Go get a drone with reasonable carrying capacity, some fairly good aerial pics of the Vatican roof. one circular bit of wood, some expanding foam spray to seal it in place, and a couple of smoke grenades (black, white, pink etc, preferably ones with wifi connections).

Work out what chimney they use (see pics), and how big it is, use drone at night to go block up the chimney and leave the smoke grenades.

So, 12 seconds after the they close the door to decide who's going to be the next pope, trigger the smoke grenades of your choice <evil laughter>.

Just have a world wide internet poll, of all who can be bothered, to initiate the trigger.

So...you cause the global media to think the conclave reached a decision? Or that the smoke was miraculously turned pink?

Since the Vatican has wifi jammers, it might be easier to make a big drone that looks like Jesus and just fly it around.

They did that at the beginning of La Dolce Vita. Sort of. Don't you remember?
