The Assignment [edit] [delete] Admin
OOC: Post your actions as desired; the package's contents, while posted here, obviously won't be 'read' until after you've opened the door, etc. The cab ride is relatively pleasant, as cab rides go, and Cyon and Veronica arrive about five minutes after Maynard. Contained within the milk carton are a film canister and several sheets of paper. The canister is sealed with a strip of a green, gum-like substance. On the paper is written the following. "In retailiation for the murder of Alex Omar, Yosse Farrington and Edgar Drax must be removed. This will be carried out tonight, at The Green Bat. Yosse Farrington must die at his booth. Collateral damage is to be minimal, but any restistance may be eliminated. Within the film canister is your down payment. It is a one time use credstick, withdrawing from a nameless account. Use of this to withdraw your down payment of 6,000 will signify your acceptance. An additional 6,000 will be made available within 24 hours of completion. The operation must be carried out tonight or in the early hours of the morning; you have until 2:00 AM. Good luck."
Well Gentlemen [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
Veronica steps into Cyon's house as he opens the door, taking the gun she'd borrowed from him and dropping it onto the coffee table alongside her own. She sits down, waiting as the others open the carton and bag within, finally reading the paper as it's passed to her. Setting the paper down she leans back, "Well, gentlemen, it's been laid out in black and white, at last. But we haven't much time, it's important that we decide what to do." Veronica takes her hair out, running her hands through it as she speaks, her voice barely even as her mind races along several different threads at once. "We've now been directly asked to commit a double homicide. While theoretically justifiable morally, it'd change quite a bit legally...do we want to go down that path?" "Monetarily speaking I think we're being offered a fair amount, considering we're novices liable to blow the job. But that also means if we blow it, there's no reputation to link us to anyone." "As far as actual logistics are concerned, I think we can make this work. The stipulation with regard to Yosse's location at death will be the most complex; I shall need to enter the club physically, and armed."
Shall we [edit] [delete] Cyon
Cyon walks up the front door and enters the code very swiftly. The door opens, and he steps aside to let the others enter. Once they go past him, he enters and closes the door. Securely locking it, he enters the living room. "Is there anything I can get you before we open this package?" As he says this, he walks to the kitchen and places all his guns on the counter along with the clips and holsters and the few bullets taped to his leg. He then gets anything anyone may have wanted, then returns to the living room. "Shall we then?" Cyon opens the package, placing all the contents on the table. He reads it in turn, then lays back with his eyes closed.
Lets do it [edit] [delete] Cyon
** EDITED September 10, 2001, 11:53 am ** "Lets do it." Cyon opens his eyes and looks at the items on the table. "Lets do this, I don't mind attempting it, and as long as I can successfully disable the security cameras and lights, we shouldn't be identified easily at all. I will take care of everything from the matrix, while you and Maynard handle the location, either both of you going in, or just you, Veronica." "I notice that Yosse has to be killed at his booth, while Drax just has to be killed at the club. I assume this means we need to be unnoticed until we are able to remove Yosse, and then kill Drax more openly. Maybe we should all get ready, which means you two should get anything you need from home and then meet back here to plan?"
Right. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I concur. Let us plan things out carefully, but it can be done." Veronica stands up and paces near the window, "I disagree however about equipping before we plan. I can go in and handle things from up close, the scene is confusing enough in there that I needn't worry about very employee at once. It's even possible that I don't get noticed at all." "Cyon, you have overwatch, of course. What about you, Maynard, can you handle the two at the door and then be ready to take me out?"
Guards [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
"I don't know...do you want me to kill them or just incapacitate them?"
Plans [edit] [delete] Cyon
"k, well, if we want to plan, here goes. This is what I would suggest:" "Veronica, you go to the location as you did last time, but with Maynard. You both enter the club armed, and hopefully you aren't noticed. I expect you won't be as I'm sure many people are armed there." "Next, Veronica, you eliminate our first target, while at the same time Maynard removes either the guards at the door or our second target if possible. Just before this begins I kill all security camera's, as well as the lights." "After that it is difficult to plan, as we don't know what will happen. I can either stay here, but other than killing all computerized systems for the club, there is little I can do, or I can attempt to find a location closer where I can help if it is needed." "We will need to make sure our mode of communication is stable, as well as making sure that anyone who can be seen is sufficiently disguised."
Best laid Plans [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I'd advise against taking out the lights. We don't want a mass hysteria, it would hamper my exit....ideally it shall be over before a concerned citizen gets involved, and it's chaotic as hell in there anyway." "You'd better stay here, Cyon, this way we needn't worry about someone putting a bullet in your head while you're in the other world." "We can remain in constant contact, but it's important that everything be encrypted, you're both set up for this, right?" She moves about as she talks, showing signs of nervousness but seeming to be more comfortable with the situation now than before. "I'm worried about Maynard, though. Unless he can get a clean shot at them through the doors, he needs to go in against the bouncers...and that's not a very good situation. Any suggestions, Cyon?" "We shall of course use the entrance without scanners, but it's still important that our weapons aren't visible...pistols only, I think, given the situation. I can determine that when I suit up at home....are either of you in need of any equipment?"
Sorry... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
"I don't have encryption. I'm not really 'set up' for something like this at all...I just drive." He sighs, "I guess I'll take a pistol and see what I can do about the bouncers...I don't suppose either of you has a stun baton?"
Learn quickly... [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"Then I suppose you shall have to learn quickly, good luck. I've unfortunately no stun batton on hand, no." "When are we going to attempt this stunt? I'd suggest we aim for midnight; that leaves us two hours leeway. But we need to take care of cashing in that credstick, to signal our acceptance." "As I see it, I will enter and assume a position. Then Cyon can cut the cameras, and you, Maynard, can attempt to handle the gentlemen at the door....if you want we could try to set you up across the street with a rifle." "Once power to the surveillance is cut, I shall eliminate Farrington and any security he has with him on the dias. But what of Drax?"
Drax... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
"Do you know what he looks like? I don't recall you mentioning him in your report on the club."
Yes, [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"Cyon, would you care to print those pictures for us, of the two gentlemen? At this point I think we all know what we need, I suppose let us part and gather it, at which point we can finalize our plan of operation. Have we agreed on a target time of 12:00?"
Agreement [edit] [delete] Cyon
Cyon watches as Veronica paces, then says to her, "Ok, I can match your encryption, Veronica, and I agree with the lights. I had been thinking you could go in with some form of low-light vision, or the like, but with all the people, I agree it isn't needed, and may be detrimental." Looking at Maynard, "I'd suggest that you find a location where you can be ready outside with a rifle, if that is your best offensive skill. I don't have any form of close combat weapon unfortunantly. However, I do have a transceiver with encryption that you can use, as I will be in the Matrix." Cyon gets the transciever he had earlier from the counter where he had layed it and gives it to Maynard. "12:00 works for me, I will be ready. Our time should still be synced, so just let me know if I should not kill the camera's at 12:00."
Alright, then. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I can go in with low-light, yes, but I would prefer to take my chances in the light then to have a panicked mob on my hands." She stops and stands still, "Alright then, so we shall split up here. At 11:30 everyone will be in position, we will do a quick communication check at 11:35 to insure everyone is online." "At 12:00 I will handle those on the dias. Maynard, I will let you know when things are complete and you can meet me out front for extraction..." "Where are we going to link up upon completion, and who should go now and use that credstick?"
Final Plans [edit] [delete] Cyon
"I can take care of the credstick, as I am already prepared. Anything else we need to decide on?"
Not to my knowledge. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"I believe we are at this point ready, I shall speak with you both at 11:35. Good luck, gentlemen." With a fleeting glance back to the others, Veronica departs. The drive home is in a state of mild contemplation, her mind pondering the various possibilities of the evening. She listens to the radio, all but oblivious to the music. After parking, Veronica makes her way up to her apartment and calls for some pizza to be delivered and attempts first to read and then to watch television, both unsuccessfully.
Well... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
Maynard takes the tranceiver. "Thanks...I have a bad feeling about this, but...I'll help however I can." He then proceeds home to prepare. Along the way he stops for some drive-thru food.
