Summary
The team was hired to escort a bunch of cocoa samples. It escalated.
Background
A Seattle-based bio-tech company acquired cocoa samples from Venezuela and the Svalbard seed vault. The team was hired to protect the samples from the Sea-Tac airport to the facility.
The Meet
It was a quick virtual meet on the Matrix. Details of the job were hashed out. The team then met at Sea-Tac.
The Plan
The team was hired as part of a convoy protecting the couriers transporting the cocoa samples.
The Run
On the route from Sea-Tac to the facility, the convoy noticed a disturbance up ahead. The convoy sent the team to investigate and to see if they required a detour. The team saw that it was a firefight between a Knight Errant squad and a group of out-of-town runners. The team went and distracted the KE squad. The runners then escaped. The team then forced the KE squad to withdraw, taking a lot of pain in the process. The team returned to the convoy using Concealment, scrubbing their astral signatures and then went on their way.
Aftermath
The samples were delivered to the facility without issue. The team's acts were broadcasted over the public Matrix.

Babylon
Man, I always thought KE were pushovers, especially compared to the Star, but frag if they didn't put up a great fight here - turned a simple escort job turns into a firefight. I thought we would just roll over them, until omae with the electric hammer came out and smashed me in the chest, and I probably would have died if it weren't for a heads up from Sp4rks over the 'trix, and all the spirits I had bound coming to the rescue; gotta say I've certainly got a new respect both for console cowboys and astral support. Hopefully Oathbane isn't still annoyed about what happened on our last job; I'll try to be less of a slitch to her in the future, she's just a kid and doesn't need me messing with her when I'm sure she's got enough problems. Still, we drove off the cops without killing any of them (which would have just been messy and brought the heat down on us), and those out of town runners didn't frag with our principal, plus I met that Little Boomer guy (spoilers, he's fragging hilarious!) and got to gab in French to someone, so I'd call this an absolute win!
