That is an entertaining piece of writing Doctor Malsyn.

I thought we were already in the city the rig is off the shore of. I might have gotten mixed up with our teleports, thinking we established a forward base.

In any case we won't be able to teleport directly onto the rig without Cognagion, who was going to be separated from us the moment Mike's body died. We would have to transport the equipment onto the rig ourselves. Traveling isn't such an issue given Garald's speed, but carrying supplies isn't stealthy. Sending the supplies ahead of us also allows the work to begin before we even get there. Garald can't help Kaito speed things up because he lacks the skill to assist with anything technical.

Kaito would end up busy doing tedious mundane work that I don't think he needs to. The character also is not a good liar, nor is he stealthy. Infiltration work isn't something I see him suited for even if he has a uniform and fake ID. I'm not going to press the issue if you want Kaito to handle it all himself though. There is the advantage of his being present to ply his technical expertise if anything relevant comes up.

The body switching bit was well written. Detail is always good for a story.

As for location, you are still in Dallas as your base. It's completely possible you teleported supplies to New Orleans area before Cognagion changed bodies

Either way. I was originally thinking a mysterious shipment to an oil rig would draw too much attention and Kaito started a many hour project before doing the hacking needed to arrange that - this is all so last minute. But if we're willing to hand wave that away... the only other thing Kaito would point out is that his Gas form can't go under the water. Even as human he doesn't need to breath though (go go Horseman power) assuming Garald is transporting them under the water to avoid detection.

Pushing it all under the water is one option definitely if the water proofing is explained and I'll allow for the supplies to be in some waterfront warehouse as the drop would take only a few minutes max with the ring.

Well heck, they sell water tight boxes and bags at any sports store or K-mart near any waterfront that boating is common done at. The cameras and gear are, by design, small and concealable. Even a lot of them wouldn't take up that much room. Kaito's tablets to coordinate everything and the wifi gear for a strong network would be another bag. We're looking at two large backpacks in total and we can totally get water-sealed ones.

The stats look fine. I'll trust you'll know his defenses.

Yep, I've already adjusted them. He's not as tough in this body due to lacking armor, and physical constitution.

I just had an idea, and I wonder if it might just be so dumb and simple it could work. When Roger is due to welcome the VIPs, he could try to just slip the bracelet off our target's wrists using Sleight of Hand (and probably a lot of luck). What do you two think?

The bracelet is supposedly on his fellow employee, Leon. Not on a VIP.

Hmm... Would I know where he was then, in that case?

The VIPs are various world government officials. The three employees mentioned are the start employees of the rig.

The rig isn't that big, so Roger could find him easy enough and try your idea with just Roger there. I won't comment on the wisdom of it here though.

I mentioned it could be stupid, which is why I wa ted to know what my fellow players thought of it first.
