Tonight’s auction was a lavish affair, the doors of the museum thrown open after hours to host a party of nobles, art collectors, connoisseurs, dealers, and appraisers: in truth, anyone with enough tonnes of gil still rolling around in the bank to spend on priceless works of art. Within the gleaming foyer and main exhibit hall of the museum, it was almost hard to remember that a struggling city waited outside: in here it was all champagne glasses, finery, aimless chatter, and visitors plucking up their bidding paddles. As for the thieves, they split into two groups: Miles and Ari swanned through the doors with invitations in hand, looking for all the world like a pair of haughty nobles, Damia striding behind them in the crisp uniform of a security guard. They prowled the main floor with the rest of the attendees, keeping an eye on the auctioneer and the proceedings. Meanwhile, in the back of the museum, two invisible women crept along accompanied by a machinist, watching the small camera feeds for all of them. They all stayed in touch through a jerry-rigged setup, messages hissed through communicators strapped discreetly to wrists. For this job, timing would be everything: wait until museum employees retrieved the painting from the vault; take them down and replace it with a forgery; addle their memory; cause a disturbance in the main room; escape, leaving the impression that nothing had been successfully taken, that some noble could then proceed to spend riches on a false painting. |
