==Summary==
==Summary==
The runners received an unorthodox request to meet at the Everett Naval Base.  It didn't appear to be from their fixers.
There, they eventually met [[SignificantNPC:: Lt.Cmdr Yennefer Kerrigan]] and an AI that she was working with named Cerebus.  The AI reassured Purkinje that the job was on the level.
The mission was clear.  Infiltrate an island where Ares was having a two day demonstration of its new weapon assets to potential buyers.  There were two roles for social infiltrators to get close to the buyers and data server.  And three roles for physical infiltrators to scout the perimeter and get footage from the warehouses that might not be part of the official tour.
The island had considerable physical and data security.  There were watchtowers, VTOLs, planes, tanks.  And bioengineered monster dogs.
On the first night, a member of the physical team was spotted, triggering a massive fire fight with island security.  [[Purkinje]] and [[Moth]] used the distraction to raid the data servers.
The team managed to escape in a submersible tank, and meet up with the Johnson.  Mission accomplished - though perhaps less subtly than intended.  But the data acquired was worth it.
==Background==
Several of the runners involved had been part of prior missions related to uncovering Ares' projects.
[[XX]] was the run addressing Project Fusion.
[[A Storm is Coming]] was a run that unlocked the following information about the other projects.
*Project Icefang (Valiwostok Sea)
*Project Kali (Indian Ocean)
*Project Jorogumo (South China Sea)
*Project Reaver (Atlantic Ocean)
*Project Jorumgandr (North Sea)
*Project Scylla/Charbydis (Mediterranean Sea)
And, discovered that Project Icefang involved the transport of enormous creatures with fangs and claws.
Ares was definitely up to something troubling.
[[Kani]] had been to the island before.  Tossed their by chance after another encounter.  She knew there was an interesting military plane on the island, that had caught her interest.  And that security was likely increased since her visit.


A struggling sprawl gang hires some shadowrunners out of an emergency fund to eliminate their opposition. Hilarity ensues.
==The Meet==
==The Meet==
The team was quite concerned by the unorthodox contact.  [[Purkinje]] suspected an AI, and that she was being hunted, and it was some kind of trap.  [[Moth]] and [[Eisenjägerin]] approached the woman who appeared to be the Johnson.  [[Kani]] and [[Chop Shop]] set up sniper positions.
The woman revealed that she was [[SignificantNPC:: Lt.Cmdr Yennefer Kerrigan]], and needed the runner's help to investigate the island.  She had a plan ready.  They just needed to agree.
The AI Cerebus seemed to have played a key role in identifying them, and had no trouble locating the others, in their sniper positions.  But it made friendly contact with [[Purkinje]] to smooth things over.
[[Moth]] negotiated for more nuyen, and they received all the information needed for the job.


The shadowrunners meet with a ganger liaison in a Redmond hellhole bar. She explains that the go-gang she's a part of recently had an ally turn on them, leaving them and their turf in a vulnerable position. She offers 40,000¥ to destroy the traitors' stuff, evening the odds while they lick their wounds. LazorGrrl notes that the gang is facing an existential threat, which raises the price of the job in her estimation. She makes a counteroffer of 50,000¥, which the liaison accepts on the condition that the go-gangers not only lose their assets, but their lives. The team finds these terms agreeable, and all parties leave the bar.
==The Plan==
==The Plan==
The goal was to obtain camera footage and data files about Ares' projects.  As much as feasible.
To that end, UCAS had arranged cover identities for two runners to infiltrate the group of buyers touring the island facility at an event to begin in two days' time.  UCAS had arranged transport near the island and related supplies for the three runners to infiltrate physically.
Once on the island, the runners were to learn as much as they could.  If they were subtle, they could avoid alerting Ares to the scrutiny.


Good Boy and LazorGrrl are content to head straight for the go-gang's stronghold and assault them, but the others convince them to wait for nightfall, at least.
==The Run==
==The Run==
[[Moth]] and [[Purkinje]] pulled off their roles, and were able to join the tour of buyers without incident.  The hardest part was smuggling in Purkinje's sim rig to take the camera footage.  Ares were inspecting closely and watching for any on-line cameras.  [[Moth]] was able to successfully palm the sim rig, and get it positioned under [[Purkinje]]'s hair, under a smart wig.  They begin the tour.  They soon had footage of a massive icefang beast - the size of a football field.  They also observed the location of the data server room.
[[Kani]], [[Chop Shop]], and [[Eisenjägerin]] made it to the island and began to explore.  They found a warehouse with several planes, a warehouse with the football field sized beast, a warehouse of puppy sized beasts, and a warehouse with an unusual prototype submersible tank.
Unfortunately, [[Eisenjägerin]] was spotted by security.  The island went into full alert.  Alarms blared.  Tanks rolled out.  Watchtower guards began to fire.
A major battle began.
[[Kani]] was able to steal one of the planes and attack the Ares forces, though she was eventually shot down.
[[Chop Shop]] and [[Eisenjägerin]] managed to steal the submersible tank.
[[Purkinje]] and [[Moth]] used the distraction to infiltrate the data server room, and start collecting the detailed files on each known Ares Project.  [[Purkinje]] was able to get the details on every known project.  (See Aftermath below.)
The battle raged on, buying more time to steal the data.
[[Chop Shop]] and [[Eisenjägerin]] crashed the submersible tank through the wall of the compound, through the floor, crushing the bound icefang beast that was serving as a coolant for the data servers, and coating [[Moth]] and [[Purkinje]] in beast blood.  These four escaped in the tank and met up with [[Kani]] at sea, who had re-joined the navy seals that had delivered those three to the island.
They made their escape successfully.


The team pulls up outside of the go-gang's fort to find them mid-celebration, tweaking on ghosts know what. Their bikes are locked inside a nearby garage secured by a simple mechanical lock, though the door to their feast hall doesn't appear to be secured. Thrud decides to throw a tremendously powerful lightning ball through the window, and half of them don't hear it coming before they get fried to a molten crisp. The rest grab their weapons and file out to meet the firing line. Good Boy immediately goes for the biggest guy there, who's a burly troll toting a machine gun meant for vehicle mounts. Terrifyingly, Good Boy blurs into action and somehow makes the troll shoot himself in the head, killing him instantly. After an exchange of bullets, lasers, spells, and teeth, the shadowrunner team wipes out the opposition with no losses. They steal all intact drugs, weapons, and vehicles to return to the client.
==Aftermath==

They gave [[SignificantNPC:: Lt.Cmdr_Yennefer_Kerrigan]] the submersible tank, and all the camera footage, and data files.

[[Moth]] here. This is run #12 for me. I will write up a full report when I can. I was pretty shaken. I've never been involved in something with so much security alerted - with tanks!

LazorGrrl notes that the gang is facing an existential threat, which raises the price of the job in her estimation.

The rest grab their weapons and file out to meet the firing line. Good Boy immediately goes for the biggest guy there, who's a burly troll toting a machine gun meant for vehicle mounts.
