Summary

The party was tasked to voluntarily extract a scientist at an oil rig in Indonesia, for Shiawase. With the use of spirits and Trades' hacking, they got on the oil rig but was faced with opposition. Sticks and Stryker managed to get the scientist and run off, while Zan Zan faced the guards with Trades' support. When they escaped, the scientist wanted to go to --- instead so his research would be put to use. He went to Shiawase, but the research went to ---.

Background

The Meet

The party met the "Johnson", a human with expensive cyberware by the name of Haruki Uchida. They met at a club in --- called --- to discuss the run.

The Plan

They were tasked by the megacorp Shiawase with the voluntary extraction of a scientist at an oil rig in Indonesia, operated by Universal Omnitech. They had to find their own person to operate the boat, which ended up being Trades.

The Run

The party bought 200 drams of reagents to contact a massive water spirit known as Wusan. Sticks summoned Wusan to help clear the skies and aid the party in our extraction efforts, which they accepted and granted us driftwood to summon them when needed. Sticks and Zan Zan then used their astral projection to scout the scene, while Trades tried to deactivate cameras and other tech that could compromise their position. When we eventually arrived at the rig, we were caught by patrolling guards. We all successfully lied, and attempted to sneak onto the oil rig. Due to a camera mishap, we were caught again and had to fight. Zan Zan fought solo while Trades acted as backup, and Sticks and Stryker had to rush over to where the scientist is. Zan Zan had to burn an Edge in order to successfully take down a guard that would've otherwise killed her, but we all ran off on boat successfully.

Aftermath

After the party was at a safe distance, the scientist wanted to speak to the party without the eyes or ears of Shiawase. After Trades took down any bugs that were on the ship, he spoke up about the reason why he asked Shiawase to take him away from the rig. The scientist had a sample and research for a specific type of bacteria, one that would produce energy after a complex process involving heat and reproduction. He wanted to give this data to an eco-friendly corp by the name of ---, but they couldn't afford extracting him. So, he contacted Shiawase, and in exchange he would lock up the specimen and research so no other corp could have it. Knowing the bacteria wouldn't be put to good use, he asked for the party to bring him to ---, at a reduced reward. Since this went against Zan Zan's code, and the rest of the party felt like getting on Shiawase's bad side wasn't the best idea, we went for a compromise; we would give his research to ---, but give him to Shiawase. Eventually, he might be rescued and brought to another corp, but he would still need to face the consequences of asking Shiawase for help. This made the mission a full success.
