==The Meet==
The team gets contacted one by one by their respective fixers, pitching them a job with a group of people ready to pay for them to help. The team quickly regroups at the clinic of Doctor O+. There Doctor O+, the J, offers them 20 K nuyens, or double that in augmentations. No one in the team feel like negotiating a higher price with down on their luck ghouls, and so they accept.
The team get individually called up to Doctor O+'s clinic, where the job is explained to them. Doctor O+ was operating on a patient that sadly died during operation, he learnt however that another patient from a colleague of his in california need a new heart, and is entirely compatible. Unable to turn to any official service to save this man, he turns to our team to make the express delivery through multiple borders.
 
Doctor O+ explains to the runners that their people started disappearing in mysterious circumstances recently, and he got a lead he wanted capable people to follow up on. Indeed, somewhere in Puyallup he identified the place where a group of ghouls was abducted, notably because of the rushed job of astral cleansing that was done there, and sends the team to begin investigating.
 
Once there, Pell and Samsara studied the astral space and indeed found it badly masked, however no astral signature was to be found. In the meantime, Rabbit used her Fairlight deck to hack the cameras around the place, giving her an overview of the scene until a point where the recordings were obviously deleted.  Sp4rks inverstigated the markings on the ground and noticed they were clearly from a confrontation, with the help of everyone they managed to find tracks from a heavy vehicle, and they followed them untill the highway where street cameras led them to an Aztec temple, the car entering it's basement.

The team considers it's options : helicopters, forging papers, and passing through Tir or Salish. They quickly settle on using their contacts to get forged papers through Tir and take the heart container in Chariot's Armadillo, before taking off towards Puyallup, intending to pass the Seattle border through a known smuggler route next to the lava rivers.
Sp4rks wants to go in guns blazing but Samsara prefers to do some recon before. Pell projects and analyzes their magic defenses, finding they are low outside of some wards and a BGC of 2 aspected to the Aztec religion. Sp4rks and Rabbit dive into the matrix, in search of interesting data, they rezz in a destination host and spot a Data host nested inside. They do not waste time entering it, and rezz in what looks like a prison corridor, here Sp4rks search for incriminating data about blood sacrifice, and finds an interesting file. As he goes to open it, Rabbit spots a databomb on it and gives him a heads up just in time, he proceeds to defuse and decrypt the file, raising the host's alarms.
 
Rabbit, as soon as the alarm sounds up throws up a Biofeedback laden data spike at the spider, killing him instantly. With the file, Sp4rks now drops back in the destination host as Rabbit jacks out, There he proceeds to have an intense cybercombat with a demi-GOD before Rabbit rezzes in again and uses an oversight in it's duellist defenses to data spike the demi-GOD, killing him.
 
Sp4rks proceeds to draw the incriminating file on every AR and trid projectors he can see, the building quickly shuts down and the team decides to walk in, passing for interested parties worried about those news about the temple.

Travelling through the lava streams of the mount Rainier proved pretty easy, however the group noticed on the astral a powerfull spell was cast in the area. They chose to ignore it and continue on when three fire spirits manifested in the car. The team reacted quickly, quickly disrupting one and grievously injuring another causing they to flee the fight and leave the team be on their way.


Knocking at the door, they are received by an initiate of the temple, who they manage to convince to give them a tour. During the tour, some team members notice a hidden door, and inquire about it to the initiate. He is legitimately confused at it, as he never knew about such a door, but Rabbit convinces him by appealing to it's mentor spirit dragonslayer, to let them pass do their thing, to which the initiate responds well. Samsara promptly punches the door open and the group pass through, finding an elevator behind.
They get as fast as possible to Tir's border, where the team's sins are checked and some surface level credential checks are made, but the fake papers do their job and they are welcomed in the elven nation. During their traversal however the team picks up a signal from nearby woods, Sp4rks identifies it's source as Segfault, a technomancer he met on an earlier run. They team quickly receives a message saying "Give us the livery !" from her as an helicopter silhouette makes itself seen over the trees.


Getting down, the group opens up the bottom elevator doors to a prison-looking place, with ghouls behind bars, clearly being experimented on. Quickly, the sound of an HTR team approaching made themselves heard and the team prepared for a fight. The team was composed of 4 gunmen and one Aztechnology blood mage, who try as he might never managed to stab anyone.
A ferocious fight ensues on every front, during which only the OpFor's mage was knocked out, to cut their losses they just pulled away, outside of Sniper Rifle range but still following the team. Soon enough it reached the outgoing border of Tir and the destination hospital, where they managed to drop off the heart in preem shape before the enemy helicopter landed on the helipad and found the team in the hospital. A short but tense confrontation followed where the team pieced together what happened. The OpFor had traced back the astral signature of one of their runaway employees to this heart, and thought we were smuggling the employee away when he actually died on Doc O+'s table.
 
The initiate ended the fight pretty beautifully by casting a huge fireball in the middle of the Aztechnology HTR gunmens, dropping them and making it look easy at that, the only OpFor still alive in the end was the blood mage, unconscious and bleeding out. Not being worth saving, Samsara killed him off before the team used the very van the OpFor used to abduct ghouls to liberate them from their cages and bring them back home.

Summary

In which a commune of Ghouls employs runners to smuggle the heart of a recently deceased S-K defector to a dying patient in California, from Doctor O+'s clinic in Seattle.

Background

The Meet

The team get individually called up to Doctor O+'s clinic, where the job is explained to them. Doctor O+ was operating on a patient that sadly died during operation, he learnt however that another patient from a colleague of his in california need a new heart, and is entirely compatible. Unable to turn to any official service to save this man, he turns to our team to make the express delivery through multiple borders.

The Plan

The team considers it's options : helicopters, forging papers, and passing through Tir or Salish. They quickly settle on using their contacts to get forged papers through Tir and take the heart container in Chariot's Armadillo, before taking off towards Puyallup, intending to pass the Seattle border through a known smuggler route next to the lava rivers.

The Run

Travelling through the lava streams of the mount Rainier proved pretty easy, however the group noticed on the astral a powerfull spell was cast in the area. They chose to ignore it and continue on when three fire spirits manifested in the car. The team reacted quickly, quickly disrupting one and grievously injuring another causing they to flee the fight and leave the team be on their way.

They get as fast as possible to Tir's border, where the team's sins are checked and some surface level credential checks are made, but the fake papers do their job and they are welcomed in the elven nation. During their traversal however the team picks up a signal from nearby woods, Sp4rks identifies it's source as Segfault, a technomancer he met on an earlier run. They team quickly receives a message saying "Give us the livery !" from her as an helicopter silhouette makes itself seen over the trees.

A ferocious fight ensues on every front, during which only the OpFor's mage was knocked out, to cut their losses they just pulled away, outside of Sniper Rifle range but still following the team. Soon enough it reached the outgoing border of Tir and the destination hospital, where they managed to drop off the heart in preem shape before the enemy helicopter landed on the helipad and found the team in the hospital. A short but tense confrontation followed where the team pieced together what happened. The OpFor had traced back the astral signature of one of their runaway employees to this heart, and thought we were smuggling the employee away when he actually died on Doc O+'s table.

Well, that was a bit of excitement caused by a misunderstanding(?). I'm glad that we didn't put down the other team that were after the heart's donor.
