Summary
The runners were hired by a vampire to intercept a package and make sure it didn't reach its destination. Proteus was moving a roughly human sized crate from San Diego to its compound in Los Angeles. The package would be en route through underwater tunnels.
The runners successfully stopped the guards carrying the package. Four guards dead. One crate exploded deep underwater under Los Angeles. Mission success.
Background
Much of Los Angeles is underwater. It is also a community where runners live stream their runs.
Proteus was moving some kind of living infected creature in a chem sealed crate.
On a prior run, see report, Moth had managed to steal a submersible tank from Ares Macrotechnology and gave it as a gift to the UCAS Navy.
The Meet
They met the Johnson at a club in downtown Seattle. She knew the crate was going to be moving from San Diego to Los Angeles in the next week. She didn't know when, or by what route. She offered very little information about the crate beyond that it would be chem sealed. She offered 18,000 nuyen and could not be swayed to pay more, but did agree to cover expenses.
They needed to make their way down to Los Angeles. She could provide tickets on commercial planes if they wanted, and would provide a rapid evacuation when the job was done. They'd have to be careful to not take more than they could carry.
The Plan
Moth called Lt.Cmdr Yennefer Kerrigan and obtained use of the submersible tank since the job would be done deep underwater - an environment none of them were familiar with. Of the group, only Dandy could swim with any skill.
Relay would drive them down so they could smuggle their guns, drugs, and other supplies.
Using the Johnson's expense account, they each bought a dry suit and they bought 500 feet of universal connector cable so they could stay in communication underwater. (Though they would forget to use it...)
In order to determine how to track and intercept the package, Moth and Relay team worked some matrix searches, taking advantages of his vehicle's browse-enabled matrix link. They determined that...
