The Gate of Babylon International Hotel and Casino... Located on an artificial Island in the Mediterranean. It is a luxery resort for the richest and most powerful people to blow their money on cheap thrills...
Which gives you all the more reason to rob it blind. It's taken weeks of preparation, but you have maps, schematics, and all the pieces are in place to make the elitist snobs of this world take notice of a new check and balance to make them live in fear.

Professor Moriarty
Helena Moriarty had spent the aforementioned weeks to screen the guests list for the day of her robbery to take note of all the most important and noticeable individuals, and of any potential threat to her plan. In addition, she had thoroughly studied the casino and hotel's regulations in terms of security and policies regarding their guests and the storage of their money and belongings, in order to know where best to strike in order to make it out with the most valuable gains.
She had learned everything she could about the casino and hotel's staff, looking for any weakness(es) to exploit, any potentially corruptible, or blackmail-susceptible members of the personel whom she could use to her advantage to grant her access to wherever she needed to go, and ease whatever she had to do. Given how only the wealthy and powerful could make it in there, she would have to get her hands dirty this time, since it wasn't like she could just send any regular mook in such a place. OOC: Essentially, she would have spent as many stones as possible in Technology (for example, hacking into the hotel and casino's databases for additional info), used her network of informants related to high society to learn everything she could about their security and where the guests/casino usually store away the goods, and the results of said research to identify possible vulnerable staff members to manipulate to her advantage if at all possible.
Just so she has a good idea going in of precisely what she's going to do, if she has potential 'allies' (willing or not) going in, and the best and fastest means and path to make it to her goal.

You learn the location and size of the vault, and it's contents several billion in cash, gold, and valuables. You've also bribed, and blackmailed a dozen security guards to keep themselves and others away from the Vault.
There's still a bunch of security cameras to get past. To say nothing of how you are gonna get all that out of the vault.

Given the success of her blackmailing attempts to get as many guards on her side as she could, she also made arrangements to have some of them be manning the security cameras feed room so she would be able to access them without a fuss, the idea being that she would erase any trace of her arrival there, and create and set up a loop in already existing footage to explain 'why the guards saw nothing', along with planting traces of hacking from an external source as opposed to internal.
Given the casino and hotel location on an island, the next step was verifying what means the two businesses were using to bring supplies to their location. Helicopters being the most likely as far as she could tell, given the large funds involved; with boats a possible close second. She verified if it would be possible to also blackmail/buy such a transport's crew, one of them to leave their place to her (disguised appropriately, of course), the other(s) to cooperate with the crime by both taking care of the planned delivery like nothing was the matter - and incidentally, serve as both the way in, and out, of the island - and assist her in loading secure containers with the fortune they would get away with quickly, and bring them back to the transport in question, within the weight limitations for the type of aircraft or ship they were using - as it was useless to bring so much that the transport wouldn't make it back.
Finally, she checked for the most sensitive area to cause a fairly heavy distraction, be it a fire, an explosion or some similar degree of trouble, well away from the vault's location if possible, a task she would leave to one of the bribed security guards if possible, or do herself if it was more convenient. The idea being, of course, to buy enough time and draw the other members of the staff's attention away long enough for her to be well on her way back to her own waiting vehicle to transfer the containers in and return home peacefully after her successful robbery, with no one the wiser. OOC: There you have it. Given what she knows, I think this is about the best plan I could come up with without actually roleplaying the 'several weeks' of preparation in more than a few panels, lol. Still, I think it's pretty solid.
Again, she would have spent stones as necessary in appropriate actions to attain the aforementioned results, namely Technology (about 19 stones), Criminal Mastermind (18), Psychiatry (Manipulate others; about 20), and using her Network of Informants or hacking via the aforementioned technology stones to obtain the info she needed as to how the supplies are delivered to the island.
And with that, I think she has what she needs to begin the robbery proper. Finishing touches would be spending 18 in Criminal Mastermind (Disguise) to appear as close as possible like the delivery guy/girl who's she's replacing, along with getting any papers required from the person in question to be able to do her job properly (in case some I.D card is required at the hotel/casino or something), and using one day and a half to spend 39 stones in Inventing to create the following:
-Knockout Gas Spray (+3, Atk VS Durability, Causes no actual damage, Disables if any damage occurs, Range 1. Comes with 2 charges, recharged via small gas canister. Appears as a palm-sized breath spray for concealment purposes.)
...Along with a few additional canisters.

The transport was mostly by boat. The artificial island being too far offshore for choppers to safely deliver supplies. In the event of medical emergency the island is staffed by a fully resourced hospital. Given it's important, and proximity away from the Casino it was a prime target for an arson or bombing.
You manage to buy your way onto one of the ships it's captain, and crew either working for you now or replaced with underlings as needed. The basic plan is simple... Posing as delivery men you and your crew will sneak into the vault, load the contents out onto a truck, drive back into the cargo ship, and sail away before anyone knows what's going on. Simple... Right?

(OOC: Foreshadowing. XD By the way, has she managed to get one or two of her underlings to handle the arson at the hospital themselves? Because if so, the first paragraph below would be her instructions for it. If not, please ignore it and I'll replace/erase it.)
Professor Moriarty
"Simple. You get in there, blend in, wait fifteen minutes, then you set the place on fire - at a fairly safe location with few people and good chances of successful evacuation, mind you. I want a distraction, not a human barbecue", she instructed to the men in charge of the distraction. "This will coincide more or less with the time I finish setting the security camera feed loop, so we can proceed with emptying the vault while employees take care of the fire. And then you hurry up and meet us back at the ship, and help the crew still on-board getting things ready for the getaway when we return with the spoils."
She then smirked. "Any questions? ...If not, step on it. We have a delivery, and a massive withdrawal, to make."

(Yes)
You take off for the back of the casino as sure enough you see emergency personel heading towards the hospital.

"Come on... delivery time", the 'delivery guy' Moriarty said, as she helped her men with the initial delivery... before sneaking away to the security camera feed room as planned. 2 in Strength to help my men out with bringing in the delivery as normal... until I sneak away with...
12 (Ef) in Criminal Mastermind (Stealth) to sneak out to the security camera feed room to make some 'adjustments'.

You make it to the Camera room with no problems.

Professor Moriarty
The redhead made her way to the console controlling the system, smirking to herself as her fingers danced on the keyboard.
"Now for my next trick..." she said, as she proceeded to hack into the system to create a video loop of the last ten minutes on all cameras, as well as to leave traces of external interference as opposed to actual, internal hacking. 15 in Technology, +4 from Genius to do so, 19 in total.

You edit and loop the footage with ease when.
"Ahem... What are you doing with my security camera, you mongrel?" A woman's voice asks as you spin around to face a blonde woman with red eyes wearing a black evening gown, and heels.

Professor Moriarty
Moriarty managed to keep herself from gasping in surprise as she turned around, disguised as a man with black hair and a moustache, and using a lower tone voice to respond as naturally as she could.
"...What I'm doing? ...Well, watching the screen, naturally. Phil asked me to keep an eye on it while he checked what the ruckus over at the hospital was all about", she said, using the name of one of the security employees she had bought off for this. "I tried telling him I didn't really know how this stuff worked, but he seemed in an awful hurry", she insisted. 12 in Psychiatry (Bluff/Lie, Impersonate others) to try and get out of this mess.

"Oh... I see. Carry on then." She said before leaving.

"With pleasure", the diguised criminal said with a neutral tone concealing her relief. She had been taken by surprise. Luckily it seemed her distraction was convincing enough to make her lie convincing enough even to that woman.
"No time to waste then", she said to herself as she stepped out of the room. "Someone with actual knowledge of those machines should really take my place", she said to her nearest bought security agent in case the woman was still close by, while taking a moment to check said woman's current location if she was, indeed, still around. 10 in Psychiatry to keep up the act.
5 in Intelligence to verify if she's still around.

You look around, but find no trace of her.
