Summary
Runners steal weapons, armor, and explosives from an Ares arms depot. They give these to Rise Up, so they can can redistribute them to the people. Also, they probably get a lot of KE pressure.
Background
Since her actions in Feeding the Revolutionary Spirit, Behemoth has been building a communist organization with John Cooper, her nerdy ally. While not yet a large force, the group, called Rise Up, has begun to build a network of volunteers and workers in local communities. Helping people and building support networks, the group has started to make a real positive change in the poorer communities of Seattle. As people's lives improve though, there are always others who will try to tear it down, particularly the state. Behemoth, while a fearsome fighter, can't protect everyone. The people need to be able to watch out for themselves, and for that to happen, they need weaponry.
Hatching a plan, Behemoth finds a arms depot on the outskirts of town and begins to call in a team of like-minded runners to help the cause.
The Meet
The runners are called to an unassuming basement in the middle of a residential area. Cricket scanned the matrix for potential traps, before realizing things seemed pretty non-threatening. Heading down after a bit, the team entered John's basement, slightly furnished and with some posters and propaganda scattered around. Standing near a table, Behemoth and John greeted the team and began to tell them about the job.
In the outskirts of Auburn, located on the edge of town, an arms depot is operated by Ares. Used to store goods meant for sale to outside buyers, it also functions as a key part of the Knight Errant logistics network. Convoys head in and out with regularity, transferring material all around the area. From what had been already scouted out, the base seemed to have a significant automated security system, with visible turrets and drones.
The goal, if the runners were to accept, would be to rob this warehouse, stealing as much as possible. They would be given a share of the returns as a reward, and would help arm the people of Seattle.
The runners were all fairly amenable to the cause, aside from Prince, and the soon decided to take the job.
