Summary
The runners steal experimental software on behalf of a mysterious archivist by running one of the oldest cons in the book.
Background
Archive Angel is a Heavenseeker relatively new to the scene. Through sheer chance she caught wind of a program that seemed able to bypass barriers between parts of the matrix, and theorized that if The Garden is in an inaccessible part of the matrix that this program might help her locate it. However, the program was stored on a wired dataterminal, leaving it safe from her hacking attempts all the way from Denver. So she hired a local team to do the job.
The Meet
The meet was virtual, in a secure VR conference room. Ms. Johnson outlined the job: stealing an experimental search program from unrated (but Horizon-owned) corp Singularity Inc.'s lab in Issaquah. The data the J needed was stored offline, necessitating the runners going in and getting physical access to the project. 3 days was the deadline given and 10k nuyen was floated as a reward, though Akuma bargained for the J's contact info and some extra data as a bonus.
The Plan
The runners met up in an Issaquah dive bar not far from the lab they planned to rob.

Vailrunner - "This hacking stuff just comes off so bizarre to me. I'm sure we're fine, but why do I feel like a horrific can of worms is going come of this?"
