Summary

A group of four runners, two mages, a technomancer and a face, work together to steal some miniatures for a popular wargame and destroy the entire stock of some others.

Background

The Johnson wants to get his hands on a soon-to-be-released box set of Space Marines from Wizards Workshop so he and his kid can use them in an upcoming tournament. To ensure that the Space Marines' thunder is not rudely stolen, he also wants to make sure that the perpetually-busted Dark Eldar's models are destroyed.

The Meet

Meeting at a nice restaurant, the Italiano, the Johnson ingratiates himself to the team by buying dinner and presenting a sympathetic story: he's just a dad who wants to have fun with his son. This, along with the promise of a 12,000 nuyen reward, coaxes the team into accepting the job. Informed quickly that they need to acquire him a box of specifically Space Marines (along with some AR files) and destroy / otherwise disable the Dark Eldar, the runners face another challenge: this must be done non-obviously. Handing the crew a datachip with the address of the building from which they'd be stealing and a commcode, the Johnson made his exit.

The Plan

Night Claws quickly began a deep Matrix search, while Doctor Marvel and Mendacius began a Clairvoyance ritual. Using this ritual, the team was able to scry on the inside of the building, creating a rough map of it and understanding where and what things were going on within. By waiting until some workers on the production line checked out, they also found the combination for the keypad locks. With his search complete, Night Claws engaged in some host reconnaissance, finding various schedules as well as the data the Johnson requested. Further exploring, he found the building's scheduling file, noting that many executives had scheduled visits and shortly after canceled them. After realizing that the production data that would be used to manufacture the Dark Eldar models was based on something stored in the host's foundation, Night Claws deduced that to access it he'd need to catch someone as they did that very thing.

To accomplish this, the team turned to a social infiltration. By impersonating an executive named Gaile Frenchname using a skin pigmentation treatment and a synthskin mask, Poppet could simply walk in, ask to see the design document currently stored in the archive, and allow Night Claws to get his claws on it. In addition, a box set would be simple to acquire for 'testing purposes'. Night Claws stalked Gaile's P2.1 to program the mask, and Poppet, along with Mendacius, disguised themselves as her and her assistant. Doctor Marvel created charcoal-on-paper preparations to improve NC's mental acuity for the final hacks.

The Run

The run seemed to go off without a hitch, in part because of assistance rendered by Rick Rampant in acquiring a fake SIN that could imitate Gaile's. After Poppet and Mendacius got away with the Space Marines and Night Claws altered the design documents with his complex form, he hacked into a forklift and sent it "accidentally" careening into the stocking shelves, striking exactly where they were storing the Dark Eldar. In the end, magical, social and matrix supremacy combined to embody a clean, successful run.
