Summary
Rush extraction job: The team retrieves a kidnapped gumshoe being transported to Amazonia by the Eighty-Eights Triad on a ship off the Puget Sound. Transport of the target is in progress so the time window is minimal.
Background
The team's respective fixers hit them up around midday: A newcomer on the scene is stomping up and down Bellevue and pulling strings, looking for a competent team of runners on a very short notice. The message is concise; Be at a location off the I-99 in Bellevue ASAP if you want to make good money.
The Meet
The Johnson's a pixie, and one in a hurry. This is an extraction job. The runners get to asking for details, and this is what they learn: The Eighty-Eights Triad have a boat currently rolling down the Puget Sound that's carrying a prisoner- A private investigator that got tangled up in some nasty business while trying to dig up the latest scoop. Get to the boat before it gets out of range and extract the hostage by any means necessary. Reward's a hot 20.000 nuyen.
The Plan
As the window of time for a succesful extraction was extremely small, planning had to be kept minimal. The decided course of action was to first have technomancer Sparrow poke around through the Ship's matrix connection, tangling with ICE and a triad spider in the process of shutting down its engines. In the meantime, the rest of the group would do a full assault on the ship with an Aztechnology Nightrunner borrowed from a K-E contact.
Once on the ship, the field team would flatten any opposition, extract the target at all costs, and get away fast as to avoid engagement with any HTR.
The Run
The run went about as planned: Sparrow tackled the Ship's cybersecurity succesfully and opened up the opportunity for the field to lay down fire without having to worry about any automated defenses. Out by the boat, Pack had a spirit of air airlift the team on-board, and Ikari sent two spirits of beast downrange to find triads to munch on. The rest of the team spread out and made quick work of the opposition. While LazorGrrl literally shrugged off automatic fire like she was made of steel (Which, to be fair, she is), Squid took some hefty stun damage during a shootout with two triad enforcers near the helm. With almost a dozen triad out of commission, the team was free to ransack the ship and finish the job.
Aftermath
Having searched out the ship, the team found the target and extracted her safely back to the mainland. The pixie-Johnson happily handed out a bonus for a job well done. Upon asking, it turned out the PI got caught up in some rival espionage business and had stumbled upon a paper trail that could've seriously compromised the Eighty-Eights' revenue stream. The evidence is gone now, but at least the PI's lived to tell about it.
