[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1511059, member: 118"] The Hightower Convention Center Ballroom, Downtown, Coast City April 16 21:17 "You ordered them a bunch of pizzas!?" Jack's voice cuts through with equal parts incredulity and amusement. "Nice. Not sure it'll help, but probably can't hurt. See anything useful from your angle?" Jorgi has little trouble patching himself into the camera system, both the ones in the ballroom (one in each of the four corners) as well as the rest of the cameras for the entire building. They're analog video and thus very easy for him to interpret the visual images. As for electronics, there really isn't much aside from the lighting and the A/V gear. He would also be able to control the fire suppression system. ***** At Steven's request, Maggie starts to make some phone calls to try to arrange for an emergency cash delivery on their behalf. It seems that it's not an easy task at this time of night. Steven then looks over Sandra's way and finds that she seems to be in something of a state of shock. Like many of the others here, she looks nervous and uncertain of what to do. He pulls his cell and gets the limo driver on the line. The driver doesn't appear to be aware of the situation in the ballroom. "Heya. Yeah, I'm parked in the basement level 3, near the Southeast stairwell. Why, you need something? A quick getaway?" ***** Meanwhile, the self-stylized Pestilence motions to one of his armor-clad thugs. The guy with the full suit of armor motions toward the podium and the microphone releases its grip from the lawyer. Pestilence waives her away, allowing her to return to sit with the rest of the hostages. He then steps up to the mic, to address the ballroom over the growing din of people talking urgently on their cell phones. When his voice fails to carry over it, he curses loudly. Yelling, with an annoyed tone to his voice, he calls for attention. "You have until midnight to start producing your cash. When a person pays the fee, they will be released, and the rest of you will earn an additional minute of reprieve from my wrath. Anyone left when the payments fail to be made on time will be blessed with a plague the likes of which your darkest government agencies could only dream of." [/QUOTE]
