Gaming w/Jemal: Mutant Apocalypse Issue 2: Vegas!

[BBs]

Laura was eager to go to the casinos, but that can wait. Food is important, and knowing the guys, they'd probably pick an all meat diet and that just won't do. "The slots can wait, what's the list? It better not be filled with nothing but cat-food." she gives a smile as Frost and her walked on. Asking for directions were easy, "Excuse me sir-" and instead of one, three guys came to give the same directions to the same place.

As the duo shop around "Okay we need spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, definitely no mushrooms, some -" Laura is interrupted with the customer giving Frost a weird look, and couldn't resist a giggle. "What's the matter? Cat got your hand?" she then bursts out laughing.

OOC: Sorry, bad for posting on week-ends. Laura will stick with Frost until the shopping ends, and then go to the casinos.

As the duo takes a moment off, Vittorio leans on a wall and lights up a cigar. He takes a deep breath and puff the strong and spiced smoke. "Wel..." he says, holding the cigar in one hand, and rubbing his left eye with the other. "Seems our easy ways in do not exist, or at least these commoners don't know of any. We can try to get to one of them scientists, or ask around in the security guard syndicate." the man sighs and takes another smoke. "I don't really know, what do you think?"

 

[Shayuri]

"I think we'll have more luck with scientists than security people," Cassandra replies wearily, setting the camera down for a blessed moment. The Vegas sun was absolutely merciless, and she felt like they'd been out in it for hours. Which...was accurate, really. There were people selling little bottles of water for five bucks or more, and she'd bought one and called it a bargain because it was that or fall over.

She guzzled some of it, then sighed.

"Security people, good ones, are suspicious. More likely to look for problems, or flaws or holes in our stories. But you know what we really need? Admin staff. Secretaries or file clerks or that kind of thing." Cass nodded. "That's where you find your good leaks, ninety percent of the time. They don't have the wages and perks of the science team, but they file those reports and edit the papers and they have access to ALL that good stuff, but the system sort of forgets about them. That's who we need."

"Now THAT'S a capital suggestion! Good thinking." Uomo says, ethusiastically. He takes a moment to look at Cassandra, and points at her with his cigar. "You look tired bambina, maybe I'll handle the camera while you ask the questions? Or do you want to take a break? We can spare 30 or 40 minutes if you need them."

Terry Quinlan, The Grid

[sblock=ooc]Sorry for falling so behind. Out of town for a few days, then RL took over for the next couple[/sblock]

Terry gives the cat-man an odd look as he sets about domestic chores, but shrugs and offers up what dirty clothing has piled up during the group's quick trips south and now to Vegas.

"You really want to help, though ... you process things quicker than normal, right?" he asks. "If I can feed you back surveillance footage, think you can scan it at high speed and try to reconstruct the security schedule?"

[sblock=ooc]

Jkason - Anything specific you're looking for with the satellite/cameras/hacking?

Grid would be trying to make a general assessment of security, and if he has access to any logs via the satellite or the local security grid he's hacked, he'd do what he could to compile a schedule. Sounds like the latter doesn't mention the extra security, but if he can scan back through the footage from the satellite (as noted above, possibly by taking advantage of Felix's Quickness abilities), they might have a vague sense of the security detail on the outside, at least.[/sblock]

"So they're your enemies then? You're working against the Hive?" Genie seems to perk up a bit "What about your friends, do they know or are you like a secret, double-agent spy?"

Terry laughed, his avatar shifting to a suave gentleman in an immaculately-tailored tux, martini glass in hand.

"I trust my friends," he says. "They've got my back. So when do I hear about yours?"[/sblock]

"Now THAT'S a capital suggestion! Good thinking." Uomo says, ethusiastically. He takes a moment to look at Cassandra, and points at her with his cigar. "You look tired bambina, maybe I'll handle the camera while you ask the questions? Or do you want to take a break? We can spare 30 or 40 minutes if you need them."

Cassandra shakes her head as she finishes her water and tosses the bottle away. "I can do it. You know what to say better than I do. I'm good now. Lets keep going. If I sit still too long, I won't be able to start going again."

She lifts the camera back up and nods, tired but ready to go.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Good." Uomo says, and walks slowly to where the bottle was tossed and picks it up. "Facing deadly danger but aware of the environment. What would the world do without me, Ha!" he says, and throws the bottle in a trash can. "Alright, tag along camera girl, we are off to find some administrative scum!"

Earlier on

“Well, in my cat and ‘hybrid’ forms,” Felix started, making quotation marks with his hands that he raised beside his head as he said hybrid, laundry bag still in hand, before continuing on while lowering his hands back to his sides “I can more readily track events happening a dozen times faster than normal then an average observer can in real time; right now though, I’m not notably quick about anything.”

Felix glanced down, spied the bag and then looked back up. As a droplet rolled down his face across bare skin “I don’t think they will be back too soon, so I’ll get the laundry out of the way first; I don’t want to be out and about when they get back.” Felix said before gathering the rest of the clothes and heading to the hotel’s Laundromat, he quickly got the cloths into their machines after flipping them inside out, one for white, one for darks, and so on, and then set them to wash, took a look at the time, and then left the machines to do their work he returned to the room, informed Grid he would leave again in a short while, but he figured he could get started while the clothes went through their wash cycle, he would then leave again, put the close to dry (and simply return with those he figured could not be machine dried to let them air dry in the room) and then staying in the room for another short while before going back to the Laundromat again and returning with the remainder of the clothing, he took a moment to get the cloths right side out and then folded them swiftly and put them in their places.

He then informed Grid he was ready to go through the remainder of the footage and then observed what was left to view. Afterwards he would stand nearish to the door for five seconds and then return to his schedule…

OoC: He is in his human form from when out of the room and before he first leaves it, he is in hybrid form any time he is in the room afterwards ;3

<Frost/Laura>
Frost and Laura continue their shopping, grabbing everything on Felix's list plus some more 'healthy' stuff at Laura's Insistence. Fortunately, the wad Felix handed them should cover it.

After they check out everything and start hauling their wares back to the room, they both get the feeling like they're drawing attention.

<Cass/Uomo>
Cassandra and Uomo finish their short break, Uomo being annoyingly environmental () as they start to head out.
Realizing they may need some help finding their 'targets'. Once they've acquired the information, they head out for another round of interviews.


<Grid/Felix>
Grid finds all the footage he can access, and starts poking around the labs security a bit more while Felix finishes all his chores.

A while after Felix has sat down to scan the footage, Grid gets a call from Uomo asking for some camera info to locate administrative personnel entering or exiting the building and track some of them down. Once he's completed that relatively simple task, Grid returns to the security.

OOC: Laura's got some good insight, so I figured she's not going to mess up Felix's recipe. Also hope you guys don't mind me 'stealing' Uomo/grid for a moment. I figured it was the quickest way for you to find the administrative peeps, and just fast forwarded a little bit. OK, I need the following checks: Frost/Laura : Perception Grid : Tech, Persuasion Felix : Perception, Insight Uomo : Investigation, Insight Cass : may roll to Assist Uomo. So who's idea was it to send the two wanted fugitives out for groceries? Or are Frost and Laura just being paranoid from all the guys checking out her hotness? Stay tuned to find out!

Seeing that the groceries were huge, Laura decided to help Frost take them back to the apartment. She attempts to carry the bulk of the groceries with ease "Here let me carry most of the stuff, since I added a few extra things." As Frost and her walk back to the apartments "You know, I've been thinking about it, I'm going with the name Shadow. It may seem it does not suit me, but I've been working on it. Hoping that Frost would understand what she means without trying to say the word "codename" in public. After her decree she takes a look around here and there in case any guy was following her.
