"You sure got here fast." Rafa said with a smirk when Critter showed up before he'd even had a chance to touch the tiger. "I mean, after the security was scouted and taken down and snowy here was knocked out.", the self-satisfied grin didn't leave his face.

@Team: "I know what we are here for, we got paid for it. I am here to make money. That means doing the trabajo I'm hired for but doesn't mean I can't take on small things on the side if they're worth it. A bunch of cred-in-a-cage just sittin' here with security already out ain't an oportunidad I'm planning to miss, cabron. I don't know what cop trids you watch but theft is theft, there's no "half thefts" 'cuz the chorro only emptied half of the vault."

Providing I'm not held up be Pig
He walked out of a shadow behind Critter, trying to keep out of the gas which he could see the shadows of on the astral, he'd been there sometime before Critter and thought Rafa hadn't noticed him. His tone was nicer than it was to Pig,
"Do it in your own time then Rafa. Don't drag us into your own thefts."

"Don't worry," Critter said, "You city guys can't recognise an awakened Critter if it stood in front of you and suddenly dissapeared.  And yes, there are animals who can do that.  And some of them can do a lot worse than that, take if from me.  Now, let's get the kitty in the van and out of here."

The gas is mostly dispersed by the time the rest of the team arrives. A nearby cage of cheetahs also got a full lungful of the gas, but most of the caged animals just look angry.

Just let me know how you're loading up the tiger. Is Critter giving it a dose of Slab?

Before shooting the dart into the tiger, Critter went into the astral for a quick look around.  first at the tiger and then around for any spirits.

intuition 4 + assensing 2 + specialisation 2= 8 (8d6.hits(5)=1)
intuition 4 + assensing 2 =6 (6d6.hits(5) =1)

If there was nothing, she shot a dart with slab in the tiger.  It wasn't that difficult as the animal was not moving.

"Ok, let's have a look before we load it up," she said, "If some of you can look around for a way to transport it to the van, I'll check to see if it is all right."

Critter The Tiger is healthy but asleep, and not awakened. You don't see anything in the immediate area thats magical (other than other PCs that are magically active).

Pig The guard has a Novatech Airware and a Predator 4 on him. He's wearing an Armored Vest embroidered with the zoo's logo and when checking his eyes, you notice he's wearing contacts with electronics in them. His keys are still hanging in the golf cart, and he doesn't have any restraints on him. If you're wanting to access his commlink, give me a Logic + Computer (2) check to register your image link without causing the commlink to reboot.

Rafa shrugged and turned his back on the guys who were dealing with the tiger. The stupid cat hadn't been any harder to knock out than anything else. Besides, if it was so special, powerful and dangerous, why the hell was it almost extinct? He looked at the Cheetah cage, an idea formed in his mind and a smile appeared on his face.
Cheetahs... Like tigers, only portable. Great!

He cracked his knuckles and walked towards the cage.
There was bound to be someone who wanted one of those as a pet or guarddog. Even if they couldn't be trained -he realized his knowledge on these animals wasn't really great- they were bound to bring a good crowd and large bets in some pitfights. And after they'd died, there'd be some people who believed there was power in genuine cheetah tails or paws and a cheetah head would really look nice next to all the other bling the higher-ups used to decorate their place.

Two of the cheetah's lay stunned on the ground, a third stood growling in a corner obviously annoyed by the gas but struggling to stay on its feet.
Rafa hung his rifle over his shoulder and opened the cage making sure his muscled body blocked the animal's exit.
"Sólo una pequeña mascota, gatito."

Oh come on, seriously?

He went back into hiding before he became cat food.

The cheetah manages to struggle to its feet once it notices Rafa and gives a snarl showing him a full set of teeth that make you a bit more hesitant than you were a second ago (Give me another Composure (2) test). After a split second of stare down between the cheetah and Rafa, it lunges. Rafa easily side steps the lunge, and moves to slam the cheetah against the cage, but the cat manages to twist itself free.

Everyone in the Warehouse make me an initiative roll.

Oni: The Knight Errant cruisers are both sitting there when you make your way back to where you can see them, but after a moment the old car pulls off just leaving one cruiser at the construction site.

Logic + Computer (5d6.hits(5)=1)

Edge to reroll (4d6.hits(5)=3)

4 net hits.

Once in I'm not doing anything fancy, just formatting the commlink.  A burst write test on PART0 should nuke the entirety of physical storage... no permanent damage but also no way to recover the lost data.

Unless those contacts really look like they have their own ORU, those are no threat.  The Ares IV on the other hand, that's going to need a smartgun system disabled and a clip ejected.

Logic + Armorer (9d6.hits(5)=4)

(Going to repeat that process with the other guard, the weapons part of it at least).

Logic + Armorer (9d6.hits(5)=2)

Orson will pull the keys out of the golf cart and leave it where it rests, keeping the keys, clips and Ares's to toss into an animal cage or something where a revived guard can't simply grab them and start firing.

{No restraints??  Seems a little odd, then again this is a Mickey Mouse firm}

"One of you guys wanna help me get these guys into a Tiger Ca-", Pig says as he walk through the now open (or at least unlocked) door to the warehouse just in time to walk in on Rafa and the Leopards.

Coughing slightly and covering his nose and mouth Pig chokes out, "Why do I even bother???", and goes looking for an aggressive animal cage to deposit the guards' trinkets into that doesn't include a Rafa.

PigYou delete all the files on the commlink, but you notice that its been sending a constant live stream from the commlink to another source (probably the security room). You can toss them in a cage full of panthers right inside the warehouse.

Well those files were going to have to be handled by Boosts anyway, unless they really want me to go walking into the security room, but with 0 karma spent I think that's a bad idea.

@Boosts:  The guards' commlinks were set to stream the optics
and logs.  Make sure they're out of the central system and that
the system hasn't been feeding them right back to corporate.

Critter was working with the tiger, checking if the animal was ok.  As it wasn't the first animal she had tranqed, she was very quick.  She first did an astral scan, followed by a scan with her medkit.

Quote
assensing: intuition 4 + assensing 2 = 6 (6d6.hits(5)=1)
zoology knowledge skill: logic 3 + zoology 4 = 7 (7d6.hits(5) =2)
check with medkit: logic 3 + first aid 1 + medkit 6 + animal empathy 2 + 2 (zoology) =14 (14d6.hits(5) =4)

She had just finished checking up with the tiger when she heard something in the next cage.
"Oh, just great," she said when she saw the cheetah and rafah.
