Summary
And never sleeping again |
Spray, Pray, and Co-Pay ended badly for Neznayka. With her delivery to the White Vory imminent, she signals her fixer and friend, Chloe Green. Hopefully, she can find good help in time...
Background
Once upon a time, a clinic in Redmond was beset by street gangers, who held the patients within hostage, demanding payment. Through subterfuge, fast talking, and some very quiet shooting, a team of runners liberated the hostages. Unfortunately, the gang in question would have continued to apply pressure on the clinic, and so one Neznayka offered herself - and the White Vory bounty on her head, set by her father - up in exchange.
Now, a scant few hours remain to rescue Neznayka before she takes an economy ocean cruise to Russia.
The Meet
One by one, the runners each get called by Chloe Green, and are informed that they're lucky enough to be someone that Neznayka trusts enough to help her. They are given a general idea of what dock the Vory they're looking for could be using, and a cabin at which to meet up with their co-workers.
Of course, no Johnson awaits the runners at their cozy cabin meetup. Saint and Oberon arrive first, followed by Red Ribbon and Insonia. Venomous glares are delivered to the latter two of the group by Saint, who certainly hasn't forgotten Ribbon's wrongdoings, and doesn't take kindly to Insonia's Ancients regalia.
Now all together, the runners put their heads together to try and pull something out of this mess.

The plan begins with scouting and research.

Red Ribbon
God, no, I don't want to think about that run. That was already threatening to go wrong one of eight ways, and I somehow managed to find the secret ninth way to frag it up. I don't know how Oberon survived being shot to pieces, but I'm glad that his death's not on my head, because it sure as hell would have been if he'd stayed down.
Next time, I'm going to get visual confirmation on our target. No more assumptions. No more stupid fights. Someday that's going to get all of us killed.
What? Yeah, we got Nez back alright. I should be happy about that? I am. Look at me! Just grinning from ear to ear.
...seriously, I am.

[The sound of medical EKGs beeping, and the muffled roar of engines and gunfire behind it. Plastic and glass clatter against one another, as if the location itself is shaking and moving. A machine voice similar to that found in the smart First Aid kits common among consumer triage units reads out probable prognoses.]
"Nez..." [speaker, a dull-sounding woman, audibly sniffs] "... Please stay with me..."
[The sound of a muffled explosion.]
