			[[Bunny Hop]]: ''Insane'' shadowrunning. I don't think I'm that far behind as a hacker, but he's on another level as far as everything else goes. <s>And what was that divination, is FastJack actually still''alive?''</s> Fennec's got social engineering down solid. Honestly, I wonder if I even did that much this run, other than channel the Resonance...

Flashbacks of the traitor's guiltless grin and her companion's innocent blood play at the corners of her sight. This may be the best chance she has, she reasons, in the middle of the Mojave, though she knows that in doing so, she also sacrifices [[Pulse]] and [[Bunny Hop]] to intense [[Horizon]] investigation. Even still, it is not until their car is long, long past the horizon that her finger on the trigger finally comes loose.

She brushes against Fennec's hand and shares, in an instant, everything she knows - [[Fennec]], well versed in conspiracy theories, is delighted to finally confirm one surrounding [[FastJack]] surviving the [[Renraku]] SCIRE incident.

	~~Entering~~ the ~~facility~~, ~~Fennec crafts a convincing lie regarding being specialist cybersecurity experts~~ and ~~IT specialists~~ from ~~Dawkins Group~~ here to ~~do a once over before~~ the launch to ~~make sure it's up to spec. Horizon takes~~ the two ~~technos aside and shoves them into~~ a ~~Farraday caged~~ room pending approval of their story.		[[Fennec]], or rather Scarlett Clover, talks the three Dawkins wannabes through several security checkpoints, leaning on robust documentation and the sheer power of an unexpected visit from some very high profile individuals. They're here to ensure the launch goes as planned, and in doing so are scanning for compliance, consistency, and most importantly, any potential sabotage. The irony is not lost on the three of them. Nonetheless, their story checks out well enough to be allowed onto the premises, even if the two suddenly-registered technomancers must submit to some time in a Faraday cage'd room pending approval of their story.

	Shy makes her way ~~into~~ the ~~area~~ of the facility ~~as well~~, ~~sneaking through defenses~~.		All the while, [[Shy]], well hidden on her trek, makes her way through chainlink fences and around the watchful eyes of cameras. Though she notes the position of the warehouse where their main objective lies, she herself finds surreptitious entry into the facility's sub-basement. Her fixer, after all, has an agenda of her own, data to steal, and plausible deniability to maintain.

	Ace Powers ~~descends~~ in ~~an alien spacecraft. Holy shit. An actual little~~ flying saucer. ~~What~~ the ~~fuck~~. Ace Powers ~~exchanges business cards (AROs) with Bhop~~ and ~~Fennec~~'s ~~Dawkins Group-sonas~~.		After some time, enough for [[Shy]] to position herself as she likes, the two technomancers are released from their custody - their documents look right, at least, and any attempt to look much further than that would delay their duties far too long. As they emerge into the broader facility, an ocean of prototype and experimental [[Horizon]] technology greets them, not least of which is [[Ace Powers]] himself, descending in a small, man-sized flying saucer. He looks over the "Dawkins Group" agents, and after some sweet talk from [[Fennec\|Scarlett Clover]], decides he likes the cut of their jib. [[Fennec]] and [[Bunny Hop]] both swiftly craft business card AROs tied to burner SINs, receive [[Ace Powers]]' in turn, and watch him turn away, satisfied at the apparently new talent. With a blessing and a wave, the trio of hackers move into the access room for the facility's private intranet, and with some surreptitious and resonant code, [[Pulse]] once again dons his power armor and descends into the depths of a [[Horizon]] host. [[Shy]], meanwhile, is ostensibly on hand to make a scheduled delivery for a spare part, once the manifest has been fully manipulated.

	~~Pulse~~, ~~flanked by Bhop and Fennec~~, ~~hacks~~ into the ~~host with very little difficulty~~. Shy is ~~on hand~~ to ~~have~~ a ~~spare part delivered later today, after~~ the ~~Matrix crew fake a failure~~ of that ~~component~~ and ~~a necessity to be replaced~~. ~~Pulse~~, ~~power-armored up~~, ~~descends into~~ the ~~host~~.		In reality, however, [[Shy]] has found her way into the facility's sub-basement, bypassing several security pads. [[Pulse]]'s earlier diligence pays off, and [[Shy]] is able to recall several secure and decrypted passcodes of a considerable length to grease the wheels of her infiltration. All is as expected until she arrives in the sub-basement server racks, where her expert senses tell her that she is not alone. Faint, disgusting squelching sounds around the corners, sniffs at the air, and hums low and threatening threats. [[Shy]], professional, avoids detection however, and the creature must admit its mistake. Its flesh slaps wetly against the hard floor as it goes. [[Shy]], with relief, is able to identify the location of the physical hard drive with the data needed, and safely extract it from the rack before beating a retreat back to the warehouse.

	~~While~~ Pulse ~~is hacking the manifest~~, Shy, ~~in the sub~~-~~basement~~, ~~comes across a keypad~~, and ~~remembering~~ the ~~code from earlier, gains access after pressing, like, thirty digits~~. ~~Shy continues to sneak past some of the unorthodox defenses in~~ the ~~sub-basement server stacks~~, a ~~mysterious creature that still~~, ~~despite very~~ good ~~senses~~, ~~cannot find her. It squelches as it walks away~~. ~~Probably cool and normal Horizon things!~~		Just in time as well, as [[Pulse]] finalizes his changes and falsifies diagnostic errors on their target part. With some informal warning and an alert that a replacement has been scheduled, he hacks some cameras to facilitate [[Shy]]'s infiltration into the warehouse to actually replace the thing and avoid a social infiltration, and finally closes up shop- No, obviously he doesn't, were you even paying attention before? He rattles his spray paint cans and graffitis "You Just Got Pulse'd!" directly onto the spider's work desk. With a MARK on the command console, he also leaves a brief reprimand for the spider, urging him to choose to use his hacking abilities for good, instead of for the benefit of a global megacorporation.

	Shy extracts the hard drive she's after on special request from her fixer, and makes her way toward the warehouse where she'll drop off the package. Pulse, still assisted by the team, makes to completely edit the manifest with the false information.		With loose ends and punk manifestos tied up, the team pack and make to quietly leave, their Dawkins jobs apparently done. [[Shy]], separately, sneaks out the way she came, out into the open Mojave, with eyes on the distant road as her companions make their escape.

	Pulse, insane, leaves his signature directly on the spider's desk inside the host. He paints "You Just Got Pulse'd!" in bright, bold letters. Pulse continues to hack doors and cameras to clear the way for Shy to enter the warehouse and place the package, where it is promptly scooped up by a big drone forklift and taken awy.

	After the excitement, the legwork actually begins. Some coordinated Matrix Searching points the trio toward a couple of hosts both largely responsible for the Horizon launch site's continued operation. A Data Host, corporate and large at a potent rating 10, holds all of its information, while an Industrial Host sporting similar numbers commands all of its delicate machinery. The three of them agree that the most prudent piece of information they'll need to grab is a cargo manifest for the upcoming launch, as well as a map of the facility, to pinpoint the exact location of their target and give their physical infiltration the best chance at making it in and out intact.

	To that end, [[Bunny Hop]] cracks her knuckles, [[Fennec]] compiles a sprite, and [[Shy]], back and fresh from her brisk walk, weaves the world's mana to fully trace and optimize ~~his~~ deck. [[Bunny Hop]], preparing her completely-mundane-definitely-not-resonant-proprietary-Overclocking-method, is ''awestruck'' the moment she actually analyzes its device icon. [[Pulse]] wields an honest to GOD Fairlight Paladin, and she is beyond belief at the scale of runner he must be to have that. The rumors are all true.

He sneaks his way into the host and finds that its interior sculpting is an atompunk rocket launch facility. Utterly invisible to the various astronaut spiders roaming the premises, and immune from even the watchful eyes of GOD's omniscient overwatch thanks to the again-definitely-not-technomantic cleaning efforts of [[Bunny Hop]] and [[Fennec]], [[Pulse]], freedom of information punk that he is, does not let the opportunity go to waste. In addition to everything they need - the Cargo Manifest, the map of the facility, and any other onsite security measures - he also takes everything else, occasionally popping outside the host for an Overwatch reset whenever the Baby Monitor starts crying. Horizon's Vtubing platform and its metrics (by Fennec's special request), their employee databases, their meeting memos and minutes and vacation calendars and prototypes and drafted scripts and plans for the fiscal quarter. He tags the deepest recesses of the host with a brazen "YOU JUST GOT PULSE'D", and then, for good measure, walks right up to the spider's desk, out in the open, rattles his spray can, and paints it there as well. He is well gone before they ever notice the code he's left running.

	~~R10 Data Host~~		The meat of the matter, of course, is that they've discovered their target is located in Section 48J of the preparatory warehouse holding components before they're ready for launch and assembly. The onsite security is tight, as expected - an enormous salt flat makes any kind of ground approach easy to spot from a mile out, satellite disks and footage survey the area from above, and various security checkpoints ensure only those who are ''meant'' to be there actually arrive. For good measure, their Matrix presence runs on Rogue Hosts and Old Hardware, inaccessible from the broader Matrix, and requiring on-site access to read and maintain. An enormous pain for their IT team and would-be saboteurs alike.
	~~Cargo Manifest -~~ Section 48J
	~~R10 Industrial~~

	~~Big salt flat. Air field, sattelite, administrative hub. Security clearance areas. Network is running on older protocols.~~		They'll need to be in onsite, even the deckers, who still need to access and edit the logs and expected values for their subtle replacement. Each of them will need foolproof Horizon SINs, and after [[Alias]] tells the crew that her schedule is busy and to call back later, they decide that they've earned a small break, and will reconvene in two days' time, to rest, and to plan.

	~~Pulse prepares a deeper dive~~ to ~~get more information, and~~ in ~~preparation, Fennec and Bhop work together to custom fit rabbit-themed power armor onto Pulse's persona. Pulse, more powerful than GOD, sets forth to hack a TransGlobal host.~~

	~~The host is an atompunk rrocket launch facility. The spider, an astronaut, glances right past Pulse's graffiti inspired persona.
