Summary

The team is hired by the Johnson to take out an organ and 'ware legging operation that just so happened to prey upon the J's brother. ONe of the runner's shows up late to the meet, but no one seems to mind at all. Deals are made for cash and/or 'ware, gear is retrieved, and legwork is done, all with zero issues. The party is split and the assault is completed with zero fatalities for the runners, and total knock-out for the gangers. They are collected, and all but the Accountant and the actual Ripper are let go, with Emily instituting an impromptu gladiator match between the remaining gangers! The team returns to the J, gets paid, and everyone goes on their merry way.

Background

The J just wanted revenge on the gangers who jumped her brother. Short, sweet, and simple. Nothin' terribly fancy

The Meet

Everyone minus Six_of_Hearts shows up on time at the hospital, Deireadh An Tuartheil, and meets with the J in the Lobby. She's there visiting her brother who just got out of two days of surgery. She explains that she wants the operation shut down, permanently.

The Plan

FInd the warehouse where the gear stolen by the gangers is being held by using the stealth tag embedded in the J's brothers stolen cyberarm, subdue the gangers, and either force their permanent cooperation, or make them take a dirtnap.

The Run

Using the frequency of the hidden tracking tag that was acquired from the J, the warehouse is easily discovered, along with two of the gangers. Once the team finds the warehouse, they are also made aware of a secondary building a few blocks away where the remainder of the gangers are held up. Being in the Barrens and being the group of sherlocks that they are, the team deduces that it is unlikely that the wrath of Knight Errant will be called down upon them

The team goes back and forth for a little while, trying to decide if they should assault one building and ganger group at a time, or if they should split the group and take out both at once. The team decides on the latter option, splitting the team into pairs, with Paragon and Emily+drones assaulting the gang HQ with the trio of gangers, and Six_of_Hearts and Milliam taking on the pair of gangers guarding the stash of LOOT.

Paragon and Emily+drones go in with a good plan: shoot out the lights, mind control the biggest ganger, who happens to be a troll, and then gas the room with CS to hopefully take the fight out of them and force their surrender. That's not exactly how it went down. Emily+drones DID get the lights shot out, Paragon DID mind control the troll ganger, and Emily+drones DID toss in a gas grenade filled with CS gas... what DIDN'T happen however, was waiting just a bit longer for everything to work its collective magic. Paragon tries to command the Troll to betray his friends

Game Quotes

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

Six_of_Hearts: An easy run, and it payed nicely for one. Those chop-shop gangers never stood a chance against us, though the team could have been more decisive in out actions. Oh well, how you say, live and learn? One more organ-slash-ware legging operation shut down. Do sleduyushchego raza, moya lyubov'!
