Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mosier" data-source="post: 6572621" data-attributes="member: 6776381">I'm a bit unclear on what the group is about to do. Heartbreak and Saint have both expressed interest in going to the security office (I presume to try and shut down the drones, right?) but are Skinny and Casper going with them? Last I heard from Casper, she was going to try to sneak up on the drone handler in the hallway next to the dressing room behind the CTI showroom. If Casper wants to go to the Pow! preparation room to tamper with the drink mixture, she will have to get past the same security team that is watching over the dressing room. I think I may not have provided enough direction to make the group feel comfortable on this first run. I'll try to fix that here by giving you a list of a few things you guys should think about. Of course this is not in any way meant to limit your options. 1. Anything that disrupts the event will work. Sabotage the drink, or make the drones go haywire and shoot the crowd, or take the event host out before the event starts, or lock the furnace on full blast to sweat everyone out, or any one of a number of things have a good chance to work. I suggest the group picks one instead of trying to doing it all at once.2. Heartbreak is running out of time on the CTI host network. He is now forced to make constant rolls against the patrol IC. If he's spotted, the full wrath of the host will be upon him. He may last a short time against legions of IC programs and the network administrator against him, but if it gets to that point you will no longer be able to count on Heartbreak manipulating locks or drones or cameras, or providing any hacking support at all. This would be a disaster, because he still hasn't solved the "everything is awesome" video backup problem. Trust me, trying to find and destroy or manipulate the video without accessing the host would be worst-case scenario. 3. Don't be afraid to act boldly! You're mercenaries! You're stronger and faster and sneakier and smarter than this third-rate corp can hope to resist. You're the perfect blend of talent, and bargain-basement price (otherwise Aleksander would have found a different crew!). The surest way to fail this run would be to hesitate long enough for CTI to get sure footing to push back against you.I'm absolutely okay with out-of-character talk about the current run in this thread, at least until everyone is comfortable. As always, feel free to ask any questions (including "what are my options?") if you're unsure how to proceed.</blockquote>
