Ship's Log, Stardate 11905.05, Captain Ayidee recording.  The crew is working on the plan moving forward to make the heist work.  So far there are a few ideas but need some filling out.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In room with the staff, reviewing what we need to figure out before we move ahead.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the others::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::working some details in his mind::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Assuming I can gain access to the records and alter them to make one of you the "owner", we gotta know they have a backup on the satellite.  How do we gain access to that system?  Guessing they don't hire off the streets for those jobs.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: That would need making someone to tap with their system... it would be an inside job...

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Sitting on a sofa at the hotel suite::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Maybe inserting one of us inside the building ...during a maintenance cycle ... or some other situation that could mask his or her presence int the building.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: I mean gain access to the satellite, we need a means of ensuring the information on the satellite matches the information on the surface.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: My apologies on the distraction... guess I was absorbed in my thoughts...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Insertion into the bank itself is another issue we need to figure out, so no apologies necessary.
CNS: Do you think we can find a likely candidate to "recruit" to our cause?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: My tactical training tends to have much influence on my discerning. Regarding that issue you mentioned, we might improvise a scanning device or see if there is a black market for that in the city.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: So, changing it on the surface wouldn't change the satellite records.  You'd have to change them separately in both places?  Is it a manned satellite?  How do they change it on the satellite?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  Just don’t look at me, I have no intentions of being painted green and be mistaken for an Orion slave girl.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: If we can find the right...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I believe it is manned.  Each bank is part of a "coalition" of sorts with a representative to look after their work.  Always a representative on duty, but we'd have to find out how they come and go.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: Hey, how did you...?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: ::smirks:: I think some here would say you would look great in green, Commander.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::looks at CNS with a perplexed look::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: We could abduct someone as they are heading for their shift on the satellite and take their place.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That is bold thinking.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: At least I'm thinking.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Abducting someone could bring too much attention from the authorities.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  CNS: It is intriguing as an option, but yes, there is a risk.
CIV: Can we come up with ways to minimize the risk?  Or is there another option?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Unless the abduction is only a matter of minutes, that raises zero attention, at least until we finished retrieving the information.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: Hopefully, by the time they realize someone was replaced, we'd be long gone.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: It could work, if we did things quick and hard and ran it perfect.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: It would be possible. Obviously we shouldn't make it in a violent way, it would be a direct violation of Starfleet regulations and moral principles... but yes.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: We should devote some time to study the time schedule and routines of one of their employees from that section in the bank , and then use it to .. ::thinks of a word:: collaborate with us.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: Yes, that's a good idea.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: What if we didn't abduct them.  What if we watched them leave station and then went back in their place.  Stolen ID maybe, but could that work?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: It depends on how well the employees here know each other.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Good point.  But that also goes to Captain Marek's surveillance idea.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  We could find an employee who is not happy, and wants to help before they leave their job.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: It could work. But if the bank is really that devoted to security, I assume that there are certain security measures that will be impossible to avoid with only and ID and a basic knowledge of the system.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CIV:  There is always someone at every job level who is not that thrilled about their job.  Some are able to hide their true feelings quite well.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: That's a good point . Underpaid or ignored employees are a potential security risk in every corner of the galaxy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Do you think you could identify one by observation of those leaving the station?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Not immediately but with a bit of concentration and a keen eye, it is doable, yes

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  They have bars here, don't they?  We could follow whomever goes there after work.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: A bar is a good idea.  Unhappy people hang out in bars.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: I see your point. A few pints of beer and every tongue gets loose... ::raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS/CIV:  Exactly, my thoughts precisely.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I suppose there are.  From what we've seen this world is only missing electronic media transfer.  The rest of life would be "normal" to other societies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: OK, so that gives us a plan on how to make sure the satellite doesn't stop our plan.  But do we still want to make an insertion plan to hit the bank?  Even as back-up?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I would advise just that, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then how would we go about that?  How do we get passed that security?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Very quietly.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Don't we need to know where our target is before making a plan like that?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Again, we should watch for a maintenance period or a guard change. perfects moments for an intrusion.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, I should be able to get that in the next few days.  If I can't access that information we will have to alter the plan, obviously.  But the good part of no information technology is the information is easier to access. Depending on what access they give me but the job description implies I should have access.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: And also figuring out how to gain access if your current clearance level won't do it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: If we could, but there are multiple levels of vaults.  The shift changes would have hard cover, wouldn't they?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: That could be very time consuming.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: I'm open to ideas on that if anyone has one.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: There is always a margin for errors. Or for being too confident, especially amongst the type of security members they have in the bank.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: An input on insertion, if it comes to that?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: And regarding on gathering information or who could provide it, sir, it is only a matter of observation for a couple of days. Tight security routines are the paradise for observers.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Mister Marek has a point.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Nothing about the Security measures in this bank are random.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: If we go all Bonnie and Clyde at the bank, we're going to need weapons.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: A minimum number. We can obtain them once we reduce a couple of guards.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I don't know what a Bonnie and Clyde is, but weapons suggest fighting, and fighting our way in would be suicide.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: What about anesthizine gas?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Agreed and I'd like to avoid a hostage situation, even though that might work.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Run it through the air ducts of the building?  Maybe?  If we can get the gas.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Exactly.
