GM: Posh
Players: Blackheart, Miyo, Posh, Scurry
Synopsis: A ‘new’ Johnson contacts Posh with an opportunity: to gather a team and hear a no-questions asked proposal, very time sensitive extraction, yes or no, discretion required. She accepts, figuring things will be nice and easy. They could have been, but instead things went a little bit awry. What should have been an easy stop and overwhelm turned into a brief but very dangerous street battle as bodyguards tried to get their charge to safety. Posh was taken down by fire, but survived due to Miyo’s skill, while Scurry was able to take down the target and Blackheart took down the shootin’ opposition. Cleaning up their mess quickly, they drove away and left the target at the location required, before heading back to the clinic for rest, recovery, and /lots/ of painkillers.
Date: 12/18/2075
«Plot» Posh says, "

Spell Success Cap: Force * 1.5 (round up)
Trusting Posh in the care of the crackerjack surgeon assistant team in the back, Blackheart takes a round about route back towards Sal's Coffin Inn for the drop off, making sure to drive nice and safe, with use of the auto nav. "We'll have to call Rollo to bondo these holes.. Sorry for getting yoru baby shot up," blackheart apologizes.
Posh frowns a little bit, applying lipstick to her lips. She's dolling all up in a black suit and such - pants, no skirt, and then emerges into the living room at the Keeps. "I just received a very interesting call," she says. "A dark drop, you could say, requesting a small service," she says. "There's very little information about it at all. A request for an opportunity, to perform a specific task, for a simple payment of fifteen thousand each, no questions asked," she says. "I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean…it's obviously corp, right? But I've got no idea who," she says. "But a job like this? Totally deniable usually. Seems like someone's operating old school."
She smiles. "I'm interested to see how this plays out. I'd like to represent myself as effective to a new potential customer. Anyone willing to take a plunge and…do something that we're being paid to forget?"
Miyo is sitting on the couch in the living room when Posh comes out and starts chatting about her call. The fox listens fairly intently. The prospect of going out and doing something was quite appealig, as she was a little bored at the moment. "I suppose. That doesn't tell me a lot about what I'd be getting into, but I trust you."
Scurry swivels to attention. He raises his hand. "I." He says. "I am very interested in transaction-based amnesia."
Posh gives a grin to Scurry as she sees him. "Well," she says. "I don't know where this offer came from, but…" She shrugs. "Anyway, shall we get in my van and head out?"
The rhetorical question unanswered, she grins. "By the way, I've got some new comm kits. This might be trouble or something. Make sure you're ready," she says. "Remember. A new meet like this is…well, we should scout it out first, make sure it seems clean."
The meet location is a small, cheap motel in the CAS sector. Posh does a sensor search, and gives Scurry a request to check the astral. "Let's get set up with these taccomms before we head in, all right?" she says. "We should have everything to run a proper network now."
Miyo nods. "Well, in that case… let me go get dressed." Miyo is /dressed/ but not in mission appropriate stuff, so she disappears for a bit and then returns, ready to go. "So, scouting it out? That should be easy enough. Hopefully they aren't looking for trouble already and we should have no problem!"
Anyone putting on one of the harnesses and connecting their taccomm should be able to see, either on image link, or on their personal output unit, a map, a health display for each team member, and positioning updated by GPS, as well as a feed from the built-in micro-camcord. "Looks like it's all a go." She grins. "Now we won't be out of mind, even if we are out of sight."
"I mean… What do your Super Jay senses say?" Scurry asks of Posh, his eyes adrift.
Posh gives Scurry a bit of a scowl. "Well," she says. "I can't tell. It could be a trap, or it could be a new source of business," she says. "It's just like the trids! I'm almost excited. "She grins. "Let's make sure we scout the sight, though - properly.
She pulls the rust-decorated Luna into the parking lot of a diner across from the motel.
"We don't get to expense waffles," Scurry mutters.
Blackheart arrives to the meeting wearing her lined longcoat over her gear. Her collar's popped up and her mirror shades reflect the street lights as she walks out of the diner. «There you are, thought you'd never make it» she smiles.
Posh chuckles a bit and she nods. "Well, scouting at first. We've got a new offer," she says, glancing around, and checking the van's sensors. She frowns a bit as she performs a sweep.

Posh frowns a bit, looking down at her screen. "No, it seems like nothing," she says. "Do you see anything in the hoodoo world?" she asks, turning to give a flash of a smile over to Blackheart and Scurry.

Blackheart peers about the building they're casing as she leans against a streetlight, making like she's looking down at her phone while she looks over the area, checking for any active spell signatures or spirits roaming about with purpose.
Blackheart sees nothing in the astral except the scurrying of a few rats, as well as Scurry, of course, as well as the other live forms. With the cost clear, Posh shrugs and hops out of the van, leading everyone to cross the street and head to the motel room, looking around warily. But it's a poor area, and there aren't cameras everywhere, just the occasional panicbutton booth on the street.
When entering the motel room in question, the trid is already on, and the remote control is neatly left in the center of the made bed.
"Well, this is creepy," Blackheart observes, checking out the empty motel room. She keeps her hand near her weapon as she checks out the bathroom in the back, just in case before she returns to join the group in front of the trideo screen, where presumably their brief will come from.

Posh looks to the others. "Hmm," she says.
Miyo is able to detect a number of rather unpleasant smells in the dirty motel room. Well, it's not dirty so much as that…it could use a good reconditioning, and there are stains of uncertain provenance in the carpet.
Posh reaches for the remote and presses it, trying out 'Input' and the trid screen automatically changes inputs and something begins to play.
There is the picture of a man, it seems, with a briefcase chained to his wrist. The man appears to be of medium height, medium build, medium everything, in a fine (but not tres chic) cut suit. "This man you see here," he says. "Will be traveling via secure limousine, with his guards. You are to extract him, and leave his briefcase. You are to kill exactly two of his three bodyguards. You are to leave absolutely no evidence of the use of purposeful nonlethal weaponry. You are to cover your activities as if you were a member of the Red Horses," it says, showing a number of gang colors and signs, a few mugshots of a number of different gang members.
"The target will be departing on this route through the CAS Sector in one hour," says the masked voice. Just a small snippet of the route is shown, listed as 'Start and Finish' between them, going through a B-zone and an A-zone. "When you have acquired the person of the man in question, deliver him, alive, to behind the laundromat near Sal's Coffin Motel," the voice says. "Press 'Menu' on the remote to confirm your acceptance of these details. Your discretion is assumed."
Scurry listens while watching, unconsciously nodding his head in response as he assimilates the facts of the mission. He says nothing, but raises his hand to Posh before making the "money money money" gesture with an arched brow.
Miyo crinkles her nose beneath her half-mask somewhat at the smells in the room. "Gross…" She, like the others probably do, watches the video in relative silence. However, at the mention of the Red Horses, she glances to Posh, secretly hoping she knew what their methods were so they could accurately represent them beyond just looks.
"Some odd specifics," Blackheart observes while the image goes on. "I think this is doable," she says, nodding her head to Scurry's gesture. "The trouble will be not dropping all three guards."
"What is to be done with the third guard, and how much is he to witness." It is not a question from Scurry; just a statement.
Posh frows as she looks down. "The job said, no questions asked," she says. "Clearly he's supposed to witness what's meant to be a kidnapping," she says. "So…I suppose that might work," she says, arching an eyebrow. "Why, have you got something up your sleeve? Should I accept?" she asks. "I have a feeling this J is a bit of a micromanager. Still, I do love it when they give clear definitions for what we'll get paid for."
"I'm fine with all of that. We'll do just fine." Scurry is no-nonsense. "But I expect adequate compensation."
Miyo shrugs. "It seems pretty straight forward. I think we can handle it."
Posh nods. "Indeed," she says, pressing Menu. The screen changes.
"JOB PAYMENT: ACCEPTED. PAYMENT: 35k each.
SERVICES: INTELLIGENCE -5000ea
RESPONSE MANAGEMENT -15000ea
PAMENT OFFERED: 15000ea for 4.
She gives a smile at Miyo. "Indeed," she says. "I… think we can too," she says, a little surprised. "Though the fact that you don't know Miyo is indeed concerning," she says. "I mean, she has been sort of rattling around longer than even you." She gives a wink. "Maybe we should change that a bit. After all, she's become far more professional in the last few months." She nods. "All right."
"We don't have time," she says, as the payout is accepted. "I feel like this one we're a cog in the machine. You could see the predefined services. Maybe the J is screwing us over, but…well, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be eager for us to advertise this. So sure, it's risky, but I'd like to go out on a limb," she says. "All right. It's back to the Keeps to disguise up," she says. "We're making this one lound, and nasty, and so it'll look ganglike. All we've got to do is swerve in front and hit their limo with a Zapper. Then we smash and run."
And Posh gives a smile. "Let's get out of here," she says, dropping the remote. The meet didn't say anything else, and the trid blinks off.
"We have to assume that we're being hired in this manner because of some of the gigs we've done," she says. "But…with the van, and with a chance like this, well, it sort of seems like there's a chance at some easy money for gigs. We must have a rep as a trigger team," she says, thoughtfully.

Posh sends a command for the van to pick folks up, in the parking lot, since the area seems not very troublesome. On the way over to the stash, she's already busting out the disguise kit, to make the team look like they're the members of the pictured gang. "So," she says. "Who needs guns or other kit?" she asks. "Seems like they wanted us to use the EXEX, and the best idea I've got for the stunning is, well, magic. Perfectly reasonable for a mage to have high rating stunbolts if they haven't learned other attack spells, right?" she asks. "So that'll be your job, especially, Scurry: You've gotta take down one of the guards, nonlethally, in addition to the target, perhaps. And we've gotta cover that, while making it look like a gang hit," she says. "So EXEX, a van in gang colors, and we hit in the lowest surveillance spot on the route. Sound good?" she asks, beginning to analyze the prepped route for a place in the B-Zone that looks good, or if it has to be in the A-Zone.
Posh circles an area of the map. "Here," she says. "The response is likely to be long enough. And the camera coverage is spotty, unlike in the A Zone.” She frowns. "Still, they'll probably be ready for trouble. It'll be unlikely that we can get a full drop on them there. Still, that sounds pretty good to me," she says." She then begins to work on her Red Horses disguises, with Blackheart’s advice, until she’s finished decking out herself and Miyo and Blackheart. “All right, ganger coats or cloaks on top,” she says, before she grins over at Scurry with her makeup brush. "You need something, or are you covered?" she asks, brightly.
Blackheart hmms, "EXEX might be a bit high calibur for some shitty street gang, though," she says, directing Posh as they quickly do up their costumes, "Yeah, like a chess piece on the armband, and some tac vests." she says as she draws one on with a red marker. "We could stop the limo with a bunch of mollies, get the windshield on fire and they'll have to stop."
Miyo gets all disguised up and what not - which probably doesn't take too much. "I agree… fancy ammo might be a bit much."
Posh shakes her head at Blackheart. "The Red Horses aren't like…a shitty street gang," she says. "They run guns and drugs," she says. "I mean, EXEX isn't any harder to get your hands on than normal bullets, it's just a bit more expensive," she says, nodding to Scurry, with a small smile.
"Lost has…well, let's just say…she told me that she's had some personal business to tie up. Did she not get in touch with you?" she asks, with a frown, with a stop, a glance at Miyo for a moment, before she sighs, and smiles sadly, as if a decision's being made.
Miyo peers suspiciously at Posh when she is sighed at. "What?"
The van proceeds on its way over to the target sector - there's just simply nut much more time before the arranged extraction is to big. Posh, meanwhile, takes the time to check over the IWS Multi-launcher. "Anyone good with a launch weapon?" she asks. "I could use help designating on this thing…"
Blackheart grabs a few clips of the ammunition and loads it up into her harness. "So for stopping the limo, what do you think? I like the idea of a couple of molotovs, then having them hit an ice sheet. The bodyguards won't likely be wearing seatbelts, so it should rattle them enough that we can get in and out before they respond intelligently.
Posh finally nods. She gives Scurry a soft look, and then she sighs. "I actually do hope we'll all take an effort to get to know each other a little better when we're…sharing a little more space. Even BillyBob. He's a capital fellow."
Posh nods. "Well," she says. "How fast does that fancy spell of yours dig?" she asks. "My first idea was a zapper, but yes, that's a bit high profile. Not just that, I don't have many left, and they're very hard to acquire."

Posh fondles the rocket laucher almost sadly, but she glances back at Scurry and Blackheart with a grin. "I mean, this isn't a shipment. They've got a principal to protect. If the car is stopped, they're getting him out of the car as soon as possible," she says, with a nod. "Well," she says. "Waht if we forced them onto a patch of earth or something?" she asks.
Posh nods to Scurry, arching an eyebrow. "Why don't we just hit them and get out fast?" she asks. "Response seems like we'd have…at least thirty seconds in the B-Zone," she says.
"I think the ice sheet is our best bet, low key and works anywhere," Blackheart says. "Trying to get them to drive through a park will be too difficult with only twenty minutes.."
Posh frowns a bit. "I don't like splitting up. Our capabilities are too much, and…why are we splitting the two?" she asks, looking back at Scurry. "Unless we wanted to give the rest of the crew more time?" She nods. "That's true. If I used a zapper in a B-Zone, we'd have an astral scout on site in a heartbeat, as I understand these things."

Time seems to be ticking down. THe encounter seems to be getting closer. "All right, let's do all the plans. We try the ice sheet first, if that crashes the car, great," she says, thinking. "I'll zapper the vehicle if that doesn't work, and you three jump out, and I'll lead the response away, like Scurry says," she says. "I'll shake them and then come back 'round to pick the four of you up. Sound good?"
"Sounds good." Scurry immediately adds the plans for each member of the team to the map.

Blackheart," she says, driving the vehicle up to pull a little closer up as the target limo gets in sight on the van's trid screens. "Let's do this," she says, setting the autonav now and then hiding outside of line of sight with the IWS multi-launcher

Blackehart uses her foci to turn invisible, but thanks to their new taccom system, everyone knows where she is! TEAMWORK!! She peeks out of the van they take to the zone, and spots a good location. The street is dry and it's on a bend so the car will be turning. «Okay, I'll try to surprise them there, and with luck, they'll skidd into those posts over there» she says. Worrying on her lip as she watches through the window, waiting for just the right moment to make them skid out.

Posh brings the van to a SKREEEEEE near as possible to the crashed van. A crash in the B-Zone doesn't bring an astral scout right away, and Posh gives a grin. "All right," she says, as a few of the crashed people painfully emerge from it, already alert, the bodyguards trying to rush their principal out of the car, focusing on the stopped van. "Let's do this." And then she's sprinting, in her disguise, out of the back of the van, gyrojets whirring as she takes the risky spot out in the open, giving room for others to hop into cover on the smashed vehicle or elsewhere.

The bodyguards had hustled and shoved the target out the same side, the more open side, eager to get the principal to safety - they're running and looking around for threats, none of them overly surprised as they see Posh running out, trying to get a fix on them, a couple of them opening up shots at the sprinting figure!
«Plot» Posh says, "Blackheart up first."
With Posh kicking open the doors, Blackheart takes a knee and brings both of her ingram smartguns up to pepper the first two bodyguards with explosive ammo! "Get to cover quick!!" she warns Posh, seeing the guards bringing their weapons up to shoot her.

It seems like Posh has once again badly misalculated the situation. The sprinting lass had been running to try to gain an advantage, but she was a step slow, and they were quick as all get out. It seems that was the surprise - these aren't just regular bodyguards, all three of them are obviously on some kinda twitch cyber! And they're solid shots, too.
Posh staggers to the ground, bleeding very badly, under the hail of bullets - it seems like she clearly took no less than eight bullet wounds all at once. It's a good thing that she's set up that biomonitor system - well, it looks like the medical alert's working correctly!

The bodyguards don't let out a cheer or anything as they focus their fire on Posh, bringing her down as she gets through her first few steps professionally, as they should, leaving the woman to pump blood onto the groudnd, everywhere. The bodyguard who Blackheart wounded fires a ragged pair of bursts in her direction - while the target seems to panic and moves to run.
Blackheart recovers from her dodge and leans back out around the door of the van, blasting the running bodyguards once again, sending a trail of explosions nipping at their heels as they beat feet down the road!
«Plot» Posh says, "Judging by the earlier TNs, the targets stopped to shoot at Posh. Target stationary."

Scurry steps forth from the van, looking for a free moment…ah yes. He extends his hand, a little dramatically, as Blackheart drops one of the guards protecting the fleeing man protected by his guards completely, opening up a clear path for him to…yes. Scurry knows that he has done the necessary task, at the correct time, for that is his approach. Just the faintest smile flickers at the corner of his mouth, even if he looks grey and drained a bit.
«Plot» Posh says, "Scurry has used all KP and takes L Stun."

The fleeing man who had been seen in the video with the briefcase around his wrist suddenly drops like a stone, heavily, to the ground, the bodyguards around him suddenly surprised and alarmed, even as blood fountains out of one of them on the ground - just as the Johnson had desired. There seems to be the sound of a number of sirens already, but they seem like they must be a minute away from the muffling. At this point, the other two bodyguards are already in a bad way, one of them moving as they spray defensive fire wildly, apparently panicking.

Blackheart's targeting sights zoom in on the one bodyguard's hand and the little reticule blinks twice with target lock. Her SMG lets out a burst, exploding the bodyguard's hand to bits. With luck, his health coverage will get him a sweet Posh arm in the future! The rest of her attention is focused on the last guard, the more healthy looking one of the two as she brings both guns to bare, blasting away relentlessly!

With the body guards out of commission, Blackheart hops out of the van and dashes down the road to grab hold of the client's body, using all her strength to drag him back towards the awaiting van while Scurry tends to Posh. "Jesus this guy's heavy," she groans. "Come on… Oh crap his pants gave way," she grimaces as the dragged man's pants pull down around his ankles. "Oh gawd.."
Scurry glances back to Blackheart as it looks like Miyo has things with the bleeding Posh well in hand. "The spells? The blood?" he says, working on his own astral signatures, not particularly helpful as Blackheart drags the man to the van.
It's an awkward scene as Blackheart tries to pile the limp noodle of a man with his pants around his ankles into the bullet ridden van. "Aw fuck it," she says, dropping him down and then giving it a go with her levitate spell. She nods her head to Scurry, "Right," she says, and she begins a quick few moments of sterilizing the blood pool in the street where Posh fell.

Posh bleeds far less copiously now, on the floor of the van.
Scurry goes to check on her, to prepare the powerful spell that he will apply in the comfort of the clinic. "We've got to get her there quick," she says. "Otherwise she'll be off her feet for a while.
Trusting Posh in the care of the crackerjack surgeon assitant team in the back, Blackheart takes a round about route back towards Sal's Coffin Inn for the drop off, making sure to drive nice and safe, with use of the auto nav. "We'll have to call Rollo to bondo these holes.. Sorry for getting yoru baby shot up," Blackheart apologizes.
Blackheart is able to command the autonav to take the van, which pulls away from the night scene, the sounds of sirens in the distance playing as the man is dropped off. There is a public bathroom stall at the location, with nothing but a picture of the man in question, taped to the door of the stall. It's a well chosen spot for a drop, deserted.
Brought around a bit, her iron will still rather helpful, Posh chuckles. "Well…she's got the armor. Thanks for…dragging me out of that…I'll have to remember. Smoke grenade…if I'm trying that move." She coughs lightly - she was a little wheesy, no doubt a little lungshot, but the morphine jab in her leg is probably fun. "Still, not a…fuck. Would have been a lovely little job with a better tactical approach." She grins. "Got to…get better."
