Summary

Background

“Runners - looking for some “pre-emptive salvage and acquisition” of a set of prototype drones. Target is a Renraku convoy making its way through Seattle in the next few days. Convoy’s guarded, so bring your “A” game.

Trevor Hill”

The Meet

The team meets Mr. Hill at an upper scale Bellevue restaurant, though Pinnacle and Girl have a bit of trouble getting through Bellevue due to their lack of resources and fancy clothing. RC realizes that a convoy of this nature would have at least a light response team, including a decker, rigger, and some kind of magical protection.

Hill explains the convoy will be coming through in the next two days, travelling from Everett through Seattle and exiting through Ft. Lewis, and that his client wants the prototype drones the convoy is carrying.

Pinnacle uses her Area Knowledge to determine that the most likely route is Everett through Snohomish, through downtown, through Tacoma, and through Ft. Lewis. RC does a suuuuper deep matrix search and finds a Renraku R&D. Boombox calls Mr._Cromwell and pays two ground to get the exact route - the convoy is travelling along the "old 5" route. Pinnacle calls Miss_Onyx and learns that there's no model number on the drones and that -no one- is talking about what these new Renraku drones are.

RC does some matrix digging and realizes that, strangely, the host is super high rated; so the team decides to search in other routes. Drak recalls some rumors that there were some new drones out in development that had super high bandwidth ability which seems to match why the data on them is stored in such a powerful host. Boombox realizes that a convoy like this will have HTR nearby should things go loud.

The team pulls an "I know a guy" and contacts Dial-Up to get some information. In exchange for later discussions with Girl about the nature of the "Soul.exe" program, Dial Up provides RC with some falsified credentials to get access to the Host.
