Summary
The runners extract an Ares negotiator, letting Aztechnology plunder his head for secrets.
Background
After the fallout of recent events in the Salish Shidhe Council, Ares is near certain to achieve their goal of securing territory in tribal lands for their own use. Aztechnology, still dearly wanting the site in question, hasn't quite let go of it yet. While they perhaps can't acquire it, yet, they can certainly act to make Ares's victory a bit less total. With intel on the location of a senior member of Ares's negotiating team, Maria Tejedor was tasked to find and hire a group of runners to extract him. With the negotiator in hand, there would be many ways to turn him to Aztechnology's side.
The Meet
The runners are invited to a mid level italian restaurant in Downtown, Lucianos. Maria, already sitting and eating, invited the rest to join her, meals sitting on the table. Trust in the food was mixed, especially after it was revealed she worked for Aztechnology. Potato ate quite well though.
Maria explained to the runners that the negotiator, Nate Longton, had been determined to be in a luxury getaway named Golden Sands Retreat, a group of cottages by the seaside in southwestern Tacoma. Tasking the runners to extract the man, ideally without detection, the runners were given an initial offer of 14k each for the job. Negotiating for another 2000, the J quickly and eagerly agreed, perhaps a sign that they could have negotiated for more.
The Plan
Driving towards Tacoma, hoping to scout out the cottages and perhaps quickly pick up the target, the team found something disconcerting. Rather than a cluster of cottages by the beach, they were faced with a thick and tall hedge wall, with a Knight Errant staffed checkpoint to enter. Pell summoned a spirit to scout the compound from the air, managing to avoid the astral sight of forces on the ground. Inside, while containing an array of luxury cottages as promised, they found that the grounds were crawling with KE security, with dog patrols, cameras, and boats patrolling the waters. Tasked with infiltrating a gilded prison than a getaway, the job had become more complicated.

Well, that went reasonably smoothly. Certainly felt like we've overplanned a tad bit. The aftermath of this might be concerning, though.
