> What would be best to temporarily disable the camera while you work on that keypad?

Pretend to argue with the receptionist while secretly keeping an eye on the door

That'll be hard, considering this is the BACK DOOR he's at now. No receptionist or anyone here.

[SNeakyRobot]

Then the guards will be alerted to the malfunction and check it out. also people will be suspicious with somebody fiddling with the keypad. The only people who have any business with a keypad know the code and get through fast.

[Asmodemus]

There's NO ONE HERE. Knocking out the camera might attract attention eventually but by then we should be inside.

[Skelatox]

>Open one of those put-the-camera-on-a-loop programs on your computer gizmo, then when nobody is looking, quickly plug it into the camera from behind and stash it under the camera mounting,

check theivery kit for that dust that shows fingerprints

and use it to determine whichever (# of digits in code) buttons have the most fingerprints. Hide in nearest bush substitute and

when somebody punches in a code try to spot what

order they are pushed in,

then punch in the code and you're in.

(So I've got alot of plans here, none of which are really complete, so I'm mixing, matching, and throwing a little bit in. The Theivery Kit, for future reference, is more like a Swiss Army Knife than anything. It's useful for snipping wires, picking locks, that kind of stuff).

Yeah, use your Thievery Kit to disable the camera.

Your first instinct is to disable the Camera with your Thievery Kit, but that may just attract attention, and it won't get you past the Keypad.

Of course, one of your problems could solve the other; you tamper with the camera, and then hide nearby.

As you expect, a Security Guard soon arrives to check it out.

Your Sabotage was subtle, he concludes that a wire just got loose, he plugs things back in and heads back inside.

Giving you both the code, and a good idea of how long it takes security to notice something's wrong with this camera (About ten minutes).

There seems to be an echo.

There seems to be an echo.

> Enter building then.

You slip inside. This little maneuver levels up your Breaking and Entering Skill.
You find yourself in a hallway, there is a stairwell, an elevator, and the door to an office. The hallway continues, lined with similar doors, until it reaches the lobby.

[Asmodemus]

> Peek inside the dept of boring buisness stuff.

[Xander]

Call the elevator, then send it to a floor that you aren't going to. Make sure you step out before the doors close then take the stairs. Much more subtle.

[Bloddyredcommie]

> Peek inside the dept of boring buisness stuff.

You decide to take a peek inside the Department of Boring Business Stuff. You see some filing cabinets, a guy working at a desk, and a janitor talking to Security Chief Browning.
You duck back out before he notices you. You've been on the business end of his Enforcement Procedures before, and you don't want to repeat the experience.

[AvzinElkein]

Wait for him to leave the room.

> Head down the stairs, the coolest stuff will probably be in a basement.

You decide to head downstairs. You find yourself in a Basement, apparently serving as storage for janitorial supplies. Lots of Janitorial Supplies.
Endless rows of paper Towels, sponges, Windex, mops, brooms, plungers, buckets, squeegees, tile cleaner, wood varnish, gum remover, vacuum cleaners, dustbins, dust mops¸ ant Traps, mousetraps, antmouse traps, and countless other products and devices used to keep Armistice Securities clean. You wonder how it's possible this building requires so many janitorial supplies, why they choose to turn their basement into nothing but a warehouse full of these things. The answers you come up with are too horrible to contemplate, and your mind seeks any other topic to dwell upon. The one it picks is the fact that you have absolutely no idea where the Labs are.

[Asmodemus]

> Read building directory.

> Wear janitorial disguise, given how many supplies they have janitors must be a common sight.

[Bloddyredcommie]

> Read building directory.

Note: Zoomed in on the interesting stuff.

Janitors need to know where Everything is.

[Asmodemus]

> Let's head to the electronics R&D, it might have some sort of neat device.

[SNeakyRobot]

> Go to lab X. Bring plungers to use as suctions cups for climbing like in Mission Impossible.

[KingTwelveSixteen]

>Floor 28 is where all the cool weapons are, go there.

As a wise man once said, Option D. All of the Above. The Physics and Chemistry labs you decide to skip, you're good but not THAT good. Armistice is primarily an Arms manufacturer, so the Electronics division is probably the least secured of the ones you want to hit. You figure you'll start there, then head down to the Weapons lab, then if the alarm hasn't been triggered yet, see what's in Lab X.
All in all, it's a plan that appeals to both your criminal tendencies and the dramatic flair that you like to imagine you have.

[Asmodemus]

> Open elevator, check for cameras.

> Check how your disguise works.

[Riou]

Just use the stairs! Preferably the fire exit stairs! Nobody uses those!

[SNeakyRobot]

> Never ever ever use an elevator. Ever. They are deathtraps. Do some needlesly difficult and several page long shenanigans to traverse the floors if you have to in order to avoid an elevator.
