Summary
Amidst the chaos of the Seattle gang wars, a Horned Bear transport was ambushed by the Yakuza, who made off with several crates of military hardware. The mercenary company hired four shadowrunners, Wayfarer, Drifter, Miut, and Grackle, to retrieve their stolen gear from a hideout the gangsters were using in Puyallup. Going loud, the runners carved through the Yakuza guarding the stashed weaponry, managing to retrieve the crates and take one of the higher ranking gangsters as a prisoner before slipping away.
Background
As the conflict between the Cutters and the Ancients turned the Streets of Seattle into a warzone, the death and chaos saw ever escalating scenes of violence radiating outwards as opportunists and the desperate sought to claim any advantage they could amongst the carnage. That means for the fighters of this world war writ small, nothing that can be used goes to waste, even if that means wasting its last owner to use it. Like in the last days of the Balkanizing nation-states of the 5th world, a gun in the Emerald city can trade hands a dozen times before the day’s over- a Lone Star officer’s shotgun becomes a gangster’s street sweeper becomes a PMC’s breach gun.
And on August 8th of 2087, a small group of shadowrunners would become a fine example of this aggressive reallocation.
A Horned Bear APC carrying supplies through the embattled Seattle streets was intercepted by a force belonging to the Yakuza, who made use of two RPGs they had recently taken after a skirmish with the Ancients to disable the transport. In the ensuing firefight, two Horned Bear PMCs were killed, and three crates of military weapons and hardware were pilfered by the gangsters for their own use in the spreading conflict. Ashen Hand, eager to avenge his dead and get back what was stolen, hired a small band of Shadowrunners to ensure that the crates would change hands one more time before the day was done.
The Meet
Miut, Grackle, Wayfarer, and Drifter were each dealing with the steady backslide of their city into the gurgler in their own messy ways when they received word of a job securing valuable cargo from the Yakuza. Their Fixers pointed them to a meeting place out on the edges of Auburn at the head of a camping trail. At the spot they found Ashen Hand already waiting, not one to let an intermediate handle his business. The grizzled merc told the crew what the situation was and that he had managed to track the stolen shipment back to a Yakuza hideout in Puyallup, saying his goal was to get the goods back, but that if the crew got a little vengeance for his dead men all the better. Making his offer, most accepted. None were the haggling type.
Miut, however, pointed out that the Yakuza goons likely still had the explosives they had used to take down the APC. In the face of such risk, she demanded that Ashen Hand sweeten the deal, asking that a token she owed him be forgiven to sweeten the deal. The metal-armed Merc agreed.

Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Wayfarer - "A mission complete and no casualties amongst my allies; I could ask for little more. I am also pleased to have seen both Miut and Drifter in the field once more, and to have met this newer one - Grackle. Perhaps our paths cross again in the future."
