Summary

A Johnson hires Rigs, Twitch, Doris, and Ironclad to extract a high ranking undersea engineer from Horizon's new Party Egg - an underwater entertainment district - off the coast of Los Angeles.

The Meet

The team is warned that their job will require accessing an underwater location. They are offered plane tickets from SeaTac to Los Angeles, but everyone declines due to their desire to keep their heavy equipment and an abundance of vehicles that can make the trip to LA. Ironclad rides down the coast with Doris on her houseboat with most of the explosives and guns, while Rigs and Twitch drive down. Rigs outruns the police while Twitch autopilots and plays VR games the entire way. Upon arriving in the half-sunken downtown area of LA where the meet was to occur, Doris moored her houseboat at a major thoroughfare and Twitch drove the team over to the high rise where they stayed the night and met the Johnson.

The Johnson wanted construction of Horizon's new Party Egg to be delayed by extracting one of the three shift engineers onsite, and chose Jessica Stevens, the night shift engineer, as the extraction target. He also requested that the team do not fully destroy or flood the structure since his organization couldn't handle that much heat. After Ironclad negotiated for SCUBA equipment and extra pay, the team accepted.

Aftermath

Jessica is dropped off to the Johnson successfully, and everyone chastises Rigs for not owning any nonlethal ammunition, despite Ironclad having the exact same issue. Doris has 3 meters of prepared Effective Rating 11 Linear Cutting Charges with a standard blasting cap that is still unused.
