[QUOTE="Codename: GhostFox, post: 871087, member: 4113"] There are no security devices within the HVAC shafts. The closest thing would be smoke and carbon monoxide detectors mounted near the vents. Setting these off will summon the fire department. Activating the alarms is a no brainer with Raven at the security center controls, but a quick survey of the set-up gives him some pause. The grease monkey will need some luck to wade through the complexity of the set-up and avoid setting off any anti-tampering measures. [COLOR=sienna][I](([b]Festy_Dog:[/b] One thing to note, Raven won't be able to take 20 to sabotage the security systems since there are penalties for failure. I will make a d20 roll behind the GC screen, add any skill ranks, ability and other modifiers vs a DC of 25. But since you're at the heart of the security centre the difficulty is lowerd to DC 20 If you fail by 5 or more then bad things(tm) will happen. The security system might detect signs of tampering and raise an alarm. Or you think you may have sabotaged the systems but they continue to work normally. Does Raven wish to proceed with the [u]hidden[/u] rolls? What will you do first? Sever the security console's connections to any external response force? Or mess around with the cameras? These will require separate rolls. How many Action Dice will you be willing to spend on each? Another thing to note, if you take 20 on a skill check you cannot spend AD to increase the result.))[/I] [/COLOR] There is a shredder in the room.

But before the two agents can begin their work, they are once again interrupted by things that go bump in the night. The noises from the HVAC shaft have stopped but are replaced by a pair of dull thuds coming from the barracks/lounge. The noises sound like a heavy objects dropping onto a carpeted surface.
