Summary
An old contact of Jane's named Paul Lens from her time in the military has an assignment for her. Jane accepts this and takes a little trip on the sea to a host and under the sea.
Background
Paul Lens is a successful dealer of not-quite-legal cyberware and bioware. To disguise his business activities, he has already founded three small companies and is actually doing quite well. In the past he has also provided Jane Excalibur with some updates for her cyberware. By a stupid coincidence, some of his goods (a box with several cyber limbs) were confiscated aboard the ship Hoppetossen. Unfortunately, Paul had to realize that this merchandise can be linked to several murder cases (you better check where you get your merchandise from). To protect his reputation, he decides to travel to Seattel to take care of the matter. The Hoppetossen is anchored in a small harbor in Seattle Everett. Due to the intervention of a clever lawyer, the proceedings are put on hold for the time being. Paul remembers that Jane Excalibur once mentioned that she wanted to move to Seattle, and since Paul himself once experienced what influence Jane can have on machines, he puts out feelers for her.
The Meet
Jane receives a call from Moria. Moria wants to know if Jane knows a Paul Lens. Jane can remember Paul. Moria gives her the address of a downtown cafe that is often used as a runner's hangout. Jane meets Paul there, who has gotten a little fatter (must be the stress). He explains to her the situation with the Hoppetossen and that he needs her help to steal or destroy the cyberware from aboard the ship and also to falsify the ship's cargo register to cover any traces. He offers 20,000 Nuyen as payment and also a discount on his goods if Jane is successful. Jane accepts the offer and gets right to work.
The Plan
Jane travels to the site and looks at the cordoned-off area physically and in the matrix. She can detect three guards and three drones. Through several matrix searches, she finds out that the security is provided by the Nightingale company. The data of the seized ships are backed up on a data host of the company. To retrieve the data from the archive, the ship must be activated. Nightingale has a 24/7 security spider support that is responsible for several hosts. Jane decides to come back that night and board the Hoppetossen by water to get the cyberware, activate the ship and then delete the data in the host. In the harbor there is currently a second seized ship, the McGree.
