Summary
Bilge-Rat Jones does piracy! And has strange ideas about how a boarding operation should be conducted.
Background
B-R Jones modified his boat into a rather strange boarding skiff, and hired some runners to go and do piracy.
The Meet
Due to the early hour of the morn in which the call was given, and the short time until the meet, the runners had to rush to arrive, Bollwerk crashing his bike and Bannerette running into some trouble with the police, but they managed to arrive on time. Heather, however, had poor luck with public transport, and arrived late.
Bannerette, who had sailed with Bilge-Rat Jones before, saw that he had heavily modified his ship, armouring it, upgrading the engine and adding cannons as well as a big red button, easy to fall on.
After assurances that B-R Jones would cover the runners if the job failed, the runners boarded the ship, B-R Jones returning to dock to collect Heather.
The Plan
Complicated plans and Bilge-Rat Jones aren't on the best of terms. The plan was limited to 'board this ship and steal things'.
The Run
After locating the ship and moving to an intercept course, Bilge-Rat Jones called to run out the bow-chasers and the spar torpedoes, and then Bannerette and Prince felled a guard with precision sniper fire on the approach.
Just before impact, B-R Jones smacked the big red button, and this activated a rocket booster that jumped the boat on top of the cargo ship. The guards were rather surprised, and the heavy firepower of the runners killed several of them in short order before the remaining surrendered, though Heather took a nasty burst from a shotgun and went down to Drain. However, during the fight, it was noticed that not only was the ship sinking due to having a twenty-metre-plus armoured boat dropped on it, the ship's fission reactor had been breached, and radioactive particles were leaking.
After hastily grabbing what they came for, the runners grabbed Heather and piled back on B-R Jones's boat, and he activate the rocket booster to bring them free, causing a major release of radioactive particles as he did.
Aftermath
The slightly radioactive runners made it back to shore after convincing the coast guard that they were rich idiots on a joyride.
