Summary
Something is brewing in the shadows. Syndicates are getting antsy, and the forces behind the scene are arming themselves. Amidst all this, personal interests of those caught up in the rains of change might just come under light again. The events of this night were simply another drop from the clouds that foretold of the storm to come.
Background
The White Vory have begun mobilizing again it would seem, according to one Red Vory constituent and her informants. They had been smuggling small time under the Red Vory like the rats they are for some time now, but the Red have realized that now they've gone from simply delivering goods for profit to arming themselves. Including one particular shipment which they didn't want reaching their destination. So, what do you do when you don't have a lot of details to go on and don't want to risk too many resources at once?
Hire Shadowrunners to do it for you.
The Meet
The team was assembled at met up - with varying degrees of issues - at a bar over in Tacoma. A nice place to be all things considered, but the team was feeling all business tonight. The four met with their J for the evening and got the rough details of the job: That there was going to be a shipment docking somewhere in Tacoma that they'd have to deal with, arriving sometime around 5-6am given the panic that the White Vory were in about it all, and which they would have to make sure those traitorous assholes never received. Either by destroying it or snagging some extra cash by getting it over to her. Speaking of which, the strong woman offered about 10k each for the team of four, which Tsarina was obviously going to try and milk for more, ending up with a deal for other weapons, ammunition, and drugs the team could get from the Red's own stash. Once the job was done, they'd contact the J and, if they had the shipment, meet her at a drop off point over in Puyallup to hand the goods off. With that, they were off to the races.
The Plan
The first step was going to be to narrow down the avenues for where the Vory were going to make this docking and prepare to either infiltrate or bust them down midway through the fight. The recon would be a job between Tsarina and Exodus, with NSH helping Klom get his heavier weapons across the borders of the Sprawls.
Once the dock was located, and if they got there ahead of schedule, Exodus would take out one of the fodder and replace them, and try to get on the shipment vehicle. From there, she'd help hijack the vehicle from the inside with the team supporting outside, and they'd either commandeer the thing or just offload it into NSH's obscene "boat" to carry away.
If they either failed to find the dock in time or found it when the offloading from the boat was happening, the team would go in loud with an ambush to handle things the old fashioned way. Kill anyone who resists, take what they need, and book it. But this wasn't preferred.
