Summary
The ShadowHaven team rescued a number of ex-NeoNet SINless from enslavement as cookers/mules by the Ionizing Trade, an offshoot of the Rusted Stilettos.
Background
Dr. Merritt is a human female who runs an off-the-grid hospital for the SINless in the carcass of a former Neo-Net building in Kingston, Redmond. She tries to help the locals because she and her former corpmates are now SINless themselves after the dissolution of Neo-Net. A number of her residents have disappeared after looking at other outlets to make some nuyen and one resident came back suffering from an overdose of novacoke from the mule packets inside her and now sporting a cranial bomb that shorted out instead of exploding when she ran.
Please note, the novacoke produced by Ionizing Trade is known as "blues" on the street due to its blue color from the rat poison used to cut the product.
Please also note, Merritt's hospital was already threatened with extortion by a technotribe called the Data Pack, who locked the hospitals Matrix files in a data bomb and ransomed the data's safe return.
The Meet
The ShadowHaven team met Dr. Merritt at her hospital in Kingston. She explained her situation, showed the one female ork who managed to come home and asked for the safe return of the rest of the ex-NeoNet SINless taken in by Ionizing Trade. She noted that her hands are a rather tied by a lack of resources and a current extortion attempt by the Data Pack.
The ShadowHaven team negotiated 4,000 nuyen each, plus a promise of future medical services as needed. Never also negotiated a separate deal to bring in expert assistance to deal with the terminally ill and seal off their bodies to prevent shedim from rising in their place. She honestly made the good doctor cry.
The Legwork
First, the ShadowHaven team needed to deal with the data bomb from the Data Pack to access camera footage to help track Ionizing Trade recruitment efforts.
Captain Freefall was able to convince a contact from another reporting beat (or was it the District Attorney's office?) to part with the known password used by the Data Pack to defuse their data bombs (and the stupid fraggers always used the same password).
Dandy pulled in a favor from Enduring Resistance to send in some technical help and just had to pay them with the Data Pack password (and some warnings to not overuse it). The deckers from Enduring Resistance sliced through the hospital's host and brought up the images needed, patched in a commcall with the Black Cross, and noted they had seen the blue novacoke on the streets. They even found a street dealer hyping the goods on a street corner in Touristville through a Facespace page.
The runners and the deckers piled into Dandy's truck to find the street dealers, finding a pair of the (one human and one dwarf) on the street. Dandy pulled up close to the curb, the deckers jumped right onto the curb, Captain Freefall jumped onto the sidewalk to the front of the pickup to block them, Steel jumped to block the sidewalk at the rear of the pickup and Never just pulled out her guns from the bed of the pickup and shot the mouthier one in the knee. After a little more interrogation from Never, both pushers were started to freak because the cranial bombs in their heads started to go off. The deckers from Enduring Resistance were able to defuse the dwarf's bomb, but Captain Freefall somehow managed to suck down the explosion in the human's head like a fine Cuban cigar, leaving him completely untouched (wait until the doctors see this one).
Steel pressed both of the now ex-pushers into service as guards for Dr. Merritt's hospital, but they also completely spilled the beans on Ionizing Trade's operation. They have multiple cookhouses all over the Redmond Barrens, but once a day they turn their cooks into mules by swallowing all the packaged novacoke from that day and drop the people off at a site at the edge of Glow City. The product is then rerouted for distribution and sale.
The Plan
Detail the Team's plan to complete the run. This section is broken down into four parts to assist drafting the report.
Overwatch
Overwatch members are runners who are not planned to provide a necessary action, but are providing security in their realm of expertise and are prepared to step in as complications arise. Overwatch can be done either off-site or on-site.
Runner (Name) for a mage watching or providing general assistance from the Astral.
Runner (Name) for a decker or technomancer watching or providing general assistance from the Matrix.
Runner (Name) for a samurai guarding or watching strategic locations in the meat.
Runner (Name) for a rigger operating as a security spider (anti-spider?).
Runner (Name) for a rigger providing drone coverage.
Insertion
Describe how each member of the insertion team is gaining access to the target location. Add off-site members (Matrix, Astral, drones) who need to perform critical, necessary and planned actions for the run to succeed. Remember that some overwatch members still need to be inserted, namely those providing physical security.

Implementation

Extraction
Describe how you plan to pull out of the target location, cover your tracks and get paid.
The Run

What are the consequences of the run? Remember to think of the Team, the Johnson, the target, the public, ShadowHaven and the story at large.
