Summary
The runners were thrust into a business dispute between Renraku and Saeder-Krupp over ownership of stolen cyberware and bioware crates, which was stolen by the Fircrist Surgeons, a thrill gang of deranged surgeons. After a brief scouting and confrontation which resulted in the death of one of the gangers and brief paralysis of two runners, the group easily gained access to the garage where the crates were stored, giving the supplies to the Saeder-Krupp official.
Background
A shipment of cyberware and bioware was stolen on Renraku property, prompting them to launch an investigation and claim the shipment was their own. This ignited a dispute with the local Krupp administrator, who disputed this claim on behalf of her company. Additionally, for an unknown reason, the Matrix Grid had a dead zone within a considerable portion of Tacoma, where the Fircrist Surgeons absconded with the three crates, hiding out in their three-story hospital of horrors.
The Meet
The runners arrive on scene, passing through Renraku security with no issue. After some brief recollection on the other runners, Dr. Vega was recognized for her distinguished career as a cutting-edge bio-medical researcher, and Reign was identified as a DocWagon coordinator and charity volunteer. Talking to the Johnson, the dispute became apparent to the runners, at which point both representatives attempted to sway the runners to deliver the shipment to their corporation. The runners decided to change Johnsons to Monika Angermeyer, the Krupp official, who provided them with the name and territory of the gang.
The Plan
After securing an advance on the payment, the group funded an ambulance for Dr. Vega in order to aid in transporting the crates while Hysteria did a brief astral projection to locate the building, finding a terrifying augmented metahuman and a strong ward protecting the building. Meanwhile, Reign invented a massive bomb. Once the building's location was discovered, Kong infiltrated the building, taking pictures and learning the layout, spotting two of the crates before returning to the group. After a discussion, it was revealed that Hysteria possessed powers over the mind, and that luring them out to abduct a ganger and learn the location of the last crate was decided to be the plan they would go with.
The Run
Dr. Vega attempted to lure out a surgeon using a lie that someone was injured, and she urgently needed to acquire blood. The surgeon was reluctant, but proposed to buy this person instead. When Dr. Vega accepted, the surgeon called two more gangers and followed Vega, who led them to the ambulance parked a block away where the other members were waiting in ambush. After Hysteria infiltrated the minds of two of the surgeons, the last nurse, who was in fact an adept, attempted to kidnap the other members. After managing to paralyze Hysteria and Vega, she was killed by Kong with a sword. Though paralyzed, Vega calculated a dose of Gamma-Scopolamine to weaken the mind of one surgeon for Hysteria, still paralyzed, to infiltrate their memories. After pulling the location of the crates, which were in a garage attached to the building, and the code to said garage, the team managed to steal the crates, using Hysteria as a levitation forklift, without trouble.
Aftermath
The team delivered the crates to Monika, securing their payment without any issue.

What a humiliating affair, the surgeons will pay dearly for this.
Having a connection to the Dragon's thralls may prove auspicious.
Yet, there was a merit in this mire of disgust.

I hope we see her again, to perhaps peel back her layers and find the treasure beneath.
