Silas"
The Meet
The team meets with Silas in Dantes and gets the intelligence for the task, learning that they are hunting a cell of Fear the Dark terrorists who are poised to engage in a terror attack on Funworld. They learn that in addition to fighting vampires there is a contract between them and a CAS local security company called Blackwatch. They are instructed the client wants the cell resolved quietly and provides two modified auto injectors which are set to interact with bio-bed style set ups. The injectors will poison the twenty or so victims that the vampires are holding in a medically induced coma as a food source.
The team negotiates for funworld tickets as part of their pay as well as the possibility of emergency evacuation to a secured medical facility in the case something goes poorly.
The Plan
1. Smuggling: While Silas arranges for travel for the team and their gear to be smuggled into the CAS, Blackhawk contacts Diego Carrillo and pays 1000 (plus 100 from Psyche who has the contact) to smuggle his sniper rifle, FBA, and some other gear into Orlando.
2. Legwork: The team does a very deep scouting run during the afternoon of Day 1 doing matrix, astral, and physical security
The Run
Travel Day:
The team does some matrix searching and discovers that there are some local support circles for HMHVV patients as well as an above average number of missing persons. The team is able to zero in on a farm which has a barn large enough to host comatose patients, where the owners of the property is also on the missing persons reports. They debate which of the possible locations could house the patients, settling on the barn when they realize that the barn and house is made of corrugated metal.
Psyche realizes that the rural areas are known for raising cows - both regular ones and paracritter ones - hellcows
The team does learn that Fear The Dark often recruits from disaffected former military, police, or corporate security, which seems to imply larger weapons, heavier armor, and unit tactics
The travel itself via plane to Corpus Christi, NightRunner to Tampa, and GMC van to Orlando handles without incident, bringing the team to their medium lifestyle safehouse in Eastern Orlando.
Day 1:
Approx. 4pm: The team begins some physical recon, starting with finding one of the buried network cables leading out to the farm while still off property. They summon a spirit of earth to dig up the cable and then Koi hacks into the network on the farm. They learn there are two cameras each on the water wheels, the windmill, the house, and the barn. There are four turrets - two at the barn, two at the bridge to the house, loaded with ingram valiants.
The team begins to head onto the property with Koi providing matrix overwatch and looping cameras. Koi shares that there are 9 hellhounds and some hellcows by the entryrbridge, two units of Blackwatch Security by the windmill, and then two more by the house along with the four turrets. On seeing the Blackwatch units, the team realizes they have some knowledge of Small Unit Tactics as well as being kit up with Full Body armor/chemseal. They're armed with SMGs and thermal and smoke grenades.
The fly spy gets into the barn revealing the 20 victims who are set up in surplus medbeds, feeding tubes, and such. They are also mutilated in various forms - some are missing feet from obvious amuptation, and some are missing arms and legs that used to be clearly cyberware installations.
