No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

"I'm going out to hack the ATMs at the bank and purchase some little things. Anything you guys want from shops?"

Going out! Take a laptop, connector cables, pair of gloves and some cash.
Purchase following things from some nearby stores: a backpack, kitchen knife, small minigrip bags and cutters or any tool that can be used to break locks from safety boxes. Two at least. Because there's no way we are going to carry all those boxes out. Then hang out in a cafe or somewhere until it is time for hacking.

(Back from my mom's. I would have posted from there actually, but the only computer I had access to was old enough to be basically steam-powered)

Michael wakes from his daze and sees what he can help with
It's fine, I was gone for like 2 weeks anyways.


We'll put you with Aoshi, he sees to know whats going on. I hope you enjoy your new career as a lackey.

Ick. Shower. Check if car and rifle ever arrived.
"Ulrich, you want me to scout out escape routes? And what's our destination, how are we leaving?"

You go take a hot shower and attempt to forget.

And yes, the rifle arrived.

(( Apologies for the disappearance. I got... distracted, and then I went on a vacation without internet around when I got undistracted. ))


Skylar's gaze flicks between the screens as he works, mumbling about building bridges across empty space and making doors out of solid walls, idly tuning various pieces of equipment and watching the response. Eventually, an egg timer deep in the mass of computers goes off.
Ah! Finally. Alright, let's see what we can do...

Explore the machine I've built. See what it can do. Remain oblivious to the effect it is having on other electronics until someone informs me of it :P


Avoid finding God, but mark his position in the machine clearly. For future reference.


You're not...entirely sure what it can do...in fact you're not even entirely sure how you made it, it's all kind of a blur. It can certainly track the signals you needed it to, but it seems to be able to do much more then that. In fact, you think this thing might have minor reality warping capacities.

You think that because you just attempted to delete a line of code from one of the cameras out on the bank and instead deleted the camera. Uh...

You grab your supplies from a few different places using cash at each place and then settle down in the corner cafe and wait.

Huh... cool. Hey, can someone make sure they don't notice that? Or get us in as the repair team? OH, and get me another datapad? I need to take some more notes and I don't know where mine ran off to. Thanks!

Alright... Now, let's get a bit more focused...


Study the code for the building, especially the vault and safe deposit room. Avoid edits for now, just observe the flow and structure.
Particular interests: Vault doors, SD doors, and the contents of the boxes.

Consider undoing the deletion, but have someone confirm that security hasn't noticed that the camera is completely gone first.

((Jesus,  I leave a bit for family stuff and some one builds a reality altering computer. Nice!))

Upon hearing Skylars voice Thaddeus wakes from his coma to go and see if the camera actually was deleted from the side of the building.

"Who? Wha? Uh, sure. I'll check for you. I might need to ask Steve about the side effects of stasis."

Put out an order for that car. Muted, inconspicuous paintjob. Tinted windows. Bulletproof. Optimal handling. Two doors. Airbags. Cupholders.

Pull up electronic map of the city. Study the streets around the bank for preferred getaway routes.Besides major roads, is there anywhere large enough for the car to drive through? Alleyways, sidewalks, anything like that.

There is no code for the building. The building isn't electronic, ya numpty. The Camera had some sort of wireless signal and internal circuitry.  You were attempting to alter part of the code by which the internal system detects movement and ended up deleting it and the camera. You can't alter the code of a brick.

There certainly appear to be a camera missing. In fact, there's even a guard out on the street looking up at where it should be, scratching his head in evident confusion.

It's around 11pm. You suppose you could go now.

Put out an order for that car. Muted, inconspicuous paintjob. Tinted windows. Bulletproof. Optimal handling. Two doors. Airbags. Cupholders.

I believe Steve put a Kibosh on buying more cars until people could give him a good rational and plan as to why they were needed and how they would be used.

Thaddeus heads back inside after seeing the lack of camera and the confused guard, " Hey Skylar? You uh, actually did delete the camera. And there is now a very confused guard out there looking at where it used to be. Anything else around us, bank or otherwise, you can have a peek at with your god machine there?" Use the cam-eyes to see how everyone in the bank is reacting to the sudden disappearance of the camera. After that, help Skylar with anything if he needs it.

((So, pw also said that you also deleted the internal systen that detects movement. This could be extremely helpful to us, if we act upon it before it's noticed.))

@PW: Would it suffice for Steve that the car D'usse is ordering would be specifically for the escape, compared to the bulkier and less agile car previously given to us?
