The Meet

Meet Carleton at the Zephyr South building. Meet a representative calling themselves the 432 who represented the interests of the 10k lions triad as well as Chiao. Want the team to steal some artifacts for the ritual as well as find debris from the shipwreck.

The Plan

Trades calls Norville for the team to be lent some gear for their operation. The team does some matrix research as well as using their knowledge skills to ID the Opfor, their allies, some of the relevant information, and

Upon their arrival in Japan, Thunder and Nearl dispatch a spirit to examine the wreck site before the team drives over to Mera. Once they arrive, greeted by boat pilot. Heads over to ship. Nearl and Thunder share a room while Funk and Trades share another.

The Run

A team of scuba divers approached the boat while the team slept. The triad discovered that the document they'd stolen from Vancouver was a forgery, so they sent in a team to raid the team's boat while they slept. The team is awoken by klaxons blaring as they quickly begin to ready themselves before the boarders arrive. Once the boarders arrive, the team handily dispatches them and captures two of them for interrogation. Nearl instructs the team to gather ash and dust while Trades' anthrodrone hauls down one of the incapacitated members. The team receives a message on the commlinks telling them to call the 432 for new orders. Upon calling the J, the team is informed that a deal has been negotiated between the two dragons, and that the opposition will be delivering the materials to the triad.

The team prepares themselves to depart for the sea wreck. Thunder transforms Funk into an octopus, and themselves into an orca, and the team departs for the shipwreck. The team arrives uneventfully at the shipwreck where Thunder pulls some of the debris out of the way, so the team can reclaim the pressure gauge. Once they get the pressure gauge loaded onto the Lamprey, the team begins their trip back to the boat. Upon their return, the team hands off the relic off to the team, and they settle in to watch the triad ritualist perform the awakening. Upon the boat's arrival, the team begins negotiating for different statuses in exchange for spirit markers.

Trades

I keep going on aquatic missions. I think it's worth investing more into being prepared for these kinds of things. I love working on the water since it validates my specialization.

[Thunder]

Great job, except for being ambushed in the middle of the night. Taking a mental note to sleep with one eye open. Great team to work with. Interesting historical aspects to the jobe and fun to swim in the ocean as a whale in company of Octopus Funk. An honor to work with Trades. A true (matrix-) wizard of the trade. Particularly wonderful to work with my favourite chummer, Nearl. Like a dream-vacation <3
