*** GM changes topic to 'The game.... Continues'
<Steel> <<anyone logging>
<Steel> >
<Steel> <<?>>
<GM>  I am.
<Steel> <<Cool, thanks>>
<AngelT> ((I am too))
<Reika> Okay we've decied what gear we need, now we need to decide exactly how we're gonna gain access to the doctor's home then how we're gonne penetrate Fuchi's security
<Shalyta> I think i am!
<GM> Alright...  When we last left off, the 5 of you were in Delancy's making up a list.
* Reika nods
<AngelT> Gamma scopoline...
<Reika> Don't forget to add the DMSO to the list
<Reika> and something to squirt the stuff
* AngelT nods...
<AngelT> Some fairly non-descript clothing... in the event that we need to hide in plain sight.
* Reika nods
<Reika> well actually I was thinking more for the Doctor
<AngelT> Well, if our mission is successful, the "we" would *include* the doctor.
<Reika> true enough
<Reika> though I don't think any of us need to *buy* said clothing
* AngelT shrugs
<AngelT> We might want special outfits that some of us might not have. Ordinary workers... people no one would look at twice.
<Reika> good point
* Shalyta nods.
<Reika> uh, ordinary workers wear sorat heavy clothing don't they?
* Reika shudders at the thought
* AngelT looks at Reika.. then looks again.
<GM> Reminds people it's the middle of Feb.
<AngelT> Aah. Sorry. Forgot.
<Reika> <and Reika is wearing *very* light summerweight clothing and sweating in the bar>
<Tak> You mean I have to dress down?
* AngelT gives Tak a *look*
* Shalyta smiles slightly.
<Reika> Probably *wry*
<AngelT> Would you rather stand out and wave a placard saying "I'm kidnapping a very valuable Fuchi researcher!"?
* Shalyta laughs lightly.
<Shalyta> Could be fun....  *smiles*
* Steel grimaces "Only if I weren't too fond of living"
<Tak> No real want to have more coprs chasing me, thank you so much.
<Reika> We also want to rent a van or something
<AngelT> Why bother? I can 'jack one... 
* AngelT smiles oddly...
<Reika> or obtain one, so that we aren't traced...
<GM> Charlie comes over and delivers another round of drinks to your table...
<Shalyta> Thank you, Charlie.
* AngelT nods her thanks..
* Reika thinks about it
* Steel nods "Thanks"
<Reika> That may be an idea
<GM> He glances at the list o\n the table, rolls his eyes and walks back to the bar.
<Reika> Arigatou Charlie
<Reika> Though we may want to switch the plates on whatever vehicle you ahh "acquire" so that it would be more difficult to trace
<AngelT> Of course..
* AngelT looks slightly injured/insulted..
<GM> It's now 1 am.
<AngelT> ((OOC: drops a pin *CRASH*))
* GM holds a plot anvil up....
<GM> Bueller?
<AngelT> ((OOC: Oh, listen! Crickets!))
<Reika> <uh oh>
* AngelT ((ducks))
<Reika> Umm people how are we going to get this guy again?
<AngelT> ((Snatch the doctor, trank him or whatever that GS stuff does, disable the bodyguard, take him with us to Fuchi in case VAPOR tends to vaporize people who mishandle it.))
<Reika> how though?
<Reika> we need specifics
<Shalyta> What time?  Tomorrow, the day after, three weeks from now....
<AngelT> Should be after he gets home from work tomorrow..
<Reika> okay
* AngelT looks thoughtful
<Shalyta> All right.
<Reika> umm how about right before he enters his apartment or house or whatever?
<AngelT> That should work.. 
<Steel> That sounds like a good idea, the quicker that it can be done, the better
<AngelT> Someone incapacitates the bodyguard, the other sprays the doctor.
<Shalyta> Aye!
<Shalyta> Incapacitates the bodyguard, how?
<Reika> hmm who should take out the bodyguard?
* Steel thinks on that one
<AngelT> One of you mages, or Steel... 
<Steel> I could possibly do that
*** GM is now known as EvilGM
*** EvilGM is now known as GM
<GM> Hmmm?
<AngelT> ((Uh.. what's with the temporary lapse into EvilGMhood?))
<Reika> hmm I could provide a distraction
<GM> ((Never you mind...))
<AngelT> ((Uh. Oh. *s*))
<Reika> <we're in trouble folks>
<Shalyta> ((*looks at GM*))
* AngelT nods
<AngelT> ((Just a bit... ))
* GM looks innocent
<GM> It's a milk run guys...
<Reika> If she's as heavily cybered at metalman over here is, my spells won't work
<Steel> <<We were in trouble the moment we agreed to play ;) >>
<Reika> <<quite true>>
<Reika> << against fuchi?>>
<Reika> <<then again it could be against the azzies *shudder*>>
<AngelT> ((Two words....))
<AngelT> ((Bug. Run.))
<Reika> <AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!>>
<GM> ((Milk.  Many Injuries Lotsa Karma))
<Reika> <<Begins to twitch>>
<Shalyta> So, *how* are we going to incapcitate the bodyguard?  Magic, death, trancs?
<AngelT> If she's that heavily cybered... we do better to let Steel deal with her. Or trank her. *nods*
<Reika> I can create an ice sheet under her feet and an ice wall infront of her
<Reika> I can tell you how heavily cybered she is once I get a good look at her
* AngelT nods
* Reika looks thoughtful
<AngelT> Two plans then.. one for a cybered bodyguard, one for a non. If she's non cybered...
<Reika> I can take her out
<AngelT> If she is cybered, we leave her to Steel?
<Reika> though maybe both Steel and I should hit her, just to be on the safe side
<Reika> cybered or not
<Shalyta> Is there some way to take her out, without her knowing what happened?
<AngelT> Better safe than dead
<Reika> umm
<Steel> So long as she can't do anything, we'll be fine.  Think you can do something to keep her from making any contact or retaliatory actions, Reika?
<Reika> if she's slipping on a sheet of ice it'll be difficult to do anything else, but keep her balance
<AngelT> Blindside her? Take her out FIRST in any case... I suspect the doctor is less able to protect himself, or else he wouldn't need a bodyguard.
* Reika nods
<Steel> Yea, I'd say that's very true
<Shalyta> What are you going to do if she sees you?
<Reika> she won't see me
<AngelT> Take her out, and have... Reika, if you're casting ice spells, can you do that and cover an exit for when the doctor runs?
<Reika> I just need to see her aura
<Steel> Then I'll just have to hope I get her first, won't I?
<Reika> yeah
<Shalyta> Good, that's what I was trying to get at.
<Reika> or at least I can try
* AngelT nods
<Reika> <<Does he live in an apartment building?>>
<GM> Yes.  Top floor.  Penthouse
<AngelT> ((chuckles dryly))
* Reika looks thoughtful
<Reika> <<Does it have alot of windows in the front?>>
<GM> It's 43 floors up... But it has a nice view of the skyline.
<Reika> << no I mean the front of the building on the ground floor, does it have alot of windows?>>
<AngelT> ((That would hurt))
<Reika> <<Windows that a sec guard can see through?>>
<GM> Oh... The bottom floor is a coffee haus, and is mostly open.
* Reika looks even more thoughtful
<GM> It's one of those "I'm so expensive you don't even think of walking near here" cafe
<GM> 's
<AngelT> ((*chuckles*))
<Reika> << Do the apartments have balconies?>>
<GM> Yes, but a small one.
<AngelT> ((How big are the apartments... how many to a floor?))
<GM> You're looking at the maps provided in the folder.
<AngelT> ((That would *really* hurt...))
<GM> The penthouse level has 3 apartments.  The building is designed in a triangle (Architech on acid methinks)
<Shalyta> Maybe someone should go by there before we do the 'napping, and check it out.
<Reika> I will, but I would like Angel to come with me
<AngelT> ((Heh.. you should see what some of the buildings near one of the DCmetro airports look like))
<AngelT> All right.
<Steel> Hmm, Angel, you up to scoping it out ahead of time?
* AngelT shrugs
<AngelT> All right.
<Tak> A nice casual check to verify information is always helpful.
<Steel> <<Erm, that was typed a tad late>>

*** Reika was kicked by GM (GM)
<SylvrFyre> << if you can>>
*** SylvrFyre has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<Shalyta> ((Argh!))
* AngelT takes a closer look at the maps, paying special attention to security and security lapses...
<AngelT> ((Walls? and windows on the walls?))
*** Reika (shergold@as5200-2-12.hgl.ny.frontiernet.net) has joined #shadowrun
*** ChanServ sets mode: +v Reika
<Reika> << uh sorry 'bout that folks>>
<AngelT> ((Nearby rooftops?))
<Reika> <<did I miss anything important?>>
<Shalyta> Not really.
<AngelT> ((Just bugging the GM about the building design. *G*))
<Reika> << 'k thanks>>
<GM> Just past the cafe' is a glassed in enclosure where a security desk is.  Beyond that there's three elevators going up.
<Reika> << ahh, that's fun>>
<GM> The 2nd and 3rd floors are parking levels, and there's another sec desk to get parked. (Valet)
<Shalyta> <<Parking levels?>>
<Reika> <<like a parking garage>>
<GM> Above that are apartments, all pretty much the same on the lower levels but getting bigger and more expensive as the altitude rises
<Shalyta> <<*smiles*  That's good..Parking is good....>>
<Tak> Is this handled by Fuchi security (great for matrix, sucks elsewhere), or an outside firm?
<GM> Outside firm.  This is a private apartment, rented by the corp for the good doctor.
<AngelT> By what firm?
<Reika> << so he's worth a penthouse, huh? he's really valuable then...>>
<GM> (He's worth that much and is that much of a pain to the upper level management)
<Reika> <<heh>>
<AngelT> ((*chuckles*))
<Shalyta> ((laughs))
<GM> Avalon Chase Inc.
<Reika> << how late is the coffee house open?>>
<AngelT> ((GTHOMH! *G*))
<Reika> <<gryns>>
<GM> It's open to midnight.
<Reika> <<very nice>>
* Reika looks very thoughtful
<Reika> I wonder if they've winterized their pipes recently..
* AngelT looks thoughtful, eyes sparkling
<GM> Charlie reaches over and rings a large antique brass bell, "Closing Time!"
* AngelT laughs..
<GM> "Last Call!"
<Reika> uh
<GM> It's now 2 am.
<Reika> hmm
<AngelT> ((Windows and rooftops?))
* AngelT narrows her eyes thoughtfully.
<Reika> I was thinking of maybe going in there, buying an ice coffe, then visiting the ladies room and freezing the water in the pipes...
<AngelT> *chuckles* I was thinking of checking out the bottom levels, and then the nearby walls and rooftops. People rarely look up when it's snowing..
* AngelT tilts her head at Reika
<Reika> I can't make it snow
<Reika> If there's enough water I can freeze it, but making snow is a little out of my depth
<AngelT> But can you put snow at the edges of the rooftops? Or ice? So Lyta can rig charges and make a simulation of snow?
<Reika> Ice yes
<AngelT> I doubt people would look up if there were large icicles falling, either. *smiles faintly*
* Reika glints slightly
* Shalyta smiles.
* Steel grins
<Reika> what I had in mind though was that by causing the pipes to burst in the coffee house it would close early
<Reika> I know people stay afterwards to clean up and that can take a couple of hours sometimes
<AngelT> *nods* That works as well.. it gets bystanders out of the way on the ground so we can bring the doctor out and away.
* Reika nods
<Reika> And I can do it alot easier
<Shalyta> I think that would work better.
<GM> Charlie walks over to you with a bill, and a "Okay guys, it's last call, I've got to close up in 30 minutes"
* Reika sighs
* AngelT nods and looks around the table
<Reika> Is there perhaps another place we can visit to finish our discussions?
<AngelT> If not... when shall we meet at the coffee haus?
<Reika> very well
<Reika> we also need to plan how we're going to penetrate Fuchi's security...
<Tak> Not a good idea to ahve all of us seen together that often.
* AngelT shakes her head
* Reika hmmms
<AngelT> Only me and Reika meet at the coffee haus, I think.
<Reika> yes
<GM> ((OOC Tak's giving me a hand when combat comes around etc)
<Shalyta> Good idea.
<AngelT> ((Any restaurants near the apts/coffehaus?))
<GM> You'll have to go see, that maps didn't cover that.
<AngelT> ((:P))
<Reika> << not a problem>>
<AngelT> When shall we meet?
* AngelT scribbles a last something on a list...
<Reika> 11 Am?
* AngelT nods "All right.."
<Reika> I suggest we go to our respective homes and get some sleep
* AngelT looks at Lyta "Do you have equipment for small charges?"
<Shalyta> I believe so, but I'll double check.  If not, i can get it.
* AngelT nods
<Steel> O.K., when and where are we going to rondevouz(sp?) before picking up the doctor?
<AngelT> All right then, I believe that finishes it for now.. and I agree with Reika.
<AngelT> Hrrm...
*** Reika has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
<AngelT> ((Aaw. hellsfire))
<Shalyta> ((Glares at the Peer!))
<AngelT> ((smites the peer!))
*** Reika (~shergold@as5200-2-12.hgl.ny.frontiernet.net) has joined #shadowrun
*** ChanServ sets mode: +v Reika
<Reika> <<growls>>
<AngelT> Are we picking the doctor up in the penthouse or just outside the building?
<Reika> << that's a good question>>
<Reika> << there's really good security inside the building isn't there?>>
<AngelT> If in the penthouse.. the coffee house. If outside, a couple blocks down..
<AngelT> ((We should do a prelim check, I think))
<GM> The security in the building is moderate.  1 or 2 guards and a panic button.
* Reika nods
* Reika hmms
* Steel finishes up his drink, then waits for the answer to his question
<Reika> <<what question?>>
<Tak> Definintely keep them away from the panic button, since we don't ahve anything to jam it.
<Reika> ye-ah
<AngelT> ((Panic button? causes a lockdown or brings in the cavalry?))
<Reika> <<prolly both>>
<GM> doesn't say
<AngelT> ((Ugh))
<GM> Charlie wanders over.  "Comeon guys. Out."
<Tak> SOrry, I don't happen to keep a copy of the Avalon Chase security handbook handy.
<AngelT> We'll check out the security, then meet back here tomorrow night? Or later tonight, *shrugs* ?
* AngelT nods and pays for her drinks..
<Reika> how about after Angel and I check out the coffe house, say around 1 pm?
<AngelT> All right..
* Shalyta nods. "Here?"
* AngelT nods... re-checks her list.
<Reika> here
* AngelT hands the list over to Charlie...
<Shalyta> All right.
<AngelT> ((Gamma scop, DMSO, hypospray or whatever the equiv is, non-descript workman's clothing))
<Reika> <<yup>>
<GM> The Gamma s is 300 a dose, the squirt is 800.  DMSO is 10 bucks a dose.
* Steel pays for his end, then asks "O.K., when and where are the rest of us going to be waiting? I'd not like to show up late and find out that everything went wrong"
* Reika hmms
<Reika> We're meeting here around 1 pm
<Steel> Hmm?  I thought you were meeting Angel at 1 at the coffee haus?
<Reika> I'm meeting here there at 11 am
<AngelT> 3 doses Gamma (just in case), the squirt, 3 doses DMSO?
<Reika> that sounds about right
* AngelT nods "11.."
<Steel> O.K., got it... I better get going if I want to get enough rest for the day
* AngelT relays it to Charlie..
* AngelT pays her part of the fee...
* Reika pays her part of the fee
<GM> Total will be 1730. Half now, half tomorrow after closing.
* Shalyta pays her part, then stands.
* Steel pays up his portion, then heads for the door "See you later then"
* AngelT stands...
<AngelT> *nods to Reika* till 11, then.
<Reika> <<okay that's 865 per person>>
<Reika> until 11
<Steel> <<hrm?  That's being split amongst 2?  I thought it was the all?  oops>>
<Reika> <<uh nevermind, did a miscalc>>
<Steel> <<346 per>>
<Reika> <<that's it, sorry>>
* Shalyta nods to each. "G'night, 'til tomorrow."
<Reika> g'night
* Reika stands
<Steel> <<np>>
<Reika> If that is it?
<AngelT> I believe so..
<Reika> Then tomorrow morning
* Steel heads out the door, to his car, then heads down the road and gets to his apartment
<AngelT> Tomorrow morning...
* AngelT nods to the rest and leaves for her apartment...
* Reika goes outside and takes the subway home
<GM> Okay....
* Shalyta walks out, gets on her bike and takes a round about way home....
<AngelT> ((*drops an anvil on Tak*))
<GM> Dawn Breaks... *CRASH*
<AngelT> ((*laughter*))
<Reika> <<pokes at Tak>>
* Reika winces
* Tak heads out to his bike.
<Shalyta> ((*Laughter*  I thought that would be "CRACK!"))
<Reika> << so everything passes uneventfully until the next morning?>>
* AngelT stares morosely at her holo (as per routine) before sliding under the covers and taking what amounts to a nap.
