Summary
Charon has a bomb in her head and wants it removed. She hires a team of runners to recover a cyberdoc that is capable of removing this bomb.
Background
The Meet
Team is provided a location and some sin information to easily get to the meet. Checkpoints do not bother to sin scan the team and allow them to pass. At the locaton the team finds an empty Aztech Nightrunner docked. Inside of it they find a chip with an AR tag stating take me to Vashon Island. Bulldozer and Eidolon sweap the boat for explosives and Nu11st@ck preps the boat to leave.
Once at the island the team sees a garden shed with an opaque glass wall dividing the room with 4 chairs. A voice discusses the job and the key fact that memories will be wiped out of the run once completed. The team generally agrees and the J explains the job. The team is to locate a certain doctor in Scotland and then have him perform a certain surgery. The DR is not exactly willing to come with us. The DR leaves on the 20th, he needs to be recovered by then. The offer, black market augmentations or bars of gold. In addition to the Dr there was a 2ndary target, a mage that works with him. 1 gold bar for each target or equivalent in ware. Draven managed to negotiate for some up front money any the team set to acquiring some gear for the run.
The Plan
The J will air drop the team. Using an Ares dust-off 2 members will descend while a spirit helps with the others. While en-rout Nullstack performed some matrix searching to locate information about the target. The target is in a convoy and has about a day head start on the team. Once on the ground the team will try and locate a trail to track the target.
The Run
The jump went off without a hitch Nu11st@ck and Eidolon road the dustoff down, Draven used an air spirit to safely parachute to safety and Bulldozer pulled parachuted down like a champ. On the way down Eidolon noticed some movement in the tree line and the team prepared for an attack while landing. Nu11st@ck took a closer look with a flyspy and found a set of undead looking Fenrir wolves. The team chose to avoid them and move to the provided "vintage" truck. After a brief modification Bulldozer started to drive and the rest of the team piled into the back. Eidolon Nu11st@ck and Draven put their heads together and came up with a few locations on Eidolon's map that might be a good starting point, 3 cross roads. The convoy is likely to have passed by at least one of them. Nu11st@ck dispatched a flyspy to the one furthest away while the team approached the first. While approaching the first crossroads, Nu11st@ck and Bulldozer found run flat tire tracks heading north west, seemingly towards the reactor.
The team followed and arrived at an "abandoned" railroad town. Nu11 spotted a number of partially rotted corpses seemingly crying blood. Eidolon took off towards the tallest builing in the town while the rest of the team continued tracking the convoy. On his way Eidolon got accosted by a spirit of some form telling him to leave via fence post message. He ignored it and then moved on to the roof. The rest of the team advanced into the town. As Eidolon got into position he spotted a command vehicle with some turrets and a couple of guards. Draven summoned an illusionary dragon to distract and scare the guards and awoke the corpse like spirits in the town. The creatures rushed towards the dragon and the guards fled into the vehicle. Nu11st@ck piloted the dust-off containing Bulldozer over the command vehicle and Bulldozer dropped on top of the truck. The battle continued, Bulldozer engaging the people in the truck while Nu11st@ck provided air support and Eidolon attempting to convince them to surrender. The team began to focus fire on the spirits in an attempt to blast through their regeneration. Bulldozer managed to intimidate the crew into joining forces and finished the rest of the pursuing spirits.
With the fight finished for the moment the Target transmitted a meet location and the team joined them there for a discussion. Nu11st@ck approached with Bulldozer to negotiate with the opfor and attempt to convince them to come willingly. Providing some info related to the bomb entices him to join, though the magician was having none of it.
Aftermath
The J makes good on their word to pick up the team and releases a balloon for the team to hold on to, the plane swings past to grab the floating team. Payment is hastily provided and the team is returned to the street, memories removed as promised.
