wouldn't Rafa have to roll intimidation instead of leadership?  Holding a gun against someone's head? 

For the ones not taking part in the fight, sure intimidation would work, but, to get the messahe over the noise and chaos happening would need to get some order some attention to him.

At least that is how I interpret it

Hey, 2 hits ain't bad at all! I'm proud of Rafa!

According to the UWB scan, upstairs should be clear save for the possessed guard, so Panther should be clear to do her thing, while the rest help search, and your back should be covered with Caretaker taking care (pun intended) of any magic threats when/if they appear and Ahuechei with the physical stuff, should anyone get past Rafa and Tipsy (though, please come help if Rafa needs backup!!!).
And I'm fine with using Leadership! (At least Rafa has that skill, so: @Sent: Quiet, you! :p)

[Sparkling Dragonfly]

Ok, let's go upstairs! 
Let's see what we encounter there...

[Kouryuu]

Sent you going out or upstairs?

it seems that the rest is going up.

[Sentinemodo]

Xzyl - you got any idea on how to escape?
Since you begun to think and act independently to the orders you're given, I do hope you know you take responsibility now.
The plan was to to let you inside, provide enough distraction downstairs so you can do your job and let you escape through your own means.

Mind you I was hoping that if you don't know a thing about hardware, the stream from your cybereyes or googles would be sufficient for Panther to guide you. and if you'll get close enough she will be able to hack the thing using you commlink as a common signal range or even slot it inside if you need direct link.

going upstairs is suicide .. I don't mind, as I have a good enough religious backup to welcome the other side, and I know Rafa will escape, but what about Panther? Caretaker certainly isn't good at jumping down form the roofs I don't expect her to be any better.

[Xzylvador]

Rafa's 'plan' is to try and get out before backup arrives, and he thinks there's more chance of that happening if everyone (especially the tech-girl) is looking instead of just him. He also didn't really have a lot of time to think about it either, this just made most sense when the team first entered the building and that's the plan he sticked with.
Unlike Caretaker, he doesn't have religious backup enough to want to be all by himself when the cavalry arrives. ;p

The whole rafa doing hardware-stuff thing is all if, if, if. But IF it doesn't work or he can't find it or the room's wifi shielded (iirc his UWB scanner didn't get to see inside), we don't have another chance of getting you guys back in and upstairs.

[farothel]

We're there now and we need to move on.  I've just rolled some search and after spending an edge point it wasn't all that bad. 

[Sparkling Dragonfly]

Situation changes, as do plans. If Caretaker's plan was based on a succesful infiltration given enouggh time, the presence of police and reinforcement arriving shortly does change things. And Rafa on his own really isn't the fastest way to getting the materials we're after - assuming they are indeed there for taking, not on somebody who is scheduled to arrive to meet Daee. Now our objective  is to get out as soon as (in)humanly possible. Whoever's in charge.

[Xzylvador]

And the downstairs?
The Breathtaker gas (Arsenal 83) and smoke grenades go off? How do the guards and dogs respond? Rafa will hold his breath -relying on the Oxyrush nanites- and trigger the Flash Pak on his left shoulder when it starts.

[Kouryuu]

before i make big explanaitinon i wouldlike to know what goes on,

so is Rafa staying downstairs?

witch rooms is Is Panther searching who is searching where? so on. whats the plan?

for now i assume you have just thrown your grenades and they just arrived upstairs. so what now?

[farothel]

Obvious things like toilets and such I don't search, and for the rest: rooms with locks are first one the list.  Next are the rooms that look like they might logically contain the datacenter.  I have as knowledge skill matrix security procedures if needed (and data havens).

[Kouryuu]

for me interesting is how you go about searching the room that was not seen my UWB? you will have to search for a door for it
 is it first on the list? or do you search private stages first? also there is the Office.

[Xzylvador]

Yeah, Rafa's staying downstairs, afaik so is Tipsy, still at the door to keep people from going up.

[farothel]

for me interesting is how you go about searching the room that was not seen my UWB? you will have to search for a door for it

If we know a location known as the Office, I'll take that one first.  Then it's just a systematic search, door after door.  I should be able to recognise matrix hardware (even big nodes) quite easily.

[Kouryuu]

Ok anybody joins, what do the others do?
