## Summary

The edgerunners were hired by Atomic Blonde for a kidnapping exchange. She explained to the edgerunners that a man known as The Austrian had kidnapped a man named Tomas Cruz, and that Atomic Blonde, for reasons she preferred to keep to herself, felt responsible for Mr. Cruz' safety. The Austrian was asking for a memory chip in return for Mr. Cruz' life. Atomic Blonde hired the edgerunners to give The Austrian the memory chip, but only after the Austrian gave them a living, breathing Tomas Cruz.

The edgerunners did their own research and discovered that the Austrian was a part of a Militech cell of assassins, each with handles referring to specific country names. In addition to "The Austrian" there was "The German", "The Hungarian", and at one time, "The Czech", thought it appeard The Czech had defected from the organization. The only member of the Assassins Cell that wasn't named after a countery was a Stallone poser ganger known as "Cobra". When Militech let the assassins off their leash they often worked freelance as edgerunners for extra cash and fun.

Atomic Blonde gave the edgerunners the memory chip: It had "Jason Bourne" embossed on it along with two skulls. She told the edgerunners that she suspected Militech was the one pulling The Austrian's strings. Militech wanted the memory chip. However, The Austrian wanted her. She and the Austrian have fought before, she came out on top, and the Austrian wanted revenge. For that reason he insisted that she come and deliver the memory chip herself. She told the edgerunners she was too busy for this nonsense, she had multiple ops running that she was overseeing, which is why she hired them to deliver the chip, instead. She told the edgerunners not to worry: as long as they had the chip The Austrian wouldn't kill them. His goons might, but they should be able to kill the goons and the Austrian has never cared about his goons. Her advice: kill whoever they need to kill until they can talk the Austrian directly and then exchange the chip for Tomas Cruz. She would pay them 350 for the exchange, and would pay them more if they somehow managed to get Tomas and not give up the chip. She had a combat cab driver named Travis on retainer to take them to the meet in the old combat zone.

Travis dropped the edgerunners off near the basketball court where the exchange was taking place. It was surrounded by five-story tall buildings. As they approached the edgerunners were seen by gunmen on the roofs of the building. They warned the edgerunners to leave. The edgerunners pretended to leave, but were really just going to cover. When that became clear a firefight ensued.

The militech gunmen and the edgerunners fought back-and-forth. Norax was seperated from the others, was grabbed, choked out, and thrown into a car. Fortunately the militech goons didn't know he was carrying the chip. The other edgerunners managed to fight their way to the basketball court, where they found The Austrian on a roadbike. Sitting behind him was Tomas Cruz, one hand handcuffed to the bike and the other to The Austrian himself. Boss-Man negotiated with the Austrian and successfully bluffed that he had the chip. The Austrian gave up Tomas Cruz and the edgerunners told him to search the pockets of Norax. The militech goons did so and found the chip. The edgerunners did a runner with Tomas Cruz, the militech goons threw Norax' unconscious body out of the car, and both parties went their seperate ways. Atomic Blonde was satisfied with the result of the mission and paid the edgerunners her promised fee.
