CH2-2f The IT Crowd.

[ghill]

Who is here?,I know Jacob has as per my OOC suggestion headed out to the Prof's house, is Greg staying or going with Jacob?

Slipping between the cages, everyone finds a place to hide (can I have a relevant hide/camoflage skill) shortly after that a crowd of people leave the IT service workshop. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone walks down the corridor and turns off lights, and checking doors, in the distance a voice opens the door to the loos and asks if "anyone in there as we're locking up for the night".

[BenTheRat]

I'm going to make sure the jimmy bar is not with me, so if I get caught, I'm not caught with that.

[BenTheRat]

Clay takes his time to make sure he can really cover himself up with the rows of junk before the IT people leave.

He was able to do that with no problem at all. But if someone looks at all he wouldn't be able to hide.

OOC,Crit success on conceal but then failed my hide. Not sure if we had bonuses from the way you described it and the lack of them really looking.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz stashes her laptop and the other computer equipment she brought with her in one of the cages, where it would blend in with all of the other gear. She can always retrieve them once the building is empty. She isn't the best at hiding, but she isn't too bad at it either, and being small helps. If she is discovered, she is ready to pretend that she is just finishing up back here.

[ghill]

No one seem to notice Liz or Clay, or if they are they aren't paying either of them any attention. After a short while the lights in the corridor go out leaving them in gloom - not entirely dark as there seems to be some light coming from under the door to IT services.

[BenTheRat]

Clay waits another 2 mins then using the bluetooth. "its all clear here. I think we are good to go." Clay slowly peaks out to make sure there are not stragglers and retrieves his jimmy bar and heads to the IT door.

[Mr. Handy]

"Hang about," whispers Liz as she gathers her gear. "There's still a light on. I think someone else is here." She creeps up to the door and puts her ear to it.

[ghill]

Liz has to kneel by the door for a minute or so, but she thinks she can hear someone typing away on a computer and someone working at the back of the room, she can also hear the whirr of a printer.

[BenTheRat]

Clay looks at Liz with puzzlement. "Nightshift?"

[Mr. Handy]

"Dunno," Liz whispers back, "but there's at least two of them. Someone's typing on a computer, and someone else is at the back. They're printing something out."

OOC,Does the door have a keyhole or something else through which I can look?

[ghill]

Pressing her face up to the gap int he doors Liz can see a skinny man, hair streaked with grey tied back in a lank pony-tail leaning over a large printer clearly engrossed in whatever he's printing out.

Retroactive Doors,Rather than a single door which is how I had originally envisioned it, I think its probably more realistic to say its a pair of swing doors to allow staff to push trolleys of IT gear through easily. Light is coming through the panels of smoked safety glass

[BenTheRat]

Clay looks at Liz, "Is the door locked?"

[ghill]

Checking the gap between the doors, Clay can see that while there is a lock, it doesn't look as though its closed (ie the door is unlocked)

[BenTheRat]

"So 2 options, wait a bit to see if they leave, or we can rush them. I'm good either way, your call Cloe." Clay says.

[Mr. Handy]

"I say we wait for now," whispers Liz, taking out her laptop and booting it up, making sure the sound is muted, "and while we wait, there's something else I can do. If that computer they're using is connected to a wireless network, I'm close enough that I should be able piggyback and maybe find out what they're up to." She quietly describes what she saw through the crack in the door as she waits for the computer to finish booting, then scans for wireless networks once it's ready.

[ghill]

She finds several wireless networks, the strongest called BUW-Skaro seems the most likely.

Piggy back,Its a bit harder than just logging on the wireless and sniffing upstream to find out who or what is attached to the router. [b]Computer Use[/b] please

[BenTheRat]

While Liz does her computer thing, Clay carefully positions himself between her and the door so he can see if anyone approches the door.

He gets his knife out and readies it just in case.

[Mr. Handy]

"Ah, a fellow Whovian," whispers Liz. "That will make it easier to guess the password." She tries likely possibilities first, starting with Dalek and Davros, but she can't quite get the information she seeks.

[ghill]

A voice calls out from the workshop "Hey Albert, do me a favor reboot and reboot the wireless router. Its on the little shelf above the door, just wait a moment before switching it back on its a bit temperamental."

The man by the printer straightens up and puts the poster he's looking at carefully down on the table. "K, wait a minute"

[BenTheRat]

Clay looks over at Liz who has that look on her face that people can only get when dealing with a computer that isn't cooperating. He knows it because he makes it all the time. This is the first time he can remember Liz having it. "So what now?" he says softly into the blue tooth.
