 * Anne, you come around the doorway on your right and come face to face with the ass of a man in white overalls, a breather mask, and a yellow hard hat. He's one of three, all standing around a large yellow and green rolling cart that you suppose is used to transport product up into the warehouse. *  * He farts. *  * And it smells bad. *  (( lol... ))  * Anne: The basement is very loud. Roll Stealth. *
 * AnneMarie runs across past the door way quickly

 * Johnathan, you're sitting in your van on the side of the road, doing whatever it is you'd be doing while waiting for something to happen...cutting lines into your forearm, clipping your toenails with your teeth, or listening to the radio...whatever. *  * Johan's phone rings and rings... *
 * Johnathan waits for the courier and trys phoning Johan to see where he is.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ GIZMO ON THE LOOKOUT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <GM> * Gizmo -- you run up to the complex and come to the fence, moving humorously on your short, stubby little legs. * <GM> * There's a fence. * <GM> * You see the same thing you saw after driving by, only closer. There are the two patrolling men as well. * <Gizmo> I stay *well* away from them, out of LOS if possible <GM> * They're moving.* <Gizmo> They are patrolling outside? <GM> * Yes. * <GM> * I told you this before. * <Gizmo> I check for IR bleed from the building... <GM> * You spot Anne along the side of the building, looking like a small black blob. * <GM> * The guards don't seem to notice you yet. * <GM> * Now what? * <Gizmo> I sneak away <GM> * Anne approaches the rear of the building. * <GM> * You pull back... * <Gizmo> is there a way to approach the building from the back without guards seeing... <GM> * Who knows, they're walking around the lot, they could decide to check the back. * <GM> * You're on the eastern side, BTW. * <Gizmo> ?What kinda wpns do they seem to have? <Gizmo> ?And any night vision stuff, comm, armor...? <GM> * One has goggles over his head. They both pack SMG's and pistols. * <GM> * Anne sneaks around the corner to the back. * <GM> * You see one of the guards start heading along the western wall, towards the back and he dissapears from view. * <Gizmo> I check for ultrasound emissions with my detector... <GM> * You have mag? * <Gizmo> Then look at the building for IR bleed <Gizmo> I have goggles 20x <GM> * You can't see into the building with Ultrasound because there seems to be a massive amount of white noise from inside, making the place appear solid to your goggles. * <GM> * You guess there's machinery running inside the warehouse and that's what's causing the white noise. * <Gizmo> OK, i will set up in some darkness out of sight of the guards as much as possible and scan for comms, look for IR bleed from the building trying to spot persons.....and kind of just watch out for trouble i guess <Gizmo> I have a scanner channel set to monitor Lonestar too, although these guys are pretty unlikely to call them I bet ;) <GM> * No radio traffic. * <Gizmo> ?from what i saw, is AnneMarie good at the stealth thing and intrusion?? <GM> * Very. * <Gizmo> I have the jammer set up to match the scanner, so it is ready to trigger if i hear any alarm comms... <GM> * You watch Anne run back around to the front of the warehouse, heading over to the bay doors as one guard walks along the back, and the other heads to the front gate. * <GM> * Anne-Marie slips inside the front door. * <GM> * The guard out front doesn't notice and turns around, wandering back across the lot. * <Gizmo> I pick up a rock and hold onto it <GM> * You do so. * <GM> * Gizmo, you sit and wait. *
 * Gizmo still crouching, looking alert, listening for comms, holding my rock ;)

 * Gizmo still crouching, looking alert, scanning for comms, fingering my rock...
 * Johnathan trys to raise Gizmo on his com, finally remembered that we had a new pansy in the group... "Hey you there?"

I am moving to the compound." <Gizmo> <c> "Haven't seen Johan - thought he was with you." <Gizmo> <c> "No response from AnneMarie either - I'm gettin a bad feeling." <Johnathan> <c> "He dissapeared... no idea where he is, can you use demolitions?" <Gizmo> <c> "Well, it's got wires, so I've got a shot. I'm no expert though" <Johnathan> <c> "Good." <Gizmo> <c> "You know anybody else we could call? - I don't feel good about just 2 of us taking em all down, if they got AnneMarie already..." <Johnathan> "Gizmo are you safe there for now? I am gonna try get us some help." <GM> * You call your fixer up....at midnight on Monday. * <GM> * You get an answering service. * <Gizmo> ((aw cmon, i thought they *live* for situations like this - despearate runners call at 2am :) <GM> * "Leave a message." *BEEP * * <Gizmo> <c> "Hey, it's Gizmo - got an *urgent* requiremnt, call me back ASAP." <Johnathan> <c> "Gizmo, how long's Anne been in there, it's a bit early to make calls..." <Gizmo> <c> "Ok, not my skin.... We lost our scout, lost our demo guy, no problem mon." <Johnathan> <c> "Anne may just have her Comm off."
 * Gizmo tells him where I am, and where the one guard I see is so he can approach better...
 * Johnathan moves up closer.
 * Johnathan slowly approaces the compound and watches for the guard that Gizmo told him about.
 * Gizmo has a pow-wow with Johnathan
