This is episode 17.
Our game sessions usually run between 3 and 4 hours.
And after editing, that usually leaves me with about 2 and a half hours of content.
Which is why I break the sessions in half.
It's easier to manage the editing, and it gives me a chance to actually complete an episode a week.
Usually.
We passed 500 downloads about two weeks ago, and I want to let you all know how much I appreciate you spending your time with us.
And I really hope you enjoy the podcast.
Recently I've been leaning into the sound design more heavily, and I hope it is a welcome change.
We would love to hear from you, whether it is to be praise or criticism.
If you are listening to us on a service that allows you to rate us, please do so.
Help us to hack that algorithm with a 5-star review.
Most importantly though, we thank you for listening, and hope you will continue to do so, and spread the word to your friends.
Watch your backs, conserve your ammo, scrub the data trail, and don't make deals with dragons.
Hello!
We have a plan. We need a location.
Indeed. And I believe I should be the one who selects this.
We have established that it must be an urban.
Dandel, I do believe you said you had some manner of contact.
Contact is a strong word on this occasion.
I have a friend.
Are there sorts of friends you want to keep this little engagement out of the jurisdiction?
Or do you want to ensure it happens in the jurisdiction?
It would be easier if it happened in the jurisdiction.
Then we shall make sure it is within the jurisdiction.
In that case I will want to select the ideal position for, let's see...
We want it to be relatively isolated filling, that we want it to be an air where civilian presence is minimal.
We want there to be a good opportunity for ambush of our targets, that is the sergeant.
In this case, that means a position for me to set up with a rifle, and whatever requirements for the rest of you are.
And we probably want it to be in locations as I said.
That doesn't arouse suspicion. If you ask him to show up at an abandoned warehouse...
Oh, that's not happening. A park perhaps. Or some less active part of town.
One that is somewhat public, but one that is not populated enough, where we will have to worry about people running through the streets.
Or worse, pressing a button to call more.
Furthermore, we have to account for the possibility of him being back up.
Ranging from just a couple of police, usually deadlift, or perhaps something heavier if he expects.
One thing about George is that he may be a scumbag. He's not dumb.
Exactly. And he has to...
He's quite arrogant, so my impression from the meeting with him is that he does not rate us very highly.
He looks at Dandere. I think you got the same impression.
Dandere... the most you've ever seen Dandere get angry is like her eye twitch.
That is probably the exact thing that's happening right now, is Dandere remembering that meeting.
Whatever. I don't read people. I put them in the dirt.
And I can do that here. That's what I have to do, I assume.
Since I doubt we're going to convince him to get in the back of this suspicious van with us.
Dandere lives in Auburn. Would she know of a park that meets our specifications in Auburn?
Or just a street. Anything works. Actually, I'm not sure of a park.
You guys have enough knowledge of the Auburn area that you can pretty much describe to us where you want to have this meeting.
Preferably something with some kind of overlook. Like maybe an abandoned building nearby?
Yes, I need the position from which I can engage them. Preferably not so far as to...
We can arrange a specific spot. I want sight lines. I want an area that can be easily swept beforehand.
For that, Nightingale, I will be wanting to employ your unique magical talents.
I don't suppose you can detect... do weapons register with your magic vision, whatever?
Well, if a gun is just sitting there and hasn't been touched in a long time, it won't.
But there's a lot of intentionality in the way that metahumans handle their weapons because they're so dangerous.
They do look distinct, and if I give them a look for long enough, I'll be able to tell that it's meant to be a weapon.
Excellent. In that case, you're going to be with me sweeping the surrounding buildings.
Also, when he arrives, make sure you see anyone new. Scan them for weapons.
They will be on their hips or concealed in jackets, depending on if they're being overt about it.
On their backs or on slings. I can show you images so you can identify them faster.
You will be on lookout for armed people and people who... I can teach you, I suppose, what the kind of...
Actually, Diender, you were a police, right? Yes. You would say you have retained a sort of confidence manner that many police carry themselves with.
A little bit. Hmm.
I'd define it for a resident magical horse. He needs to be able to recognize it.
If not, I can give her something that's close, that is a military bearing, but it would be different, obviously.
Maybe we should go outside before you start doing charades.
I can show the horse later, but... Oh, of course.
Beyond that, we should probably try to have some good matrix cordon on the area, if possible.
What, you want all the cameras in the area? Yeah.
Okay. Okay. So...
They're cameras. They're like public access.
Yeah. We'd like them circulating footage, right? So that we don't show up on them.
Oh, I thought you meant watch them. I mean, I can get cameras in the area, but the likelihood that there's a camera with a good angle on where we'll be fighting is unlikely.
So, we need two of us to investigate a point.
I mean, sight lines, planned out, places to stand. We need a blind spot in the camera, stuff like that.
I have to peach the horse to recognize people carrying...
Carrying what? I just need the firearms.
And also that Amina is a police officer.
Yeah. I mean, I've seen a lot of cops in my time. I just need the chance to de-arrest with...
Not that special. What about a plain clothes officer?
Oh, that may be a little bit harder for me.
I think DeAndre starts scanning the streets until she finds a clothes officer.
DeAndre scans the street. It's a good place for... until she finds a plain clothes officer.
I'd imagine if this is a busy place, then there'd be at least... every now and again.
Yeah. Probably. It's Tacoma.
You're cutting out a little on every sentence.
DeAndre is pointing out a plain clothes police officer with a box one.
She's looking for that plain clothes police officer. She also realizes that this place might actually be staked out.
Olga's tea room may be the subject of a stakeout.
Cecil, I suggest you find somewhere else to get your tea in the morning.
Let's buy.
Give it a few days.
So yeah, you've been pointed out a plain clothes police officer outside.
Nightingale, like, slips underneath the table onto the ground and makes a little whining noise and goes to the door.
Like she is a dog that needs to urinate so that she can look at them in the astral.
By the way...
To see if there's anything that seems to distinguish them.
What I'm referencing here is basically the confidence and the sort of selfishness that comes with, A, training in how to hurt people in that capacity.
And the mandate that they have to be able to do that legally and B, the confidence that comes with carrying a weapon.
Basically, it's the idea that it registers in the astral that they are armed and that because they are armed, they are willing to do that.
Capacity for violence.
Yes, they have a capacity for violence and they have a certain confidence in their ability to use it.
So when do we want to do this? At night, probably?
I would be more suspicious if at night.
You know, when most people at work during the afternoon, that is my proposition.
Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like they might actually have an easier time with the dark than we would.
Speak for yourself.
It doesn't have to be today, does it?
We'd like it to be as soon as possible.
Our Mr. Johnson will get antsy if we wait too long.
Yeah, I imagine George will get antsy too.
I'm fine with evening, it's just, you know, how late is it now, Paul?
It's mid-morning.
You guys have been sitting over your teas.
You've had at least one or two refills as you discussed this.
Uh, Boxer would never drink the tea.
She is getting the coffee.
arqish coffee.
So, we're messaging Von Hausen?
No, we're finding a place.
Yeah.
Who's got the...are you guys...you guys already have a place in mind, right?
Either D&D or Boxer have a place in mind.
D&D probably has a few places in mind in Auburn.
Yeah.
I don't know about Boxer.
They can collaborate on that.
Why don't you guys just give me a description of the place you want, and that'll be the place.
Some place not suspicion arousing, with some kind of hidden-ish overlook where Boxer or somebody else can do Overwatch.
Preferably, cameras support, that's like everywhere.
So, we have found some place, somewhere to have this meet.
Yeah, the place.
So, there's the tower...not tower.
There's the area overlook with an unobstructed view to the...
Boxer would absolutely insist there's plentiful cover.
Yes.
How about if...
Covering could see on that.
So, we know that Auburn is a fairly industrial area.
What if there is a car lot that you know of?
Car lot is perfect.
That is perfect.
There would be very few places for people to hide.
You know, the cars which can be swept.
Yeah.
And take cover behind them, and it's...
You know, it's surrounded by other semi-industrial buildings where somebody could potentially get a perch.
If they wanted to get...have somebody in Overwatch.
Yeah.
And we can have it be one of the less busy areas, like a factor that's not really in use.
It's very much just a place where it's not quite dead, but just low activity so that there aren't too many cars.
In other words, we can have an area that's relatively clear.
There's the car lot, and then there's an office building, an industrial office building that is actually leased by several different smaller companies.
So, the different floors have different companies in them.
So, nobody really knows who's coming and going, and you know you can get access to the roof from there.
How does that sound?
Good to me.
The one thing that you do know about the place is that there are plenty of cameras, surveillance cameras, obviously watching the car lot itself.
And there are surveillance cameras obviously in the lobby of the office building, probably in the elevators.
Well, that seems like a job for Invisibility Horse.
Or Levitate.
Levitate might be easier.
Up, up, and away.
Are you going to get in touch with, what's his name now?
Vicente.
Are you going to get in touch with Vicente?
I think the Ender's contacts, I don't know, has it handled.
Okay.
I don't need to bother our boy again.
Probably need to go back to Samvar and pick up our gear, says Ice.
Probably.
That seems to be so good.
I'll have to spend a bunch of time hacking those cameras.
Well, hack is a strong word.
Don't worry.
The payment for this job is going to make it so, so worth it.
Plus, it gets to be your first run.
How exciting is that?
I know we come from different spheres, but if kidnapping only takes about 60,000 NUION, I might want to invest in better security.
Sixteen.
It's not even that good.
You, of course, I think people would pay more for.
Doesn't that feel wonderful?
There are multiple of us, so it's multiple tens of thousands.
Indeed. Fair enough.
Alright, so what's happening?
We've, D&D, we've established that we're going to be meeting in a car lot.
Yeah, I had my headphones on the whole time, so I heard.
I just couldn't speak because my microphone's up here, and I went downstairs.
I have to go talk to Neil, or Niall, my contact.
He's a Auburn beat cop.
So everything's established now?
I think so.
In that case, Boxer is going to go back to her little room in the Sembivar, and among her gear checking, she's going to be checking a, I believe it was some kind of hard drive or something that the, was it Colonel?
Colonel? Colonel Holland gave her.
She's going to check that out.
And then, uh, address that when it's convenient.
So, you know, I have to do it now.
Okay, so Boxer's heading back to Sembivar?
Yes.
What was the thing that concerned me?
She mentioned something about invisibility, and me.
That was for getting inside of the office, but I think it'd be easier to just levitate up, honestly.
So we can just. Are we trying to get on top of the office?
Yep.
It looks different on cameras, so we could just, D and Drey could just walk through.
Because it would be odd if the elevator, like, opened the doors, went up, and closed the door, opened the doors again, with no one in it.
A tiny issue.
You have to think through D about this.
We don't know what this person is coming to do, but it could be possible that they're bringing drones along.
And those drones, well, why would they be there?
They would be for security, to observe and ensure that there's no one like us up on a roof.
It would be more secure if we had some awning to cover us, and or, you know, a window to look out from, as opposed to just being completely exposed up on the top of the building.
But is there an abandoned floor on that, in that building that we can get into?
Well, that's a great question.
If they're renting out spaces, perhaps there's an unrented space.
Who's got the, who's got the highest edge in the team?
I do, three.
Alright.
Is two really the highest edge?
Yep.
We've established this.
Just edge.
Pretty crazy.
We're not very lucky.
Wait, I gotta read bad luck too.
I think that only applies to using an edge effect.
Yep.
I have bad luck.
Highest edge in the team, and you have bad luck.
Mm-hmm.
That's unfortunate.
Yep.
And God really doesn't like us.
God doesn't have to like us.
We're too good.
Whenever she uses edge, roll a 1-day-6 on her result.
So you're not really using edge in this case.
I got it.
Yeah.
So quick matrix search on the building shows that there is indeed some mid-level floor
areas, offices that are currently vacant.
Then we appear to be in business.
We just need to get there.
Get the cameras looping, I guess.
Hmm.
Well, yeah.
Let's call a grid guide, and I'll hack on the way to the Samovar and in the Samovar.
So unless you need me for anything, I will be busy.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with you.
I think something weird about this place.
I think we should get out of here.
I gotta go meet, uh, Niall.
You know me.
I like to be with you.
All right, we'll meet back at the Samovar in a couple of hours.
Why don't we meet at the location?
Or should we meet at the Samovar?
So we wanted to do this today, right?
I do believe so.
I guess we need to call George and actually get established and meet with him.
I'll get it.
What's the address?
Address here.
What's the place in Auburn?
Yeah.
DeAndre writes the location down and puts her Bluetooth earbud in and calls George as
she goes to get on her bike to drive to Auburn.
We're in, uh...
We're in Tacoma.
Yeah, we're in Tacoma, so we have to drive to Auburn.
Okay, and everybody else is heading back to Samovar?
Grid guide?
Basically all in the same grid guide?
Yeah.
Um, Nightingale would want to do a funny equipment check with, uh...
Sorry.
Nightingale would want to do the equipment check stuff with Boxer just because she obviously
knows more.
Yeah.
Alright.
DeAndre, you call George's com.
It rings maybe three times and you hear his voice on the other end of the line.
Yep.
Who's this?
Uh, DeAndre does like our full introduction and spirit though.
DeAndre, and like she lists her titles and accomplishments.
It's like a minute of introduction.
We met the other night.
Uh, uh, Gracie.
Whatever his name is.
Gracie Benz.
Yep.
I remember you guys.
So this is the, the Elven woman, right?
What made you guess that?
I believe you...
Ah, you got me.
Fine.
Alright.
So what do you got?
You guys want to get a meet?
I've got the, uh, I've got the recording of, uh, my cadet telling this Mr. Johnson to
get lost.
She, uh, as soon as I told her what was going on, she pretty much understood, recognized
who this, the only person this could be.
So we've got a location picked out.
If it's a minimal to you, she says the location.
Uh, if it's, if it's kosher, we should meet today if possible.
Yeah.
Exactly.
My thoughts too.
All right.
What time do you want to meet?
Mid afternoon.
So DeAndre would say an exact time, like 5 PM at 1700.
At the very latest.
Cause it's like evening.
It's evening.
Pretty much.
Wage slaves have longer work hours than we do now.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I guess they can make that work.
I'll have to set up some, uh, somebody to take my PT time.
But anyways, we'll make that work.
I'll see you there.
He hangs up.
Uh, she immediately calls, uh, Neil, her beat cup friend.
Well, three connection three, he picks up pretty much right away as well.
Hey DeAndre.
I believe we would be talking in Spirithial because younger elves would be more like likely
to learn Spirithial, I guess.
Yeah.
So, um, Hey Neil, um, I have a bit of a weird question.
You know, I've been looking for my brother.
Yeah.
Uh, I haven't heard anything yet.
I know you, you had a couple of leads, but I haven't.
Yeah.
I've followed one of my leads for a bit and I've, I need to meet a guy in a place rather
like it.
If you could tell me if any night errand people are going to come around there while I'm still
there.
Oh, yeah.
I know it's a big ask.
Um, I'll be in, uh, I guess I could say you could say if you could do this for me.
Sure.
So what exactly you want me to make sure?
No, no random patrols.
I don't, you don't have to make sure no, but just, I want to know if like something more
than a patrol goes near them.
Like patrols will just pass us by where we're having to, we're just going to have a conversation,
but I don't really want to be caught in a storm if you get my meaning.
Well, I don't think we've got anything planned over that way.
Um, there's plenty of security over there already.
Yeah.
You know that there's a bunch of security cameras over that car lot, right?
Yep.
Uh, we're meeting in the building.
So, right.
Isn't that what we were doing?
Or did we choose the car lot?
No, I think you're using the building as overwatch.
The car lot is the, the open area where you're going to meet unless I misunderstood that.
I thought we were going to meet on an unrented floor, but I guess overwatch is on.
Oh no, that's the overwatch.
Yeah.
Uh, we're meeting in the car park and parking lot.
Yeah, we should, we should be fine.
I don't think anything will happen.
Uh, we just need to talk.
I just need to talk to the guy, but I'd rather like it if, uh, you could tell me if there's
storm brewing.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
I'll, I'll definitely be in touch.
You know, we got to stick together out here.
Uh, and what's your next day off?
Uh, let's see.
Uh, so probably Thursday.
Why don't we go to that, uh, elephant hole in the wall?
Yeah, I'd like that.
For come, uh, on Thursday.
My treat.
Awesome.
I like that even better.
I just have to warn you, I may or may not have tag along.
I've been taking care of a friend of mine's kid, if you catch my mean.
Uh, normies, huh?
Yep.
You do know how to pick them.
Certainly.
It seems they like to follow me around, so.
But, you know, stay in touch, you know?
Yeah.
Uh, sorry I didn't have any more news on your brother.
Yeah, that's fine.
To be honest, I think something real bad happened.
Uh, don't say that.
Something will turn up.
Uh, I've got a trail right now, so we'll see what turns up tonight.
I'll keep you updated.
All right.
Be safe out there.
I will.
Thank you.
You too.
All right.
The rest of you guys have sh- are back at Samovar and are basically headed off to collect your gear and get ready, right?
Yeah.
I was going to remark that we are probably going to want to, um, what do you call it?
We will probably want to, um, suppress the security in the building that we're going to be, uh, using as Overwatch.
As in, you know, like, the actual systems.
That is a job for a hacker.
Which we are, Decker.
Cecile, what do you need me to do?
We need you to deal with some of the security in the office.
Uh, we're going to keep a rather tight profile within there, so it should be the specific small-scale systems.
And I doubt they're expecting people to, um, bother with exactly what we're doing, so I imagine security will be late.
What security do you need turned off in the building?
Cameras along our routes, the abandoned office building, and the cameras and other security within the abandoned, uh, street we are going to be using.
Yeah, well, I'm thinking we're probably going to have to break a window.
You want them off instead of on and us looking at them?
Yes.
Specifically where we're going to be doing Overwatch.
Wouldn't you rather have them, like, looping so that the cameras don't just cut out for an hour or so?
So just so I understand it, you don't want us to have direct access to cameras looking where we're not currently in case someone walks up behind you.
I wasn't thinking that hard about it.
I just wanted to make sure I understand.
What I was saying that we need to do is that we need to...
I have a sense for these things, I guess.
I'd rather not have a camera looking at our back, you know?
I'd rather not have to worry about security bursting in as opposed to the possibility of someone coming in.
And as I said, I have been hearing.
I can...
I do too.
Yeah, see? I just have a sense, you know, when people are moving around me.
I'm also more worried about alarms than cameras.
Yes.
But whenever we break that window, it's going to start screaming and then they're going to send, like, a response team?
Yes.
Response team for a broken window?
I don't know.
It could be cleaning people.
It could be a single beat.
It could be a single...
What's the term?
Rent a cop.
Either way, I don't want to have to deal with them because every second I'm distracted by them,
it's the second I do not have my weapon on the target and any possible security they have brought.
But a more pertinent concern, because I will not be down there with anything to help you.
It will be just you and the sword person.
The ender.
And Ice.
I suppose Ice...
I'm sure Ice is competent, but I do not like leaving these things to chance.
I would rather remove the chance of security stumbling in on us because of a broken window than to have to contend with something I am pretty confident that I have handled.
And also, the horse can always be my...
So you can always assist me, provide security as well as magical support for you down there.
I get it.
You're paranoid and wrong.
I'll turn off the cameras.
Now leave me to my work.
Right.
So are we back at the Samovar or on the way?
Yep, you're back at the Samovar.
We're back at the Samovar, which seems pretty quiet this time of day.
Okay.
Steel's going to go into her room and just start hacking.
Paul, I presume we don't really have time to roll that out anyway, so let's hand wave it and say that these security cameras aren't much of a challenge.
No, I don't think they would be.
I mean, there's just a lot of them, so it probably takes you most of the rest of the afternoon to... rest of the morning to hack and, you know, establish marks on the cameras and get admin rights on them.
Marks.
Admin access.
Yep.
Give me that admin.
Anyhow, Boxer, she's checking that file she got and also cleaning out her guns.
I imagine she can like have it read to her while she is doing her.
Sure.
Do you have any headwear or anything like that?
Do you have any place to slug in?
Cyber ears.
And also she has a data jack on her neck.
Okay, so you basically can...
Yeah, she can just slap it in and then put it on brain play.
Yep.
What it looks like is a job and it looks like it's a run on a warehouse and it's an arm shipment or some other kind of military equipment.
And the thing that you catch right away is that it's not located in Seattle.
It's actually located in Azatlan territory.
Oh, gosh.
And that apparently is the price of...
Freedom.
Yep.
Closing your account amicably.
Is there a time?
What's the time on this?
It doesn't seem to have...
Well, let me think about that for a minute.
Let's just say you have some time at this point.
Some time.
All right. Enough time.
I'm assuming that means...
Yes.
All right.
But basically they want the warehouse hit.
Doesn't matter how loud or quiet you do it, but you have several serial numbers for containers that are to be retrieved and brought back to the Seattle area.
Retrieved? How large are these containers?
They're not small.
They aren't like industrial shipping containers like you'd see on a container ship, are they?
They are smaller versions of those.
They're cubes.
They're smaller versions of industrial shipping containers.
Oh, boy.
For retrieval.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
She's marking that away to freak out about later. For now, it's business time.
Freak out about later.
For good measure, Cecile, you've got marks on the elevators in the office building.
Security is not tight.
None of these, neither the car lot nor the office building are high security or expecting any kind of threats.
These are small.
I'm sure it's like, oh, hey, you asked for it? Sure, here you have it.
Yep.
Basically.
It's not even really a crime.
They're basically asking for it.
Yep.
You probably guessed the password for one or two of them right off the bat without even trying.
Who needs a dictionary attack?
What's the password?
Password?
Or at least one of them?
Password 123.
Cecile probably looked up and was like, oh, it's the default password that the manufacturer provided.
Yeah, exactly.
It's just the string of numbers and the string of numbers is always the same.
The harder part is actually entering the numbers in correctly.
I don't think Cecile has a problem with that.
I always have that problem when they have that weird Wi-Fi password. It's like, why?
All right, so everybody's geared up.
D'Ander, you're geared up too?
Yep. I left the Samovar earlier today with all the gear I'd need for the day.
Okay.
I've got swords, gun, stick and shock.
Is everybody running preloaded with stick and shock or gel?
Yep.
Yeah, I feel like gel would be more useful if you're shooting from afar.
What's the range? No, never mind.
I think the range is the same on the stick and shock, so they have similar ballistics or something.
They're designed so that they have similar ballistics too.
Do I have to run hand waving?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're the same.
We can make these bullets explosive. It's fine.
In that case, she has a... let's see what toys I get to break out this time.
I love playing with my toys.
But let's see. She's bringing with her her fancy sniper rifle. It was quite expensive.
That's going to be disassembled in a bag.
She's also bringing a couple of reloads for that. She'll need them, but it's best to have them.
Let's see. She always has her snazzy handgun.
Snazzy. She loves it.
And the way only a gun nut can.
And aside from that, also disassembled, she is bringing the HK submachine gun.
And you guys are wearing your armor. I take it.
I have to give Cecile just armor clothing because Cecile is weak and I assume she wouldn't wear something that would have her agility.
We'll just consider it an armor vest.
Yeah, I remember her picking up an armor vest when you guys were in the armor.
All right, so who's going into the the office building? Boxer?
And the horse.
And Nightingale. OK.
And so Diendir and Cecile and Ice are going to meet George.
The girl and her dog were busy. It was national dog day. Gotta pet the dog.
All right. So you guys are heading out. You guys are ready?
Yes.
I should mention, since Boxer was so adamant about the cameras, Cecile just has actually turned off the cameras completely.
And she can't even turn them back on. They're just dead.
OK, good. That can't go poorly.
Yay.
Listen, if you tell a hacker exactly what they need to do, they get a little bit pissy about it.
You ever tried telling someone how to do their job? They don't like it.
All right. So you guys are off. I imagine you're in separate vehicles or same vehicles.
I can put one person on the bike, but we've established that Norm Girl does not like to ride on the bike.
Death traps.
There are no advanced safety features on a motorcycle.
And I believe we've already established that Ice, for whatever reason, is not going to ride on the bike with you.
Well, I guess they're taking a grid guide, and I'm taking my bike.
Are they in... I believe there's a van. We're using the van this time.
Taking a grid guide to the scene of the crime seems like a bad idea.
You don't take the grid guide to the scene of the crime. You take it a couple blocks away and then walk.
Are you telling me Cecile knows that?
She probably told me.
No, not. Ice wouldn't stop her.
Ice would not, no.
Cecile's read enough crime fiction.
Oh, that's true.
Cecile's written enough crime fiction.
Yeah, for real.
Oh gosh. Oh no.
Alright, so Boxer and Grace, you guys are headed out in Boxer's vehicle or Grace's vehicle?
Sorry, how is this working? I don't really need to know.
We're just going to get there.
I think we're taking the van.
Okay.
Alright. You pull up at the designated location. Boxer and Grace, you get out.
You go into the building. The elevator takes you up to the floor that you've pre-designated.
You find the office number that is currently vacant. However, the door is locked.
Is it an electronic door?
Must are.
Yep, it is a mag lock.
Can Cecile just open that if Boxer complains?
Cecile's not there.
He's complaining again.
So Cecile's out, headed towards the car lot with Ice and Dandir.
Oh my god. There's an intense temptation. Never mind. It's a very niche reference.
Anyway, Boxer's just frowning at the door. See, at the moment, her pride is battling with her inability to get through this door without breaking the door.
So she turns to Nightgall. I don't suppose you can peek a lock?
