Message: <blockquote data-quote="Graf" data-source="post: 4040278" data-attributes="member: 3087">The car ride is uneventful.It's still early in the night, and the traffic is a mixture of businessmen making the late commute home, truckers cutting through the city now that the traffic's thinned out and people out for a night on the town.Celeste's haven is located in a relatively small ultra-modern building, Ivory Courts, in the epicenter of town. Ivory Courts is located on a short, apparently unamed, street off Wright, the central bolevard that cuts through the financial district and dead ends at City Hall.Ivory Courts the building where Celeste's Haven is locatedThe building is seperated from the road by a well lit front garden. Archer's key code enables access to the building proper but the group initially finds itself stymied by the elevator; Archer doesn't have a key pass to the 12th floor (Celeste's Haven).[sblock=Diego -- Larceny]Security is tight in this building. It has some strange features for it's zip code.It's set back a ways from the other buildings around it (which is a big waste of space), there are no apparrent protruberances or balconies. Sides are sheer directly up to the roof.A piece of real estate like this should have a doorman, or three. Nobody this rich has to settle for electric door locks, no matter how fancy.There are a lot of video cameras. Some obvious, some not.The front door has a fancy magnetic lock, and a redundent cross-bar lock, and the hinges have nice action (counterweights?) but even so it's extremely thick.[/sblock]There are two elevators, one apparently stops at odd floors, the other at even.As Diego contemplates whether he can rig the right elevator to open* the left elevator opens to reveal a black man in his thirties in an elegant tailored suit. His jet black skin seems to be horribly disfigured, it's completely covered with an uneven growth of twisted barbs.Diego, Gentlemen, Lady. The man has warm, resonant voice very much at odds with his unpleasant appearance. I had thought you might have come by to visit me, but looking at which elevator you're interested in perhaps you're considering visiting someone else?[sblock=*]This would be quite tricky. Hacking a system like this without preperation would require some sort of computer, even a fast one might take hours to brute force the system. Getting physical entry to the panel won't help much since the computers controlling the elevator are almost certainly located elsewhere.With preperation (access to a sample data card, or specs for the system) things might be different.And, of course, there are the video cameras. Since Sucker came down to see you it's probable that you're being monitored.[/sblock]</blockquote>
