Summary
The runners steal a new space shuttle prototype and are confronted by the UCAS military. After a heated battle in the clouds, Canter finally manages to land the bulky space shuttle on a Renraku aircraft carrier.
Background
Pinklady, an AI working for Renraku, has a penchant for analyzing data to identify potentially interesting targets for Shadowruns. During one of her analyses, she stumbles upon a two-day maintenance period at Federated Boing in Seattle Everett. Further data indicates that a new prototype space shuttle is currently being tested there. Pinklady wants to acquire this space shuttle for Renraku and their data makes it clear - this should be an easy job after all the security equipment is in maintenance. But the AI overlooks the fact that Federated Boing has signed a contract with the UCAS military to secure their facility.
The Meet
Pinklady has ordered the runners to the Dazze. She is shown in a conference room in AR and tries not to hide the fact that she is an AI. She explains her task to the Runners, but offers very little Nuyen for it, because she thinks it is an easy task. The runners negotiate with the AI who finally agrees to pay more and also to give a discount on selected goods. She would have been interested in collecting more data about the runners as she likes to play with data for future runs but Canter could convince her not to do it. The Runners finally agree and start planning. Pinklady gives them coordinates over the sea where they should fly the space shuttle and then report to her.
The Plan
Bannerette makes contact with Miyuki. The AI agrees to collect data for the Runners about the Federated Boeing site, but refuses to actively participate in the Run. Miyuki, however, is able to provide the Runners with valuable information about the disabled security systems and the deployed UCAS forces, including a heavy assault team with battle tanks stationed at the site. The Runners then decide to visit the site and find out that patrols with ghosts are running along the perimeter fence to secure the area. After some discussion, they reject the idea of a social infiltration and decide to sneak or drive onto the site, thanks to Canter. They also take a large amount of explosives to blow up the battle tank before it becomes a problem.
