Summary

The runners found out at the meet that the Johnson was was Bold of the City Watch. The vigilante super hero was trying to take down Agent Orange, a toxin producing supervillain, who had recently caused a dangerous explosion at Tacoma mall.

He needed runners to infiltrate Agent Orange's secret lair. A heavily locked down toxin production faculty in the Barrens. Word was that Agent Orange was using a recruiter, Jimmy 8 Fingers to bring on some more villian hench man. And that meant the proud hero needed some criminals to do the infiltration who could get hired on. The mission was to get to the security terminal and apply a data chip that would introduce a virus. And to get video footage of the whole thing. For a cash bonus.

The runners tracked down Jimmy 8 Fingers at a seedy drive-in in Puyallup. He said he'd take them to the property the next day.

This presented a challenge - with Jimmy driving them through the terrible environmental hazards, they could see it was very dangerous and challenging to navigate. And, they didn't have a vehicle of their own, since they were riding in Jimmy's jeep. A problem to solve...

And the ride in was dangerous! They were attacked by fire spirits.

The runners did minion jobs - loading boxes, preparing weapons, lots of scut work. But it helped them learn, and put together a plan.

It took a lot of distraction, stealth, and clever fast talk, but they got the data chip in place.

And Moth convinced a smuggler delivering a shipment to be their ride out of the area, earning a new contact in D'Auriel Peirson.

They got out clean, and got paid.

Background

The City Watch wanted to take down Agent Orange. He was a threat to the city. He'd already blown up a mall. He was a terrible danger.

And Horizon underwrites them. The idea of using runners to infiltrate a supervillain's lair was also a chance to get camera footage for Horizon's live superhero feed store.

Agent Orange had created a lair with tremendous physical security. Many rooms. Air locks. A powerful custom neurotoxin flooding some rooms as a trap.

The Meet

Bold had the runners meet him at an abandoned warehouse in Puyallup. His disdain for criminals was apparent.

With some negotiation, it was agreed the runners would get ¥20,000 each. The last ¥2,000 of that was for each person to have a person video feed of all of the action.

The runners realized they had an option: get recruited as themselves, or disguise themselves.

Yata was comfortable being herself, and lending her street cred to the operation.

Everyone else decided to take advantage of Itztli and Moth's amazing disguise skills and equipment.

The mission was clear: Get recruited; infiltrate the based; find the security terminal; put the datachip in the terminal; turn in the proof (video feed) to the Johnson.

Rewards

• ¥20,000

• 2 CDP
• Option to buy D'Auriel Peirson as a Loyalty 1 contact.
