Battleship Harlow, Armed Forces Headquarters
Office of the Fleet Admiral

Scarecrow, along with Grim and Hesh, was outside of the Armed Forces Headquarters, briefing themselves one last time on their assignment. The office would be empty, no problems expected there. The tools were all ready, the only problem would be getting into the office, there would surely be more than one person to get passed. They each nodded once and then turned towards the main entrance, Scarecrow leading the way, tailed by the other two. Getting passed initial security checkpoints was the easy part, they were authorized to most areas of the building, though from the point of getting into the Armed Forces main offices, of the Admirals and the Fleet Admiral, that is where the real challenge laid dormant.

They moved through the corridors of the building fast-paced, not seeking contact with anyone, physical or vocal. Some of the employee's gave them funny looks, others were more curious as they looked after the three men that went straight for the Office. One last hurdle stood between Scarecrow and his objective - the Admirals Secretary. A single nod towards Grim and he quickly moved passed the other two, who casually engaged in conversation outside the office doors, leaning against the walls near it while people moved passed. Grim leaned onto the desk of the Secretary and began to flirt with her, who unknowingly fell right into the lure of Grim's Charm. He would have to keep her occupied for long enough so that Scarecrow and Hesh may infiltrate the Admirals office and acquire what they came for, though with the Woman's gullibility, that wouldn't be hard.

A quick look over his shoulders, to Grim and then to the doorknob. Hesh was trained in picking locks, and this one was more than easy, almost pathetically so, not fit for an Admirals office. None the less, they'd gained entry, slipped inside and closed the door behind them, without the distracted secretary or anyone else noticing. Perfect, just what they needed. Soft screeching as the wheels of the chair turn while it is pushed back from the desk, Scarecrow sits down on it, turns on the computer and plug in their flashing device to the provided plug. The screen flashed up once and the machine came to life, booting up right off of their device, as planned. The Admirals password had to have been long, as their program took a few minutes, but it was not too long before a quiet -DING- was heard and the desktop unlocked. "Bingo - We're in.", he exclaimed while Hesh stood watch.

It only took seconds more for him to browse through the data that the Admiral had. He did not care for reports, pay raises, promotions or any of the sort, he only required one thing - Access to the servers. Another password, another hurdle to jump. The team was practiced in the arts - besides, they were Intelligence Operatives after all, for them this was just another job. The desired files were located and downloaded onto an external storage device before this was then unplugged and disappeared into the pocket of his jacket. Traces of their presence were easily erased, the transfer log dissolved into thin air and the chair rolled back under the desk while the machine powered down. Easy enough getting here, now just to get out. The door creaked open and Hesh threw a view down towards the secretaries desk, who was still flirting happily with Grim. The two men slipped out of the office, the door fell into lock behind them and they looked down the hallway left and right, shrugged slightly and began to walk towards the exit, only tapping Grims shoulder gently while passing him as a sign that they were done. Grim said goodbye to the lady and was on their tail in no time, exiting the Headquarters through the same door they came in, Scarecrow's lips curled in a grin as he looked at the other two. "We're done here, split and meet back at HQ." Before anyone of them could answer, Scarecrow took off and disappeared into the corridors in front of them, while the other two split to separate directions towards the hangars.
