Pretty much the plan as I understood it.

[Necrogigas]

... the others create a distraction...

Oh, if there's one thing O'Connor's good for, it's causing a distraction.

Okay then, I am in another IRL end of term paper crunch at the moment, so I will expect you three to post what you are doing and I will follow your lead. 

Things to remember:

You are not trying not to get arrested or straight kill anyone, cuz that would be bad.

Icarus can and will do something to disguise himself, but the rest of you have no real ability to do so, so remember you are, literally, palefaces deep in indian country and that with the relatively high profile of your cover story, you will likely be ID'd within the day if things get loud.

The silver lining to this dark cloud, You are hell hounds in a flock of mundane sheep.  Highly skilled trained professionals, and there is very little that anyone in this rinky-dink town can do to you if you don't want them to.

What I was thinking was Ikari would go in and try to do his thing while Fionn worked his Matrix magic. If anything went south, a signal would have been prior decided and Clem and O'Connor could start a distraction in order to either facilitate the pull or to get Ikari out of trouble.

[Crossbow]

Placement of the comms in the cabinet that doubles as a register makes that a problem.  The distraction needs to occur so that it will occupy and draw the attention of anyone at that counter, preferably moving them, but based on Icarus skill, not absolutely necessary.

[Crossbow]

Okay GM is asking the question, because the NPC wouldn't.  Why do you want Icarus to give the signal to start?  He should be avoiding attention, not having folks looking at him, and he is the last to act after Fionn has killed the cameras and the others start the distraction.

This is why I don't like trying to think with both sides of my brain at the same time, MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP WITH THE BRAIN HURTING! 

[RHat]

Fionn's thinking was that we'd want him to be ready to go first.  This is outside of his specialty, so he's not sure if there's a subtle enough signal for it to work.  If Icarus doesn't think it's a good plan, he should probably say so.

Not quite sure if it's worth it to spend the 2 Edge to downgrade the one threading glitch in there...

[HydroRaven]

The logical thing would be for Fionn to signal that things have been taken care of, for Clem and O'Connor to start acting up and then for Ikari to make his move.

[RHat]

I just need to hear from Crossbow before I can post the remainder of the hack.

[Crossbow]

Do yo thing
Sorry, posted that before I checked the other post.  You have to make the call, the glitch could be things you are completely unaware of, so there is no telling

[RHat]

Hm...  Well, alarm wouldn't make very much sense for a Threading test, and it wasn't a critical, so I suppose I'll gamble on it.  It costs me 2 Edge, so it's a pretty serious expense.

Also, edit posted.

[Crossbow]

Hydro, you are really going to make me ask for the translation?

[HydroRaven]

Hahaha, it just means "be careful, omae"

[HydroRaven]

I'm going to need your call on this, Crossbow. Clem just answered "shut up", not sure if this needs a con roll or not.

[RHat]

Is it bad that I just laughed my head off when I read Clem's "inspiration" for the fake fight?
