>>>>>[Serenity Security? Heard a bit about them, nothing too specific.
I'll see if I can find out more. And I don't know about you, but we weren't
hired to "take" anyone, lightweight or not.

If you and Fang are both going to be on scene, there's not that much need
for me to be there too, but here's what I'll look like anyway:

The rest of us don't be there in person, and won't.

>>>>>[Weaver: my thanks on the MagSec report. Cat: Is your team's mage
capable of double-checking this and adding his own thoughts? We do want
to be thorough.

I noted some of the on site security as well, although I would beg to
differ on calling them "doughnut munchers." From what I heard of Serenity
Security, they have a good reputation for such a small outfit. On the
other hand, would you not agree having a squad of security personnel
plain-clothes or not, is a bit extreme even for Tarislar? I would say
that they are expecting something. Rather than be redundant with further
thoughts:

+++++include site.security.report.alpha

This also includes what I was able to see and what I surmise may still be
unseen in terms of security equipment as well as people. Feel free to
comment and annotate it and send me back a copy. From this and what else
we discover, we can synthesize a report to the Uncle.

As for taking them one at a time, due to work in the field, I am confident
enough in myself to concur with at least my part in that evaluation.
However, I am in total agreement with Cat in the Hat that conflict is not
what we are being paid for. If it were to come to that, our mission would
already be a failure, and even grossly incompetent security personnel
would not grant us the luxury of attacking one-on-one.

This is my current appearance:

ultra-exclusive, =Y0-a-drink, exec clubs? Definitely expecting
something.

Doublechecking the MagSec report: mage says evaluating magical security
worth the name without getting noticed is tricky and he needs some time to
prepare; probably ready tomorrow.

We've got about a day-and-a-half of drone footage in and analyzed; good data
on people and vehicles moving in, out, and around. I've summarized the
results:

+++++include site.activity.report.alpha

Drone footage isn't as useful for evaluating security, but combined with
your observations we can draw some conclusions:

+++++include site.security.report.beta

Image enhancement on the footage has gotten us some faces and license plate
numbers; I'm running a check on those against the SIN, criminal record, and
vehicle registration databases. Probably nothing interesting, but worth a
try.

I haven't been able to find out much more about the situation on the street
without asking suspicious questions. Easy has pissed off some organized
crime players and something big is going to go down, but you could figure
that out yourself.

I've got a bit more on Serenity Security, nothing specific, just general
info:

>>>>>[While I was originally planning on coordinating with the others and
providing a single report, it seems that my associate Weaver has went
ahead and sent you his own.

I have examined the report he sent you; copies were sent to myself and Cat
in the Hat's team. I have altered my report and analysis to avoid
redundancy, while also including commentary on some of Weaver's
assessments.

+++++include: Fang.report.addendum

In addition, I have compiled data on the known security systems that were
in evidence, and also have a speculative report on what other systems may
be in existence, but were not detected, but were probably in place, given
the operation conditions of the club and what was already known.

+++++include: security.system.report

Additional information, if necessary, can be acquired. However, that
would be outside the bounds of our initial contract and would require the
specific concerns needed to be addressed.]<<<<<
