Background

Ares wanted a few barrels worth of "product" shipped from Seattle to Detroit. Some "competing parties" have taken an interest.

Meet

The uneventful matrix meet clarified that the run was going to net the runners a decent sum of money, and the Johnson's willingness to chip in some AV ammunition was also a hint that heavy opposition might pop up. Meeting in the meat two days later, the runners were handed the keys to what seemed like an obvious pet project and the wet dream of a certain kind of rigger: A heavily modified semi, armored to the gills and slinging some big calibre lead. Pocketing some complimentary explosives, the team moves out right away. Leaving Seattle, on the border from UCAS and Salish-Shidhe, gridlocked before border controls, the team spotted a biker messing with their vehicle. When Marionette moved in to remove the shaped charge from the Mack Hellhound, he drew the attention of a border security officer, who in turn drew some lead from the budget hit squad. The team dispatched the gangers in a short firefight, triggering all sorts of alarms from the border. But thanks to the powerful constructions and engines of their ride, its ram plates and remote decker support, they were able to punch their land ship through to Salish-Shidhe territory.

None of the runners felt like negotiating when two black whirlybirds were rapidly gaining on them, and demanding surrender. Railroad kept the wheels turning and the air singing with lead, as initial attacks against the birds proved fruitless. As the HTR team began rappelling down from one black hawk, Nora noticed a glaring weakness in its armor: The open passenger doors allowed an HE grenade right into the chopper's interior, downing it on one hit. Rabbit meanwhile picked an appropriate size of weapon and shot the much tougher gunship down with an AV missile. A brief investigation of the wreckage reveals that OPFOR had their location data, and the team soon rids the Hellhound of a tracker. Things have just begun to wind down, when a thunderstorm gathers in the distance.

"Dear Freelancers," the posting said "I am in need of a few skilled people to make a discreet international delivery for me." Fragging discreet all right. It was some good fighting, though. It's kind of refreshing to run with Marion.
