From the "facilities:"

We could probably stake out the area and follow one of their random drop guys back to their printer. Or ask around about ink and shit. Hey, Boss, can we get a list pf places that sell that kind of thing? Is the paper locally made? or like, imported?"

[Doomblade187]

"Hey buddy! Good questions, but can you get out of there?

That said, I can scout the area. I have binoculars and a radio."

[Tiruin]

You'll be given police uniforms for this operation, and during it you are to make no mention of the paper. Instead, say you are hunting for counterfeiters. The needs of a counterfeiter and a printer are similar, large amounts of ink and paper, a printing press, custom etched plates, an so forth, so you should be able to investigate without drawing too much attention. And when you find the printers, try to take them with a limited amount of force. Cover story or not, a firefight in an apartment building is something we wish to avoid.

Any questions?"

"Perfect, a place for police snipers. Hey Simon (she said to syvarris), you think we have a spot on this mission? Admiral, may I ask if there are any vantage points overlooking the area? Not necessarily the area of the building, but exitways outside of the area? Me and Simon are both skilled sharpshooters, and we can be on the watch for incoming or outgoing traffic, especially escape vehicles and otherwise. We may also act as reconnaissance elements, if there was anything intelligence may have missed. I could also take the time to call up a contact I have who may help the 888th in the future, but that's a total aside.

"Also, is there any way we may communicate with each other outside of burdenous backpack radios? I believe the sort are not 'official police equipment', and we are a dynamic team with different skills each, especially in languages and methods of communication."

"Well, I'm not a detective, I'm not trained in police work, I'm not very sneaky, and I didn't bring any heavy firepower, so, uh, have fun without me guys. Do you have any, like, getaway planes in case this ends up exploding the city or something?"

"You need a self esteem boost, Alice. You also sound like one of my friends at times; every person here is a person we need. I noticed you have a hand with technical equipment and other devices, and you know how to handle a handgun better than most people present. While you are not the best cop, or an 'appropriate' one in your mind, I believe you will be of vital importance with the people who are going into the perimeter of operations. That, and I doubt that your knowledge in planes only apply to planes. Think of it like driving a plane, but on the ground--you still have skills for that, albeit diminished in a way."

((Piece! Are there any cross-over skills that apply to others in the same category at reduced amounts? That would help many players who have picked certain skills at +2 at least, due to their application in either reality or practicality in a sense. I'm saying +2 because that must at least mean some sort of expertise in it.))

"Hey, Admiral, do the other boys in blue know about us? Don't wanna get called out for impersonating an officer or something by one of them." Bob shrugged. It seemed like an unusual mission, but interesting. He'd always imagined joining the FBI back in the states when he was a kid, and this seemed like a chance to do something rather like that. Pretty fun.

Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

"Hey Simon, you think we have a spot on this mission?"

"Yeah, yeah.  I just got a nice silenced sniper rifle, should be appropriate.  Not much one to just sit around though, I like to get in the thick of things.  I'm good with a knife, if  we want to stay real quiet I can go in and shank some Naughties!"  Simon smiles, and mimes slitting someone's throat with his knife.

[Ozarck]

"I might be able to rig up some really quiet Heavy Explosives! I'll need six tons of charcoal, four dozen chickens, and eighty five pounds of coconuts. Better make it five dozen chickens."

"That's the most elaborate euphemism for breaking wind I've ever heard, sir."

[The Lupanian]

Am I assumed to be here, or did I miss a sing up or something?

Yeah, I have a question. What is the area we're going to like? How dense is it? Is it residential, commercial, or industrial? Is it a rich or poor area? Any other distiguishing characteristics?

[piecewise]

Denver raises his trench knife. "So we can stab them even if they don't fight back? Knives are quieter.
Asking for a friend."

"Again, taking them alive is our preference. Better to have someone to interrogate."

Ed heads right past hte desk and into the toilet (or is it an actual bathroom, England style?). He makes full use of the facilities inside, while attempting to listen to the briefing and shouting his responses from inside.

"No?"

We could probably stake out the area and follow one of their random drop guys back to their printer. Or ask around about ink and shit. Hey, Boss, can we get a list pf places that sell that kind of thing? Is the paper locally made? or like, imported?"

"We cannot determine the origin of the paper; it has no defining characteristics but we assume it is locally made because importing it would be needlessly complex and difficult. There are no shops which sell the kind of paper rolls which they would use to print on in that area though, so it could be coming from dozens of shops in the city."

Spoiler: All of them utilitarian (click to show/hide)

Explosive: Used for rocket launchers, grenades, and other fired or thrown explosives.
Demolitions: Used for planted explosives or landmines.

First Aid: Basic medical skills. Usually requires minimal supplies, but also has limited effect.
Medical Training: Like first aid but needs special gear and has a greater effect.

Car: Used to drive cars, trucks and civilian vehicles
Tank: Used to drive tanks and armored ground vehicles
Plane: Used to fly planes, gliders, autogyros, etc.
Boat: Used for controlling ships, boats and submarines.

Operator: Used to operate machinery, such as Radios, Trains, tractors, and cranes.
Mechanic: Used to repair machinery and vehicles. Usually requires  parts.
Traps: Used for making, and avoiding, traps.

Camouflage: Use of various items and techniques to hide yourself or someone/something else. {Probably crosses with a statistic, like Senses. I'm unsure where Senses was even used at all, unless it's for hidden rolls}

Interrogation: Used to get info out of an enemy
Language: Used to speak to others in other languages.
