[Day 9 EA] Climbing the Spider's Web (HEIST, CLOSED)

Post by Yūrei »

The drizzle offers excellent cover as a small figure casually enters into the Spider Embassy's underground parking. Sure it wasn't as glamorous as infiltrating from the beach, or even the backdoor of a temple. But sometimes doing what you love means making sacrifices.

She did have to admit, it was a little disappointing not to be dodging flaming skulls or horrific man/attendant hybrids down here. But if she got in then it was a straight shot via the internal fire escape all the way up.

With Spider embassy having been infiltrated before, the security is tight. Yet, Yurei manages to slip in unseen.

Yūrei sneaks into the fire escape no problem, despite the small platoon of Spider samurai standing in a ring around it. They hadn't thought to check the water pipes. Big mistake. Also, a big sacrifice for Yūrei's, but she'll get over it.

The building feels oddly quiet as she ascends and the ronin can't help but stick her head in at one of the lower levels. The forbidding darkness of the embassy was marred by small dusty spots where paintings, terminals and even furniture appeared to have stood. Just how many times had this place already been looted this season?

With a sigh 'where there even any good pickings left?' she continues up, coming out exactly where she'd planned, close to a utility room with a direct line to the central computer.

Day 9 EA. Heist. Hacking roll. Computers/Intelligence, TN 25, spending a void point. | 7k4 ⇒ 38 (TN: 25)

Let's see, wow, most of the good stuff was already accessed. Although some of the increasingly angry messages from the head of security threatening to feed their people to an oni were juicy. Still...

A few more keystrokes and she decides to focus on the HR department, reasoning it would be most likely to be overlooked by any would be infiltrators. Bingo! Looks like the Spider took human resources a bit more literally than some others.


Now it was just a matter of sneaking out. Odds are someone might have discovered her little foray into the fire escape. So she continues on to the roof, clipping a small magnetic clamp to an exhaust stack. A little spidersilk rope and the ronin practically runs down the side of the building, her dark clothes blending in with the dark exterior.

Guards were alert, but not alert enough!
