Kalos: ==================
Kalos: The crew formulated a plan to obtain the DNA of the target Lady Struko assigned to them. With this DNA, they will clone an ear, to show as 'proof' that the target was successfully assassinated.
With time to spare, they first staked out the local Court House they'd be sending their target to, and learned of a small gap in security. There are blind spots beneath the hanging cameras, and in a few positions, no other camera looked beneath those blind spots. Making them prime locations for the crew to obtain some DNA of their target without being caught.
Next location was the Targets residence a massive building complex with three points of entry, Bottom, Middle, and Top. The crew went and landed on the middle pad. And with some quick looking under the platform, Keith decided to see what was going on under it.
While he climbed under the structure, Amoni went to investigate the main entrance, finding it purposely left ajar. Not wanting to make it obvious someone had entered the building, she set the door a crack open like it was before.
Around this time, Keith had managed to find a way into the ventilation system, and after successfully crawling through the first few minutes of vent, falls into a large fan duct. And after gathering his bearings, he deactivated the fan and continues to explore.
Meanwhile, Amoni had taken the elevator to the Garage floor in order to find their targets car... only to soon realize their car won't be as easy to locate. They then return to the elevator to go to his floor, planning on asking the neighbors for any useful information...
Kalos: (courtesy of NATE)
Kalos: Keith, you're in a hallway! and Miri and Amoni, which floor do you go to?
Amoni Steeltower: <... Hey Miri. Meet me at the targets floor. I think having two people knock on doors for information would be faster, and maybe also safer>
Amoni Steeltower: Clicks Floor four
Kalos: a very short elevator ride later, both Amoni and Miri arrive in the elevator section of the 4th floor. ... basically the scifi version of http://media.oregonlive.com/front-porch/photo/small-apartments-are-trending-in-portland-cd3bc8574c58c80a.jpg
Amoni Steeltower: "...Right, so he resides in 408..."
Miri: sings a tune whose lyrics sound suspiciously like 'this floor was never modeled or rendered.'
Amoni Steeltower: "I was debating if we want to ask him, directly. Or ask his neighbors. this is assuming he's here."
Miri: "Low profile, Amoni, low profile." She smirks and raises a pair of hitherto-hidden sunglasses to her face: "As low profile as a neon blue sabertooth cyborg and bright pink feline sexpot can be, anyway. There's ways we can check whether he's home without opening the door, right?"
Amoni Steeltower: "Not wrong, no."
Amoni Steeltower: Amoni looks around for cameras as she starts walking down the hall
Amoni Steeltower: (Observation?)
Amoni Steeltower: (Got Infra)
Kalos: (observation)
Kalos: (skill level = ?)
Amoni Steeltower: .ra 11
Pseudobot: <@!Amoni Steeltower> Rolled against 11. Result: [1,1,4] = 6. Margin of Success: 5. Success
Amoni Steeltower: oh wait
Amoni Steeltower: U roll
Amoni Steeltower: derp
Amoni Steeltower: 11
Kalos: There's two in the hallway... as well as a camera on every single door, where the eye-hole/lense would be on a lower-tech situation
Keith: (Meanwhile... <@Kalos> , can Keith's shenanigan's go to <#335962079523504131> ?)
Kalos: Yes
Amoni Steeltower: "Well, we got eyes in the hallway, and each door has a camera as well it seems. Unsurprisingly."
Amoni Steeltower: "So, want to do this as a duo, or knock on doors individually?" Amoni looks a bit concerned for a second "And uh, what exactly would be best to say ya think?"
Amoni Steeltower: "'Taking a survey for what people drive,' Seems goood enough to me."
Miri: "That or we can shoot straight. 'Sir, we're here to inform you your life is in danger. Hypothetically from us.'"
Amoni Steeltower: "Excuse me?"
Miri: "Not in as many words, y'know!"
Amoni Steeltower: "What happened to checking if he's home, without opening the door?"
Miri: "Isn't that what we were doing just now?" Miri raises an eyebrow.
Amoni Steeltower: Amoni gives a timeout "Okay, hang on. We're going to be asking these people what model car they drive, and ask what the person in 408 drives. However, It just occurred to me we may want to ask him directly, assuming hes here."
Keith: <Hey, I am going to the garage to see if I can find his car, so I can tweak it so we can better kidnap him. Just FYI>
Amoni Steeltower: <Ah, alright we're still looking to get details.>
Amoni Steeltower: <... How exactly are you looking for it?...>
Amoni Steeltower: "So, explain why would we tell people their lifes are in danger?..."
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Miri> )
Miri: "...I guess you gotta point there." She shrugs. "So how are we gonna get the goods from him, though? The DNA sample?"
Amoni Steeltower: "Thats later. You heard Keith over the comms right?"
Amoni Steeltower: Switches to sub vocal for Miri
Amoni Steeltower: <We'll get that dna off of him when they get called for Jury duty. Of course, if we so happen to snag something fresh off of him now, I disagree with that.>
Amoni Steeltower: "..Ehm... Just don't expect me to do anything less then savory with that wife beating bastard."
Amoni Steeltower: "So, you want to try knocking on his door first? Or have a chat from the neighbors, try and piece together information from them."
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Miri> )
Keith: <I got the plate.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Excuse me?>
Miri: "...Let's knock on the door."
Keith: <I asked Second Mom for it.>
Keith: <Duh>
Amoni Steeltower: Stands in the hallways, and facepalms. blushing
Amoni Steeltower: <...Right...>
Keith: <Sends QR code over>
Amoni Steeltower: <Well, uh. I guess we'll meet you down there then?>
Keith: <Wait.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Granted, we could try knocking at his door.>
Amoni Steeltower: <See what that brings.>
Keith: <If you wanna dig some info on him...>
Keith: <Like, if he often order takeouts, or something of the sort.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Sure, we'll survey him.>
Amoni Steeltower: "Alright, come on we're talking with the bastard."
Amoni Steeltower: "Put on you're best BS face, and get ready to ask various questions."
Miri: puts on a smug grin like she's about to tell someone she doesn't like he's got jury duty. "How's this?"
Amoni Steeltower: "Heh, that works. But ya, lets try milking out information first. Remember, Runi has called him about the Jury duty."
Kalos: (I think the summons was sent?)
Amoni Steeltower: (was it?)
Kalos: But is for tomorrow)
Amoni Steeltower: (Ah)
Keith: (The summons was sent)
Keith: (For tomorrow)
Amoni Steeltower: (fixed)
Amoni Steeltower: She gets to the door, knocking and applying her best smile
Amoni Steeltower: <Alright, get ready Miri~>
Amoni Steeltower: (Er, whats the name of this building again?)
Amoni Steeltower: (Does it have a name.)
Kalos: Never named this current building. Let's say "Scotia Pillars."
Kalos: (like 'scotia towers... but it connects to the ceiling)
Amoni Steeltower: (Coo)
Miri: <I was born ready.>
Kalos: (oh, you knocked Puri's door, to clarify?)
Amoni Steeltower: (ya)
Amoni Steeltower: (Thats his name?)
Amoni Steeltower: (I've just called him the target. Lol.)
Keith: (Puri is our target)
Amoni Steeltower: (ya, I figured. Just forgot his name. lol)
Kalos: After a few moments, a voice comes on the speakers:
Kalos: "Can I help you?" with the familiar timbre of an avali speaker
Amoni Steeltower: "Hello, are you the paying residence of this apartment?"
Kalos: "... Who are you?" (do you two make any attempt to hide any part of yourselves from the camera?)
Amoni Steeltower: (I stand at the side half face would be seen <@!Miri> ?)
Amoni Steeltower: (Would like Miri to pitch in b4 continuing)
Amoni Steeltower: (Just realised that would be best)
Kalos: (mhm)
Amoni Steeltower: (I got an identity to say, fyi)
Miri: "Hi there! We're here conducting a survey about people's preferred choice in vehicles! All data collected is strictly confidential and non-identifying and will not be used for targeted advertising purposes!" She punctuates the statement with a wink.
Kalos: (I bring up what you hide... because amoni is armed.
Amoni Steeltower: (In backpack!)
Kalos: (power holster equipped.)
Amoni Steeltower: (Unless like)
Amoni Steeltower: (well, ya the holster is equipped, but the guns in the bag)
Kalos: (not in bag on that equipment list...)
Amoni Steeltower: (is it?...)
Amoni Steeltower: (It is! Under Hidden Compartment)
Amoni Steeltower: (Power Holster does use brackets tho)
Amoni Steeltower: (Indicating its purpose)
Kalos: (as for Miri?)
Kalos: (what's equipped or not)
Miri: (ah shit. uh.)
Miri: (well she's not exactly going to the door with gun in hand)
Miri: (but if she's expecting to just go door to door checking apartments)
Miri: (she wouldn't bring anything more than her pistol and baton)
Miri: (could she conceal those reasonably?)
Kalos: (takes a holdout roll)
Miri: (which defaults to?)
Kalos: (better not attempt.)
Amoni Steeltower: Sub Vocals to Miri <Gonna also mention we'll gather other information... to the improvement of the building... I got this!>
Kalos: "No soliciting, thankyou, goodbye."
Amoni Steeltower: "...In addition sir this Surveys information is towards the improvement of Scotia Pillars. As appointed by the owner of the structures... So we will ask a few addition questions beyond the already stated."
Amoni Steeltower: She says this, as he mentions they're leaving
Kalos: "You're sent here by the building owners?" he kind of groans
Amoni Steeltower: "Yes, this survey will be quick and painless, we promise!"
She takes a quick breath
"So, first of all, whats the model and year of your car?"
Miri: <Nice move, Amoni!> Miri radios, genuinely impressed.
Kalos: "Gautico Hoki, 2439" he says.
Amoni Steeltower: "Alright..." Brief pause "...and next how often do you drive it? And to where? We're concerned with more recreational locations, but if you're fine with giving official locations we'll note this down as well."
Kalos: "I hardly drive it. I lend it out to a rideshare service a lot, and they drive it maybe 30 hours a week."
Kalos: "Mainly go for groceries once every two weeks."
Amoni Steeltower: Another pause, some confirming hums "Allllright... and finally... would you care to see the construction or attachments of any recreational locations you may visit, or wish to visit on a more regular basis?"
Amoni Steeltower: <Well, shit. Swabbing the car for DNA won't do now...>
Kalos: "Yea, sure, a grocery shop in the building would be good.. I heard about some others. Better not gouge the prices though or I wouldn't go there either."
Amoni Steeltower: "Right, well thank you for your time sir."
Amoni Steeltower: <well, on the plus side this went way smoother then I thought it would.>
Miri: "Your responses will make Scotia Pillers an even happier place to live!" Miri adds with a wink.
Kalos: there's no response.
Amoni Steeltower: <So, sounds like if he rents his car out he'll likely either take a share ride of his own, or he may just end up driving his car.>
Amoni Steeltower: <We can't reliably swab his car for DNA, meaning we have to get it from him in person.>
Amoni Steeltower: < <@!Keith> You want us to come down and meet you?>
Keith: <Uuuh... Sure. Could use some help. Found his car. But I am getting hell from the cameras.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Uh, sure what level?>
Keith: <I am on the lowest floor, trying to see if I can find a security nexus behind these locked doors. His car, however, is elsewhere.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Well, I wouldn't be surprised if its been rented out then>
Keith: <By elsewhere.>
Amoni Steeltower: <We should still look for it, but from the sounds of it..>
Amoni Steeltower: <Hm?>
Keith: <I meant on another floor.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Oh.>
Keith: <I did say I found it, you dork, heh>
Amoni Steeltower: blushes
Amoni Steeltower: <I'll admit I forgot that.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Also, I got an idea.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Its a risky idea, but one that may work if he drives his car to the Court House.>
Keith: <I'm all ears.>
Amoni Steeltower: <You can stow yourself away in his car, make sure to hide. And with a stun gun knock him out.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Now.>
Amoni Steeltower: <This assumes he hasn't rented the car out to anyone...>
Amoni Steeltower: <Between now and Jury Duty.>
Amoni Steeltower: <But, you're modded out enough, you could last a night in his car and wait for him to arrive. Also small enough to keep hidden when he enters.>
Keith: <I can hold my bladder three times more than normal, sure.>
Amoni Steeltower: <He owns a Gautico Hoki, 2439. Let me see the specifications on that.>
Keith: <Fancy car.>
Keith: <Not a limo, but...>
Kalos: Lambo
Keith: <Shit.>
Amoni Steeltower: (Looking up if it has trunk space, leg room, how big the interior is.)
Keith: <Talk to you later.>
Amoni Steeltower: (Nooks and crannies)
Amoni Steeltower: <Right. Stay safe>
Kalos: (oh, sorry)
Kalos: It has a back trunk front trunk... it even has some nice legroom. It's a two-seater, pretty absurdly spacious for the sacrifice.
Kalos: the seats can even fold and combine into a bed
Amoni Steeltower: (About the trunks.)
Amoni Steeltower: (Can they open up to be accessed from the inside of the car?)
Amoni Steeltower: (Like, fold seat down, and you got a way to grab the stuff in the back trunk)
Kalos: The trunks can both be reached from inside the car.
Kalos: though people complain the front trunk is nearly impossible from inside
Kalos: 'one way trip for anything you put in'
Kalos: <@!Amoni Steeltower>
Amoni Steeltower: (Hi)
Amoni Steeltower: (back)
Amoni Steeltower: (sry, pm'd)
Amoni Steeltower: Soo, btw
Amoni Steeltower: By this time i think both Amoni and Miri are in the garage?...
Miri: (probs?)
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@Kalos> )
Kalos: yep. heading to where?
Kalos: in the garage, that is
Kalos: the car? where keith was at the very bottom?
Amoni Steeltower: (Well, lets try the floor the car is on?)
Amoni Steeltower: (I see no harm in scouting it out...)
Kalos: His car's garage floor is the third one-
Kalos: 'C'
Kalos: easy to find, as his his car now that you saw what it was online
Amoni Steeltower: (OH!)
Amoni Steeltower: (Any reservations?)
Kalos: It's up on the ceiling. reversed grav plate.
Kalos: huh?
Amoni Steeltower: (oh, derp)
Amoni Steeltower: (Miss read that)
Amoni Steeltower: (Since he rents it out for ride share, I thought maybe that was the site)
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Miri> Skills in reagards to unlocking car?)
Amoni Steeltower: (I'm guessing Electronic Operations)
Miri: (yeah i got that at 13)
Amoni Steeltower: (Or Computer)
Amoni Steeltower: ( You'd be best if Electronic)
Amoni Steeltower: <@Kalos>
Keith: <You are in full view of the camera.>
Amoni Steeltower: <back away?>
Keith: <Please walk out so I can do computer magic so nobody can see us at the car.>
Amoni Steeltower: Continues to walk, until they pass the cameras view
Amoni Steeltower: <Let us know when you're good>
Keith: <Will do.>
Kalos: you get out of view soon. Unlocking the car is EO: security or a penalized computer operations
Amoni Steeltower: (Will taking our time help?)
Amoni Steeltower: (My Comp Op is 12)
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Miri> Yours?)
Miri: (14!)
Amoni Steeltower: (eh! Now to see if taking forever will help)
Keith: (Hey, just waiting Kalos to respond)
Keith: (So I can give you the OK)
Kalos: and yes, taking extra time will help
Kalos: base time 5 minutes.
Amoni Steeltower: (Alright, so whats the Penalty?)
Keith: <And the cyclops is looking away. For 6 hours.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Good, we can take our sweet time then.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Miri, you worked with Keith in the police detail? I think you may know a bit more about hacking into a car then I would>
Kalos: (penalty is... -2)
Amoni Steeltower: (Lets go with a +3 then)
Amoni Steeltower: (So Miris rolling 15)
Kalos: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ickis-oblina-show/images/3/32/30_minutes_later.png/revision/latest?cb=20160104075206
Amoni Steeltower: (Sweet)
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@Miri> roll away~)
Miri: <Got this, babe.>
Miri: !g 15
DiscoDude: <@Miri> rolled 8 (degree 7; success)
Amoni Steeltower: (Nice)
Kalos: the car, thinking you're its proper owner,
Miri: <Like playin' Candy Crush.>
Kalos: unlocks
Amoni Steeltower: (now, since we have the time to do this, lets explore the car a bit)
Kalos: THe interior currently is in 'bed mode' as mentioned before. It's actually very clean, and absent of nearly any personal marks, though shows some sign of use
Kalos: it is afterall, also used by a ridesharing service.
Amoni Steeltower: (uuhh... bed mode?)
Amoni Steeltower: (Hmm.)
Kalos: It has a back trunk front trunk... it even has some nice legroom. It's a two-seater, pretty absurdly spacious for the sacrifice.(edited) the seats can even fold and combine into a bed
Amoni Steeltower: (nono)
Amoni Steeltower: (I recall that)
Amoni Steeltower: (Just, why is it left in bed mode)
Amoni Steeltower: "...Odd, wonder why someone left it in bed mode."
Amoni Steeltower: "Anyways, I wana see the back of the car... whats this trunk like."
Amoni Steeltower: Crawls in
Miri: "Maybe someone had some fun on the back seat. Er, front seat. Whichever one this counts as now."
Kalos: trunk: empty, except for some stuff that comes with every vehicle: emergency medical supplies in a small bag, for example
Kalos: spare parts and tools
Amoni Steeltower: "yaaa... not particularly looking forward to seeing if that's the case."
Amoni Steeltower: (I can send a feed of what i'm seeing to Keith right?)
Keith: <Going to meet up with you guys.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Alright... looking through the car right now.>
Kalos: (yea)
Amoni Steeltower: "hey, Miri, pop the front trunk?"
Amoni Steeltower: Sends feed <Also, you can see this right? You think you could fit in here?>
Kalos: (definitely)
Amoni Steeltower: <Gonna reset the seats... see if theres a gap you can sneak your hand through...>
Amoni Steeltower: Goes to find the seat lever
Keith: <Nvm, just got access to the supply closet.>
Amoni Steeltower: <oh, okay.>
Kalos: there's a seat button
Kalos: and after a moment, the memory-fabric like a biosuit, reshapes, splitting,
Kalos: and becomes two very comfy seats
Kalos: there's even foldable tables
Keith: <okay, I got electrian tools and mechanic tools.>
Keith: <Coming to meet you guys.>
Amoni Steeltower: <Uh, sure ya. Alright... wow...>
Amoni Steeltower: Nods at the fancy car
Kalos: Keith arrives!
Amoni Steeltower: Not bad, not bad,
Kalos: looking very like a official-ish repair binturong
Amoni Steeltower: ( what did <@!Miri> find in the front trunk?)
Kalos: now with two toolboxes.
Kalos: (yes, miri found it... if she's around)
Miri: (i'm here, what's up)
Miri: (what was i supposed to find up there)
Amoni Steeltower: (Just wanting to know whats in there)
Amoni Steeltower: (Whats within mystery trunk front)
Miri: pops the front trunk and looks inside.
Kalos: -completely- empty.
Kalos: half the size of the back trunk
Miri: pats around inside, just in case there's something like a hidden compartment or maybe a concealing sheet of biosuit-type material.
Kalos: whats your search?
Miri: (14 😉 )
Keith: "Wazzup homies? Who is ready for some hacking and slashing and some wacking? Let's turn this ride into our slaaave! So, did your survey figure something out or something?" Keith says, sauntering into the scene, just like Kalos described.
Kalos: no hidden compartments... and you're pretty damn sure you didn't miss one!
Amoni Steeltower: "Well, we got it open. And as said before this car sees a lot of use from other people."
Amoni Steeltower: "So, doubtful we'll get accurate data by swabbing it."
Keith: "What do you mean other people?"
Amoni Steeltower: Looks to you "Remember? I said he rented out the car for others."
Miri: "Yeah, if we swab it and try to grow a couple of ears from it, we're...probably gonna get mutant Simpsons-Sanchez ears from it or something."
Keith: "Oooh, he lends his car to the ride-share system..."
Keith: "I can totally corrupt that program for our nefrarious ends."
Amoni Steeltower: "Leaving another option of, having you stake out in the car trunk and wait for him to enter it."
Amoni Steeltower: "Well, corrupt it for both sides. No one can rent this car, and he's forced to ride this there."
Kalos: well, you have hacked the car's computer... you can make it quit out of the rideshare system
Amoni Steeltower: "You simply have to stun him when he gets in the car, then bam. Loads of DNA for us to use!"
Keith: "Lift up safeguards, and do some magic... Figure this car's call ID... And then call it to us, while he's inside."
Amoni Steeltower: "... Thaaat would work too. But we have to make sure he drives his car, not use the ride share. I'm really only saying this as he mentioned he rarely drives it."
Keith: "You know. I can do something very interesting..."
Amoni Steeltower: "Only goes for groceries."
Miri: "I bet you can."
Keith: "Cars are not elegible for ride-share while the owner is using for personal use. So, the program flip between true and false for these statements."
Keith: "I can make it so it does the opposite."
Keith: "Becomes unneligible while unnocupied."
Keith: "And elegible while occupied."
Amoni Steeltower: "That sounds like a plan!" Claps her hands
Keith: "And if we can do something real sneaky... We can keep calling for this car's ID."
Keith: "Once he gets into the car, we can get him to come to us, immediately."
Amoni Steeltower: "Yes, but Keith."
Amoni Steeltower: "We can just, stun him when he gets in the car"
Amoni Steeltower: "We don't need to overcomplicate this."
Keith: "... I'll see about that."
Amoni Steeltower: "Knock him out, get what we need, leave the building, bam."
Keith: "Honestly."
Keith: "Getting out of the building may be a problem."
Keith: "Tennants have the codes for the gates."
Amoni Steeltower: "Ah, well."
Amoni Steeltower: "You know how we got in, right?"
Keith: "I mean. maybe it is a non-issue."
Kalos: the car also* has the gate code
Kalos: it has to be able to leave, afterall
Kalos: to rideshare
Kalos: ========================
