Summary

Background

The Meet

The first to arrive on site of the meet was Trash Panda, who found the establishment they were supposed to meet at closed. After some investigating they found a raccoon in the dumpster, decked out in cybernetics with a rifle on him. Turns out to have been the Johnson, much to the rest of the teams surprise when they arrived. After everyone was acquainted with the Johnson, one Rocket Raccoon, he gave the team their Job. He and his group of 150 or so bandits have been run out of their home by exterminators. In order to maintain his business he required new lodging and suitable transportation to conduct business. He gave them a few options on where he wanted to settle down and where to grab a vehicle and told them the pay was based on the quality of both.

The Plan

After some discussion among the group, they eventually settled on settling Rocket Raccoon's group in Hunt's Point, Bellevue. It was planned to be a water park before it was abandoned, and now served as a kind of spirit and animal preserve watched by Dryads. The crew's plan was to have Poppet talk them into letting Rocket set up on the premise.

As for the vehicle, the crew decided they wanted big bucks for that one. They set their sights on an Ares Roadmaster held in an Knight Errant repair depot. Their plan was simple, acquire forged KE uniforms, burner sins and paperwork. Then, Poppet and Twitch would enter and con the depot into giving them the Roadmaster. After they get on the road, they'd get the rest of the squad in the vehicle, and then have Mickey disable the tracker in the vehicle while Trash Panda was Astral Lookout. After that they'd con the radioman into thinking they'd be coming back and make off with the transport.

The Run

Before the rest of the team could arrive to Hunt's Point to negotiate, Twitch tore off to the location driving fast and recklessly. When the rest of the team met with him and proceeded, there were many wolf spirits that were quite unhappy with his driving and ended up ripping off his bumper and urinating on his car. He chased them off but the damage was done. The crew came to the meet on their back-foot, already having angered the Dryads and spirits some. They were wise to the crew's tactics of using pheromones to influence them, and were not keen on letting Rocket Raccoon set up there. So instead of Poppet negotiating, Trash Panda stepped forward, and gave a personal and heartfelt speech about change and second chances to change the minds of the Dryads. This touching moment brought the party to give them hugs after- Except Mickey.

Then what came next was the con for the Ares. The team regrouped, having secured a safe location for Rocket Raccoon.
