Summary
A contact from McGill University wished to hire runners through two locals, Carleton and Vincent, who wanted to end the political career of a Québécois extreme nationalist trying to thwart unification plans between the Republic of Quebec and the UCAS.
The Meet
Zephyr-South Multi-Use building, fourth floor, in a conference room with each Runner and Carleton plus his cousin, Vincent.
The Plan
Identify where incriminating evidence in the form of journals are located by a federal Minister; absolute positive proof must be obtained as the Minister is to be eliminated through the court of public opinion and law by Raquel Domage, the client.
The Run
The Runners split up into two sub-teams due to transportation needs; an aeroplane team who could pass security checks and a ghost-train team who could not. They arrived at a designated safehouse with an asset, Melanie Powers - a suspected impersonator/disguise expert to discuss their approach. The target had two locations that he could be at, his Ministerial office or his government-provided abode. The team decided to check the home to start. His home was moderately secure with a single Watcher providing Astral surveillance, electrified fences, secure armorglass, maglocks (which remain unlocked during a power outage), a backup power generator for the power grid only, and security cameras. Infiltration was accomplished thusly:
-Runner 'Narukami' would await in the getaway vehicle whilst providing lookout for nosey neighbours, police activity, or if the Minister were to remain home.
-Runner 'Ashford' would provide Astral overwatch and guide 'Zaya' to avoid the gaze of the Watcher, whilst also identifying any suspicious auras.
-Runner 'Zaya' would execute physical infiltration and disabling of the security system.
-Runner 'Titan' would provide backup for any situation. The remaining Runner(s) would keep the safehouse and the asset secure.
There were no breaches of security which resulted in detection or alert as far as the Runners were aware of. The team successfully retrieved some incriminating evidence and translated the journals. The team contacted both Carleton and Raquel to explain their results. The team also attempted to contact an information broker Amrei Veidt to sell some of the valuable but undesirable journal details but were not successful in reaching her.
At some point, one of the Runners decided to fight a seemingly random woman at a martial arts dojo. It did not go well for the Runner.
Later on, the team identified where the assassination was to take place, a theatre, and the perpetrators were to be a group known as the Face Dancers. Although strategy was put in place for stopping said assassination, in trying to retrieve the evidence from Jaques Cartier most of the team accidentally ran into the would-be assassins earlier than planned. The team then decided to eliminate the threat at the scene of discovery and were successful in both the elimination and the planting of evidence at the now-impromptu scene of the crime; a firearm connected to a previous incident and the journal detailing the assassination of Minister Benoit were planted as police closed in on the weapons-hot situation.
The run was complete after that.
Aftermath
Assassination plan was thwarted and the correct person(s) involved were lawfully incriminated, the client(s) and Mr. Johnson(s) attained their goals.

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Gulliver What a colorful mix of characters! I'd love to go on a field trip outside of work with ALL of them! Maybe to that place Titan's from? Never been oversees. Actually this was my first time outside of the metroplex.
Gulliver extends the stay in Quebec for a month, enjoying some martial arts and French lessons. Accepts Alice's suggestion to go to the arts museum together, where he gets the opportunity to show-off how little he knows about art but listens carefully to what the guide-drones tell them about various painings and artists.
After that, they go to a café and write a postcard to their mutual friend Titan, whom Alice has been asking lots of questions about. She seems interested.
Gulliver also meets with Raquel for lunch a few times to discuss politics, learn more about how to earn a college degree. He finds her intriguing.
Narukami: "It certainly was interesting leaving the country. Think this was the first time for me. I hope the other runners do well for themselves. Though I worry about that troll..." Narukami sticks around upon returning to Seattle to regale Carleton and Vinny with a detailed debriefing of how the job went, hoping to strengthen her connection with Carleton as a fixer, with the high ticket political job they pulled off as support. She makes sure to stress how vital everyone's role in the team was.
Ashford - "Smooth and simple, though it did show me why Quebec isn't UCAS in a cultural sense - utterly different to the standard Seattle experience. Wouldn't hate working there again, assuming we have someone who can speak french."
Titan - "Didn't understand much ... all talking strange and then brothers and clowns in bad dresses. But a lot of girlfriend material there in Quebec... hot Mel, hot orks before their faces melt and hot Alice who's still hitting me... Someone please remind me to clap gulliver for leaving the vid clip of that hotel ... Standing there getting cuddled by an Gulliver, while Ashford holds my hand - not good for the big bad troll image. Whatever, the duck was awesome!" Titan stays a bit in Quebec as well - away from folks is a blessing.
