Searching For Utopia

[Kerr]

Tejón nodded. "Sure. I could send Tucán out on the warehouse floor, look at the window from there. Or he can head through a vent." said Tejón. "He doesn't have any arms so, getting a panel off might be hard. Although he does have a gun which... useful."

[BetaB17]

She tagged at his sleeve, jist a little harder this time "I said scout, the vents, nothing more... Leave the rest to me"

[Pazzi]

Ren listened in silence at the others suggestion. She looked towards Cipher at his suggestion "Are you trying to alert the whole damn area? That's an idea just asking to go wrong" she said to him. "I think our best bet is to let this one" she said nodding to Oni "see if she can get through the vents and plan from there. We can't just go in guns blazing from the get go. That's the kind of plan which will get everyone killed. I can hack whatever we need. I might even be able to try hack their cameras and see what the security is like upstairs" she said to the group.

[Kerr]

Tejón sat down on the floor and opened his attache case. He activated Tucán who flew upwards into the air, he hovered just above Oni's eye level and she could see the rainbow flag painted on his undercarriage.

"Okay, Tucán will follow you. When you get to the vent he'll head inside and I'll tell you what he sees." Tejón tapped his glasses. "Cameras would be good, I'll leave all that to you." He added, agreeing with Ren's suggestion.

[BetaB17]

Oni

She stood up now with a dulled out expression, turning to look at the informant as she pointed off to the first "Vents. Which way?"

[Velvet LeChance]

The Internal pointed out toward the loading bay. "Through dai loading bay: go, eh, go stretpala: straight ahead."

The direction might have been more clear on the map, which suggested that Yuuki need walk in, more-or-less, a straight line through the loading bay and into the room directly across from the one she currently stood in.

"Dai vent..." - vent was pronounced delicately as if she was trying to mimic how Yuuki said it - "... em i backsait kona."

Her had guided Yuuki's attention to the map, pointing at the upper left corner of the room.

"Orait?" She nodded, as if suggesting the assassin do the same.

[BetaB17]

ONI

She listened with a cold idle, before promptly starting a slow pace walk in the necessary direction. Her voice leveled a bit as she passed by Tejon and his toy "Comé comé, time is money" Yuuki really left much sustenance to be desired.

[The SheoDovah]

Cipher

Cipher looked at Ren. "Well, if you were listening then you would know that Téjon would disable the alarms, we [&@%!] up the security staff and make our way from there." He stroked his own chin as he listened to the internal. "I will take guard by the door and anyone that enters will be swiftly disposed off but there is not a clean way through the security station that I can see on account of the size of our team, the lack of vents that are large enough for all of us." He informed the group and started to make his way towards left side of the door leading to the security hub but would check the door's type.

Hidden:

Does the door have a window in? If so, Cipher will alter his action accordingly in next post.

[Kerr]

Tejón got comfortable where he was sitting and took direct control of his drone Tucán. Piloting the helicopter drone he had it follow Oni.

"Nuh uh, busy." said Tejón when Cipher said he'd do hacking. "Just stay put." Tejón didn't even look up, instead remaining focus on what he was doing.

Hidden:

Toy? Toy?

Pfft, don't talk to me or my son ever again.

[Velvet LeChance]

Yuuki

The noise emanating from the machines operating in the loading bay cut the need for much stealth on her movement between the two office-spaces. The door into the space she headed toward had been conveniently left open, and with Tucán in tow, she had no issue entering. The space, she would find, was crammed with desks, high-rise partitions separated each desk-space. In the center of the room was a cylindrical meeting space, large enough for a handful of people to stand in. It was open, and could be entered, on either its right and left sides.

The voice which rose from it did not seem to be talking business:

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby. I wish I had you with me right now, I'd have you so bent over and..."

With the high-rise partitions it would be easy to navigate around the meeting room without being seen.

The Rest

Tejón had managed to take successful control of Tucán.

Hidden:

If you mean the security hub door, there's a large window that allows them to see the entrance to the room as well as the loading bay floor, in general.

[BetaB17]

Oni

She raised a halting hand towards the flying drone, before turning it horizontally as if signaling to stay low, just as she slowly bent her knees. Yuuko still had the earpiece for communication, but it was obvious why she wasn't privy to utter a word now. Her hand slowly hovered over the blade on the back as she readied to sneak

[Kerr]

Tucán remained low hovering just behind Oni.

[BetaB17]

ONI

Stalking closer with an uneasy familiarity, doing her very best to silently approach the center, but as of yet it was uncertain which direction he would diverge to. For now, she wanted to close as much safe distance from behind this convenient cover

[Velvet LeChance]

The assassin grew closer and closer to the source of the voice, soon finding the centre of the room. Here, the corridor she had stalked up on branched out into two, bending around the cylindrical meeting space, before merging again at its back At this stage, she was within a metre-and-a-half of the meeting space. She could have ducked in behind one of the desks to the right, or to her left. Both allowed her a wide-line of retreat and could be relied upon to block her view from the other individual in the meeting room if needs be.

"You do? Then why don't you send me a picture, babe?"

The uptick of his voice almost concealed the sound of their movement within the meeting space: the soft squeak of a chair as they rose, the ruffle of trousers as they moved, the drawing out of footsteps. And then a stop. A chuckle followed:

"Oh you are a naughty girl."

Their voice, that time, emerged to a distance some right from where he seemed to have originally sat.

[BetaB17]

ONI

Adequately, she went to duck behind the right desk

[Velvet LeChance]

The right desk was that of Gabriella Ramirez, her name and title - trades analytics, analyst - was set into her cubicle wall. Inside the cubicle was a handful of certificates for good work, and a picture of her kids. The pair beamed out - one had seemed to have lost his front teeth recently.

And, Yuuki noticed, there was an SMG: dark, menacing, a thick silencer attached to it's front-end.

The conversation, in the meanwhile, continued. The speaker didn't seem to move, or at least Yuuki didn't hear him move. However, it seemed to be coming to a close: darting from the previous material, to what seemed to be goodbye's: "Well, I can't wait for Friday night either, I c-" He was cut off a moment - and emitted a small snigger in response. "Yeah, I like that." A pause, before: "But look, I have to go, before people start looking for me." He laughed at something. "Yeah, yeah, see ya, too... [&@%!]."

He sighed - a happy sigh. Yuuki hadn't heard him begin to move yet.

[BetaB17]

She didn't dare touch a thing, quickly looking around for an immediate place to hide if someone decided to occupy this same desk cubical. She had a hunch somebody might want their gun back

[The SheoDovah]

Cipher

"Anyone that walks through there, I will take care of it but if she or the drone alerts the building, we do it the hard [&@%!] way." Cipher remarked as he kept his distance from the nearest door and kept both eyes on it."Oh and if she goes ahead and abandons us, i'm going to be an insufferable prick and rub it in your face." He joked as he causally twirled the sawn off around his middle finger.

Hidden:

Then Velvet decides that it requires a GM action, I accidentally kill Tejon and cause a massive derail with what is meant to be a minor detail.

Hidden:

EDIT: Changed the door to nearest one as well, seems to be best. Doesn't seem to affect other posts.

[Velvet LeChance]

Hidden:

What door is Cipher talking about? To door to the office of the Vice President I presume? That doesn't have a window - its to one into the SecHub that needs to he looked out for.

[The SheoDovah]

Hidden:

Yeah, i meant the secuhub one.

[Velvet LeChance]

Hidden:

OK. But just to confirm: that would mean Cipher - per the map - left the room where the others are and strode the entire length of the loading bay to arrive outside the SecHub. I'll need to roll a dice to decide how successful that was - though I am also going to give players a chance to stop him from leaving the room, since I'm not sure others were aware of this (I never picked it up from your posts at least).

[Kerr]

Tejón continued to pilot his drone and hid under the desk with Oni.

Things were tense and his piloting required the bulk of his attention. As such Tejón hadn't been keeping track of what Cipher was up to. He'd earlier told him to stay put and assumed that would be enough.

[BetaB17]

Hidden:

Just to clarify, is Oni under the desk? Bc I just thought she was just by it. Less it happens to be only a desk, and not one of those horribly small cubical office desks

[BetaB17]

Oni

Rather than take cover by the immediate desk, she opted for another that didn't have a gun on top of it. She wanted to do her best to stay out of the line of sight, preferring more so to ambush

[Velvet LeChance]

Yuuki found that she was small enough to fit beneath any of the desks in her immediate vicinity, including the one she was right beside. It probably wouldn't fit both her and the robot, however. Looking down the line of desks, towards the end of the bay, Yuuki also would have noticed a gap between the end-desk and the wall which was large enough to maneuver through into either of the adjacent bays. However, whether she would make the distance in time was probably a coin-toss.

Her time to think about these options was slim, however. The individual who'd been speaking in the meeting room now beginning to leave: tall - more-so lanky - with a surprisingly low amount of muscle attached to his frame, he seemed to be in his early twenties, though a boyish face made him seem younger. He stepped out, a look of distraction on his features, and began to stride toward the exit. Yuuki could see that he didn't seem to be carrying his SMG.
