Summary
The runners are hired by a Johnson who wants to extract a decker from a corp, so he can go work for a 2nd corp that the Johnson is helping. What is planned as a careful social infiltration turns into a high speed rescue when the target promptly gets himself caught!
The runners know the target is in a shipping container with limited oxygen. He's on one of three vehicles, or at a warehouse. They confirm after checking the 2nd vehicle that he is at the warehouse, and rescue him in time.
Background
Their target, a cheerful and perhaps overconfident dwarf, was working as the chief of security for Microtech. He wanted to work for BioGen instead.
Their Johnson was tasked by BioGen with arranging his extraction. BioGen specializes in SINs and helping people disappear. If he can just get to BioGen, they think they can make it impossible for Microtech to find him to re-capture him.
The Meet
The runners met the Johnson at an apartment complex, where she has an office accessible through a secure elevator. She explains the situation, and offers to get them in touch directly with the target to plan the op. As the chief of security, he has the information they need to plan a subtle rescue. He is in a very secure workplace where he works in the basement and lives in the tower. He is always watched. There is considerable security, including that the area he can best be extracted from is only ever accessed by four other people. But he can make the team IDs with those four peoples pictures and the team's biometrics so they can get through.
The Johnson sets up a secure drop, via a host, so he can take the biometric information, and hand off camera feed, floor plans, schedules, dossiers on the four targets, and the other information they will need to plan the extract.
The Plan
The first plan was the subtle social infiltration. They could get in using disguises and the fake IDs coded to their biometrics. But, they'd need to plan for a hotter exit, given all the security controls.
This plan went out the window when the promised camera feed instead showed the target being locked in a shipping container. He was unconscious.
Luckily, he'd included his implanted stealth tag in the other files sent. Santesso had the skills to track the stealth tag, with support from Moth and Rabbit. The target was in a vehicle driving south, from Bellevue to Tacoma.
