Since we've rolled initiative, I'll save the deadpan response for until Vincent fills us in.
I wasn't sure how to pair up with Shodan since I wasn't told where he would be.

Wrong account
Shodan: you slide inside the network effortlessly, it seems the owners are naive enough to trust the default login credentials. In the year 2019, people still don't know to hash their passwords. Inside the server: mostly random junk, irrelevant business emails and a trove of excel spreadsheets. In its own folder, the guest list for the night.
The club's CCTV cameras are accessible from the server. As for the other systems, it will likely require the hacker to be physically plugged in.

Kaze looks at Phoenyx and then Shodan. "Okay, we need to make contact with...the contact. Do you know what he looks like or how we know who to talk to?" he asks Shodan.
Phoenyx watches Shodan with narrowed eyes and a slightly amused smile. "Really? You want help or not?"
The Arrow listens to the "plan". "That's all you have?" She arches an eyebrow looking between the two boys. "Marines normally have a more definitive target before they're deployed, Shodan. I don't know how to find people in clubs." She looks to Kaze. "Do you?"
The fact she had never been to a club before was neither here nor there.
Shodan is willing to take up Phoenyx's little game... for a moment "Neither of you is doing me a favor. There's a lot of bad dudes circling around, so getting intel on them is a public service you profit from as well" It all started as a favor for the Hierarch, anyway.
"Small jabs aside - no, that's not all I have. What I have is video feeds from the club and the guest list - dollars to donuts our contact is one of these people. If you have your IDs on you, I can add all three of us to the list - might mean we'll get in easier. Don't worry, I'll just wipe the database clean after" Unless the Arrows wanted to split up, which would also make sense in some scenarios.
"Also, it might be my paranoid self talking, but people like the one we seek are extremely well-informed. Chances are, they already know we are coming, and will seek to contact us" Now that would make their job easier "I'm afraid we'll have to improvise mostly, but the VIP lounge would be the first place I'd look"
A moment of silence. Then a realization. The previous field operation was made notoriously more difficult by the lack of efficient communication. But now that they are all Obrimoi here...
"One other thing. I propose we stay in radio contact at all times - in an environment like that it's easy to get lost. 107.9 should be clear"
Shodan's total Initiative is 11
Kaze shrugs at Phoenyx's question. "It's a computer thing. As far as I know, we don't have any idea what the person looks like or their real name or what name they'd be here under. Our best bet would be to contact electronically, and set up the meeting." he glances at Shodan. "That's probably more or less what's happened, so we are basically here for them to contact us. Well, for them to contact him, and us to watch each others' backs in case Physical Security becomes an issue."
When Shodan elaborates, Kaze smiles, "Sure." he says. He chants softly for a minute and then casts Transmission, to be able to hear and speak on the frequency Shodan designated.

"Contrary to popular believe the Arrow does not sit around waiting for others to call. 'taking my time', as you put it, means I am better prepared if this goes badly. And if it helps everyone, that includes you, Shodan, so yes, we are helping you as well." There's a twinkle in her dark eyes. Logical arguments with Shodan were challenging. That made them fun.
Still, he was right. They needed to focus. She reaches inside the Leather coat and pulls out a small cardholder. "Sounds easiest and least suspect, as long as that doesn't set of any antivirals. What kind of ID?" she asks.
There's a pause. "We're going into a place full of sleepers to find a suspected Seer agent. Why would that be paranoia?" The Arrow has no humour or sarcasm in her voice. "Still, if there is a chance they will look for us, or can see our spells, we would be best staying close. You two go in together. I'll stay close." Her Supernal Sight could pick Kaze out of a crown easy enough.
She mutters the High Speech of Atlantis, mimicking Kaze's spell.

Phoenyx looks between the two of them. "Since we are using radio signals, I can conceal our Transmissions, to a degree."
3 successes
Phoenyx has the dot of Fate necessary for Modulate Frequency, just FYI.
A hand is waved dismissively, but the Obrimnos can't help but laugh a bit "Whatever. Let's just get this done"
When it comes to documents... "Anything with your name on it. Driver's license should be enough" He says, extending a palm. If either of the Arrows give him the documents, Shodan'll type the necessary data in and then hand the IDs back. In any case, soon his own name is on the guest list.
"Aye aye captain" He says with the slightest bit of sarcasm. Still, he did ask for tactical advice, and now that Phoenyx was the Arrow-head she was most qualified to give it "Come on, Kaze, I feel we'll have terrific fun together. Every time we're in the field things seem to explode" The rather clever grenade in past-London. The car with the gangster. Well, the car that went boom wasn't as fun then, but it's the trope that counts.
So it leaves one question, and one question only...
The Libertine makes his way towards the line of people waiting at the club. Without the intention to actually wait. He's their guest, dammit!
Kaze nods and smiles at Phoenyx's direction, chuckles at Shodan's comments and hands Shodan his ID, preparing to head into the club with the man.
