomever else like him, he braves forward and asks a nearby hostess where his compatriots are.  "Hey I'm looking for some pals of mine, they said they would be here.  Have you seen them by chance?"

[gilga]

@Maxwell - Wherever you go you feel shadowed by security. They allowed you in alright but they did not forget your spectacle. The hostess grows pale and nervous when you talk to her "Who might these friends be?" She asks.


@all Gem said "Technically I was inside but I was blindfolded from the entrance to the farm till the compound. They do not bring many guests so I am unofficially their new BTL supplier. The Finnigans have access to some premium BTLs I give them this. 

Every time I arrive, I stick to the container to 'try one' with my boyfriend. It takes about 6 hours and I am awake most of that time and can listen to my surrounding.
That freight container is part of some patrol, two soldiers. I counted 6 different voices from the outside during the three different times I was in. I also encountered 4 different people, always in pairs that blind folded me and took me inside in some jeep.

"It was...interesting." She shakes her head "Some of this people are weird. Then again, if they are Shadowrunners, it's not too surprising I suppose." She shakes her head "They seem to think all is due to them and that they can do however they please. It'll take me a while to get used to this..." She stops then squints "Erm, I hope you don't mind, I figured you may want me to get out from under your feet. This seemed like a way to do so. Or at least start the process."

[gilga]

@Nyx Valentina comments "Well shadowrunners are a bit difficult to work with but they get the job done and talent is difficult to find nowadays." she listens to you and allow you to  finish undisturbed. When you finish, Valentina insists that you seat down. Once you do, she adds softly "You got it backwards dear, I want you to stick around". She then explain "I like how you handle yourself in the hostess job and how your clients are happy. "    Then she remains silent a relatively long times and her words seem to hang in mid hair, it make you somewhat unease. When Valentina finally talks again she says very directly "How long can it last? My guess is that not very long from now you are going to call in sick and then we will never see you again. You will skip this town just like you skipped many towns before. You are long way from home, aren't you dear?"
