RP: Heist Stakes
In which Will has a plan
Starring: Lennart, Will, Corus, RedKite
[21:45:03] * Lennart stands behind the bar at the Rust Bucket, looming over the others gathered. He sets down a glass for each present, fills each clear vessel with a dark brandy*
[21:45:34] <Lennart> Hah! Always a good way to begin business, mm? *He smiles wide, lifting his glass from the wooden surface*
[21:46:12] * Will takes a glass, carefully sniffing the liquid inside*
[21:48:07] * RedKite grins as she looks up from a mass of burner parts. She quickly takes a gulp before returning to her work, Sparks chirping anxiously at her shoulder.*
[21:49:11] * Corus looks down at the drink in front of her and lifts it, sniffing it briefly before setting it back down with a grimace.*
[21:51:12] * Lennart looks between them slowly, sipping his drink*
[21:51:36] <Lennart> Well, our... good friend mister Will has a business proposal... Of sorts.
[21:51:52] * Lennart chuckles, showing a few teeth*
[21:52:01] <Lennart> I do love a business proposal, ahah!
[21:53:07] * Will places his glass back down and clears his throat*
[21:53:46] <Will> Right- *he says somewhat squeakily and quickly coughs* Right.
[21:55:07] <Will> In my former life as machinist for the Castle Crew, we made some acquaintances with the State
[21:56:02] <Will> Their tech isn't great but it has potential in terms of components
[21:57:13] <Will> Now... I may know of a State facility that finds itself without need of its tech
[21:58:15] <Will> I say we... liberate it
[21:58:55] * Lennart smiles wide, reaching over to ruffle Will's hair*
[21:59:04] <Lennart> I knew you'd fit in well here m'boy! Ahaah!
[22:00:52] * RedKite looks over to the two gentlemen, an eyebrow raised incredulously before shaking her head and taking a second gulp of brandy*
[22:03:07] * Corus flicks her glass with a loud ping, squinting at the people in front of her* You mean... we're going to break into a place?*
[22:04:06] <Will> Is it breaking in if there's no door?
[22:04:38] * Lennart smiles softly, pouring Corus something a little smoother*
[22:04:58] <Lennart> If they're not using it, I see no reason why they should keep such a stringent hold on such technology, oho..
[22:07:22] * Corus shrugs*
[22:07:23] <Corus> Fair enough, it's just I associate the word 'facility' with 'danger.' Just the way I was brought up, I guess.
[22:09:56] * RedKite gives a side glance over to Will*
[22:10:58] <RedKite> You say there's no door? So... how d'you plan on gettin' in to this facility, then?
[22:11:38] <Will> Well... it was kind of... *coughs* bombed...
[22:11:53] * Lennart frowns slightly* Mm..?
[22:12:01] <Will> There ought to be plenty of entrances
[22:13:17] <Corus> Bombed?! Why the- *She pauses*
[22:13:18] <Corus> Actually, I don't want to know...
[22:14:31] <Will> We had to evacuate in a hurry... however I doubt the bombs damaged the lower levels
[22:15:51] * Lennart strokes his beard softly, looking between them*
[22:16:13] <Lennart> Hrrm... bomb-damaged might be a risk... Your thoughts..?
[22:16:21] * Lennart chuckles*
[22:16:33] <Lennart> I'm always willing to risk for an investment...!
[22:19:47] * RedKite looks back at the pile of burner parts on the table in front of her, taking a third, slightly larger gulp from her brandy glass*
[22:20:22] <RedKite> Well, that's... reassuring.
[22:21:38] <Will> Any other questions?
[22:23:16] * RedKite slams down her brandy glass, spilling a little onto the table. Sparks jumps from Red's shoulder in shock.*
[22:24:31] <RedKite> One. Sut yn Hell are you thinking of getting the stuff out?
[22:25:21] <Will> Huh what?
[22:30:07] * RedKite sighs, while Sparks returns to her shoulder with a series of short whistles.*
[22:30:53] <RedKite> It's a crater, right? And there's lower levels, right? How are you going to get the stuff out of the lower levels?
[22:31:47] <Will> The old fashioned way... with our hands... Getting it back to the Border, though...
[22:34:15] * RedKite shakes her head incredulously and downs her brandy in a single gulp. She gives Sparks a sideways glance, who chirps curiously.*
[22:34:46] * Lennart smiles, raising an eyebrow*
[22:35:07] <Lennart> Will your... modifications be done by then, young lady? *He chuckles*
[22:36:41] * RedKite allows herself to grin at the businessman, Sparks whistling cheerfully*
[22:38:23] <RedKite> Should be. Her hull still needs reinforcin' but if I had a better idea of how much she'll be taking, I can get her fixed in no time.
[22:38:40] * Lennart chuckles, the bar rumbling*
[22:39:01] <Lennart> We have not much idea what this place could hold, I'm afraid...! Ahaha!
[22:41:03] <Will> Hopefully enough, depends on how picky we are
[22:42:57] <Corus> Well what kind of stuff are we looking for? You mentioned this 'State-tech' stuff, right?
[22:43:39] <Will> Machines, computers, lab equipment...
[22:44:10] <Will> Power conduit
[22:44:59] * Lennart pours Red another drink*
[22:45:09] <Lennart> The radio tower needs a booster or two, oho...
[22:45:55] * Corus nods thoughtfully* Could salvage some information from the computers too - blueprints or whatever they had there...
[22:46:23] * RedKite nods graciously at Lennart before taking a hasty sip and leaning back in her chair*
[22:50:03] <Will> So... what are your thoughts?
[22:51:44] * Lennart leans forward, showing a crooked grin*
[22:51:51] <Lennart> Oh, I'm definitely in, ahaha..!
[22:52:46] * RedKite shares a confused glance with Sparks before looking over to Will*
[22:53:34] <RedKite> Get me a map, a third burner and some whisky and the Adenydd is yours.
[22:55:27] * Corus clasps her gloved hands together, grinning slightly* Count me in.
[22:57:05] <Will> Looks like we've got a crew.
