Summary
Two shadowrunners in over their head call for backup after the street sam has his cyberlimbs stolen by a ghoul gang. The backup recovers them, and more.
Meet
Near midnight, Waspkeeper sends out an alert to any shadowrunners in the Redmond area. She helps defend Rebuilt, who has been stripped of both cyberlegs and his characteristic jacked-up throwing cyberarm. The team responds to the call within minutes, loaded out for heavy combat. Waspkeeper explains that she's going to get Rebuilt to a street doc, but the team needs to recover his cyberlimbs, which were likely taken to a Disassembler gang warehouse 100 meters from their current location. As the team begins to discuss options, they spot a pack of feral ghouls attempting to ambush them and leap into combat.
Run
Purkinje's drones are quick on the draw and lay down a zone of suppression fire, bombard the pack with a HE grenade, and then intercept sprinters with a monofilament chainsaw. Two fall dead in this assault, and Roadkill finishes the stragglers off with a dangerously close grenade. With the area clear, Waspkeeper extracts Rebuilt and sends the team on their way.
Pell and the drones lead the team quietly through the streets and alleyways, avoiding any ghouls that may have been attracted by the sounds of combat. Soon, they arrive outside the warehouse. A quick once-around reveals each door is guarded by two trolls, and all are armed with screech rifles. The roof has a drone rack with a dozen roto-drones that are also armed with screech rifles. Purkinje hacks the RCC controlling the drones, installs a rootkit to switch its friend-foe detection upon reboot, and then reboots it. The team administers ondansetron to protect themselves from nausea if they get hit by the screech rifles, then Roadkill leads them in a diamond formation to assault the most defensible side of the building.
Pell, Eris, and Galatea make quick work of the door guards and secure the team's flanks as Roadkill tosses a grenade inside. The Disassemblers are quick to react, and one shoots Purkinje with a screech rifle, knocking her over. Pell is also dinged at this point. Purkinje powers through it and calibrates the team's gear to improve combat efficiency, and Moth rallies the team to pick up the pace. A surgeon scrambles the drones, not realizing they've been programmed to attack the disassemblers. They swarm the surprised Disassemblers, taking out several. Galatea rushes inside and uses the shelves as cover to engage clusters of foes in melee combat while Eris presses on the squad's left flank and seizes control of another side of the building. Roadkill and Pell open fire on the Disassemblers in view, keeping them pinned down. Moth keeps the team focused, and Purkinje begins running combat analytics to protect the team from incoming attacks. The rotodrones take out most of the remaining gangers, at which point Galatea and Eris close in on the surgeon, who deactivates the drones.
At this point, it becomes apparent there is a cage full of people likely snatched off the street and someone the Disassemblers had just captured after she tried to run away. The surgeon produces a grenade and pulls the pin such that if he gets attacked, the striking lever will be released, and the explosion will kill all the prisoners. Moth tries to negotiate with him, which ends up distracting him from what Eris does next: fire ex-ex slugs at his grenade hand such that it gets blown off at the wrist and flies into another section of the warehouse, where the blast is contained. Galatea then puts gel rounds in his head until he goes unconscious.
Aftermath
The team saves the prisoners and helps them get home. Any surviving Disassemblers are captured and turned over to the First Nation gang, who are known enemies of Tamanous, with whom the Disassemblers work. Rebuilt's cyberware is recovered intact, and the remaining cyberware is salvaged, as its owners are well dead by now.
