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!

It's a pretty simple operation for the Cahills. Simply hack into the server of the place that holds the jewel. Put in that you are the nightshift and are athorrized to clean and steralize the jewel, or that you upping the security. When you "Shift" starts, siply slip the jewel away, after defuseing the security allready placed there, it woulds cause suspicion if you say you have to get rid of the old softwear or something, then use a grapple hook to get yourself out of there, escapeing unscathed.

I know this must be asked alot, but does Ian regret breaking Amy's heart?

Dan I do have a strategy, it's kind of risky but its still an option. You'll need full scematics of the building where the jewl is kept. Next you need knock out gas and lots of it, along with breathing masks, aerosal spray, ninja outfits, a glass cutter, super glue, and a really shiny rock. You use the scematics to break into the building through the air vent, then use the knock out gas to knock out any of the guards.the aresol spray will reveal any hidden sensor lazers which you will then use the ninja outfits to channel the physique of ancient ninja warlords to get through. Then you use the glass cutter to get the jewl out of its case. you then replace it with another shiny rock that looks incredibly similar. next you need to superglue the glass back together and get the heck out of there as fast as you can before more guards show up. It wouldn't be a bad idea to see if you could cut the security cameras and alarms.

Well, think about the Medusa. Was she highly protected? Yes. Did they exaggerate when they told you about the security? No. did you still steal it? why, yes, yes you did. Think about it one piece at a time.

Dan,

It' s the hope diamond.You need to stop the vespers. We are running out of time I have an idea about who vesper 1 is. But we need to find Ian he has been gone to long.It worries me. By the way, you should find Ian and get him to distract while you grab it. Get on the phone with Hamilton and Jonah and see what you can do.Cahill out!

Ok Dan, you may not have known this but stealing a precious, famous jewel is easy.

1. Come up with a geinus plan that will blow peoples minds
2. Get your entourage to do it with you, making sure everybody follows it to the letter
3. Go through with your geinus plan
4. Steal precious jewel
5. Deliever to Vesper One!
 
Follow these steps and you'll have the jewel in no time!

As an extra tip, Don't get caught!!!
IN CASE YOU FAIL

1. Use ninja mind power to break out of jail
2. Put on a helmet
3. Have the Holts use you a a demented battering ram and just ram everything in your way until you get to the jewel and you grab it on the way by and then they send you through the nearest window where you make your escape!!!
4. Deliever to Vesper one!!
Good Luck!

Get magnesium powder and gas torch. Melt the glass and security systems. Hopefully the jewel is diamond and can withstand the crazy heat.
If this doesn't work, just get cesium and H2O and blast the display case open.
It might be a good idea to do this at midnight. Buy a bunch of cesium, blast your way in. Kill the cameras. Use assult rifles or gernades if you have to.

Well Dan, it depends what the secruity systems are and is. Lucians are used this kind of matter, they have sources deep within the government Daniel. LUcians would be helpful in this crysis. But if it was in a possesion of a Janus back then, Then I can surely help, I can't get it for you though, remember if we expose the Cahill family and all the talents we withhold, this can surely get out of hand. I rocemmend a Lucian agent, a relative of Ian and Natalie Kabra, their cousin Zayn J Kabra.

Dan, what you should firstly do is hook up with Ekats to find a way to either hack or create your own security audio and video feeds. If you choose to use your own, have them whipp up some easily consealable web cams. Then have some Janus agents help you find a sneaky way into and out of the building with least exposure to any guards or cam feeds except your own. Have a backup plan to get in or out. And of course, avoid any Vespers at all costs. Good luck!!!!!

 Ok i'll try #1 record a  time when the room is empty and tap into the survalence video and place in on an endless loop #2  This would have to be an inside job you would need some one who works at the museum to turn off the alarms ( a secrity guard would be best)#3 you will need some knockout gas to take care of the guards #4 the secrity guard that is with you will need to attempt to turn off the alarms on the case  #5 you will need an object about the same size as the jewel( a glass replica) ( there will most likly be a pressure pad in the case the item would need to be switched extreamly fast)
#6 as soon as you have exited the area have the secerity guard replace the alarms and remove the loop  P.S this is a
that i thought up for one of my books   

 Don't walk away from change it will just follow

Carry on! What good advice but carry on to where?

Hmm... Really depends on the security. There are several pretty basic ways that I know of that actually are based on real crime plots.

Here are some movies with some awesome ideas:):)

"How To Steal A Million"  1966 - Two main characters steal a famous sculpture using a child's toy!

"Ocean's 11" 2001- A bunch or retired soldier friends in the 1950's rob all Las Vegas's most exclusive gambling joints.

"The Return of the Pink Panther" 1975- At the begining of this movie it goes through all of the crook's moves to steal the most spetacular diamond in the world. (Eh?)

"National Treasure" 2004- This movie has some pretty cool technics when they steal the Declaration of Independance.

"Catch Me If You Can" 2002- This is based on a true story about Frank Abagnale Jr., who was named the best impersonator in the 1960's. Pretty cool how he pulled it off.

I hope these have some usefull information. The only thing I can really tell you, don't get caught....

Hey Dan! Nice to see ya!

Whatever the people say, don't try going through just with powder or oil cuz you see the lasers. The powder can let you see the lasers for a while, but then it vanishes, and then you're stuck in an awkward position with no idea where the lasers are.

It would probably be easier to hook your own lasers onto the laser sensors. That way, you can pass through.
