Summary
Runners are hired to steal a new prescription formula, all to further The Grindset. A minor hiccup during legwork is smoothed over by heavy improvisation.
Background
Zeta-ImpChem subsidiary Eco-Solutions was working on a new stimulant when one of their employees said too much to the wrong person and leaked some information about the project. A Horizon executive decided to appropriate the drug to keep up in his competitive workplace.
The Meet
The runners were summoned to a cafe for the meet, where Samael, Joule, and Geodesic convened at the preplanned meeting place while Stacy blended in with the crowd. The J's pitch was straightforward: the runners would acquire the formula and sample for Eco-Solutions' new stimulant being worked on in their Tacoma lab within the next five days. In return, the Mr. Johnson would pay them 20k (or 19991 nuyen for Geodesic, who insisted on a numerically significant paycheck) and some recreational substances. While the lab's address was offered, the J gave the team no info on the lab's security, corporate structure, or even the name of the substance they were supposed to be acquiring (though he agreed to pay them anyway if they could prove that the lab didn't have a stimulant project on file, since he was that confident in his source).

Samael - In retrospect, accepting a run when my veins were screaming for me to give in was perhaps not the best of ideas. I am uncertain where the balancing line in this life is between rigid discipline and the use of, as our Mr. Johnson called them, performance enhancers, exist; I do not regret the choices I made during the surveying run, but I am finding the length of their after effects a bitter taste in my mouth. Still, despite being at... shall we say less than my best, we were able to accomplish the job as a clean run. Not a single bullet fired, not a single innocent harmed, outside of one gentleman who is going to have to explain to his wife why he was suddenly in a hotel across town. Despite the... surface level frustrations... with Stacey, she seems remarkably competent, Joule's support magic was vital for the run to succeed, and despite Geodesic's love of chaos, when it counted, she came through with the formula needed for us to complete the run.
