Summary
Mr. Johnson, on behalf of a major corporation, gathers a small group of runners to do a smash and grab on a secure transport on behalf of a rival corporation, the item in question being certain, 'live magical cargo.'
Background
The Meet
The meet was early in the morning, the moment the Seattle Space Needle opened up to the public, arriving up at the top, the group met with a rather sharply-dressed Mr. Johnson, struggling in vain to contain their accent, mannerisms, and propaganda-spewing that openly revealed them as a member of the Evo Corporation, which M3chan1c and Canter were quick to start toying with them on, seemingly to the delight of their client. After a rather persistent set of extensive, prodding questions, the group finally agreed to go for the job, after negotiating a nice little bump-up in their running fees. According to the Johnson, a rival corporation would be transporting a high-value, magical being within an unassuming Tanker truck, with the towed unit being a cleverly disguised containment pod. After prodding for specifics and spotting some poorly-concealed expressions from the client, it turned out that their objective was actually a SURGE victim with a high magical potential. With a bit more banter about the Johnson's inability to disguise their allegiance, the group shook on matters, promising to do what they could to retrieve the cargo alive and deliver them to the Docks where the client would be prepared to receive them, with their worse case scenario netting them a penalty to their reward money in the event their objective dies in transit, something both the runners and the Johnson seemed rather inclined to avoid.
The Plan
The group, after showing off their equipment, immediately decided they would all pile up into Canter's Rhino APC to chase down the tanker, with Canter claiming the holy privilege of 'driver picks the music' for their chase. After moving over a decent collection of explosives, drones, and a few spare guns from M3chan1c's truck, the party sped off, with M3chan1c dropping into the matrix to hunt down for the target vehicle after the runners all collectively groaned at the realization that they had never gotten the actual description of the transport vehicle. Going into a deep dive, M3chan1c spent a few hours trying to pin down the specific truck before dropping into meatspace and cursing up a storm and ordering some comfort food before dipping back into the matrix and running a much simpler, understandable search to generalize things, this managed to succeed! Giving the party the model of the vehicle they would be looking for, one which M3chan1c was intimately familiar with, due to his extensive knowledge of vehicles, he was able to pass a schematic for the truck to the party, pointing out a few locations and insisting they discover the location of the driver before pressing their attack for a quick takedown. Canter summoned a guardian spirit to handle the extraction of the package, leaving the runners to focus on eliminating hostiles and keeping the heat off of the spirit.
After a period of waiting, poor attempts at jokes and communication between the riggers and their rather stoic Street Samurai, and greasy burgers, the truck came down the highway, alone, unassuming, and completely vulnerable.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)
M3chan1c: "Holy shit, finally got a chance to ride in a Rhino and that thing straight up POWERS through anything you throw at it, I definitely have to get me one of them, don't know what the hell we pulled out of that tanker, but as long as it's gettin' me paid and not in the hands of that other corp it was going to, I'm a happy camper 'ere."
