<strong>Maj. Laughton, with Nikita Stack and Francine Littlejohn - Getting in and setting up.</strong><br/><br/>As the three of them made their way from the secluded garage up to the main house, Iffy popped another message into Anne's head.<br/><br/><em><tt class="bbc_tt">Got Overwatch. Guy looks good.</tt></em>And a pgp encrypted file.<br/><br/>The AI knew better than to give too many details, because the secure line wasn't active yet, but Anne got the gist of it and forwarded it to the other two via local secure frequency, once she had decrypted the new sniper's details. She shrugged. "Could use a sniper for this one, on the way in and the way out."<br/><br/>With a chuckle, she sent back:<em>Approved. Get him here same time as the others. Not a moment sooner!</em><br/><br/>The three of them entered the house, and Anne sent Niki to set up the basement, while she prepared the main room.<br/><br/>The next sixty or so hours were hard work, planning, preparations, getting various items from various suppliers. A certain amount of DIY in the cellar was necessary, and then Niki had fun testing her installations on both Anne and Frannie. Francine wasn't too happy about it, not being used to Niki's brand of sexuality, but Anne told her that it was necessary she get used to it.<br/><br/>Finally, with a few hours sleep and a few hours to spare, everything was ready.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><em>The front door of the house opens onto a large room with a wooden floor and a staircase going up. Upstairs are several bedrooms. Under the stairs is the door leading down to the cellar. The middle of the room is occupied by a large dining table, with eight chairs around it. The far end of the room is curtained off. Beyond the curtain is is the door to the kitchen and the veranda over-looking the lake.<br/><br/>On arriving, the team will be shown into the main room by Niki. Anne will be seated at the head of the table, her back to a wall. The seat to her right, also back to a wall will have Nikita's jacket on the back. The seat to Anne's left is occupied by Richard “Oni” Preston, who arrived an hour before the rest. The remaining five seats will be vacant to start with. Of Francine Littlejohn, there is no sign.<br/><br/>In the middle of the table is a black box about 4" cubed. Some may recognise it as an AI terminal and holoprojector.</em></span>
