Summary
Granny tusk wants some hard-to-get plushies of Lofwyr, so she asks for runners help to go on a purfectly plush heist!
Background
SK released a new, limited edition and hot-on-the-market plush of Lofwyr, but it was only purchasable through SK scrip. Wanting some for her children (and to profit off of) she asks the runners to find and heist some good good plush.
The Meet
Snohomish, nondescript building, meeting with Granny Tusk. The runners three are set to meet her, and once inside are shared niceties with tea and biscuits. After bisky and tea, it gets down to business with the four. Granny Tusk wants lofwyr plushies, but getting them without being an SK sinner is a pain. So, steal a shipment of them for Granny, simple as. The size of the product might be an issue, so Granny Tusk says she'll pay based on how many the team can get.
The Plan
Planning to get the stuffies, JuJu and the team pile into Pasiphae's car and head to a stuffer shack to get tools in order to help with searches, and ends up starting to matrix search for Lofwyr stuffies. 141 buys a Kaltenstein body pillow, and JuJu gets a shopsoft to look for the stuffies. Juju manges to find a collection of stores that sell the stuffie, and begins to narrow things down based on his findings, with 141 and Pasiphae figuring out their new situation.
Summoning a spirit to help with the search, Juju summons a spirit to help with the astral searching. Finding a warehouse with plenty of stuffies, the team head out with spirit and juju in tow. Once there, Juju does astral recon while pasiphae and 141 do physical recon.
The Run
141 makes her way in under the security of a spirit from Juju, and is able to gain entry through artifice, by going in a closing door behind a guard. Once inside, she's able to deduce a stack of boxes waiting to be shipped out. Lucky! After some searching by Juju and Pasiphae, they decide to pull 141 out, grab a truck, and then hit the building again in a purely diabolical scheme; pulling the fire alarm and hoping nobody notices.
Once the team is back and raring to go, they give it the good ol' college try, only to have their plan ruined by eyeballs and technology; the guards, swarming the outside of the building, notice a truck that should not be at the loading bay, and the drones searching for fire notice none. So, immediately suspecting the truck, the jig is up, and the runners give in to a brawl to save the plush.
141 is able to assassinate targets from the shadows, being hidden the entire time, while Pasiphae takes hits and drain for JuJu, enabling Juju to summon and cast large spirits and spells. The combination of the pernicious pacts made by JuJu, the swell support from Pasiphae, and the lethal lead from 141 turns into a concoction most deadly for the gaurds. After being dealt with, the team then loads up their trucks with plenty of stuffed animals. 141 also snags a big dragon body pillow to snuggle at night.
Aftermath
Returning with the loot to Granny Tusk, the team is rewarded with tea and biscuits (and nuyen) for a job well done. Granny and all the children who wished for a stuffed animal get one, including the runners!

I hope I'm not around When 141 and Pasiphae realize how badly I fragged up with the ward at the loading dock. We knew the plushies were behind a mana barrier. But assuming there would be only one almost got my teammates killed. I've seen Pasiphae wade into a group of guards and send them flying. Followed in short order by 141 double tapping that dude at point blank range. These are not people to piss off. An after party sounded a lot better before the run than it did after we were done. I could barely walk let alone go clubbing. Granny Tusk's hamper really hit the spot. She brews a nice strong cuppa and the pastries were tasty at just the right time.

The job's done. Good. I'm glad I got paid. ...I'm glad I got such a cute stuffed animal. I was missing something to hold while I was asleep, so... this is nice. I think It'll be comfortable to sleep with. Oh, if I could just reach out and ask to be held...
