OOC,The deluxe suite on the 17th floor does have one advantage: it's on the same floor as [b]Bhrunt[/b]'s room. In any case, going up to look at it will give us a chance to scope out that floor. HUMINT roll (53% skill) about the receptionist: [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Okay, as long as we still have time to get access to the rooms tomorrow. One thing that occurred to me is that if we can find a master keycard (such as housekeeping uses), we could swap one of our room keycards for it. They'll notice it doesn't work as soon as they try it, but hopefully they'd just get a replacement thinking it's been degaussed. If we're fast enough, we may be able to put it back before anyone notices. We may be able to clone a master keycard, using its data to overwrite the data on our room's keycards, if we can get ahold of a machine that writes to the magnetic stripe, which probably wouldn't take long to use.

ooc,Hmm, trying to decide what to make you roll here. Mr.Handy that's a good plan, let me go ahead and lay out the options I can think of. Persuade/bribe a worker to get access to the rooms. Roll persuade and after I add/subtract the modifiers( depending on what you tell them and how convincing it seems) I'll let you know how it goes. The risk here is them reporting you, especially if you crit fail. The benefit is if you get someone on your side, it makes the rest of this much easier. Or go ahead and try to steal the keycard while housekeeping is distracted. I'd probably say this is a stealth roll with a +20 bonus. (If you failed I'd probably say you need to roll persuade to bluff a convincing story, but this could be one way into transitioning into the first plan.) Then it's a matter of getting into all three rooms and ensuring you're not disturbed while you're planting the bugs, which could take some time. There are ways to do this, but I'd rather not reveal them. Just muse on it and see what you come up with. That's hopefully half the fun. Of course neither plan is without risk, and I want to restress to you guys that if you think it's too risky you could just forego bugging the rooms. Along with you both you have a team of FBI agents under your command who can shadow the targets whenever they're out in public, so bugging their rooms may not be something you wish to pursue unless you feel that one of them is up to something shady. It's entirely up to you how you conduct the investigation, and go about the mission. Hopefully I've not made this too obtuse!

OOC,I think Mr. Handy’s plan is good. Bribing a hotel worker is too risky. It shouldn’t be too difficult to distract somebody and take their card, although there is still risk. But we would ideally have to wire the room phones as well as the rooms themselves. And someone needs to monitor these wires too, at least while they’re occupied, and we can’t ask the rookies to do that. Still, we’ve come this far so we might as well do it. I say go with Mr. Handy’s plan.

OOC,Okay. I'll make the switch while [b]Nik[/b] distracts the housekeeper, seeing that I actually have points in Stealth. If we get spotted, then we can show the badges and say we're from the FBI and ask for assistance in our surveillance. Maybe we should try that tomorrow. In the meantime, we can try to obtain a machine that will allow us to copy a magnetic keycard. [b]McRay[/b] might be able to help us there.

OOC,Bureaucracy roll (42% skill) to get [b]McRay[/b] to provide us with a magnetic card writing machine: [dice]0[/dice] Does [b]Nik[/b] get to try to roll too?

OOC,I rolled for Nik but it failed: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/540288]Bureaucracy[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]38[/b]

ooc,Tough luck. Okay, i guess you should try to steal from housekeeping. This is a stealth roll with a+20 bonus. Only one of you can try it, so I assume Vanessa wants to give it a go/
