Saro now has identification that claims he is Mark Riddleston. -----Vasilii sets up an account for Saro (under the name Mark Riddleston). Vasilii also works to find the various items on the shopping list. He finds a combat knife, a throwing knife, one pair of binoculars, and four sets of night vision goggles for Swann, and an autopistol with ammunition for Saro. (6,400 BP from main account). Finding the molecular (chemical) analyzer is considerably more frustrating, and doing so consumes a considerable amount of time. Ultimately, Saro finds a used TL-13 molecular analyzer first by working through the Bromlian doctors (1,1000 BP from the main account). Vasilii arranges for the rental of a Reilley Motors Amadel (a mid-level, mid-sized wheeled car) in Nielsen, the Bromlian town just on this side of the border. The rental for a week will be 700 BP. -----Swann spends another day doing research. The research on the public health facilities is pretty easy, and he finds one clinic in Judithan and three in Kingan. None have warehouses nearby. Breaking into their computer networks is fairly easy for the ex-Belter, and Swann looks around their networks. All have computerized drug inventory lists. Swann shows the lists to Saro who concludes that there doesn’t seem to be anything that screams "AHV Vaccine" on the lists. Finding work schedules for the plants is also pretty easy. The main workday is from 8 am to 6 pm with cleaning crews working until 9 pm or so. There appears to only be a single shift at each facility at this point. Each facility lists two guards (from a local security firm) on duty at all times. Swann now has maps (downloaded onto his handcomp and laptop) for Judithan, Kingan, and the border area. -----The team loads their gear and weapons in the trunk of the air raft, and then heads to join the rest of the crew for one last dinner together, and to go over their plans one last time. -----"Mark Riddleston, Has a nice ring to it," Saro says when Ian gives him his fake ID. "Now I only have to keep in mind everyone else’s identities. It wouldn't do to call you by your real names when we are in KGL. "I agree that we should head to Kingan first and from there plan our next move. We can drive around and see the public health clinics and offices, any other outpatient clinics that might have vaccines, hospital, and the manufacturing plant. Before that little intelligence, I feel our best bet to begin is the plant, but we can decide when we are over the border. Perhaps the next order of business, once we decide we have everything we need, is to decide on a spot to cross the border." Vasilii suggests that the items of interest Swann uncovered about the far trader Sanford be forwarded to the Marquis’ staff with the crews’ suspicions. "The ship would have had to go through inspection just like the Bray Keaven did. They should have kept records of the ship’s registry, cargo, and such. Surely the IISS or Navy could track down the trader in question and interview the crew. "Also, if the far trader in question has ever carried passengers then TAS might have a record of the ship’s registry." -----Items that Saro will carry on his person: Personal communicatorHandcompAutopistol with two clips of ammunitionFake IDWeapons permit(s)Bank account cardFilter maskSome Bromlian Pounds in tenderA small medical bag with four doses of the antivirals, two doses Medical Drug, two doses Medical Slow Drug, two doses Broad Spectrum Antitoxin Drug, anti-inflammatories, analgesics (Vial with pills, disposable sterile scalpel blades, scalpel handle, silk sutures, gauze, gauze tape, syringes, small scissors, small forceps, sterilizing solution, two pairs of disposable sterile gloves, and a razor Packed on the vehicle: AnalyzerBalisetComplete med kit with suppliesSpare clothes20 doses of antiviralsExtra medical supplies (extra blades, sutures, gauze, etc)Broad Spectrum Antitoxin (TL12) (20 doses)Fast Drug (10 doses)Fast Drug Antidote (10 doses)Medical Slow Drug (50 doses)Inertial locatorBinoculars5,000 Imperial credits in tenderLaptop computer -----Items that Vasilii will carry on his person: Personal communicatorBody pistol (tucked in small of back) from Captain’s safe with magazines and ammoDagger (tucked in left boot)Fake IDCredit chit for fake ID and for general account250 Imperial credits in currency Packed on the vehicle: Flak jacketSnub pistol with magazines of tranq ammoFood and water for three daysClothes for a week, to include two nice suits -----Items that Swann will carry on his person: Local clothing (from military)Fake IDWeapons permit(s)Bank account cardBody pistol with two spare clips in shoulder holster beneath clothingFilter mask150 in local currencyKnife in right bootThrowing knife inside belt at small of the backPersonal communicatorHandcomp Packed on the vehicle:Extra clothing, include one outfit of basic black for sneaking around at nightLow-light gogglesBinocularsLaptop computer — once they pick up the rental car, this will be in thepassenger compartment with SwannThree spare clips for body pistolSnub pistol with six clips tranq ammoAuto pistol with six clipsSMG with six clipsFlak jacketTwo lock pick sets He also takes some tools from the ship that might come in handy, especially ones which would be needed for bypassing/disabling an electronic lock or security system. Martha tells him he can take any tools he needs, just so long as they don’t come from her "special" toolbox. Swann also makes copies of any "hacking" software or programs he thinks he will need. They are on separate disks/storage units. They are locked/encrypted, with phony file names such as Projected Sales for Next Quarter and Prospective Clients -- things a businessman would have on a trip, but wouldn't want the competition to get its hands on. He also has copies of all the info he found on their targets on another disk. Maps are on the laptop and the hand comp. -----Items that Ian will carry on his person: Local clothingWeapon permitsHandcompLong range communicatorStun gunInvisiKnife in left bootShort range communicatorFake ID and papersCredit chit for fake ID100 Imperial credits in currency500 BP in currencyFilter mask Packed on the vehicle: Combat snub pistol from the ship’s locker with two clips of AP ammoGauss pistol and four clips of ammoCombat environment suitReflec armorLight intensifier gogglesChanges of clothes</blockquote>
