Summary
Three runners steal a fridge for an AI to live in. Somehow a go-gang gets dragged into the mix.
Background
A few months ago, Trideo microcelebrity Richardson Nash owned a one-of-a-kind SOTA refrigerator, which had been a gift for him from Horizon after he signed on.
The Meet
The runners were invited to a VR chatroom/cafe for the meet. The Johnson outlined the job: stealing a specific fridge from a certain celebrity. The J's cover story of being a "collector" was immediately seen through by the team, who sensed desperation on the J's part to get this SOTA fridge--desperation that could only be born of a Persnickety Renter-afflicted AI forced to upgrade to a higher-tech fridge to compensate for increasing Depth. With this in mind the team was able to squeeze Mr. Johnson for all his spare funds. The team was given a week to perform the job, and were asked to not kill anyone along the way.
After the virtual meet, the team met up in meatspace at [The Daze] to plan the job.
The Plan
After some searches, the runners dug up Richardson Nash's schedule and determined that he would be out of the house for most of the day during the following workweek. Wanting to avoid a violent confrontation with a celebrity and hoping that part of his security detail would follow the man, the team resolved to steal the fridge while Nash was out of the house.
The fridge was located in a house in Bellevue, so the runners had to figure out an entry and exit plan. They had a van to carry the fridge, but wanted an ironclad exit strategy in case they incurred heat during the job. Knowledge of smuggler routes turned up a conspicuous lack of OU entrances near Bellevue, but [Psyche] remembered that the 405 highway is frequented by the 405 Hellhounds gang, whose rampages can draw Knight Errant attention away from the rest of the highway. It was decided that the runners would instigate a go-gang incident with Knight Errant timed to coincide with their heist.
The next day, [Honeypie] began to sow the seeds of chaos among the Hellhounds. Going in disguised as a biker, she caught the ear of a gang member and convinced him that the Ancients were going to make a move for the southern Bellevue 405 highway the next day. Meanwhile, [Psyche] and [Clown] headed to suburban Bellevue to scope out Richardson Nash's house. After bypassing a SIN checkpoint, they checked out the matrix and astral security of the house, finding minimal defenses on both fronts.
A simple plan was formulated. The runners would insert themselves into the house's schedule as HVAC repair workers, then flood the house with Neurostun. From there, they would enter, grab the fridge, turn invisible, put the fridge in the truck, and leave for somewhere less policed until they could arrange a handoff with the J.
The Run
The evening before the heist, the team headed out to southern Bellevue to tag the highway with Ancients graffiti. This was in order to draw the 405 Hellhounds' attention long enough to draw KE to their presence.
On the day of the run (after the refrigerator's owner had left) the runners piled into their van and headed for the suburbs of Bellevue. After a long struggle with an underpowered SIN scanner, the team made it through the security checkpoint and approached the house. With the HVAC repair appointment slipped into the schedule, [Honeypie] had no issue slipping knockout gas into the vents, incapacitating all occupants of the house.
From there, [Honeypie] cut open a window and boosted [Psyche] inside to unlock a door. With a floor plan ripped from a cleaning drone the kitchen was located without any trouble. [Psyche] stopped to steal all the appliances in the kitchen to enhance his lifestyle (and would later loot the fridge for its contents). [Honeypie] was able to lift the fridge easily, and with an invisibility spell from [Psyche] was able to take the device out without attracting attention. So far no alarms had been raised, though the runners skipped erasing the house's security camera footage in their haste to leave. With Knight Errant mobilized to deal with the Hellhounds the northern 405 highway was unpatrolled, letting the runners slip into Redmond unopposed. There they contacted Mr. Johnson, made the handoff uneventfully, and erased all the RFID tags on the waffle makers, blenders, and other appliances [Psyche] had grabbed on his way out.
