Summary

A Shadowrunner Crew are hired to help Cutters steal drugs and other fun stuff from Crimson Crush.

Background

A Drug Deal Between the Crush and Cutters is about to go bad. Unknownst the the Crush and the runners (until the end) the call was coming from inside the house. A Cutters Johnson pretends to be an Orc in order to trick the runners into attacking the Crush.

The Meet

The Crew meets with the Johnson who at first tries to sell them on a "training gig" where they attack a Crimson Crush gang in a bar in Redmond, using non-lethals. The crew is suspicious and after some prodding they realize that the Johnson wants something(s) in the bar. The Johnson still wishes for a non-lethal solution, and the runners agree after probing the Johnson for more money and some money up front.

The Plan

Zero hatches an omega galaxy-brain plan. Since the Crush will be in a building. She suggests gluing the doors shut with adhensive and then using pepper grenades to knock everyone out. The crew will hang around to make sure the plan goes off without a hitch.

The Run

After some low tier Matrix Searches from our 1 Resonance Technomancer (teehee). The crew decides to enact the plan. Epsilon learns via Matrix Perception that there is one camera watching the back door. A Rating 4 Camera. But just when it looks like its curtains for our technomancer, Epsilon does not fail once against their mortal enemy. With the Cameras looped and the door sealed shut, Korban, Zero, and Epsilon toss the grenades inside. The Chef actually manages to smash through the adhensive, but a Spirit summoned by Invictus stops the chef in their tracks, but then....

Gunfire erupts from the bar as the Crimson Crush panic and start shooting blindly....into each other. Epsilon starts bricking the guns that she can see on the Matrix, and that buys enough time for the gas to do its work.

The spirit sweeps in and finds John Crush, but between Nausea and other penalties, the spirit quickly knocks them out cold.

The crew is successful but has no time to celebrate. The Ancients arrive. They spot Epsilon and Invictus, but Invictus quickly uses his Influence powers to make them look the other way, sparing the Ancients from getting murdered by Epsilon (she can totally take them all).

The crew return to the Johnson

Aftermath

The Johnson reveals the Orc disguise is just that, and is a member of the Ancients, and that they wanted the drugs and guns the Crush had. The crew decides that a second complication merits more money and strong arm the Johnson for some gear rewards.

2000 Nuyen negotation bonus (0 RVP)
6 CDP (2 RVP)
