Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
Sorry, I don't know too much about gangs here. My knowledge of Osaka gangs isn't much help here. Any idea's on how to bluff our way in? Hijack an ambulance and pretent to be DocWagon medics?

"That's pretty much what I had in mind, or we pose as disease health and safety inspectors or something," Sparks says.
"If we're going to check Astral security, we'd have to get close enough for us to take a look," he adds.

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
Acouple of minutes later, Tabby responds to Typhoon:
<Do you need a real DocWagon Vehicle, or is a van that is modified to look like one enough? First one's gonna be tougher as I would probably need someone to go steal one, which could maybe raise some red flags you dont want raised. Second option would be easier and could get done in something between 12 and 18 hours.
Fake IDs depend on the quality you need. If you only need to pass a rough check, I think I could get something done sometime very late tonight. For the top notch stuff you'll need to wait a while, I'd say 2 days at least.
I have some Smoke grenades on stock, but White Phosphor is not in my usual sortiment. I'd probably also need at least 2 days to get some.
As usual forsuch specific stuff: payment up front.
Tell me what you want and I'll start looking for it.>
Nearby buildings include an apartment building with a bodyshop on the ground floor, an office building which is about half empty with many local businesses filling the rest, and a stuffer shack.
Gears thinks he remembers something about major territorial fights in the area between the ancients and the Halloweeners lately. Should look pretty much look like a war zone on the streets.

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
"Weird... if I remember correctly, the Ancients and the Halloweeners should be at each others throaths in these parts. It looks like it isn't messy enough, though.
Inspectors could work, but we need a way to get out with the body, right
?"

"Right, erm... maybe we have a cart with 'equipment' in it, and we stuff the body in there? We can roll up in a rented van, or better yet, steal a government vehicle," Sparks says, "if we can find out who is in charge, we can give them a call a few minutes prior to the 'inspection'. Might not hurt to do a little research and find out what the inspections usually mean, who does them, how often they're done, etc. We also might want to redirect the boss' phone calls to someone waiting in the car, in case they try to verify."

This seems like the best idea so far. Shall we have our hacker try to find out that information? I don't have much experience in hospitals, does anyone know what kind of "equipment" our cart should have?

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
"Hacking would sure come in handy. It could help us get in. Once inside, with a distraction we can take off with the body with few problems. A fake fire alarm could do the trick. We could hack the signal or I could manipulate some sensors more directly."

"Well if we go in as los inspectores (the inspectors) we need to go in at a time which makes sense, this means during working hours with lots of ojos (eyes) on us."
"If we sneak in at night it'll be hard to look legit. I mean people working the night shift probably know everyone else working the same shift on sight."
"Depending on Doc wagon procedues a fake or real fire alarm could get people out of the building long enough for us to dig and get out. Now looking through la seņorita's (the lady's) personal appartment could point to where we can find her findings, and probably isn't that difficult to get into."
"Now this might require some looking into but I think I can set off the fire alarm, set up a fake inspection, hijack an ambulance or send off a fake emergency call to draw them away. Now some of these plots could take several days to pull off. So what is la plazo (the time limit) here? And does anyone know anything about Doc Wagon procedures or someone that could enlighten us? I'll poke around abit, if you want me to add anything to my search list now is the time to mention it."

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
"I'm going to need some time for digging, Gears can you drop me off at my place? Otherwise I'll need a safe place to crash with matrix service for a couple hours."
If a decent alternate location is offered Enrico doesn't refuse and if Gears refuses the lift, I'll take the bus.
Once in a safe location Enrico finds somewhere comfortable and flips into hotsim.

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
<Mr. Johnson doesn't want the autopsy results, so we have until that happens, but probably not several days, so what you can do in a short notice is good. Can you put a fake order or something to allow some of us to get in? Because once inside the fire alarm could do the trick and if faking one via the matrix takes too long we can improvise.
And ok, I can drop you off, if we're not going in right now.

"Thanks for the lift amigo (friend)"
Getting home Enrico stretches and subcribes to a city news feed before cooking himself a mountain of grillcheese, then locks himself in his room. Stretching wildly he sits down on an old comfortable armchair with his grillcheese and a glass of cheap concentrate orange juice beside him. Then flips over into VR and gets to work.

Several hours into the night, after finding basic information Enrico sends the rest of the gang a group text:
Found some stuff but still working on it. Pls check out (insert address of Jania Shields here) see if you can find a comlink/files/some clue as to where. Leaving this to you while I dig some more.
Call if you need me,

Messaging to the rest of the group. <Well guys, you want to come check out her apartment with me? I'll meet you in 30 in the lot two blocks south and we can see what she has.>
With that, Kitaru, grabs her coat, combs her hair, and jumps on her bike.

Everyone but Enrico meets at Jania Shields apartment building. It is a middleclass, 10 story building with an on site security guard in the lobby.
The apartment is on the 5th floor with windows to the streetfront. There are still a few people left on the street, but it is a residential area with not much activity in the night.

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
The team moves towards the door and the security guard frowns on them for a second until Sparks magic washes over his mind and makes him smile. The door opens in front of you and the guard wishes you a good evening while making sure that an elevator is waiting for you.
You go up to the 5th floor and towards the apartment, where you see the door covered with an AR-Sign:
This is a potential crime scene under investigation by LoneStar. Entering the scene without proper clearance is punishable with a fine of 500-2500nuyen and up to 3 months of jailtime.
Additionally, an old style crime scene tape is over the door, making it hard to open without damaging the tape.

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
((OOC: Assuming my microdrone can enter the place, Gears'll send him in to scout ahead and make sure there isn't anyone inside. Also, would the drone be capable of operating computers/get the information we want by itself (with maybe with Gears operating directly, of course)))
"Better be carefull, we don't want them knowing we were inside. I'll see if I can get a look inside before we enter, make sure it's ok."

Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
While Gears is unable to get his Microdrone through the doorslit, he does find an cooling-vent through which he is able to send the drone in. He finds the apartment in somewhat of a disarray, but noone is inside at the moment.

If no one stops Gears or tries to bypass the tape, Gears opens up the door and heads to where the computer is, saying:
"C'mon, we're on a schedule."
-
Re: Shadowrun 4E: Ghost Cartels, Chapter 1: A Stranger in our House
Before Gears opens the door, Kitaru puts a hand on his shoulders to stop him. Quickly using her commlink to take a picture of the distribution of the tape before they mess with it, she says, "OK, let's go in. We just might as well make an attempt to put it back in place. Now let's see if we can find those files."
