Summary
Fearing an attack on infected communities that they support, the staff from Farraday's Clinic decide to hire some runners to investigate some communities and drop off supplies. With a prescient intuition, they realize an attack is imminent and head to deliver goods.
Background
See And Love You Shall Find for further details.
The Meet
The runner team meets up with Liam Borrinea and WRN3 to discus what has been going on. With extra information previously given by another runner, the Clinic expects a major attack soon. With supplies in tow, the teams are sent to check up on three communities in the Puyallup area.
The Plan
The team does some short term investigation to figure out whats happening with the communities. Between the North East, Central, and South Western communities, only the north and south ones are above ground. Red Ribbon's heuristic thinking kicks in and they realize an attack is absolutely imminent. Given that the central community is the largest, the team investigates there first. Meeting with the security team lead, Ava "Avalon" Luong, they realize that the concourse they're in is the only thing between the entrances and the civilian houses behind them. Blackhawk and Ribbon decide that it may be beneficial to split the party, but before they get far away, an astral projection manifests to let them know that a large force of Pixy Squad is about to invade. After a short earthquake and cutting of the power, the team realizes that they are immediately under attack.
The Run
Splitting into two groups of runners and guards, the team hold off an attack as best they can. Lingchi and Ribbon utilize long range techniques to aide the far communities as best they can, while Paz and Blackhawk lead and deal with Pixy squad inside the concourse. Pixy squad hits hard and fast with a large number of grunts and highly trained operatives, Forming Fushiguro Team and Strive Team. Strive team is led by Leton, while Fushiguro team was led by the eponymous Fushiguro.
With a split attack, the runner team faces heavy attrition in the face of extreme violence, but over a ten minute battle, they're able to repel the enemy OpFor, while also capturing some of the leadership of the Enemy team. Fushiguro is the only person to talk, espousing how much the runners are exactly like her, given how both are killing for a cause they believe in. Refuting these claims, Red Ribbon, Paz, and Blackhawk are able to but heads with and even recruit Kayo-ii to their cause, or so it seems.
After Capturing the remaining alive Pixy squad, the team prepares for a second incoming attack, given a chance to call in reinforcements or run.
Aftermath
Most of Strive Team is destroyed, however Fushiguro team is left over half intact. They are also told that Stray Team, Allan Team, and Galeem Team are prepping for another attack, promising to wipe out every person within the compound. The Citizens are half evacuated, with another half of them remaining. The runner team prepares for the final push, as well as calls in reinforcements.

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
- Blackhawk: "It's just another job. Been a hunter for a long time, never seen this level of skill with this much equipment. Doesn't bode well for those they're aiming for."
- Lingchi: They melt before the sun's glory, as did Icarus when he flew before it. May the flares of light sear the next set of foes from our gaze, blinding as looking into the sun with bare eyes.
- Red Ribbon: "Keep them coming. We'll keep mowing them down. Any prospective family murderers need to come through reception first - don't mind the heavy amounts of lead and gunpowder."
- P23: "Landmines. Terrorist tested, goddess approved. Now they just gotta meet my armory until they collapse."
