How to steal a famous jewel

Okay, dudes, now that we know WHAT the jewel could be, we need your help figuring out HOW to get our hands on it. It’s going to be heavily guarded, wherever it is.   Some of the jewels you mentioned have been stolen before. Can you find out a little bit about those thefts? Like, do we need to go buy grappling hooks or invest in some nanotechno electronics? And should we be worried about curses, like the one supposedly on the Hope Diamond?  

Anything you come up with could help us out!

Actually that first reply might be on to something! distract the gaurds in the security office, or knock them out, and disable the security! then do the same to the guards with the gemLucian KeySaladin LeagueMadrigalLucian Snake 

let it rip (the vespers pants anyway) ;) 

vespers beware we,ll give you a scare

Dan, I think you should use your ninja moves on the guards so you can get past them. Then you could try to mess with the security cameras. But I wouldn't worry about any curses or something like that, those are just myths.

Ok every famous jewel in the world is guarded to in insane level. So i got nothing. But on the curse part i may have something. The curse depends on which stone your dealing with. so what ever stone you have to get it may be cursed like the hope diamond or it could be completley harmless. And im guessing it will be.....but i make no promisses...

Why not get an invisibility or camo cloak from ekats? Sure they would give you one, after all, they DO have a member being held hostage.Besides, with braniacs like them, their bound to have one.

Seriously? It's as easy as picking up my little sis from school. Although, it will be a bit difficult to get past all of the guards and cameras. Here's what your going to need: (Small building) bomb, rocks, mist machine, sleeping gas or pepper spray, gymnast, gloves, laser; (large building) grappling hook, climbing tools, harness, rope, rocks, sleeping gas or pepper spray, mist machine, gloves, laser. I believe that is it. As for the curses, they don't exist! *Cough, Cough* Only if you break into pharoh's tombs *Cough, Cough*. Oh, and by the way, MY SISTER HAS A CRUSH ON YOU! No joke.

I don't think u have to worry about curses because the Hope Diamond wasn't cursed it was just the Cahills messing with whoever owned it because they wanted the clue.

Maybe this suggestion is because I'm ekat, but go with nanotech, it can go into WAY more places to search then you guys can

I would say a big yes on the grappling hooks! But you're gonna need a glass cutter, and make sure to in dark clothes like a gray or black, don't forget the basics like a flashlight, and for your crazy 
" nanotech" stuff if you can have it so that any sercritity cameras can play back what they seen before all of us Cahills grab the Hope Diamond, and for the curse well curses aren't real but Vespers are it's sad but it's true so just watch yourself once we get the Hope Diamond!

instead of stealing them we should find them and protect them by being there security guard and if anyone trys to steal it(a.k.a.vespers) we would be ready with our top agents and back ups there already there is no need to steal or lie. when filling out info fill it in with your previos chilhood info before you became a agent. if there is anything bad just keep it out of the form.

The diamond is in berlin and the hope is around the world, and also, the jubilee is probably it since it is in berlin and vesper one sent a text message that said "get the jubilee for me" and "what better place to celebrate than berlin".

I'm Fiona  Cahill and you know he's trying to steal the Golden Jubilee Diamond, NOT the Hope Diamond. I hope that is clear to you. Anyway, Dan, I agree with you, you should drink that serum. But really, think. It's a good idea, but do you think the serum got perfected after Gideon Cahill gave everything to his children? You'll get sick, and AMY won't get sick but get suspisious. Then she's gonna yell at you. And you'll die after a while of strength. So become a great alcamest and perfect the serum and then take it. So I would stop for now.

HOW TO GET DA DIMOND!!!

step 1: act casual and pretend to look at something interesting. (you're actually looking a the presher sensor on the glass.)

step 2: when every one is gone, smash the glass so the alarm will go off. (make sure isn’t any where people could watching you. preferably on the other side of the building.)

step 3: tell the security guards that someone is braking in so they will investigate.

step 4: if there's a door, wait for the guards to run through then close it and lock it or block it so it will slow the guards down. (which will buy you some time.)

step 5: make sure you disarm all the security cameras so no one will see you.

meanwhile: the guards will investigate and find a Cahill (or any one you like) who will state that he\she was lost.

step 6: after you disarm the alarm in the room (including the presher sensor), break the glass and, wola, the diamond.

what happen if the guards won't investigate: if this does happen don't worry, all you have to do is disarm all the cameras and (DAN! YOU'LL LIKE THIS PART!) attack the guards! for a less violent (or boring) approach, you would use a sleeping dart or bomb (I bet someone could build something like that). 

REMEMBER! DISARM ALL THE SENSORS AND SECERETY BEFORE BRAKING THE GLASS OPEN! ALSO, MAKE SURE NO VESPER IS WATCHING YOU!

THIS MESSIGE WILL EXPLODE IN 9 SECONDS! (Now.... how to blow up messages for dummies............. hmmmmmm......)

ALL HAIL THE FRYING PAN ARMY!!!!

DAN IS 100% AWSOMENESS!!!!!

I LIKE PINEAPPLE!!!

LUKE! Use the fork!!

Give in to your dark cravings!

This will provide you with a chance to infiltrate the no longer secure building and take the Jubilee that V1 mentioned. Good luck (you'll need it) Ekat Key  Wink

The Hope Diamond curse isn't real. We learned about it when we went to D.C. A guy just made up the curse so it would be worth more money. So don't be worried its just a bunch of lies.

What? No. Why would I be daydreaming about cute, hansome, smart, heavenly-looking ian?

1. Get a job as a night time security guard at the museum it's displayed in.
2. Learn all the booby traps.
3. Swipe the shiney rock with an identical crystal.

(FYI: the last owner of the Hope Diamond mailed it to it's current location by regular mail.)

Just about the Hope Diamond-don't believe about it's "special powers". It's a diamond. Anyway, here are my ideas on how to steal the diamond:

PHASE ONE: Run from the guards. When they see you, make sure you'e armed with something. Knock them out. If there are lasers, try to find another way in. do you see where the lasers are? Try to break them off. that might set the alarm. If there is an alarm. knock more guards out. break the glass, grab the diamond, and RUN. 

PHASE TWO: EAT TEH GUARDS (jk) 

HIYAH! I wish I knew karate or fencing or something because I want to defend myself against the *gulp* vespers,  but apparently I don't. wahhhhhh!!!!!!
