Summary
Just... get common sense. Please.
Background
A local Johnson wanting to sell their goods to a local gang was ambushed by a rival dealer in the area by the name of Tommy gun Tommy. Leaving them with a broken arm and swolen eye. Not wanting to tell their boss about the whole affair the Johnson seeks runners to make the whole ordeal right.
The Meet
Calling the meet at a local McHughes, Ryuuji, Solaris, and Ellis eventually find their way towards the local McHughes where after a brief awkward interaction between Ellis and a child the runners met the johnson who appeared to be badly injured and needing of help. They had been jumped by a man named Tommy gun Tommy with no known gang affiliations, rumours tie him perhaps the Vory or Cutters but no solid proof has been found. Offering the runners a nice pay, Solaris managed to squeeze just a little bit more of the Johnson. After agreeing to the payment the Johnson informed the runners that a man named Steven was a neutral middleman between the gangs of Seattle organizing meets and that he likely knew what happened as Steven was the one to organize the meet where the Johnson would meet his buyers. Steven however had a usual meeting place, that being a local pizza joint in Everett known simply as Tony's Cheeseria. With a target in mind to get information before the runners parted the fast food restaurant.
The Plan
The runners realized the dangers that may wait for two of their own. Solaris being an elf and Ellis being a Dwarf would likely cause problems crossing the district of Snohomish. Whilst Solaris and Ellis attempted to disguise themselves to remove their more metahuman features Ryuuji called upon Raytheon for aid in this endeavor, hoping to find a way across Snohomish. With a bit of time and physical scouting Raytheon was able to find a route for the runners to take through the district. Ellis and Solaris' disguises proving very effective against the occasional glance at Ryuuji's car. Along the way there Solaris with a comm code provided by the Johnson was able to get a hold of Steven and through some brief convincing was able to organize a meet at Tony's Cheeseria. The three runners headed inside to talk to Steven who currently was waiting at a table close to the stage. The runners have a brief conversation with the man. Himself after some prodding he gave up the Johnson for pay and that he was simply the messenger and middleman for the many gangs of Seattle. But with Ryuuji's point of how said shaky loyalty may eventually get himself shanked and Solaris driving it in caused Steven to reluctantly agree and give more details. Tommy Gun Tommy planned to give the shipment to the Skraacha at a meet near the border of Touristville in Redmond. After thanking Steven for the information the runners pondered how to deal with it all. Solaris' nature as an elf may lead to some complications should some of the members should worse come to worse. Also would the Skraacha even side with them or against them when the time came? So the runners devised a plan. Solaris called upon Black Cat to hopefully get in touch with some Skraacha members to hopefully intervene or postpone the meet. With some luck he was actually able to get in touch with one of the members that would be participating in the meet itself. After some deliberation the team decided that simply having the Skraacha postpone the meet slightly would likely be for the best to avoid complications and to better prepare an ambush for Tommy. Not wanting to immediately get busted however Solaris tossed over the phone to Ryuuji who talked to the Skraacha and what had transpired. After agreeing to delay for a little while the runners hung up and began to prepare. Ryuuji gave a brief call to Raytheon to ask for further aid, understanding it likely was dangerous work Raytheon was able to get Ryuuji and the fellow runners 2 trainees for Arma's HTR team to help out. Ellis all the while scouted out the terrain ahead, looking for sniping positions and possible stealth spots for both herself, her fellow runners, and the two HTR trainees. Finding nearly everything they would need in the process. Once everyone fell into position all that was left to do was wait.
The Run
Tommy Gun Tommy and his armed goons arrived just around the right time. On the dot as a matter of fact as they failed to notice anyone but Ryuuji, who after about a sentence a half of dialogue exchange punched Tommy directly across the face. After this the battle began as everyone opened fire. Ellis managing to get clean shot after clean shot as the Arma trainees took most of the punishment and returned fire. Solaris sniping goon after goon from inside the abandoned apartment building about half a kilometer away. Ryuuji all this while managing to both knock out Tommy and knock some sense into the two mages brought into the situation as well. With the trainees and teams efforts eventually the battle was won with some difficulty. The trainees offering medical aid to any of the runners hurt. The runners proceeding to grab the goods held by Tommy before waiting for the Skraacha to arrive.
Aftermath
As the dust settled and the team recovered eventually the Skraacha did arrive with the needed payment, Ryuuji handing over the shipment and being relatively shocked and slightly scared to see some quality K-10 being up for sale. After receiving the payment of 50k nuyen both the runners and Skraacha went about their separate ways.
