Summary

Dr. Henry Wallace had an issue needing solving, and had a favor to cash in with the runner 8133D3R. Together with the team of Surtr, Blue jay, and Smiling Warrior, they break into a storage facility to re-acquire sensitive materials.

"A biological lab currently has possession of multiple pieces of low-grade cyberware to be used as evidence against my client. My client will be pleased if you can repossess it. Any additional cyberware in the lab will be purchased by my client at its value."

Background

Dr. Henry Wallace had imported goods from afar, but the goods were knock offs. In order to keep things hush-hush, he asks a favor of local runners to liberate the stolen-goods-to-be. If the runners are successful, Dr. Wallace's associates will be liberated from the threat of prosecution.

The Meet

A proxy was set to relay the needs and extra information. Meeting at an expensive bar in A-sec, the runners meet their J. With a quick bribe and a short conversation, the runners find the information they need to begin infiltration, and all make their way separately to the target location.

The Plan

The plan took a few different itterations, from demolishing the entire building to spectrally navigating the area to sneaking in through the vents. The final version of that was a strategic multi stage approach that included decking, sneaking, and talking their way into the building to secure the goods. With 8133D3R on the net, Smiling Warrior sneaking in, Blue Jay And Surtr talking their way through the front door, nothing could go wrong.

The Run

The run started off slow with a full dive by 8133D3R. Finding themselves drenched in the net, they quickly made easy work of the buildings security and net. They managed to switch the wires on the security alarm, prepping for if things went awry. After, they were able to forge security passes for Blue Jay and Surtr. Before entry by the duo, Smiling Warrior infiltrated the building's defenses by shapeshifting into a rat.

While Smiling Warrior was deep inside the building, Surtr and Blue Jay approached the security of the building passing off as NYOOMIS security. They had manufactured ID, manifest logs, and security outfits. Unfortunately for them, their passes didn't check out, their request for the stolen goods was faulty, and their disguises had an incorrect NYOOOOOMIS logos on it. Blue Jay was able to request that 8133D3R quickly change the manifest, and between a technomany and face skills, the team was accepted into the building.

While inside, the duo of Blue Jay and Surtr were able to acquire the knock off cyberware while under supervision of the NYOOMIS guard team. Avoiding any further impulsive or intrusive thoughts, the team successfully avoided jeopardizing the run by not going back for further looting. Having nabbed the goods without alerting the NYOOMIS guards, the team went their separate ways to meet with the J and deliver the stolen goods.

Aftermath

The team successfully negotiated with the J, snuck in without a hitch, and pulled off a Friday night heist with whim or worry. The Johnson seemed pleased, and Dr Wallace would relay his gratitude to those who he was in contact with previously.

Surtr

"What a blast. I got to see Blue Jay again, as well I met a new infected pal. I was... surprised that there was another person so close to me! I'll have to stalk - er, find out more about them in the future... but yeah, run went well. Nyoomis is a cool sec firm name. I'll deffinitely look into that as well. Otherwise, I was shivering in my pants the entire time trying not to break a sweat on that run... Glad I could be there. Always nice to have a runner and not need them than the other way around. Or at least, that's what Ryn might say.
