Summary
Geoff Montgomery XLII the Raccoon is no ordinary Johnson you can imagine. The label entirely correct, he wants in on the shinies from an upscale waterfront hotel in Tacoma during a New Year's Eve party held there. That's a lot of tasty food for little raccoon paws. Enter the runners.
Background
The transition from 2083 to 2084 is an excuse to party to many, a great business opportunity for some. The latter counts for the staff of the Steilacoom Tacoma Hotel and the runners hitting it.
The Meet
Geoff Montgomery XLII the Raccoon hires Doggie Bag, Ez-Azael, Nu11st@ck and Sinning Jenny to hit the hotel in the AA-zone of Tacoma and abscond with as many shinies as possible. Meeting partially in an out-of-the-way area in Puyallup, partially on the Matrix, the team, like one man, is shocked and impressed to see a larger-than-life (literally) raccoon in a chair, using technology to synthesise very good English. They're happy to work for him, however, asking questions about the party, listening to his legwork prepared in advance and figuring out the best way to pull the run off. Ez-Azael then enters in what shall, from now on, be known as the Battle of the Floofs with the Johnson, succeeding in negotiating uniforms to fit into with the Aztechnology-run catering and keep afterwards.
The Plan
Things progress well as Nullstack hacks the host of the hotel to insert fake identities for Ez-Azael and Jenny, prepare for looping cameras and make the pricy tickets free. The two hatch a plan to run distraction as an unmarried couple with a nasty allergy flaring as the establishment is known for gourmet food. Doggie Bag, with a water spirit from Ez backing him up, awaits the opportunity created by mayhem to break in from the sewers and lift a couple of boxes of tasty treats out while Nullstack prevents discovery from the Matrix end.
The Run
The plan's execution is borderline flawless. Team Karen is sent in, disguised and dressed to kill, with Team Matrix's preparation. Cameras looped to show nothing happening in the freezer room together with Team Sneak being extremely stealthy means Doggie Bag can make off with more goodies than Geoff could possibly want. The staff and guests are distracted when Ez's date's peanut allergy flares while he's talking to the manager about the chicken dish and the SURGEling, currently looking like a very intimidating oni, offers righteous rage of truly biblical levels.
Aftermath
Team Sneak, overwatched by Team Matrix, ensures our J will eat really well. Team Karen makes a retreat while keeping up the pretense of stomach issues. They avoid early detection of any wrongdoing and Geoff gets his goodies.
