Takumi (lietenant of Mistumoto Gumi) gets a call from a contact, offering him a job.
Takumi speaks to Bob's Character, and gets him in on the job randomly.
Takumi calls Pins, and Pins tells him to meet the team at Apple and Pears bar. Takumi and Bob's Character go there.
All 5 chars meet up, and Pins offers Tak and Mark 15k each for the job, bonus of 5k available.
Shade tells people he is called Osprey.
Team discuss possible plans.
Team take a fast car (chase car) with Tak and Mark. Pins, Shade and Mole drive in a Winnabego, ahead of the truck.
Mole leaps across from Winabego to Truck, Shade passes him cable and hacks the lock. Mole steps in, door closes behind him, security system sets off neuro stun gas, but he is wearing a chem suit and is unaffected.
He walks around some of the back of the truck, and a secondary security system activates, but nothing visible happens.
He opens a door, to move into another compartment, vehicle tries to dial home, but jammers stop it. Mole is electrocuted and knocked back, a manifested Elemental moves into the room with Mole, and knocks him out.
Plan B:
Mark makes illusion of a hole in the road. Vehicle stops, Mark casts invisibility on Shade, who opens another door to the truck and goes in and looks around. Then leaves.
Mark tries to take the ward down, and fails.
Pins tells Shade to go hack the lock, no silly invisibility etc, and gets door open. Shade then steps in, passes out, and falls back after propping door open.
Mark jumps in, then goes invis and levitates, door unjams and closes behind him. He activates manual door release, passes Mole out.
Pins stim patches Shade. Shade stim patches Mole.
Shade steps into truck wearing Mole's ruthenium polymers, Mark levitates him.
Shade then opens some of the inner doors.
A wheeled drone reacts, but sees nothing.
Shade decks into the system, and turns everything off, and opens all doors.
Truck looted, then team does a runner. Team peek into the boxes, and see this is the new Wanatabi super servers.
Shade gets a look at the pic of the Johnson, recognises it as ?????? (Renraku) and so we decide we can't trust him, and decide to give the servers back to Wanatabi.
Cars pull over, and we brief Takumi and Mark on what's happening.
Team decide to hand servers over to Wanatabi, and call him, his head of security flies over to help us.
Brief security guy about the Johnson, and the previous run he hired us on to kill Mr Akatomoto (Chipped Dreams).
Ring johnson, arrange to meet at a warehouse.
Mark astrally scouts, and at the warehouse finds 2 spider-like drones invis on physical plane, and 2 calm heavily cybered chaps.
We brief the Wanatabi security guy, and he tells us the calm people things are actually the banded - people brainwashed and influenced by the renraku AI.
Babylon 5 moment.
Shade points gun at Johnson, he screams 'To the new order' and explodes. Blood splatters over the team.
Wanatabi compensate team 200,000 nuyen - 40K each.
