Ship's Log, Stardate 11903.10, Captain Ayidee reporting from training assignment.  The crew continues to reconnoiter the bank we are supposed to infiltrate from the outside point of view.  Meanwhile, I am attempting to gain employment with the bank to gain access to where the records we need may be stored.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Working to ensure the background in the fake ID is ready to pass the scrutiny.  Wishing for an electronic means of checking this out to save steps.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::with the group taking the tour, trying to look interested but not suspiciously interested::

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: Any questions about the housing?  I know, I know, no one really wants to see this.  I just think it gives you a good look at how secure we are.  Just a little back ground so to speak.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::On the top floor of the Glemon City Safe Storage Facility Number 7.  He is looking at the doors in the hall of the residential section of the bank::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: How many employees live here?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the CNS and the illustrious Tour Guide::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hands behind his back, poker face trying to identify anything that could give the group some lead or hint::

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Twenty three employees, plus dependents and family.  It can hold up to thirty five families at max capacity.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: This is the Seventh floor, are all 35 apartments on this floor?

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Half of them, but yes, although to be honest once the families get established, and especially when the families grow, they tend to find larger accommodations.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:thinks:: And if the documents are not in the vault... but hidden in this apartments... they could be hidden at plain sight amongst all the equipment and furniture..

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: Should we move on?  I'm afraid the housing isn't part of the normal tour.  If you really needed to see one of the rooms I'd need to get the keys. But they are typical housing.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: Would you like to move on, Ma'am?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Tour Guide: Logical deduction...

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
::If no one has anything else, reaches for the elevator buttons and hits 5.::  All: Next stop are the operations of the facility, where things are run.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: ::whispers:: Sorry, old habits die hard.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL: Moving on would be a course of action.  Proceed.

INFO: As the elevator doors open, ahead of them is a large window separating the elevator from a large office area filled with desks and people working.:

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: You mean the fifth floor is administration, offices workers and managers and such?

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: This is where the bank runs.  Without them no one would be able to keep track of what belongs where and...::Pauses and grins.:: who is paid up.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Yes, exactly.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Administration covers 3 floors in total, floors 3 thru 5.  They all are pretty similar in operation so we don't bother stopping at each floor.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: Any questions about the Administration?  They are the heart of the operation but honestly, pencil pushing isn't what most folks want to see.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Hoping CO can get a job here::

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: If no questions we can move to where it starts to get interesting.  Security offices, the guys who make our product sellable.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Tour Guide: Maybe we should be briefed on the real offerings of your bank rather than internal administrative procedures...

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: Yes, I'd like to see security.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CIV: Yes, yes.  Of course.  We are getting to that, let's go see the guys who make it run.  ::Steps back into elevator and hits 2.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::In the elevator:: Toby: How many security people do you have working here?

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Now now, telling those kind of things would increase the risk of loss.  Protecting that is part of protecting the facility.  But let me say, they've got enough folks to field a full blarkeyball team.  And a cheerleader squad.

ACTION: When the elevator opens next the crew sees a large, open training area with dozens of security people training.  Off to the side is a firing range.  Standing in front of the elevator is a large man.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: a very tight handed operation... all resources in one facility.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: Okay.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
All: Now standing in front of you is our shift leader, his name is Scott and he can tell you a bit more.

Host Scott says:
All: Welcome to our training center, where we ensure that your goods stay in your possession.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: How?

Host Scott says:
All: Ahead of you is where the staff trains.  When they are not needed for emergencies they train here or are on patrol.

Host Scott says:
All: They run varied means and patrol routes to keep intruders at unaware.  The plan for their route isn't decided until it starts so not even they could get word out.

Host Scott says:
All: We have a smaller, but more specialized, staff working at the space port, using all available resources they can to find word of any plans to break in or perform thefts.  We do not have access to the resources they need here on surface, of course.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: That's very clever.  No one can figure out their routine.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: So that means you get the leader... you get all the information you want and the rest are clueless.

Host Scott says:
CNS: Exactly, all part of the process to keep things safe.  Have to keep on top of things or your position will collapse on itself.
All: Anything else you need to know?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: What does your security people use for weapons?

Host Scott says:
CNS: Depends on the threat level, but for normal patrols they use Mark 7 Duranka pistols with the extended clips and have batons if needed for hand to hand.  But if the threat is significant we have access to just about any level of personal weapon needs.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: Very good.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::makes a mental note:: Highly trained security personnel... military type organization... and well equipped.

Host Scott says:
All: Of course we are just the top of the show for security.  The vaults and isolation of the facilities storage makes our job easier.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: Isolation?

Host Scott says:
CNS: Underground vaults surrounded by a 4 meter thick steel reinforced concrete shell makes the vaults about as isolated as you can get on world.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Scott: Agreed.  Are we going to see the vaults?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Scott: Almost like a military bunker...

Host Scott says:
CNS: That's not my department, but I'm sure Toby will show you them.  It's what most people want to see on the tour after all.
CIV: That is the goal, thank you for saying.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: The old earth dynamite trick is out of the question then...

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
CNS: Yes, we will be seeing the vaults.  No sense putting the centerpiece at the start of the tour, is there?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: I understand.  You want to build to a climax.

Host Tour_Guide_Toby says:
::Smiles and nods.:: CNS: You have the makings of a tour guide in you.
All: Anything else here before we get on to... ::Nods to the CNS.:: the climax, the vaults themselves?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Toby: Sounds good.  Scott: Thank you, Scott.

Host Scott says:
All: Thank you all and I hope you make the right decision and choose us for your security needs.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Well, you have certainly created an intriguing climax, Toby. You have us wondering on how those vaults look like
