Summary
Background
As part of a series of runs against Renraku, Trevor Hill is sending the team to break into a facility in order to steal some physical hardware - the data on which is important to his research.
The Meet
While on the way to the meet, Cauldron runs into an issue in the "A" zones of Bellevue where his SIN gets made. Thankfully, he had aimed for one of the more lax checkpoints where he was able to chat up and bribe his way past the KE guards.
Silver Lining hackers his way in through the SIN Scanners while Alkali manages to con his way through on a claim of being on a cleaning job.
The team meets at the Bellevue Crab house on Lake Washington, where Trevor Hill conducts all his meetings. SL gets some sideeyes on the way in, by dint of being a dwarf, but manages to walk into the building without incident.
Unlike Alkali who is struggling with his magic to carry his own bags as Cauldon gets out of his chauffered car. Bastard that he is, he walks right past the struggling maid. Alkali gives up and summons a task spirit to carry his bags for him though the spirit has to wait in the coat check room.
They meet with Trevor Hill who explains he wants them to do an unusual data steal - instead of stealing the data, he wants the devices the data is on. Some pitched negotiations occur but, ultimately, Hill is victorious and doesn't budge on the price. He does allow that he can see about hooking the team up with some cyberware he has access to, though he doesn't make any promises about it being 'good'.
