The bodyguards are respectful and part of the background, you can see that one eats while the other is more watchful. One seems to get a look on his face and pulls out a electronic device from his pocket. uses it for a moment and than looks in the sky.

He obviously comms the other guard who looks up.

Following their direction you can pick out a drone that camoflauges very well with the sky, which half circles and heads over the parking lot and west.

The guards seem unimpressed.

Reyna
"All right, please leave your glasses here, you can bring your muffins if you like lets go on the tour."

Heading around the parking lot and north east towards the top mini house she starts to explain the grapes in this area. She does a slow pace and slows a couple times. There is a stop at the first Tiny house where she explains each house is designed after the five seasons of Rijkwereld; Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Second Spring.

"The designer took into account not only colors but angles of the sun. Remember all 5 are available for rent for tonight."

Garett walks with Hiro, pointing out mundane details that catch her eye. Meanwhile, she looks for security cameras, guard posts, and anything else that might be helpful later. She doesn't mention any of these out loud, though.

Monte savours the wine, and discusses it with his companions, comparing it to other fine wines he has enjoyed. Regardless of its actual quality, he neither over-praises nor condemns it, but place it among notable peers.

The killing of the “Varmint” genuinely piques his interest. Given the opportunity, he asks the guide about the local wildlife and environment. He actually is interested in what the local flora, fauna, weather and terrain are. He is used to being the bore in the group on these subjects.

The Shepard will join in as this is a classic area of eccentricity!

Reyna

"We get many questions about our bots, let me call two of them.

She fiddles with her tablet.

Two flying bots appear out of the vines and head to Reyna.

She turns left. "This is a tender, see its manipulators are covered in plastic to not damage the vines. its connected to our data bank and has a wide array of growing and tending sensors on it and it can be loaded with anything from anti-fungal to biopsy equipment, our technicians do what's need for the day and send them out."

She turns right.

"This is a varmint killer, it has motion and minor subterranean sensors as well as an operator can see out of it and take over of course. It has non lethal options like noises and irrigation sprays to ask out local wildlife, usually the Rugga to leave."

A child askes what a Rugga is.

"A small burrowing animal that eats the vines and grapes.

She gets a smile on her face.

"If it has to, it carries a compressed air tank capable of firing a expanding dart. Than will take the poor animal over for burial. There is hardwired limiters on the computer to not even look at anything over like 15 kilos that is acting like a burrower, also a controller has to give the ok to shoot just in case.

She fiddles with the tablet.

"Shall we head to Summer?

She brings you to the second area north.

There is the sound of a sharp air pressure release which triggers the guards. Reyna explains that's one of our bots keeping one of the local varmints out of our fields.

Hiro takes pictures of both bots, but makes sure to include a closeups of the weapon on the Varmant Killer.

As the tour guide induicates the seasonally-themed buildings, Hiro takes a 360 degree panorama, making a point of capturing any bots currently active, so that he can latter try to get count pf how many were active at that moment.

Hiro tries records the electromagnetic spectrum during the bot demonstration, hoping that using that the crew will be able to determine the radio bands and protocol used to communicate top the bots. hiro also takes video of the bot demonstation, moving about to insure he captures the screen of the guides tablet.

Garett follows suit, taking videos of the area as they move along.

Nevyn chats with the guide's assistant asking their name, and about legal requirements for marriage records, guest's security team liaison arrangements with the local team and nearby law enforcement, arrangements for inside and external catering - including staffing numbers considered adequate for various numbers of guests, arrangements for movements of aircraft needed for honoured guests and parking and loading for more humble personages and staff.

He also checks on the rumours that there have been extortion attempts by criminal gangs - pay or we ruin your day type stuff - and whether the in-place arrangements are adequate to secure against such things. He'll ask about arrangements with local sources of supply for printing of formal place-cards, supply of blooms and paraphernalia. Who is their planning agent? He'll also talk about non-disclosure contracts for the staff and owners should those he represents choose the venue - and how the place deals with the gossip columnists (invited or uninvited).

And finally, he'll enquire if the assistant is enjoying their role, and where (nearby) the staff brought in by the principals might find to relax away from the prying eyes of the management.

Gunnar Thuarssen

"About that, are there any restrictions about off-world sourcing for anything?" Gunnar casually looks about they move to the next building, noting any staff or drone movement.

You have good quality pictures, the weapon looks like a air pressure weapon.

As the tour guide indicates the seasonally-themed buildings, Hiro takes a 360 degree panorama, making a point of capturing any bots currently active, so that he can latter try to get count of how many were active at that moment.

Garett also catches panoramas.

At this moment in your area, there appears to be about 6 bots working, at least 4 are the workers.

Hiro tries records the electromagnetic spectrum during the bot demonstration, hoping that using that the crew will be able to determine the radio bands and protocol used to communicate top the bots. Hiro also takes video of the bot demonstration, moving about to insure he captures the screen of the guides tablet.

You are able to catch there there are 2 bands used you are pretty sure one goes to the bots and one originates from the bots, it is encrypted, no idea how. From what you see, the bots are ID for a task by Number and Password.

Reyna seems not to notice anything.

"I am Jean, i'm fairly new and supposed to be learning the route, but we don't have anything to do with marriage documents, that requirement is on you. No guest weapons are allowed at the winery and we use a single catering company. We can host a group of 350 people.

Gunnar

"About that, are there any restrictions about off-world sourcing for anything?"

"you would have to ask the catering company."

Nevyn

He also checks on the rumours that there have been extortion attempts by criminal gangs - pay or we ruin your day type stuff - and whether the in-place arrangements are adequate to secure against such things.

"I don't know anything about that."

He'll also talk about non-disclosure contracts for the staff and owners should those he represents choose the venue - and how the place deals with the gossip columnists (invited or uninvited).

She swipes you the name and comm code of the lead for what you ask.

And finally, he'll enquire if the assistant is enjoying their role, and where (nearby) the staff brought in by the principals might find to relax away from the prying eyes of the management.

"I'm not sure what you mean, but I love this so far."

You arrive at Summer

Reyna

"Oh look they left out a few bottles of our wine yellow sunshine and frozen fruit. Let me show you.

She takes a glass off the stack and puts in a few frozen grapes and pours a half glass on top.

"See, no water diluting the wine. Please have a glass.

Hiro: The inside of the house is outfitted similar to your room form before.

The area is beautiful, there is a small vegetable garden and small porch with 2 swing chairs.

Actions?

Garett takes a wineglass and samples the vintage.

[cybersavant]

Gunnar Thunarssen does not take wine, but he does look around - inside and outside, to see what activity is near, where on the property they are, how far from the border, etc, and if there are any bots or guards milling about anywhere. Very picturesque. Maintenance must be quite involved. Do you reserve time between events, or is it done at night?"

[The Bindoner]

Monte

You only allow a single caterer? Perhaps that is negotiable. We are planning a special day, after all, and perhaps your contractor can’t provide the menu we’d want.

What about the other services? We will need to bring a band. And a magician, to do table tricks.

I’m concerned about security, too. Of course, no weapons for guests, but I don’t like the idea of trusting someone else’s security team. What garuantee do you give that we’ll be safe? From paparazzos with long lenses in the trees, and camera drones, for example? Camera drones are a real headache, you need specialists to deal with those.

>>>>>>>>>>>

At Summer, Monte takes the glass and sips.

Nice touch, the frozen fruit. Very good idea.

Turning to the others: It’s details like that that set a place above others, isn’t it?

Hiro prepares his glass with a frozen grape, just as demonstrated. As he sips on his wine, he wanders a bit, looking over the fields, noting which buildings the tour seems to be including, and which are being skipped. Wandering to peer inside the building,Summer, Hiro looks casually and unimpressed, hiding the fact that he looks carefully for any panels for controlling the utilities (such a climate control or lighting), computer workstations, or hardwired networking access ports (used for both computer workstations and embedded controllers, like thermostats). Standing to one side, Hiro messages the crew, using his hand computer, sharing whatever he noticed about the electronics inside Summer, asking Team Recon to attempt to access the facilities computer network, if possible, trying to identify high security areas, while Team Talk should distract the employees form Team Recon, and try to find out the functions of the other buildings, in particular looking to rule out which buildings would NOT have my sister's office or private quarters.

Hiro takes a position near Rayna, on the exterior of her, so if she faces Hiro her back will be facing the interior and the members of Team Recon.

Doing his best to seem disappointed, Hiro asks Rayna "Is that really it? Are all of these buildings similar to these? I mean, they are nice enough, I guess. I was just expecting...I mean, hoping, we would see something with more artistry. Something with a sincere cachet of authenticity. Something truly primal. You know what I mean?"

There are two slots for a hardwired network, a Thermo control and lighting panel

Team Recon may attempt and hacking they wish with computer or other rolls.

The Owners house is north on the map in the woods north of the landing strip.

Reyna
"You mean the overnight small houses? They are more for the area effect than any arts effect. If I understand what you were saying. There is some art and wall paintings in the main testing room. We are going there after we review the large outdoor events area."
