CY_BORG: VIP Abduction

[Stormbringer]

Zola's RCD scans the memory stick and he realises it has a VIRUS on it!

However, he's able to detect this right away and pulls it straight back out.

[Animalmother]

So this finger in the baggie I found, it worth anything?

[Stormbringer]

Hmm. Maybe to someone?

Maybe it opens a biometric lock somewhere?

[Mantis]

Can Zola take the stash of 0=SLEEP off the goon that Volley looted?

I can use it to keep up the facade with our mark while we wait to spring our trap.

[Wrathbone]

How about we place an ad (someone else could do it, seems that's another good idea) in about 30 minutes, so an hour before our intended mark's arrival? If/when someone answers the ad we could also suggest a future time for them to arrive if we feel like it would be cutting things fine.

Sounds like a plan.

How obviously out-of-service is this mech? As in, could we position it so that it might fool someone into thinking it was in working order at a glance? I'm wondering if we could use it as intimidation when the limo arrives to persuade them to cooperate.

[Stormbringer]

It's completely dismantled. It's a mech 'kit', as it were, fully unassembled, packaged into crates.

[Wrathbone]

Back to the original plan of looking lean and mean, then.

I don't think "we've got a mech in these crates and we're not afraid to repair and assemble it over the next few days" is going to cut it.

[Stormbringer]

If it were to be fully assembled, it would be a deadly asset indeed. It's proper top-end military-grade hardware.

Cluster grenade launchers on the top. Rocket launchers on the shoulders. M.A.R.A.U.D.E.R. cannons on the arms. Laser-gun on the head.



The fact the Vipers have one stashed in a slum warehouse like this is highly irregular and disturbing.

[Animalmother]

We should at least grab its control board so thats its useless without it. We can sell it back to whoever eventually takes the mech.
