Summary
The runners are hired to get someone out of an Ares blacksite. They do so without any major hitches.
Background
At some point in the past, Mr. Johnson's friend's sister was black-bagged by Ares. Said friend had only just now tracked the sister down.
The Meet
The runners were pitched the job: get Mr. Johnson's friend's sister out of the blacksite. The J wasn't entirely clear on why the sister, one Amy Weaver, was in there to begin with, but the runners accepted the explanation of "unusual genetics." After some haggling they accepted the job.
The Plan
After some snooping around the site's host, Trades got all the info the runners needed. It was discovered that the location was connected to Redmond's disused train tunnels, and a plan was formulated. 1) Trades would drive her car through the tunnels to the location, with the other runners inside. 2) Trades would set explosives in the tunnel--a surprise tool to help the runners later. 3) Trades would use hacked turrets and doors to neutralize the security guards (via locked security doors) and mage (via turrets and bullets) for enough time for the rest of the plan to happen. 4) Misfire and Mystic Murray would cut through the wall separating the facility and tunnel with miniwelders. 5) Mystic Murray and Misfire would get in, grab the target, and exit to the waiting vehicle. 6) Opposing spirits left after the mage was neutralized would be dealt with by Mystic Murray's spirits (if dematerialized) or conventional violence from Misfire, Murray, and spirits (if materialized). 7) Explosives would be detonated after the car cleared the tunnel, collapsing it and preventing direct pursuit. 8) The runners would drive from Redmond to the OU, where they could lose any tail.
The Run
The plan unfolded more or less as laid out by the runners beforehand. Trades left the security shift's conjurer bleeding out on the floor using a jumped-in turret, and the two trolls cut through the wall before any response could be mobilized. Misfire grabbed the unconscious extraction target and booked it for the car. Mystic Murray assensed Amy Weaver and scanned her as being some kind of HMHVV strain, but didn't care enough to say anything about it. His spirits and Misfire's bullets swiftly dealt with the one spirit that showed up to block their escape, and the tunnel collapsed behind them on the way out.
Aftermath
Unbeknownst to the players, Amy Weaver was an Invae Nymph who had used Masking to hide her nature from the runners. The implications of this are as of yet undetermined.
