Summary
The trio of runners are called to a Cafe in Redmond. The man inside offers them a simple job: Return a book to a library and make sure nobody knows that is what you're doing.
Background
Terunori Nonohori is a mysterious man who never exits his armor. Some people have said that he's got an eight pack, others are saying he isn't a human at all, and has no head! But either way, he's here now, and he has a mission: Deliver this mysterious and dangerous book to a local library for... some reason.
The Meet
The duo of Denarii and NSH get there quickly and have a chat with the J. Funk arrives shortly thereafter. The conversation is... confusing, to say the least. The main idea is to actually... return a library book. But the J wants to make sure that the library would have zero way to know the book was not supposed to be there. So, the ask was to edit the manifest and cover their tracks. Bonus points for being completely unnoticed, but ultimately he just wants it done. It is incredibly important that the library NOT KNOW that the tome he is delivering cast any aspersions or suspicion over the book. The team agrees, and NSH's drone stays behind to chat with the J as needed, as the J did not have a commlink. Nobody assensed the J.
The Plan
The plan is simple...
- Scan the area for tech and clues on the warehouse
- Find defenses and weaknesses
- Plant the tome sneakily
- Enter the matrix and edit the manifest
The Run
The runners hit the warehouse neighborhood and find the net surrounding the warehouse. Inside, Funk finds a Decker that turns out to be a Techno, An intial hack proves dangerous as the hack on the fly rebounds to hit Funk instead. Getting hit with a resonance spike, they try a different approach. A resonant nearby camera finds the mark traveling up to the Techno, which they use to slam the techno with triple marks. Funk and NSH use a moment of reprieve to hack and disable all the defenseless cameras.
Now that they realize the techno is only momentarily disabled, Denarii sneaks inside with the help of Cascade and a machine sprite from Funk. Sneaking in to the desired location, some choices lead to a guard finding and being alerted to the downed Techno. Denarii slams the book inside the desired shipping crate and runs to Cascade's car. Ordered to floor it, Cascade accidentally crashed her car, but then peels off for a second time to find her way to safety with Denarii.
Aftermath
Afterwards, NSH through the drone let the J know the job went well. The J had some questions though;
- Do you feel good about yourself?
- Were you spotted?
- Will anyone find out?
But through the choices of the runners to make it seem like other manifests were purposely messed with, they hid the fact that the book manifest had been altered. Satisfied, Terunori drops their credsticks for the run and leaves.
- Hearing the run went well, the J drops 3 credsticks and leaves. However, when a nosy barista in the store notices that NSH's drone can't take the money, she nabs one and flees, dropping her commlink in a nearby truck. The team unwittingly chases the truck not the thief, and finds only an older man who just wants to fish. NSH vows to get her money back.
