Summary
Background
The Meet
The Plan
Initially, the party planned to post up in a nearby parking garage, then use their decker to break into the security system, cut their defenses, and locate the package and the cold storage location in the building, using a combination of both decking, infiltration, and misdirection to find the package and wheel it out of the building with help of a summoned earth spirit.
Unfortunately, after some misadventures with decking and some poor luck with the decker, the group instead decided to fish for information by sending in their least offensive party member to disguise as a representative looking for some 'ware to find the location of the cold storage chamber, then wait until night for security to be light before breaking in and out as quickly, and hopefully with as little incident as possible.
The Run
After their initial struggle with trying to crack into a non-cooperative sub-host, Vicker was sent into the body mall to scout out the location of the cold-storage the package was left behind in. With some searching and some spread feelers, he managed to run into a Gnomish ripperdoc with a set of loose lips, ultimately giving him an offer on hard to find 'ware and slipping that their target was in the basement of the mall.
Deciding the best route was to wait for the coast to be clear, the party sat back, got prepared, grabbed a smoke, and waited for closing time before making their move. After discovering a short ramp to the lower parking garage with a door directly connected to the basement, the party snuck in, using some quick-hacks and magic to distract and stun the guards for a quick kill on the pair. Taking some time to hide the bodies, the group came across another internal security group, while thinking of a plan to deal with them, Vicker and M3chan1c worked together to formulate a false-AR ad for a nearby brothel with a 1k Nuyen gift card and spam it to the guards, ultimately leading one guard to abandon his post and sprint down the hall, right into the party, only to be split in two by Kaminari's blade as the halls errupted into gunfire and magical warfare.
After a short fight, the group dipped into cold storage and got their summoned earth spirit to grab the heavy package while they made for the exit, a few spotting a silent alarm that seemed to have triggered from the fight, of course, before they could figure it out or shut it down, the group was staring down a security fan with a suited man demanding them to surrender the package to them, this was promptly met with a full-auto burst from one of the drones, reducing him to a twitching pile as a fire-elemental manifested inside the vehicle, lightly-toasting the rest of the reinforcements for the rest of the party to start mopping up, those who fled getting torched for their troubles. With a pile of security goons laying wasted, the party made their way for the Truck, with M3chan1c staying behind just long enough to send the security van careening into the basement doors out of spite.
