Summary

A woman running a school for underprivileged orks called together a team to deal with the bigots who assaulted them on their camping trip. A feel-good run ensued as the team got across the border and trounced some Humanis jerks.

Background

A school for underprivileged orks went on a camping trip - truly, a benevolent cause. Regrettably, drunken rednecks attacked, and thus poor Mz. Johnson called together a group of runners.

The Meet

Cuts on her face, Mz. Johnson meets with the team and asks only that they be dealt with. On the face of it, she simply wants them not to hurt anyone again. An insensitive question about wetwork only prompts a request that she be left out of the details. Cash placed in escrow, the team makes out for the border.

The Plan

The runners bounced across the border with only a small hitch - while Skandar's "stealth blimp" made it over without issue, Sephiroth was trailed by a spirit. Only after the spirit was banished could the party track down the rednecks in question. The 'plan' was to go do violence to the rednecks - and nobody was on the same page about the lethality.

The Run

After the border patrol incident, the approach was stealthy. Even Triage was able to keep nigh-silent, in spite of a lack of sneaking experience. This allowed the team to sneak up, right up until Sephiroth sprang into action.

With the notes of One-Winged Angel at his back, Sephiroth sprang into the camp, slaying one in an instant and making the rest of the team scramble to follow. The swordsman drew every bit of attention the camp could manage as he deflected bullets, took rounds to the chest without so much as a wince, and carved through the meager opposition with no sign of stopping.

Skandar provided thorough fire support from drones, while Triage sprang into action to keep the mad swordsman swinging - a slap of a stimpatch, and the swordsman was kept going, at a cost: Triage took a tumble to the dirt, a bullet wound sapping life from him.

Of course in the meantime, Five of Nines and Bleach had flanked to the side and opened fire. Shotgun blasts were not effective enough, so when things began to go sideways, a pair of flashbangs brought a decisive end to the engagement, leaving their opponents out cold.

Aftermath

Triage was patched up with his own equipment, brought back to consciousness before the redneck goons so much as stirred. The living were bound up with plastic cuffs by Bleach, and shortly thereafter the team ran for the border once more, having completed their mission flawlessly except for the parts that almost ended badly.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

LHOG (Bleach)

Silly late night runs are silly, and also a bundle of fun. Today, Bleach got her favorite meal on the cheap, then went on a camping trip to take down a bunch of racists on behalf of a poor ork lady and her schoolkids. She even got some free beer and a neato gun out of the deal! It's hard for a day to get much better than that.

Skandar

Being a smuggler Skandar specialize in fast border jumps, so it was a pleasure to carry some good runners back and forth. A bit supportive shooting, and the money is ours. No casualties, no lost equipment... Skandar likes to complain, but this time he can't find a good reason.

Triage

Not my cleanest run, I will admit. Between the fact that most of my teammates appeared to be medical psychopaths, and taking a bullet to the chest, there were many things I would have improved if I could. Still, I got a decent amount of money, and dealing with human supremacists did help take some of the sorrow over killing away. Had a chat with the earth Kami after the run was over, they were pretty friendly.
