Butch looks around, trying to spot any cameras in the place.
"We really need some bounties, guys. Seriously."

"We used up all our cash on the car rentals and the tranquilizers didn't we?"

Crystal tries to check out the security at the pancake place

"Maybe we can put those tranqs to good use?"

Not Aman · « **Reply #102 on:** June 06, 2016, 03:33:41 pm »

"No."

Drakilian · « **Reply #103 on:** June 06, 2016, 04:40:07 pm »

"Hey, they'd wake up well rested, unharmed and probably get payed for work they didn't have to do!"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #104 on:** June 06, 2016, 04:40:26 pm »

The only noteworthy camera in the place is over the cash register.

Other than that, security is at a minimum - though the place is packed with customers this early in the morning.

'Rachel', the sixteen year old server, comes with the check and places it down in front of Captain Montoya. It's a big one. Even without a tip (poor Rachel

) it's still substantial, not that it really matters at the moment.

"I can get that whenever you're ready," Rachel smiles.

Damn, she was an excellent server, she deserves a big tip!

Drakilian · « **Reply #105 on:** June 06, 2016, 04:42:00 pm »

"Alright Gilbert, now's your time to shine. Seduce the lady!", Crystal whispers urgently into the group coms, hiding her mouth movements.

killa_robot · « **Reply #106 on:** June 06, 2016, 06:22:57 pm »

Gilbert shoots Crystal a quick glare then looks at Rachel, beginning to sweat profusely. He knows the kinds of terrifying things Crystal will do to him if he doesn't obey her, so he doesn't dare protest.

"H-hey baby. Wanna c-come back to my ship for some, er, hot pockets?"

Sam bursts out laughing.

"I'm sorry. Oh my god. DUDE Hotpockets!?"

The laughter continues...

"Oh, you're too much!" the young lady replies to Gilbert with a polite giggle, as she walks away to tend another table.

Montoya quickly tries to hack the camera above the till, trying to review footage of the last few hours and overnight on high speed fast forward incase somthing catches his eye. Snagging a thief or corrupt staff could get them off the bill as well as serve justice!

"Everyone check the crowd for bounties or suspicious people." she stage whispers.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #110 on:** June 06, 2016, 07:40:41 pm »

Montoya finds nothing untoward in the establishment's security record. Nor does there appear to be any bounties among the patrons (present company excluded).

Forge · « **Reply #111 on:** June 06, 2016, 08:01:09 pm »

While he has access to the systems Montoya runs through staff members, cross referencing with criminal records involving drugs. Also with the Internet in general to see if they posted picks of them with drug parafinalia online anywhere.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #112 on:** June 06, 2016, 08:03:48 pm »

A complete lack of network security and Montoya's curiosity are all that it takes to pin the cook as 'their man'.

Aeon_spiral · « **Reply #113 on:** June 06, 2016, 08:04:46 pm »

Sam meanwhile gets up "Headed to the John. Be back in a minute. " he also looks for their waitress to ask her if anyone from Wongs factory frequents the establishment. ..

Forge · « **Reply #114 on:** June 06, 2016, 08:06:22 pm »

Montoya calls the waitress over after Sam asks a question "My lovely lady! Before we pay I'd love to chat to the cook! He did amazing things with what I think we're eggs!"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #115 on:** June 07, 2016, 07:17:57 am »

Sam asks the waitress about Wongs, but she replies that she doesn't know where all the customers come in from.

When Captain Montoya mentions speaking to the chef, the girl agrees to go fetch him.

A minute or two later, a grungy strung-out-looking dude in an white apron over a TMNT t-shirt comes out from the back to the team's table.

With a goofy grin, he says, "Hey amigos! Rachel says you really liked the grub. Tubular man, haha!"

---

Cillian meanwhile, consults his lopan the whole time.

Rachel is an unremarkably normal girl a third of Gilbert's age, while the chef is a good natured pot head.

Forge · « **Reply #116 on:** June 07, 2016, 11:39:42 am »

Montoya very carefully slides 4 trancs into view "The food was wonderful!" He says loudly "so we thought we'd offer you these at a good cost" he adds very quietly

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #117 on:** June 07, 2016, 01:59:44 pm »

"Oh, what? For me?" the chef asks, looking around nervously, but with a thirsty look in his eyes.

"How much do you want for them?" he leans in to whisper...

Forge · « **Reply #118 on:** June 07, 2016, 02:51:06 pm »

"Normally 2000 each right, so say 7500 for the 4?" Montoya whispers back, covering them over with a napkin so others wouldn't see what is happening

Not Aman · « **Reply #119 on:** June 07, 2016, 03:06:24 pm »

"I don't like the idea of selling drugs to kids, Montoya." Butch says. "We can get outta this without selling drugs."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #120 on:** June 07, 2016, 06:38:07 pm »

"Whoa, who's going to sell to kids?" the chef replies, "Strictly for the responsible grown up types!"

Then pondering a bit he adds, "But yeah, I don't really do those... Now, if you had some premo green (weed), then I would be interested, haha!"

"How about 7000 for the 4 and you can trade up tonight. You know you'll come out of the deal much better!" Montoya replies encouragingly

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #122 on:** June 08, 2016, 12:51:00 pm »

"Yeah, I don't really have that kind of money to spend..." the chef admits, "might be able to swing for one though... eh?"

killa_robot · « **Reply #123 on:** June 08, 2016, 06:52:33 pm »

Gilbert blankly stares at the table, unable to muster a thought after his incredibly harsh (in his eyes) rejection.

Forge · « **Reply #124 on:** June 08, 2016, 06:57:36 pm »

Montoya acts like he is thinking for a minute "how about pay for 1, and trade 2 for the meal?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #125 on:** June 09, 2016, 07:50:06 am »

"Hey yeah!" the chef grins, "Good idea!"

"Let me see your bill; I'll comp it for you! Hehehe!"

As he takes the check, he leans in and whispers to Montoya. "One of you meet me around back at the kitchen door. We'll make the trade for them there. Too risky in here."

Forge · « **Reply #126 on:** June 09, 2016, 02:29:46 pm »

Montoya nods "out back in two minutes then." Once clear he asks the crew "So! Crisis averted and we don't need to steal, just trade some of the drugs for the food! Who wants to make the trade out back?" He asks in a slightly better whisper than normal.

Not Aman · « **Reply #127 on:** June 09, 2016, 03:51:04 pm »

"Feels wrong to be trading tranqs. Those are dangerous. Sure he won't try and roofie someone?" Butch asks, mostly to Cillian. The kid knows this stuff. Somehow.

Aeon_spiral · « **Reply #128 on:** June 09, 2016, 04:25:22 pm »

Sam walks back from the restroom and looks at the crew talking among each other. Sitting down he asks to Montoya: "Whats the deal? We figure anything out?"

Montoya replies "Made a deal with the cook bout trading 3 trancs to cover the meal and get some credits too, there are a few reservations about trading them though." He glances around before leaning in dramatically to stage whisper to the crew "We are out of time though, we have to send someone out to meet the cook for the trade or we have to dine and dash right away! I would feel terrible not leaving a good tip though, our lovely serving wench was very pleasant today!"

Sethaniel · « **Reply #130 on:** June 09, 2016, 08:00:57 pm »

". . . I can go if you want. . . ?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #131 on:** June 10, 2016, 10:10:27 am »

The crew heads out, free to go, as the chef has picked up the check.

Cillian meets the chef out in the alley behind the restaurant at the kitchen door, to wrap up their transaction. It goes without a hitch and he now has some cash for the team to work with.

As Gilbert is leaving, the cashier waves him over and hands him a folded paper note, explaining that it is from the server Rachel...

killa_robot · « **Reply #132 on:** June 10, 2016, 11:25:34 am »

Gilbert stealthily reads the paper, trying to make sure no one else notices.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #133 on:** June 10, 2016, 11:43:57 am »

The note reads:

"Hey big boy

- I wasn't able to say anything at the table, but you look like the sort of man who can treat a girl right and provide for all her material needs. I can be you sugar girl if you can be my sugar daddy.

"

"What do you say? Meet me at Laurel Park, tonight at 6:30 pm, if you want a sample of what I can do for you. Bring a sample of what you can do for me.

"

"~Racy Rayray."

killa_robot · « **Reply #134 on:** June 10, 2016, 11:55:34 am »

Gilbert hastily puts the note into his pocket and works to prevent himself from hyperventilating. He didn't think he'd be able to woe the girl, and she seems to be using him for money, but that's perfectly fine with him!

Now he just needs to think of an appropriate gift, and plan around the stakeout tonight.

Aeon_spiral · « **Reply #135 on:** June 12, 2016, 01:48:22 pm »

"So, back to the Dandy?" Sam lights up a smoke and rolls it between his fingers as he waits for someone to decide something

Forge · « **Reply #136 on:** June 12, 2016, 06:29:27 pm »

"So long as we aren't being followed, back to the dandy to save on food and costs till our meeting!" Montoya annouces as if saving in costs is a grand purpose

"You know, I had entirely forgotten about that!" He Replies "Not like me that, we do indeed need to do some recon there. We thinking two teams, one infiltration and the other in the door as 'clients' or all stick together on this one?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #139 on:** June 15, 2016, 09:34:56 pm »

Finding Wong’s Fortune Cookie Works is easy enough – as the team already has the address.

As the SUVs drive up to the building, everyone sees that an eight foot high chain-link fence with barbwire top surrounds it, while a gate in the fence opens into the parking lot in front of the building. The gate is currently closed and locked and Wong’s appears completely unmanned during daylight hours.

The facility itself is comprised of a hundred foot long, sixty foot wide, thirty-five foot high, steel-sided, flat-roofed warehouse-like segment, with an attached seventy-five by thirty-five foot cinderblock front office area, and a forty-five by forty foot cinderblock connected shipping annex, both of which are have twelve-foot high sheet-metal roofs.

A number of steel doors and scrolling metal warehouse doors open into the building - all appearing well secured at the moment.

Forge · « **Reply #140 on:** June 15, 2016, 11:15:27 pm »

Montoya nods "Well this is more like it! Sneaking into a suspicious warehouse to foil the plans of evil doers!"

He jumps out of the SUV but stays by the door with it open "Gil, hack any cameras in the area so they can't see us while we break in to investigate!" He pauses "And disable alarms and such too!"

He heads to the back of the vehicle to gear up.

". . . they have really good security . . . for a fortune cookie factory. . ."

Not Aman · « **Reply #143 on:** June 16, 2016, 03:34:47 pm »

"Think we have to break in? I bet Gill could pose as some fatass wanting to buy fortune cookie's at factory price. We could get him and Cill a tour."

killa_robot · « **Reply #144 on:** June 16, 2016, 05:15:15 pm »

Gilbert looks away from Butch, ignoring his comment.

Assuming he can, he attempts to hack into the company's internal network, to find blueprints or anything else useful.

Cillian is secretly disappointed at not getting to tour a cookie factory.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #146 on:** June 16, 2016, 09:57:06 pm »

Gilbert searches the local networks and doesn't find the cookie factory. It's quite possible that it only has hard-wired security within.

He does note however, that the air above is still thick with drones, and one of those mid-grade security ones is hovering overhead about two miles up (far enough to be invisible to the naked eye)...

Aeon_spiral · « **Reply #147 on:** June 17, 2016, 11:30:33 am »

"Well I've got many such tools here that could help us get in. Being a scrapper has its perks sometimes." Sam pulls out a hunk of thermite from his pack and also a steel cutting tool and holds them both up for the party to see.

"Pick your poison" He says smiling at the opportunity to do something useful this trip other than drive.

Forge · « **Reply #148 on:** June 17, 2016, 03:00:23 pm »

"How is it going Gil? We ready to move in?"

Montoya calls forward while rummaging through his stuff in the trunk.

killa_robot · « **Reply #149 on:** June 17, 2016, 03:59:11 pm »

"N-no. But we're being watch, so we should leave, quickly," Gilbert replies.
