>>>>>[Hi all. I just thought I'd post the plan to this board for all the
armchai and real tacticians. I'll give you an after-action report when
we're through. At any rate, I thought I'd let you know what was going on
in case something goes wrong.

OK, The Piggly Wiggly warehouse is in the Ozarks. Packard Belle and
Mind Throttle are already 'on scene' as it were. Stormblade's on a
commuter to the site; he'll be decking directly. I think he's arranging
for Thorne to meet him there; she'll provide magical support. MT's been
playing with the drones we got her; more on them later. I think
Diamondback's gonna help, but I haven't heard from him lately.

Oh, I'm supposed to apologize for Stormblade. He wasn't himself. Literally.
I was testing a theory we might use on the show, where Brenda, in an attempt
to make Tori look foolish, slips a subliminal Shakespeare sim overwrite that
activates only when she talks to Dillan. Watch for it next month.

Anyway, we got some drones for Mind Throttle from the locals. Seems there's
a cottage industry up there in advancede RC technology. We went to HillBilly's
for some part (that is, Belle did) and picked up some home-made drones, no
questions asked.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Better yet, no records of transaction or purchaser description. The
drones are high-speed off-road vehicles. And they look like RC vehicles.
But they're well-armored, small, and fast, making them hard to take out.
MT's gonna run them around the warehouse to distract the guards and elec
sec. We're also gonna have several transmitters that can be turned on
and off at will, making it difficult to take things out by tracking the
signal.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I'll also be driving around, making it difficult to triangulate
my control signal. Or something like that. I'm just a race car driver,
this Robodroid stuff is pretty new to me.]<<<<<
-- Mind Throttle <20:39:09/7-22-54>

>>>>>[Anyway, Belle will enter the building with Stormblade and Thorne,
if she gets there on time. (If she doesn't it's no big deal since there
didn't seem to be a lot of magic in the first place). Belle will take
Stormblade to one of the unoccupied offices, from whence he'll deck.
Belle's then going to got to whichever place has the highest security;
these guys have something, and I want to know what it is!]<<<<<

>>>>>[And for all you pros out there, I want to let you know I don't
usually go into something like this, you know, no exact objective. But
you don't know what I saw in there: animals jacked into the Matrix,
rat brains floating in life-support boxes, stats on neurochemistry and
alphawave pattern. And no corp logos, or uniform badges with more info
that name, rank, and SIN. Someone's funding something weird, and not
even the corps know about it.]<<<<<
