"The keypad is... seems to be attached to the... to the wall," Charlie replies. "I don't think - I mean I can try - but I don't think I can just take it out."

Aliya keeps looking, and calls back over her shoulder, "If I can find the breaker box, we won't have to worry about it."

Lex looked blankly at Li, wondering if such an idea deigned a response. Then again of she didn't they might try it. 'You do realise if we disconnect it there's a high chance it will go off. And even if it doesn't typing the number in won't do anything if its not attached?' She directed at Li in her normal monotone.
Aliya at least was being sensible. Too sensible as it got rid of the plan where she used her powers.

Li Keqin's face draws a blank as he processes that logic slowly.
"Huh, I guess you're right."
Unperturbed by his own idiocy, Li Keqin goes back to giving Gideon little kisses. Gideon responds to the affection by biting his lips.

"Worst case scenario, Charlie, if you can get me in there, I can splice the line going out of the control box so that the loop stays closed even if we open every door and window in the whole goddamn place. We could even invite all the locals back and have a party" she adds dryly.

OOC:
Ok, did some checking (and maybe put myself on a watch list...hope that doesn't come back to haunt me... XD) You need to kill the phone and the power. There will be a delay, between 30 and 60 seconds. You all have enough training or personal experience that you can probably figure out where how to do that. There are no basements in this town because of the potential flooding. So the breaker is probably in the kitchen which makes up the back of the building. The phone line also seems to run to the back. If the phones and the power were cut, no one would know until morning.And if we want to retcon this so that you all knew this and moved to the kitchen window after seeing the keypad, that's fine too.

OOC:
I would say we don't have to retcon. Aliya can just find the important bits in the back.Apr 24, 2020 6:05 am
OOC:
Yeah. And I get the feeling this teams has no idea what the words 'plan' and 'organisation' mean, so just stumbling across it fits. Apr 24, 2020 7:22 am
You can hear Aliya talking in a low voice from the back of the building. "Looks like everything drops in from the back. Don't see a breaker box outside, so good on 'em for thinking of that. Cutting the phone line from out here is a piece of cake, but I'm afraid if I cut the main electrical line its gonna arc like a mother. I once saw an electrician working on a street light who messed up and cut into the line. Smoking shoes melted to the pavement with holes where the electricity grounded. The rest of him was in a pile about fifteen feet away. Just sayin'."

"That doesn't sound good", Charlie replies after following Aliya to the back. "What do we do then?"

Jack has been standing around impatiently while the rest talks through their options. He’s never been one for waiting or taking the careful way.
"Let’s just cut the fucking lines and get one with it!"
He takes out a small switch knife and moves over to the power lines.

Okay, so we’re saying that they would know how to do this, right?Apr 24, 2020 4:12 pm
Li Keqin looks at the others as Jack approaches the lines.
"Anyone want to bet on whether or not he can cut the lines safely? I bet 10 dollars that he's going to shock himself."

''I'll take that bet. Good old Hannibal knows how to use a knife. Wait till Violet can get someone inside to hit the breaker Hannibal.' She speaks the second part louder.
'So who wants the short straw? While she liked to feel, and new sensations fuelled her, she didn't feel up to a apportion accident today

OOC:
Why do we have to access the breaker box inside? I thought we just have to cut the cables out hereApr 24, 2020 5:40 pm
OOC:
Thought we had to hit the power and phone lines with 30-60 seconds of each other.Apr 24, 2020 6:25 pm
"Hey, Li. You got that metallowhatsis thing going. Think you can weaken the electrical line if I pull on it?" Aliya adjusts the fingerless leather gloves with reinforced knuckles she wears and uses a dumptser to vault up onto the roof of the building. "If we snap them at the weak point where they tie in to the transmission lines, any arcs should happen up there instead of where we are." She reaches down to where the lines attach to the structure and gives them a test tug to see how much slack they have.

Li Keqin yells at the rooftop.
"I mean, if you really want, I could just cut it using my power. As long as I can see it, I can do it."

"Oh, well, yeah. That works too." She clambers down from the roof and dusts off her jeans, feeling just a little bit stupid. "If you wanna do that, I’ll go work on the lock."
