Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

"Can do," says Cade as he starts to run a surviellance schema through his mind, so as to setup cameras and monitors for not only their own activity, but external activity as well.

"I think I saw some portable units in their gear," adds Cade.

Falkus, if possible, I plan on having Cade setup an external surviellance rig that will run from within the Minivan, watching the building that the group is investigating. However, it's main function is to use the overt surviellance of the building as a cover for the covert surviellance of the Freemasons.

Also, if there is something like it in the gear, Cade would like each group of us (Hoffman agents) to have a portable video unit.
 

OOC: The Institute provided sufficient electronic gear in the van, so getting the surveillance and video gear set up is no problem.

As Cade finishes setting up the equipment, the Freemason's vehicle comes into view down the road. Looks like they spent more time talking with the boss than you did.

Also, at about the same time, a black-haired man in a brown coat comes out of the front door of the motel, and walks over to your vehicle. He raps on the passenger side window, and says, "Excuse me, but we're closed. There's some maintenance problems with the building, and it's really not safe right now. We're expecting the builders shortly, maybe if you come back in a week. Could you please move along?"
 

"Yes we were informed of your problems. Our company was contracted by the builders to start a preliminary survey of the problems, mostly focusing on the electrical wiring at first. You did get the call from the builders, right? I've told the boss before that sending us out on these rush jobs is a pain in the ass. We spend more time convincing people to let us do our job than we actually spend working." Larry speaks out in the voice of a man irritated by the usual hassle of his job. Turning to Merdith, he adds "You might want to start looking for the files and the builders contact info, while I go talk to the Duffmeister about unloading the equipment."

Using Bluff to send a secret message: Try to find out who these builders are while I stall these guys.

I'm assuming since Meredith has a higher Sense Motive modifier than Larry's bluff modifier, she can decrypt the message.

Bluff: +12 (+10 + 2 Fast Talk)
 

"I find that difficult to believe," the man says. "Given that there aren't actually any problems with the building." He draws a Beretta 93R pistol from under his coat, and points it at Larry.

"I want the real reason you're here. Who are you, and who controls you?" he continues.

[sblock]The man is calm, and collected. There isn't the slightest hesitation on his part or indication of nervousness. No sweat, no shaking hands. He wouldn't have any problems killing you, and would probably have no regrets afterwards.[/sblock]
 

In a panicky voice, Larry turns pale under the gun pointed at him. "Don't shoot. I'm just doing what those MIBs in the black van told me to do. They offered us $200 in cash each to talk our way into this motel. I don't know why, I was just trying to get payed. If you want answers, go ask them."


OOC: oops :D
 

Since the conversation has turned for the worst, Cade will use the rear of the minivan for cover, as he's outside of it, and draw his sidearm.

While keeping his visible composure calm, as well as using the rear passenger corner of the van for cover, Cade will quickly draw up on the man in a brown coat and says, "I get that he comes across a bit smarmy, but I really don't wanna clean his brains off of my dashboard."

The laser sight from Cade's weapon is blatantly active, as is the fact that the young man is very comfortible with his sidearm.

"My suggestion is you drop it, before I drop you," adds Cade as his finger tightens slightly on the trigger.

Obviously, Cade will be attempting a sneak/hide/move silently thing, to cover his actions, before he aims down on the gent.

Woot! Counter surprise rounds checks!
 


Diego, startled, feels like Larry and the others in the minivan are sitting ducks.

Short of time, he draws his own pistol and aims it at the motel man, preparing to retaliate at any sign of a gunshot. Next he will undo his seatbelt, and consider a tactical withdrawal.
 

"Everybody calm down. No need to get violent." Larry does the best he can to keep a tight rain in his emotions, as his eyes look around for anything he could possibly use as a distraction. The last time I was in a situation like this, I got lucky. I don't think a bottle breaking is going to help this time.

[sblock=GM] This might be a good time for Larry's Wild Talent to manifest again. ;) [/sblock]
