Mission 6d - Mission of Mercy

Sam further investigates the cameras to try to determine where they are located, so that he doesn't waste his time with views of the exterior streets this time.

Sam send a message to WuJen.

>>>>>>I am in the system.
>>>>>> There do not seem to be any cameras in the lower levels that I can access.
>>>>>> Can you do a magic scan for life?
>>>>>> The women will likely all be huddled close together and completely motionless and emotionless.

Sam picks out a camera or drone nearby the storage area and places a mark on it. (8 hits. Limit to 7 for sleaze)

>> I can go look. Those girls should be dead obvious from the astral. If I'm not awake in an hour, get help. Underground can be dangerous.

WuJen settles back into astral space with Little Dragon. "Keep us hidden, love."

Together, under the protection of her concealment power and taking pains to remain undetected, they return to the plant to investigate the storage area and whatever is beneath it.

To the Earth Spirit he says "Search the underground area for groups of females, particularly those with damage to their auras from cybernetic implants. I want to know their locations and numbers."

Sam moves on to a camera outside of the storage room and places a mark on it. (7 hits)

Sam easily marks another camera, getting a view of a thawing room.

Wujen bids farewell to the Earth Spirit, as it's services are now done, and then says to Little Dragon "I guess there's not much choice than to just go down there and look for ourselves. Everything seems quiet enough up here."

WuJen looks for a path to the underground section of the plant.

Fuchou tries to put a mark on the system:

Sam decides that these cameras are unlikely to show him anything interesting. He decides to turn his attention to the employee files instead. He hacks a mark onto the files, preparing to download them.

Sam is pretty sure that he is not going to be able to get any more actionable recon out of this hack. But, he sees the the system alert to Fuchou's presence, and so he decides to stick around to keep an eye on Fuchou and make sure they both can make it out of this host.

In the meantime, he idly hacks into a drone to see through its camera.

Still keeping an eye on Fuchou and the incoming IC, Sam continues marking drones. (9 hits, 7 sleaze)

Sam continues hacking into video feeds of the next either camera or drone. Whichever device he determines would best expand his field of view of the operation (so not one of the other three drones overseeing the main factory area, probably. Unless he noticed some dead spots from the first drone in that area that seems interesting).

While the hackers do their matrix stuff, Wujen looks for a path to the basement. He doesn't see a hole or anything, but he does find a part of the ground where the barrier is thinner than the rest of the ground. It is in a corner of the storage room behind some fish. Thinner meaning that Wujen could potentially push through if he tried hard enough, as opposed to the rest of the ground which would be impossible no matter how much he tried.

Meanwhile Sam ignores the alarms and continues bopping around cameras and drones. He gets a camera view of the inside of an office. A couple of men are talking. The cameras have no audio pickup though, so he can't hear anything.

((Current OS - 20))

Sam downloads a lip reading skillsoft and attempts to discern what the men are saying:

Expecting to find a door or some sort of concealed passage, WuJen looks more closely at the area and makes a note of its location.

He then returns to his body and messages Sam.

>> I think I found where the door to the underground area should be. I haven't forced my way through because it can alert whoever set the place up. I don't actually see a door there, but maybe you can find something?
-----Sent from the Sony Emperor of Masaru Ryotosuma

WuJen attaches a quick map and rough sketch of the area he found.

Sam looks at the map that WuJen sent him. It looks like the spot that WuJen marked is in the storage room.
"Well," he thinks. "We already knew that." He double checks to see if there is any other equipment in that room that he can access, either to get a better look at the spot that WuJen has marked, or else possibly a device to open or reveal a hidden doorway in the floor.
Assuming he finds neither, he forwards the video he had taken earlier of the storage room to WuJen.
>>>>>> This is the room you marked.
>>>>>> I do not see any more relevant equipment in there that I can access

Fuchou logs out of the host

>>There has to be something there, or very nearby. It seems we may have to go in and look in person. I could push through the barrier, but if I do that will alert whoever put it up, and not only is that potentially bad for me, it will give them warning to move the girls again before we get there, assuming the girls are indeed still there.

Sam does his best to read the lips of those on the camera, but he has little idea how to read lips and the people aren't always facing the camera. That ends up being a dead end.

Seeing Fuchou jack out safely, Sam follows suit.
