Look in my day job I set this sort of thing up on a regular basis so I can give you a list of kit we need, just make sure you acquire it from a number of outlets pawn shops would be ideal. Paulus pauses for a moment. I wonder just how security aware they are, we could even try a drone, some of them have decent cameras on them, some even have low light cameras

"That will help," says Paula. "We'll need to be stealthy with a drone. If it gets seen, that will cause them to raise their guard."

“Perhaps the drone would be a bad idea.”Parker suggested. “Too high-profile and noticeable, don’t you think?

I don't think so. It is not like it will be buzzing around at head height, neither does it need to be right over the compound. Its just the height and all around visibility we want and the drone gives us that. Says Paulus

“The drone you have in mind...how big is it? It would be unwise to have a drone larger than the size of a human head, for example.”

"If the drone is small and the camera has zoom capability, that should suffice," says Paula.

Paulus looks at the other two and bursts out laughing for the first time in several weeks. "Do you guys try and teach your granny to suck eggs as well?"Without giving you to much personal detail but this is kind of my day job. Paula why don't you see about renting us some office space. Parker, you see if you can source the camera equipment, probably an idea to check out the pawn shops to keep the price down. I'll sort out a Drone
Paulus pauses for a moment ...and assuming we are going to go in at some point perhaps we should consider arming ourselves for bear. Texas doesn't require any type of permit for the purchase of firearms. The only thing is proof we are a resident of the state. So fake drivers licences are probably in order.
Keeper,[b]Paulus[/b] is looking for a DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter 4K UHD Video Camera Drone it retails for around $750, probably more if Paulus has to go to a brick and mortar shop. Its the number 1 drone recommended for surveillance.

OOC: So, we will fast forward if you all agree: you will now go sleep in a hotel and buy all the material you need at the morning.

You are all in a small office that was rented. You have gathered there all the material you have buy earlier (it was a busy day).

"All right, let's get the observation post set up," says Paula.

Paulus takes his time setting up the cameras so that they cover the entrance to the factory compound they are zoomed in so that without adjusting anything any car or person entering or leaving can be photographed and later identified.
OOC:Paulus has a Photography skill of 45% but he'll take as much time as needed until he gets it right
Once its dark the two of you should take the drone out and do a high altitude fly over you know just to make sure we have photos of all the buildings, while you do that I'll go and place the remote camera so that we can keep an eye on the big man's house says, Paulus

Paula familiarizes herself with the drone's controls so that she'll be able to pilot it when the time comes.

OOC: Kabukiman - So the idea is that while we wait for the contact to get back in touch we keep the house and the laboratory compound under surveillance, this will hopefully allow us to build a picture which identifies who works there, what possible security measures they have in place, when deliveries arrive when people come and go for work etc. Then we can work out how we can get in if we want.

OOC: Very well, but that will take at least one day (and maybe more). But before that, you receive a call from Bartholomey (from a safe line).
