Summary
The runners were hired to kill a UCAS senator's son from a former intel man. The runners succeeded but at great cost.
Background
Sebastian Stone, a former CIA intel officer hires the runners to kill a Senator's son. The son a Killian Grey is a playboy who has left a trail of broken hearts and broken minds. Sexual abusing women and partying in full debauchery with his father's money in Seattle and various other places. Stone's daughter was raped by Killian and the runners are to kill the asshole and get the data off his commlink. It also seems that the father an Aiden Grey has been making more money than a senator should be able to.
The Meet
The meet is in the deepest level of Dante's inferno. The runners meet Mr Stone and the meet goes off without a hitch. They RC-45 recognizes that they are dealing with a CIA spook, albeit retired. When Stone explains how the run is personal and the details the runners are much more on board to kill someone so important.
The Plan
The runners come up with some plans and use some contacts to find their mark. They end up using Helena a contact to find out that he is most likely at a high level party taking up the final 3 levels of a skyscraper in Matthew's Beach. RC-45 hacks the host and nested hosts to get themselves on the list and get intel of the guests and security.
The Run
The runners do no astral recon, heading in undisguised with just their SINs on the line. They pass the SIN checks and use their passes to get up to the party. They past the wards. Everyone is running without any masking except Kado who passes the first assensing from an adept out front. Thunder embarrasses himself in front of multiple guards bumping against he ward with a health spell repeatedly.
Once in the party, attention is drawn to Thunder and Kado. Her unnatural charisma and Thunder having 50+ street cred. They go about, meet another contact who proceeds to peel out seeing them there. The senator's son meets Kado, interested in bedding her. The one bodyguard mage assenses Kado and senses that she is a banshee infected. The security team smartly decides to pull him away from the banshee and somewhere else. In a moment of not thinking, Thunder decides to cast mind magic on the security mage escorting the senator's son.
Multiple people see through the t5 threshold, including the mage. Not wanting to have a fight in such a high security area the team books it out of there with their ward. The runners flounder and come up with a new plan as they talk their way out of there.
After doing some more magic that nearly KO'd the Mage they found the target via search power. They did some more legwork, called some contacts and made deal with the devil metaphorically with Thunder's anchor contact to get some info.
Not using this information at all, the runners decide to find a Woog spirit in the barrens that was force 10 named Woomy. Using Woomy's abilities they had him deliver a package of C4 to the target. With a bit of fuss the package was delivered, with Woomy taking the payment of 3 karma and 30 nuyen in trash for his trouble.
The runners hacked the commlink that was intact and got the files they needed.
Aftermath
With such an explosive exit, it was a news story about a political figure's son killed in an obvious hit. With Thunder's news contact throwing him under the boss to get some amazing ratings. Unfortunately due to this, this means that Thunder is now wanted by the UCAS government for questioning and murder.
Using the files from the commlink, Mr. Stone is going to make more calls to his friends in Langley and will be contracting runners out to start hunting for leads, evidence and intel. Links point to Aztechnology and sitting UCAS government officials.
