"Don't worry about it Tobi. SAL got in just fine, and no one's taken more than a second glance at you. Not uncommon for people of our caliber to have 'security robots' escorting them around public spaces. As far as anyone's concerned, that's all you are." Stryker turned back to his drinking mates apologetically "Sorry about that, you were saying?" "Right well, for us to truly know this position, if we are going to be staging the attack here, and take away Sol's home field advantage then we need to see everything, particularly in the back." Carver said without missing a beat "Now, I don't know about you, but I find it doubtful he lets anyone poke around his secret HQ, that's where the plan comes in..." They were interrupted by a commotion on the other end of the bar. Tibulus was involved, but it ended as quickly as it began. Stryker's hand sunk into his jacket, reaching for his pistol in case it escalated. "Hold on" Kira said, noticing his movement "It's fine, they're calm, now sit down before someone notices." She was right. It was lucky enough that the natural din of the bar was enough to hide their already hushed voices. If anyone heard them talking, the plan would be fucked before it ever began. "So what we need is a diversion. Distract everyone out front while a group pokes around back" Carver resumed "Say, two guys from each of our crews 'have a little too much' and get rowdy, an extra person gets involved and suddenly we have ourselves a nice big spectacle, lots of eyes on it, but no one's gonna get involved or do anything stupid, especially once the third pair enter the brawl and they realize its a crew thing. The guards might step in if it gets out of hand, but by that point, we step in ourselves to break it up. Meanwhile, everyone else sitting around can carry on with the analytics of it all. Once everything's clear and we 'calm down our guys' we leave separately, get off the station and rendezvous elsewhere to plan it all out with the intel we've gathered." [@Simple Unicycle][@Banana][@Silver Carrot] "Just crazy enough to work" Kira remarked "I'll lead the recon group, take Seth and Ace. Brought a couple photosonic scanners along. The data from those alone will be useful enough intel to build a 3D model of the area." "Take a few of mine" Stryker volunteered, discretely pointing them out "Taleste is our infiltration specialist, could be useful if you come across any locked doors. And Tibulus there should get out of here for a little, lest the big guy wake up and want to make another run at him." "Sounds good to me" Carver said "As for the diversion, Marcus and Ian are good candidates from our side. They've both been known to drink on occasion" he said the last bit with a knowing smile to his wife, Stryker clearly wasn't in on the joke" [@BKburke][@baranica] "Grayson and Joe" Stryker said "They'll be our guys. And Tobi'll jump in after, when the time comes to escalate" "Ranks are already gettin' a little thin, I suppose Raisin will help drive things up a level. She's got a mean right hook." "I'll tell them to keep an eye on it." [@Dark Light][@Xandrya][@Dealdric][[@Azereiah][@Tickout] "So that leaves everybody else to make up our last two units, the peacemakers and analytics." Carver said before draining his drink "As captains, we'll have to jump in, help break it up, my quartermaster too." "I've got a couple could help. The Dalentian over there, one of the most powerful psionics I've ever seen. As for analytics, my doctor's always shown himself to be observant. Couple of cybers too, SAL and Rento, they'll have this place completely mapped out with a single glance." "So that's it then, that's our plan. Get the word out." Stryker whispered the details of the plan to the team over their encrypted comms channel. Everyone was asked to pass along the intel to anyone who forgot to slip in their earpiece before leaving the ship. As he spoke, he set up a new encrypted comms network with his datapad, so both crews could be in full communication on the mission. With everyone now in the loop, Stryker put the datapad away and sat back, watching and waiting out the time before Grayson made his move." [OOC: Weird place to stop I know, but I was under a bit of a time constraint, so continue to mingle in the bar until it's appropriate for me to post again. Also, apologies if I forgot to tag anyone, yell at me in the OOC if I did]
