(Setting) Bankrupt place
| >A tall, young man walks up to the place and looks around
"Guess I'm the first one here."
| >Dahk uncloaks and chuckles
"More like second."
| "W-Woah! I swear does everyone with a cloak like doing that?"
| >Dahk chuckles, brushing her hair out her eyes
"Only the bored ones."
>She rolls her eyes towards N3
"How does that teleport thing even work"
| Also jokes on you both.
I was first, been waiting on that roof over there.
>he points to the building across the street.
| "Fine I get it... I was the last one here, happy? Not all of us have some technological marvel."
>CN signs heavily
| "Nope! we're still waiting on someother people, you are decidedly... Average.
| Wait...the employer didn't say, were we supposed to do nonlethal take-down?
| "We're supposed to sneak hun, better if we don't take anyone out at all"
| "...Did noone bring a car?"
| I think that Forest fellow was anointed that position, if push comes to shove i can just warp us all out.
|
| A smallish girl arrives at the location, wearing a parka and a scarf with long black hair
"Huh, is this the place?"
>She looks around before checking on her phone
| >Kou turns to CN
"Huh, yeah that's me, you're huh... Geekboy?"
| >Kou looks at the others
"Dont recognize the rest though..."
| >Dahk raises her hand
"Nice to meetcha Kou, I'm Dahk! Cutie aficionado!"
| >The girl raises her hand and meets the handshake, a lukewarm gaze on her face
"Huh, okay?"
| >A shadow can be seen on the front glass of the place, Like a person peeking trough from the inside, but it quickly fases away
| >A tall girl walks in with dark green hair tied into a long ponytail. She wears a long duffle coat. A half gas mask covers the bottom of her face and a pair of orange-tinted ballistic goggles rest on her head. With dark circles under her tired looking eyes, ones that CN might vaguely recognize
| >Forest looks around wordlessly but nods in acknowledgement
| "Looks like we're all here...
Did someone seriously forget the escape car"
| >Kou just shrugs
"If we do this well enough we wont have to deal with running away, just a stroll"
| (i was asleep;-;)
So...where do we start?
| (i was asleep;-;)
So...where do we start?
| >Kou just shrugs
"Introductions I guess, I haven't been on a run since that fiasco in seattle, so its been a while"
>She runs her hand through her hair
"Name's Kou, just Kou, I'm a rigger and a spider, nice to meet you all"
| >Forest nods without a word.
| >The door of the drugstore opens, the lights from inside illuminate the sidewalk
|
| "Well then... I guess that's for us?"
>CN walks to the door
| >The inside is of a small store, only that the stands have been recently removed according to the lines of dust on the floor and walks, and the counter has two attached computers with a mess of wires that lay on the floor and continue to a backroom
>There's a man in a black suit staring at an holographic screen on the wall, holding a laptop With both hands.
| "Uh... hello?"
| >The man turned to the open door and then back to the screen
"Come in, come in, all five of you. I would normally apologize for the place I chose to meetup but the lack of vehicle tells me we're evenly disappointed"
| >Forest looks annoyed. Waving her fingers repeatedly no-no-no-no-no-no
| >she turns around stepping into the corner for a bit, Faint sounds of multiple vehicles beeping autolocks on and off in the distance
| >Kou just shrugs
"If we do this stealthily, like you asked, I can just walk away and they wont be any wiser"
| >there is the sound of a levivan landing somewhere close by
| "We cannot enter without a plan B, Its foolish to relay only on a plan A"
>He Turned around now to look at the group, and for this second, at forest
"What is she doing?"
| >Forest turns around, answering his question with a hand gesture moving around an invisible steering wheel
| "Guess we do have a vehicle then."
| "I guess we do.."
>J.C placed the laptop on the counter and looked around
"So, we have the decker, a escape vehicle, you said you sniped too right?"
>He looked again at forest
| >Forest nods yes. But doesn't seem to be carrying a rifle
| "You're going to start with non-lethal rounds, tranquilizers or something, we don't want unnecessary casualties on my account, that goes for everyone, but specially the girl who's going to be pointing a large caliber weapon to the building.."
| "Works for me, I just carry a stungun around anyways."
| "You'll be in here for your hacking CN, I'm sure you can easily work long-distance from what I've heard of you.."
>He started typing on the laptop and the holographic screen had now a picture of a small safe
| >Dahk shrugs,
"Non lethal works, i guess"
| >Kou looks around and raises her hand
"Any place I could use as a mainframe? If you want me to act like a spider atleast. Though I could deal with an access and a remote connexion"
| >J.C nods at forest and then points at Kou
"This place is all we currently have, the wirement go to small servers on the back, not sure how helpful they can be for your spider.. mainframe thing.."
| >Kou shrugs
"As long as I can access their security system and electric grid i'll be fine"
| "Perfect, now, the infiltrators, N3 and Dahk I believe?"
| (i sleep but i ready)
Ready.
>cyruy holds a pink vial in his hands
| (i sleep but i ready)
Ready.
>cyruy holds a pink vial in his hands

|
No GET data
| I got 'em happier than a child at a park chasing a duck.
| Is it weird that I love this font?
| >Outside the bankrupt place, walks by a red llama, seemingly lost.
| >Dahk nods,
Yeah, invisibility helps
| >J.C stared forward for too long already, then shook his head
"Sorry, yes, infiltrators, I need you two to know that you're going practically blind in here, the information I have on this company is little to none, wich is why the pay is so great here.."
>He looked at each one of the group
"I will be supplying you with information of the floor you'll be at the moment, for wich I will need you to use these"
| >He searched around on the desk and took a tiny box, about the size of a matches box
"Small cameras that will help us guide your progress from the store, you can attach them to your gear or be prodided with a pair of fake glasses to attach them at"
| >Dahk takes a camera
"Not too keen about going into the unknown, but atleast i'm not alone, i guess."
| "There are inside cameras I have managed to.. Implant to put it that way, and the security can't be too tight from what I know about the owner, but don't overstimate the situation"
| >Forest takes one of the cameras and pins it to her chest.
>She points to herself, then to her eyes, then upwards
| "You've got eyes on the sky? Is that about the drones you mentioned before right?"
>Said J.C looking now at forest
| >cyrus took a camera and attached it to the device on his neck.
I also have drones.
They are pretty much untraceable.
| "You"
>He pointed now at Cyrus
"Drones, perfect, we want as minimal human interaction here, just don't mix them up with the ones of the mute girl, also"
>He looked at the screen then back at Cyrus
"What was the pink vial for? It caught my eye"
| It explodes into sleeping gas.
Unlike the red and blue ones the pink vials are quiet.
>he says while twirling one between his fingers
| Google the perfect hacker, oh its Google hacking you all the time
| >why are you playing Dumb
| (???)
| >>209996
"Perfect, just pefect, non-lethal solutions, now, if everyone could pay attention to the screen, this'll be the location and objective"
>With a movement of hands he placed the screen next to him, currently showing a small map of the area along with pictures of an office and of a small, portable safe
| >Forest has her arms crossed, quietly observing
| >cyrus watches
| "This safe, located at floor 17 of the building contains a nanochip capable of great things in the field of modern augmentation, I strongly recommend that the ones inside bring the safe as a whole, it shouldn't weigh much and if you have to make a run for it I prefer that you do it with a safe than the container of the nanochip"
>He looks now at CN and 'spider'
"We will crack and open it here since it's a digital safe after all.."
| >He points at the map on a building 4 blocks down their current location, then looked at forest
"the office has a glass wall to the east side but the main entrance of the building is at the south, what size Will the sniper choose to cover It's beyond me, but I insist on using non-lethal rounds until told otherwise"
| "That brings me to point three"
>He gives her a cold stare before continuing
"The security of the place relays on technology more than anything, their guards are non-trained civilians and retired cops, but I have caught glimpses of patrolling drones, 360° cameras and motion sensors, among other things.."
| "Well is it runned on a wireless system, not sure what I can do against that since you want me supporting from here."
>CN states
| >>210156
"My fault, I gave the wrong examples.. Can you work from here against the security of the elevators, security doors, wall cameras and, if necessary, the alarm system?"
| >>210595
"Hmm... well simple stuff like that should be doable. Some of that stuff isn't as protected usually."
| >Kou nods
"The only thing I need is for the Geekboy to make me an access, after which I'll try and make the building bend to my will, ever seen a spider in action before?"
>He snickers but then stops and shrugs
"But that's implying we can remotely access it, if its all hardwired offline, nothing much I can do without going in"
| >>210741
"Well there's always the Matrix connection. It's all a matter of finding what you connect to from there."
| "True enough, so, how we proceeding here?"
| "I suppose I hack in their systems, while the infiltrators go in and take the safe. Seems simple enough right?"
| "Simple plan for a simple job"
>J.C clapped his hands together, nodding at everyone
"I will assist you from here, I'll be your eyes from the inside thanks to the cameras I managed to get inside, with help from.. the indirect part of the team I will also have view from the wall cameras as well.. DO NOT relay on our help when inside, we will merely assist while you put your abilities to work"
| "Now, I only really need one person in here with me so"
>He looks at Kou expectantly
"Spider, how much control of the building can you get if you actually go in as you keep saying?"
| >>211225
>Kou smirks
"I can go so far as control the lights, the automatic doors, the cams, data, speakers"
>His eyes look vicious
"I'm talking rigging the whole building, It would become one of my appendages if that makes sense to you"
| >>211225
"I don't mind staying back then."
>CN interjects
"I fear I may just hold the infiltrators back anyways considering I just have a stungun on me."
| >Forest lightly taps her chest twice to draw attention to herself before making a circle with her fingers and bringing it up to her eyes, lookong through the hole
| >Kou looks at Forest before looking at everyone else, his hand rummaging through his hair
"Yeah, yeah drones are nifty. Now, are we getting started or are we waiting again?"
| >Forest shakes her head no and mimics shooting an invisible rifle. Not being able to talk is pretty inconvenient
| >Forest taps her chest again. This is starting to get awkward
| >Kou sighs
"Sounds fine to me"
| "Then Its settled, the two infiltrators plus kou will go in, CN stays here to assist on the hacking and as an extra pair of eyes on the cameras, and forest will give sniper lookout and support"
| >J.C starts handling out wireless earphones to each member
"We will stay communicated at all times and you will make sure to destroy this once the mission is over"
>He hesitated before forest, but passed her a headphone anyway
| "This is not the first nor the last job I'll require the help of a team, so cause a good impression and I won't hesitste to call you before hand next time It's required.."
>He said talking to the group
| >Forest nods and turns to head out towards the back of the store where the levivsn was parked
| >>212365
"Guess I'll get setup then."
>CN puts the earpiece on as his ear as he puts his laptop case on the table.
|
| >Kou flexes
"Yeah, lets go shall we, I hate losing time"
|
| "Let us know when you're there."
>CN says, without looking up from his setup
| >J.C sits by his desk checking on the installed computers
"If anyone has any questions you can make them on the way, we're behind schedule.."
|
| >Kou gives a nod and looks at the infiltrators
"Lets go then"
|

| (Is it going to be in a separate thread or?"
| ( I planned it to be on this same one as it won't affect any specific arc, but if the majority wants a new thread)
| (the momentum on this thread crashed)
>Forest drives the Levivan through a normal road route to find a vantage point facing the building's glass walls
| (Rip)
| (Great thread everyone, you can go home now)

>There's a garage attached to the left of the store, locked as well.
