((At least ask Sky to give a try at getting the shoggoth away from the vault door. We really don't want to mess with it just now. And we should probably wait a bit to cut into the vault - at least get some of the safe deposit boxes looted since we still didn't manage it.))

[renegadelobster]

((Changed action

@Kriellya  Go ahead on trying to move the shoggoth.))

[Caellath]

((Kri may also want to spend a turn preparing for that. In the meantime, everyone else should try to a) prepare in case shit goes down or b) help with the safe deposit boxes.))

[Kriellya]

Alright, I'll move it shortly. Give me a second to prepare for the interference...

Spend some time studying the interference patterns to try and use the shoggoth through them

Charging bonus eh?

What door? Is there something you forgot to mention when we visited here last time? Besides I got those cutters for breaking these things. Surely I bought proper tools after seeing what we have to deal with?

The doors on the boxes

http://www.safedepositboxes.com/mm5/images/sdx_series/sdx_series-1.jpg

Each box has a locked metal door in front of it.

What are the cutters exactly? Because I was just using your crowbar.

All else fails, just bring the rig in and use it to slice the exposed hinges off the doors and remove them like that.

((@Aoshima Mechanist glove might help with the safety deposit box))

"I...hmm. Fuck it. Hey Skylar? We're going to get the hell away from your squishy friend. Go ahead and try moving it."

Edit: Get away from the techno-shoggoth and drag Michael with me. Get into the safety deposit box room and help Ulrich with getting our target.

IF the shoggoth freaks out, disable it, as best as possible,  with the microwave amp. Or run away. Which ever seems safer.

You pull back.

Michael brings the rig back around and into the safety deposit box room, and prepares to slice the hinges off of the boxes if Ulrich can't get into them(NOT charging Con bonus)

[renegadelobster]

Help Michael, use the cam-eyes to make sure we don't damage the box, and that we get the right one

IF the shoggoth freaks out, burn it with the amp or run away, which ever one seems like it has a higher chance of success, if it looks like it's coming towards us

Okay, looks like we have minor hicup in flow of information here.

The walls are either made of marble or coated in it, and the boxes themselves are highly polished brass, or at least appear to be. There's a large table in the middle, dark lacquered wood and quite old looking, with a padded, velvet covering laid across the top. The Guard steps over to the left wall, examines it for a moment and then finds the box he's looking for. He removes it from the wall, carries it over to the table and sets it carefully down. The box has two locks on it, he unlocks one and then hands you a key to unlock the second, mentioning that this key is now yours. You unlock the box and the man politely turns his back and waits as you deposit your goods.

1. This mentions the quard simply pulls boxes out of slots in the wall. No refenrences to any additional doors here. And quite different from that image you now posted. So I have been operating with understanding that we can simply pull boxes out and carry them into our escape car and break locks later if needed. Therefore my cutting tools would be meant to cut locks or hinges out of the boxes.

2. However in hindsight that image makes much more sense, even if you never mentioned about such extra security. So if locks are actually part of the doors separating us from boxes, then my cutters are tools meant to cut off hinges from those doors. Like this, but hydraulic.

If you decide to go with original desrciption, then I pull boxes from wall, carry them to the table and break hinges.
If you rather go with set up of this image, then I just use my tools to cut of hinges from doors.

So I'll go after hinges anyway. My cutters will just be slightly different depending on which interpretation you use.

(It's actually a combination. There are locks on the box but there's also that door. And yeah, I guess I completely forgot to describe the little doors. Oh well, the cutters will work.)
You use the cutters to start slicing off the hinges on each of the doors. It's effective but rather slow. You throw the unopened boxes onto the table each time you cut one free.

"Someone else wanna look in those things while I do this?"

Help Michael, use the cam-eyes to make sure we don't damage the box, and that we get the right one

Your task is now meaningless. Go help him steal.

"And stuff target into my backpack once it is found. I got extra cutter as well so if one of you joins me breaking these we can speed up.
Man-who-speaks-with-gods, two priority tasks; open the last door. Find where recordings are kept and erase last two months worth of them, and again once we leave."

Give my second cutter to anyone who's willing to use it.
Keep breaking doors containing approximantely correctly sized boxes. Move to bigger ones once target is found or all smaller ones are opened.

Is this task tiring me out faster than it should?

(( Ugh. Apparently I can't remember to do things at 4 in the morning. I should stop doing things then! ))

Use shogotth-interference bonus, attempt to get the shoggoth to open the vault, unless someone posts not to bother.

[renegadelobster]

Take the second cutter and use the cam-eyes to make sure that I break into the target box first and then stuff it into Ulrich's backpack. After that, keep breaking open the boxes that he hands me. Be sure to scan them with the cam-eyes to make sure there isn't anything dangerous in them before I open them.

Do this if need be:

IF the shoggoth freaks out, burn it with the amp or run away, which ever one seems like it has a higher chance of success, if it looks like it's coming towards us

EDIT: Help Michael if he needs it.

[tryrar]

Well, grab a crobar/appropriate piece of equipment and help break into lockboxes and/or use laser rig to assist removing door hinges. If vault is failed to be opened by shoggoth instead wheel rig to vault and open it that way.

Tiring you? No. Your hands are sore but you're not tired.

(( Ugh. Apparently I can't remember to do things at 4 in the morning. I should stop doing things then! ))

Use shogotth-interference bonus, attempt to get the shoggoth to open the vault, unless someone posts not to bother.

You manage to get the shoggoth to start attacking the vault. It's hard for you to tell, from your comfortable position far from danger, if it's doing a good job.

Take the second cutter and use the cam-eyes to make sure that I break into the target box first and then stuff it into Ulrich's backpack. After that, keep breaking open the boxes that he hands me.

EDIT: Help Michael if he needs it.

The boxes on the table all might contain the target, their contents are such that it could be it. So you start cutting them open and dragging the stuff out. You toss things like paper work and passports over your shoulder while throwing jewelery, electronics and weapons (there are a few handguns) into the bags. No sign of the target yet.

Well, grab a crobar/appropriate piece of equipment and help break into lockboxes and/or use laser rig to assist removing door hinges. If vault is failed to be opened by shoggoth instead wheel rig to vault and open it that way.

You roll the rig back out to the hallway and find the shoggoth noisily banging away on the vault door and trying to tear it free. It's not doing a terrible job, but it is a rather slow process.
