Summary
KRIME WEEK!!
The ShadowHaven team successfully broke the Yakuza blockade of Krime products coming out of the Tacoma ports by engineering a standoff between a legitimate Federated-Boening supply convoy and Knight Errant, which soured the working relationship between Nightrunner Security (Yakuza-backed) and Knight Errant.
Background
Krime wants an end to the blockage of their merchandise coming out of the Takoma port. Right now, Nightrunner Security cars are following Krime's trucks and calling them into Knight Errant, and doing so with curious accuracy.
The Meet
The ShadowHaven team met the troll Johnson at the Big Rhino in the late morning hours. The Johnson was a little busy because he was meeting a number of other teams to discuss other runs at the same time. The Johnson wants us to punch nerds and steal a file from the 42nd floor, but didn't seem to understand what was needed to get the file. He really just wants the file within three days and assumes that punching nerds is needed to get it.
Final offer is 30,000 nuyen for just a copy of the marketing algorithm within three days.
The Legwork
Rambozo checks out local gang and police activity to plot out potential escape routes and purchases blue technician coveralls as a disguise, a Shiawase burner SIN under the name of Suzuki Hideaki and some extra explosions.
Scrabble finds some general information about the Shiawase Regional Headquarters, but nothing specific on the targeted 42nd floor. He is able to enter the Shiawase host and enter a work order for the ShadowHaven team to enter the facility as technicians under their burner IDs to fix/install a new printer. He also purchases blue technician coveralls as a disguise, a Shiawase burner SIN under the name of Fukaya Kenji, a big toolbag and some packs of electronics parts as camouflage in the teams' bags.
Scrabble also finds the name of a minor anime clown character named Periwinkle that he could say that Rambozo is cosplaying. Rambozo insists on calling him Peri Wink Wink.
The Plan
The ShadowHaven team is simply walking into the Shiawase Regional Headquarters posing as corporate technicians to work on a printer on the 42nd floor.
Insertion
The team lucked out and arrived at the same time as a commuter bus, so they were waved inside without incident. There was an older gentleman who questioned Rambozo's makeup, but Scrabble passed it off (somewhat) that Rambozo was a cosplay fan of Periwinkle. The gentleman was still a bit perturbed, but assumed Rambozo was from a lesser faction. Since the exchange occurred in Japanese, Rambozo didn't understand what was being said.
On the 42nd floor, the floor manager was a little disturbed because he didn't remember a work order going in, but he relented with the proof of paperwork and a promise of a new printer coming in. He waved them into the printer corral.
Implementation
The ShadowHaven team opened up the printers and Scrabble tapped into one as a jackpoint for the hack. He copied the requested marketing algorithm and also modified the work order to bring in a new printer for the floor manager.
Extraction
The ShadowHaven were fashioning flush-able explosives to go down the toilets as cover for their escape when the floor was called for group calisthenics. The pair went along with the group and Rambozo heroically kept it together. Discretion was decided to be the better part of valor at that point and the ShadowHaven team simply packed up and left the building as quiet little salary men.
Sadly, no nerds were punched.
The Run
Aftermath
The trucks are now freely moving out of the Tacoma port, loaded with merchandise.
