Operation: Anthology

[Velmont]

"Ferret, stay hidden for the moment."

Dominic continue to walk and enter the parking lots. He take a look around him, to see where the business man are heading, and what the limo drivers are doing.

Your screen showing the casino floor flickers and then goes blank. Nothing just a screen full of static. [computer roll... a 6... + 10 =16] nothing seems wrong. You know you didn't cause that to happen. A few moments go by and then. A chat window pops open on YOUR system.

"Hello Russell."

Spoiler

Infinity does not have enough time to forge a proper reaction before the message appears. He feels strangely compelled to answer it, temporarily forgetting his teammates or the mission that is in progress.

"Hello. Who is this?"

OOC: My computer skill has a +14 modifier, not +10. Don't worry about ammending previous rolls, just a note for the future.

 

[buzzard]

Jed will keep watch at the van. His specialties are limited to sneaking around and shooting people. Neither appears to be called for as yet.

[OOC: My bad... see another mistake... I was looking at Craft (Computers) at +10... But I got it a +14 for now on until next level I bet...]

"It doesn't matter really. If you must have a name, call me Scythe.

But what is important is what I show you now and what you and your fellow Archer agents do in the next few minutes, hours and days."

The casino screen that was nothing but static now shows a hotel room. With a man and some woman well doing...

"This room 713. A nice luxury room. That is Josh Nylson. MVP Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys here to 'see the fight'. At least that is what he told his wife, Kelly. That girl he is with, as you may have guessed, is not his wife. A pity."

The camera switches for Mr. Nylson's room and shows a Blackjack table.

"This man used work for the Hand of Glory. That is until they betrayed him and left him to die. A nice guy really. Just had some bad luck. Now he's using his skills to cheat the house to raise funds. He's under the delusion that he'll gain his revenge one day."

The camera switches yet again to show Lancelot, then Ferret, then Shadow, and finally Jed outside your news van.

"And here is a motley crew if they were ever. Let's see. Agent Lancelot. Do I have some stories on him... One day when he was 18..."

@ SHADOW AND FERRET

The business suit men exit the door on the south end of the VIP garage. They head to a car in the 2nd section on the right (east) side of the garage. They'll have to walk by the drivers and the limos. One of them pulls out a cell phone.

The limo drivers are just chatting away. For the most part, they seem obvious to their surroundings. A few of them are smoking and just making crude jokes and telling each other what they think the outcome of the fight will be.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Ferret yawns as he leans against the pillar. He moves around out of sight of the suits once he sees them and ducks down between the cars either side of him.

"Better safe than sorry," he murmurs to himself, as he draws his SOCOM and screws on the suppressor from an inside pocket.

He puts it back in his holster, and waits on Shadow.

Spoiler

Infinity suddenly realises that he has a missino to tend to, but this seems all to interesting a situation to back away from. It would be foolish to cut the chat program off, not that he could anyway.

"So what about Nylson and that blackjack guy? Is this going somewhere? I'm a bit busy at the moment you know..."

OOC: Can I inform my teammates about this conversation whilst I am typing?

 

[Shenanigans]

Touching his date's arm lightly, Lancealot flashes a smile at her comapinons "Really dear, we should get to our seats. the fights just a moment away."
As he turns away from the supermodel, Lancealot speaks softly into his earpeice "The fights about to start. I won't be able to see the fighters entrances very well, so you will have to tell me if our target is there Infinity."

 

[Velmont]

"Ok, businessmen are going on the other end of the parking, you should be safe from them. As soon as I am with the drivers, you can start do your works."

Dominic walks up to the drivers, and he insert himself in there group at the east end of the circle, so he can have an eye on Ferret if needed, and that any talking to him have hi back on him.

"Hi misters. I am sorry to disturb you from you chatting. My name is Reginald Hartfield, I am from the security of the place. I am here to make a quick security control. It is just some routine business that we run out of a while."

Dominic asks for some identification about there cars and there licenses, just to make sure they are good, explaining it is just a matter of bureaucratic stuff. He tried to have the attention of all the drivers on himself all the time.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Once Shadow has started the distraction Ferret moves around the front of the Z4 to the other side and enters the car to check the glove box. If he doesn't find anything of interest he'll move on to the boot of the car, only opening it enough to get a good look inside.

"No problem at all Reg. I'll get the ID you need," says one driver in between cigarette drags. Others begin showing their licenses with their attention on Shadow and their backs to Ferret. The other driver returns with his paperwork. "New security stuff for the fight tonite?" he asks while handing his limo registration in a neatly folded stack.

Receiving his awaited green light signal, Ferret enters Quincy Jackson's car. He briefly looks past Shadow and the limo drivers to see the trio of businessman get into a large black SUV, maybe a Suburban. The glove compartment pops opened easily enough. Nothing of interest inside. Only the car's registration, owner manual and related items. A quick sweep under the seats only produces a traveler's guide to Europe. Seems Quincy has marked the section involving Rome.

Spoiler

[OOC: First off, yes you can tell them anything and everything you want. I only keep the conversation private for story and realism purposes]

"Russell. Russell. Russell.

Impatient are we. And we all wonder why they say your generation lacks morals. I'm showing you how awful society is becoming. How its becoming easy for the Darkness to take root.

Yes I fully realize you're busy. Operation: Anthology I believe your superiors are calling it. Well who am I to stop you from your important work.

We'll chat again. I'll be in touch.

But before I go, let me offer this piece of advice. When you recover the 'Eye of God' and a man is sent to analyze it and debrief you. Be cautious if he wears a ring with an image of a golden dagger."

And with that, the chat windows disappears and your screen once again shows the casino floor before Scythe began.

***

Lancealot leads his date for the evening past society's elite as they take their seats. A full house will witness the fight; not an empty seat in the arena by the looks of it.

The ring announcer enters the ring. Additional lights come on, likely for Pay-Per-View purposes. Boxing officals take their seats appearing to get organized including the three judges.

"Ladies and Gentleman. Welcome to the MGM Grand this evening. This is a 12 round match to determine the Heavyweight Championship of the World!!!"

Theme music of Von Rul's begins to play over the loudspeakers... Something classical but with a modern twist. [OOC: think a Beethoven Remix, which may sound cool or horrible depending on your personal musical tastes]
