8) Welcome Ladies and Gents, Today I have a story of Foolishness and Luck that makes my head hurt. So I decided to share with you.

"The Rush Job" - An Extraction and Counter-Assassination.

Extraction Target - Ares Arms Weapon Designer, Currently Assigned to Knight Errent Weapons Testing Facillity Tacoma Wa.

Counter-Assassination Mark - An Unknown by the name of "X".

The runners are given a complete Dosier on thier extraction target and a pair of pictures of X. They are informed that they have reason to believe that "X" has been contracted to remove "The Weapons Designer." The Job is to make the extraction and remove the Assassin from his chosen line of work forever. The Catch (they have 24 hours before X has guarenteed Her death).

Characters :

1. Cinder : Human Female Str. Sam
2. Sinclair : Human Male Professional Thief
3. Max Karnage : Human Str Mage (Added to the Run late)

So Where was I? oh so after meeting with the Johnson, Cinder and Sinclair decide to just waltz their way into the Corp Housing Building in Tacoma, can you say AA Security. They drive past the place and decide its going to be tough so they call a Contact : Decker named Angelica and ask to have her mess with the system and help them get inside. I know what your thinking... That wasn't so bad actually pretty smart... but it gets alot worse from here. so after managing to bluff their way past the gaurds and passing Retinal and Thumb print scan thanks to Angelica thye are inside. So taking the Elevator to the fourth floor they bypass the Locking and Alarm on the Door and Shazzam they are inside the Weapon designers High lifestyle Apartment. After realizing she's not home they decide to trash the place looking for info or anything of value. That when Cinder finds the Colt Manhunter in the sock Drawer... HMMMMM any alarm bells or Red flags going off in your head? well not in theirs they just think great anouther gun for the Collection. After about two hours of rifling through the Apartment they decide that there is nothing more of Value and Decide to just wait for her to come home. Now mind you its 2:30 AM at this point, and they have noticed that there is not alot in the way of personal Effects in the apartment just close take out food and a Tooth brush... (Corp Lady is busy and almost never home).

So during there time trashing her apartment they decide to call anouther contact and ask his assistance... ENTER Mage... They tell him that they are registared to room 412 even though they are in 414, because the decker set them up as residence of 412 even though some old woman lives there. So the mage shows up on the door step of the Building and tells security he is here to See the resident of 412 the guards don't recognize him so they ring 412... The old woman answers and says she doesn't know him and the guards make him leave... So Max calls the other runners and asked them "what the DREK?" So Cinder walks down to the front lobby and escorts him up... Now the Knight Errent Guys watching the door are not exactly Dumb... So I rool a perception test to see if they remember her from earlier... and NOPE I BOTCH THE ROLL. So now there are Three of them in an Apartment in AA security Waiting for a Corp Weapons Designer to come home.

3:15 AM The Corp comes home and walks into her apartment to find the group waiting for her. Cinder pulls her Predator 3 that she somehow managed to slip past security and tells her to freeze. Meanwhile Sinclair and Max argue over what to do with her....

Cinder decides to have her sit quietly with her hands in her lap... Corp lady makes defaulted Stealth roll to activate her wristphone and call the security desk.
Meenwhile they are trying to decide how to get her out of the building. Cinder realizes after a few seconds what is going on and takes the phone and destroys it. But when security checks the number in their records they realize it is the number for the resident of 414... "hey hasn't there been alot of movement on the fourth floor tonight?" "yea now that you mention it" , and so security pulls up the cameras for the Fourth Floor just in time to See Cinder pushing the corp lady into the Elevator. They scramble a squad of four Guys in light security aromor to the Parking structure and force the elevator to skip all floors and go directly there. Meanwhile Sinclair and Max have walked out the front door easy as pie due to not having been seen on Camera and the fact that the door guards have changed shift and are paying more attention to keeping people out then keeping them in.

Now I know what your thinking... security in light Armor with Assualt rifles equals one dead SAM... Yea you would thinks right. NOPE did I mention that they had managed to get through security with 2 Grenades and a Predator 3... I couldn't beleive their luck. So security has an ugly suprise when the elevator opens... going first cinder thrown the grenade under the patrol car and covers the corp womans body with hers. BOOM, Lots of injured Security guys lying on the ground around the remains of the Vehicle they used. Cinder takes a moderate wound in the blast and walks casually over to her Motercycle which is parked in the structure.. Climbing on her Aurora she tosses her other grenage at the gate and rides out free and clear... Lone star resonse was 3 rounds and she was gone in 2 so no pursuit... however her face is all over the internal security monitors...

I shook my head and called it quits for the night and now I'm waiting to see what they will do next...
