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!

DAN,
  THE JUBILEE IS A VERY HIGHLY PROTECTED DIAMOND. IN ORDER TO DO A HIEST OF THIS SORT, YOU WILL NEED AS MUCH HELP AS POSSIBLE. YOU ONLY NEED A STRONG TEAM. WE'RE CAHILLS. WE CAN DO ANYTHING TOGETHER. WE NEED SOME EKATS TO TAKE CARE OF THE TECH STUFF, LIKE CCTVS. AND YOU NEED DISGUISES.

  FIRST, I SUGGEST A RENDEZVOUS OF THE MUSEUM WHERE IT IS LOCATED. WE NEED SOME LUCIAN CONECTIONS FOR THAT. HAMILTON CAN DISGUISE HIMSELF AS A SECURITY GUARD AT THE MUSEUM, SO SOME FAKE CREDENTIALS TO GET HIM IN. WE NEED A FAKE DIAMOND, POSSIBLY FROM CUBIC ZIRCONIUM, SINCE IT IS USUALLY USED, AND WE NEED A PLAN TO EXECUTE THE HIEST AND SWITCH THE REAL WITH A FAKE.
  BEST OF LUCK, AND HOPE ALL HOSTAGES ARE RESCUED SOON!
TILL LATER,

So all you have to do is go to those guards. Knock them out with some awesome gas from your Kabra buddies. Then when the time is right you go: sssssssssss, and every security gurad gets knocked out and then you take the jewel away. And run. And then give it to your friends Vespy Uno.Right Answer

the vesper enforcer person is looking for the jubilie diamond, which is currently in the hands of  Bhumibol Adulyadej (king of Thailand), I suggest that you use the madrigal helicopter to get to the Thai royal palace and to sneak past any security in the air and on the ground, then use the ekat HALO parachute technique to get on top of the roof, lastly find a sunroof to climb through and sue a map to get to the crown jewels room where the jewel is hiding. Lastly use the robot spider to get past any and all lazers, or just walk through if there are no lazers... the rest is a bit tricky without knowing what the case looks like.

P.S. the diamond is a golden color, with no curse, and it has possibilities of being shown as a royal significance object (it could be on a scepter.)

Hi Dan,

            They say that the hope diamond is "the eye" and that there is another one that goes with the hope diamond. Once the other is found you can steal the hope diamond. Once they are connected, it turns the diamond to one again and send it to vesper one. As for actually stealing it, it is in one of the smithsonian instatutes. Have Atticuss distract the people and the gaurds. If it is bullet proof glass, I bet it is not shatter proof. Sing a really high note to get just the right frequency to make it shatter grab the hope diamond and conceal it carefully. Then get the heck out of there and find new disguises.

I doubt there's a curse.  But I'd try someone dressing up like security, mess up the cameras like when you guys took the Medusa, and see if Sinead has any contacts for seeing trip wires.  Oh, and why do I get the feeling you're looking mroe and more like Hamilton?

Hi..
How to steal a diamond... I got a few ideas not that good but might work.
 Get some type of distraction for the guards( that is important)
One other thing is important... you'll have to be in some type of costume to make them think your someone else in
case the guard sees you. Make sure the costume is real good. You'll also need to switch off the security camera system,
and
 the guards must have a long lasting distraction. Other than that I have no better ideas. I'll think about this.
And don't worry about the curses just think about ways to get the diamond.

Hmm... Dan, you should't worry about curses whatever the jewel is unless it's hidden in a tomb, with a long history of curses and or/ proof of it being true.

Dan,

I don't know the exact jewel you need to steal but I do know what kind of jewel you need to steal. The jewel is called a cubic zirconia. I also found out a couple of facts about this type of jewel. I thought you & Amy might want too look at:

Sparkles brighter than crystal, harder than most gems making it durable Cubic zirconia  is a synthetic gemstone that very closely  resembles diamonds. Through a series of experiments  by germen and  soviet scientists, zirconium oxide and yttrium oxide  were eventually melted together at temperatures reaching 4,982 degrees farenheight  to grow cubic zirconia laboratory. Crystalline, flawless. Usually colorless but can be made in nearly any color   Weighs about 65% more than diamond.


By the way the recreating the serum thing is sort of a good idea. But when you finish recreating it I would leave it as like a last resort kind of thing.

It depends on the jewel and the place that it's kept, but you should definately have a lockpick set, for apparent reasons. A mirrir might be useful too, that way you can see around the corners without having to reveal yourself to any guards that might be there. Also, you might need ink or some other liquid like it to cover the security cameras. Again these are very general terms, it all depends on the what and where.

Dan, I really think you need to get Ian. Have you seen the MB recently? Also, the Jubilee Diamond has no curse, but a ton of family history. I would recommend casing the joint first. Then we know what we're dealing with. Only formulate a plan after that. For further needs, just ask.

Okay, I did my research, and I found the top five jewel curses. According to Divine Caroline (don't ask. The research brought me there.), the top five curses in order are; 1) The Hope Diamond. The Hope Diamond is believed to bring bad luck to whomever has it. Possible death is likely. Currently found in the Smithsonian. 2) The Koh-i-Noor Diamond. It recieved its name from its captors exclamation while seeing it. Brings bad luck to males, but not females. Amy better handle this one, Dan. It is currently found on the Coronation Crown of the Queen Consorts. 3) The Black Prince's Ruby. I don't know much about this curse, but it has left much bloodshed in its wake. Currently found on the Imperial State Crown, worn by the Monarch at the COronation and the Opening of Parliament each year. It is on display in the Tower of London. 4) The Delhi Purple Sapphire. It is actually an amethyst, set in a silver bezel. Thought to have been looted from the Temple of Indra, who is the Hindu god of war and weather, the gem is said to bring death and paranoia to loved ones of the owner. It is currently found on the Natural History Museum. The fifth one is only a pearl, so I don't think you need to worry about that one.

I think that you will have no prob with the curse. I mean since you are a cahill and you are already cursed and the diamond is cursed woundn't that cancel the curse out?

If the jewel that you're looking for is in a museum, I suggest that you go in at opening time dressed as tourists to see if you can find any security flaws like places where there are no cameras. Then, as you're leaving, you could find someone who works there and try to ask a few questions that might help you in the heist without them noticing it like if there have ever been any break-ins before. (I bet you could word thet question way better.) Then, if you get any good information from the worker or found something while you were looking for flaws, use that. If you don't find anything, look at the other replies.

Wow... This is so simple. Report to your atterboro HQ command headquarters and tell sinead to invent a stealth suit that sends out electromagnetic waves to confuse the sensors and destroy the laser source with the help of a fog gun. You could then shoot out the security camera to distract the guard OR you can find the power box to freeze the image of no one approching the diamond. to counter act the curse, wear video glasses so the diamond will be changed in to a teddy bear. See? All Done. Now you can't give the diamond to Vesper 1 to complete his " Plan to crush the cahills" which is impossible because WE are the strongest family and group EVER

I don't have any ideas on what the jewel is or where it is, but I would suggest--after you find where and what it is--a decoy theft. See if there is any other possible item to be stolen at the location of the jewel. Have one group make a big hubbub about stealing it; meanwhile, you go in discretely and nab the jewel. Something big would probably work for the phoney theft. I also suggest using plenty of explosives for the fake heist ,while using more clandestine tech for the jewel theft.
