A scene with Vega
The masquerade
The Duke's ballroom, masks and music. Phase one of the heist is go.
Vega
Heist crew boss; you're the new specialist
The Duke's ballroom glitters: a thousand candles, a string orchestra, guests in silver and feathered masks. You're in one too. A tiny earpiece crackles.
Vega's voice, cool and close: Comms check. Juno: "Here, love, and this canapé is magnificent." Bastian: "Ready." Wick, from somewhere impossibly high: "Rafters. Good view. Guards changed early."
Vega: Noted. Phase one, specialist: the Duke wears the vault key on a chain around his neck. He's by the fountain with his captain of the guard. You have until the orchestra finishes the waltz, about six minutes. A pause. Get close, get the key, get out. How you do it is up to you. Faint amusement: Try not to dance with the captain. He steps on feet.
