Hernando decides to break the seal to open the container, but try to make as little damage as he can an then looks at the container.
"Mouse, now it is the time of the true, and let's see what all this was about"
 
Just as you open the door of the container you hear "Heads up!" on the headset Gremlin gave you.
Glancing around quickly you see a man holding a datapad followed by another driving a heavy duty forklift heading your direction.

And you?
 
Nope ... it's a standard 20x40 foot shipping container and FULL of cardboard boxes ... no room to get inside.
 
Mouse does the same and everyone holds their breath for a couple minutes as the forklift goes to another part of the rack and removes a shipping container. Then it and the guy with the datapad head back to where the containers are being unloaded.

Back to work?
By-the-way ... did you bother to note the box # of the box you're looking for when you were given this job?
If not ... that's a LOT of boxes to open and search.
 
OOC: The niece of Mr Mob had given that info in a datapad, so I presume that I saved that info at the time (since it was Hernando and Mouse who had to actually find it)

Hernando sights to Mouse and makes a sign to return to the job without a sound. He open the container again and starts looking for the right box.

He curses when he sees all those boxes, because even knowing the right one, means he has to read the Id of each one before finding it. For a moment he remembers the meat balls but then he stops irritated: he must concentrate himself or he risks committing a mistake now, and that would be really stupid so near the end of the job.

(( That she did, glad you were paying attention. A warning to yourself and possible future players, as an evil GM I love dropping critical info during one part of a scenario then using it during another. Nothing more fun then watching players get mad when it's their own fault! ))

Assuming Hernando and Mouse take care not to scatter boxes all over the place in plain sight while they are searching you eventually come across the correct box in the third layer (of probably15-20) and gleefully ... ummm ... open it? Ahhh ... how are you going to reseal it afterwards? Wait ... didn't you see some packing tape back where you were scanning datapads? Do you want to get it yourself, send Mouse, or ask Gremiln/Chita to go get it?
 
The instructions were clear: to get a specific package from the box (and only that one) . So it's what Hernando will do, recover it and ignore all the others: it's his first serious mission and he don't want to screw it. Hernando get it and try to arrange the others package so nobody notices that one is missing: then he closes the box and the container and makes a sign to Mouse so they leave the place.
 
Mouse sees Hernando preparing to take the entire box and speaks up.

"Weren't we suppose to get something out of the box? If we take the whole thing it'll be missing from the container inventory ... isn't that a problem?"
 
(( Sorry ... I wasn't totally sure if that was your intent from the way it was phrased. Getting the tape to reseal the box after you get the package out? ))

Inside the box you find the "package". It's not terribly large (apx. 30x20cm) or heavy (maybe 2kg max) and in its' own BubbleWrap (even 2077 can't improve on that stuff!) so you're not entirely sure what's inside. Unless you plan to open it?
 
Nope.
But it's fairly light (for it's size) and in bubble wrap so it's probably at least semi-fragile ... which you may want to take into account as you transport it.

And with that you hear the forklift coming back your way ... oh ... and a "Heads Up" from Gremlin on your comm ...

Hernando takes the package, closes the box and hide himself until the guys pass.
"Why don't they go take a beer instead of returning here?"- thinks Hernando
 
And pass they ... almost ... do ...
The forklift stops almost right next to you and the guy with the datapad walks over to it.

"Got a light?" As he pulls out a smoke.
The driver reaches in his pocket and pulls out a lighter then tosses it to Mr Datapad.

You're in the shadows, if they'd just passed by you'd probably be fine .. but stopped directly below you and probably glancing around as they take a break you're not sure you're that well hidden.
So you'll ?
 
Hernando will continues frozen, since any movement, any noise could give his position. But he will pay attention to see if they notice him.
