Summary
The runners team up with Holly Rogers And Crew to end Renraku's newest crime against metahumanity.
Background
Renraku, seeking to get ahead in the 6th world corporate arms race, turned to a classic strategy, twisted and mad experiments. Using the removed brains of children, they discovered a way to make cyborg soldiers, encasing the operator almost entirely in steel. While effective, it's monstrous. These actions drew the attentions of Holly and her team. A previous run in the past had damaged their efforts, but still, Renraku carried on with their plans. Using her shadowrunner skills, she managed to discover the facilities used in the program. The first was a cloning station. Renraku, moving beyond simple child abductions, built the infrastructure to grow brains to serve as the neural material for the cyborgs. Only the brains. The other facility that they found was a training grounds for the newly created cyborgs. Doubtless, they figured there would have to be some horrid brainwashing and conditioning programs to make this plan possible.
Disgusted by what she had seen, Holly knew she had to put a stop to this. Unfortunately, her crew, while effective, was only one runner team. To make sure that both facilities would be destroyed, they'd have to be in two places at once. To solve this problem, she decided to contract out, hiring a second team of runners. Sending out the call, Holly got drunk, probably.
The Meet
The runners were called to an interesting location, a pirate themed pub. Seeming to try to capture an accurate pirate aesthetic, while at the same time being child friendly, it failed at both. Regardless, it fit the theme of their invitation, "Friendly Pirates". Heading inside, the team was waved into a back room that seemed to hold more alcohol and more drugs. Samsara, having previously worked with the pirate runners, approached them with a wave. Inviting the runners to their table, they were quick to offer alcohol and assorted drugs.
Peer pressure can be a potent thing and soon a large part of the team was intoxicated. Holly tried to offer drink to Swerve repeatedly, one of her crew even offering magical aid to get over her mysterious alcohol allergy. The situation somewhat awkward, she and Rabbit managed to fend them off, promising a party after the job to celebrate their success.
As the group partied, and drank, and drugged, and partied, and so on for about an hour, Holly remembered that she was a J that night. Focusing past the haze, she haphazardly moved towards a job briefing. She relayed information on what Renraku was up to, as well as the targets they needed to hit, offering the team their choice. The only real condition was that they had to attack at the same time, and destroy the place utterly to seriously hamper their works. In return, they'd do a good thing and also be paid a hefty reward in the form of golden doubloons.
The team discussed this for a bit, and ultimately chose to hit the cloning facility. As the conversation continued though, Samsara reached a moral crisis. Samsara, having been meditating on the proper use of violence and going through her own tribulations with revenge, did not like the idea of killing the people involved with the facility. Even though they did evil in the past, surely their talents could be turned towards a good cause? Growth is always possible, and who are we to take that away from them, acting as executioners driven by hate? The fact that she was both high on Novacoke and drunk also contributed. The sober members of the team tried to waylay her concerns and convince her of the necessary nature of the task, with a mixture of truth and deceit. After a while, a general agreement was made to proceed forward, with a promise to save whomever possible. The night of partying about done, the team departed to prepare for their journey a few days forward.
The Plan
The next day, as the hangovers and withdrawals from the night before set in, each of the team began to prepare in their own ways. They had decided last night to use Rabbit's submarine car to approach the coastal cloning facility, and Swerve had been on a run at sea before. Predicting potential issues, she went on a shopping trip for the team, going to grab life-vests, sealable plastic bags, and more reagents. Milliam, ran around, because.... reasons. Rabbit managed to arrange the explosives needed for the job, and finally, Samsara, blearily awakening after the prior night, talked with a very special person, her boyfriend Kenneth "Flamesaw" Murphy. Kenny, finding out about the run, asked to join up to put his sweet skills to work. Samsara, against her better judgement, but driven by his beautiful jawline, called the rest of the team for permission. Somehow, they agreed. It was time for Kenny to once again go to work.
