Mission 2: Slaughterhouse

Spoiler: Outer Map (click to show/hide)

The team is sent to investigate a meat packing plant in the middle of Chicago. Sources indicate that the facility is linked to vampire blood supply. A cell of local hunters from the Union compact - a bunch of self-styled working class heroes fighting monsters and corporate fatcats to "protect the little man" will assist the team and provide backup.

Your primary mission is to infiltrate the facility and find any information linking the factory to vampire clients. Security around the facility is basic: some cameras, and rent-a-cop patrols. However, we expect private security to show up in force if the team is detected.

The Cheiron Group also has sealed orders for the team leaders:

The team from the Union is expendable. There is a reward of $30,000 if they do not survive.

It is 7PM in the evening. You drive up to the neighbourhood where the target facility is to meet with your backup.

It is a 6 man crew, who introduce themselves as Mr Anderson, Mr Mason, Mr Barton, Mr Simpson, Mr Leo and Mr Neman. Between them you see a couple of submachine guns, an assault rifle, a shotgun several machettes, a sledgehammer and a fire axe. They are dressed in rough work clothes and thick jackets.

You are about 1 block from the factory. You see a barbed wire fence around the perimeter, a main gate with a guard post and gantries, as well as multiple cameras around the building and fences.

How do you approach?

"If security's supposed to be minimal, why don't one of us just walk up to the thing and knock?  Everyone else can cover him from behind the nearby buildings, and when one guy comes out, hold him up."

Mirella raises her hand, smiling like a schoolgirl. 'If we're going to brute force it, we should take out the two cameras in the northeast. That will leave the largest gap. Otherwise if you're going to walk up to the front door, I do an amazing lost puppy impression. I can do that if you guys cover me.' Mirella is extatic about being on her first mission. She wants to hear what everyone has to suggest before choosing an approach. Mirella clearly believes she can walk up to the front door and have a good chance of convincing them not to kill her, at least immediately.

Sally stands with the main group, obsessively checking her Kevlar vest to make sure it's on proberly.


"I believe that silent infiltration is our best bet."

[MidnightJaguar]

How about a combined attack? I get the sense that union would like a direct attack, so part of the team goes to the main gate and raise cain. That provides a distraction for the other group to sneak around the back.

[Sialia]

Mirella thinks for a moment. 'If they see security cameras go out they will know something is coming. We need them distracted.' She thought who might be able to live through it. 'It'll have to be one of us and one of you... Misters from the union. Whoever it is better be good at talking. And they will search us. We couldn't take weapons.' She continues thinking.

'We need a distraction without a doubt but walking up to that door, if there really are vampires you must have a death wish.' Mirella shrugged. They needed to think of alternatives if they possibly could. They needed to settle on a plan before moving.

"If we're planning on going in loud, this'd be our best bet.  Everyone would be watching the cameras to the front if the forward team makes enough of a racket, rear team could take the stairs, provided the rear team has a way of quietly breaking through the fence."

[MidnightJaguar]

Sean turns to union and asks

Anyone got some wire cutters?

[Sialia]

Mirella takes out her infiltration kit, removes the wire cutters, waving them in the air.
'We don't want to go in loud, we need to do it quietly. Otherwise those playing bait at the front will be taken hostage or killed immediately.'
Mirella thought over it a little.
'If we can steal a car, we can crash into a tree out front, then approach the front asking for help. If you guys are around the back, it should be no problems.'
She smiles widely, mischief in her eyes.
'I can steal a car.'

[S34N1C]

"I am unsure of how I can be of use at the moment. I will accompany whichever group needs another body."

[NRDL]

"I'll head up the rear attack group, Mirella, it's Mirella right?, see if you can get a car ready.  Anyone with bolt cutters, follow me."

Put on balaclava and head a long way around to the east of the facility.

[Sialia]

Mirella stashed her wire cutters. She will need them to hotwire a car. She turns to the union hunters. 'Fair is fair. One of us is risking our neck walking up to the front door. One of you should come with me.' Mirella can be intimidating when she puts her foot down about what she wants done. She heads off to steal a car a couple blocks over. She'll choose one with no alarm, and which would be easy to get into and steal. She will smash the passenger window to gain entrance.

(( This discussion is a lovely change from YOLOing right in... Should make this a habit. ))

[NRDL]

((We were all just far too keen to get some Cullen killing done  ))

You drag one of the union boys with you. You find an old looking car that looks like it shouldn't have high tech security and attempt to jack it. You roll to pick the lock. Security + Intelligence for 5 dice. Difficulty 7. 2 Successes.

Then you need to hotwire the car to start it. Technology + Intelligence, Difficulty 7, 5 dice. 1 success, you just make it. You manage to start the car.

The rest of the team follows Joe round to the east side of the fence.
