[OOC yes I need you to RP Riddik, and I am assuming we have the tracking gear]
Davik looked at Quicksilver, "We need to make sure the tracker is secure and functioning then we stick to the schedule and hope Pelch and Mao handle their end."

[OOc also assuming we have the tracking gear.]
Quicksilver nods at Davik, then goes and get the tracking gear.
"I will go put this where it belongs then I will be back tommorow so we can this plan in motion."
With that Quicksilver heads out and back to the Eager Beaver. Once Quicksilver gets to the Beaver he will begin his usual stuff workin at the bar till he gets and opening and go to check over tommorows shipment and hide the tracking device on one of the delivery trucks. After my shift is over I will eventually head back towards Davik's.

OOC: Pelch, "Rats, my browser hosed and I lost all the stuff I was typing in here. I'll try again.
OOC: To Emyaj/ Quicksilver: You successfully pick up the gear. Davik will need to post the payment loss in the group funds. As you arrive back at the Beaver, Daisy informs you that the trucks are being guarded by the Yaks at Pier 62, along the Alaskan Way. The trucks are fully loaded and have the Logo of the trucking company name on them under the name Dewey, Cheatham & Howe. There is a problem though. None of the standard drivers want to risk getting killed by driving those trucks into Holloweener Territory. You are going to have to make arrangements to handle this problem.
OOC: To Expogue/Davik: No problem role playing Riddik. Nice etiquette roll for Riddik. 3, 6, 4 6, 3 If he has the information you will get it. By the way, if you want to repost the SR tables and your other hints, please place them in the Learning Thread Post. Nice to see you back.
Davik calls Riddik his Vory contact to see if he has any information on the high-jacking or Tony.
Riddik Knowledge Roll: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6]
After Quicksilver left Davik received a call back on his communicator. It was his friend Riddik. "That was fast," Davik remarked to his Mafia contact.
"Well you said time was short." Riddik stated quietly. "I checked around quietly. There has been exactly sixteen hijackings of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe trucks in Holloweener and ONLY Holloweener territory. The company is part of Dom Haseltorn's trucking group but Krass/Drassel also have some minor stock there as well. It's not directly linked to either of the groups, but it's pretty well known in our circles who calls the shots. The trucks make runs into Azzie territory on pretty much scheduled time tables, come up to a holding area, usually guarded by local Yaks near Pier 62 which Dom owns. Customs don't inspect those trucks, if you catch my meaning. Local drivers pick them up there and usually make runs throughout the city."
"What about Tony?" Davik asked.
"Not much on this slag outside of he is a bad dude to cross. As far as we know his real name is Antonio Rhontlesat, about 6'1 dark hair, slender and possibly an adept. He is not a regular part of the Seattle scene. Mostly been working in Europe in one of the big Swiss based corps. Word is he is in tight with the Holloweeners. Rumor also says Charles the Red loves the guy but Slash and Burn ain't too happy with either of them. It looks to most outsiders like Charlie is planning to make his move real soon for the top seat instead of just war boss but he ain't got the muscle for that yet. Problem is Slash is also lacking serious muscle and it don't look good. The two are glaring and fighting alot but it's still all verbal and sniping around the edges to make each other look bad. My only guess about reasons why is that Tony has a serious thing for either Krass/Drassel or Dom but it seems stupid to me that he would be messing with either of those groups given the power they have. There's got to be more there but my guys don't know what it is we missed. Tony has to have more than a street gang backing his play but no one knows who. That's about all I got on the short notice. You want more digging and deeper, I'm going to have to spread the cred. You owe me a big favor for this, chummer."
Davik thanked him and hung up. As he was thinking he received another call. It was Mao.
Mao spoke quietly. "We've had some problems crop up but nothing that we can't handle on our own. Be careful of rushing in down here. The situation is volatile and people are suddenly ending up very DEAD. Here is some of the information we have learned. There's been a major split in the Holloweeners and it still isn't sorted out yet. We haven't been able to pinpoint the sides because asking questions down here is extremely risky. In fact, anyone even asking about the hijackings down here are quickly feeding the fish off Pier 70. We have uncovered pretty solid evidence that our Johnson seems to be smuggling in Azzie beer to increase revenue and avoid tariffs and taxes, this may be with or without Lone Star knowledge but we suspect if they do know it is at a higher level than we can see from the street. We have confirmed that trucks are being hijacked and the liquors are being sold to the various establishments at rock bottom prices so it doesn't appear to be a money issue. If it were they could be selling the cargo's for a lot more than they are getting. I get the impression that they are selling it just to cover expenses. That means they are being paid to do it by someone else bank rolling the operation. The more we look at this the more it looks like a revenge motive and that does NOT sound like standard corp play."
Davik thought a moment, "Tell me about these complications outside of extreme suspicion and overt reactions."
"Well tonight, two Lone Star cops took after Pelch. It looks to me like he got away clean, but I took a temporary room at the Jackal's Lantern rather than lead them back to you. Pelch should rejoin me here when it's safe. Also anyone who is a stranger here is under complete and immediate suspicion. I was accosted by a young lady after Pelch made his escape. She was REALLY interested in why we were here. I suspect a gang plant to keep an eye on us. That's another reason why I didn't come back there. If you send anyone in here, they could end up very dead, very fast. Right now we have enough finances to handle things on there own, but you better be ready for some claims if we come out the other side of this." Mao finished calmly.
"Do you think Lone Star is in this as well?" asked Davik thoughtfully.
"My guess is that we are dealing with more than one group and they all seem to be working for their own purposes." Mao said in disgust at the thought. "Johnson is running his smuggling game. Lone Star is after info on the Nestle's thing. Tony is out to cause Johnson or his new buddies problems. Then we have the rift in the street gang. With so many players all dreking in the same pool, it's no wonder the paranoia level is so high."
"OK," Davik stated firmly. "Lay low and don't do anything to bring down an avalanche on yourselves. When Pelch gets back tell him to do the same. Keep listening but don't answer questions and let me know if the situation changes." Davik again hung up and looked at Widow.
"You are more familiar with security tactics and procedures than I am how do we make it not worth it to the shadow-riders to keep on us with out bringing down a heat wave on our hoop?"
Widow looked at Davik a moment and then pointed at her handheld trideo and took out the ear jack. In a tinny voice the announcer spoke, "This just in, an exclusive for KPOW where we report the REAL news first. Tonight three Lone Star officers were brutally gunned down in the Denny Park Area while on duty. Captain Timothy Knuckles, Corporal St. Glass and Officer Prault of Lone Star Security Service were pronounced dead at the scene. Witness's testify that a dwarf was seen leaving the area probably wounded. The dwarf has yet to be identified. Lone Star patrols to the area have tripled and some local gang fights appear to have broken out. Lone Star is offering 25,000 NuYen for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers. This offer has attracted numerous bounty hunters, vigilantes, Humanis Policlub members and freelancers to the area in hopes of cashing in the reward. The place is not a war zone yet, but soon may become one. More as this develops."
"I think it's gone way beyond that point." Widow said grimly.
"Drek!" Davik stated angrily. His phone rang. It was Dom and JJ. "I thought I said I didn't want the Denny Park area to be turned into a war zone?" Dom stated ominously. "Now will you explain to me why it looks like Pelch killed three Lone Star cops tonight?"

Mao was in the room continuing to figure things out. More and more it was nothing more than a gang war. Problem is...out of this mess they were suppose to figure out who this "Tony" character is and what's his motive. Interesting thing is that everyone is after Belch...which is usually the case since he rubs folks the wrong way and will do what he can to survive...but at the same time...others realizing this will do the same and not put trust in him. Hopefully with them causing a distraction it'll allow Davik and the rest of the folks ability to act. He didn't want to sit around and wait but he had no choice. His job now was to await contact from Pelch. And if after a certain time there was none...then it was his job to carry on with the distractions...

"This drek just keeps getting weirder...." Crossing her arms, she rested her chin in her right hand. "Ok guys, lets go over the facts. This morning, Pelche's face is all over teh trid. some news report that supposedly was made 10 years ago. Now, it looks like pelch killed those cops. someone is trying to frame him, but who is the question. And I have a feeling that we already know the answer........... tony." she said with a sigh. "Looks like someone does want a war because they have a feeling that you are unable to afford it..... Besides. I know pelch didnt kill them. Not his style. I dont think he can even shoot a gun. He prefers to do things without the use of a firearm...."

Davik spoke calmly to Dom and JJ, "Let me conference you in. We are still trying to play catch up here. When this thing broke we were just as surprised as you were. Maybe we can figure some of this out."
Quicksilver looked closely at Widow. "Of course someone appears to be framing him, but this doesn't seem to connect any dots either. On the trid it showed the bodies. Those wounds were made by a 50 caliber sniper rifle. I know the signs, I've used them myself. The rounds were probably either depleted uranium or Teflon coated to go through the armor like that. No street gang thug is going to have a weapon or ammo even close to that. It would be too fragging noticeable and unusual enough to track down. It was a professional HIT. The part I find interesting is that the HIT does not fit what we know about Tony's style at all! He's supposed to be this DREK HOT mage so why use a sniper rifle? Now you think it's Tony, but I think that is reaching."
Widow smiled, "Which means of course that by now Lone Star should know that Pelch or the dwarf they are after didn't do it! So why would they act like he is the one when they should have figured he was just a bystander by now? Not that a bystander or innocence means much to them. They'll still blame him to get out from under and will still geek him on sight, probably while resisting arrest. I suspect they will want to question him a bit first, if they can. You realize that Pelch is going to be going underground? Pelch knows the Star as well as I do. The Star can't let this ride and Pelch can't rejoin any of us immediately or we get dragged in too. My guess is he dropped himself into a dwarf sized hole and is laying low. Also if the Star has connected Mao with Pelch then he's going to be hunted as well by the Star just because they are not going to let this slide."
Davik nodded, "Our problem is that there are too many possibilities for the actions we are seeing. Take the Star for instance. Why were they killed? To frame Pelch as Widow believes? As retribution from some Corp whose toes the Riders stepped on? Dom even you are not clean on this. Pelch told you the Star was having him watch you. Maybe you decided to kill two birds with one stone."
"Do you really believe that?" Dom asked quietly.
"Actually no, it's too simple and too pat, but I want you to be aware that the blame could be made to fall anywhere, just like you thought we started the war in Denny Park. What I actually think is that our chummer, Mao hit it on the head. There are a lot of players in the game and they are using Pelch like a tennis ball/irritant to stir things up and see what floats to the top. Then taking the info and using it to cause grief to each other. Someone moved the Star to move Pelch toward Dom, someone else removed the pressure there. Someone that doesn't want the Star poking into your business, is my guess. They are sacrificing Pelch though on purpose as the fall guy. I think Widow is also partially correct. Pelch is the bone someone is throwing to the Star and I suspect they will gain monetarily as well." Davik stated thoughtfully.
Dom caught it right away, "You're talking Krass/Drassel. Right now they are the only ones with a vested interest in protecting me to the extent your talking about and they do have the contacts to deflect the Star. The interesting thing is it gives the Star an excuse to move into Denny Park and clean it up while the Holloweeners are in a weak state leadership wise. This way it also stops the truck hijackings." Dom looked angry, "That fragging KRASS!"
"Exactly," Davik nodded, "They know Pelch, he was a client at one time. When you told them about the Riders sudden interest I suspect they decided the time was right. Krass has a grudge against the Riders as well if rumor is to be believed. Pelch can no more carry around and use a 50 caliber than a fragging rabbit. It's a corp weapon. I think Krass was behind the hit. When you look at it, it's fragging elegant. Krass gets his revenge. He removes a Rider that may have been a little to aggressive inside the Star making the managers happy, he even supplies them with a fall guy. He protects Dom and the smuggling operation and removes a possible security problem from the slate."
"You're saying Eon pulled the trigger?" Quicksilver asked, "She's a little small for that. Not that she isn't more than capable, but I can no more see her using a 50 caliber than I can picture Pelch shooting one with any kind of accuracy, at least not like we saw. One shot one kill, no more no less and every one of them a perfect killing hit even with the targets moving."
"If she didn't pull the trigger it's a safe bet she knows who did." Widow commented, "She has enough Shadow-runner talent on hand that she can whistle up in a heartbeat. She may not have pulled the trigger but she could have made it happen. So was it Drassel who released the old footage?"
"No, I don't think so." Davik stated, "It goes against what they are trying to do. It might be Tony as Widow thinks but we just don't have enough clues. We know someone moved the Riders onto the game board. It could have been whoever was behind them, it could be Tony, it might even be chance. We don't have enough info there yet but it is someone working at cross purposes from Dom or Krass."
"That's all very nice but it also leaves us with the real question." Widow commented dryly.
"What would that be?" Quicksilver asked.
"Is our plan still viable and workable or do we start from square one with a new plan. Also what do we do about Mao and Pelch? Leave them for the Star to deep fat fry? We can track down Pelch. We have a bug on him. Another question that needs to be answered is do we really want to?" Widow commented. The others looked and thought but didn't have any immediate answers.

OOC: Pelch, "Sure but explosive rounds are so noisy when they hit, still it's a good point." "Guess, I'll wait a while and see if anyone else wants to post before I continue. After all you may want to add your view or additional clues you have noticed in the storyline. If not? Well opportunities are present, but if you don't use them, then are they really opportunities?"

OOC: Pelch, "I've been a busy boy tonight. Also I been coordinating the next part of the story line. I also did some research, a bit. Krondax you are correct from the Shadow Run side of it in the charts on the .357 Ultra Mag rifle with explosive rounds, they do indeed do comparable damage, but not in the same way. In reality someone like Quicksilver could tell the difference between the weapons if he was well versed in the effects the rounds have. There is a big difference in how a Uranium Round reacts when it hits a target, a Teflon round also reacts and leaves different traces and clues forensically, as does an explosive round. Your comment did point out to me though that Quicksilver should have been even more precise on the round used after viewing the bodies on the trid. So you folks get the benefit from my lack of foresight, I hereby tell you that it was indeed Teflon rounds and Widow will get that credit in the story line tonight. Good Call."
Widow looked at Quicksilver, "How do you know it was a fifty caliber rifle? It seems to me that the .357 Ultra Mag rifle with explosive rounds could have been a more likely culprit."
Quicksilver smiled, "Excellent question. Notice the entrance wounds on the body?" Widow cued up a replay of the trid broadcast and focused in. "Explosive rounds would have done greater damage going in with the blast affects. Notice the wound is almost needle like? HM, that seems to eliminate uranium rounds as well. Look how needle like this is and very clean? I would say a very precise Teflon round was used, with a very high speed delivery. See how most of the rupture is on the other side from the speed and shock-wave effects? The shooter was even better than I originally thought. This is a very precise round and probably hand made for the job. Whoever this slag is he makes his own rounds and hand loads them. I'll bet his rifle is a custom job too. I don't think the Retro's have anyone of this skill level in house. If they did it they contracted it."
Davik looked at Dom, "I trust my team. How much do you know about the Retro's? Do they have anyone on staff that could make such non-standard weapons and rounds? We can see why, from an Intel standpoint, why they would have and use such weapons, but the blow-back if they get caught would be tremendous."
Dom thought, "Ok first I'm still only a Junior partner, but I'll give you my impression of them. The Retro's are very good at putting out a lot of confusing information about themselves. It tends to hide what they really do and how totally ruthless they can be. When you laugh at clowns you don't think of them as dangerous or nasty enough to kill you with no lack of conscience at all. Do I think Krass and Company sleep well at night after pulling drek like this, my answer would be they probably sleep just fine. My guess is that they do have the capability to access and supply such weapons and do so on a regular basis to anyone with the cash to pay for it. I do not believe though they do it first hand, they must have several layers of cutouts. I know I would. It would be almost impossible to trace anything of this nature back to them."
Davik nodded, "That was my assessment as well. We KNOW Krass was behind this, proving it will be impossible. I think Dom you are going to have to put some pressure on Mr. Krass to find another scapegoat for the shooting. You are the only leverage we have right now and I am not going to sell half the team down the river just so Krass can pleasure himself with an extra fragging percentage point. Tell him you want him to steer the Star elsewhere and get the Retro's and the Star off our backs so we can deal with Tony."
Quicksilver nodded as did Widow, then Quicksilver spoke, "If Krass doesn't like your request, you could remind him that he is not the only one that has access to 'removal specialists' and I know where he hangs."
"I am not going to do any such thing," Dom stated deliberately. "You don't go making open threats to someone like Krass with his power in the corporate world. If I want him dead, I would do it NOW with no warning. If he even thinks you are coming at him, he'll spare no expense to do you first and all the rest of us as well! You people leave that side to me. However, until I get those dogs called off you still have to deal with getting Pelch and Mao to safety before the Star or a freelancer gets to them." JJ and Dom disconnected from the call.
Interlude:
Dom followed by JJ walked into Krass/Drassel a short while later. He had no problem walking up to Krass's office. There appeared to be no security at all! Dom remarked to JJ, "You know one thing I learned is that the best Security doesn't even look like Security. I learned that the first time I was here. If I was to do the wrong thing though it would become very obvious. It makes it hard to plan a successful attack if you have no idea what your facing. See what I mean about them hiding what they do?" JJ nodded as the door quietly opened before them and they walked across a large spacious office to JoAnne's station. It was as large as a Senior Corp's VP suite and had all the usual equipment of one.
JoAnne smiled brightly up at them as she rose from her chair. She was small, about 5' 2" with platinum blond hair that looked almost like a helmet on her. She had brown eyes and fair skin with a pleasant smile. "Mr Krass is expecting you Mr. Haseltorn. I cleared his schedule and you have as much time as you need. Mr Drassel will not be able to attend this meeting but Mr. Ronilion and Ms. Eon are awaiting you inside. I set aside some aperitifs and snacks for you and your guest as well. If you require anything there will be a call button clearly marked that you may press." Dom smiled down at the smaller woman and Thanking her politely he went inside, with JJ. following.
Inside, the room, was at least twice as large as the secretaries office. Krass sat behind a large desk with his feet up on it. The room was heavily paneled in dark woods and appointed in heavy polished furniture, with shiny brass lights and crystal. Several colorful and very expensive paintings adorned the wall. Wasn't one of them the Mona Lisa? Flanking the desk to the left side were several empty stations for the other corp board members. The manned stations for Ronilion and Eon were to Krass's right. Eon was dressed in state of the art corporate fashion and looked like a million NuYen. In front of the desk was another smaller station with leather adjustable chairs for guests. On the small sideboard on the left wall, drinks and snacks were plainly laid out. Krass smiled at JJ as she came in and rose. He was dark, handsome and well muscled. His tan was pure Bahama's and open ocean making his smile almost blinding.
Krass, spoke and JJ was surprised at how deep his voice was, but then she remembered Krass was a politician. One of the thirteen mayors of Seattle, she had always thought of him as a high voiced wretched geek weasel and was surprised that he didn't look the image she would have assumed for him. "Excuse me. My friend over there is a little embarrassed." Krass stated in a deep masculine voice that curled her toes. "She'd like your phone number. She wants to know where she can get a hold of me in the morning." Eon glared with disgust but JJ was used to handling such people.
JJ smiled at Krass in a practiced sexy smile, "Mayor Krass, how thoughtful of you, but we already know each other. Maybe it would help if I were to remove my clothes, then you might recognize me."
Krass smiled back revealing perfect teeth, "I knew I'd seen you somewhere before. So are you free tonight or will it cost me?"
JJ laughed her voice tinkling like a bell. "Mayor Krass, for you I'm free tonight but it will cost you today. We don't want Ms. Eon to think I'm cheap now do we."
Dom interrupted as he sat down and JJ sat next to him. "Devlin, before you go on the hunt to seduce my secretary we need to discuss some business." Dom looked at Eon directly, "Would you explain why you killed three Lone Star police officers and left one of my people to take the rap for it?" Dom was not surprised when Eon's face didn't change one bit at his accusation. "Killing Shadow Riders might be considered by some to be a public service, especially Captain Knuckles. I do though dislike that my people were left to take the fall for it."
Ronilion an obvious elf in a Thornton English Silk Robe looked at Dom complacently. "Why would that be a problem Mr. Haseltorn? I assume you are referring to that street trash known as Gobwit?" He shrugged, "He is not what I would term a valuable asset to your organization. If the Star wants him to be found guilty of the murder of three officers why should that concern you or us? Why not let the wheels of justice run there course and make the best of the gain in your bottom line and the removal of an irritant and possible security problem from your organization? After all he is a SIN'less parasite on the bottom of Seattle's hoop, along with at least a couple of million more such in the Plex. It should be very easy to replace such a loss."
"Mr. Ronilion, you are a very smart guy. You haven't admitted to a thing of course but the signs of your tampering are not only obvious to me but to my team as well. If they at there level can deduce what has happened then your plan is not as foolproof as you had hoped." He looked at Mayor Krass, "While my people are not as accomplished as your staff, Devlin, they have shown considerable promise in accomplishing the things that I wish to get done. How would you feel if someone was to arbitrarily set up your people, like Luddington for instance. He seems to me to be just as useless to you as the dwarf might be to me, but you obviously do need him for something or he wouldn't be a member of your board. I don't think you would react as nicely if I was to cause you grief to improve my bottom line and I suggest to you that this alliance is not a one way street where I will let you hoop frag me over."
"I tend to support Mr. Haseltorn's position." Eon stated calmly. "For your information Mr Haseltorn, we did indeed contract to have Captain Knuckles removed, at the personal request of Mr. Krass. At the time I did point out that you would not react well to this plan but I was overruled. Some of us do try to keep some sense of honor here. My asset saw Mr. Knuckles accost your asset. He chose to act. It was a deliberate set-up of your man, we all chose to not interfere with the outcome in any positive way. You have though made your point. If your team figured it out, then it is too obvious. I will personally arrange to get your man out of harms way and will offer you recompense."
Dom looked at Eon warily, "Are you sure you can? You seem to be admitting to a lot here?"
Eon smiled, "I have already discussed this before you arrived. Mr Krass has already pre approved my solution. What you may not be aware of is that several devices have been planted in Mr. Davik's stronghold. You might tell Mr. Davik that he needs to sweep his lair more often and that when he is out it is very easy for professionals to get in. While we admit his defenses will keep out 85% of most units, they are not foolproof. A lesson I believed you have also learned. Even our security is not foolproof but then we don't just rely on Security and stop there and you shouldn't either." Eon looked at Krass smugly.
"As for your recompense, Mr Drassel, has already approved the action as well despite Mr. Krass's objections. It is a done deal if you accept it. You may take cash, or request a favor, equipment, or expertise from any or all of us to include a 'run' if it proves to be necessary. The funding and expenses will be handled by our independent accounting, The Fatman, and will be deducted from our assets. You have only to voice your preference. Now shall we take the time to become better acquainted while Mr Krass shamelessly pursues your companion?"
Dom smiled like Drassel.
OOC: Pelch, "Mr Johnson, I did confirm this deal and storyline with the Fatman and the Retro's. Enjoy the reward and let me know where you want to take it.
Also Thanks to Eon, Ronilion, Krass and Fatman for helping out with descriptions and context, I owe you guys a favor too."

Mao didn't want to contact HQ. The longer he hung around and stayed in one spot or remained connected to the rest of the team...the larger the chance someone will link them together or worse yet overhear something. Pelch was currently out there...with everyone on his tail. Their original mission was to track down this "Tony"...and to date that has yet been changed. So the best way to accomplish this task as agreed upon earlier with Pelch was for the both of them to make nice with the "smoke screen" while the rest of the team did their jobs. Mao decided that perhaps it was time to pay the site a visit. Maybe it was time to even use his contacts...namely his Lonestar connection...

[OCC at what flux rating your 3.5 miles under ground and there is no hard line you ever try to make a call from the bay tunnel isn't happening and the signal booster I use is encrypted. there is only one way in and out and I don't remember having to scrape moron off my wall recently. So someone with access and the pass codes would be the most probable perpetrator. If it is some one with out the codes role the dice on those perception checks to see them and show me some 6s the and do see them before they see you they are sensor rating 3 that is an opposed stealth test per-combat turn but you are at point blank so you are aiming for 4s it is aiming at 2s. Assuming you see them first you still have to get close enough to disarm them. now your going to say I can avoid them the corridor is 2 meters wide by 3 meters tall. Here is the fun part if you are stupid enough to set one off that is 16D with a -1/m power rebounding accumulation is 8 times off the walls 5 times off the ceiling and floor so that is 13 rebounds 16D +1 per-hit like auto fire 77D at ground zero even if you are a troll in maxed out military hardened armor they will be identifying you by your DNA now if you are on the fringe you might be ok -1/m from the blast center. Welcome to explosives in confined spaces that was one mine.. As for disarming them that is an opposed demolitions test for each emplacement there are 6 emplacements the roles are
1 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6] [dice=6]
2 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6]
3 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
4 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6]
5 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
then there is getting in it is a 3in thick steel bulkhead door for when this place floods if it will handle 67psi at 1206 lbs of water force it can handle any thing they can dish out. and there is no obvious external access to the locking mechanism perception check 12 to find the manual over ride or they can try to force the hand turn strength check of "don't wast your time" 24 when the security is armed the door is locked with a servo that jams the mechanism and can only be opened from the inside or with the manual over ride.
I am not bitching just for future referance role for it don't just pull it out of your ass.
Who says I don't scan for bugs because you don't see it that is like saying I don't use the bath room because you don't see it or change light bulbs it is basic maintenance.][rand=88942935789010643119086210750853858474489678844213590681696429086]
