Guard Locations (10/15)
• External - 2 patrol the fence
• Ground Floor - 1 in Guard Room (Area 2)
• Ground Floor - 1 in Basillisk Lair (Area 3)
• Ground Floor - 1 in Cockatrice Lair (Area 5)
• Ground Floor - 2 in Rear Entrance (Area 6)
• 28th Floor - 2 in Elevator Core (Area 1)
• 28th Floor - 1 in Security Centre (Area 11)

Note - by the book there should only by 15 people with 16 beds and 10 people on shift at anyone time. It means the staff each get 8 hrs rest, then are on station for 16 hrs straight. This is not good for security so I expect there are another 15 members on staff allowing for 8 hour rotation on station, 8 hours on call and 8 hours sleeping.

Defenses
• Pressure Senses - External Fence
• Cameras - All Floors
• Servogun - Ground and 28th Floors
• Basillisk - Ground Floor (Area 3)
• Cockatrice - Ground Floor (Area 5)

Interior walls and doors are Normal Contruction Plastic (Barrier Rating 4).

Security cameras are present on all floors. In addition, sevoguns have been installed at specific locations on the ground floor and 28th floor. These automated shotguns can be taken over if the decker is in one of the appropriate nodes in the Taetzel Building computer. (see Rules for stats).

The grounds are surrounded by a three metre high, chainlink fence. The fence is guarded by pressure sensors that will alert the security centre on the 28th floor if anyone tries to climb or cut the fence. These sensors can be spotted by making a Difficult (4) check, and shut down with a Computers - Hacking Impossible (6) check.

Two agents patrol the perimeter, taking 15 minutes to complete a circuit of the grounds.
