Summary
The 24 Karat Crew is ready to enter the big leagues and they've found the perfect heist to help accelerate their plans from transforming from a medium-sized Seattle gang into a multi-national syndicate. Runners were sent to retrieve a Corporate Court prototype device in Detroit. While the run went smooth it ended with a literal bang, the runners escaping with mere seconds to spare.
Background
Marcus "The King" Cole, leader of The 24 Karat Crew, found out about an experiment going on in Detroit regarding changing ownership of vehicles. Little did he know the true secrets behind the project.
The Corporate Court hired Ares Macrotechnology and Mitsuhama Computer Technologies to develop a device with the capability of changing ownership of devices, specifically vehicles, without following normal matrix protocols. Ares, with their knowledge of vehicles, and MCT, with their knowledge of the matrix, were well-suited for this task. A joint-venture named Advanced Vehicle Dynamics was chosen to be an incubator for the project. Nearing completion of the first prototype, the Corporate Court sent an enforcer, Pursess, to make sure deadlines were met.
The Meet
The runners met at The Pride, a nightclub in Touristville. Most of the runners were let in but Esper, being a known mental manipulator, was politely asked to wait outside. Inside the club the trio met Marcus Cole, leader of The 24 Karat Crew. He informed them of a job with a juicy reward: 50,000 nuyen. They were to head to Detroit and steal an "Ares prototype device", as well as any data the company had on the project so that they could replicate it aThe runners negotiated and successfully got the option to have The 24 Karat Crew use their pull to get them up to 100,000 nuyen in gear and the difference in credsticks. The gang was even so nice to arrange travel there
