Raid on Oscorp Metropolis

by Feral

Thursday, October 15, 2009

 
We don't need specially prepared containers for the samples we are supposed to get, at least not for the things we have heard about so far.

 
Five patients are missing.

 
We are supposed to try to find them.

 
More importantly: we are instructed to find out what Oscrop is up to, because they suddenly set up a new project in southern Metropolis a few days before these five patients vanished from their NYC care center.

 
  • Dr. Don will focus on patient medical care.

    •  
  • Dr. Steven will focus on neutralizing any ooze samples Oscorp may have.

    •  
  • Dr. Adel will get the database and dig out useful intel from it.

 

(So far, Martin and I are going to be doing bodyguard services.)


 
Dr. Gironde's biggest concern, beyond the possibility of a supersoldier program, is that the secret backer could be Hammer Empire or Inf Inc.

 
The building in question is four stories tall, squat and rectangular with a lot of windows.

Don has a great idea for a plan to get in: we disguise the Gironde School's bus to be a medical bus. Change out the tires and license plate, cover the VIN and so forth to appear to be a different vehicle. Put the four human-looking team members in scrubs with forged medical identification, show up with booster shots to deal with a supposedly pre-arranged (forged by Blackjack) on-site medical thing.

 
It will take a couple of days to make all of our arrangements.

I leave the meeting on Thursday night to go do a remote site observation of the target. I plan on also observing the process on Friday morning and on Saturday morning, so that when we hit Saturday late, any security scans that may have gotten suspicious of me will be expecting trouble in the morning rather than the actual time we use.

 
Security in general is the usual "corporate security" for a typical building, looks just a smidgen better armed and armored than rent-a-cop. They're wearing armored vests and comms gear. During the evening shift change on Thursday, I see that the employees go through an airlock system. They use a keycard and also a voice recognition (possibly specific password phrase for a vocal password?) test for entering or leaving.

My voice is my password.

Bugger.

 
I go to Don's place and bang on the door until he wakes up and lets me talk to Dr. Adel.

She does the nanotech thing.

She can set up a passive audio-and-subsonic recorder that will last 10 hours, then drop off the target and go inert so I can pick it up.

Among the people heading to work on Friday morning is an older gentleman wearing a hat when he comes off the bus for his morning shift. I lace him with the nanotech and duck out of sight. He heads on into the target site after a moment, not getting stopped by security.

Time to go home for sleep and some food. I'll come back at 2:30 to be watching in case this man leaves early on a Friday.

I can't collect the clump of nanobots until after 4 in the afternoon, so I might have to follow this man around for a bit. But once they drop off, I collect them as soon as he leaves the area and I take them back to Dr. Adel for extraction and analysis.

The intensity of security once we pull up, even though they aren't hostile, is WAY above what there should have been. They don't turn us away but they do turn up the security intensity a LOT.

I have to warn Medkit off of saying anything while we're in the bus -- there might be a long-range microphone pointed at the glass of the bus windows, picking up vibrations from anything said inside.

(We overhear someone say something about a project called "Paragon".)

Then I have to conceal myself and slow my metabolism.

Wait for Security to decide to come search the medical bus.

Wait for them to stop watching it waiting for me to come out anyway.

And only then, hurry over to the elevator shaft and slip inside through the emergency fire access.

 
At shift change during maximum complicated activity, I warn the team of my plan. Once Dr. A has made it up to floor 3, I use the tips of my claws on one of the elevator brakes near me. Get a chunk of it to shear off and rattle down the shaft. Then climb into the other elevator access shaft, if I can get to it quickly, and climb down as fast as I can go without falling. How many floors down below ground level does this building go?
