"Accessible, certainly. Doing so without being spotted... very, very difficult. I am in the process of procuring the latest building blue prints, but what I learned from the key maker indicates that the layout is pretty solid and specifically designed to make direct connections very difficult to achieve.
One way I could imagine would be during the bacteria feeding. The magic detector is really just a bunch of FAB with a photo receptor. They need to be fed with a nutrient solution. If you'd manage to poison them, you could get someone concealment spells close enough to do some manipulation."

Yael blows a kiss at Krestov and smiles... his English is terrible but she can totally see a guy like that seducing a prostitute.
She adds, "I am sure special K will be alright, but there is also the magic option there, some spirits can influence people to do their bidding, we can try to plant a subliminal suggestion to the spirit to have the prostitute do something for us while thinking it was her own idea... leave a window open perhaps?

Ofcourse - I do not need to explain to you what happens if it backfires? That poor slitch is never going to feel comfortable within the eyesight of a mage.  Nobody likes to have their private thoughts manipulated like that. Poor bitch...

"Maybe a combination of both plans?

"Use the magic to aid Krestov in seducing the escort, at least guaranteeing that Krestov has some kind of rear guard in case things get hairy."

Flatline had said his piece, and while he needed to clear some things up with Anna, it looked like he wasn't about to be beaten to pulp or tossed out anytime soon.  With the planning in full swing for the next step, it looked like he was going to be playing back-up again, something he was certainly fine with, but that didn't mean he didn't an idea or two.

"Well, if we aren't sure a carrot will work, why don't we try a stick?  We could find some weakness of the escorts' to exploit.  Then we can use that to leverage them into helping us out.  Threats of exposure of some dirty laundry, find someone close and use them to lean on the target, we have a lot more options going that way and minimal risk."

Yael answered Slob "I can do that... It is my favorite spell. Considerably less intrusive and risky. "  to Flatline she said "Levetage also helps, if we can find it in time."

"Just to make sure I got that right. You all are absolutely fine with it to bet our lives, our run, everything on the acting skills and good will - though maybe a bit reinforced - on a whore whose neither a professional shadowrunner nor a lifetime acquaintance of anyone who can at least vouche for her. This is madness! Come on, dudes, you know how this is going to look. We find that hooker, give her a carrot, a stick, a whole goddamn appletree if you want. She'll accept, do the job. Once she's in there, either Zola himself or one of the security mages is gonna Assense her and find a whole lot of nervosity; maybe not enough to be absolutely unfitting for a whore visiting an important CEO, but definitely enough to raise suspicions. She'll be questioned - with or without magic - she'll crack. She'll blow the whistle on us. We'll be done for.
Come on, that can't be our plan. There's just no fucking way that a random slitch will get close to him. This sounds like a bad trid flick, but you make it sound as if you'd actually be ready to do that. I'm not even talking about that you mo-, guys actually suggested seducing a professional hooker. This is something too cheap even for flicks."

Yael smirks "Well honestly I just want to see special K working his magic... 
You raise valid points bnc, but do you have a productive suggestion? Astral sensing is an actual problem for us. Betting all our odds on the CEO being too horny to open his magic eyes, and that none of his security is going to do that to gain some insights of the intentions of the visitor is also... risky."

Mike chimed in: "I did tell you about my contact the talismonger, didn't I? Anyway he sells a preparation that disguises your aura or some such. Maybe one of you mage types could learn that spell - or I could nip over and buy the preparation for one of you.
And another tip: Take your plan in small steps as long as you don't have all the info yet. Guy like Zola, can't imagine him to engender great loyalty with the ladies.

Slobbertooth nodded at Mike's suggestion. His joke had well run it's course by now.

"Sounds good. Besides I don't think we have even confirmed whether Zola is into a ladies of the evening at all."

"I certainly don't mind learning a new spell, especially one as interesting as this sounds." Being able to meaningfully contribute was also important.  "I don't see the danger in even a failed attempt to make use of the escorts, it is not like we need to completely enlighten her to our plans, we don't even need to make face-to-face contact.  What we do need to do is collect some intel and get the lay of the land, so to speak."

Yael looked at Flatline with admiration, "You can actually do that in time? This is quite impressive. So our current plan is to get me laid? while my aura is altered by the spell? I need to study the details, and we will make an experiments to see if that spell can actually fool me. " She said grinning

[spoiler]
What about the spell itself? can assensing reveals that Yael is under the influence of a spell (e.g, if there are wards and things I guess it should prevent her from passing.

"Jesus, mercy..."
She facepalms, then smiles. "Si, we'll get you laid at last. This all is going to be so much more relaxed after you had your fill. Please don't hold back, while you're at it. Maybe it'll relieve us for at least a short while...
Seems like we got a plan. Flatline is going to learn the spell. Kite, Mike and I will craft the sensor. Meanwhile, Kite and I will fly some drones, too. Then Anna will dress up as a hooker, intrude, and scan Zola's sock.
Sounds fair enough for me."

Anna grins "Well, I like stealing things... will enjoy it as much as the sex - just make sure that he is into female hookers yes? and m... do something about the FAB scanners... and we need to make sure that I do not need to cross any wards - as being stuck outside of the house unable to enter will make things difficult."   She then say to bnc "Oh and don't worry... I am a professional... I'll let you watch."

"That sounds like a plan", confirmed Schmitt. "Mike, please see to it that Flatline receives a copy of the spell formula and if possible tutoring soft to speed him along.

As I have no doubt that you, bnc, will want to also take a closer look in the matrix at the escort service, I took the liberty of buying a premium membership account for you, so you don't have to hack the host to enter. Just don't get caught doing something illegal. It's not the highest level fake SIN attached, but all in all the connected identity might come in handy at a later point in time.

For the meat based surveillance: The escort service "Indigo Spheres" resides on level 14 in the Viscount High Rise, Downtown. Secure Zone Type A. Your identities as Meteor's security detail should allow you to bring small handheld weapons with you, just make sure to wear your suits."


Schmitt stood up and nodded towards the team: "I'll be off again to secure a few more pieces of the puzzle. You can get in touch with me through commlink if anything important pops up. Until then... god speed."

True to his word, Schmitt had transferred another ID packet to bnc that contained a paid account to Indigo Spheres which allowed her to request placing a MARK on the R5 Host of Indigo Spheres (A6S5D7F8).

Slobbertooth and Krestov received a visitor pass for the Viscount High Rise, including access to the Spa across from Indigo Spheres' offices.

A few hours later, Mike returned with a Illusion spell formula and a subscription to an online forum for mage's tutoring.

[spoiler]
To learn a spell you need to use your lodge and make a Spellcasting+Intuition test [Lodge Rating]. You need 12/hits days to learn the spell
The online-tutor provides you with 5 bonus dice to this test. Tutoring: 12d6t5 5

The Indigo Sphere's host appears as their name sakes in the matrix. Once inside it looks like a large cafe/bar where you can look at the employees (ladies and gents) for rent and their profiles. There are watchful doves (Patrol ICE) overhead, making sure no one strays into rooms not open for the public - for example the customer database.
