Summary
Someone wanted to back out of a deal with one of their betters and made a deal with a corp to gain the power and new routes.
Background
Smugglers wanted a better deal and thought about backstabbing someone who's powerful...this is not going to end well for them once they figure out what is happening
The Meet
The J has requested for the runners to meet them in an office to talk about the job and being paranoid was not on sight, making up a lie that they were in Japan but were actually in the same building just one floor above them.
The Plan
Recruit some help to attack the smugglers and chase off those who are smart enough to run away. calling up help from a seasoned runner to act as the frontline while the mages did their thing in the back and the drones opened up on the other opfor
The Run
It went smoothly with the team knocking them down aside one of the opfor who was much tanker than the others but he was brought low finally after a good amount of bullets and spells dealt enough stun to knock him out. it was a simple dock firefight with a lot of magical security built up around the place and this dock has been attacked by runners in the past so they have made it more of a fortress but that didn't help them this time around.
Aftermath
Good old-fashioned backstabbing is happening and the group of runners may be pulled into a fight between corpo sinners against each other. That's if the runners choose to stay part of this oncoming problem for the azzies to deal with or make the smart move and stay out of it

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Gambit Ezekiel said it was going to a simple run, the Johnson said just teach them a lesson for backing out of a deal. Easy enough a small 2 bit smuggler group working the Tacoma docks, how hard could it be? Hard enough .. that hardplace turned out to be Aztechnology. This 2 bit operation got acquired, and have back up. So much for going in hot and loud, in quiet and non-lethal don't need that kind of heat. Scouting runs turn up pear shaped, our mages getting spotted, our other riggers drone getting trashed to avoid some weird magical powers that was taking over it. So loud and soft ... things did not start off well, my drone shot from the sky with a single round from the Aztech solider, thankfully our hired gun, was able to provide cover and drive off all the gangers.. while round after non lethal round was sent into the solider before he finally passed out. The onsite mage had enough of it, and grabbed the soldier's unconscious form and left, leaving us to mop up and grab what we could to get a pay day.
