Nick check his watches.

Sylvia. It`s half past midnight. I believe it would be difficult right now to call the meeting with real estate broker. To the other point...every appartement is equipped with house intercomm terminal. I believe guys who were after me were using it to declare state of emergency and lockdown on the building.

"Then we'll have to do it the difficult way," Sylvia said, "sneaking in through one of the windows.  Let me see which one doesn't give on the street."
She looked at the plans again to see which window, preferably into one of the bedrooms, she could use that wasn't visible from the street.


It's probably mentioned already, but is there a window that doesn't give on the street? And on which floor where they again?

[Sichr]

There is balcony acessible from living room.
it is like

10th                     Penthouses, access to rooftop terace
9th                        street
8th                        L/R
7th                        street
6th                        L/R
5th floor                Street
4th floor                L/R
3rd floor               street
2nd floor               left/right side of the building
1st floor                 balcony to the street (towards Junction)
Ground level         no balcony


Ahh and sorry, I didn`t deleted windows on the left side of the appartement plan...it is shared wall with next appartement on the floor.

"I shall be fine, I'll summon some assistance when we do this. If i only had time." He sighs and then listens to the planning attentively.

[farothel]

"Main bedroom window looks the best," Sylvia said, "unfortunately it's at the street side, but not too many people will look up to the fifth floor.  I'll have to check at the location itself, but if there's a balcony above, it's the best.  Any of you guys are good climbers?"

[Ren]

"What, you really want to climb five floors in front of the watching eyes of the drones, with no cover whatsoever? I'd advise against it, unless Fang can take the drones over, which he wasn't too happy about earlier." Bulldog added. "Nick, what can you tell us about the installed security: cameras and sensors? Fang, when we go in, we will need a clear way. There probably is a security spider in the building. Can you make our presence unknown to him, or wrestle the controls from him at the least?"

[Sichr]

@Ren: Well if you are asking... There are two guards down at the lobby and another two patroling around the building. They are accompanied with Dobermans, and I have seen a few other drones, like Rotordrones. Equipped with non-lethal weapons. Penthouses in tenth floor have their own security, as far as I know. The rest of the building if connected to ARC in the lobby and also PANICBUTTON ofcourse. KE have response time up to 2 minutes. I don`t know nothing more about the system architecture than that there are maglocks all around the building, biometric scanner at the elevators and main entrance, cameras at main corridors and stairways and remote controled lock on every floor and appartement entrance doors. And, that intercomm system I`ve mentioned. I didnt pid more attention to this, since I have all privileges I need to enter and get to Jacquelins appartement. Also...in state of emergency my SIN usually allows me some freedom of movement in most objects like this, in case that medical assistance is needed.

@Sylvia: Balcons and outer perimeter would probably be protected by combination of visual and movement sensors. Probably average level, as this is far from hi-profile targets you have been trained for. Also, there is more than this entrance. One service exit/entry point is in the lobby, back of the building, leading to service room.
Detailed maps you have show that there are air vents, that are used to pump the fresh air in and fumes out of the underground garrages. Those shafts are shared for Apartement house`s and Junction`s underground areas, and leads to the set of hatches and gratings built in the roadway between the two. You recall thermohraphic imagery from Mask who was cruising the street, showing warm air blowing throught them like infrared geysirs.

[farothel]

"You might have a point, Bulldog," Sylvia said, "although I don't think it would be that much of a problem.  We can also take the backdoor into the building, although then we will have to get in through the front door of the appartment.  Or go through the air vents, although I assume they would be smart enough to make them too small at some point.  Maybe the backdoor is the best.  At least then we can use the stairs.  And maybe visit the control room for the building's cameras and such.  Fang can have fun with those."

[MaxKojote]

@All: Taking control of the building's security systems is something I can handle. I'm assuming it's a localised network, which would mean you or I would need a visit to the control room. However, remember that once we take over the control room, we'll be working on a timer. Let's see if it actually is isolated first... He closed his eyes as he settled back into VR. He drew into his Resonance as he began shooting from data trail to data trail, looking for information on whether the security system at <Nick's Mother's Building> is wired or wireless.

@All: If it  is indeed isolated, I'll need to head on-site. The last thing we need is for someone to remove the wireless adapter mid-rescue. And you guys will have other jobs to  take care of. Unless one of you is willing to attempt to somehow persuade the spider to work with us.

[farothel]

"I can probably get you into the control room," Sylvia said, "but I think it's easier just to knock the spider out and replace him.  Maybe use his equipment, so you don't have to hack in, but can simply continue.  But that's something we'll have to see on site.  Fist we have to get in.  So we use the back door and Nick goes through the front?"

[Sichr]

@Fang: Datasearch brings you from marketinhg materials, speaking of completely accessible appartement housing with no restriction for third-party providers, secured internal wireless network accessible only to Residents, with the possibility to invite friend, partner or relative by granting them access to each appartements home terminal, On demand, more secured network can be set-up for residents, restricted to their appartements or shared spaces. Building is also equiped with hard-wired system of intercomm terminals, that is connected to security system of the building.
For the latter you are able to dig up ARC technology provider, which is regional supplier, AA class regional company called G4S. You take note that their Physical security branch delivers guards.
The building is listed to be PANICBUTTON connected, every appartement has their own trigger linked to ARC and Knight Errant Seattle Customer Service Emergency Hotline (KE-SCEH).
Further details are for internal use only and kept on he network separated from meshwork and thus inacessible by general Datasearch means. More details may be gained by on-site recon...

[MaxKojote]

@All: That knocking out option might be best. They do have an isolated network of sorts. Perhaps interrogate the spider a bit before knocking him out.. He followed up the suggestion with the rest of the information he had found on his mass search. @All: At the very least, it looks like I'll need to go with being physically in the control room. I can dominate the camera systems and the like, but you'll still need to not set off any of the residents here.

[Sichr]

Hey, you know... Nick reads your resume in AR ...I am this "relative". You see. I have access to Jacquelin`s terminal. Would that be of any use?

[farothel]

"It might be, but you have to be in her apartment for that," Sylvia said, "and therefore in the presence of the guy, so I assume your ability to do something will be limited at that time.  Here's a plan.  All but Nick go in through the back door, where we put Fang in the control room so he can start working his way in.  We signal Nick and he goes in through the front door and up to the apartment, where we wait outside the door to come crashing the party should it be necessary, while Fang keeps an eye out on things.  Nick has his comm running so we can follow the conversation.  Sounds like a plan?"

[Ren]

”Hope you’re not forgetting the corp hacker that might still be inside. And about waiting in the corridor: if I were the man inside, I’d set one of my guards outside, otherwise my line of sight would be gravely limited.” Bulldog creased his brow. ”We could still wait on the same floor, in the stairwell, but that also carries some minimal risk. Also, don’t count on a running comm. The first thing I’d do would be shutting down all communication, even if I don’t know about my ‘guest’ having his own people, just as a precaution. If I don’t forget this, I don’t think he will. And this is a mage we’re talking about, so there probably will be astral security. How can we handle that without alerting him?”
