[quote=@Tank O The Lake] *Naomi collects the ID cards and hands them over. The officer goes through them, occasionally looking up at the three, then hands them back with a nod.* MIA OFFICER: Your Chinese is good, Ms. Lovelace, but you must work on your accent. Enjoy your stay in Hong Kong, ma'am. NAOMI: Of course, sir. Thank you, sir. *They hurry off towards the metro and board; Naomi looks a little shaky after what just happened, and it's too crowded in here to dare talk about the job. It's only when they get out and towards the deserted city limits that she starts talking again.* NAOMI: We're going to be hitting the onshore loading dock in order to get to the place. The blacksite itself is an underwater complex; it's only got one entrance we could hope to use, a maintenance tunnel setup that runs under the seabed. The doors automatically lock if they detect unidentified persons around them, and we wouldn't even get close enough to trigger that if the place is guarded as heavily as it normally is, so Mr. Lucy's gotten in touch with some buddies in the local resistance, and they've made arrangements. Once we're in position, they're going to make a distraction, and part of that'll be detonating a low-power EMP bomb near the complex. It won't take out the power entirely, but it'll knock out anything sensitive, communications, surveillance systems, all that. It'll stop the doors from locking, too, since they'll go into a failsafe mode without their linked cameras. Once we're in, we'll make a beeline for their data analysis cluster and grab Drive 24C; it's a black storage drive, shaped like a book, about yea big, probably stored in a cryofreeze briefcase sorta thing. *She holds out her hands about twenty centimeters apart.* NAOMI: The second the drive is disconnected from the main network, every alarm in the complex will go off, so we'll set another EMP inside the complex, blow it, and go out the way we came once the lights are out. We'll have to run like hell, but we can make it. *She chuckles sardonically.* NAOMI: I'm gonna take the biggest fuckin' nap of my life after this. [/quote] You make it sound like they have insiders. If they have people who can go and grab this on their own, why ask us to?
