Snyde: *Snyde gets out of the cab when it stops and offers Ness a hand*

Ness: The place is an two-story condo in a rich and wholesome neighbourhood. There are pots in her windows, and well taken care of plants growing out of them. The door to her place is thick and sturdy. Inside the doorway, her place is clean and well organized. Tables and chairs are set just so, and the couches are turns at precise angles to each other and their surrounding habitat. The livingroom, entrance, and the dining room are combined into one large area, and there are doorways leading off to stairs leading upstairs, downstairs, to the kitchen, and to the washroom. The couches are white leather, and the tables and chairs are real oak. The only electronic items in the main room is a large and expensive entertainment centre in the center of the living room, and an electric guitar and amp right beside it.

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana steps out of the cab at the designated destination. She's dressed down. An ankle length black flowing silk skirt under a simple white tunic blouse. Black silk gloves with a long strapped matching purse handing over her skinny chest. Her long dark hair is down, hanging in loose waves past her waist. She pays the man and steps hesitantly toward the place, muttering under her breath. Her posture is as formal as ever with a sterile gaze about the place.

Ness: Ness doesn't even notice his hand, she's that nervous. She steps by him and steps up to her front door quickly, grabbing keys out of her pocket along the way.

Snyde: *Snyde shrugs and follows Ness*

Ness: She opens the door carefully, punching in the code for her security system with a practiced hand, and proceeds to take off her layers and layers of winter clothing.

Snyde: *Snyde moves inside behind her* "nice place you have here"

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana takes a deep breath before stepping carefully to the door. She gives it a stern knock with a gloved hand.

Evan: *the man pulls up and finds a place to park. gets out of the car and goes around to the other side*

Ness: She pauses and frowns, "It's my place." She gives Snyde an odd look, and then looks out the peephole, before letting Adriana inside. "Hello."

Snyde: *Snyde smiles at Adriana* "Hey Doc"

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana flashes a protocol smile to the woman. Professional. "Hello, dear. I trust Snyde is with you.." she looks around the woman for her associate.

Adriana Carmichael: After spotting Snyde, she steps in with a sharp glance around the place. A tiny nod. This will do. "You keep a tidy living area. I can respect that." She makes for a couch, taking a seat on the far edge.

Michelle Morgan: She gets out of the other side of Evan's car, looking around as she does so. The woman's in her incognito wear, which is a cowboy hat and sunglasses, a green dress blouse, and a pair of white slacks. A smile is given to Evan, and she looks up to the place.

Ness: She opens the door wider, glancing back toward Snyde. "Cold..." And she isn't just talking about the weather.

Snyde: *Snyde moves over to sit near Adriana* "So Doc what exactly do you know about the perp we are going to nab"

Snyde: *Snyde shrugs to Ness*

Evan: *grins to Michelle and shuts her door for her* hey, lady--can you help carry the sacrificial offerings? specifically, the marshmallow fluff and cookie sticks? i got the rest. *chuckles. although the hazel eyes keep glancing around*

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana folds her gloved hand sin her lap, looking to snyde. She's in no mood to discuss her people skills. "Not much, I'm afraid. I've only met the man once. He seemed nice enough. Very professional as one could imagine. I really know nothing of interest."

Ness: Ness closes the door slowly, and registers the image of two people sitting in her living room. She's never seen that before.

Snyde: *he nods at that*

Michelle Morgan: "Yeah, no problem." She takes the requested foodstuff, and then, with a grin to Evan, moves to the building, walking up to the door and knocking.

Evan: *follows in her wake with pizza, bushmills, and a 6-pack of Red Stripe* thank you, ma'am.

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana blinks with a steely gaze to the door, hearing the knock.

Ness: She glances through the peephole again, "Evan brought company." She opens it nervously for her new guests, "Welcome... my home. Come in?"

Adriana Carmichael: Hearing this, she mutters softly "Lovely.."

Michelle Morgan: d10: Intelligence: 6,8,3,

Snyde: *At hearing about the company Snyde just carefully moves his hand over one of his pistols before seeing smiling when he sees michelle*

Evan: *gives Ness a warm smile from behind Michelle* hey there. i brought food for the ravening hordes descending upon you. and there's chocolates in the bag with the beer. Mom taught me decent manners, not that i use them most of the time.

Michelle Morgan: She nods to Mess, very vaguely recognizing her, offering the woman a smile. "Thanks." She steps in, looking around the main area and offering smiles to everyone inside. "Hey, guys."

Adriana Carmichael: (i thought her arcane was down. if not i need to roll)

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana flashes Michelle a sterile smile. "Hello, dear."

Michelle Morgan: ((I thought Ness's was always up. :P))

Snyde: *Snyde looks at the gathered people* "allright I guess the gang is all here" *he says with a nod to everyone*

Ness: She smiles at Evan, "Ravening hordes..." She lets them inside and shuts the door behind them. "Does anyone need anything from the kitchen?" ((Arcane down.))

Snyde: "just a glass" *he says with a smile*

Evan: hail the gang. *tilts his head to Ness* where should i put this stuff down? Michelle was kind enough to bring in the dessert.

Ness (Arcane 2): "I will get glasses. Evan, could you bring it to the kitchen table in the other room? We can make a dish. I don't want to mess the furniture too badly."

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana crosses one long leg over the other. "I don't need anything, dear. Thank you."

Evan: *nods* yes ma'am. *shifts stuff to get the dessert from Michelle (unless she heads for the kitchen herself) and follows Ness into the kitchen. proceeds to unpack the beverages* here, these're for you. Mom said that when you go to someone's house the first time, you should bring 'em something. *waggles a small box of Whitman's at her*

Ness (Arcane 2): "I like your mom." She takes the box with a mild smile and sets it down on the counter. "This was very nice. Thank you."

Michelle Morgan: She hands the stuff off to Evan with a garteful nod, and moves to take a seat.

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana gives a nervous glance around the room. "Your place.. is it bugged?"

Evan: welcome. *gives her a grin and claims one of his beers* may i eat my 'za straight from the hand, or would you rather i use a plate? *a lopsided grin* i'm starved.

Snyde: *Snyde sits there and waits for ness to get back*

Ness (Arcane 2): "Would you mind using a plate?" She fetches some glasses and puts them on a tray. "What does one serve at something like this? What do conspirators eat?"

Snyde: *Snyde laughs* "Looks like pizza" *he says as he takes a glass and grabs the bottle of whisky and pours himself a glass*

Evan: pizza and beer. *nods solemnly* followed by graham cracker sticks dipped in marshmallow fluff. *chuckles* anything i can do to help before we go out and begin plotting?

Evan: ((2 pizzas, by the way. and be grateful Evan didn't order his favorite....))

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana shifts her weight, nervously and looks over to Snyde. "How are things going with your little woman?"

Snyde: *He shrugs* "There going, how about with your artist friend?"

Michelle Morgan: "I prefer the term 'plotter,' actually, Ness." She smiles a bit and leans back.

Adriana Carmichael: "Fine." She lies. Blatanly. "Couldn't be better."

Ness (Arcane 2): "Not that I know of, feel free to explore the cupboards. Her kitchen is full of small, but various, foodstuffs of every sort. A lot of it looks hardly touched, with a cracker missing from here, and a bit of milk missing from there. She walks out to the persons in the living room with the tray.

Ness (Arcane 2): "Plotter..." She smiles again.

Snyde: "Allright" *says Snyde as he takes a drink* "Well we need to figure out the best coruse of action to take our perp alive"

Michelle Morgan: "We've still got to get you two into Haven at some point," she says to Adriana and Snyde with a smile. "If, of course, you're still planning on it. It's up to you."

Adriana Carmichael: She gives a tiny nod. "I could try an immobilization serum. Perhaps then we could transport him to another location for questioning."

Snyde: *snyde nods to Michelle* "Give me a time for the silly tour and im there" *he says before takeing another drink* "and does the tour come with refreshments or is it bring your own?"

Evan: *chuckles and piles a few slices onto his plate. finds napkins and stuffs a couple into his pocket. grabs the beer, and heads back out to find a spot on the floor to sit. hey, on the floor, he won't spill on the white leather--he hopes*

Michelle Morgan: She frowns a little and purses her lips, as Snyde belittles her admittance procedure. "No, you can bring your own if you like."

Ness: Best not to rely on Adriana for graceful tactics. "I'd rather not kidnap a potential ally. What is his stance towards us?" She sets the tray down on the table and stands back up smoothly. "What is Haven?"

Snyde: "allright" *he says with a nod to her*

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana gives a tiny nod to Michelle, before glarind coldly to snyde "We'll be there. Respectfully. Thank you, dear."

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana flicks a steely gaze to Ness "He's with the Union. Take a guess."

Snyde: "Well until we know his stance towards us he should be treated as an enemy" *he says looking at Ness*

Evan: *arches a brow at Adriana* what exact effect would such a serum have? i mean, would he go to sleep, or act drunk? *curious rather than agressive. eating a large bite of double pepperoni and shroom pizza* oh, anyone hungry, help yourself to the pizza. obivously. we have this, and plain cheese. figured that'd be the safest route.

Ness: "I think he should be treated as a potential enemy. If we do not have a concern for his wellbeing, perhaps we might as well simply download his memories and be done?"

Michelle Morgan: "Allen had said that this Nolan person is with the Union, but he didn't know whether he was with the side who was opposed to the Pogrom, or the side that supported it. If I recall, he was...Iteration X, was it? And they're for it, but he worked with Allen's people, so..." She shrugs. "Best to treat like an enemy, for subdual purposes. Otherwise, we could come out quite the worst for wear."

Snyde: "I have concern for his well being, I just think it is best to take him alive and question him, rather than invite him out to dinner and ask him about what he thinks of us 'reality deviants' as I think we are reffered to" *he says with another drink*

Adriana Carmichael: She looks to Evan "I could do either. Whichever you'd prefer." Looking back to the others. "If we want to try to coerce him to our side.. our best bet is to temporarily incapacitate.. in as friendly a manner as possible.. and relocate for questioning."

Evan: *ponders* so, the idea is to grab him as gently as we can. and if we're going to try and convince him we're not out to do whatever it is they think we do, then we should take care to explain ourselves and our reasoning asap. plus, any bargains we might end up making with him, we'd better damn well keep.

Michelle Morgan: "Thank you, Evan." She smiles to him, and then looks to Adriana and Snyde. "No argument there. We can capture him, and then take him to the warehouse. Safest place that isn't a Chantry."

Ness: "Wow. Bold. When and where would be the optimal location for the extraction procedure?" She sits down on another couch, by herself.

Evan: *nods to Adri* personally, the , um, disoriented kind of thing might be better in a way, assuming we can give him an antidote when we're secure. but it might be more comfrtable for himto just knock him out.

Snyde: *Snyde nods* "Allright we have the want and we even have part of the how, now all we need to do is figure out a way to inject him, without putting ourselves in to bad of a light"

Adriana Carmichael: "It really depends on where he agrees to meet me at. Our best bet would be a location outside the lab, since I'm fairly certain the lab is under constant monitoring. Perhaps I could set up a luncheon of sorts. Something away from Olympus."

Evan: *sets down his beer to give Michelle a cheerful salute. mouth currently full*

Snyde: "Allright, but we would need for this to be done someplace private, or we risk getting attention we really dont need" *he says as he pulls out a smoke and places it between his lips*

Ness: She glances down at the pizza.

Adriana Carmichael: She gives a nod, bringing a finger to her chin in throught. "If it was to be a luncheon.. I don't know how we could pull it off privately unless we knew of someone who owned such a place. Someone who could provide discretion. Even in a private booth, it would be far fetched to carry the man out the front door without it going unnoticed."

Michelle Morgan: She thinks, frowning a little. "One of the smaller parks in the city, perhaps? Try and find one no one visits, and nab him there? Or if we can do it without a lot of fuss, a small, secluded restaurant?"

Ness: She's still staring down at the pizza intently. "Where does he sleep?"

Evan: what about asking him to meet you at this nice little Italian place downtown? *blinks to Adri* it's clean, quiet--a bit shabby around the edges, but nice. and just well-lit enough that he won't think you're asking him there for a bit of romance. the bonus is, it's in the sort of neighborhood where people don't like to ask very many questions.

Adriana Carmichael: "You want I should convince the bearocrat to meet with a doctor.. in a park, dear? That would certainly raise his suspiscions. And I don't personally know of too many secluded restraunts in New York city." Looking to Ness "If we knew that, I doubt we'd be having this conversation."

Michelle Morgan: She thinks. "There's someone I can conceivably talk to, who might be able to supply a restaurant. I'll see what I can do about it."

Adriana Carmichael: She nods. "Let me know. I don't know of a place that meets the requirements. When we figure it out, I'll call him for the meeting."

Snyde: *Snyde nods to Michelle* "Also the rest of us should try and stay out of site until after he goes down no need in raising his suspicions by haveing alot of people on the list near the meeting, and you Michelle if I understand are some kinda singer which would draw some unwanted attention as well" *he says as he takes another drink from the glass of whiskey*

Michelle Morgan: "I'll see what I can do." She nods a little to Adriana. "Hopefully, it'll pan out...we should have a plan B, though."

Adriana Carmichael: She nods to Michelle "Naturally. Does Plan B follow the assumtion that he'll only meet me in the lab? Because that's always a possibility."

Michelle Morgan: "Yes, Snyde, I'm a singer." She quirks a grin. "I can stay away, if you guys would prefer. Unfortunate fact that my pseudo-quasi celebrity status does attract crowds."

Ness: She sinks into the leather slightly.

Evan: ((*G* icq, she is back!)) however, there should be at least a couple of us in the place if we do a restauarant. *ponders* Michelle, Snyde's right. you're easily recognized. and the Doc's going to be the star of the show. which leaves, maybe, Snyde and i, or Ness and i. Ness,s erious question. do you think you could pretend to be on a date with either Snyde or me?

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana frowns at the star of the show comment, folding her arms over her chest. Nervous.

Ness: "I... I suppose." She looks up from the pizza and glances between Snyde and Evan. ((Who is better looking?))

Snyde: *Snyde rest a reassuring hand on Adriana's shoulder* "I agree with that we need people on the inside just incase it turns hostile"

Snyde: ((app 2))

Snyde: ((and over 30))

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana shrugs off the man's hand. "I'll be fine, dear. Though I would prefer you were nearby." She flashes a stern gaze to snyde.

Snyde: *Snyde nods* "ill be there Doc"

Evan: ((*L* prolly Snyde. Ev's only a 2, poor man.))

Evan: ((*L* well, Ev's under thirty, at least. *G* and still semi-buff from military days. still nowhere near the manly version of Michelle, though!))

Michelle Morgan: She's quiet, looking back and forth between them all.

Ness (Arcane 2): She looks down at the pizza again. People make everything so complex. She folds her hands on her lap.

Snyde: *Snyde looks to Evan* "ill just be near by the establishment if you want to be on the inside with Ness, if anything goes wrong ness can contact me through the headsets she aquired for this"

Evan: *nods to Snyde* if you'd rather be on the inside, i'm good with that. all i really need is to know where to be, when, and what the plan is. plus the plan for if things get ugly.

Adriana Carmichael: Adriana gives a tiny nod, looking to the carpet. "If things get ugly, Mr. Nolan should be exterminated. We shouldn't give him the chance to relay our knowledge to the rest of the union. If they know we're suspiscious they'll strike."

Ness (Arcane 2): "I agree. Weapons?"

Snyde: *Snyde nods to that* "If your enemy cant be captured then I agree they should be sent back along the wheel"

Evan: *nods to Adri* i agree. thing is--how? *a slow blink* shooting? or...*purses his lips* if you can slip your serum into his drink--what if it's one so if he doesn't get the antidote, he'll die? that might be making things too involved, i don't know. no clue how to make drugs of any sort.

Michelle Morgan: ((Guys, I gotta take off...I have the log up to now. Someone log the rest for me?))
