[Ruski]

looking you over once she takes the paper from your hand, running some numbers through the computer. after a moment of silence she hands you back the paper without looking at you, and grabs a couple of guest passes, and clipboards from under the desk.

"Just fill out this paperwork, and press your thumb into the chip reader on the clipboard. that'll activate your RFID encoded ID tags. from there the central computer will alto-map you to where you need to go, and probibly even tell you what's broken. it's got a bunch of self diagnostic capabilities now; thanks to our math devision. "

she hands you the clipboard. as you look at it, it digitally scans your face, and your image apears on the front of the ID tag, with 'visitor' printed in big scrolling red letters acrost it.

[kv]

((OOC: oh crap. Here's wishing we had gotten some false fingerprints. We'll have to wipe the database before we leave.))

*without hesitating, do as she says, pressing my thumb to the pad. Move my thumb around a little to mess up the fingerprint*

"Will do. I've heard some good things about your wiz math division."

She nods instead of talking to you. as you try to hand back the pad she nods over to your friends.
"Everyone who goes in will need to fill that out."

[kv]

*This could go very badly, but I'll pass the clipboard to Sam and Tak at the same time

I'll akwardly hold both clipboards, and try to smear my finger on Tak's while I pass Sam's to him, using the movement as cover- stealth test*

21 9 5 4 3. Any successes?

Okay, you hold the thumb from your opposite hand upside down on the finger print scanner as you pass it to Tak. He may be on his own for the digital picture though.

I'll take the clipboard and hold it so it looks like I pressed my thumb on it.  I'll cross my eyes in a way that makes it look like I kinda have a lazy eye and hold the thing a little close so I might end up getting a slightly fish-eyed picture.  I don't remove my hat.  That and the fact that I haven't shaved in a while (and it was a requirement to be clean shaven at work) will hopefully cover me.

(/ooc)

Alright. Your photo ID on the card is... less than intelegent looking, to say the least. you are confident that it dosn't look anything like 'you'... and no guys with guns start storming out of the hallways as soon as the picture is taken. that's a good sign right?

[mercy]

I wipe my hand on my grease rag then take the clipboard and place my thumb on the pad barly making contact

That's nicely paranoid of you. your thumb leaves a black grease mark where it did touch the pad.

[kv]

*once that's done, I'll turn back to the secretary*

"Anything else? Which elevator should we ride up in?"

She raises one eyebrow when you hand her back the greasy and messy paperwork. "Service. There on the right. Just talk to the computer. and try to avoid talking to people... they'll certanly be avoiding you."

[kv]

*I'll make a face when I eye the greasy paperwork*

"Oh, sorry about that."

*wipe my hands on my coveralls, then start walking toward the service elevator with Sam and Takashi in tow. Once we're out of earshot, I'll lower my voice to a conspiritorial whisper*

"Frag, Tak... Drek, I feel uncomfortable calling you that right now. I'm just going to call you 'John' until we're out of here. Do you think we're okay? I didn't expect that whole photoID and fingerprint routine. Any other hurdles we need to know about before we move on?"

(OOC)
What else might we be up against Ruski?  It's been a while since I've read the corporate security handbook

(/OOC)

Well, the last time you tryed to use a guest pass was back when you were still an intern; many-a-year a go. they've made quite a few changes sence then; and you, much like everyone else, had a nice eyes on the floor in front of you policy when it came to interacting with people from diffrent sections or classes.

also, the dirrectional AI is new. (they must have installed it the same day you left) although that was partially what you were working on. you are suprised to see it up and running so quickly. perhaps they are just testing it on the service people before going full on with it?

other than the regular difficulties already outlined; you have no real idea what you are going to be up aghinst. you haven't even ever taken the service elevator anywhere before.

[kv]

"Crap. Well, I guess we'll just have to be careful."

*push the button to call the service elevator*

"I don't like this AI thing- any way we can circumvent that, and deal with it before it becomes a problem?"

[Ruski]

as you step into the elevator, the doors close, and you are greeted by a bodyless voice.

Good evening Gentalmen. I am the Directional Atominious Help Managment system. most people just call me the 'Dahm Computer.' I see your work order is for air-conditional repair. as it is, my current self diagnostics read only a partial blockage allong section G-42. not normally enough to call in a repair team; but I can dirrect you there anyways. Shall I take you down to the basement / boiler room?.

[kv]

*pretend to be reading the work order*

"I guess we can check that out too- but this work order says for us to check the server room."

Server room is currently operating at 300% heat dissapation efficency. bouth the primary and secondary cooling systems are functoning at 100%. air purification filters are not due to be replaced for another six months.

[kv]

"That's great, but I have a work order right here in my hand that says 'Do it.' You don't know Tom, the dispatcher, but he gets pissy when he sends me on a job and then I don't do it."

[[OOC: Can you bluff a computer?]]

Standard operating procedure is to follow voice commands untill problem is remided. deviation will be cause for removal from the facility by armed escort. I can run a query to the source of the request and have a supervisor manually overide the default operating peramiters. ... original request originated from... and has comments from... Richard Killian, Math Department Head.

[kv]

"Okay, you 'query' him, and we'll be down looking around in your boiler room. But trust me, if we don't get in to see that server, heads are gonna roll."

[kv]

*ride the elevator down to the boiler room, and find a jackpoint there for "John" to mess with the system some more*

'Alrighty, DAHM, where is it you wanted us to look over?

The elevator begins to move downward. it's a quiet ride, and as the doors click open you are greeted with the musty smell of damp and undercleaned passageways. this is a wide hall, aparently an older part of the building, and still aparently 'unfinished' there seems to be storage for desks and whatnot, but no real personel would probibly get any of thease mildew covered things. the systems voice crackels over an aparently oudated loudspeaker from outside the elevator.
You'll find the closest access point to the blockage just down this hallway. simply follow the lights.
with this, the lights each 'flicker' in sequence, creating a visual trail for you to follow down the corridor and arround a corner.

[kv]

I'll do a visual sweep and see how many, if any cameras, are pointed at us.

If I don't see any, I'll still try and use body movement (picking up my tools) to slide my gun out of it's holster and up my sleeve.

I'll be honest- I don't like this. In fact, I'd probably say as much to Takashi and Sam.

"Guys, be alert- I don't like the way this is headed. They're almost giving us a roadmap to 'bury your employees here,' and that's not a place I'm willing to go quietly," I'll whisper to them.

There's a couple of camera's from yesteryear that seem to be kinda pointed in your general direction. more or less.
