Summary
Runners get bagged and dropped into a sunken arcology to fetch lost intel. They succeed even with limited supplies.
The Meet
The runners wake up in a diving bell, naked and lacking any protection. Pitch black, a brief trid screen opens on a projector explaining their current situation. They're fitted with tracker collars that the mysterious J claims will ensure their demise if they're spotted emerging without the item of choice: a briefcase containing sensitive information that was dumped in the arcology some time prior.
The Plan
Having literally no options, the team puts on the diving suits they have access to, ties the team to one another and manages to get the diving bell to open; thankfully they're not too far from the coast so the pressure doesn't kill them immediately. They manage to get to an airlock in the arcology and open it to get inside. They suffer from cold and a lack of equipment, but Thistle's arms are weapons in and of themselves so they have at least some power there. Their plan is to explore, head towards the part of the arcology where the briefcase is expected to be and then get in touch with the employer for an escape route.
The Run
Exploring the dimly lit arcoblock, the team finds previous teams sent to fetch the same item as them, mauled to pieces. Thankfully, a few of them have old, conventional weapons that Eidolon nabs for himself and Blackhawk. They're able to at least partially arm themselves, though they're low on ammo. Signs of large claw marks gouging the wall implies they're not alone, but many doorways are utterly closed to them.
