Summary
The team was hired to extract Marion Warner, a doctor working for Ares who was working on a BTL program designed to control the emotions of Ares employees who took issue with the company's "new direction". They met the Johnson at a bar in the Barrens, and stocked up on some supplies before flying to Detroit. They installed their burner sins in the employee directory, got the target's comm code
Background
Ares had been installing headware in employees to "maintain morale" in the face of their employers plotting world infestation, aided by Dr. Marion Warner, a brilliant medical researcher.
The Meet
The runners met up with the Johnson, a female human ex-Firewatch operator, at a Vory bar in the Redmond Barrens. They were briefed on the target's location, a large hospital in Detroit, and his familial status (he had no relatives in the facility but had a daughter working for KE in New York). The Johnson provided transportation and gave them a couple days to prepare before shipping out.
The Plan
Archivist broke into the hospital's host's HR data node, acquired Dr. Warner's comm code, and installed the runners' burner SINs as Ares employees. Burn0ut and Messenger 7 were security, John Brown was a doctor, and Archivist was IT. This was supported with a Fashion spell to turn Messenger 7's riot gear into something that looked like regular corpsec armor. After inserting those records, Archivist rebooted and broke into the Security node, where he changed the schedule to send all the best security on vacation the day of the run. Then, he attempted to copy the hospital's blueprints, but failed to disarm a data bomb and nearly got his deck bricked, as well as alerting the demi-GODs of the system. John Brown purchased a Rating 6 area jammer to keep the doctor from being tracked and the group made their way to the facility.
