Rigged puts the drone down, takes some lint out of a pocket, and drops it on the floor. As the drone scurries over to vacuum it up, he pats it affectionately. This also involves plugging in nearly invisible microcable, granted.

Hack on the Fly: Mark Drone: 18d6t5 7
OVERWATCH IS NOW ACTIVE

Rigged stops patting the drone, unplugging as he does so. He can see the telltale ARO of a musical note on the drone's icon - and that same note on the Host around him. He changes his icon into every boring wageslave he's ever seen and walks in, completely casual, the mark denoting him as Totally Belonging Here.

[ I'm in. Team B, what's your status? ]

Rigged leans back and starts to map a straightforward route to the elevator, denoting cameras along the way and setting them up to be edited as they move. He also begins searching for any data on drone patrol routes.

Matrix Search: Drone Patrol: 10d6t5 3
Basically: how many drones will be between us and the elevator, could we time it to avoid their patrols (and if not, how many drones do I have to hack to send them away). Same with cameras - do I roll to edit once, or do I roll constantly until we leave? Rigged is going to edit the cameras so that we don't show up on them; Fork lets me hit two at once. Matrix Search lets me look up data accessed at least occasionally by legit users while in a Host, so no paydata or company secrets. You don't have to answer all of these, please please please feel free to abstract any of it, hahaha!

Yup. Team B, you're going in through the sewer, right?

HotF defense test: 16d6t5 6

You manage to sleaze your mark on the drone, and by proxy, on the host itself.

The security rotodrones appear to be hidden inside wall compartments, and only released when a security alert is issued. The eyeball drones seem to be running on auto-pilot, and possibly getting a command here and there from an RCC. If you hack that, you can tell them all to do whatever you like. I don't want to roll for every camera, so let's just say that your roll to edit them reflects the average time and effort it took for each one. One roll, no need to complicate it. You don't find any particularly juicy data just lying around, but there are a few heavily encrypted bits here and there that could be worth something, if you were willing to take the risk.

Someone mentioned it awhile back in the ooc thread, but no one followed up. I was just checking. It is an option, though, as the building does have plumbing, and must have a connection to the sewer. Now, whether or not it is large enough for a metahuman to access is a different story, but Capstick would have noticed it during his staking of the sewers.

Cap, if you care, do a quick perception check to see if you noticed a way in.

Rather than continue to nervously spam the group's comm channel with dumb messages, Amalia decides to channel her energy into something more productive. She taps Deck on the shoulder. "I'll be back in a second." She stuffs her hands in her pockets and walks off as if she were merely looking for the restroom. After a cursory check to make sure she wasn't being observed by guards or drones, she heads for the back door to let the rest of the team in when the timing is right.

There was an emergency access hatch down there that may have led into this building, judging by the positioning. It looked pretty solid, probably locked up pretty tight.

Camera defense against Edit: 10d6t5 3

No problem, the cameras are now your bitches.

Mad Dog

The hallway you're in seems pretty deserted. There is a camera, but Rigged Deck should have that under control by now. You make your way to the back, noting a door with what looks like a biometric lock that according to the map, should lead to the basement area. The back door is locked, but from the inside, with a manually controlled lock that is easy enough to punch open. This is probably where deliveries are taken, so security isn't insanely tight.

Niles activates the gecko gloves and attaches himself to the ceiling. Once settled he waits for Clean to follow him in.

Rigged Deck joins the others and starts taking out his ammo.

[ Right, I've been thinking of the plan, and I'm thinking it's a bit too convoluted. Spoofing commlinks that likely are not even connected to the Host, hoping they accept a distraction, setting up camera illusions, and all that...way too much can go wrong. So here's what I'm thinking. We take the elevator up. I mess with their camera so security doesn't see us. And for their communications... ]

He holds up his jammer.

[ It'll be a bit touch and go, but they're not going to say a word to security, and if we're fast I can steal their comms and respond so the Spiders never know the difference. Stick to stun if you can; if we flatline them it might show up on their biometrics, and nothing makes a corp angrier then having to pay for bodies. Corpses cost a lot, you know. ]
