Summary
MCT contracts a group of runners do steal something from an armored truck piloted by an Brain in a jar rigger. The catch? The Brain in the jar can't know off the bat that the theft was successful
Background
FedBo creates a new experimental mana-battery, and MCT wants it for what can only be good reasons, this narrator assumes. However, MCT wishes to do more than just steal it, they want to do some electronic warfare as well. And also absolve their hands of the blame. And so the runners enter the picture
The Meet
The runner meets at a seedy Dive Bar. Where the Johnson gives the details. There is a armored truck leaving a FedBo facility to another location, and the runners have to hit the convoy and steal a precious cargo in the back. However, the Johnson not only wants the cargo, but also wishes for it to be swapped a la Indiana Jones. Because the swap has to be convincing, the caveat is that the on-board brain (OBB) can not know that the back of the car is breached. The Johnson gives the hacker of the group, Epsilon (God help us all), a chip that if downloaded onto the OBB, would cause it to forget enough memories for the OBB to not report the loss of the battery, provided the crew is able to upload the virus.
The Plan
The Crew decides, after a ton of discussion. To first obtain details of the car. And decide to raid the FEDBO facility in order to get speccs on the car. With Epsilon running Matrix Security, Limitless and Lanky manage to sneak into the facility. And Epsilon and Intercession run a sensor sweep on the vehicle once the stealth pair find it. They find out that the car lacks a motion sensor, but has at least an Assault Cannon. The pair plan a course of action. To cause traffic on the highway and force the vehicle into a section of road where it can be ambushed. Lanky will infiltrate the vehicle from the top, while the others assualt the convoy as loudly as possible so that the the OBB doesn't notice Lanky
