[20:13] <@BradGM> +++Location: Inquisitorial Safe House 594-34-F, New Haven, Planet Modra, Hazeroth Abyss.+++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++2117 Local time+++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++ Spinlop and Mockingbird discussed the garrison surrounding the Eldar device, the planetary agent having collected a few bits of information, but still left place to doubt. The palish man also arranged for forged documents and identification papers.
[20:13] <@BradGM> Reconnaissance was needed, and everyone had an idea, from Grendel meeting the Thulian Tech-Priest, to disguise themselves as officials or as a member of the Chaliced Commissariat. Mira, as the most skilled in such operations, suggested a dry run to better pin-point the location of the prize.
[20:14] <@BradGM> After being taken to Spinlop’s house to get some equipment and the many notes taken concerning the Arbites/PBI/’Police’/Michalo gang/Brannon Gang/mutant/Eldar raids and attack while the others read, accumulating what they could about the world’s culture, mentality and politics.
[20:14] <@BradGM> Spinlop returns after sundown , giving the notes to Grendel for study while he waits for Mira to go take her to the garrison.+++
[20:14] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:15] * +Mira_Atella looks through the book a bit before they leave, memorizing some of the information in case she has to talk her way out of anything.
[20:16] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Well, Miss nifty, when you're ready.."
[20:17] * +Mira_Atella nods to him and puts the book under arm while she slips the magnoculars over her head.
[20:19] * +Grendel` flips through the papers given to him, concentrating on the Eldar raiding, looking for any pattern or reason behind them.
[20:20] <@BradGM> Spinlop leaves with Mira

[20:25] <@BradGM> Grendel, you search, but seems to always manage to get the same report about 3 mutants of a bridge at night.
[20:27] * +Grendel` frowns, thinking he needs to adjust his cogitator unit as he attempts to study the reports.
[20:30] <+Grendel`> "I am not finding any real pattern behind the Xenos attacks."
[20:32] * +Elana walks over, taking a glance at the parchments left for the Priest Mechanicus to study. 1"Perhaps there is none. Who could say how the foul xenos think? Their alien minds are twisted."
[20:34] * +Grendel` nods. "Still, we should remember to return these paper to the Inquisitor. Perhaps one of the Xenos hunters will be able to make more sense."
[20:37] * +Grendel` consults his chrono, before turning to the psyker. "Do you have any suggestions for accomplishing the mission?"

[20:43] <@BradGM> Another 70 minutes passes before Spinlop returns with a woman dressed similar as Elana and mira, wearing a small elegant feathered rounded hat and carrying a small leather case.
[20:44] * +Grendel` glances up at the newcomer, his face expressionless as he stands.
[20:45] * +Elana tenses, mustering the unknown visitor carefully.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Spinlop "As our..situation is perticular, I thought we could save time and get those photographs done as soon as possible."
[20:47] <@BradGM> Spilop "Ah..this is..Frela Mafic, a friend of mine from the Collegium."
[20:47] * +Grendel` glances around at the others, the mechadendrites slowing. "I see."
[20:49] * +Elana relaxes somewhat as the purpose of the woman is revealed. She responds with a simple nod.
[20:50] <+Grendel`> "What do you need?"
[20:51] <@BradGM> The woman looks as you as well. "Well, get a white blanket, that stoll over there, and we can begin..but you might need more than some papers to ass along just fine."
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((*pass)
[20:53] * +Grendel` picks up the stool, looking over at Spinlop for the white blanket. "Oh? What else may we need?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> Frela "The others? Nothing much. You on the toher hand need a compelte makeover; You stand out."
[20:55] * Meat2 (~Meatham@c-98-227-18-153.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:56] * +Elana eyes the Tech-Priest. 1"Are there not others like him on this world? From the Cult of Mars?"
[20:57] * +Grendel` searches his cogitator banks for the phrase makeover. "Of course I do. Not everyone can become one of the TechPriests of the Omnissiah."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Frela "Oh there's plenty of them to see if you don't leave the manufactoriums that is."
[21:00] <+Elana> "I see. Is there any chance we could ... are your metallic limbs detachable, perhaps?"
[21:01] <+Grendel`> "The are the blessing of the Omnissiah."
[21:02] * +Elana 's gaze hardens. 1"It is an honour to suffer in the service of Him on Earth. It may be necessary for the success of our mission."
[21:04] * Meatham (~Meatham@c-98-227-18-153.hsd1.in.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:05] <@BradGM> Frela "I can always make a manufactorium ID card for you, just you'd better be good at finding reasons why you're outside taking a stroll."
[21:06] * +Grendel` shakes his head. "They are not removable without rituals and the appropriate Omnissiah-blessed implements."
[21:08] * +Elana seems to hesitate for a moment, as if contemplating a somewhat less ritualistic way of removal, but finally decides to relent.
[21:09] * +Grendel` nods to the woman. "It is quite unusual for one to leave the manufactorium. I will set my cogitator-engines to task in coming up with a reason."
[21:11] <+Elana> "You could be looking for workforce, perhaps. Or resources. An errant?"
[21:12] <+Grendel`> "Evaluating the populace at large for replacement servitors may work. Or work against me. The response is sometimes irrational."
[21:14] * +Elana slightly raises her brows at the comment.
[21:16] <@BradGM> Frela "Well, if you can talk about it while I take your picture, pelase.?"
[21:16] * +Grendel` shrugs and then nods to the woman. "Of course," he then puts the stool where she wants, helping with the sheet as well.
[21:17] * +Elana attempts to assist, though clearly lacking experience in pictography and thus taking a few moments to understand where the blanket is supposed to go.
[21:20] <+Grendel`> ((Toga toga toga!))
[21:20] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps a survey of the city."
[21:21] <+Elana> ((:P))
[21:22] <+Elana> "I assume it would help if you would have more information about the workings of these Tech-Priests." 6Her eyes wander towards Frela and Spinlop.
[21:23] <@BradGM> Spinlop "not much to know really; they oversee the manufactorium, rarely make public apparitions. They are more frequent in the Capital, but that's on the toher side of the world."
[21:24] * +Grendel` nods. "Not surprising that they are rare. A survey of the city may work well enough."
[21:30] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps the Xenos raiders have something to do with the nebula."
[21:31] <@BradGM> Spinlop "The Graset Nebula has always been there and we never ahd xeno attacks before."
[21:32] * +Grendel` shrugs. "Just a thought."
[21:34] * +Grendel` makes his mechadendrites sit stil long enough for a picture to be taken.
[21:37] <@BradGM> Frela takes your picture while spinlop leaves to get mira back.
[21:38] * +Grendel` takes the time to idly go through the various reports.
[21:41] * +Elana proceeds to take Grendel's place on the stool, staring at the camera with a grim facial expression. It could end up looking almost like one of those data-picts that local police and Arbites take of criminals before processing.
[21:41] <+Grendel`> ((Bad when the tech-priest takes a better picture :) ))
[21:42] <@BradGM> Frela "A little more heart, with that hair cut and your grim face, people will think you ran form the convent."
[21:44] * +Grendel` doesn't seem to react as he studies the reports, but his mechadendrites seem to be more lively.
[21:46] <@BradGM> Grendel, roll search
[21:47] <+Grendel`> !perc 35
[21:47] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 35% (or Lower) : 04 38%, Fail ]
[21:47] <+Grendel`> ((oh come on! Its taunting me! Do I get the +10 from earlier? :) ))
[21:48] * +Elana blinks at Frela's comment, for a moment inclined to respond with some sort of comment, though apparently failing to find the right words. She manages some sort of smile, though it still looks somewhat sardonic.
[21:48] <@BradGM> ((not this time))
[21:48] <+Elana> ((I blame the machine spirit of the pictograph :P))
[21:49] <+Grendel`> ((Its not that I take a bad picture. Its that the machine spirit does))
[21:49] <@BradGM> (9heh))
[21:50] <@BradGM> ((not enough sacred augent on the lens))
[21:50] <@BradGM> Spinlop returns with Mira.
[21:51] * +Grendel` stands, looking over the assassin as she enters.
[21:51] * +Mira_Atella sets the map down on the table with her notes that are mostly understandable.
[21:52] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Garisson
[21:52] <+Elana> "May I move again?" 6The Sister's mouth does, barely, but the rest of her remains frozen for the moment.
[21:52] <@BradGM> Frela "Yes, I'm done."
[21:53] <@BradGM> Frela "does she needs her picture taken as well?"
[21:53] <@BradGM> Frela motions to mira
[21:53] <+Grendel`> "It cannot hurt, though she may wish to change or prepare first."
[21:54] * +Grendel` studies the map, considering.
[21:54] * +Mira_Atella nods to the photographer and moves to the setup, adjusting her hair and jacket slightly.
[21:54] * +Elana allows herself to relax slightly, getting up again. 1"What did you find out?"
[21:54] * +Mira_Atella takes a seat.
[21:54] <@BradGM> She takes your pictures and packs it, alongside everyone else's plate into her bag.
[21:55] <@BradGM> Spinlop "How long before you can get the papers Frela?"
[21:55] <@BradGM> Frela "A couple of days at least..you'Re my freind Gettok, but a few more hurried customers paid cash upfront."
[21:56] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Anyone I know?"
[21:56] <@BradGM> Frela "no, except if you know memeber sof the michalo gang."
[21:56] <@BradGM> Spinlop escorts Frela to the door and locks behind him.
[21:57] * +Mira_Atella goes back to the table, pointing at the various parts of the map. "We'll have to go in from the training field. Any other approach is heavily watched by footmen and machines."
[21:58] <@BradGM> ((Sentinels, actually: parlow calls it walking machines))
[21:58] <+Grendel`> "What kind of machines?"
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> "He called them walking machines, it sounded like sentinels."
[21:59] <+Mira_Atella> "Heavily armed. If they catch us, we'd be done for."
[22:00] <+Elana> "I suppose we may have to expect combat servitors and automated turrets as well. The Governor is likely to have placed the tainted relic into the custody of his best men."
[22:00] <+Elana> ((scratch relic, make that artifact))
[22:00] * +Grendel` nods, studying the map. "Is there any indication where the xenos artifact is?"
[22:00] <+Mira_Atella> "There wasn't any indication of where it is being kept inside the garrison, so that is still a problem."
[22:02] <+Elana> "The lower levels, most likely. Under heavy guard and behind thick walls of ferrocrete."
[22:04] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps. I think we can leave out the barracks?"
[22:05] <@BradGM> ((all those men, the perfect defense!))
[22:05] <+Mira_Atella> "From the map, and what I could see, it's all a single level. That will be helpful."
[22:06] <+Mira_Atella> "The time we go in, most of them will be asleep. So yes, we should avoid the barracks."
[22:06] <+Elana> "If the map is accurate..." 6The Sister's voice reveals her doubts. 1"With such an unholy item, it might well be that there are more secrets on this base."
[22:07] <+Grendel`> "The munitorium? That should be rather secure."
[22:09] <+Mira_Atella> "Depending on how paranoid they are, it could be in the commander's house as well. We're really guessing at this point."
[22:10] <+Elana> "Very well. When and how should we penetrate the facility?"
[22:10] <@BradGM> ((Oh- and I forgot to add the 4 watch towers at each corner, with a closed searchlight and a couple of guards.))
[22:10] <+Elana> ((and the German guards with their Schaeferhunds))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((Vat? Shnell!))
[22:11] <+Grendel`> "I think we can agree the mess is unlikely?"
[22:11] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll need to enter through the training field on the east."
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((I know little else))
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> "There's a bit of wooded area there before the first fence."
[22:12] <+Elana> "Light equipment, I presume?"
[22:12] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((modded the mpa))
[22:14] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to be as invisible and silent as possible."
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((From waht you know, rifles, dogs, light flak armour, some grenades.))
[22:15] * +Grendel` nods, studying the map. "If we come from the east we should be able to investigate the 3 most likely spots."
[22:16] <+Mira_Atella> "Right. THere's another training field to the north, but it seems the less useful option."
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((south))
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((The Garisson is the northern corner))
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "South, not North." Turns the map, looking at her notes again.
[22:17] * +Grendel` points to the Commander's House, the Munitorium and the repair bay.
[22:18] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:19] <+Grendel`> ((Would we know what the average munitorium/quartermaster building would have? I'm guessing that's the armory basically?))
[22:21] <@BradGM> ((yes, like Munitorium D to you))
[22:22] <+Grendel`> "The Munitorium would be more secure, but the repair bay would have the materials needed."
[22:23] <+Elana> "We should assume the repair bay, then. The heretics are likely to have stepped up security there."
[22:24] <+Mira_Atella> "Once we get past the fences, and close enough, I should be able to sneak around a bit and listen to what they are saying. So we aren't randomly going to buildings and increasing our chances of being caught."
[22:25] * +Grendel` nods. "When we go in, perhaps we will see the security. So we are agreed to go in secretly, instead of attempting to bluff our way in?"
[22:25] <+Mira_Atella> "If the security is increased, bluffing would not likely work."
[22:26] * +Elana nods, seeing the reason in the assassin's argument.
[22:27] * +Grendel` nods. "Will we be able to get a vehicle close enough?"
[22:28] <+Elana> "I also assume we require light clothing. Something less ... obstructive." 6The Sister looks at her dress.
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "The training fields are about 5 miles long each. So while we can likely get to the first fence without an issue in a vehicle, but that's still a long way."
[22:30] <+Grendel`> "Hopefully the xenos artifact is light enough that we may carry it back to the vehicle."
[22:32] <@BradGM> SPinlop "WOn't a vehicle create noise and unwanted curiousity from the Troopers?"
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> "If not, we'll have to figure something out fast on the spot."
[22:32] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:33] * +Mira_Atella nods to Spinlop. "We'll need to park it a ways from the outter fence, so that's probably another mile on top of the 5 of the field."
[22:35] <+Elana> "The vehicle cannot traverse the field, no?"
[22:35] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Perhaps we can proceed on foot and have a vehicule waiting for us north of the Garisson to facilitate our escape."
[22:35] <+Mira_Atella> "The outter fences surround the fields."
[22:36] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:38] * +Grendel` turns to Spinlop. "You will be able to acquire the vehicle?"
[22:39] <+Mira_Atella> "I agree about a vehicle to the north. We don't want to go out the same way we came in, in case someone notices a hole in the fence, and we aren't going to want to carry the artifact 5 or more miles out."
[22:39] <@BradGM> Spinlop "I can arrange a vehicle, yes."
[22:40] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll also have the assistance of Spinlop's contact that gave us the map and information."
[22:41] <+Mira_Atella> "He seems very resourceful, so he could be a huge help."
[22:41] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:44] <@BradGM> Spinlop "I am able to get the services of a few other qualified individuals if you require it."
[22:45] <@BradGM> Spinlop "but with the current events, they may not wish to be too much in the open, as they would say."
[22:45] * +Grendel` considers, his mechadendrites moving slowly. "Too many may tip our hand, but we do not know what exactly we may be facing."
[22:46] <+Elana> "Rest assured, I do not believe any of us wants to."
[22:47] <+Mira_Atella> "I agree. This also doesn't have to happen tomorrow night. We have time if we need it."
[22:48] <+Elana> "We should not wait too long"6, the Sister warns. 1"If we do, they may move it again - or worse, unlock the unholy secrets of this device. Who knows what fate would await this world should these amateurs be allowed to continue with their unsanctioned work?"
[22:48] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:49] * +Grendel` nods as well, the mechadendrites waving agitatedly at the thought of the idiots unlocking the xenos machine.
[22:50] <+Mira_Atella> "We can find a happy medium where we do this timely, but also don't rush. Getting caught would likely mean death."
[22:51] <+Grendel`> "Of course."
[22:51] <+Elana> "Which might spell doom for the entire world ... yes, I agree. We should not tarry, but neither should we strike unprepared."
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((So take your time...but amke it fast!))
[22:54] <@BradGM> Spinlop "We would at least require your papers, so if there is any widespread search, you will have a cover story and alter ego created."
[22:54] <+Elana> ((I learned that in Ecclesiarchy Oxymorons 101 :P))
[22:55] <+Mira_Atella> "Right, so I know she said a few days, but if we need to pay her more to get them faster.."
[22:55] <+Mira_Atella> "I think it would be money well spent to ensure we aren't taking too long."
[22:55] <+Grendel`> ((well, we want it to happen as quickly as possible. But if something comes up tomorrow that makes it hard to do, we're not going to rush it and risk failure. We can always try again the next day))
[22:56] <+Grendel`> "Depends on the prices."
[22:57] <+Mira_Atella> "If we find that out, it will be good."
[22:57] <+Mira_Atella> "If things do fall in to place and we don't have the papers, we could be stuck as well."
[22:57] <@BradGM> Spinlop "That is something I can organise, I shall call her tomorrow."
[22:59] <+Grendel`> "So it sounds like we will go once we have the papers?"
[22:59] <+Mira_Atella> "Unless something comes up, I think that's a plan."
[23:00] <+Elana> "... and any additional equipment we may need. Bodygloves, or at least sturdy clothing with trousers and field boots."
[23:00] * +Mira_Atella looks at the box of items she got before, "I have what I need mostly, I didn't want to pick for each of you as well"
[23:01] <@BradGM> Spinlop "It is clothing easy to acquire at any stores."
[23:02] * +Elana nods, satisfied at the prospect. 1"We have weapons that should ... blend in with local models. The mission will be untraceable, provided everything goes as planned."
[23:02] <+Mira_Atella> "As long as we don't all go to the same store, that could be suspicious."
[23:04] <+Grendel`> "Then it seems we have a plan."
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Definitely one in transition. A lot of variables still, but at least we have a solid base."
[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm surprised no on has mentioned how much she's talking since she usually just gives people dirty looks from the corner of the room lol ))
[23:06] <@BradGM> ((well, you're gonna do the sneaky stuff, and it's your thing))
[23:08] <+Elana> (("slitting throats is the only time she feels truly alive"))
[23:08] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[23:08] <+Grendel`> ((Yeah. We don't want to consult the SoB on breaking in. The first words out of her mouth would be "Heavy bolters"))
[23:09] <@BradGM> ((or flmaer))
[23:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( hah that's what I just thought, flamer. ))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((:D))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((hey, she's been holding back so far ... more or less))
[23:11] <@BradGM> ((only because of lack of flamer))
[23:12] <+Grendel`> ((So we need, dark clothing and sturdy boots, and papers incase we get questioned, and maybe more people..is that it?))
[23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( vehicle, or two ))
[23:13] <+Elana> ((I vote for a Leman Russ))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((maybe some sort of bag to carry the device))
[23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( hey, he's hinting at the size of it, woo ))
[23:16] <+Elana> ((he didn't say how large a bag ... :P))
[23:16] <+Grendel`> ((heh))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((I already told you the size))
[23:17] <@BradGM> ((a long time ago))
[23:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( I might have not been here ))
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((Like a computer tower))
[23:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[23:19] <+Grendel`> ((ah, had forgotten that))
[23:19] <+Grendel`> "Then we are all agreed?"
[23:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( funny thinking of that.. the new computer I got after my laptop fried in the blackout doesn't have a tower. It's like a Mac where the monitor is the computer ))
[23:20] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[23:21] <+Elana> "Very well. What is our next step? Clothing?"
[23:22] * +Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Quit)
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((Grim had to leave))
[23:22] <+Mira_Atella> (( he was here to begin with? ))
[23:22] <+Grendel`> ((That's obvious a Dark Age of Technology type of computer))
[23:23] <@BradGM> It is about 3 AM local time

MIRA GETTING INFORMATION
[20:23] <BradGM> SPinlop takes you an hour out of town into the dark, moonlid countryside. The roads are twisting and turning, and you even see a large waterfall plunging into a deep ravine.
[20:23] <Mira_Atella> *watches the scenery as they go* (( Is the waterfall close enough to the base that it would cover some noise? ))
[20:23] <BradGM> Spinlop "I have hired someone I know to keep watch over the garisson. He is the source of my knowledge about the location of the device."
[20:24] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[20:24] <BradGM> ((if you were outside, yes, but not much, it is still some distance from the small rest area))
[20:25] <BradGM> Spinlop "He is named Parlow, and I have used him in a few other investigation in the past; he thinks of me as a curiosity collector, which is not a total lie, but he knows nothing of my..currrent employment. I would prefer it stays like that."
[20:25] <Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[20:26] <Mira_Atella> "What does he think he's watching the garrison for?"
[20:27] <BradGM> Spinlop "The device of course. I do not hire anyone for my investigations, they must have a certain degree of belief in the God-Emperor and stick by it's principles."
[20:28] <Mira_Atella> *nods and looks back out the window*
[20:30] <BradGM> You then see a fence emcampment with watchtowers and foot patrols, some with dogs, all around the perimeter. You drive past it.
[20:31] <BradGM> Spinlop "I shall leave you near Parlow is hidden. You should be able to locate him and discuss strategy. When Would you need a pick-up?"
[20:33] <Mira_Atella> "2 hours should be enough time to see any patterns in their patrol and gaps."
[20:34] <BradGM> SPinlop "Very well."
[20:35] <BradGM> SPinlop slows down and stops in a wooden area in some deserted country road "Parlow should be a mile or two in the woods, hidden somewhere. Emperor protects you miss Nifty."
[20:36] <Mira_Atella> "Make it 3 hours then so the walk doesn't eat up too much of my time." She nods as she gets out of the car and begins walking.
[20:38] <BradGM> Roll silent move and/or conceal
[20:39] <Mira_Atella> (( silent move ))
[20:41] <BradGM> you advance into the woods, silent as the tomb, roll awareness (visual) -20
[20:44] <BradGM> You advance, but see no sign of Parlow, until you ehar the familiar sound of a revolver getting cocked and the cold iron of the barrel behind your back.
[20:44] <BradGM> "Quite a night for a stroll ain't it?"
[20:45] <Mira_Atella> *stops walking* "Some of the birds in the area only come out at night, best time for them."
[20:46] <BradGM> "Birds huh? Dangerous stuff, lil' missy all alone at night in the woods..there's bears around you know?"
[20:48] <Mira_Atella> "I'm not too worried if your aim with that gun is decent."
[20:49] <BradGM> You get grabbed by the sohoulder and quickly turned around, only to see that youR,e facing a single man wearing a civilian hat (As per his silouhette in the darkness) rather than an PDF patrol.
[20:50] <BradGM> "You better scram dollface, I'd hate to see that pretty mug get busted over something as silly as birds."
[20:51] <Mira_Atella> *doesn't appear surprised* "I have some more watching to do first, I was told I might find someone out here that could help."
[20:52] <BradGM> "Other watching huh? What a freind recommended the spot?"
[20:53] <Mira_Atella> "Book store owner where I picked this up." She shakes the book in her hand. "He was interested in what I could find out here."
[20:55] <BradGM> "Oh really? not really his style to put a woman in danger..." *He lowers his gun and pocekts it* "..Or did you mean he send you here?"
[20:56] <Mira_Atella> "This was more my idea, but he did point me in this direction. I take it you're Parlow?"
[20:57] <BradGM> Parlow "Yeah, Milip Parlow, and who might you be?"
[20:57] <Mira_Atella> "Mira, nice to meet you." She extends a hand towards him.
[20:58] <BradGM> Parlow "Mira eh, Lovely name, sounds from far."
[20:58] <BradGM> Parlow "follow me, let's get inside."
[20:59] <Mira_Atella> *nods and begins to follow him*
[21:00] <BradGM> He take you toward what you though was a large rock, but is instead a car, camouflaged under Imperila Guard-style camo netting.
[21:04] <BradGM> Parlow "Sorry about the mess, I've been here a few days already.."
[21:05] <Mira_Atella> "If you saw the place we rented to stay, you wouldn't be concerned. This is spotless in comparison."
[21:06] <BradGM> Parlow "I'm sorry to hear it. Armsec?"
[21:07] <BradGM> *He passes you a flask.*
[21:07] <Mira_Atella> "Thank you." She takes a sip from the flask and hands it back, "That must not be easy to get hold of, you certainly seem resourceful."
[21:08] <BradGM> Parlow "Well, let's jsut say I got a few freinds in the right palces."
[21:09] <Mira_Atella> "Always a good thing."
[21:09] <BradGM> Parlow "So what's your intrest in all this?"
[21:11] <Mira_Atella> "Spinlop and I have a mutual friend that's a collector and interested in a specific item. Sort of a favor type thing to do this for him."
[21:11] <BradGM> Parlow "right, and you'Ve come to touch base and see who's between you and it right?"
[21:12] <Mira_Atella> *nods* "I don't like being surprised very much, so I wanted a preview to help with planning."
[21:15] <BradGM> Parlow "Well, here's what I've got; most is working from memory back when I was stationned in there..." *He takes a small lamp-pack to get some lightand beigns to draw a crude plan
[21:15] <BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Garisson
[21:16] <Mira_Atella> *watches as he draws up the map*
[21:20] <BradGM> APrlow "now, this is just the inner permimeter; the base itself keeps going 5 miles to the South and 5 miles East. mostly training area, obstacle course, firing range and the like. TherE's another fence behond that. All taht area is patroleld by foot, vehgicle and I even saw a few of those walking machines from the Capital with their spotlight at ngiht."
[21:21] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[21:24] <BradGM> Parlow "Inside the inner perimeter, from what I've seen, a few foot patrols and little else, with the barracks so close by and a Regiment sleeping close, they're not actin too worried."
[21:26] <BradGM> Parlow "but they still got the fence well guarded, at least entry from there would be ahrd, I'm thinking getting in from the training fields, and seneak in from the barracks or quartermaster's office and get in from there."
[21:27] <Mira_Atella> *nods* "The field is what I was thinking as well."
[21:31] <BradGM> Parlow "I know they changed the training grounds 5 eyars ago, so I can't know for sure what's behond the outer fence, if only a few patches of forest wiht ltos of flat fields, perfect for marching."
[21:32] <Mira_Atella> "I'll have to adjust my gear slightly, but that shouldn't be a problem."
[21:33] <BradGM> Parlow "You should be all right; it's those walking machines that I'm worried about. They got a gun on thse that I've seen on a chimera!"
[21:34] <BradGM> Parlow "Getting hit by one of those won't forgive."
[21:34] <Mira_Atella> "That's definitely something to avoid."
[21:35] <BradGM> ((dunno if there was somehtign else you wanted to know or do..))
[21:36] <Mira_Atella> (( just going to have her watch the patrols for a bit unless he already has that info ))
[21:37] <BradGM> ((He does; patrol rotation is every 3 hours, therE's a manned patrol every 30 minutes or so at any point in the outer perimeter, and the Sentinels passes every hour or so with thier searchlights, scanning the horiszon))
[21:38] <Mira_Atella> *makes several notes on the map in shorthand*
[21:38] <BradGM> Parlow "And that's what I've go."
[21:39] <Mira_Atella> *looks at her chrono and nods* Spinlop will be back by the time I walk back. Thank you for all of your help.
[21:40] <BradGM> Parlow "My pleasure Mira. When you amke a run for it, let me know, I cna always be of help, sicne we are being paid form the same pocket at any rate."
[21:40] <Mira_Atella> "It is likely to be tomorrow night. I'll have him contact you if anything changes."
[21:41] <BradGM> Parlow "I'll wait for his call then."
[21:41] <Mira_Atella> *leaves the vehicle and begins walking back towards the meeting spot*
[21:41] <BradGM> SPinlop arrives after a few moment's wait and you get driven back to the appartment.
[21:44] <BradGM> Spinlop "Everything went smoothly I presume?"
[21:45] <Mira_Atella> "Yes. There will be a few gear changes, but nothing big. He also offered to help when we make our move."
[21:45] <BradGM> Spinlop "No surprises here. Parlow was a man of action, made to get his ahdns dirty and take a punch."
[21:46] <Mira_Atella> "The information he had is definitely helpful. I didn't need to look much myself, he had me completely informed."
[21:47] <BradGM> Spinlop "Good to know he's worth his price, as always."
[21:49] <BradGM> Spinlop "I have one of my freind taking pictures of your companions for your identity papers. She should still be there when we arrive, so at elast this will fasten the process."
[21:49] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[21:50] <BradGM> You drive back to the appartment in the dead of the ngiht.

[20:13] <@BradGM> +++2117 Local time+++
[20:13] <@BradGM> +++ Spinlop and Mockingbird discussed the garrison surrounding the Eldar device, the planetary agent having collected a few bits of information, but still left place to doubt. The palish man also arranged for forged documents and identification papers.
[20:13] <@BradGM> Reconnaissance was needed, and everyone had an idea, from Grendel meeting the Thulian Tech-Priest, to disguise themselves as officials or as a member of the Chaliced Commissariat. Mira, as the most skilled in such operations, suggested a dry run to better pin-point the location of the prize.
[20:14] <@BradGM> After being taken to Spinlop’s house to get some equipment and the many notes taken concerning the Arbites/PBI/’Police’/Michalo gang/Brannon Gang/mutant/Eldar raids and attack while the others read, accumulating what they could about the world’s culture, mentality and politics.
[20:14] <@BradGM> Spinlop returns after sundown , giving the notes to Grendel for study while he waits for Mira to go take her to the garrison.+++
[20:14] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++
[20:15] * +Mira_Atella looks through the book a bit before they leave, memorizing some of the information in case she has to talk her way out of anything.
[20:16] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Well, Miss nifty, when you're ready.."
[20:17] * +Mira_Atella nods to him and puts the book under arm while she slips the magnoculars over her head.
[20:19] * +Grendel` flips through the papers given to him, concentrating on the Eldar raiding, looking for any pattern or reason behind them.

[20:27] * +Grendel` frowns, thinking he needs to adjust his cogitator unit as he attempts to study the reports.
[20:30] <+Grendel`> "I am not finding any real pattern behind the Xenos attacks."
[20:32] * +Elana walks over, taking a glance at the parchments left for the Priest Mechanicus to study. 1"Perhaps there is none. Who could say how the foul xenos think? Their alien minds are twisted."
[20:34] * +Grendel` nods. "Still, we should remember to return these paper to the Inquisitor. Perhaps one of the Xenos hunters will be able to make more sense."
[20:37] * +Grendel` consults his chrono, before turning to the psyker. "Do you have any suggestions for accomplishing the mission?"

[20:43] <@BradGM> Another 70 minutes passes before Spinlop returns with a woman dressed similar as Elana and mira, wearing a small elegant feathered rounded hat and carrying a small leather case.
[20:44] * +Grendel` glances up at the newcomer, his face expressionless as he stands.
[20:45] * +Elana tenses, mustering the unknown visitor carefully.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Spinlop "As our..situation is perticular, I thought we could save time and get those photographs done as soon as possible."
[20:47] <@BradGM> Spilop "Ah..this is..Frela Mafic, a friend of mine from the Collegium."
[20:47] * +Grendel` glances around at the others, the mechadendrites slowing. "I see."
[20:49] * +Elana relaxes somewhat as the purpose of the woman is revealed. She responds with a simple nod.
[20:50] <+Grendel`> "What do you need?"
[20:51] <@BradGM> The woman looks as you as well. "Well, get a white blanket, that stoll over there, and we can begin..but you might need more than some papers to ass along just fine."
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((*pass)
[20:53] * +Grendel` picks up the stool, looking over at Spinlop for the white blanket. "Oh? What else may we need?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> Frela "The others? Nothing much. You on the toher hand need a compelte makeover; You stand out."
[20:55] * Meat2 (~Meatham@c-98-227-18-153.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:56] * +Elana eyes the Tech-Priest. 1"Are there not others like him on this world? From the Cult of Mars?"
[20:57] * +Grendel` searches his cogitator banks for the phrase makeover. "Of course I do. Not everyone can become one of the TechPriests of the Omnissiah."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Frela "Oh there's plenty of them to see if you don't leave the manufactoriums that is."
[21:00] <+Elana> "I see. Is there any chance we could ... are your metallic limbs detachable, perhaps?"
[21:01] <+Grendel`> "The are the blessing of the Omnissiah."
[21:02] * +Elana 's gaze hardens. 1"It is an honour to suffer in the service of Him on Earth. It may be necessary for the success of our mission."
[21:04] * Meatham (~Meatham@c-98-227-18-153.hsd1.in.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:05] <@BradGM> Frela "I can always make a manufactorium ID card for you, just you'd better be good at finding reasons why you're outside taking a stroll."
[21:06] * +Grendel` shakes his head. "They are not removable without rituals and the appropriate Omnissiah-blessed implements."
[21:08] * +Elana seems to hesitate for a moment, as if contemplating a somewhat less ritualistic way of removal, but finally decides to relent.
[21:09] * +Grendel` nods to the woman. "It is quite unusual for one to leave the manufactorium. I will set my cogitator-engines to task in coming up with a reason."
[21:11] <+Elana> "You could be looking for workforce, perhaps. Or resources. An errant?"
[21:12] <+Grendel`> "Evaluating the populace at large for replacement servitors may work. Or work against me. The response is sometimes irrational."
[21:14] * +Elana slightly raises her brows at the comment.
[21:16] <@BradGM> Frela "Well, if you can talk about it while I take your picture, pelase.?"
[21:16] * +Grendel` shrugs and then nods to the woman. "Of course," he then puts the stool where she wants, helping with the sheet as well.
[21:17] * +Elana attempts to assist, though clearly lacking experience in pictography and thus taking a few moments to understand where the blanket is supposed to go.
[21:20] <+Grendel`> ((Toga toga toga!))
[21:20] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps a survey of the city."
[21:21] <+Elana> ((:P))
[21:22] <+Elana> "I assume it would help if you would have more information about the workings of these Tech-Priests." 6Her eyes wander towards Frela and Spinlop.
[21:23] <@BradGM> Spinlop "not much to know really; they oversee the manufactorium, rarely make public apparitions. They are more frequent in the Capital, but that's on the toher side of the world."
[21:24] * +Grendel` nods. "Not surprising that they are rare. A survey of the city may work well enough."
[21:30] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps the Xenos raiders have something to do with the nebula."
[21:31] <@BradGM> Spinlop "The Graset Nebula has always been there and we never ahd xeno attacks before."
[21:32] * +Grendel` shrugs. "Just a thought."
[21:34] * +Grendel` makes his mechadendrites sit stil long enough for a picture to be taken.
[21:37] <@BradGM> Frela takes your picture while spinlop leaves to get mira back.
[21:38] * +Grendel` takes the time to idly go through the various reports.
[21:41] * +Elana proceeds to take Grendel's place on the stool, staring at the camera with a grim facial expression. It could end up looking almost like one of those data-picts that local police and Arbites take of criminals before processing.
[21:41] <+Grendel`> ((Bad when the tech-priest takes a better picture :) ))
[21:42] <@BradGM> Frela "A little more heart, with that hair cut and your grim face, people will think you ran form the convent."
[21:44] * +Grendel` doesn't seem to react as he studies the reports, but his mechadendrites seem to be more lively.
[21:46] <@BradGM> Grendel, roll search

[21:47] <+DiceServitor> Grendel` rolls [ 35% (or Lower) : 04 38%, Fail ]
[21:47] <+Grendel`> ((oh come on! Its taunting me! Do I get the +10 from earlier? :) ))
[21:48] * +Elana blinks at Frela's comment, for a moment inclined to respond with some sort of comment, though apparently failing to find the right words. She manages some sort of smile, though it still looks somewhat sardonic.
[21:48] <@BradGM> ((not this time))
[21:48] <+Elana> ((I blame the machine spirit of the pictograph :P))
[21:49] <+Grendel`> ((Its not that I take a bad picture. Its that the machine spirit does))
[21:49] <@BradGM> (9heh))
[21:50] <@BradGM> ((not enough sacred augent on the lens))
[21:50] <@BradGM> Spinlop returns with Mira.
[21:51] * +Grendel` stands, looking over the assassin as she enters.
[21:51] * +Mira_Atella sets the map down on the table with her notes that are mostly understandable.
[21:52] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Garisson
[21:52] <+Elana> "May I move again?" 6The Sister's mouth does, barely, but the rest of her remains frozen for the moment.
[21:52] <@BradGM> Frela "Yes, I'm done."
[21:53] <@BradGM> Frela "does she needs her picture taken as well?"
[21:53] <@BradGM> Frela motions to mira
[21:53] <+Grendel`> "It cannot hurt, though she may wish to change or prepare first."
[21:54] * +Grendel` studies the map, considering.
[21:54] * +Mira_Atella nods to the photographer and moves to the setup, adjusting her hair and jacket slightly.
[21:54] * +Elana allows herself to relax slightly, getting up again. 1"What did you find out?"
[21:54] * +Mira_Atella takes a seat.
[21:54] <@BradGM> She takes your pictures and packs it, alongside everyone else's plate into her bag.
[21:55] <@BradGM> Spinlop "How long before you can get the papers Frela?"
[21:55] <@BradGM> Frela "A couple of days at least..you'Re my freind Gettok, but a few more hurried customers paid cash upfront."
[21:56] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Anyone I know?"
[21:56] <@BradGM> Frela "no, except if you know memeber sof the michalo gang."
[21:56] <@BradGM> Spinlop escorts Frela to the door and locks behind him.
[21:57] * +Mira_Atella goes back to the table, pointing at the various parts of the map. "We'll have to go in from the training field. Any other approach is heavily watched by footmen and machines."
[21:58] <@BradGM> ((Sentinels, actually: parlow calls it walking machines))
[21:58] <+Grendel`> "What kind of machines?"
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> "He called them walking machines, it sounded like sentinels."
[21:59] <+Mira_Atella> "Heavily armed. If they catch us, we'd be done for."
[22:00] <+Elana> "I suppose we may have to expect combat servitors and automated turrets as well. The Governor is likely to have placed the tainted relic into the custody of his best men."
[22:00] <+Elana> ((scratch relic, make that artifact))
[22:00] * +Grendel` nods, studying the map. "Is there any indication where the xenos artifact is?"
[22:00] <+Mira_Atella> "There wasn't any indication of where it is being kept inside the garrison, so that is still a problem."
[22:02] <+Elana> "The lower levels, most likely. Under heavy guard and behind thick walls of ferrocrete."
[22:04] <+Grendel`> "Perhaps. I think we can leave out the barracks?"
[22:05] <@BradGM> ((all those men, the perfect defense!))
[22:05] <+Mira_Atella> "From the map, and what I could see, it's all a single level. That will be helpful."
[22:06] <+Mira_Atella> "The time we go in, most of them will be asleep. So yes, we should avoid the barracks."
[22:06] <+Elana> "If the map is accurate..." 6The Sister's voice reveals her doubts. 1"With such an unholy item, it might well be that there are more secrets on this base."
[22:07] <+Grendel`> "The munitorium? That should be rather secure."
[22:09] <+Mira_Atella> "Depending on how paranoid they are, it could be in the commander's house as well. We're really guessing at this point."
[22:10] <+Elana> "Very well. When and how should we penetrate the facility?"
[22:10] <@BradGM> ((Oh- and I forgot to add the 4 watch towers at each corner, with a closed searchlight and a couple of guards.))
[22:10] <+Elana> ((and the German guards with their Schaeferhunds))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((Vat? Shnell!))
[22:11] <+Grendel`> "I think we can agree the mess is unlikely?"
[22:11] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll need to enter through the training field on the east."
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((I know little else))
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> "There's a bit of wooded area there before the first fence."
[22:12] <+Elana> "Light equipment, I presume?"
[22:12] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((modded the mpa))
[22:14] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to be as invisible and silent as possible."
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((From waht you know, rifles, dogs, light flak armour, some grenades.))
[22:15] * +Grendel` nods, studying the map. "If we come from the east we should be able to investigate the 3 most likely spots."
[22:16] <+Mira_Atella> "Right. THere's another training field to the north, but it seems the less useful option."
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((south))
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((The Garisson is the northern corner))
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "South, not North." Turns the map, looking at her notes again.
[22:17] * +Grendel` points to the Commander's House, the Munitorium and the repair bay.
[22:18] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:19] <+Grendel`> ((Would we know what the average munitorium/quartermaster building would have? I'm guessing that's the armory basically?))
[22:21] <@BradGM> ((yes, like Munitorium D to you))
[22:22] <+Grendel`> "The Munitorium would be more secure, but the repair bay would have the materials needed."
[22:23] <+Elana> "We should assume the repair bay, then. The heretics are likely to have stepped up security there."
[22:24] <+Mira_Atella> "Once we get past the fences, and close enough, I should be able to sneak around a bit and listen to what they are saying. So we aren't randomly going to buildings and increasing our chances of being caught."
[22:25] * +Grendel` nods. "When we go in, perhaps we will see the security. So we are agreed to go in secretly, instead of attempting to bluff our way in?"
[22:25] <+Mira_Atella> "If the security is increased, bluffing would not likely work."
[22:26] * +Elana nods, seeing the reason in the assassin's argument.
[22:27] * +Grendel` nods. "Will we be able to get a vehicle close enough?"
[22:28] <+Elana> "I also assume we require light clothing. Something less ... obstructive." 6The Sister looks at her dress.
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "The training fields are about 5 miles long each. So while we can likely get to the first fence without an issue in a vehicle, but that's still a long way."
[22:30] <+Grendel`> "Hopefully the xenos artifact is light enough that we may carry it back to the vehicle."
[22:32] <@BradGM> SPinlop "WOn't a vehicle create noise and unwanted curiousity from the Troopers?"
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> "If not, we'll have to figure something out fast on the spot."
[22:32] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:33] * +Mira_Atella nods to Spinlop. "We'll need to park it a ways from the outter fence, so that's probably another mile on top of the 5 of the field."
[22:35] <+Elana> "The vehicle cannot traverse the field, no?"
[22:35] <@BradGM> Spinlop "Perhaps we can proceed on foot and have a vehicule waiting for us north of the Garisson to facilitate our escape."
[22:35] <+Mira_Atella> "The outter fences surround the fields."
[22:36] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:38] * +Grendel` turns to Spinlop. "You will be able to acquire the vehicle?"
[22:39] <+Mira_Atella> "I agree about a vehicle to the north. We don't want to go out the same way we came in, in case someone notices a hole in the fence, and we aren't going to want to carry the artifact 5 or more miles out."
[22:39] <@BradGM> Spinlop "I can arrange a vehicle, yes."
[22:40] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll also have the assistance of Spinlop's contact that gave us the map and information."
[22:41] <+Mira_Atella> "He seems very resourceful, so he could be a huge help."
[22:41] * +Grendel` nods.
[22:44] <@BradGM> Spinlop "I am able to get the services of a few other qualified individuals if you require it."
[22:45] <@BradGM> Spinlop "but with the current events, they may not wish to be too much in the open, as they would say."
[22:45] * +Grendel` considers, his mechadendrites moving slowly. "Too many may tip our hand, but we do not know what exactly we may be facing."
[22:46] <+Elana> "Rest assured, I do not believe any of us wants to."
[22:47] <+Mira_Atella> "I agree. This also doesn't have to happen tomorrow night. We have time if we need it."
[22:48] <+Elana> "We should not wait too long"6, the Sister warns. 1"If we do, they may move it again - or worse, unlock the unholy secrets of this device. Who knows what fate would await this world should these amateurs be allowed to continue with their unsanctioned work?"
[22:48] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[22:49] * +Grendel` nods as well, the mechadendrites waving agitatedly at the thought of the idiots unlocking the xenos machine.
[22:50] <+Mira_Atella> "We can find a happy medium where we do this timely, but also don't rush. Getting caught would likely mean death."
[22:51] <+Grendel`> "Of course."
[22:51] <+Elana> "Which might spell doom for the entire world ... yes, I agree. We should not tarry, but neither should we strike unprepared."
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((So take your time...but amke it fast!))
[22:54] <@BradGM> Spinlop "We would at least require your papers, so if there is any widespread search, you will have a cover story and alter ego created."
[22:54] <+Elana> ((I learned that in Ecclesiarchy Oxymorons 101 :P))
[22:55] <+Mira_Atella> "Right, so I know she said a few days, but if we need to pay her more to get them faster.."
[22:55] <+Mira_Atella> "I think it would be money well spent to ensure we aren't taking too long."
[22:55] <+Grendel`> ((well, we want it to happen as quickly as possible. But if something comes up tomorrow that makes it hard to do, we're not going to rush it and risk failure. We can always try again the next day))
[22:56] <+Grendel`> "Depends on the prices."
[22:57] <+Mira_Atella> "If we find that out, it will be good."
[22:57] <+Mira_Atella> "If things do fall in to place and we don't have the papers, we could be stuck as well."
[22:57] <@BradGM> Spinlop "That is something I can organise, I shall call her tomorrow."
[22:59] <+Grendel`> "So it sounds like we will go once we have the papers?"
[22:59] <+Mira_Atella> "Unless something comes up, I think that's a plan."
[23:00] <+Elana> "... and any additional equipment we may need. Bodygloves, or at least sturdy clothing with trousers and field boots."
[23:00] * +Mira_Atella looks at the box of items she got before, "I have what I need mostly, I didn't want to pick for each of you as well"
[23:01] <@BradGM> Spinlop "It is clothing easy to acquire at any stores."
[23:02] * +Elana nods, satisfied at the prospect. 1"We have weapons that should ... blend in with local models. The mission will be untraceable, provided everything goes as planned."
[23:02] <+Mira_Atella> "As long as we don't all go to the same store, that could be suspicious."
[23:04] <+Grendel`> "Then it seems we have a plan."
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Definitely one in transition. A lot of variables still, but at least we have a solid base."
[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm surprised no on has mentioned how much she's talking since she usually just gives people dirty looks from the corner of the room lol ))
[23:06] <@BradGM> ((well, you're gonna do the sneaky stuff, and it's your thing))
[23:08] <+Elana> (("slitting throats is the only time she feels truly alive"))
[23:08] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe ))
[23:08] <+Grendel`> ((Yeah. We don't want to consult the SoB on breaking in. The first words out of her mouth would be "Heavy bolters"))
[23:09] <@BradGM> ((or flmaer))
[23:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( hah that's what I just thought, flamer. ))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((:D))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((hey, she's been holding back so far ... more or less))
[23:11] <@BradGM> ((only because of lack of flamer))
[23:12] <+Grendel`> ((So we need, dark clothing and sturdy boots, and papers incase we get questioned, and maybe more people..is that it?))
[23:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( vehicle, or two ))
[23:13] <+Elana> ((I vote for a Leman Russ))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((maybe some sort of bag to carry the device))
[23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( hey, he's hinting at the size of it, woo ))
[23:16] <+Elana> ((he didn't say how large a bag ... :P))
[23:16] <+Grendel`> ((heh))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((I already told you the size))
[23:17] <@BradGM> ((a long time ago))
[23:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( I might have not been here ))
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((Like a computer tower))
[23:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( k ))
[23:19] <+Grendel`> ((ah, had forgotten that))
[23:19] <+Grendel`> "Then we are all agreed?"
[23:20] <+Mira_Atella> (( funny thinking of that.. the new computer I got after my laptop fried in the blackout doesn't have a tower. It's like a Mac where the monitor is the computer ))
[23:20] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[23:21] <+Elana> "Very well. What is our next step? Clothing?"
[23:22] * +Lazerus_Grim (~knight.ri@173-165-239-237-minnesota.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Quit)
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((Grim had to leave))
[23:22] <+Mira_Atella> (( he was here to begin with? ))
[23:22] <+Grendel`> ((That's obvious a Dark Age of Technology type of computer))
[23:23] <@BradGM> It is about 3 AM local time
[23:23] <+Mira_Atella> "I think we're good for tonight. We should get some sleep."
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((and let's close it here guys))
[23:25] * +Grendel` nods. "The frailty of flesh seems to demand it."
[23:25] * +Elana nods slowly, running two fingers over her temple. 1"A good motion. A rested mind is a cautious mind."

MIRA GETTING INFORMATION
[20:23] <BradGM> SPinlop takes you an hour out of town into the dark, moonlid countryside. The roads are twisting and turning, and you even see a large waterfall plunging into a deep ravine.
[20:23] <Mira_Atella> *watches the scenery as they go* (( Is the waterfall close enough to the base that it would cover some noise? ))
[20:23] <BradGM> Spinlop "I have hired someone I know to keep watch over the garisson. He is the source of my knowledge about the location of the device."
[20:24] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[20:24] <BradGM> ((if you were outside, yes, but not much, it is still some distance from the small rest area))
[20:25] <BradGM> Spinlop "He is named Parlow, and I have used him in a few other investigation in the past; he thinks of me as a curiosity collector, which is not a total lie, but he knows nothing of my..currrent employment. I would prefer it stays like that."
[20:25] <Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[20:26] <Mira_Atella> "What does he think he's watching the garrison for?"
[20:27] <BradGM> Spinlop "The device of course. I do not hire anyone for my investigations, they must have a certain degree of belief in the God-Emperor and stick by it's principles."
[20:28] <Mira_Atella> *nods and looks back out the window*
[20:30] <BradGM> You then see a fence emcampment with watchtowers and foot patrols, some with dogs, all around the perimeter. You drive past it.
[20:31] <BradGM> Spinlop "I shall leave you near Parlow is hidden. You should be able to locate him and discuss strategy. When Would you need a pick-up?"
[20:33] <Mira_Atella> "2 hours should be enough time to see any patterns in their patrol and gaps."
[20:34] <BradGM> SPinlop "Very well."
[20:35] <BradGM> SPinlop slows down and stops in a wooden area in some deserted country road "Parlow should be a mile or two in the woods, hidden somewhere. Emperor protects you miss Nifty."
[20:36] <Mira_Atella> "Make it 3 hours then so the walk doesn't eat up too much of my time." She nods as she gets out of the car and begins walking.
[20:38] <BradGM> Roll silent move and/or conceal
[20:39] <Mira_Atella> (( silent move ))
[20:41] <BradGM> you advance into the woods, silent as the tomb, roll awareness (visual) -20
[20:44] <BradGM> You advance, but see no sign of Parlow, until you ehar the familiar sound of a revolver getting cocked and the cold iron of the barrel behind your back.
[20:44] <BradGM> "Quite a night for a stroll ain't it?"
[20:45] <Mira_Atella> *stops walking* "Some of the birds in the area only come out at night, best time for them."
[20:46] <BradGM> "Birds huh? Dangerous stuff, lil' missy all alone at night in the woods..there's bears around you know?"
[20:48] <Mira_Atella> "I'm not too worried if your aim with that gun is decent."
[20:49] <BradGM> You get grabbed by the sohoulder and quickly turned around, only to see that youR,e facing a single man wearing a civilian hat (As per his silouhette in the darkness) rather than an PDF patrol.
[20:50] <BradGM> "You better scram dollface, I'd hate to see that pretty mug get busted over something as silly as birds."
[20:51] <Mira_Atella> *doesn't appear surprised* "I have some more watching to do first, I was told I might find someone out here that could help."
[20:52] <BradGM> "Other watching huh? What a freind recommended the spot?"
[20:53] <Mira_Atella> "Book store owner where I picked this up." She shakes the book in her hand. "He was interested in what I could find out here."
[20:55] <BradGM> "Oh really? not really his style to put a woman in danger..." *He lowers his gun and pocekts it* "..Or did you mean he send you here?"
[20:56] <Mira_Atella> "This was more my idea, but he did point me in this direction. I take it you're Parlow?"
[20:57] <BradGM> Parlow "Yeah, Milip Parlow, and who might you be?"
[20:57] <Mira_Atella> "Mira, nice to meet you." She extends a hand towards him.
[20:58] <BradGM> Parlow "Mira eh, Lovely name, sounds from far."
[20:58] <BradGM> Parlow "follow me, let's get inside."
[20:59] <Mira_Atella> *nods and begins to follow him*
[21:00] <BradGM> He take you toward what you though was a large rock, but is instead a car, camouflaged under Imperila Guard-style camo netting.
[21:04] <BradGM> Parlow "Sorry about the mess, I've been here a few days already.."
[21:05] <Mira_Atella> "If you saw the place we rented to stay, you wouldn't be concerned. This is spotless in comparison."
[21:06] <BradGM> Parlow "I'm sorry to hear it. Armsec?"
[21:07] <BradGM> *He passes you a flask.*
[21:07] <Mira_Atella> "Thank you." She takes a sip from the flask and hands it back, "That must not be easy to get hold of, you certainly seem resourceful."
[21:08] <BradGM> Parlow "Well, let's jsut say I got a few freinds in the right palces."
[21:09] <Mira_Atella> "Always a good thing."
[21:09] <BradGM> Parlow "So what's your intrest in all this?"
[21:11] <Mira_Atella> "Spinlop and I have a mutual friend that's a collector and interested in a specific item. Sort of a favor type thing to do this for him."
[21:11] <BradGM> Parlow "right, and you'Ve come to touch base and see who's between you and it right?"
[21:12] <Mira_Atella> *nods* "I don't like being surprised very much, so I wanted a preview to help with planning."
[21:15] <BradGM> Parlow "Well, here's what I've got; most is working from memory back when I was stationned in there..." *He takes a small lamp-pack to get some lightand beigns to draw a crude plan
[21:15] <BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Garisson
[21:16] <Mira_Atella> *watches as he draws up the map*
[21:20] <BradGM> APrlow "now, this is just the inner permimeter; the base itself keeps going 5 miles to the South and 5 miles East. mostly training area, obstacle course, firing range and the like. TherE's another fence behond that. All taht area is patroleld by foot, vehgicle and I even saw a few of those walking machines from the Capital with their spotlight at ngiht."
[21:21] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[21:24] <BradGM> Parlow "Inside the inner perimeter, from what I've seen, a few foot patrols and little else, with the barracks so close by and a Regiment sleeping close, they're not actin too worried."
[21:26] <BradGM> Parlow "but they still got the fence well guarded, at least entry from there would be ahrd, I'm thinking getting in from the training fields, and seneak in from the barracks or quartermaster's office and get in from there."
[21:27] <Mira_Atella> *nods* "The field is what I was thinking as well."
[21:31] <BradGM> Parlow "I know they changed the training grounds 5 eyars ago, so I can't know for sure what's behond the outer fence, if only a few patches of forest wiht ltos of flat fields, perfect for marching."
[21:32] <Mira_Atella> "I'll have to adjust my gear slightly, but that shouldn't be a problem."
[21:33] <BradGM> Parlow "You should be all right; it's those walking machines that I'm worried about. They got a gun on thse that I've seen on a chimera!"
[21:34] <BradGM> Parlow "Getting hit by one of those won't forgive."
[21:34] <Mira_Atella> "That's definitely something to avoid."
[21:35] <BradGM> ((dunno if there was somehtign else you wanted to know or do..))
[21:36] <Mira_Atella> (( just going to have her watch the patrols for a bit unless he already has that info ))
[21:37] <BradGM> ((He does; patrol rotation is every 3 hours, therE's a manned patrol every 30 minutes or so at any point in the outer perimeter, and the Sentinels passes every hour or so with thier searchlights, scanning the horiszon))
[21:38] <Mira_Atella> *makes several notes on the map in shorthand*
[21:38] <BradGM> Parlow "And that's what I've go."
[21:39] <Mira_Atella> *looks at her chrono and nods* Spinlop will be back by the time I walk back. Thank you for all of your help.
[21:40] <BradGM> Parlow "My pleasure Mira. When you amke a run for it, let me know, I cna always be of help, sicne we are being paid form the same pocket at any rate."
[21:40] <Mira_Atella> "It is likely to be tomorrow night. I'll have him contact you if anything changes."
[21:41] <BradGM> Parlow "I'll wait for his call then."
[21:41] <Mira_Atella> *leaves the vehicle and begins walking back towards the meeting spot*
[21:41] <BradGM> SPinlop arrives after a few moment's wait and you get driven back to the appartment.
[21:44] <BradGM> Spinlop "Everything went smoothly I presume?"
[21:45] <Mira_Atella> "Yes. There will be a few gear changes, but nothing big. He also offered to help when we make our move."
[21:45] <BradGM> Spinlop "No surprises here. Parlow was a man of action, made to get his ahdns dirty and take a punch."
[21:46] <Mira_Atella> "The information he had is definitely helpful. I didn't need to look much myself, he had me completely informed."
[21:47] <BradGM> Spinlop "Good to know he's worth his price, as always."
[21:49] <BradGM> Spinlop "I have one of my freind taking pictures of your companions for your identity papers. She should still be there when we arrive, so at elast this will fasten the process."
[21:49] <Mira_Atella> *nods*
[21:50] <BradGM> You drive back to the appartment in the dead of the ngiht.
