<<Any ideas Green on how this guy might protect himself.>><br/><<Teleport blockers for sure.  When the enemy can come from anywhere, you make sure that they can't.  And a bunker.  You don't rely on any single thing to protect you.  Layers of defense, like an onion.  If he has that much money and the inclination, he could have a real fortress on his hand, just cleverly disguised as a mansion.>><br/><br/>"Well, given the extent in which this person is barricading himself from the rest of the world, and the paranoid level of defense, I'm more than willing to believe that he'd having something that would block teleportation close to him.  Not sure if it'd be the entire island, but I could see his mansion, or even just localized around his bots," Isaac mused aloud.  "Wouldn't also surprise me if he had a panic room of some sort, or a bunker underneath.  The mini-gun is intimidating, and so are the maids, but if they were taken out, he'd be left with nothing.  Really, I think he has more cards than he's showing.  The gun is just the most visible means of defense."<br/><br/>"Now, if I were a bad guy, I'd find his sister and kidnap her somehow, and then ransom her off for information or money.  She'd probably have her own protections of course, but probably not as secure as this guy.  Since I'm not a bad guy though, that's not an option.  Though... hey Theta: how convincing of a hologram can you make?  If you had time to observe someone's behaviour, could you create a reasonable facsimile of them?  Because if brute force is going to be more trouble than its worth, and we can't just teleport in and shock trooper things, why not try deceit?  If we can fake a kidnapping and holding her hostage, we can use that as a distraction while we infiltrate his base of operations.  We could use those two gang bangers as the hostage takers too, to make it more convincing.  It doesn't even have to be particularly convincing: we just need it to last long enough."<br/><br/><<As an interesting twist, why not intend to look incompetent?>><br/><<Hmm, not bad.>><br/><br/>Isaac rubbed his chin in thought, "Or even how about intentionally look bad?  Let him figure out that it's just a hologram and a double.  We can split into two groups.  One group can fake sneaking onto the island and be 'discovered'.  If the distance between the coast line and the gun is less than 10 kilometers, I can snipe down the mini-gun.  Maybe even do it off the shore.  While that team is acting as a distraction, the other team can sneak in and figure out what's what.  Lies upon lies."<br/><br/>"That's assuming we can't just teleport in deep and rummage around.  If we could, that would solve a lot of problems."
