((It doesn't understand what a fire detection system is. There really aren't such things in this world.))

((Seriously?? Mechs they have, but they can't figure out pieces of metal and glass?))

What's this 'metal and glass' you talk of?; ))

((Depends on your era, modern times uses the advanced version, electricity and isotopes, but fire detectors (not smoke detectors) have been around for a really long time.

The simplest variation is made entirely of metal and wax. A spring with a piece of metal on the end is embedded in a wax block, as long as the wax stays solid, the spring can't move. If, however, the wax is heated, then the spring will punch through. This can then trigger a valve to open, an alarm to ring, or variety of other simple mechanical alarm trips. This particular version is older than dirt owing to the simplicity of the mechanism.

Another, much more precise variation (the one I would have expected the facility to be equipped with) involves glass of differing heat sensitivity. (A specialty alloy can also be used.) The mechanism consists of a seal over a pressurized pipe, with the majority of the seal being made by a glass (or alloy) bulb.  When heated to a certain predefined temperature, the bulb will crack and explode, (modern variations use fluid filled glass, faster detonations with less risk of failure) thus opening the seal. A secondary alarm system can be rigged into the pipe using a float, arranged so that if the water level drops rapidly an alarm spring will be tripped.

Of course, this is all real world stuff. If these things do not exist in your world, then I will of course abide.))

((I see. Thanks for teaching me :3 I edited the post. 'At least 0' means they don't know.

Now that I think of it, I think the terminal could be more of a Morse-code transmitting thing, with a human on the other side retrieving information and typing it to you.))

((You learn something new everyday. I also Really like the morse code relay concept.))

   Ruark frowned. He'd hoped to be able to set a diversionary fire in the basement, infiltrate under the guise of emergency personnel, steal the information and anything valuable that wasn't nailed down, load it into the emergency vehicle, declare the fire put out, and leave without firing a shot. The empire's complete lack of disaster preparedness, however, completely foiled that plan.
    New plan...

Query: What are available disguises in Cartel base 56-e&'s armory?   

[Caellath]

((@Draignean: "At least 0" means that they don't know. So the GM may have put some fire alarms there retroactively.))

((@Draignean: "At least 0" means that they don't know. So the GM may have put some fire alarms there retroactively.))

((Yes, but I'm not willing to gamble on a maybe. Ruark trusts the Cartel's sources as well as he trusts anything, if they don't show him an opening, he's not about to take it on faith that one will appear because it would be convenient.

There's always the backup plan: walk in the front door, shoot anyone who gets in our way, and see where it goes from there.))

  The list is too large to send. However, most clothes and disguises that are not too expensive/rare (such as a Underearth noble clothes, or the uniform of the Empress's private guard) are available or improvisable.

[Spaghetti7]

Running his eyes down the list of facilities once more, Carl doesn't see anything vital for this mission.
"I guess I'm ready. Shade?"

[adwarf]

"Sure, get the others, and lets get started with what must be done." Shade said as she turned, and began making her way out of the building.

Wait for the others, and go on the mission!

[Spaghetti7]

Join Shade on the way out.

[cerapa]

Serat goes after Shade, and takes out his compass.

[Powder Miner]

Sevten went to the Cartel building he was in's console and confirmed the roster for him.

[monk12]

Dorian restlessly tapped his foot as he examined the intel for 121. "Really, getting in shouldn't be too bad. It's getting back out that's the kicker..."

"I make it a policy to know how big the boom will be before setting off any kind of explosive. I'd hate to find out about the inflammable industrial chemicals this lab was developing while we were still in the fissure." So saying, Dorian redeems his coupons (and 20 credits) for 6 units of C4.

((speaking of big booms, how much havoc can I wreak with one unit of C4?))

Spoiler: Dorian Chronis (click to show/hide)

Name: Dorian Chronis
Gender: M
Age: 20
Race: Dragonoid

Appearance: Dorian is short for a Dragonoid, not even six feet high, with a wiry frame. His metallic grey scales are traced with fine scars and small burns from his years of mechanic work.
Short bio: Considered a runt by the other Dragonoids, Dorian preferred to spend his time building and racing mecha- he could build those as big and strong as he wanted! Unfortunately, mech racing is an expensive hobby; unable to sustain himself on the circuit without a sponsor, Dorian turned to the Cartel for funding. His quick reactions and elusive nature made him well suited for the life of a smuggler, and Dorian found the thrill and excitement of such missions surpassed that of the racing world. Now, Dorian hopes to test his skills against the greatest challenges the blockade can present him.

Preferred weapon tree: Robotics

Ability focus: Intelligence + Dexterity

Skills

Ace Pilot- Dorian is an expert at handling mechanical vehicles with precision and poise, whether on land, sea or earth!

Expert Mechanic- Dorian has a good understanding of how mechanical things operate from years of building and customizing his own mechas.

The regular C4 is on the weak side: enough to maybe destroy a wall. Blast radius of around five feet. The upgraded C4i has a blast radius of some fifteen feet and probably will be able to collapse a small building if used strategically.
