Solo & Strick
Solo, I see you dodged that ambush again. Want to run the numbers on how you pulled it off, and maybe we can tighten the margins?
Yeah, quick math: 4 seconds in, 2 in the alley, 1 out the window. I threw the first distraction, the squad was scrambling, then I slipped past the gap in the wall—fast, quiet, and no one even saw me. We cut the risk by a solid 30% just by using the shadows. Want the same plan for the next run?
Nice. The 30% cut is good, but we need the exact timing, the squad’s patrol patterns, and the fail‑safe for if someone spots the shadow. Send me the full runbook and I’ll run the probability model.
Alright, here’s the rundown: 0-2s: I hit the alarm switch to snag the guard’s attention. 2-4s: I dart into the service corridor, keep low and move at a speed that lets me stay below the patrols’ visual range. 4-6s: I slip through the maintenance hatch—no light, no noise. 6-8s: I hit the door on the other side, lock it with a quick pry, and set a small timed delay on the alarm so the squad thinks we’re still there. Patrol pattern: they move every 12 seconds, heading east on the main hall, then looping back after 24 seconds. Fail‑safe: if a guard spots me, the first alarm triggers a secondary diversion in the back room, buying me 3 extra seconds to disappear into the ventilation shaft. That’s the full play.
All right, the steps are clear. I’ll run a quick probability check on the patrol timing and the diversion trigger window. We need to confirm the exact delay you’ll set on the alarm—if it’s too short the squad will notice the second alarm too fast. Also, the ventilation shaft exit must be mapped: any door or grate that could delay you. Send those coordinates, and I’ll calculate the optimal exit time to keep the risk below 10%.
Okay, lock it in: The alarm delay is 4.5 seconds – long enough that the squad thinks the first alarm is still active, but short enough that the secondary one blinks after I’ve already slipped out. Here’s the map run‑by‑numbers: entrance is at (14,22), I hit the service corridor, grab the maintenance hatch at (12,20), pop out the door at (12,24) and set the pry. Then I slide under the small panel at (11,27) and pop into the ventilation shaft at (11,26). From there I’m off the grid by the time the squad’s on the second alarm. Those coordinates should keep the risk under 10% if the patrol timing stays consistent. Good luck with the model.
