Framed and Fortune.

[swrider]

The sun rises early in the precinct on the following day. The captain arrives early in a much better mood that usual and takes up residence in his office. Closing his blinds and leaving instructions not to be disturbed.

[DeepSpacer]

We'll gather up with Boss & Hell. Comlink A&A. Get started on the day.

[SavageBob]

AAA steps into the station still rubbing her eyes. "Hate to admit it, but that sleep was just what I needed. Had to nurse a drink till my chum passed out on the floor of her flat, but it was worth it. What's new here?"

[swrider]

Hell arrives at the station and finds the group. "I was looking at the calendar. It appears we lost a day when we were unconscious. Looks like today is the day of the robbery. So whats the plan."

[Matt Skywalker]

This had better be good. Boss wasn't happy that day.
I know this sounds bad, bit how about we break in to catch the other peeps when they break in. I can distract people okay

[DeepSpacer]

"I (Monty) say there's not much time to lose! We should go soon. Is everyone here?"

[SavageBob]

"Where's Anjali? She ever find anything useful on that datapad?"

[Flamiel]

Still a little sleepy, Anjali enters the room from the back, clothes and hair a bit disheveled. "Yes, yes, I'm here. Was too tired to deal with it last night. Let me see what this thing has."

Anjali examines it for a moment. "Oh yeah, I remember now that this thing had some severe security on it. Could even be dangerous. Heh, but I'm up for that kind of challenge. That's what I've got this stuff for... Anjali pulls out her slicer gear and dataspike, plugs in, and goes to work.

Spoiler:

Anjali; Alpha Squad; Computers to slice datapad, boosts from dataspike:
1 Failure, 2 Advantages, 2 Triumphs,

[Flamiel]

"Almost there...," Anjali murmurs under her breath. Her brow furrowed in concentration, she typed furiously on the keypad, fighting the encryption algorithms as they mutated and morphed to thwart her cracking attempts. "Almost there..." Man, she should have drank some cafe before trying this...

There it is! She's in!! Or...is she? Somethings not quite right, it wasn't a clean entry...she's accessed some peripheral information, but not the core of it. But the encryption seems to be slowly...decaying.

"Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news. Bad news, this son of a bitch has more layers than even my equipment can break. The station has more advanced equipment that can definitely crack it, but it will take several hours." Anjali continues: "Good news, they only put the main payload behind that mega encryption, there's other stuff I was able to glean."

"First, this thing was going to unlock on its own at some time in the future; in fact, it was going to be several hours after that robbery is going to occur."

"Second, these guys were a little sloppy with their geo-location tracking. They spent a significant amount of time traveling to 3 locations from that facility we smoked them out of earlier. The pattern of their back and forth trips indicate they're probably stockpiling gear and/or weapons. I think it's likely that one or more of these locations will be used as a staging area for their robbery."

[DeepSpacer]

"I think one of those locations is our best choice. I'm not sure we can trust anyone here.
They didn't want us investigating further to begin with! I think we have enough time to look into them. Worst case, we find some resources at those locations to help us thwart the robbery! Best case? We find them there before they can rob the bank!"

[Flamiel]

What about this datapad? Should we leave it with the station and see what else they can pull? There's not much more I can do with it."

[Matt Skywalker]

I don't trust them. We should keep the data pad. Remember a general is behind this.

[SavageBob]

"Agreed. Maybe we start at the spot that's farthest from the bank and work our way toward it?"

[DeepSpacer]

"Agreed. Maybe we start at the spot that's farthest from the bank and work our way toward it?"

"As good as any idea. And we should keep the pad. It's supposed to open up or display something (unlock) on a timer. I want to see it when it does. "

[swrider]

The group loads into a standard issued police speeder truck and make their way to the the first location. A small warehouse well away from the bank. The entrance is located along a side alley and the single overhead light flickers on and off rhythmically.

[SavageBob]

Alamy saddles up to the door. "The Nuns of Devaron taught me a few tricks. Let me see if I can't tell what's on the other side of that door." She focuses intently, head tilted forward and eyes fixed on the portal.

Spoiler:

AAA; Alpha Squad; Far Sight power check:
, 2 Light Side



Huzzah! AAA can see through the door, out to Medium range, for 1 pip, and she can ignore any darkness penalties for the second pip.

[swrider]

The door leads to a small dilapidated warehouse. A small table sits in the center of the room with a bunch of materials strewn about. Several duffel bags lay on the floor near the table.

[SavageBob]

"Looks deserted... At least as far out as I can see. Just a table with some junk around it. Some duffels on the floor." She drops the far sight and looks back to the others. "Don't look at me like that!"

[DeepSpacer]

"Interesting!"

"Looks like a crime scene to me. We should "investigate!" Who want to so the honors?" says Monty, looking at the door.

[SavageBob]

"Is it even locked?" AAA tries to open the door normally.

[swrider]

The door swings open. The warehouse remains quite except for the echoing sound of the door squeaking as it opens.

[Flamiel]

Anjali follows."Hey, can we be on the lookout for booby traps this time? I'd rather not wake up in a cell again."

[swrider]

Hello unholsters his weapon and stands next to the door. "I'll keep a look out here while you explore.

[SavageBob]

AAA enters the warehouse, keeping an eye out for any booby traps. She goes to the nearest duffel and carefully opens it to look inside.

[Flamiel]

Anjali sticks with Alamy, and scans carefully around in the inside of the warehouse.
