Summary
Runners are called on to kick in the door on a Black Chrysanthemum drug operation by one Dora Kicker. Breach and entry follows, with multiple doors kicked baby.
Background
Knight Errant needs to run an op in Fairmont, and they need heat off of them. Informants have been able to point them towards a Black Chrysanthemum drug op in the area which can serve as cover for their other operations. That's where the runner team comes in - they take on the risk of the Triad retaliating, KE can claim that they rolled in after a drug-fueled shootout and claim a public win, and their covert ops in the area have a nice cover drawing eyes away.
The Meet
Dora Kicker awaits the runners in a Chinese tea shop. In they come - the dangerous bug-shaped summoner (who is not an insect shaman), the strict rabbitwoman with years of experience, three anthrodrones and their AR master Iron, and last to arrive - the bull in the China shop himself.
The runners are given a rundown of what they'll be doing and who they're up against. After some negotiations, mostly focused around the risk the runners take if the Triad learns their identities, the runners agree - and are provided floor plans. An assurance is also made that the police will be "too busy" to respond in a timely manner as long as the team doesn't force them to call in the SWAT teams.
Plan in hand, the team rolls out to the location.
The Plan
The team gathers some data before kicking the door in.
Iron knows that barred windows with drawn blinds mean that blindfiring inside is irresponsible. Crime dens are often lacking cameras inside, which means doing so could result in civilian damage.Standard breach and clear from room to room may be best. Drug dens often have unpredictable and varied individuals, controlling the back of the breaching squad can be important. The building is brick - sturdy but brittle. Explosives risk collapsing the entire thing, especially for an aging structure like this one.
Brazen Bull is able to recognize the target as Hong Tran. He's been seen at some of the more underground fight pits the bull fights in, usually peddling drugs. He's known for having wired up personal guards - twitchy, like they're badly installed. He's also often seen with a friend named Mickey Starstruck. After calling Doctor Wallace, he learns that any 'ware the Triads are using is likely from their own doctors - and likely sourced used from unscrupulous places.
Phototaxis and Iron form a plan together - breach a wall into one of the larger rooms that they suspect is most likely to contain the main manager, then breach and clear from there with shock and awe tactics.
The Run
The breaching charge goes off, and a flashbang is launched in by Phototaxis from the truck, her spirit placed at the entrance to stop runners from escaping.
