Summary

The Mysterious Johnson, puts up a request on shadowhaven in order to locate a gift for its master. Seemingly already having a target in mind " within there purview of interest". They learn the snake wants to steal what he believes is the holy grail. Through good planning, skilled decking, and no small amount of luck, the team managed to complete a smooth heist, and Ares was left scratching there heads for days to come.

Background

Gorgon, an Ally spirit and master of snake-kind, had been with his master for a long time now, and decided to express gratitude to her. Deciding to give her a gift befitting his superior nature, he located what he decided was a gift of suitable stature to his image, the holy grail. He spoke to several spirits in Seattle, learning of individuals that he believed would be ideal for his cause.

The Meet

The team met at a recreation center in a nice part of town. Everyone was reasonably inconspicuous, except for 4NG3L, who showed up in full body armor. They met the Johnson, an over 5 meter long metal plated snake. He was brief and simply wanted them to go do what he asked, however the team negotiated back with him, and he finally conceded to offer a little more money, give some up front, and give them access to a few street doctors in the area, so they could spend it on discount medical gear, but they had to wrap the gift and pick up a birthday card in exchange for the extra services.

The Plan

Legwork, legwork, legwork.

a painstaking amount of planning went into this run. They went to the Daze, ordered food, and started to plan. The Grail was apart of an exhibit of items Ares Corp had collected over the years. It was not the main exhibit in the hall, but it didn't change the fact Ares had agreed to put the items up for display only if the security was beefed up. Laser Tripwires, pressure plates, cameras, and scanners at the entry littered the building. They started some research, hacking the host to copy all kinds of files. They stole information on when items were being shipped and when they were going, worker records, and a particularly spicy file that told them about contract professionals who came in to do maintenance on exhibits. Using that information, they spoofed there names into the workers for one of those companies, abusing the fact it was a small company so they rarely check there own personal files. The team assembled fake IDs, Synthskin masks, Ares Industries uniforms, and made a new friend in one Styyles Flamingo, a Flamboyant Troll and Master counterfeit specialist to create a Fake grail.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

M3chan1c: "That right there was a damn fine job, smooth, well-planned, just like somethin' outta' an old trid show. Felt damn good the whole while, had to chip in some cash along the way, but the rewards after it all? More than worth it, people're gonna be gushin' over it at the Days for a bit, especially when Ares starts throwin' a shit fit about their little art project going missin'. Maybe I'll put that souvenir grail on my mantle for memories."
