It shifts anxiously, skirting a pool of light on the roof before vanishing. It's definitely Gates.

I don't suppose we have a similar level of active stealth gear, that could let us just sneak in the front? Look for a side/back entrance, maybe a fire escape we can disable the alarm on?

Nah, roof seems fine to me. A. E: Wait, do we actually have wings? We have cooling fins that are vaguely wing-shaped, but that could just be for max surface area. Let's make sure they're actually aerodynamically useful before we throw ourselves off a skyscraper.

There's not much you can see from this angle, but you can definitely scale the facade, seeing as you climbed a skyscraper. Crazycryodude posted:Nah, roof seems fine to me. A. You've got suspiciously wing-y cooling fins and an aerial combat subsystem. You haven't put them to the test yet though... Have Blue fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Sep 23, 2017 |

Deploying the cooling fins is gonna light us up like the sun in the IR, I dunno if I'd use them even if they were aerodynamically sound. If we can make them not radiate and just act as wings, let's jump. If not, time to find another way in. Try extending the wings but leaving the cooling loop off

Try flying, but only a short distance and not off the roof until we have a handle on it; then fly to a building at a different angle to look for an alternative entrance that is on neither the roof nor the front

If we can make them not radiate and just act as wings, let's jump. If not, time to find another way in. You extend your wings(?).  They immediately catch the wind and begin dumping heat. Try as you might you can't cut off the flow of coolant through them, though as your excess heat ebbs they settle into a faint IR glow. MOBILITY: MAX HEAT: 5% AVAILABLE RUNTIMES: 20%

The wind whistles past ... Your wings instinctively snap out and turn your fall into a glide. You take the landing a little too fast and tumble a bit, but are unharmed.

Alright I'm gonna be busy for the rest of the night. Next update ETA tomorrow morning. It looks like A is winning, so I'd like you to write in what kind of distraction you're going to whip up with: 2 arms (meat?) 2 legs (meat?) 1 head (metal) 1 set of armor(?)+helmet (Your clothes are thick and stiff, seemingly reinforced with ballistic weave. There's no kind of tab, logo, or label on any of them.) 1 pistol (loaded, conventional, 6 shots) 2 grenades (one variyield hi-x, one EMP)

That's all fine and good, except we have to give a plausible reason for being there, beyond our actual clause for Gates. Liberating Art and Culture for the masses seems like a good default choice; spewing hateful drek seems more appropriate for a church burning or similar.

As for the bomb threat, why not? Too bad we don't have a briefcase or a bag or some such to 'plant'. The EMP should scramble the 'scanners' in the room, so, we can bluff and say we have a great big bomb that we'll leave behind while cheesing it.

Don't destroy any art, for all we know we're here to steal it Try to EMP surveillance and/or power distribution nodes near the target location at the time. Try to look up their locations in any databases we have access to before we go in. Enter via skylight, beeline to the target location at maximum speed with CQC and ranged combat enabled, aerial disabled, sensors on in case of surprises. On arrival, start waving our gun around and shouting nonsense.
