  1. [1:10:05 AM] emms: The team is on Kuldin IV, their mission, steal an object known as the GEM OF PROSPERITY! They have made a supposed game plan, they are now moving to scope out the area. How do they begin?
  2. [1:11:12 AM] Sine: I take a look around to see any high places with quick escapes
  3. [1:11:48 AM] emms: there are more than a few buildiungs with high rise balconies.
  4. [1:12:28 AM] Sine: Any with multiple balconies so any security will be searching for the source?
  5. [1:13:12 AM] emms: a few, closes to you is three or so balconiies resting on the 11th floor.
  6. [1:13:20 AM] emms: to the right of you
  7. [1:19:01 AM] Sine: "Looks like I can get something going from up there. I have a pretty good view of the pavilion"
  8. [1:20:45 AM] Synergy: "honestly... the problem with my plan is that the right unicorn could fix up a structural collapse on short notice and we would have to do the swap at the moments after the collapse, which is problematic is the public is viewing the gem."
  9. [1:23:22 AM] Left: "What if the entire fix-ey team took a suprise sick day?"
  10. [1:24:15 AM] Left: "The apprentice would be the only one on the job, and he'd be rather bumbling"
  11. [1:24:23 AM] Sine: "Well that would be mighty convenient. But how do you suppose you would do that?"
  12. [1:24:41 AM] Left: "Then I could sic Raps on him and get him all flustered"
  13. [1:24:59 AM] Synergy: "That's a bit hard to figure out what is on said detail, unless you mean to set off a smaller disruption to fish them out... but that by no means ensures that they are the only ones capable."
  14. [1:25:03 AM] Sine: "Besides, someone from the public could fix it up; notice the density of horns."
  15. [1:25:39 AM] Left: "Yes, but don't you pin heads actually need to learn the spells?"
  16. [1:25:52 AM] Elba: I laugh
  17. [1:26:05 AM] Synergy: "The problem with a staged assassination attempt is that my kind are... some of the best in that profession, especially those working for coin. Magical detection would become most definitely mandatory for all security personnel."
  18. [1:26:06 AM] Sine: "It would be unwise to assume that none of them know the spell."
  19. [1:26:37 AM] Synergy: I sit on my haunches
  20. [1:27:25 AM] Sine: "I would be the one doing the staging, Zel. You would hide nearby the gem and make the switch."
  21. [1:27:50 AM] Left: "isn't there beauracy in the way of anyone who wants to fix it, though? It's all gotta be done by the" I make airquotes with my claws " Authorised ponies?"
  22. [1:28:42 AM] Sine: "But that still leaves the problem of getting that crew incapacitated, Sparrow."
  23. [1:28:48 AM] Synergy: "Perhaps we should handle this silently without a disruption... well, save for one of the guards stationed being replaced... but then once questions were asked and it was figured out somepony was in that room who wasn't really there, the first step of the security detail would be to call in the expert to verify the gem. That would put the ports on lockdown."
  24. [1:29:35 AM] Synergy: "I hate to say it but... if we kidnap somepony who is supposed to be there or waylay them... they can identify whomever is involved."
  25. [1:29:38 AM] Left: "I just had an Idea.."
  26. [1:30:11 AM] Synergy: "Does it involve killing and replacing one of the guards? I am not comfortable with murder for somepony's aims of getting rich."
  27. [1:31:20 AM] Left: "And before you've asked, I've done this before. Lift someone else's shp, ram a hole in the wall, nab the gem, fly out of there on autopilot and leap out at some point when no one's looking"
  28. [1:32:00 AM] Laδy Lorδ Firecrotch: "Leaping from a moving ship doesn't sound the greatest idea."
  29. [1:32:07 AM | Edited 1:32:39 AM] Sine: "Well, that sounds rather exciting."
  30. [1:32:22 AM] Sine: "And by exciting I mean foolhardy"
  31. [1:32:22 AM] Left: "I've got wings."
  32. [1:32:45 AM] Synergy: "I don't think that's the best option as the Zephyr would not be cleared for departure, making our actual departure raise suspicion."
  33. [1:32:59 AM] Synergy: "They can't know the grab happened"
  34. [1:33:26 AM] Laδy Lorδ Firecrotch: "How much do taxis go for?"
  35. [1:34:20 AM | Edited 1:34:22 AM] Left: "what happens if our tub was getting ready to leave before the grab?"
  36. [1:35:03 AM] Synergy: "We wouldn't be able to get TO it without being followed. This would incriminate the crew and the ship. That paint job is custom."
  37. [1:35:38 AM] Sine: "Getting on after being cleared would also be prohibited"
  38. [1:36:17 AM | Edited 1:36:19 AM] Left: "No, I was saying we leave them on a goose chase. The ship we do the smash and grab in will be on autopilot.. they'll be too intrested in an abandoned ship"
  39. [1:36:50 AM] Laδy Lorδ Firecrotch: "I'd rather not break my legs."
  40. [1:37:09 AM] Synergy: "And how do we get to our ship if it's not in atmo? We'd have to break atmo to get a fair distance."
  41. [1:37:44 AM] Synergy: "Even IF the other ship is running off... what if they lock down travel outwards?"
  42. [1:37:48 AM] Left: I faceclaw, groaning
  43. [1:37:59 AM] Left: "Want me to say it again?"
  44. [1:38:19 AM] Synergy: "I get what you're saying. Fly the ship in atmo, bail, let it go on autopilot out of atmo or someplace silly. Go on hoof to the ship"
  45. [1:38:49 AM] Synergy: "Slip out in our ship already with clearance. We'd have to be COMPLETELY unseen when we bailed."
  46. [1:39:17 AM] Synergy: "We would need to leave before they caught the other ship, too... it's a bit too risky."
  47. [1:39:52 AM] Elba: "So's every other plan!"
  48. [1:40:21 AM] Synergy: "I say we don't let them even suspect it's been swapped. Maybe even slip in with security during the night after the exhibit, when it's being transferred. A small disturbance to grab Security's attention."
  49. [1:41:31 AM] Laδy Lorδ Firecrotch: "'Excuse me, sir? It's dark outside, could you escort a poor defenseless mare?' Flutter eyelashes, giggle softly?"
  50. [1:42:09 AM] Synergy: I roll my eyes, "Yes, something like that could even possibly work."
  51. [1:43:21 AM | Edited 1:43:23 AM] Elba: "Oh!"
  52. [1:43:39 AM] Synergy: "Or get you picked up for attempted unliscensed companion work, if these guards are particularly ornery."
  53. [1:43:51 AM] Elba: "Why don't we replace the apprasier with Zel!"
  54. [1:44:32 AM] Synergy: "We'd have to knock out the appraiser and not let them remember a thing... anyone here capable of removing memories?"
  55. [1:44:48 AM] Laδy Lorδ Firecrotch: "I could give them a concussion."
  56. [1:44:56 AM] Left: "Me too"
  57. [1:44:56 AM] Sine: "Mmmnope"
  58. [1:45:18 AM] Left: "Lack of oxygen could do that too"
  59. [1:45:42 AM | Edited 1:45:43 AM] Left: "or sedate them in their sleep"
  60. [1:45:43 AM] emms: MEanwhile as you are all talking, few ponies in armour and sashes approach, a large box floating along ith them as they move along to a rather large display area, just underneath a canopy.
  61.  
  62. one of the knight-ish looking guards opens the box slowly a large purple orbs floating ouy as it's then soon balanced along pony heighth pillar. Three of the guard then take positions in a traingle still under the canopy. people watch them all looking at the gem.
