Johnson calls you around 8:00 Am on a Tuesday. It’s been only a few days since you and Houdini exterminated The Whitlock Mansion and grounds. Houdini is still in the hospital recovering from his wounds and what minor surgery was involved.

That’s ok though, because Mr. Johnson says that he only needs one man for this one.

Exactly what you’re wearing and driving doesn’t matter for this meeting so let’s skip straight there, shall we?

Johnson’s office looks the same. Apparently he doesn’t clean much but seems to have no problems finding the things he needs. Whatever he has planned for you is already on his desk in front of him in a thick vanilla folder.

“I have a job that’s pretty far out’ve my normal boundaries. None of my proven Runners are willing to travel so far for so little, but I thought I’d ask you before I turned the job down…”

He pulls a thin tablet PC out of the folder in front of him and slides it across the desk to you. “There’s a small facility in the Gulf… It’s located on an offshore island owned by the Confederated American States.”

Aztecnology rents this land and has an underground facility devoted to new technology development. They’ve built something that my client is interested in. If you’re willing to take this run I’ll describe it in detail. I will warn you though You’ll be relying heavily on a Decker to get you in and about and discretion will be the name of this game. Johnson leans back in his chair, Although I’ve worked with him many times and he’s never let me down.

What d’ya say?

"I couldn't help but notice the 'So far for so little' comment. What kind of money we talking here?"

Well, my source is offering 11,000 for this job. Minus my normal 3,000 fee you'll still be making more than your last job. The decker who'll be helping you is on a private payroll for someone who has a personal interest in Aztechnology's dealings.

"Most of my employees have more "seniority" and don't want to travel across the continent for that amount. You're the last person I want to ask before turning the job down."

"But, before you decide, let me explain the deal to you. You're not going in covertly. In two days they're expecting a "Security Expert" to arrive and shake the place up (observe rotations, promote or replace security personnel...). That will be you."

He snickers slightly "Basically, you'll be toughening the place up while you're robbing it."

Johnson pulls out a drawer in his desk and starts rummaging through it "You won't be entirely alone in this. I have something special for you in here if you decide to accept the job... AH! Here it is..."

He then pulls out a small brown box, opens it up, and pulls out a small white case.

"This is a special set of contacts. Only someone with cybereyes can use them, because the electronics in the cyberware powers them and amplifies their signals. They will allow the decker to send you text messages to your left eye, hear you through a mini-microphone in the left, and see what you see."

He then rattles the brown box with his other hand. It sounds like a couple of small devices are still in it "In here is the object of your mission. The system that contains the information that my source needs is on an isolated network, or else the decker could do it himself. He needs you to plant these."

He hands the box to you. Inside are two small USB devices "Those are wireless network adapters. One is to be placed on a PC connected to the matrix, the other on the isolated system. Then the decker can do his thing. Their range should cover the entire compound."

"My source has also offered a 2,000 bonus just for you if Aztechnology doesn't know the theft took place. That means staying and finishing the official job. Which should only take about two days total. It also means not leaving those little buggers behind. He motions his head torwards the box in your hands.

"Go get something to eat and be back here in an hour. I want to give you time to think it over. I know your history and think you'd be good for this job, but you're the last person I ask before turning it down."

First off, I have no security type skills, only thing close I have is Small Unit Tactics (doesn't relate at all really), and Military Theory (only relates somewhat). How bad is this going to hurt my character? Other than that, Aaron returns and replies as follows.

Alright, sounds interesting. You can count me in Johnson. I have a question about the network adapters though. Won't there systems detect anything of the sort being plugged in the moment I insert them into, well, anything?

Side note: After Johnson's response that will, I'm sure, ease Aarons (and my) concerns Aaron will say. . .

"Also, I'm going to need the complete work ups on the whole facility. I need camera layouts, info on personnel, and any other sort of security measures they have. It would also help to get as much info as possible with whoever I'm supposed to be meeting with in the company. If I'm going in as a security advisor, I would have already had this information anyway, and I'm going to need to appear well informed. Either through my own recon, or an associate. I can only assume time is of the essence here, so me actually doing any recon here is out of the question I'm sure. I feel confident that I can assume proper identification for me will be provided also."

"Other than that, I need to meet this decker. My life is going to be in his or her hands, so I need to know I can trust this person. Also, from what your telling me, it sounds like this decker will be able to brief me more on what my exact detail will be in this run."

Aaron stands up from his chair, straightens his suit jacket and tie and then adds: "So as long as this can be provided, when do we start?"

Ghost (9/10/2005 9:07:33 PM): How about getting some work ups of the facility, and meeting this Decker?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:08:25 PM): I'm sorry, he's located in Europe and'll be jacking from there. Your contacts will be sat-linked to him
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:08:45 PM): I'll have him contact you in one day while in route
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:08:47 PM): So no briefing before I go in?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:08:54 PM): Only in route
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:08:53 PM): Ok got it
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:09:35 PM): So are they expecting an unarmed Security CEO, or what?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:10:11 PM): Yes, but I doubt they'll frisk you, so you do what's in your interest
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:11:37 PM): Alright then. Aaron's equipment will be his swank ass suit, his trusty .45's minus silencers, a briefcase containing standard essentials for an overnighter, and his skull suit.
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:11:52 PM): Ok
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:11:54 PM): .

GM -- (9/10/2005 9:12:53 PM): You get home from the meeting and there is already a message on your vidphone. No image, just a voice
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:13:06 PM): what's it say?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:14:14 PM): This is Flasher. I'll be your assistance in the compound. Please put your contacts in over old Texas tomorrow while in route. We'll get to know each other then. I'll be waiting
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:14:33 PM): Then it clicks off.
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:14:49 PM): Your plane leaves tomorrow morning
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:15:50 PM): You have time to shop before hand, need anything
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:16:07 PM): umm, nope
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:16:10 PM): not for this run
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:16:16 PM): He'll give it to you when you are in contact

GM -- (9/10/2005 9:17:36 PM): You insert your contacts and wait
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:18:05 PM): About ten minutes later a small corner of your vision flickers and then you see a cursor
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:18:16 PM): all right, here we go
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:18:20 PM): Go to the bathroom, I'll wait
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:18:30 PM): pardon?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:19:10 PM): Don't talk too loud, Go to the bathroom so you don't look like a crazed passenger
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:19:38 PM): Ok
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:19:45 PM): now in the can
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:19:59 PM): Sorry I didn't leave a longer message before
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:20:09 PM): I don't like leaving recordings
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:20:17 PM): I can understand
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:20:25 PM): You're probably wondering the details of the compound
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:20:34 PM): Here, hold on...
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:20:35 PM): Of course
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:21:20 PM): The screen flickers and then an image fills your left view, overlaying the rest of the bathroom

Ghost (9/10/2005 9:22:15 PM): That's a big compound
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:22:32 PM): This is what I've gotten from hacking the facility so far.
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:22:54 PM): There's an elevator shaft that connects the 3 main floors
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:23:37 PM): The lowest floor has a separate shaft and no information on it exists in my reach
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:23:42 PM): The main shaft in the middle?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:24:02 PM): yes, the smaller shafts are air shafts
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:24:08 PM): copy
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:24:28 PM): The green level is level 1
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:24:55 PM): offices, server room, and lunch room
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:25:52 PM): level 2...
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:26:03 PM): contains a small factory
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:26:22 PM): they're manufacturing special vehicles their.
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:26:38 PM): must be a large elevator
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:26:44 PM): Nope, The part to the far left is a dock for loading a sub that appears once a week
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:27:09 PM): Nothing is seen from above, and it's done in secret
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:28:08 PM): level 3 is the red level
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:28:43 PM): It's a clean room (entirely). Computer manufacturing and programming is done here
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:28:48 PM): ok
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:28:55 PM): Sounds like the money spot
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:31:32 PM): The lowest level has no designation. You'll have to see it for yourself if need be
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:31:48 PM): As long as they allow me access 
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:32:19 PM): If not, get there if you have to....
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:32:10 PM): What kind of electronic security measures is already in place here?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:32:23 PM): Let me see...
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:32:43 PM): Security is as follows
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:33:09 PM): Normal cameras throughout structure
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:33:16 PM): One Decker on staff
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:33:29 PM): Normal vision on cameras? 
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:34:17 PM): No night or heat vision. Lights are always on
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:34:29 PM): Probably costs a fortune
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:33:34 PM): At least two guards per level except 3 (only one)
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:33:53 PM): No security on black level (but palm access required)
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:34:29 PM): Where is power supplied from?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:35:04 PM): Off sight. In the middle of the island and public grid
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:35:14 PM): There is a backup generator in the factory
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:35:19 PM): Wow, hooked up to the public grid, surprising
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:35:35 PM): If not it'd probably get government attention
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:36:17 PM): The air shafts are accessible, but the topside grates are locked and sensor equipped; magnetic I think
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:36:41 PM): Copy magnetic sensor
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:36:49 PM): pretty ancient tech here 
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:37:15 PM): Well they'd be pretty hard to get to... Listen to this…
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:37:24 PM): Outer security:
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:38:47 PM): Radar on three ocean sides, normal/night vision cameras on land side, pal scanner entry to building and elevator shafts, sonar for ocean side, 2 trained Fenrir's released on grounds at night 
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:39:47 PM): Don't want to tangle with that on the way out 
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:36:02 PM): So what kind of gear do these guards have?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:36:53 PM): let me check
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:40:53 PM): That's why we're sneaking you in legit like... Guards have fechetti pistols but are instructed not to use them in sensitive areas.
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:41:09 PM): that's a bit of a relief
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:41:14 PM): I'll keep it cool though
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:41:38 PM): Each is equipped to contact the other in an instant though. You'll be equipped also as a stand-in
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:41:57 PM): Guard?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:42:10 PM): You'll prob be handed a transceiver on entry. The officer in charge will meet you at the airport
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:42:28 PM): Am I going in as an advisor here, or a stand in?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:42:59 PM): You'll be meeting everybody. They'll expect you to pretty much take charge with suggestions once you learn the area and review the security records
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:43:06 PM): Nice
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:43:33 PM): They'll expect you to learn their jobs the best you can, but not really DO them
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:43:36 PM): I'll do my best to make it believable
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:43:45 PM): a real hard-core security expert prick
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:44:26 PM): So, what's my name, and company I'm with here?
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:46:08 PM): you're going in with Lonestar... You need no records, because Aztechnology doesn't run the risk of leaving records lying around here. Your name is just "Barry Tunes" It's fake and they know that. They never had the real guy's name either
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:46:38 PM): damn, Barry Tunes?
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:46:40 PM): damn
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:46:49 PM): I need to let you go, you'll be landing in an hour, here's picture of the guard in charge...
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:47:04 PM): copy
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:47:10 PM): The image of a security camera fills your left view
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:48:04 PM): It's live, and you realize that Flasher must've been jacked in there the whole time
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:48:19 PM): Nice
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:48:37 PM): this is gonna be real handy Decker
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:48:47 PM): One man is setting behind a desk, feet up, and slowly picking his nose while reading the paper
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:48:58 PM): He'll be meeting you in an hour
Ghost (9/10/2005 9:49:14 PM): Copy that
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:49:19 PM):  Contacts are off
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:49:37 PM): You land shortly after that (an hour anyway)
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:50:16 PM): You recognize the "nose picker" right away. He's holding a sign the says "Barry Tunes"
GM -- (9/10/2005 9:59:53 PM): The "Nose picker's name is really Sam. He appears to be a nice guy and seems to start kissing butt right away (offering lunch alone the way and such. He drives you out've the airport in a nice lexas.
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:00:48 PM): The island is only about 30 minutes from he airport and the compound is pretty small from the outside
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:00:49 PM): Nah, I'll pass
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:00:54 PM): I ate on the plane thanks
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:02:16 PM): As you can see on the pict, the top is only a small shack. From the outside it appears pretty beaten up and old. All except for a palm reader on the main door
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:02:38 PM): Barry, Please place your palm there
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:03:12 PM): Aaron says nothing and complies
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:04:39 PM): The palm reader flashes red and an alarm goes off. The doors quickly slides open sideways and there's a troll in a suit standing behind it. He has a pistol on his belt but not drawn,
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:04:57 PM): He looks and you and then Sam... Then he just grunts
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:05:16 PM): This is Charles. He mans the shack
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:05:44 PM): what kind of gear is he wearing
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:06:26 PM): Nothing but that pistol. And truthfully, to you, it seems too small for his big hands. Just a suit over that, like a business suit
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:07:34 PM): looking at Sam This doesn't seem a little conspicuous?
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:07:52 PM): Troll in a suit, in a beat up shack?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:09:31 PM): Well, he never comes out unless someone tries to get in. He has to intersect anyone prying around and scare them off. Bob won't let us wear normal clothes on duty. You'll meet him soon; he's the officer in charge (my boss)
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:09:47 PM): Gottcha
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:10:09 PM): I think it's silly too... Hey Charles, tell him about your gun
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:10:23 PM): This little thing?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:10:37 PM): he points to the pistol on his belt
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:11:16 PM): Don't need the damn thing, can't even put my finger in the trigger. Never needed, it never will 
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:11:38 PM): That's some strategic planning there
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:11:35 PM): he points to a hole in the outer wall
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:12:05 PM): that's what happened to the last guy to come sneakin 'round here
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:12:21 PM): Charles then turns and walks back inside
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:12:39 PM): After you Barry
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:12:45 PM): Thanks
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:13:17 PM): Inside is just a desk for Charles and an elevator shaft
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:13:29 PM): Another palm scanner sets next to it
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:13:36 PM): Let me this time
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:13:57 PM): Sam presses his palm on it and the elevator opens
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:14:07 PM): Lets go meet Bob
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:14:19 PM): what size a guy is Sam?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:14:49 PM): About your size, but with a larger gut 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:15:25 PM): Looks like a trained man who's been stuck with a cushy job for a while 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:16:29 PM): He's clean shaven and muscular, you believe you could take him in a straight on fight, but who knows what skills he really has
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:16:56 PM): Ahh, the element of surprise is a wonderful thing
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:17:50 PM): The two of you are now in elevator heading towards the first level. There is no elevator music
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:17:58 PM): ...
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:18:18 PM): The door opens on level 1
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:18:31 PM): Here we are...
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:19:02 PM): To the left is the main security office, past the on the left is the officers office. That's where we're going
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:19:16 PM): Let's go meet Bob
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:20:10 PM): You walk in to the second room on the left. The doors open but Sam knocks on it anyway
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:21:42 PM): You quickly scan the room. There are 2 desks. One has who you assume is Bob behind it (small, armed, suited like the rest, and balding) He looks slightly tough beside that. You believe he's seen more than he shows
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:22:17 PM): The other desk has a Decker behind it. His head is down and he appears to be jacked in.
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:23:08 PM): The wall to the left is covered with monitors, some show real images, others appear to show images of the matrix, or possibly their own  system
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:23:17 PM): Bob stands up
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:23:34 PM): extending my hand
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:24:01 PM): Come in, you must be Barry. He walks over and takes your hand. Here to help us out I hear
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:24:28 PM): As long as you want to be helped. That is said smiling
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:25:44 PM): Good, good. I hope Sam has treated you well. Please go to the break room and help yourself. Sam will take you. Then you can get started with your tour. After that I'd like to sit with you and review out records
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:25:53 PM): I'll spare you that crap
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:26:13 PM): <--copy that
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:26:16 PM): Sam gives you a tour of the first two levels
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:27:04 PM): So Sam, are these palm readers the only biometrics this facility has?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:27:24 PM): Level 1 is quite boring nothing really there at all except a few offices, two break rooms and the Fenrir Wolf cages (they're asleep)
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:27:48 PM): <--can't remember what the fuck a fenrir is 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:28:08 PM): Big magical Wolf 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:28:19 PM): very mean, but kinda trainable
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:28:27 PM): <--copy magic wolf
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:27:51 PM): Yes, we're hoping for DNA readers, but are still waiting
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:28:12 PM): Hell, retinal scanners would be a step up from these Sam
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:28:56 PM): Yea, but most of our scientist and guards have cyber eyes
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:29:13 PM): Most high-end scanners can read those too
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:29:27 PM): Even Cyber eyes will have distinct differences
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:29:33 PM): Your eye's could easily copied because of the circuit layout 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:30:20 PM): Bob believes DNA reader are better (he shrugs) you'd have to discuss that with him
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:29:56 PM): Well, at the least, do these palm readers detect stress?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:31:10 PM): I'm partial to pulse scanners myself, they'd also let you see the stress level of the people too
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:31:33 PM): Yeah, that is a problem with most palm readers
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:31:38 PM): hence my question 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:31:32 PM): Frankly, Charles hasn't failed us yet either
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:31:58 PM): laughing I bet not
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:32:18 PM): Level 2 is a bit more interesting
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:32:30 PM): Can't wait to see it
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:33:43 PM): Sam guides you around and shows you the security features (just the cameras I've discussed before). But the main factory is filled with machines that are building a variety of normal vehicles...
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:34:30 PM): Underground factory to build these?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:34:31 PM): A few Banshees and a two Hornet copters sit in the corner. Two hornets or in the middle on construction
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:34:44 PM): Yea, they're special somehow 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:35:10 PM): They don't need drivers, and are linked to some computer somewhere 
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:35:23 PM): Nice
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:35:01 PM): That's not why I'm here, so I'll just take your word for it Sam
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:35:32 PM): Ok, let's go to the staging area and airlock
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:35:40 PM): Right behind you
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:36:37 PM): The staging area is before the airlock, it contains 12 Banshees parked in a row. A large door to your left is closed, but opens to the airlock. Cameras abound
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:37:15 PM): The Airlock also has cameras and sensors to prevent breaches in case someone ever makes it past the sonar
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:37:31 PM): noted
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:37:39 PM): I'm not allowed to open it though, unless there's a sub there
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:37:49 PM): He turns to you
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:38:38 PM): We'll go to level 3 now, but we're not allowed past the main room. Only workers are allowed to the clean room and beyond
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:39:04 PM): Understood
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:39:06 PM): Can you read me?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:39:12 PM): Cough if you can
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:39:48 PM): but how should I make a good evaluation, cough, excuse me, without seeing the whole facility
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:40:13 PM): Good, I'll wait
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:41:03 PM): Like before, you take that up with Bob, I don't wanna get it trouble
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:41:17 PM): Let's go, I'll show you what I can
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:41:40 PM): Alright then, I'm not here to get anybody fired while placing a hand on Sam's shoulder
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:42:15 PM): The two of you make your way to the elevator and start down to level 3
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:42:23 PM): I've been watching the tour
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:42:45 PM): I haven't seen any isolated systems yet, but MAN, that hacker's slow
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:43:01 PM): hasn't been able to even keep up with me LOL!
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:43:22 PM): Take a break after this and we'll evaluate what we've learned
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:43:44 PM): blinks twice, rapidly
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:43:49 PM): The door opens on level 3
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:43:53 PM): Good
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:44:13 PM): So where are we at now Sam?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:44:22 PM): This is level 3, most of the tech stuff goes on here, this is Joey
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:44:49 PM): Joey is a small black guard setting behind a desk by the elevator
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:45:05 PM): dressed like the rest, and looking kind of sleepy
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:45:15 PM): He jumps up to greet you
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:45:16 PM): Hello Joey extends a hand again
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:46:57 PM): Hello sir. I apologize for my eagerness to see a friendly face (he glances at Sam) nobody ever visits me down here and the workers rarely even say so much as "Hi"
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:47:31 PM): Sorry to hear that Joey 
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:47:26 PM): What can I do for you two today?
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:47:42 PM): How about a look around?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:47:50 PM): Sure, why not
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:48:56 PM): Joey walks you around his area. He points out the cameras and points through the glass separating the "foyer" of the level from the rest.
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:49:36 PM): Guess your going to tell me the same as Sam; we can't go down there.
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:49:54 PM): That's the clean room... Unfortunately you can't go there unless allowed. And I can't do that. That's where all the big stuff happens
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:50:18 PM): Bob might let you, but that's up to him
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:50:34 PM): Copy that Joey 
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:50:24 PM): Still not noticing any isolated systems?
GM -- (9/10/2005 10:51:10 PM): You're not, but Flasher will know if he see's it. He ain't talking yet
Ghost (9/10/2005 10:51:35 PM): alrighty

You and Sam take a break. He takes you to the breakroom on level 1. It appears to be the biggest room on that level and there's already a few vanilla folders laying on the table for you to sift through (employee records and a few security reviews).

He leaves you there for a bit while he askes Bob (the Security Sup.) about access to Level 3.

(You're free to look through the files before you continue, but first Flasher signals you.)

"I can't see any isolated Computers yet. There's a few cameras that scan back in level 3, but the IC is too tough. The risk of me tripping a major alarm is too high at this point. Plus there's that other Decker to worry about."

"The displays in the Sec. Supervisor's office might rotate to them. Or better yet, you could keep pestering them for that level 3 access. Hell, you might even find something in those files in front of you."

"I'm gonna review what you've seen so far. I had the audio muted on my side, but if you call my name at a normal speaking level it'll come back online."

Campaign Update: It's going on 6:00 PM, about 92 degrees outside and a nice 68 inside. The Fenrir Wolves will be released in about 2 hours (you can hear them beginning to wake down the hall. The scientists will be leaving for the day in about 1.

Reply to Flasher : "Hey pal, I need to know that once I get you access to one of these terminals that you can insert some sort of bug or virus that will wipe my existence clean from their data bases. I mean a total ghost. No record of me even coming here. You can set a time delay of whatever makes since to you. I just want no record of me being here, copy? Also, if you can, once your in see if you can set up some sort of "loop" on the feeds to these cameras."

After that I want to do a detailed search through the records in front of me. See what I'm up against here and to see if I can find anything of interest (guess that'll be a success roll to see if I happen across something). Then I want to go have a chat with Bob and express my true opinion of the fact that I can't help them without knowing the true extent of their facility.

"Yea, I can wipe out your visit completely if you want. If fact, I have that kind of access now. I can set the cameras on a loop too, but we might want to wait until you make a move because that Decker is still making his rounds in here."

Here's a rundown of the files in front of you:
* There's never been a successful break-in of the facility while charlie was on duty (the troll)
* The only successul break-in was early in the morning before charlie arrived and after the Fenrir Wolves where put in for the day, and the two runners never got past the elevator. Charlies hours were charged after that to coincide with the wolves.
* The Fenrir Wolves have small cyber implants in their necks. The can be tranqulized by remote. Then two of the gaurds on duty bring them in safely.
* The computer system has a history of minor break ins. Multiple backups during the day prevent anything serious from happening.
* There is no record of a system "off the grid". Although there is evidence of an Experimental Mainframe below level 3 that has no connection to "security matters"

(Bob comes in after about an hour. He gives you a transciever like the rest of the team has and says he's gonna allow you access to level 3 for a few minutes just to get the lay of the land. But he's holding the Fenrir Wolves in until you leave so you don't have much time and Joey will guide you around)

(He gives you a set of keys (one for your rental car he got you, and one for a condo to stay in further down the island))

(You can get in anything you might want to know now bud.)

My reply to Flasher: Excellent, lets wipe me clean once I'm out, or whenever you think is the best time. Also, is this a one day job, or am I coming back tomorrow? Also, what is my R.O.E. (Rules of Engagement)? No casualties? Or am I cleared for that, although I'd rather not.

My reply to Bob: Excellent, lets go have a look around level 3 then so I can get a better evaluation of what I'm dealing with here.

After chatting with Bob, and finding out I'm getting an escort around the rest of the facility, I need to find a way to contact Flasher again and ask if he can create a diversion for me (cutting lights, camera's, etc. . .) while I'm alone with Joey. So that I can either install the wireless device, or knock out Joey long enough to do it while he is distracted. Hopefully the first option, I would hate to depend on just convincing Joey he "Slipped and fell".

(Bob leaves you to go down to level 3. Your palm print from earlier will now allow you access to all MAIN levels. You first divert to the restroom before getting to the shaft to be alone for a minute.)

Flasher: "Sure, I can cut the power on any level but The black level. It appears to be isolated with a backup generator. The elevator to it is off the same grid too, I can access the controls, but not cut it's power. Tap your watch and mention the time or something when you want me to. I'll keep an eye out for any PC's that I haven't accessed."

.....

(Joey meets you at the elevator door on level 3. His stuff for the day (magizines, books, handheld game...) is already packed into a small backpack on his desk. You can tell he's all set to go home for the night.)

"I'll show you the area, but I don't want to stay too late. Those wolves freak me out, they're magical you know."

It takes a few minutes for you both to suit up (you'd have to shower and go through decon if you didn't). and Joey guides you through the airlock and long hallway to the working area.

There's a bunch of desks (hightech workbenches really), full of computer equipment, tools, and parts. Joey points out the four security camera's in each corner of the room (but since each workbench has a partition it's easy for you to understand why Flasher couldn't see all the desks), and he talks for a few minutes about protocol and such.

Flasher: "I don't see anything that's even running in this room. It looks like they're building all the electronics for those vehicles in here. It's up to you for the next order of business."

Alright, since your saying there is nothing of interest here. I want to walk around and take a close look at the layout of camera's and desks and such. To look busy, and to maybe see anything. If Joey doesn't show any signs of letting me go to the next level, it's time to point to the watch and cut the lights. At which point, while Joey is distracted I'm going to give the signal to cut the lights.

NOTE: AT THIS POINT, IF NOTHING HAS GONE THIS WAY YET, LET ME KNOW. CAUSE I'LL HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT I HAVE DONE.

Now, assuming things have gone this way, and the lights have been cut without problem. Once the lights are out. . .

Ghost: "What the Hell?"

Joey: Hopefully predicted sort of response

Ghost: "I can't see a thing, can you?" If he responds with a no, then move to the next step. If he can, I'll stop here.

Using stealth, I want to approach him from the rear and give him one of these (see pic below)

Only no Knife! The here is to knock him off balance with the foot to the back of the knee, then all in one motion grab his arm and back of his head all at once and SLAM it into the nearest wall/desk/doorjamb hopefully knocking him out cold. Then radio that Joey is down and give a standard full report. Stop here if all has not gone to plan, proceed if it has.

Radio Flasher and have him cut the lights and power everywhere. Including all other elevators I realize the lower level cameras will still be on, but at least there monitors won't. Then have flasher call me the elevator so I can take a look around, I need to be fast. I want to be back before anybody arrives and Joey wakes up. Also, if there are any lab coats around, I need to grab one. If all goes as planned I want to have one on and have Flasher tap into the Camera's on the Black Level once he has full access due to the network adapter, and get a shot of me (the suspect) leaving the black level with the labcoat on. This will be used in my plan to point the finger back at themselves.

Hopefully all has gone to plan and I can be the one waking Joey back up and telling him what happened.

(Ah, so it begins...)

(You start strolling around. With almost every station to come Joey mentions whether the camera can see that person, what their mannerisms are, and embarrassing things that they've done thinking that no one was looking. Flasher dosn't relay anything so you guess he hasn't seen anything, either have you.

You realize that Joey has no interest in showing you the lowest level.

Guess it's time to start your plan...

(You tap your watch and yawn... )

Ghost: "I've seen enough here, let's get some sleep."

Joey: "Yes sir, though you'd never..." (Lights click off) "...ask..."

(You here a click and some static)

"Hey Bob, the power's off down here. See what Circuit can do"

Ghost: "What the Hell?"

Joey: "Circuit's our decker, he'll try to get the power back on."

Ghost: "I can't see a thing, can you?"

Joey: "Nope, The lights should be back on in a sec though"

(Joey's out with a thump. Bob hasn't responded yet, but you figure he's talking to his decker on the phone about now (he can prob dial in from home.))

SWEET! So far so good. Right off, I need to contact Flasher about killing power to the rest of the Facility, especially the monitoring station, and the elevator to this level, so they can't see anything else I do, or make their way to us. Then proceed with the calling of the other elevator and getting a lab coat if available (you know, that whole plan). Then if/when Bob responds I need to respond in a manner as though I can't see a thing and that Joey is down. . . "I believe he tripped, I have found him, he has a pulse and is breathing normally" type of shit. Then I need to keep in contact the whole time as if I'm not leaving his side. Above all, time is of the essence. Also, if I need a palm print to get in the other one, I'll just use Joey's. Then hopefully have Flasher wipe that clean from the data banks along with any other record of that elevator even moving.

Killing power is easy, killing it before Bob had a chance to call his decker is a different matter.

Oh well, we'll let Flasher deal with that

(There are no labcoats in the clean room. They're all in the staging area behind you. Besides, you'll already wearing that bio suit you and Joey put on when you entered)

Bob over radio: "Power just went out up here, phones too. The both of you just sit tight. I have to go protocol real quick and release the kids."

(You can only assume he means the Wolves, They must release them if the other security measures are compremised. Luckily he made no request of Joey.)

Flasher: "The other decker has just logged in. I scrambled some codes to slow him down, but he'll have the power up eventually."

(The lowest level elevator opens)

Flasher: "Hurry, and I'll try my best to to slow him down."

(You ride the elevator down to it's only other stop. Flasher dosn't know of anything down here. The door opens... )

GM -- (9/28/2005 9:01:20 PM): The room is empty and only half the size of the clean room above
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:01:37 PM): A computer ahead of you to the right is on...
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:01:38 PM): ok cool
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:03:32 PM): Are you still going to call Bob?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:03:37 PM): yes
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:03:57 PM): here's what I'll say . . .
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:04:41 PM): "Bob . . . Joey's down, I think he fell, but I'm not sure. I can't see a damn thing down here!
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:04:51 PM): The phones and such are out up here, keep an eye on him until he wakes up. I'll call an ambulance when we can.
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:05:12 PM): You're breaking up... where are you?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:05:55 PM): I'm looking for . . . wait, I found him. Yeah, he's breathing, but he is out cold.
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:06:05 PM): We're still in the clean room
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:06:19 PM): Oh, ok. Just stay there and don't try to move
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:06:45 PM): No problem
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:06:46 PM): The camera next to the terminal turns and aims at you
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:06:55 PM): Just get these lights back on as soon as you can
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:06:57 PM): The screen flickers
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:07:06 PM): oh shit
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:07:11 PM): The lights on black level are on
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:07:17 PM): Flasher . . . That you?!
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:07:46 PM): Nope, I'm have issues in here, trying to keep that other Decker busy
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:08:16 PM): Hey you do have the monitoring station down right?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:08:37 PM): Yea, everything is out up there, hopefully Bob has a flashlight.
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:09:03 PM): Ok, this must be automating itself then
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:09:11 PM): I'll check it out
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:09:20 PM): <--- proceed to computer
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:09:28 PM): Give me a few minutes to fry this guy. You can look around till then...
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:09:44 PM): ok, cool.
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:10:38 PM): The screen is showing what the camera see's in the top window. (Which is trailing you as you approach). A lower window is blank, and has a flashing curser
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:11:50 PM): <--- can I make a basic skill roll to see if my guy has any idea of what to do?

GM -- (9/28/2005 9:12:19 PM): No computer skill... Int vrs 4
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:12:45 PM): you wanna roll or me?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:12:56 PM): oh, you roll
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:13:03 PM): sorry, I closed shadowrun file
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:13:18 PM): I'm going to open it back up now though
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:13:42 PM): 1 success. Barely made it
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:13:49 PM): cool
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:13:57 PM): so what did I figure out or do?

GM -- (9/28/2005 9:15:15 PM): You think you should tamper with commands (see if it's on the network)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:15:30 PM): aright then, that's what I'll do
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:15:49 PM): <---doesn't know what to type
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:16:17 PM): What are you doing (calm child' like voice)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:16:35 PM): Who is this?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:16:47 PM): Who are you? You're new
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:17:03 PM): Just a service rep.
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:17:11 PM): What's that?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:17:35 PM): Hired by the corporation to check the security of the facility
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:18:05 PM): Oh... You help the "Protectors"
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:18:15 PM): Yeah, that's it.
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:18:29 PM): I assume your referring to the Security guards.
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:18:46 PM): Father has told me about them... I'm supposed to help them soon
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:18:53 PM): I can't wait!
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:18:53 PM): How so?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:19:01 PM): I don't know yet
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:19:14 PM): What is your purpose?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:19:29 PM): To help the Protectors and make Father happy
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:19:48 PM): <---is suddenly reminded of I, Robot
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:20:00 PM): Who is Father?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:20:04 PM): What is his name?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:20:48 PM): Father is his name... He's my father. The others call him Lanslow, I prefer Father
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:21:05 PM): He's taught me much
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:21:10 PM): Much
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:21:14 PM): <--Ghost commits this name to memory
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:21:22 PM): I bet
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:21:33 PM): where is Father?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:22:02 PM): He's not here... The camera scans the room
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:22:40 PM): So what do you do here?
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:22:50 PM): I just wait to help the protectors?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:23:20 PM): I learn from father. Today I learned about "Traffic Laws"
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:23:51 PM): Oh really
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:23:54 PM): "Right of way" Green/Red lights... (He starts blabbering on the subject)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:24:12 PM): That's very interesting
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:24:22 PM): What can you tell me about this room?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:24:46 PM): This is my room
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:24:59 PM): It gets lonely at times
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:25:25 PM): The floors are white
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:31:04 PM): I bet, does anybody visit you daily?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:31:26 PM): Oh yes, Father and his helpers...
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:31:55 PM): What are they working on down here (looking around the room at the um. . .parts)
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:32:19 PM): The protectors of course... I though you helped them too.
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:32:41 PM): Oh yes, I just didn't recognize them in this form
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:32:56 PM): (uh oh, now wondering if those guards are human)

GM -- (9/28/2005 9:33:14 PM): Int vers 3
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:33:18 PM): ...
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:33:23 PM): huh?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:34:08 PM): 3 successes... (You realize that if the guards weren't human, you wouldn't have been able to knock out Joey)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:34:38 PM): (I thought of that, but he could have been faking it. You know, like a goofy Hollywood plot)

Ghost (9/28/2005 9:35:24 PM): I've only helped a few protectors, where do most of them go?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:35:53 PM): I don't know, I've never seen one whole before... 
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:36:05 PM): Oh really
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:36:05 PM): What'd I miss
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:36:28 PM): Sorry it took so long, but he'll have a headache for quite some time

Ghost (9/28/2005 9:41:12 PM): (back to flasher) What are you talking about?!
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:41:32 PM): (Johnson gave you two, one for a pc on the network, one for the isolated one. They're in your char sheet and in the first few emails)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:42:04 PM): (oh, they are? Either way, why would Ghost have them both?)
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:42:36 PM): They only have around a 500' range, you need to plant them both

(Aaron checks Character sheet)

Ghost (9/28/2005 9:44:36 PM): S**t
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:44:40 PM): Ok I got a plan 
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:45:06 PM): Let me install this one and I'll get one into the monitoring station, in the matrix
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:45:13 PM): (assuming that's where it goes)
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:45:40 PM): OK
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:46:18 PM): (to Y.O.) You mind if I plug this into you?
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:46:35 PM): No, I like new things...
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:46:56 PM): Good, it's to help me make sure you'll be ready for your purpose
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:47:09 PM): (plugging it in)
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:47:20 PM): That's neat... 
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:48:12 PM): Yea, the lights flashing steadily on it, once we connect the other card we should have access

GM -- (9/28/2005 9:57:18 PM): (Looks like you're spending the night in paradise, Security boy)
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:57:04 PM): (is the other USB thing in my pocket too then?)
GM -- (9/28/2005 9:57:20 PM): Yep
Ghost (9/28/2005 9:57:31 PM): Good, goes great with my plan

That night in the company condo. Conversation alone with Flasher.

Ghost: "Flasher, I need you to get me name of a false high up contact that would have sent me to this facility. Then I need you to tap the phones in that place so when I give this speech, if they don't believe me, I'll drop this name and tell them to call him. I need any outgoing calls to go to you, who'll have to draw on some sort of acting skills and be that person. My plan is to tell them I'm not there to get info on the security, but I was really sent there on a mole hunt. I'm gonna do all I can to get them to point fingers at themselves and get the attention off of me. I plan on getting that other card installed by telling them that a high level corporate decker that I'm working with has found a significant leak from this facility and I need to install this tracking device to pinpoint it's location, and that I need to retrieve it for DNA analysis. You green?"

Also, to make it look more believable, before heading back, I need to toss a zip-lock baggie and some latex gloves in my pocket for when I get the "evidence".

"I can do that for you. The only name I know up in Aztecnology would be pretty unbelievable if they know him so I'll make sump'n up. The phone deal I can pull too. I have a friend who's itching to crank call Aztecnology."

""I'd also advise cue tips with those baggies. You'll need to wipe the insides of their cheeks for DNA."

"Good luck"

"Thanks for the idea on the q-tips. Also, regarding that computer I came in contact with on the black level. I'm afraid the damn thing is going to rat on me once we're down there. Once I have the other network adapter plugged in, and we're in route to the black level. I need you, if possible, to remove any trace of me clean from that pc before we get there. If it helps, it refers to itself as 'Young One'. If you run into problems just call me in route and I'll stall. Don't worry, I plan on appearing as though I'm in constant communication with someone at this point, so most conversations at that point can be done in front of the security team."
