Summary

The team was called out to meet the Johnson at Redmond Barrens off-road, at an unusual location that was seemingly out in the middle of nowhere. However, the Johnson that would appear would be legitimate, and the runners were then tasked to retrieve sensitive schematics and materials that the Crimson Crush gang held in their possession at a hideout in the barrens. The schematics revolved around a distinct take on a suit design with an integrated flight system. They were also tasked in assassinating the leader of the hideout called 'Mr. Bolo'.

The team synergy flowed extremely well, with a few quirky moments here and there, but they managed to get the job done, fulfilling both the main objective (retrieving the schematics and materials) and assassinating Mr. Bolo (the secondary objective).

Background

A new faction in Seattle is slowly rising to the surface, called the Paladins of Solace. It's a small group of mainly elven members that are specialized fighters and aircraft pilots, that operate by the code of elven chivalry. Other races are welcome in their ranks as well, as they aim to protect the innocent, works of art and beauty, as well as preserve those things. However, starting up a group like this with so little isn't an easy task. Along the way of trying to get their base of operations set up, they encountered the Crimson Crush. While the Paladins were able to hold their own, gangers from the Crimson Crush managed to steal a key piece of equipment that was crucial to the Paladins. What the Crimson Crush stole were schematics and some materials used for the suit designs of the Paladins. What is most notable about this design is the fact that the Paladins of Solace use modified wingsuits, together with a jetpack.

With the Crimson Crush raid stopped, but with some getting away with the schematics, the Paladins realized that they can't be in two places at once, as they simply do not have the resources or the manpower to both repair and finish refurbishing of their new base and guarding it, while also pursuing the Crimson Crush gang. This is where the runners come in to lend a hand.

The Meet

The team had specific, strange instructions to head out into the Barrens off-road, to find a flare gun and fire it into the sky to signal the Johnson out. It seemed suspicious, and the team was naturally on guard to be wary of ambushes. After scouting the area properly though, it turns out that no ambush was in place. The team would then proceed to fire the flare gun into the skies, which left a moment of suspense to follow. Suddenly, from the skies would be the Johnson herself, donned in a special wingsuit and jetpack. She made quite the entrance, and when she revealed herself, Janus had his split personality disorder trigger, causing some confusion to occur in the team. However, they'd come to terms with Janus' quirky traits, and the Johnson would proceed to inform the team of the job at hand.

The team had the main objective of finding and retrieving a box containing key schematics and materials for a wingsuit design, held in the clutches of the Crimson Crush gang at a vault in a hideout they had at the Barrens. The secondary objective would be to assassinate the one in charge of the hideout itself, called 'Mr. Bolo'. The Johnson would provide the coordinates to the hideout, and with that, the team would start making preparations.

So we all thought the J was gonna geek us with a rocket or something, turns out she was really pretty and I made her laugh. At the end of the day though, I blew up some orks and got the job done. 20K creds well earned, in my books
