That's part of Hotel-plan B, and Hotel plan A means spoofing the escort service to<em>be</em>the ordered escorts.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">One thing I didn't make clear (apologies) is that the guards/briefcase is in a hotel in Renton, near the Shadow Lake Correction Facility.  The gang (and by extension where the bar they'd be harassing) are in Puyallup (though the bar might be on the edge of Auburn).  So there would be some distance between where the gang distraction would take place and where the hotel heist would occur, I'd need to figure out the distances better to estimate time between them.  <br/><br/>The distance could also provide additional ways to delay the gang.  Not that I mean to make it too hard to decide on a plan.  :P</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Per that guideline that<em>I</em>intend to follow even if nobody else does, since we have a plan that works<em>I'm</em>not gonna try and rapid-pivot it to something else.<br/><br/>Puyallup to Renton can be a 20 minute drive, it can be a 2 hour drive - in today's traffic.  In 2076-78, I don't imagine it getting any better without usage of bikes to go through traffic - or T-birds to go over it, but T-birds attract a whole nother kind of attention.  Assume we're out of range for assisting each other unless Biker group has gone to a "Run away" plan.<br/><br/>We're on our own, girls.  From that perspective, do we want Butterfly on the Briefcase, or there to help handle the gang?  If Myriad and Nadia can handle them (and I am becoming increasingly sure they can), it sounds like we might be better off having the punchy girl on the Bikers.  She might make a more plausible bodyguard than Junkcat too.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I will say 1d6 days until the job, rolling a die results in... 1 day.  So not a ton of time for planning.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Oof.  Butterfly smells a boss who might sit on intel long enough to make our job harder.

That leaves the other girls some leeway in how they perceive Stella, too - how do they feel about getting stuck with this newbie in their run? Especially Junkcat, if she's to be going with her. As for Stella, she probably admires all of them but is going to try hard (probably too hard) to act like she belongs and pretend she's not at all afraid or nervous.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Butterfly is probably going to be really dismissive ... but lowkey protective.  We<em>clearly</em>have been set up, and while Butterfly may not be a shadow<em>runner</em>she has at least live in the shadows (and been betrayed) often enough to know the score.  That's okay by her - she knows she can take it - but you've clearly been set up worse.  She's probably not going to say as much - because I think Stone would have either warned her not to, or if not would<em>want</em>to record Butterfly breaking poor Stellas heart, and Butterfly won't give him that satisfaction.
