Here's what will happen when we all go after Hirisoto:

As planned, Piper will fix the service records, from the UCAS, and Gawk
and I will enter, posing as the aforementioned maintenance workers.
When we get to the elevator, we'll stop at the important levels, climb
into the air vents, and set off a few tear gas grenades. When the
guards in the security room see us climbing through the elevator's
service hatch (via the elevator's camera) they won't think anything of
it, since we ARE certified maintenance workers (heh, heh). Of course,
when we slip on gas masks, they may tend to wonder, but they'll be
unconscious by then.
When the rest of you storm the building, you'll meet no opposition
from the lobby guards. When we all meet at Hirisoto's door... that's when
the REAL fireworks will begin.
All of Hirisoto's personal guards (3 total) are HEAVILY cybered.
Subdermal Armor, cyberclaws, gas filters, implanted mono-filament whips...
you name it, they have it (and then some). When they detected the gas,
one of the guards rushed Hirisoto to the roof, and called a copter for him.
The other two stayed behind to run interference.
As our characters arrive on the scene, we see the third guard running
with Hirisoto around the corner, as the other two guards keep us from
following them. After a battle in which I take a gunshot wound (not
vital, but enough to make things messy), we head to the roof. (Incident-
ly, if anyone else wants to sustain an injury or two, let me know...
it makes things much more dramatic-like. And these guards ARE bruisers.)
When we get to the roof, the helicopter has just landed. The lone
guard attempts to protect Hirisoto, while the copter fends us off with
machine-gun fire. Some of us kill the guard, while the rest of us storm
the copter. Hirisoto just faints from fright.
In the meantime, Aztech has the hotel surrounded by panzers, and other
heavy duty military craft. In order to escape, we take the rigger who's
controlling the copter, as a hostage, and have him fly us to UCAS
territory. After a little bit of air to air combat between us and a
few following aircraft, we make it back to the FreeCal border, where
they stop pursuing us. At this point, I question Hirisoto, get the
answer I'm looking for, and boot him out of the copter at 15,000 feet.
Now the question that I have is this: would TK be in any shape to
join us in the mission? He wouldn't have to take a vital role, but
the point is that we have to make a quick escape, and wouldn't be able
to come back for him (at least the way that THIS mission is set up). On
the other hand, one of the characters could stay in Atzlan with TK, and
then make an easy escape once he's healed. I leave this up to you Eric...
