Summary

The Sony corporation is developing a new piece of gear that lets them rig people. Someone hired Runners to put a stop to this.

Background

A cyber collective hacked into SONY and found the issue, and then brokered favors to get the money to do a run against this.

The Meet

Tülay Meier-Adler, the Johnson told the runners of the payment plan, then informed them of the general security of the target. this included how heavy the drone swarms were relied upon, the cyber security of the area as well as other operational details that could be known.

The Plan

Chop Shop did a matrix search, found out the internal security of the systems (HVAR, guns, a couple other details, finding that a box was shipped in.)

Wolfheart did a druidic ritual to mana window through the mana barriers and peek through all the security, discovered the general layout of the facility, locations of general security measures as well as rough numbers of the enemy numbers.

The Run

Runners drove to the compound, have a spirit baby carry them over a fence and then they hacked into the cargo warehouse, snuck past two scientists discussing the good life with concealment spirit, went down the stairs.

At this point they have been hacking cameras five times over, and found down the stairs was a MCT rotodrone wandering around slaved to some guys RCC. Chop shop tried to hack it but the rigger was notified of the issue and promptly turned around and sounded the silent alarm.

The drone that was almost hacked turned hte corner and fired a bunch of bullets that didn't do anything, and then got broke..

Another drone was sent to peak around the corner to spy on the runners while they did their thing and a security response could be made, and it got shot in the face.

While the runners moved down to close the distance to their objective, security goons went down the stairs and used a mirror to spy on the runners, and promptly got knocked unconscious by virtue of air burst grenade, screaming about his legs all the way to the black. After this, a lot of things happened all at once.

Chop Shop & Wolfheart were in the hallway, Burnout and Messenger _7 was in the Process Division, where the spooky laboratory stuff happens.

1. 10 MCT Rotodrones each maneuvered into a 20 meter line such that htey can all fire without going into their firing lines in the hallway, and promtly sent a hail of bullets at Chop Shop. the damage done was negligable.
2. Silent Alarm provoked a repsonse by HTR to move in, with a HTR Mage/Summoner moving in immediately to check the situation out. He immediately banishes Wolfhearts spirit and order two of his four force 5 spirits to materialize and geek astral people.
3. Handler got his War dogs out of the cage and releases the dogs.
4. Chop Shop almost gets body slammed by a knock off ARES Cheetah (Sony Cougar).

Chop shop responded to this by kicking the Cheetah that was trying to run away into the ceiling, dump shocking the onsite Rigger.

Wolfheart casts Powerball onto the dogs as well as a fire spirit, doing neglible damage and taking cover.

Burnout breaks into the Process Division where the objective is stored, and spots a nerd putting one of the objectives from a display case into his bag.

Messenger 7 proceeds to break through the door and goes to bully that scientist/nerd.

The dogs try to maul Chop Shop, and fail.

Fire spirits to to maul Wolfheart, fail.

2 Fire spirits that were not materialized go to bully Wolfhearts spirit, does so.

The scientist was bullied into opening a safe, he tried to run away only for the Anthrodrone getting up and silently shooting at said scientist. suprisingly, the guy lives. Later, his bag gets cut off of him by Burnout.

Chop shop witnessing the Anthrodrone, gets his machine gun and Bulls Eye Bursting it through 2 reinforced glass panes and a desk, putting it down.

Burnout leaves Process Division and uses her sword to cut 2 Fire spirits in half

Wolfheart switches to Astral Perception and murders the HTR member through a f7 power bolt and something like 24 reagents. All fire spirits released, Wolfhearts wolf spirit possesses the 6 war doges and they play hell on the stair way.

Fight is over.

The run team promptly goes into process division, destroys all objectives (presumably also the one inside the scientists bag, but it wasnt explicitly stated as such.) and finds the mysterious box.

There was a person in it, breathing raspily. after a small amount of deliberation, the players decide to activate its kill switch and to their horror find that the person in there basically kept screaming when the pneumatic press inside the box began trying to pulp the person inside. after a solid 10-15 seconds of screaming, the runners turn the kill switch off, and let the poor chummer out of the box.

Inside it was a Cyberzombie, basically half dead from events besides the box and covered in soot. it numbly followed the runners out of the building. They passed by the Rigger being evacuated by a Doc Wagon team

The guns on the outside of the compound on 2 towers did not shoot at the runners, ordered to stand down to prevent property damage.

Aftermath

The Runners, only barely knowing what it was exactly their new "friend" was took it for a drive to a B zone and (one runner had to go in the trunk.) They met with the Johnson after arranging for a street doc to take it off their hands, (Jane Foster). Jane Foster arrived with a white van and gently asked it to come with her, which the cyber-zombie did.

The CyberZOmbies name was Charles.

The Johnson flatly asked to not be informed about the giant hulking monster and to continue about his day. He paid the runners and called it a day.

The Cyber Zombie will be a part of future events., as it has MCT Cybernetics and ARES markings on it, and was found in a SONY box.

The Target of the Run was successfully destroyed.
