The fuck? You think someone is on to us already? How?

Is there any way we could get an encrypted message to N-Zo to get him to check our comms and see if they're compromised? I wonder if someone may be listening in on us

Jon laughs

Jon to Leland and Al wrote:Shit listen to me! I'll start banging on about commies soon!

Al wrote:You might be right, although it might just be the girl's freaky drugs picking up on Leland. She did look out for us though and we're being far more conspicuous than I'd like. I reckon we get the hell out of here and get a message to N-Zo. Fuck if we're compromised or not, wasting time trying to get a message to him without them knowing just compromises us more, and we don't even know where it is he fucks off to when he does his thing. If we are compromised we need to call in the spoof and get off the net now.

Once we're outside and making our getaway.

Al, to everyone wrote:Guys, we think our comms might be compromised. Anyone who can check for breaches, otherwise stay off the net until we're confirmed clear.

Reckon we should catch up to the others since our only comms now will be in person.

If someone can tell me how to use a Commlink program like Encrypt, I'll bang a message over to N-Zo and see if he can do some more complicated checks.

I also have Analyse and Scan, but I don't remember what they do.
I really need to dropbox the core rule book :/

Al wrote:I was thinking just catch them up, since we know where they're going. That way we don't have to tell them where we're going to be in clear. You're right about the car though. I know the Barrens a bit from my, uh, teenage years, so hopefully it won't be too hard to find them.

You know, I've had a thought. It might be the guys who hired us keeping tabs and making sure we're not making any fuck-ups.

I think you guys just threw a spazz at Joose making up an amusing way of deject not hooking up with the chick.

Frank wrote:If we're compromised then we're compromised and they know our plans as well as we do, probably better given the apparent confusion. If there's information we need to know then it has to be sent.

Al, Jon, you're eyes on the club with N-zo. If you're heading off then go slow toward the address Nik followed the courier to. N-zo will likely join you after he's finished on the club node.

Keep the limo and the sports car away from this shit-hole of a place, bad enough having a big ass shiny van here.

Frank, to Nik, Chopper and Leland in the van wrote:Right, we're here, we're being watched and that place doesn't fit quite right. Leland, you want to check astral, see if anythings twitchy? Nik, get your fliers up please, start scanning the surrounding area. Chopper, we'll wait for the all clear from these guys then me and you are going to have a chat with those stinky bastards over by the oil drum fire.

That's what I thought originally.

The Roadmaster's back doors flick open and both drones shoot into the sky with the buzz of rotor blades slowly fading into the distance. I would use some of the surrounding buildings as cover, or park a little further away, but I think that any activity is going to get us noticed here, quiet or not.

As it is, I'll flick my LEBDs up and look for exits for the building - once I have them flanked, I'll point my cameras between the windows to try and pick any faces peeking out, checking what the noise is. As soon as I get faces, I'll pass them through the built-in recognition software.

I have already made the roll, just waiting for joose.

Al wrote:Fuck, this whole operation is going to shit and we've barely started. I'm not going back into that club now, I'm already itchy about how much attention we might have drawn. I know of another club nearby. That's where I'll be.

Astrally, the whole place is fucking dull. Not suspiciously so, there's just nothing going on. Apart from you and the guys by the fire, there's no life showing up bigger than a rat, no spells, no astral barriers or dodgy looking spirits hanging about, nada.

The building is three floors high, but the drones can only see through the top too floors windows, as the windows on the bottom floor are boarded up. There's not much to see up there: its all empty rooms, dusty floors and bird poop.

You can, however, confirm that there's no other exits to this place. Apart from the front door, the only way in or out is a door round the back that's padlocked from the outside, and covered in weeds and shit. Clearly not been used for many a year.

You also confirm what deject finds: apart from the fellas by the fire, you seem to be the only people here.

Ground floor has single entrance, but I cannot see what's inside. Door padlocked from outside.
Move in and be careful, door should be unlocked by the time you arrive.

I'll toss my dragonfly out of the window and have it fly over to the building's entrance - I'll use its special weaponry (vibro-pincers, I think?) to make two cuts in the padlock's locking bar.

Post by **Joose** » April 8th, 2009, 16:03

Padlock I was talking about was actually on the unusable back door. The front door has an old yale lock on it, on closer inspection it looks like a sturdy kick will "bypass" it.

Post by **deject** » April 8th, 2009, 17:00

Well this place is quieter than my bedroom will be tonight. Frank, you want to lead the way?

I wonder if I call this number if I can set a date with Rosie Palms...

Meeting was 2 suits and 2 thugs chatting, someones been a bad boy and the Suits want him to step back, and have taken steps to make sure it's done. I'm guessin that may be the location of our missing girl

The response made Chopper look like a Vicar in comparison.

Soon as I get a moment, I'll see what I can do about tracking these guys down and you can go hae a talk, still working on the SIN matches this end

Mr Joose, how goes with my contacts searching for someone of her apperance and social habits that I asked about?

Frank wrote:Well, either we've been fed a dicky lead or there's more shit going on here than meets the eye.

Nik, you lock up tight after we're out, don't want anyone sneaking up on you whilst we bumble about an empty hovel.

Right, eyes on stalks gents, I'm not at all happy about what Nik is seeing, because he's seeing fuck all.

Chopper, Leland, you two talk to the tramps, I'm going to walk past them ignoring them and position myself on the back wall next to them, just to watch their movements and spook them a bit. Gimme a few secs then follow up.

Lets go gents.

Grabbing his shotgun Frank jumps out the van and strolls past the tramps toward a wall nearby.

Is this a bad time to admit I don't remember what we're supposed to be doing here at all?

I have no clue what's out here and I'm not going to dig through the thread to figure it out.

Post by **Grimmie** » April 8th, 2009, 20:05

We were given two leads on locations she visits often.
One was the dude who we caught slappin' his meat up, the other was this place.
There must be a good reason for her to visit this place often, and there must be a good reason for someone to want to board the windows up..

Can I try and find an entrance into the building via the upper floors and send my dragonfly down to the ground floor for a little scouting?

Post by **Joose** » April 8th, 2009, 21:14

Certainly can, there's plenty of nooks and crannies for it to scuttle through.
It makes it into the first floor without issue, but there's not much more to see here than there is from outside. You can see a door at the bottom of some stairs, will take you down to the ground floor. You can't open it (too small to operate a doorhandle), but you could make it underneath the door.

Chopper walks up to the tramps. He stands warming his hands for a few all the while looking one tramp dead in the eye.

Chopper wrote:Have I got food round my mouth or something? Only I ask because you seem to be giving me quite a look there, Grizzly Adams. So tell me, what the fuck is your problem?
