Guys, I sent Rolen's address not Carbonel's. Kachina's not too crazy into going to secured posh areas with just a R2 Fake ID and no good reasons.

[Elektrycerze3]

Oh... OK, that happens, sorry =) Csjarrat might want to change his post then. The perception result stays in general.

And we are waiting for Number 2 then =)

[Triskavanski]

I'm reading to move on then, provided one of the two I'm with has the ability to give the cat king a ride.

[Number 2]

Yeah, nothing's really special about Rolen's house. Besides the minor explosions every now and then.

Also, Rolen gave Kachina a ride in a taxi. So if the Cat King is coming with, I hope he doesn't have any reservations about closequarters and elbows.

[Csjarrat]

cool, will edit now

EDIT: done. ready to move on when you guys are

[obidancer]

Heads up, I will be traveling tomorrow, back Sunday. No guaranty I'll be able to post.

No worries, have a nice travel =)

Meanwhile others can plan. Remember: you can ask if something is on the chip.

I'm assuming the road the capture would take place is on there. What about the details on who should be on guard duty? or what the vehical would be? The amount of traffic?

[Elektrycerze3]

Yes, the road is there. It is quite straightforward: the on-ramp to I-5 is right next to the prison itself, then it's a straight road to the SeaTac from the off-ramp.

As the Johnson mentioned, there would be:
- Two Lone Star officers in the Black Mariah itself, both in the driver's compartment. One is a dedicated rigger, another is a guard - a defensive system operator - who is jumped into the defensive system;
- Four Lone Star officers in a Lone Star patrol car. All of them are your regular cannonfodder - not a SWAT team or anything. Although it is noted that they will have better armament;
- Four PCC military officers in a Lone Star patrol car. They are underequiped by military standards, more up to the SWAT level. One of them is a shaman, but there is no detailed information on him, not even a name.

The vehicles are:
- Lone Star "Black Mariah" Ultra-Security Prisoner Transport Vehicle (USPTV). Ultra indeed: the prisoner compartment and the driver's compartment are separate, both extensively armored. Both compartments are also environmentally sealed. Slightly lighter armor encloses the engine compartment. Ballistic shrouds protect the two front wheels and the quads in the rear. The tires are runflat. There are two turrets on the sides of the prisoner compartment and the whole vehicle is lined with directional anti-personnel explosives and "stun" explosives approximately on waist level. Moreover, the prisoner compartment itself is rigged with explosives: if the compartment is forced open or a signal comes from the defensive system operator - the prisoner is gone. A Dead Man's Switch triggers the explosive charge in case the defensive system operator is jacked-out without issuing a disarming command. Flash-packs are incorporated into the light bar on top. There is also a gas delivery system in place, usually loaded with Neuro-stun. The car is built on a standard Chrysler-Nissan one-ton truck chassis;
- Patrol cars are your regular (well, not by Seattle standards nowadays, but still) Chrysler-Nissan Journeys.

As the convoy leaves at night only light traffic is expected.

[Csjarrat]

lol. hopefuly we brought a decker?

[Elektrycerze3]

Technically speaking, Carbonel (Triskavanski) is a hacker, but de facto it's a secondary role.

[Triskavanski]

Aye karumba.

Even if I was a full decker that would be crazy difficult. If we don't disarm that, the prisoner is gone. So pretty much simultaneously we need to both get the disarm command, and prevent the defense guy from triggering it.

The explosives, would they only kill the prisoner or would they kill the guys in truck as well? Cause if its possible to cause a mutual destruction there is some opening potential. Or they are zealot oriented and will stop at nothing just to make sure the guy dies if anything goes wrong.

Only CF I have right now are Editor, Resonance Veil, Resonance Spike, transcend Grid and Stitches. I can possibly veil the bomb thing and possibly prevent it, I dunno if that will work though.

[Number 2]

Rolen is pretty decent at disarming explosives, but then again, he has to be in very close proximity to do so.

[Triskavanski]

Yeah. And it'll be very hard to get you in there, as all it takes is just a fraction of a second for the prisoner to become pink mist. I can't brick the defense guy or it explodes. And I can't brick the bombs, or they explode. Even if we managed to get the code into the bombs to disarm them, I don't think it would take too long for them to figure it out and just detonate them anyways.


I forget, how many days away is the prison transfer? Cause here is the first thing I'd like to do... I'd like to run the Editor CF to create a simulation program of the heist, So that if it is a couple of days away, we could try running some of us through a simulation of the heist to try and get our timings down a little bit.

So I'd also need to get weather forecasts for that day too, and what ever other variables I can gather up with a information gathering check.

[Elektrycerze3]

You have two more weeks.

And it is not clear from the chip just how trigger-happy these defensive system operators are. They might explode the prisoner as soon as they hit any pothole, or they might be instructed to detonate the charge only when completely desperate and then with hesitation. That's the purview of legwork.
