Bolt spoke up, taking the place of Johnson for the run, apparently the Gieinellie family had a piece of artwork stolen from them by the Finnegans, a hand-carved Gieinellie original. Wanting a bit more cash for the pricey artifact's retrieval, Mojo Joe managed to coax some increased rewards out of the arrangement. The run was to take place in the Tacoma docks, in a Finnegan-owned warehouse. The art would be moved out the evening after to be sold in an art auction. While the made-men in the facility were Finnegans, and perfectly acceptable to kill, the unaware dockworkers were to be left alive, unconsciousness fine enough, but alive. Additionally, the true Johnson requested that the location be left clear of police presence, requesting a covert job, or, in the least, a job that ends up driving KE away from the scene afterwards. The Johnson made things extensively clear that backstabbing or failure would result in fatal consequences, a matter which Bolt made sure to remind M3chan1c of once again, explicitly due to the true purpose of the mission. According to additional details, magical defenses would be rather limited, although, a certain crack-shot sniper would be watching over the location, yet another thing to keep alert for. Additionally, the item in question was a hand-carved fireplace, a rather large item that would require additional hardware to move.
The Plan
According to a Tier 6 search, M3chan1c was able to pull up quite a bit of information on the location and its host. In addition to the sniper, there appeared to be a talented vibroswordsman, master shotgunner, and a subcontracted mage which occasionally would be dealing with wards, traps, magical threats and the like, potentially on-site. According to the list, dockworkers appeared to be armed with light arms, with a small group of made men armed better than the dock workers, but far less terrifying than the specialists.
Dropping into the Host, M3chan1c was met with a massive, gundam sized warehouse, stocked and operated by the massive armored mechs. Stepping in and attempting to zip around the massive warehouse, he quickly ran into a patrol IC, after a short fight, he managed to de-rez it, unfortunately, not before the Spider hopped on site, calling out the extra IC sitting in the host, after a short, defensive battle, M3chan1c bailed, failing to gather any useful information. Deciding it was about time to head towards the location, the runners made their way to a nearby parking garage. Mojo went ahead, going forward to astrally scout the area out, though, bumping into a ward, they quickly tried to escape the area before magical defense came into effect. Unfortunately, this did not go well, and a powerful fire spirit followed along behind them, leading the entire party to be discovered meeting in the parking garage. Turning back around, M3chan1c spotted multiple groups of hostiles stacking up outside beside cars, ready to ambush the runners, sensing the threat, M3chan1c dropped into meatspace, warning his allies of the impending attack, before suddenly being assaulted by the resident Spider and dropping into the matrix.
