(IC) - Part 2 - Snatch and Grab

[Jadefox]

"On it Satchel..." Jade walks around to the bumper shrugging off her pack. She opens it and removes the mini welder, lights it and quickly burns off the offending sticker. "It's fixed..." She repacks the welder and re-shoulders he repack as she mounts Firethroat's bike. "Hey Clu, can ya give me a hand with this bike?"

[Kagi]

He Steps out of the Van and onto the pavement, looking a bit nervous being this close to the Muscovite lounge. With a quick glance FT's bike hums to life. Null sheen, Jade. Now let's hop aboard and get this show on the road. I'll be in the back of the Van. I have some prep work to get done while you drive Satchel. Again he hops into the back of the van and makes himself comfortable while he goes VR.
Again the simple, white, hex shaped room flares to life as his meat body slumps in the back of the Van. His usual collection of operating windows open in the air about him. He taps the comm. link ARO key, If anyone needs me just give me a shout over the net.
With that said he begins to go to work. First, he patches the overhead view from the Stormcloud drone to Jade and Satchel. It shows a birds-eye-view of the Pet Factory.
Next, he reviews the recording on the Stormcloud for the last 8 hours at a fast forward speed to save time. He slows down his scan speed every time he sees a man in uniform or a Knight Errant cruiser doing patrols of the outside of the Pet Factory, noting the times.
Finally, his operations windows begins scrolling with incomprehensible numbers and formulas as he reaches past the net and into the resonance, calling up a few sprites.

As the motorcycle comes to life Jade begins to organize the image and text message coming through her link. She sets up the overview of the target area in a secondary window and places it up and to the left of her field of vision and leaves the image slightly transparent. The incoming text field she places in the lower portion of her vision and immediately send out a message meant for Clu but sent to both runners. Clu, if you have it, I need an aerial view of not just the building but the whole area so I can find a place to stash the bike and plot a way across the open ground to the building, that is unless we think it best I just roll up and park in the back to have the bike handy if I need a quick and fast escape? She begins to mentally concentrate on the images she viewed last night of the buildings layout from the security emergency exit plan. Her ability to store anything she's seen as a mental picture helping her to plot her way through the building's duct work.

Satchel tosses his duffle bags in the back and climbs in the driver seat. He takes a minute to get the seat adjusted and ready for drive. "Ok, lets get this show on the road. Next stop PetFactory. Jade, I would see if you can find a spot with in less than a block of the store."

Satchel cranks the van up and heads out of the parking garage and through town, as usual watching out for signs of the Star or Knights. The drive goes quietly and with in few minutes he and Clu are sitting in the parking lot of PetFactory waiting for the mark to arrive.

[Jadefox]

Riding through the neighborhood of the Pet Factory Jade looks for a likely spot to park the bike... a suitable market or store with a full parking lot... a place where the bike won't draw attention if it isn't moved for several hours and within a couple blocks of the target. Finally finding a place that will do, she signals the others... I've left the bike here... she sends a visual image through her cyber eyes and scans the lot for the others to see as well. ...I'm on my way to the target now, heading for the rear then the roof... I'll discard my coveralls in the dumpster behind the Pet Factory... good luck boys and remember as the old ones say... "If you do not enter the tiger's cave, you will not catch its cub." Let's hope this cub is declawed... Jade adjusts her backpack and begins the trek down the street heading for the tiger's den.

[Kagi]

Sorry Jade I can only pull back so far before I start to lose detail. The stormcloud moves like molasses in January. I'm putting together a simple map of the air duct systems and as much of the inside of the lab as the drone has seen from the ducts. Once I'm inside the Pet Factory's mainframe I'll try to find something more detailed for you. I should be able to lead you right to the target. Watch yourself, I haven't locked down a pattern for the outside patrols. His hands move frantically as he continues to work, pulling together all the details.

[Jadefox]

Jade continues on toward the Pet Factory but setting a pace to give Clu time to figure the patrol pattern. Got it Clu...

[Satchel - JD]

Once the van is parked Satchel moves in to the back and sits down for a couple minutes to finish his prep. He double checks all the settings on his ears & eyes, then does a quick test of his wires making sure they kick in and are working correctly.

He then pulls up the feed from the stormcloud and starts looking it over along with Clu, trying to get as much info as he can on the Knight's rounds.

Once he's done with that Satchel starts unpacking his duffel bag and putting his gear on so he's ready as soon as hes needed. Once his gear is loaded he sets up his smart links to the weapons so he can easily switch as needed.

Then he sits back and does his best to relaxe as he watches the live feed from the stormcloud to make sure they have not attracted attention.

[Abschalten]

The Knights seem to make a sweep of the parking lot every couple of hours, staying within the general area (as there's alot of businesses who probably have contracts.) One cruiser stays outside the building, probably from the guard or two that stays on the premises. The patrol car arrives on odd-numbered hour intervals... 9am, 11am, 1am, etc...

Clu's attempts at reaching into the Resonance and drawing upon the denizens there brings forth a Rating 3 Data Sprite (5 tasks) in the guise of a borderless, transparant block of rapidly scrolling text, numbers, and Matrix iconography. The rapid-fire alphanumerics and icons vanish for a moment, long enough for a "?" to appear on the screen, and then the singular character vanishes beneath another torrent of information.

A cruiser is parked outside at this current time. There are a handful of cars in the parking lot. Weather conditions are overcast, but calm, with a slight breeze coming in off the coast.

[Kagi]

By the pattern I'm seeing here guys it looks like that cruiser is due to make a round at about 1pm. That's near our start time for the fireworks, so responce time is going to be quick. Jade I make your ETA to the target to be six minutes at best through the vents. I'd say we can save a lot of time if you drop down from the roof hatch and slot n' run on foot through the corridors. I don't see those doors being a problem I can't deal with, and the alarm should clear a path. Someone gets in your way slot'em with the Narcosquirt. Drop a couple smokes in the vent On my cue and I'll handle the rest. I'll keep a look out for you via the in-house system. Satchel, will watch your back via the eye in the sky. Keep a look out for our Mr. Murray's vehicle for me while I get things locked down, scan?
With a flick of his hand his music program opens again and to his ears alone a driving bass, electronica tunes begins playing setting the mood for him to begin working.
He turns to the data sprite and his icon smiles. "Simon says, wait for me to call you. Your going to be a busy little sprite, but later."
He then turns to his operations window and runs his scan program, tweeking the programs peramiters to show him the nearest wireless communication tower to the Pet Factory, the wireless relay tower that all the local wireless communications will be routed through and sent on. "That's where I'll set up camp. Should be able to re-route all emergency calls in the area for awhile before anyone catches on."

[Satchel - JD]

Satchel listens carefully to the info Clu has been able to put together about the Knights paterns. Damn, I'm almost thinking Jade's idea for a distraction somewhere may not have been a bad idea.

"I got you back Jade." Satchel confirms over the comm link as he continues to watch the building and its surroundings.

As he waits Satchel reviews his load out and makes a few small changes, putting a clip of Gel rounds in FN Har, since he doesn't really want to kill anyone here unless he has to.

[Abschalten]

(Go ahead and proceed with the run.)

There are a few vehicles parked in front of the PetFactory! outlet, but not too many. In fact it looks like it's a rather slow day for them. The single cruiser sits in the lot, the driver's seat manned by a Knight-Errant officer, who looks more bored and idle than he does vigilant.

Kagi finds the various public repeaters he is looking for and manages to tap into the outgoing emergency signals, being that he's got God-level access to the PetFactory! host to begin with.

[Satchel - JD]

"Ok Jade, we got Knight cruiser in the parking lot and the guy is half asleep. See if you can make it to the building and on to the roof before our target arrives. I will let you know if anything changes." Satchel moves to the back of the van where he can watch the Knight out og one eye and the feed from the stormcloud from the other, ready to move out.

[Jadefox]

Subvocally Jade responds, "Got it, give me a second to get out of these coveralls." Jade moves into a covered area behind the building nearest the Pet Factory. She shrugs of her pack and quickly slips out of the coveralls. She pulls her balaclava like hood out and slips it on then settles the pack on her shoulders. "Okay guys I'm going stealthy now. Keep me posted on the knight's activity." She begins moving toward the pet shop wearing her chameleon suit which helps her to blend into the scenery heading toward the rear of the building and avoiding the front parking lot.

Jade is a ghost. She moves with all the right moves, and with just the right speed to keep her light-bending suit from becoming too obvious. Nothing detects her as she moves towards the rear of the building to begin her insertion.

The feed from the Stormcloud shows no new developments. Everything, at this point, is a go.
