Background
The Cook, a notorious and well connected kingpin in the Emerald Sprawl, decided to make millions by entering a popular market, deep sea salvage, but in a new way, with industrial purpose tritium. How that's helpful is unclear, but everyone understands nuyen, so when he called upon some of his best assets to acquire him some, they didn't have much in the way of objections.
Meet
The meet was a tense one, a false, hollow imitation of warmth, filled with jackal smiles and red hand shakes. The Cook met Xianyang and 5n0w at the End of the Earth club (Grave Walker arrived late, although none of The Cook's men would utter a word of criticism to her.) and he treated his employees to a pleasant dinner of buffalo wings while explaining to them in a chilling, inhuman tone their objective: intercept a Maser Industrial Electronics transport truck in Seattle, carrying a shipment of industrial use tritium bullion, and bring the contents to The Cook's safe house in Redmond.
Run
Echo first called her contact, Mirage, in order to set up a meeting to explain the situation to Holly Nicholson. The team convinced Holly that the data she had connecting the Arch-Conservative Party to Operation Daybreak was real, her life was endangered by various factions and she needed to publish this information. They arranged to pick her and contacted Septu who arranged a safe house in the basement of Max's Ironworks in Auburn.
The team drove to a downtown Soybucks where they encountered a gathering of the rollerblading/political activist gang Enduring Resistance where an Ares Global Media photographer was secretly recording Holly's involvement with the gang. Luckily, Phantom bricked the reporter's camera, avoiding tieing the team to Holly. Then a KE car started following them, as Holly was under surveillance. Phantom forced the cop car to pull over via hacking.
Once at the safe house, Holly started calling other political parties to get comments on the story which alerted these factions to here actions. Ares Global Media launched their smear stories against Holly before she could publish. Then the NullNode runners Tide, Snap, Callous and Ruthless captured 17 Enduring Resistance members and called Holly. The team stood stonefaced and Holly slowly realized that is was the story or her friend. Since these runners were mandated to ensure the story got published, her friends were dead. Echo pushed away Dolphins pleads to help those in need. A few hours later, the shocking story got published on KSAF.
Aftermath
while the story was damaging to Brackhaven and the Arch-Conservative Party, it was reduced to a mere inconvenience by the successful smear campaign by Ares, instead of causing a black eye to Brackhaven's party. However, the results of this run have people in Seattle asking questions and started to the chain of events that would lead to Brackhaven's fall.
