Summary

Background

The Meet

The team meet a giddy Sage Andalucia at his home office, and while their meet goes off without much of a hitch, the runners are off put by his lack of self preservation and understanding of running. They question how Sage got to be in the position they are, but none the less are willing to take his money after a deliberation, which seems to go well, so long as they nab some train paraphernalia from the underground, in some old train tunnels.

The Plan

PT decides to do something bold and drive their car onto the local tracks. Averting disaster and stopping their car from crashing, they decide to instead search for a spirit to help in order to locate the locomotive. Minx calls a contact, and Pinnacle remembers an old friend. With the combined searching, they find two places that could lead to a potential trainspotting; the railyard in Downtown, and the underground tunnels in Bellevue.

The Run

The team heads over the bridge to downtown, though they are stopped at the checkpoint. Minx turns into a cat and hides, while the other try to drive through. Without scanning her SIN, they're asked to be pulled over. The guard, trying to pull a fast one on them, is intimidated by phototaxis. Unfortunately, that doesn't work, and the guards start to beef up the checkpoint around the car. Not finding anything, the guard makes it a bit obvious he wants a bribe in order to get let the duo go. Leaving with a skip and a whistle, the guard opens the gate and the trio head into Seattle.


Finding a place to hide out, the team splits into Minx as a cat infiltrator, Pinnacle on lookout, and Phototaxis in the car controlling her spirit. The team does notice drones and spirits protecting the yard, as well as camera and gates, with physical patrols as well. So, knowing this, the cat sneaks through with the help of concealment from the beast spirit.

With the sneaking going successful, minx is able to navigate her way under cars and past cameras without being noticed, but not everything is right; the team makes minor mistakes here and there, starting to slowly alert the opfor security. Though, with the sneaking going mostly well, they're able to make their way into the first train to nab some nice items for Sage, including a placard, and a old rider's guide.

Not feeling satisfied, the cat and spirit make their way through the yard to levitate the items over the fence, and past that start to head to the big warehouse. Sneaking in through a window and passing the mana barrier, the team is able to make it inside but run into another problem; they know the items they want are here, but among the jungle of boxes have no clue where they are. To add the the issue, the security guard does a patrol inside the warehouse. Trying to hide into a box, Minx claws open a box, but its packed to the brim, and the security guard notices the now open box. Without being too certain that an open box in an inside a locked warehouse is a warning sign, they check in and start getting worried. So, they send a patrol outside the perimiter.

The guard does run into Pinnacle, and at first mad, is calmed down by Pinnacle. A rousing story of her lost cat persuades the guard with an alibi to let her go, and she does head back to the truck. Once there, the team starts to head to the warehouse, sneaking around just in time for the box of goodies to be flung through the window, alarms going off as Minx and the spirit are sent flying through the air by a Levitate spell.

Landing in Pinnacles arms, the team peels out, using improved invisibility to try and sneak away. Running in to the border, they are met with the same bribed guard, who lets them through after scanning and not finding anything wrong with Pinnacle and Phototaxis' SINs.

Aftermath

Sage Andalucia is able to gain the memorabilia he wanted, and with thanking the runner, offers his contact and rewards for having them sneak around on his behalf.

Minx

"This was something of a curious run, I wasn't expecting something of this caliber but it was quite amusing, albeit exhausting. I met with two bug women, they were quite kind and I'm not quite sure why the stigma is there; although I don't quite enjoy normal bugs so that is understandable. Regardless, we were tasked by our Johnson Sage to retrieve old train paraphernalia, he was rather vague and required some convincing to pay us a decent amount by PT, it was rather unorthodox. We went on the job, heading toward our location but the car in question was not following the train tracks all that well, after talking to my infobroker 8Ball and having a beetle beast scout, we found the train yard in Downtown. I decided to hide in the trunk as a cat because I hate being cramped, we got stopped but I didn't quite hear what was happening until it was over and I was placed within PT's lap for the rest of the ride."

"Putting my clothing back on, we arrived and scouted the train yard which seemed to be covered in surveillance and spirits. PT conjured a spirit after many tries, it was being rather stubborn until she slapped it once(kinky). I shifted back into a cat and levitated myself over the fence and found the train in question, I attempted to communicate that to the rest of the crew but unfortunately, they don't speak cat(weak). But they heard me eventually, I snuck into the locked door and got a map and something of a laminated transit map; along with telling the spirit to punch at a logo after I commanded it(It understood cat). Then later I snuck into a warehouse, I opened a box filled with a bunch of strange train accessories and had to hide suddenly as a guard noticed and yapped to his fellow guards. He got called away to be reprimanded(they get paid to walk around not ask questions), which left me with the box but I couldn't go back the way I came. So instead, PT had her spirit break the window as Pinnacle had been attempting to distract the guards to no avail, I flew with the box to PT and we all ran into it and drove off."

"I cloaked the vehicle and we managed to escape with our pay, all and all, a good run. People should learn cat."
