Did you know they just sell elevator keys?

There's only three companies that make elevators on the station. Get each of their generic maintenance keys, get the station standard one that fits 80% of the elevators (after all, the companies only do retrofitting and new construction, November made most of the station herself), and you have your start to a key ring of doom. Anybody can switch out their elevator's keys, but precious few think to.

Amazon didn't even bother with any retrofitting: the original station key worked just fine. Put a sign on the elevator saying it's undergoing maintenance, we're sorry for the inconvenience, lock it open on the third floor, and then go in on the second and down a ladder. Ladder was the hardest part, those are made for people that have legs. Once she's there, she starts sorting. Unzip the Roofdash Delivery Device (Large) that Roofdash had given her after her first delivery and put it on the ground. Terrible size for anything actually practical, too large for most small deliveries and too small for any real business delivery, so of course it's good to help the homeless move squats.

Sleeping bags a no-go, same for the insulation. Rice cooker's old, so he'll want that. Hotplate's new, so he'll want that. All the suits go in the bag, vest in the bag, spices in the bag. Laptop in the bag, camera bag into the bag, and we've gotten all we're getting but that's okay, it's most of the stuff, and she's got a sleeping bag to spare if he needs it. No luck on the minifridge but, well, they can figure that out.

Hotplate back [i]out[/i] of the bag.

The store tag's the obvious tracker. But Amazon didn't live where Walmart died by being stupid. Dumb, but not stupid. She's heard about spraying items with resin that manages, through some science that she doesn't understand, to make a relay antenna loud enough to get detected a few feet away. Combine that with a narrow set of exits, all with scanners, and they can find the shoplifters and have a Friendly Amazon Security Coordinator come out to gently collect the goods and you. One of the people she was in jail with, before the trial, swore up and down that's how they found him. He'd gotten 60 days minimum security. She opens up the hotplate with those handy, quasilegal tools built into her prosthetics. Feel along the inside edges, eyes closed in concentration. Find the texture, find where the smooth metal becomes ever so slightly pebbly. And then take out a knife and scrape that spot good and clean. Not enough dots, no antenna, no alarms.

And one more Roofdash contractor leaves the building.
