Summary
An old stoner hires shadowrunners to protect him from the Crimson Crush after his usual muscle was scared off. They meet at his Plastic Jungle gigaweed farm, pile into his truck, and fight off go gangers on the way to Touristville.
Background
Chuck Rollins has been growing and selling the Plastic Jungle's best organic drugs for decades, and it determined to continue enjoying his independence at any cost. Unfortunately for him, the Crimson Crush is the latest in a long life of assholes trying to muscle in on his operations. The go gang has scared off his usual security and demanded he cut them in on the profits, so he does what any reasonable person does and hires runners to solve the problem.
The Meet
The runners are given the location of a bio-dome in the Plastic Jungle where Chuck Rollins is in the middle of loading up a beat up old pickup truck with a ludicrous amount of gigaweed, with the assistance of a modified Proletarian drone. The old man explains the situation and asks the runners to provide security while he moves his goods to Touristville to meet a buyer from the Koshari in Touristville, and the team agrees. Fading of the Dawn lends her considerable strength to help load up the truck, and Plaguemaster takes some time calling up a spirit.
The Plan
The team, entirely lacking in vehicles of their own, decides that they're just going to ride in the bed of the truck with the cargo to keep it safe. They suit up and hit the road, with Chuck driving.
The Run
The team piles into the truck and Chuck starts the drive over. A flyspy is spotted trailing the vehicle, and tries to rush at truck when its pilot notices that it's been seen. Trauma opens fire on the drone and destroys it, setting off its self destruct module harmlessly in the air. The sound of motorcycles revving warns the team that the Crimson Crush is rapidly approaching, and Fading of the Dawn shifts into her dracoform.
After Trauma shoots the go ganger squad's leader off his bike, Plaguemaster's spirit spooks one off with magical fear, and Dawn knocks another out by jumping off the truck and headbutting him. The survivors flee, taking a pot shot at the pre-Crash truck's engine block as they speed away, but Chuck somehow manages to swerve out of the way of the gunfire.
Chuck notices that Dawn wasn't in the back of the truck any more, panics, and slams the breaks. Plaguemaster loses his footing and is thrown out, but somehow comes out unharmed. After that mishap, the truck keeps traveling to its destination and eventually arrives at the abandoned Stuffer Shack where Chuck expected to meet his contact.
The team sees a black GMC Bulldog in the parking lot, but also a pair of bikes hidden nearby. Trauma spots a pair of auras hiding in the convenience store, and decides to launch a grenade at the gangers' bikes. A pair of Crimson Crush goons rush out of the Stuffer Shack, with the Koshari buyer being held at gun point, and start to threaten the runners but are dissuaded from attacking by the runners' superior firepower. After some more chest puffing to save their egos, the gangers release Chuck's Koshari contact and flee.
The buyer thanks Chuck and the team for the rescue, pays for the drugs, and loads up.
Aftermath
Chuck pays the team with the proceeds from the drug deal and offers to get them whatever drugs they might desire.
To ensure he doesn't have future issues with gangers attacking his growing operation, he hits up some old contacts from TerrorFirst! to acquire more muscle to guard things.
The Crimson Crush's ego is bruised, and the defeated gangers start murmuring about having been attacked by a small dragon.
