Background

Trevor Hill, Bostonian and fledgling Fixer, is putting together a team on behalf of his client. Somehow, knowing that Koi is aware of the presence of Redline, a Humanis agent located in the CAS, Hill has contacted her to make an offer since he suspects she would go after the train regardless. Koi, calling on promises made to her by Weevil, Pacho, and Blackhawk, call them in to help while Hill himself contracts in Babylon for some additional support given the relative lack of experience among the runner team.

The mission: get into the heart of the CAS, find out when their pre-eminent bullet train is heading north to Nashville with one Arthur Davis of the Atlantean Foundation on it, and kill him in such a way that it looks like the train had an accident.

The Meet

Koi gets a call from her fixer, Issac, that there is a fixer looking into her and wanting to offer her a strange job. He explains that the fixer is communicating that he feels some 'recent intelligence' she has gained regarding Humanis from All_good_till_it_wasn't will be mutually beneficial to a job he needs done as well. She agrees, and heads to the Bellevue Crab House to meet with Trevor Hill, who explains he is tangentially aware of her target in Redline, a Humanis agent, and that he has a target who will be on the same train.

She calls Pacho, Blackhawk, and Weevil and recruits them into the mission; giving them the address of the Crab House, those runners head towards the Meet with Hill.

Madame Butterfly calls Babylon, letting her know that something about the job seems weird and involves "trains and explosives", and to be careful with how the job goes.

The team sits down to meet with Trevor and begins to discuss the job; however, both Babylon and Blackhawk are able to realize the F9 Shadow Spirit lurking over Koi's shoulder. Trevor explains that the target is Arthur Davis, a research scientist for the Atlantean Foundation, who will be travelling from Atlanta to Nasvhille via a bullet train for a conference. The team discusses various ways of accomplishing the task, with Babylon being wholly against mass casualty options.

Trevor Hill also explains that the first step in any run on the "Crimson Tide", the CAS's premium bullet train, begins with "acquiring" Veronika Shaw, an operational director of the Confederation Rail Company, or CRC.

Babylon is able to convince Trevor to arrange for some transportation and such to get them and their gear into the CAS, instead of any kind of negotiation for extra pay. After stepping out to make some calls, he explains he is able to get them a SKA-008 to get them into the backwoods of Georgia where a stock, if broken down a bit, roadmaster is waiting. Safehouses and such they will need to arrange for themselves. They each one a R3 Burner Sin that is associated with the CAS.

The Plan

The team reconvenes at Koi's safehouse and begins to discuss their plans; Babylon floating to the crew the idea of getting the Arthur Davis out of the train in order to get rewarded from the Atlantean Foundation for saving their guy, hoping to double dip on rewards by getting paid both by them and the Johnson.
