Summary

Whislash from the Kazimierz crime family sees an opportunity to gain some clout in the Finnigan's and takes it! The runners are called in for a hit and raid on a Yakuza Facility.

Background

A movement within the Kazimierz and Finnigan family sees the connection of the two. This nascent connection has Whislash enter Seattle and start to make moves to route certain people from within the Finnigans to make way for a new connection. Tonight, the team is called in to help excise someone who Whislash defines as needing to be offed.

The Meet

The runners investigate the meet point and don't seem to recognize the J anywhere, until the hear a box giggling. Finding Whislash within, she bursts out and offers the runners a job; "kill one specific target and bug out, or kill as much as you can and I'll pay you extra per head. Bring me proof of you killing any high value targets and I'll pay you a bunch more!" So, the runners set up shop to deal with the enemy insurgents.

The Plan

Eidolon plans to get into position sniping and scouts out the enemy area. Red Ribbon grabs her big truck with a canon and gets into position. Blackhawk and 316 prep to sneak in and deal with some combatants before hell breaks loose. Marrisa sneaks around and prepares to assault with sword and gun drawn.

The Run

While their sneaking efforts were valiant, a drone spots Marrisa early on. Given Eidolon was prepped and primed to strike, they take out the enemy sniper in an opening gambit, totally removing them from the opposition. The opening seconds afterwards feature blackhawk, 316, marrisa, and red ribbon catching goons unawares, followed by the killing of yet another high value target. The next moments sees a total sweep of the enemy team, with many fleeing after the loud, fast, and heavy assault against the docks. Killing the target and the yakuza boss sees the runners heading back to Whislash to get paid, who is happy for the overall results of the fight.

Aftermath

The removal of yet another obstacle for Whislash and her crew bodes well, and the runners are handsomely paid for moments of work.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

• Blackhawk: "Simple job. Easy pay. But something feels... off to me. Can't place my finger on it but just... I just hope it's nothing. But given how this is Seattle. It rarely is."
• Marrisa: That was fun! Took down a few yaks for that "Wishlash" girl, who was an interesting sort. Red Ribbon was nice to work with again, Eilodon was... cold, but certainly efficient. I wonder if he would be interested in some more focused work. Blackhawk and the number girl, well, I don't like working with parasites, but it is what it is.
• Red Ribbon: Pretty straightforward. Shoot a guy, wipe them out. This was an excellent team for the job, and even though Wislash seems a little too enthusiastic about murder for my tastes, I'm not going to judge a J for something like that.
• Eidolon: Always nice to have an incredibly straightforward job sometimes, and killing syndicate members, particularly yakuza simplifies things... I almost feel bad for the Shotozumi, I've been hired multiple times to hit them... and they've even hired me for their retaliation gigs. Glad I'm discreet enough neither side knows about my involvement in their secret vendettas. Team seemed to work well together, not too much to particularly note for synergies. Blackhawk was efficient as always though he seemed a bit offput by the simplicity of the job.
