Okay, so what's in the profile? WhiteTyger has no real desire to subject
himself to heavy fallout. I assume you mean by Radiological Labs you mean
stuff like X-ray machines, not Plutonium. Also, could you give me a rough
out of of the security (in the data vs. what they would really find) so I
can start drumming up ideas for the writeup. Also, some point late
tonight, WhyteTyger will be casing the place externally (i.e avoiding
conflict, but he will get as close in as he could without reasonable
chance of detection) to verify the datasheet's claims.

Yep. X-ray and gamma ray examination of structures, also measuring radon
levels in air samples, checking for trace contamination, that sort of
thing. All very low level (this is a lab in an industrial park, after
all).

Pretty light. The profile claims an external camera system and alarmed
fence, with monowire at the top strands: six guards on duty during the
day (two walking the fence or checking the car park), two "off duty" in
the staff lounge or similar but on site, and two on the gate checking
deliveries and dispatch, arrivals and exits. At night this drops to two:
one on the gate, one wandering at leisure.

Checking the place reveals the datasheet is substantially correct. The
guards are from Jolly Roger Security, armed with sidearms and stun
batons. They don't appear to be particularly wired or highly trained,
merely competently doing their job and drawing their paychecks. The only
noticeable anomaly is that the car park (twenty spaces) is also enclosed
by weldmesh fence, with a security gate.

The building is a single storey high, about fifty by twenty metres.
There is a cleared area of about the same size beside it, overgrown and
grassy but with a construction company's signs in place: it seems they
intend expansion.

OBTW, nice one with Stainless Steel Rat and the LAVs, he's managed to
persuade the diehard tread-heads Stephanie and her Uncle Sasha to
consider them :)
