Summary

Urubia wants a few things from an SK facility in North Carolina, and hires our team to go to pull a mid stakes job on SK Logistics in Charlotte.

Background

An SK ambassadorship program is shipping crates of Lowfyr plushies as part of an ambassadorial North American Logistics branch of SK of a trainyard. Patrolled by Centurion Securities. Urubia wants them and invited the gang to the Funhouse via the Secretary of Fun and arranges a meeting with Oriana Cazador to commit the robbery with a secondary extraction target (the actual ambassador, Gabriella Roth) on the table. Client recommends a delicate approach and not slugging it out with security. The SK ambassador is bringing the Lowfyr plushies to give out to children and social groups across the UCAS and CAS and is arriving in on a train from Raleigh and Durham.

The Meet

Fixers were very clear to the team that they should show up on their best behavior and not act too much like Scrubs. The team arrives on time and relatively well dressed, making their way to a meeting with Orianna relatively easy with Will socially covering Snickerdoodle a bit. Snick buys a handful of Cereprax and K-10 which she doesn't usually see on the street, and some Jazz because why not. Orianna is quite serious, though not curt or the like. The team makes it through the meeting, with Firewill becoming increasingly excited about the notion of more Loywfyr plushes. Neogtiations go relatively straightforward, not much flex on the offer but a drugs payout is on the table by the end of it.

The Plan

The team acquires an SK Rental truck in Seattle, along with an existing Bulldog, and drive a few vehicles through the CAS to Charlotte.

The plan is loosely to gain entrance to the yard by reversing the codes to the delivery van. Find the train and a manifest, loot it, and if possible find and kidnap Ms. Roth and get out as clean as possible.

The Run

The team picks up the passcodes to enter the compound, some actioneer jumpsuits to look the part, and a set of fake Burner Sins imported from Seattle while on the road and pick up cheap lodging along the way. The road trip itself is incredibly pleasant with the team getting very lucky outside of bribing the standard checkpoints, with contacts providing routes almost the entire way.
