Summary
Anata ga tsuyokunainara - kashikoku nari nasai. (Japanese for: If you are not strong, be wise.)
The Runners travel to the Korean jungle to kidnap a Red Samurai equipped with a new type of cyberware. In the jungle, they are also confronted by the Sons of Sauron who want to strike at Renraku's training facility. After a visit to the facility's host, the Runners are able to figure out a good spot to set an ambush. This leads to the successful extraction of the Red Samurai.
Background
Ares has discovered through a data theft that Renraku has very advanced cyberware (see: No legion but still deadly) that they have installed on some of their employees. Ares would like to benefit from this progress as well and get their hands on copies of this cyberware. Ares is also trying to understand how Renraku has secretly made these advances. With some effort, Ares was able to find out that Yuma Takahashi a Red Samurai was almost exclusively equipped with this new type of cyberware and that he is currently assisting in the training of Renraku Guards and Renraku Samurai at a hidden facility in the Korean jungle. Since overpowering and kidnapping a Red Samurai in this environment is a significant challenge, Ares decides not to hire just any runners for the job. Ares succeeded in proving Spider's guilt to Pursess (A Dragon Corporate Court enforcer / From_Lead_to_Gold) dead by analyzing data only available to them. Ares now wants to use this information via Daniel Hoffman to blackmail Spider into carrying out this mission for Ares.
The Sons of Sauron found out some time ago where this Renraku's training facility is located. Two units of the Hand of Sauron, as well as associated units on Road Nivo, were assembled as a result. Considerable funds have been spent to equip them with military equipment. An attack on the facility is imminent.
The Meet
The meeting will be held in Renton at a large cabin on Lake Youngs. Danny Hoffman first invites Spider to a BBQ at the cabin and presents her with the evidence of her guilt in the death of the western dragon Pursess. If she refuses to carry out Ares' order, the evidence will be sent to the Corporate Court. Spider reluctantly agrees and asks if the matter will be settled after one order. Danny makes it clear that from now on Ares considers Spider an active agent. He explains Spider the mission: kidnap the Red Samurai Yuma Takahashi, if possible alive a transfer of his cyberware is sufficient for the success of the mission, however. Spider should also get Yuma's personnel file to get more information about Renraku's secret program. Danny asks for names for potential runners and if Spider wants to contact them himself. Spider gives Danny some names but asks that Danny be the contact person.
The remaining Runners arrive at Lake Youngs (Shamrock uses Corf to get to Seattle) and are briefed by Spider over a BBQ about what their job is. Danny adds some information and offers the Runners a larger sum of Nuyen for the job. The Runners agree and get to work - Danny offers the shack as a temporary base of operations for the Runners.
The Plan
The Runners are trying to find the location of Renraku's training facility in the Korean jungle. To do this, Danny can provide radar footage from Ares and Spider tries to narrow down the area with information from her contact Knife. The Runners finally discovered the location of the facility, which is outside the road network about 50 kilometers deep in the Korean jungle. The site is supplied by an airlift and is very well secured with walls, air defenses, and drones. Shamrock summons a plant spirit and sends it out to inspect the area. When he returns, he reports paracritters, ghosts, and watchers guarding and protecting the facility. Spider contacts Phil Haskill to arrange transportation to Korea near the Renraku facility. Phil can provide transportation to the nearest small airport and also a jeap for local transportation. He also informs Spider that he has heard rumors that the Renraku facility will be attacked by the Sons of Sauron in the next few days.
Spider and Rabbit are looking for the host of the facility and can find him in the Renraku Grid. They enter the host but are immediately discovered by the IC. There is a short confrontation between the runners and the Renraku Matrix security in which some Renraku employees lose their lives. Renraku decides to temporarily shut down the host rather than let this powerful threat advance. After a few hours, the two try to get back into the host. They discover many hidden devices but no data. The host reacts a bit slower this time and a quick check shows that three IC (patrol, bloodhound, black ic) are running. They can also detect security spiders actively searching for hidden intruders. Spider and Rabbit can detect a data host inside the industry host and try to penetrate it. Unfortunately, Rabbit's attempt fails and the host can place markers on it. Rabbit then decides to leave the host. Spider continues to advance alone. In the data host, she can identify the Red Samurai's personal files. They are protected with data bombs and encryption. There are also deployment plans available. Spider sets out to copy the data of all Red Samurai. Due to the attack actions, the host starts IC and actively searches for Spider. Security spiders also join the search. Spider manages to copy all the files and is about to cover her tracks when she is discovered and attacked by IC and the security spiders. She stays long enough to cover her tracks completely and then leaves the host - not without giving one of the security spiders a bloody nose. To get the operation plans and more information Spider contacts Miyuki. Miyuki agrees to get the information against Nuyen because Miyuki is not well disposed towards Renraku anyway. After a short time Miyuki comes back and gives the information to Spider.
Based on the information they have, the Runners decide to take advantage of an upcoming Red Samurai training session with some specialists in the jungle and prepare an ambush there. They hope to meet the Red Samurai team as separately as possible - which is very likely given their training plans.
The Run
The runners fly to Korea and drive their jeep as close as possible to the Renraku base. Between them and the base, however, there are still 40 kilometers of rough jungle terrain that they must negotiate on foot to get to the site where the training is to take place. Shortly after they enter the jungle, the matrix signal is lost and only with the help of satellite uplinks is a matrix connection possible.
