FullAuto Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Cajun? Damn. Ok, I'll keep that in mind.Going off your base schematic, JFG, how's this for an infil/exfil : Terrick goes down to level 4, gains entry to the lab stores, uses the lift next to the bog to go up to level 3 and exits the lift directly into the physics lab, copies down the details for the motion sensor, then takes the lift back down to level 4, goes out through the lab stores door and moves back up to his quarters.

Alitorious Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 That looks like it would work. I was thinking that there would be motion sensors (the optical kind) inside the labs and stores, but the bleary-eyed scientists forgot to turn it on. Maybe since the labs and stores are connected like they are, the motion sensor systems would be linked - for (again bleary eyed) scientists might use the internal lift to go down to the stores and accidentally set off the alarm. But whatever you think of is good. I was extremely vague in describing what kind of security system they didn't enable. And I'm sure a more professional hacker than Ki-Tat can make an untraceable keycard hack, somehow. You'll do fine, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah, what Ali said.Maybe get to know the habits of a few scientists who work alone and notice they've left the lights on again. "Bump" into them in the loo and copy the details of their card onto your own card reader (range about 1 inch) then slip the card back into their pocket. Then convince them to go to bed, they're soooo tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hmm. How about a unique number on each card that only shows up under the UV/IR sensor?Is that a bad idea? I can't tell. I'm tired. I'm finishing off a bit of my Agents fic at the moment, so if anyone wants to write Terrick's sneaking in the next day or two, feel free. Otherwise I'll do it.

Bomb Bloke Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm guessing Vets gone AWOL again. I wonder what his plans for Genega were. Was he shot? Kidnapped? By who? An X-Com agent? Some other agent? An alien? If it was a base assualt, then we kinda sorta passed it by... Should we make something up, wait for Vet, or should I just mod it out...?

FullAuto Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I've read that bit BB, over and over, and I'm still not sure what Vet intended. I reckon we leave it in for now, and wait til Vet comes back, and he can tell us what he meant by it. You can always use your Mod Powers later. There's a post, too. Hope it's ok. If you don't like it, then you should have wrote it yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hey! I'm only the third most recent poster atm! I'dve felt like I was spamming if I'd added any more without furthar follow up posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Easy, BB! I wasn't addressing you personally, mate, I was just giving everyone a sly nudge. I'm sorry if the remark gave you the wrong impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I was going to add a in there but I was too late to go back and edit the post... I need a thumbs-up smily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 No problem, BB. For following posts, we've got plenty to deal with. Pickering handing out a hefty bollocking to everyone, an enlarged guard presence perhaps, Howitz's integration into Squad 1, Ghost's integration into whichever squad Snikers wants (he seems to be the de facto controller for Ghost, having written his intro), Johann joining a squad if anyone wants to write it (Spaceman42 is on holiday, I think) and anything else we can think of.

Alitorious Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Nice, Fullauto. Very nice. Still... why did it have to be Daniel you stole the card from? What would procedure be after this? I'm guessing they'd lay low with the knowledge so as not to blow it? Even a surprise inspection (for said ski mask) would be too much, right? But that's a really really good post. Oh! And Warlord's back, too! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Well, with him being head scientist I thought his keycard would get Terrick wherever he needed to go, although I suppose any scientist's card would have done, in retrospect. A general alarm wouldn't achieve much, as they lost Terrick on level 2, which is where everyone sleeps, so the entire X-Com staff is now suspect. They probably would keep it quiet, go over the lab with a fine toothcomb for fingerprints etc but there are limits to how far they could take any avenue of investigation without making the intrusion general knowledge. Pickering would probably come down like a ton of bricks on Daniel & Dana at first, but he'd find out in short order what they were actually up to. Don't forget about the guard tied up in the lab stores, either. After he's found, he'll cop a right earful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alitorious Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Photon (Daniel Gomez) is head scientist. Daniel is just temporary lead of the motion scanner team, since that particular thing was his idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alitorious Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Don't worry about it. The only paragraph that's a real trouble is:“Genega is going to fire me if he finds out about this.” Daniel gnawed his lip. “He’s a military commander. He doesn’t have much patience for eggheads. We’re not getting results quickly enough to suit him. He’s going to find out about this and he’s going to fire me. I am so fired.”Just change that to "Photon is going to fire me", get rid of the "no patience eggheads, results too slow" line, (and the military commander line) and it's fixed. Also:“Yes, General, I am totally incompetent. Fit to run a science division? Yes, sir, why not...”Can be changed to "Yes, Photon" (Or Doctor or something, probably). And "division" to "team." and you're fixed. Of course, I could be too late, or you could have your own ideas. If that's the case, then please do take your idea over mine.

FullAuto Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Alitorious, I've been hitting myself with a hammer since you pointed out my little mistake. I'll make the edits you've suggested, to stop myself looking like a total arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
