Summary
Gathered on short notice, a team of runners interrupts a 404 transport, using an illusion and brute force to wipe out the 404s and recover a powerful AI, stored in a wireless-off advanced box.
Background
The criminal 404s seem to be gathering odd bits of tech, bringing them through the I-90 into Redmond to evade KE. Spider has a line on their next move, but can't assist personally thanks to legal issues surrounding the death of her father.
The Meet
The meet took place on the matrix, as Spider's persona frightened Howler significantly. As Spider was preoccupied by the legal proceedings following her father's death, she required assistance intercepting the 404s, who were shipping unknown materials through the 202 and Redmond Fall City. While some members of the team (in particular the Woman From Another Place) were apprehensive about the potential of encountering a Deus fragment, they accepted the job in exchange for an unknown, but assured, payday.
The Plan
Working La Rapide's contact King HumungaMax, the team gathered themselves near the 202. They schemed to use an illusion from Howler to slow their vehicle down, then attack it with overwhelming force.
The Run
While the 404s' rigger attempts a few unexpected stunts, Janitor Dan successfully slows them down enough to disable their hatchback, and the team piles on as Elsewhere tackles their decker. While the 404s do their best, eventually a grenade disables their main force, and their toothy drones fail to accomplish much before being completely destroyed. La Rapide braves the burning wreck to recover the 404's cargo, a mysterious box.
