Rafa watched the surroundings and took a closer look at the gang signs around him.

Visual: Int 3, Skill 4, Enhancement 2, 'ware 3, Betel 1, Active 3 (16d6.hits(5)=5)
Sound: Int 3, Skill 4, Spec 2, Enhancement 2, 'ware 3, Betel 1, Active 3 (18d6.hits(5)=10) 
Street Gangs 3, Int 3 (6d6.hits(5)=2)
As always, looking for high ground with a view on the apartment.

Critter notices an obvious Security Camera mounted over the front door to the complex as well as the traffic light cam at the intersection, both have angles that could catch anyone entering the building through the main entrance. A scan of the astral brings nothing.

Rafa knows that the tags are those of the Strikers, Malice, and Thorns. The thorns are the most recent, covering the over two's tags for the most part. All three are local street gangs in Renton. The Strikers and Malice are very low powered gangs, but the Thorns have been known to occasionally get ahold of heavier firepower when they need it.

As he switches his enhancements on and starts looking around, he notices the two cameras that can catch the front door, as well as a KE Rotodrone sitting on the top corner of the building. He can't really hear anything over the Elven Rock pounding into his earbuds.

[Xzylvador]

@ team: "They've got a KE Rotodrone on top of the building, that would be really impressive if they were fake cops.
More than a little gang activity too, but that ain't surprising in these parts. Let's see if there's another way in, there's two camera's and that drone on the front door. Traffic camera's can have a short lifetime in these 'hoods, but that drone's another story."

He started for a walk around the building to look for other entry points than the front entrance.. they didn't have to be at ground level, just out of sight.

Critter followed Rafa, keeping an eye on the drone and checking the surrounding buildings while her companion was looking for a way in.

[Crash_00]

There is a rear exit on the building, set up to a Maglock system and every floor has four apartments with corresponding balconies.

[Xzylvador]

Rafa approached the back door and tried it, only to find it locked.
With a grin he pulled a chisel from his beneath his jacket and tried to break the door's lock.

[OOC: Chisel doubles effective Str:
Breaking open a door (16d6.hits(5)=4)
Second try at -2? (14d6.hits(5)=4)
Starting to suck... -4? (12d6.hits(5)=5)
Let's just see what that does...]

[farothel]

Her hand close to her pistol, Critter looked out to make sure nobody had seen them trying to enter.

intuition 4 + perception 2 + visual 2 + enhanced perception 1 =9 (9d6.hits(5)=3)

She also took a look on the astral.

intuition 4 + assensing 3 + enhanced perception 1 =8 (8d6.hits(5)=2)

[Crash_00]

Rafa manages to wedge the chisel into the doors frame and leverage himself against it. For a few second it feels like its never going to move, then, as your muscle feel ready to snap, it slowly cracks open. Rafa bounds back into the shadows as the alarm sounds. You can make out on the inner side of the door an emergency exit ARO flashing pointing people toward the exit. After about forty seconds a security guard dressed in a Hard Corps uniform makes it back to the door. You see him talk into his headset for a few seconds before he resets the alarm and pulls the door closed. Rafa knows the lock is busted from the chisel, so even if its closed, they'll have to repair it to lock it up again.

Critter doesn't notice anything on the astral at all.

[Xzylvador]

"I would've expected them cops to show up or send their drone if they really wanted to secure this place. Looks like they's confident enough jus' watching the front door an' the apartment they're in."

[farothel]

"Or they saw us and decided we were not worth the hassle," Critter said, "In any case, either way works fine for me.  There isn't anything on the astral either by the way.  Anything else we can do around here?"

[Xzylvador]

"We could go in, find out where they are, take out those cops and grab our guy."

[farothel]

"I'd rather do that with the entire team," Critter said, "you never know what kind of surprises they might have up there.  Things like spirits, drones and stuff like that."

[Xzylvador]

Comm @Team: "So, you guys sleeping on the job? Critter wants all of yous ta bust in this place... How long 'til you can get here?"

[Chrona]

"I got into Pig's car..... but Pig didn't..... I think he's gone, can someone come help, I can't drive."

[Crash_00]

Pig gets a commtext on the way to meet his contact, after a couple of minutes sending messages back and forth with someone he drops Nameless off and says he has to take care of some business first.

I haven't heard from Onion Man for a while, so I'll just run him in some capacity till the end of the run or he shows back up.
