Summary
Background
Elizabeth Babbage has as an idea about how to earn some extra Nooj in addition to her meager G.I. salary: Get a weapons transport involved in an accident, declare the weapons-cargo beyond salvation, divert them before they get scrapped, sell, $ell, $$$$sell$$$$.
The Meet
Wlisabeth invites the runners to a bar outside of the Fort Lewis military base and explain that she needs the convoy of 3 vehicles: two transporters and one troop carrier to be disabled in a non-lethal accident during it's way from the harbor to Fort Lewis. To make it clear: no dead soldiers, and no harm to the shipped merchendise. As the runners accept the task, she offers 30 000 Nuyen or weapons worth the double price. The runners agree and ask for some pre-payment in form of explosives, anti-vehicle rockets, and smoke grenades.
The Plan
The runners have two days to plan the heist and spend the time finding the best ambus site along the transportation route, research how to best diable a roadmaster, and talk about general strategy. This takes less than half a day, and the result is: "Get on a roof-top, shoot the engine blocks of the vehicles and get out of here". The remaining time is spent "investing in future action" (aka. resting).
The Run
No Significant Harassment stays in the air ship, hooks the troop carrier with a winch and moves it out of the way, while Spectre stays on the ground, attacks and controls a spirit of man and a spirit of fire. The result is a huge fire-ball which toasts one of the transporters unusable and an electric discharge, which fries the electronics of the second transporter. From the roof-top, The Brazen Bull and Thunder unload large ammounts of armor piercing bullets onto the engines of the vehicles and disable the engine blocks of the two still functioning vehicles. As the military troops exit their hovering combat vehicle, they are struck by the devistation around them and magic from three spirits which make them flee.
After the runners confirm that the vehicles are all disabled, they disengage and fly away into the sunrise in the air ship.
