According to this the runner reach the location of the meeting an old motel complexe lost in the outskirts of Seattle, a place Knight Errant never come more or less. On the meeting place the crew noticed the presence of an operative clad into an RPC cloak, the operative inform them that his superior is coming and that everything will be explained. An helicopter land about fifteen minutes later and the J emerge, he make a classic old school military briefing with a white board and paper files. They explain that they need the runner to protect the helicopter and make sure that a pilot will be on board and ready to take off when the job will be done. An harsh negotiation is made on the price and the J agree to offer some free service in place of more money.
The Run
After a night of sleep or a dose of long haul for some runners the team take off and reach a place near the border between Renton and the Downtown. Quickly deploying the N-51 quit the team and reach the place of the ambush.

In a matter of a few second the two team got glassed and the reinforcement come in hard. The third team manage to get a few more succes, destroying one of Strobe drones and nearly taking out Gav, but in the end they got killed like the other. A sniper did take some shot on the team and tried to pin them down but soon after the return of the N-51 team he did back off and the whole team board the helicopter. The getaway wasn't easy thought, soon after the take off Strobe realise he was chase by a Northrup Wasp, the patrol chopper was slower than the N-51 Black Hawk but he led the team into an area covered by a manned missile launcher. Strobe failed his evasive manoeuver and the helicopter took the hit. Despite losing an engine and part of the hull because of the impact, the Black-Hawk was still able to fly and to outspeed the Wasp. The team landed at the Motel more or less unharmed.
