    The investigators pursuing the Coroner's office assembles at the site of the Coroner’s office mentioned in the autopsy reports of two of the dead victims, Harper and Riggan.
    The office that you arrive at is downtown. There is a small guest parking lot. Here in view of the Kine, there could always be someone listening. Someone watching, unseen. The need for this investigation was to protect the Masquerade, it would not do to risk it with Masquerade breaching discussion here.

    To enter the guest parking lot, one must stop at the vertical lift gate. A manned security booth is used in conjunction with the gate. One man and one woman wearing dark grey security uniforms are within the booth that you must pass to gain access to the building.
    The public access sidewalk leading to the morgue’s office ends in a locked security door, in sight of both manned security booths.

    Attached to the building is a covered parking garage with a manned security gate, that requires some sort of identification to pass. A manned security booth is attached to the gate with a security booth. You must pass the guest parking lot to gain access to this parking garage booth.

    How do you approach the morgue – on foot or via vehicle?
    What time do you approach? Discuss in Vampire questions thread to have agreement. It is possible for one or more characters to arrive at different times.
    Include any equipment in your first post. Include your attire. If your character has altered their appearance, make a disguise roll.
    Please make a perception roll in your first post

    If you reach the number of successes below, your character knows the following information.
    Success of 2:
    The guard monitoring the parking garage is speaking on a handheld radio to someone.
    Success of 3:
    Your attention is drawn to the two security officers who are within the booth that you must pass to gain access to the building. You see that they routinely take turns monitoring the entrance to the parking lot as well as periodically checking the sidewalk, ensuring that there is overlap.
    There are two cameras on the guard booth – one trained on the sidewalk leading to the public health building that houses the coroner’s office and the morgue. The second is within the guard booth, pointed at the walk-up access to the security booth.

    Mable drove up to the guest gate with a big smile on her face she rolled down her window and waited to be let in or questioned. She had on her forestry uniform: brown tank top and shorts with a forestry green button down shirt on. SHe had on her hiking boots

    perception failure


    In her truck bed she had tarps, shovels, saws, rope, hooks, a tent, and a lantern. In her tote bag she had her cell on silent, a small laptop, pens, paper, work papers, lipstick, a brush, hairspray, a lighter, and a flashlight. on her wrist she had a apple watch and she had an ear bud connected to the watch and phone.

    Edward wore prescriptionless glasses and the blandest suit in his wardrobe. All too better to look like a nothing cog in a boring bureaucracy.
    failure

    But looking himself over, he just looked the same as always. Oh well, any longer and I'll be late.

    Edward got in his sliver GLA and set out. Not too long after, ending up behind a familiar pickup, waiting his turn at the security gate. He glanced for the thousandth time at the fishing rod bag in the back seat, concealing a rapier within.

    2 successes

    Milton turns into the guest parking lot, his black, mid-market sedan polished to a high shine. He makes a quiet grunt of annoyance at the line of cars ahead of him. Checks the time on the dash and frowns. The native impatience of those born rich is written all over his face.

    He does not need to disguise himself as a representative of faceless bureaucracy, because that's exactly what he is. Tonight, he's chosen one in an impressive collection of bland, but well-made, suits. The tie has a subtle pattern, nothing that stands out. And his black dress shoes are shined in the same manner as his vehicle.

    He waits, listening to the Five Satins' 'Wonderful Girl', feeling a slight discomfort at his own (fraudulent) body heat. His clear image in the rearview mirror is equally distracting. To occupy himself, he examines his surroundings.

    2 successes


    He spots the parking garage attendant speaking on his handheld and his frown deepens before disappearing entirely.

    This is going to be an...interesting affair.

    Equipment: Laptop in leather bag, $500 in wallet, business cards, smart phone.

    Mable looks behind her and sees the line forming, "Hello. Can you lift the gate please?" She says to the guards in her sweetest voice. She wonders if she should call the police chief to make sure she can have entry but decides to be patient first.

    The guards within the booth had been checking the screen down below the window, somewhere too low for Mable to see. One had picked up an IPad and approached the window to speak to Mable when Mable requests quicker service.
    The male guard frowns and lowers the IPad, studying Mable’s face.
    “Seems like we’re going too slow tonight, Valencia.” The man speaks to the woman in the booth with him. The woman laughs lightly, still checking the screens. After a moment, she joins the first guard in studying Mable for a long couple of minutes.
    The man turns back to Mable. "ID here, ma'am. And why exactly would we lift the gate?"

    He taps the tray at the window where ID and other paperwork can be slipped into the security booth.

    failure

    1 success


    The woman lifts an IPad that looks identical to the first guard. She presses a button and the intercome addresses those waiting behind Mable's truck.

    "We'll be with every one on a first come, first serve basis." She says in a calm, professional voice to anyone who rolled down her windows. After a moment, she makes a notation in her IPad.

    Mable and Edward can notice that the second guard spoke into her radio. She turned away, her back to the window. Those at the window now only see her back as she holds the radio to her mouth, looking downwards and focused. The other officer straightens his spine as he listens to what his partner says. The guard leans forward slightly and resumes studying Mable.

    Make a perception roll, please. If you attain the successes below, you learn this information.
    Perception roll 3 suxx: You hear the guard speak into her radio. "Wait. Wait. Ro, send me over that picture from 2019- the 148.1 and 207."
    Perception roll 4 suxx- You see that the guard identified as Valencia has equipped an ear piece for her radio. She is now likely listening to something that you cannot hear.
    5 suxx - There is a tinny sound and '... in 2019. Resolved with GSW... Never... ran off, screaming. Verify...'

    Mable slides her ID into the tray. "I'm so sorry. I wasn't trying to rush you. I just felt bad that I was holding up the line." She left the question about the gate unanswered.
    2 successes


    Mable saw the other guard on the phone but didn't think anything about it. She knew how busy guards can be.

    Mable doesn't have New Identity. Is this ID claiming her original birth date?
