Excellent, we have a plan.
And with everyone heading to the target, so it goes too.
#63(b) waits until the group is gathered again, nearer to the building. Its brethren were always briefed before, despite ostensibly having the capacity to download orders directly. This was ostensibly so everything could be in paper form, which was more secure and could be burned deniably later, but everyone knew it was actually because the servers were being used to mine cryptocurrency. Funny how lack of scarcity had crashed the value of something as useful as a diamond, but anyone could make a new cryptocurrency and call it scarce, even today. But there had been no briefing today, and so it reflexively starts explaining the plans and ideas it's generated.
Old building, one of the older ones. Transport is when things are most vulnerable, so most likely, records and other classified information will have pooled there over time. It's probably been heavily upgraded below the surface, but the fact that the old facade is still there means that the building within is too important to have extensive upgrades done by outside contractors. That and it would be expensive, but the fact that Mission is Monopsonic in contractor jobs in the city does mean that there's at least an element of distrust there, since they can drive the price down significantly. Things need to be dealt with. It's probably guarded relatively lightly on the surface. Any information would be stored much farther in, but it might be heavily guarded.
If we can get blueprints, that would be ideal, but most likely, we don't have time.
I think I should scout the place out from across the street, and possibly cause a distraction. Once we're inside, the building can protect us, but it can also trap us if they surround it, so we'll need an exfiltration plan that doesn't involve the front door. We could improvise, we could try to get off via the roof, which could make us vulnerable to gunfire, or we could hope its above a subway or near a wide sewer line and attempt to crack in to one of those and escape underground.
The unit pauses for a short length of time, before a light on the side of its goggles flashes brightly for a moment, and it seems to activate some kind of hunting mode before continuing.
Let's also discuss acceptable-kill targets. I think we should aim to destroy difficult to manufacture equipment, destroy anything we're not able to take, and kill any employees who have a rare or valuable skillset. Executives are better ransomed or killed in a display fashion, and they can't run the company without qualified employees, they should not be killed immediately, if possible. So our targets should be senior programmers, people who know the filing systems, people with access to privileged information, and, if possible, well-trained soldiers, though they're optional if you don't think you can take one. Don't waste bullets, if possible, and be prepared to switch weapons with the dead.
Thoughts?
