Lex stares at Ash for a moment with his mouth open...then shuts it and shifts his stare to the floor while he puts his hands into the front pockets of his jeans. "Hmmm. Wow. I guess I got a little ahead of myself." he mumbles quietly. Looking up at Oblamov, he says "She's got a point. What exactly ARE we supposed to do here? I mean, besides harrasing and trying to kidnap me, what exactly have these people done? What are their plans or goals that justify what our response is going to be?"

"For a decade or more, they have been involved in a concerted campaign to round up as many active psionics as they could find. And through their connections with researchers in academia, they have access to a lot. Several of the people we've helped were targeted by GUNΦT before we were able to ensure their safety.

And they are not known for subtlety. In fact, the Oquendos are orphans due to their activities.

We'd like to know a bit more about how they find out about us as quickly and as thoroughly as they do. Ideally, we will be able to install a back door into whatever computer system they have at their headquarters."

"And we have someone who can do that?"

"Okay, so this is a recon in force, not an all out assault. So you've got a hacker who can run the matrix and hack their nodes to install a backdoor if we can get him or her access to their computer? Or just a disk with a program on it that will do the same?" Lex asks, slipping into Shadowruner mode. (Yet another game he's played and loved in the past.)

"So we've got to go in quiet and stealthy then. A secret back door isn't so secret if they know we came in through the front already. Back to intel then- we need to find out what other businesses are in that building to see what we can use as an excuse to be there. Is it time for a scouting trip to survey the area?"

 

[Committed Hero]

"Most assuredly." [to both questions!]

Ash nods at all that.

"All right...so yeah. We need to case the place. What are the buildings around it? Any motels or anything we could rent a room in? Um..."

She thinks for a moment, scratching the little curve between her lower lip and her chin.

"And maybe find out what company owns that building they're in. Find out who their landlords are."

 

[Committed Hero]

If you guys want to make a list of the activities you want to try, I can boil them down to tasks and time periods.

 

[Shayuri]

(I suggest we move onto scouting the area in person...we can leave a laundry list of research tasks with Oblomov that they can answer for us when we get back.)

OOC: Sounds good to me.

OOC: Agreed
