Jag nodded at Kachina and the others as they arrived, politely introducing himself in his slight Indian-tinted accent.
It had lost a lot of its edge over the years, Jag having to deliberately lose it due to the difficulties some of the "natives" had in understanding him. His status as an immigrant was bad enough, he didn't need a funny accent on top of it all.
He headed inside with the others, taking in the room's details and finding a spare seat to park his ass on, looking forward to the details of the job-in-hand. It had been a while since he'd had a decent payday and he was ready for a damn good steak dinner.

Silently the kid nodded, taking the chip as he sat it down on the table. Sitting in front of it, he held his hands out, opening the files within the matrix, specifically pulling up images and information of the roads they where about to do the job on. Slowly he took a few moments himself to figuring how he'd plan the attack.

For those looking on the matrix, the kids' cat persona paces back and forth, throwing various ArOs around, seemingly randomly at first, "Ugh.. This is a nightmare. I knew it was gonna be tough but like this, impossible! Look here, look at this." he glances around at those in the room. " I do hope you're all watching this, its important! This guy This guy right here" the cat points at the defense driver. "He's gonna make it a very bad trido! If he pushes a big red shiny button while he's rigged in.. BLAMO! We fail. Game over man! If we kill him...BLAMO! Fail again! We have to somehow force him to disarm the bombs before we disconnect him. I've got paints, but not a no-blamo code!"

The cat grumps, huffing. "Three players, one overwatcher. I can make a simulation for you all if you've got something to jump in, we can practice it for a while. But there isn't anyway of knowing how trigger happy these guys are. Any one of them could just shoot the prisoner. I think there might even be poison gasses in there."

Silence weighted in the room as Carbonel set up the chip on Rolen's Household Display. Augmented images flowed the room but all focuses went on the USPTV. The silenced showed everyone was worried. The task suddenly got much more serious.

She nods at Carbonel's custom ARO. A simulation is a good idea but let's save that once everything else is in place.

It seemed to her the core of the run will rely on Carbonel's skills with the Matrix; and outside the fact she had no clue was really involved, she didn't like putting so much responsibility on the young rookiee.

We'll focus on the impossible task later. For now here is what I think we should do/get:
- Carbonel, I want all the dirt possible on those two security riggers. Where they live, their family, their schedule for the next two weeks, their habits and their friends, you got my point.
- Jag, We are going to need to be very mobile. It's a nice ride you have outside, but you can't play cab for the team, nor can we just depend on only one vehicle. I need you to procure us extra Wheels. Bikes or car, I don't care. Maybe a Pick-up if our cargo happen to be bigger than expected.
- Rolen. We're going to need a lay low once we get the target - and yes we will get him- Hiding in any one of our pad in not acceptable, way too risky. So we need a safehouse, somewhere we can access quickly once we make our escape and not bring any attention on us for a couple days.

I will try to gather info on the PCC team and that mysterious Shaman. Him and the Security Rigger are going to be our biggest Challenge.


She had yet to figure out a way to get to the prisoner, but she would do her part in the team to the best ability: lead them to success.

The cat nods. "Not a problem, I'll start searching everything thing I can on it. Two weeks is plenty of time to find it all. Maybe we could even find something secret about that particular truck thing too."

With that, the cat sits down pulling a book out of his top hat, and opening it, as he starts reading.


Mean while the kid sits down, and begins to slump. A common thing for someone jumping into VR.

Two weeks? not a chance, you got two days.
The kid went slumped and Kachina turned to Jag and Rolen. She whispered: The kid doesn't even have a gun, can anyone of you do something about it? Speaking of, how are we doing with 'Ordnance'?

"Of course, Of course!" he remarks waving a paw. "Two days for as much data as I can uncover about the players, but we've still got twelve days after that too. Shouldn't ever stop looking for information. Though this is very hard already.."

Jag sighed. This task sounded fucking impossible. Unless the guards could be bought off or the vehicle's computer systems comprimised, this was gonna be a non-starter.
Look I've got some ordnance but its gonna be damn hard using it whilst I'm driving. Hopefully It won't come to that.
Whilst you're searching, see if you can find any schematics for the electronics of that class of vehicle. It might give us a weak point we can exploit.
As for other vehicles, I'll see what I can arrange. What funding do we have available or am I just calling in favours here?

Johnson gave us 50k already. I'd say 5k each will cover our rent and expenses for the coming month or so -though that kid seems to be living the life - the rest 30k could be use for getting us what we need and building the team's assets.

The cat perks up a little looking towards Kachina, "Of course, fastest matrix access after all, which is important for my work. Then there is security and the like I tend to find important too. Though, I do have enough to pay for my next month of rent, so I'll be using my funds there for some more sensor equipment probably. Nothing illegal though, but certainly could use some more cameras beyond the few I have with me."

In just about an hour Carbonel has all the publicly available info on the two security riggers - and then some.

The driver turns out to be a true corporate everyman. Henry Waltham, a human male, 34 years old. Full Corporate SIN. An ultimately intermediate record. Married with 2 kids (he would have 1.6 kids if that was possible, just to stay true to the statistics). Lives in Tacoma. Mortgage on the house, the car and his augmentations.

The defense systems operator is somewhat less grey. Markus Noble, a human male, 29 years old. UCAS SIN since 2065 (prior records lost). 8 months in Riot Control, 6 years in the Department of Street Patrol, then he was suddenly assigned to the Fast Response Team in 2071 and received some augmentations. When the Lone Star lost it's contract, he was moved to Department of Parole and Probation, but after some of his charges died under undisclosed circumstances, he was assigned rigger duty in 2074. Divorced in 2071, no kids. Lives in Auburn. Apparently, he has some serious chrome - not all of it rigger-related.

"Ugh this is impossible!" the cat grumps throwing the book he was reading across the room, said book disappearing into a cloud of data. Pulling a bag out he drops a large amount of books onto the table "Inni Mini miny moe!" Randomly he reaches in grabbing a book and opening it.. "Ahah! That always works!" he proudly states, tearing pages out of the book and pasting them in mid air so the others could read them.

"This is a problem. That rigger is trigger happy.. We're probally not going to be able to convince him anything.. But we might be able to do something.. First though, do Andriods dream of electric sheep?" he asks looking to the others.

Jag leafs through the pages of results, swiping a hand at each flickering AR window to palm it over to read the next one.
He pauses for a second, contemplating the two characters presented before him
Ah, see, now this is interesting. Both of these seem pretty vulnerable. I think ve can probably apply a little pressure to their weak spots and perhaps, perhaps, make them co-operate a little...

For more than an hour Kachina went through the different info on the Datachip. All the vehicles details were  too technical for her, outside of knowing getting in won't be easy.
When Carbonel finally came up with info on the Riggers,  she finally saw an opportunity to maybe be able to leverage some sort of cooperation on one of them. However she didn't share Jar's optimism regarding the Security Rigger:
Jag, how do you see our approach be with this Markus Noble? Looks to me like violent and trigger happy individual.
She ignored Carbonel question about androids and sheeps and continued with the planning.

I hope my contact will be able to get some info on the PCC crew. Shamans who work for private security compenies are not that numerous here in Seatte, I hope we can identify who he is exactly and see how to take care of him. I will go to my contact first thing tomorrow morning.

"Well, I'll begin working on the simulator, and what other methods of information I could look for. Give me a few moments, and I'll give you all a mini camera to help. If you all could place them in places you think we could get a good view, that will be a start I think. I could watch for the next few days. Lemme see if there is any public access cameras around that location.."

This time the cat opens up a photo album on his virtual shelf and begins thumbing through it.
