Plotting an Explosive Escape

[immortalthief]

Sitting in a booth littered with schematics and surveillance photo's.

A pen cradled between the fingers of her right hand she drinks from a cup of tea with the left.

Her hair is tied back and she is dressed in black tights and turtleneck.

Comments

[runningred]

"You look like a woman with a plan." Jay comments, sitting down across the booth with a mug of coffee.

[immortalthief]

"A plan in progress" she begins to smile before Amanda even turns to greet her friend.

"How are you feeling?" she knows that mortals heal from injuries more slowly.

[runningred]

"Fully healed." He assures her. "The joy of Milliways. Really good medical facilities."

[immortalthief]

"Yes, and the best medical personnel." her expression warms thinking about her friend Guppy.

A moment later she is back to the present, "Well if you are healed, what do you think about shutting down some blood diamond operations?" her smile turns mischievous.

[runningred]

"That too." Jay grins.

"Sounds like exactly the sort of distraction I could do with right now. How messy are you looking to get?"

[immortalthief]

"I'm looking for a zero casualty operation." because that is the difference between Amanda and AU!Amanda.

[runningred]

"I can promise to try." Jay answers seriously. "But if things get out of hand, that may not be a decision you can stick to."

[immortalthief]

She frowns but nods.

Sprawling out the plans and photo's for him to look at. "This is the leader" she points to a man in a photo.

And then she points to a map, "These are their supply routes."

[runningred]

"So you want to hit them on route? What's the terrain like?"

[immortalthief]

"I was thinking of cutting off the supply lines. Thinning their numbers." referencing the maps, "The mines are in the mountains. Which will work for us. Allow for better cover."

She points out, "There are the barracks where they keep the slaves"

[runningred]

"Goons are cheap. We need to act quickly after we hit the supply lines. They'll re-arm quicker than you'd expect."

He taps the slave barracks. "You know I'm going to need to do something about that, right?"

[immortalthief]

"Oh, we are going to free them" that's why she pointed it out.

"I've secured transport and am working on adding extra armor and power because we are probably going to be getting out hot and fast."

[runningred]

Jay nods. That would have been a deal-breaker.

"If you can bring it here or tell me what model it is, I can help with the armour. I have a few tricks up my sleeve in that department."

[immortalthief]

"How do I get a vehicle here?" because she wouldn't mind the extra hands and expertise.

[runningred]

"Do you have access to a stable door? If you do, you might be able to just drive it on."

[immortalthief]

"I don't, but I could. I'll bring it in next week. I'm still working on travel documents."

[runningred]

"For yourself? I figured I'd come to and from here. Saves on the paperwork. That work for you?"

[immortalthief]

"Yes, I need them for me in case the bar sends me back there. And to get past the patrol in case we run into one of them."

"Can you see anything that I'm missing?"

[runningred]

"Not yet. Run me through what you have planned start to finish and I'll let you know."

[immortalthief]

"It'll all start in this little town here at the base of the mountain." she points out the locations on the map, "The vehicle and clothes will be waiting there. I'll come here and pick you up."

"We'll change and then head up this side road." she describes the patrol patterns and the 'soldiers' weaponry.

"Their supplies arrive on the every Thursday. I was thinking of sneaking in on Wednesday night and setting explosives around the base of the mine and in key locations." she points them out.

[runningred]

Jay nods. "All makes sense so far. What's your preference in explosives? And have you got the mine schematics?"

[immortalthief]

Shaking her head, "No, I'm still trying to figure out where to find them"

"I was thinking C4, would you suggest something else?"

[runningred]

"C4 works. I can bring some det cord shape charges too. Just in case. They make useful door openers."

[immortalthief]

"Opening doors is usually my specialty" she laughs.

[runningred]

Jay ducks his head in apology. "Of course. Didn't mean to step on your toes. So, next question. When?"

[immortalthief]

"NO offense taken" she is still in good spirits, "I'll bring the transportation here as soon as I can." her door is rather unpredictable, "Based on current patterns late next week. Once that is prepared we can figure out which week we want to strike."

[runningred]

He holds a hand out to her. "Looking forward to it."

[immortalthief]

She shakes his hand, "As do I."

[runningred]

{ooc: Shall we wrap there and pick up when you're ready?}
