Summary
The runners received short notice of a job in the Puyallup area. They arrived with only the clothes and gear they had with them while relaxing in the area, not expecting work. The job was to deliver four large crates of food from a Taco Temple to a dangerous location in Hell's Kitchen. The runners had a tight timeline to cross very hazardous environments, partially in a vehicle and partially on foot.
They reached the delivery point in time, but did not initially find a customer. Instead, they were attacked by a giant monster crocodile, which they eventually killed.
They survived the fight and found the crocodile's handler, who was unconscious from having his leg bitten off by the creature. They stabilized him, and took him to the Deireadh An Tuartheil hospital in Tarislar. He woke on the way and shared a little more information.
The runners were paid for making the delivery timely.
Background
Moth had recently witnessed a massive delivery of a 1,000 nuyen of Taco Temple food to a nearby house in the Bell-Red neighborhood. That delivery was a prank. It seemed like there was a good chance this similarly large order might also be a prank, or shed some light on to who had played the first prank.
The Meet
The meet was at the Taco Temple in Puyallup. This particular Taco Temple is patronized by a variety of local gangs, and functions as a kind of neutral territory. Rosco - a manager at the Taco Temple - who had a rainbow mohawk, piercings, and a 'Kiss the Cook' apron - let them know that the job was to deliver the four crates of food to an address in Hell's Kitchen. There was a very tight timeline, which began immediately.
Moth negotiated more money for the job.
When it became clear the Johnson had hired four runners none of whom had a vehicle present that would fit the crates, he also agreed to let them take a Taco Temple delivery truck (to be driven by one of their drivers) as far as could be traveled by vehicle. Much of the trip would have to be made on foot because of the unstable lava field and toxic water.
The Plan
The runners studied the map. They needed to find the shortest path in order to make the demanding timeline. With some analysis, they realized the fastest route was to dip through Salish-Shidhe Council lands to the immediate south, if they could expedite the border crossing. Luckily, the Laesa syndicate routinely quickly smuggled drugs and telesma across that border, and Moth was able to get help from her father XX to identify a contact at the border crossing who flagged them through in minutes.
