So Chivalry, what would be a reasonable way of progressing? With Keys here, we could probably simply walk in...

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
David nods and looks around, not saying anything. Is he looking for something? Whether he found it or gave up, he looks at Shadows, "Well, Keys obviously has the door, but if we can do this without waking the lady, or otherwise keeping her oblivious, that'd be ideal." He looks at everyone, "Well, Keys with the door, Shadow keeps the lady from seeing anything. Innocence, is it in your power to have us be invisible? Keys, can you also look for alarms or is that out of your domain? I'd imagine you could sneak past one if you knew it existed, at least. If anyone has an idea to draw him out, that would be superb."
He stops and shakes his head. "Maybe I'm making this too difficult. Shadow, could you just sneak in and drop some blood in his mouth and be done with it? What is the guy's name? I've been referring to him as "the guy" and "ex-boss." I'd prefer a name."
Is the ex-boss's mouth open? Maybe he snores? Do we look divine now or do we look mortal?

Alyra peers into the darkness of the penthouse through the windows, and crosses her arms rather uncertainly. "I think," she says, her voice wavering a bit, "that 'Mamba' would prefer something rather more theatrical." She whirls around to look at the others, in the shadowy illumination of the night that the city lights fortunately convey, and takes a deep breath. "Invisibility isn't really in my domain, David. Although..." She looks thoughtful. "I suppose I could try to make them Innocent to the abnormal, so that their minds would be closed off to our presence. But that might take a bit of work. We could simply walk right in."
Innocence looks back in, and shivers. "Or at least, one of you could walk in before me and turn on the lights..."
We always look divine, dear. It's the spiritus Dei thing. You've got to guise yourself to look mortal, so.
By the way, I didn't bring it up, but we could also look into the Mythic World and have a discussion with some spirits to make things go the way Shadows would prefer.

"Of course... his name is Thomas Cartwright. Although you will not find his job listed anywhere, he is the CIA Black Ops Director.
His companion has no part of this and it would be wrong for her to suffer harm due to his actions."
<If there is an obvious key-hole or gap in the door somewhere, I will use shape change to take the form of whatever creature could pass through the gap (possibly a black ant). Once inside, I will change into a black butterfly and land gently on the woman, then use my venom power to create a contact poison with a strong narcotic effect that will push her safely into a deep, deep sleep. I will then shape change back to human form and take the guise of my original, bullet-riddled dead body and clothing.
How easy is it to hurt me with bullets?>

Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence
Alyra makes a thoughtful noise. "If you'd like, I can ensure that she won't suffer any emotional distress as a result of anything she might witness you doing, y'know."
By a Lesser Preservation. Also, you'd be more bulletproof if you did that one Rite, though it's not as effective if your Spirit isn't very good.
By the way, Sophist, anything from the Divination on my predecessors?

Alyra merely shrugs. "Does it really matter? We are Noble. It's not as if subterfuge is important. Subterfuge to mortals, anyway. I'd just rather not see an innocent girl be harmed; I don't really care if she sees me." A thought occurs to her, and she turns to the others. "...has anyone," she asks, "had the foresight to bring flowers so that our miracles can't be tracked?" She looks around the balcony for anything evidently floral.

David raises an eyebrow and smiles, "Well, it occured to me that stories of people breaking into apartments, forcing people to drink blood might cause more problems than it ends. I didn't bring flowers, though. Is it too late to go back and gather some?" He, too, starts looking for flowers.
There are openings for Air Conditioning and one for sucking the cooking smells from stove, both are possible was in. No windows open, but three door out to the balcony with lock only accesible from inside. Windows and doors have an alarm system, not very obvious, but your noble senses see it.
This comes down to that Michael has put the woman in deep sleep. He is fairly certain that anything short of a gunshot in the same room will not wake her.
A lesser divination will not provide a cross-time vision of them. such things are reserved for major miracles. but IMO, you can glean some basic facts on how the relation of the powers to the estate was. So I offer this: there were 12 other powers of Innocence, most of them Marchesa, too. Only the 7th was very weak, but had other powers. Which wouldn't be detailed by a divination of Innocence. Most had a great bond to the sanctity of their estate. Only two of the prior nobles were male.
<To kill a durant noble, more than wound that would be deadly for a human would be nessesary. Also you can dodge Bullets at Aspects 3 or 4 (don't have book here now, but I think this suffices as a guideline).> It's probably likely that Cartwright has a gun somewhere near, however is's unlikely that he can get it and shoot you before you can do much about that.
