Stealthy

Dr. Gironde shares some strong suggestions about not letting AIM keep what they stole. We then go around the room and share what we each managed to learn during our 'break'. Feral discovered that AIM took over some buildings and has been moving in lots of equipment. Samaritan discovered that the girl we rescued is part human, part plant. The sample is the ultimate genetic repair code. Human DNA has inconsistencies and imperfections, and this water seems to work to correct those based on my research. Amethyst found a possible way in to the location with a survey team investigating a sink hole. The team disperses in different directions to start attacking the problem from different sides.
 
I get into the van from my company and set up in as inconspicuously as possible. Once I am parked, I start setting up my gear and running the system configuration. I also start the 'official' test I am getting paid to do. As I am scanning each of the members of the team, I see that Medkit is impacted by some weird field. The Cyber Cammando put his hand to the back of the data disc and then it shot out the purple paralysis beam or maybe a reversal of super speed. I wonder if I can do that? I begin trying to get some readings and see that he was taken inside the building. I instantly try to track his location. I am able to use his comm and they take him in and downstairs. Then they go down farther and are in a sub-basement of the sub-basement. I manage to get some information from him and discover he has five minions with him but is not in any immediate danger. I isolate his comm signal from the rest of the team and keep a direct line open to him that I can record and playback later at normal speed. I then inform the rest of the team of this.
 
I hear Gravitar and Amethyst talking about getting in and down to Medkit. I quickly check for building plans and maybe they can say they need to check the plan versus the actual layout. I also find a back door so to speak and they chose to swing to the north so they can check on Feral who is street level on the other side of the building and find that sewer entrance. They get to Feral minutes before the field wears off and she is back in normal time. She is not feeling very good and is sure that anyone in a weaker condition would die from the effect. She is also positive that it is a person sending the ray and not a machine. She witnessed it coming from a guy's hand and thinks that the machine might be a regulator of some kind.
 
I check on the Medkit recording and get: "Not hurt. Not Okay. They have cryotubes but aren't working. They have me in one of those right now. I think I see a nanotech lab." I pass that on to the team so they can be prepared for what is there. I also do my first attempt to hack the cameras inside the building, but they have a level of encryption that is higher than expected. All I can see is a lovely exterior view. I pull back a bit and try to determine if possibly a different method would work. Since user ID didn't work, then I will find the command lines in the camera code and use that as a back door to get me admin level access. Nothing seems to work, but I do get a glimpse of a camera that is very close to my position. I sneak out taking an iPad and cord and use my stealth skills to get to the camera and then behind it to plug in and access the camera. I AM IN! One down.
 
I decide my best way in is to use the Society of Rao distraction data and I am able to finally get access to the systems. Each floor has a closed system which explains why I was having so much trouble getting in. The sub-basement is actually split in two. One half has Medkit, the other half is a mystery. I quickly bring up the floorplan they are about to enter and start checking to see if there are any places to hide and how many bad guys of various types there might be. I discover a good place for them to hide in some office space on the north wall, but there is a regular patrol of three. They decide to forego the stairs or elevators and put a hole in the floor and drop down to the basement level.
 
I watch them capture the patrol team, but I know they have many more to deal with on this level. Is it better for me to work from afar and help them with intel? or go ahead and get in on the action? I can't really help in a fight, but I feel really helpless right now. Then I see that Golden Lotus has returned - with help.
