Background
The Cook, a notorious and well connected kingpin in the Emerald Sprawl, decided to make millions by entering a popular market, deep sea salvage, but in a new way, with industrial purpose tritium. How that's helpful is unclear, but everyone understands nuyen, so when he called upon some of his best assets to acquire him some, they didn't have much in the way of objections.
Meet
The meet was a tense one, a false, hollow imitation of warmth, filled with jackal smiles and red hand shakes. The Cook met Xianyang and 5n0w at the End of the Earth club (Grave Walker arrived late, although none of The Cook's men would utter a word of criticism to her.) and he treated his employees to a pleasant dinner of buffalo wings while explaining to them in a chilling, inhuman tone their objective: intercept a Maser Industrial Electronics transport truck in Seattle, carrying a shipment of industrial use tritium bullion, and bring the contents to The Cook's safe house in Redmond.
Run
The team quickly figured this would be a milk run. 5n0w set up and began surfing the local grid for any way to pivot onto one of Centurion's systems, and after wrecking the emerald city representation with her ice giant avatar, crashing gates, cracking open secured hosts, and stomping any IC in her way, she found the shipment of tritium they wanted. While she was jacked in, Xianyang and Grave Walker called up some smugglers and black market fences they knew through The Cook, and loaded up for a hit on Centurion. Xianyang carried an AK-97 on him, and grabbed as many magazines as he could stuff in his pockets, while Grave Walker, who's arsenal was far more extensive, grabbed munitions belts for her RPK, Ingram Smartguns, several grenades, and dropped some phat nuyen to rent a MRL missile launcher. Lastly, they borrowed one of his smuggler's vans to move the bars of tritium, and once they got the word from 5n0w, they got ready and rolled out through the mid-night downpour to perform their blitz play.
The caravan was easy to stop. 5n0w used her back door into the transport truck's on-board GridGuide link to force a stop, causing the last three cars in the caravan to pile up.
Aftermath
while the story was damaging to Brackhaven and the Arch-Conservative Party, it was reduced to a mere inconvenience by the successful smear campaign by Ares, instead of causing a black eye to Brackhaven's party. However, the results of this run have people in Seattle asking questions and started to the chain of events that would lead to Brackhaven's fall.
