Ahead of Schedule

## The Meet

Marta Sirkowsky called the runners to the Shadowed Alcove and told them that she had solid intel about a shipment of cyber-eyes, medical equipment and some other 'ware. She offered money, first pick from the cargo and a bonus if the vehicles could be brought in to be sold to a friendly chop-shop. The shipment's most vulnerable point would be along Route 66~~6~~, where it would be too far away for support from any corps or law enforcement.

The shipment would be run by the Terretos (AKA the Family), a humanis affiliated go-gang that went legit when they became the official delivery group for Renraku. The gang is composed almost entirely of bald humans, Whether by genetics, or by haircut.

## Legwork

As the runners drove south they researched the highway to find suitable locations for a chase/ambush and made plans on how to deal with the shipment's support vehicles.

They settled on a location where the highway curved around a rise, preventing those approaching from seeing what came ahead. assuming standard procedure, one of the support vehicles would be ranging ahead, They placed a directional jammer on one of Clutch's Drones to keep it from communicating back to the convoy as they took it out.

## Run

As expected one vehicle scouted ahead to look for traps and hazards. As it approached Clutch and Val started up their cars and brought them up to the legal speed limit. As is sped past Val jumped aboard. A very brief chase ensued as the runner's combined efforts took out the gunner and Val squeezed into the cab and threatened splattered the passenger's head over the dashboard and convinced (ie threatened) the driver to pull over. He did not survive for his compliance.

Working quickly they hid Val's car where it would not be seen by the convoy or roaming biker gangs and reset the trap, just barely making it in time. Using the driver's comm they bluffed the convoy by saying that the scout vehicle had crashed with a civilian while rounding the turn and it slowed to a stop to try to get it back up and running. The ruse didn't last long but it was enough, Clutch's drones rained lead, Óphis and Ssangjeong bricked the transport with an Arrow Link and Val went ham on the remaining crew of the support van, crashing it and walking out all but unscathed.

The muscle on the transport truck tried to escape with the rest of the crew on his shoulders but they were shot down. After taking some time to get the transport fixed everything was driven back home.

## Aftermath

Marta was astonished and the runners got paid.

**V4L\_**: Marta's so fit, I got dinner for this job. The drive, the anxiety of my beloved car being nothing but scrap, not so much. I fucking love Arizona. It's warm, sunny, no fucking rain or clouds. I got to smash skulls in high speed, a win. Got bitches, got paid *big time* and we did it sooo easily. Aiya, I get bitches, and money, and a trip out to Arizona. I looked cool doing it, I survived a car crash, easy stuff. Yawn, yawn.
