Summary

Runners stole some plasma weapon prototypes from MCT and they have traced the location of these components to an SK owned lab operated by Onotari arms in the AGS. MCT has subcontracted Slava Nikerosa to recover these prototypes discreetly and with no ties back to MCT. In tern Slava has reached out to the local Seattle runner network to strike the facility.

The Meet

The team all met up at Slava's bar, the Runner's Resort, in Tacoma to discuss the run. He explained that he was given the location of a secret lab facility in the AGS that is ripe with tech and ready for plunder. His "source" was able to provide some basic info on the facility as well as a single dose of a special nanite system that the lab uses for employee identification. The nanites are currently not registered with the lab and would not work unless their ID codes could be included in the staffing. Slava did mention a small hiccup with the run, he was not directly offing money for this job. He instead proposed that he would offer his intel on the facility, its location, the nanites, and his services as a fixer and sin forger in exchange for the stolen prototypes. Anything else that the team recovers from the facility is their to keep or sell. He would arrange to either fence the goods or change ownership of anything recovered. The team was hesitant at this prospect but sheepishly agreed at the promise of laser tech along with other likely military grade gear.

The Plan

The team started be digging up as much info as they could on so black sites. The reached out to contacts and performed some matrix searches which resulted in very little information. With that they contacted Slava who arranged for transport on a UCAS military transport. The soldioers were not too pleased with their mission being preempted to drop off some passengers and neglected to inform them that their vehicle would be ejected from the transport and engage in a HALO jump. The team was shocked but Red Ribbon managed to keep it gether and get on the ground safely. They had arrived in the AGS. BHop reached out to a greenwar contact they worked with in a previous job, Bl@ckjack. They were able to provide the location of a centralized host within Berlin which is used to coordinate staffing for all the facilities in the region and recommended that Hop starts there. This began the first host dive of the run. The plan, slip in and try to locate information related to the facility as well as secondary information related to it. Supply deliveries, staffing, layouts are all fair game. Narrowly avoiding the patrolling IC and spiders, Hop found a file room with personal files related to the facility. These files contained information on staff rotations, on site staff numbers, and with each file a coded value linking to their file to their injected nanite system. Armed with this info BHop left the host and the team began thinking of ways into the facility. Plans included sneaking Tempest in as a new guard, hi-jacking or redirecting the next food shipment and posing as the delivery crew along with physical infiltration were thrown about. The team decided on some physical recon before settling on a plan and drove to the facility.

Aftermath

Tempest narrowly survived the brutal escape a d the team deftly avoided local air patrols as well as satellite imaging. Even though the stolen plastic pistol exploded, Hop managed to recover a lot of research and blueprints, not only to the stolen plasma tech but also many other OA active projects. Additionally Neijing got out with the partially completed plasma rifle. This was more than enough to fufil the base contact and earn a small bonus. Additionally Slava was able to change ownership on the stolen goods and provided cash for the recovered research data.

Narrative consequences!

• Von Neumann has been provided the means to build plasma pistols at its leisure.

• SK did not loose the plans to build its stolen plasma tech as they were not destroyed but has suffered a small setback on its plasma rifle program.

• MCT has recovered its lost plasma prototypes along with some advancement of the technology thanks to SK's weapons' tech program.

• BHop is paranoid that her signature has been discovered and is in the hands of SK.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

Heart of the Tempest

Well. 'Twas certainly an adrenaline rush. I was caught in a lie and without mine powers, and had to beat a fighting retreat. 'Twas unfortunate, and between the backlash of mine powers an' a fire spirit. Far from death, despite mine girlfriend's objections, e'en after a plasma blast incinerated the best portion of mine abdomen. Mine gifts art most handy indeed.
