Summary
Where the Gianelli Family decides to send a message to the Octagon by stealing some tasty seafood from a private yacht.
Background
The Octagon has a luxurious yacht, a Blohm & Voss Classic 111, which is currently headed back to the Tacoma Docks in Seattle, bearing a fresh load of fish and other seafood delicacies from the northern waters. Antonio “Vice” Vecce would like to impress his boss and Consigliere of the Gianelli Family, Tony “The Chef” Gianelli by taking that fresh fish for the family restaurant and flicking the nose of the Octagon. He has “chartered” a boat and hired some runners to stick it to the Triad, and maybe come back with a little something more, if they have the stones to pull it off.
The Meet
The runners each receive an invite to the Family owned restaurant "Il Formaggio Grande", from their respective fixers, with the promise of a lucrative job in the offering. Seeing an opportunity to profit from their respective skills, each in turn makes their way to the restaurant, Triple Trouble arriving late after a luxurious nap. Most encounter little difficulty upon arrival, but Zenith manages to rile the guard up a bit with some verbal shenanigans, while Ca1yps0 soothes the savage beast when it is revealed that he is a huge fan of her work. Nonplussed, the group enters the restaurant to be seated with none other than Antonio "Vice" Vecce, Capo of the Gianelli Family with an up and coming attitude destined to climb the ranks. Offering them all food and refreshments, Vice quickly gets to the heart of the matter, explaining that he want s the crew to hit an Octagon owned yacht, steal their fresh catch, paint it with signs of the Ragers and Spikes, and try and breach the secret rooms to gather whatever is contained within them. He further explains that he really doesn't want any civilian casualties, but understands that if security is tight the runners will do what they have to to survive.
To make the job easier to accomplish, Vice has "procured" a Sea Ray Cottonmouth for the runners, the fastest and stealthiest thing on the ocean waves. It has two mounted gun ports, each sporting HMG’s, but again he cautions them for doing any serious damage to the ship itself. The Ship will arrive in port in roughly 3 days, so he suggests that they intercept it well before then as security measures will be extremely overwhelming at that point. The Cottonmouth has tracking systems in place to follow the trajectory of the ship quite effectively, and if no one has the piloting skill, it comes with its own autopilot software. This should be an easy smash and grab, albeit on the open sea.
As far as expected threats, he explains that while the ship itself is capable of carrying over 100 people, it currently has a skeleton crew to a small security detachment, and a few guests. Exact numbers are unknown, but he does expect that the security team will be no slouch at open combat on a water vessel, and the standard camera systems and motion sensors will apply. With regards to the private safe, he can only expect that it will be tough to crack, and really has no idea what is being concealed inside. Not cracking the safe is not a deal breaker but will result in the loss of the bonus in nuyen.
