Hammer considered his answer carefully. Ariel’s message made it clear that all was not going as planned. If there was a dust-up, he could be leading his team into a deathtrap of corporate security just waiting for them. On the other hand, if the security system was still offline, as Ariel said, it was possible the system crash could serve as a distraction for the operation. If Hammer scrubbed the run, the team would never get another chance at their target. Corporate security would be on alert, and they would move the target to a safer location. The run would be for nothing, and the team would be in the red for the expenses they’d already put out. Corporate Johnsons weren’t well known for paying for incomplete or failed shadowruns.
