## Summary

Three clowns shoot gangers, runners, and also each other while attempting to blow up a rundown motel in Redmond full of betameth.

## Background

An unidentified non-market commcode contacted Nylish, Drain, and Sea Breeze, directing them to show up at Redmond Inn at Sunset, Room 2, ready to work.

## Run

Sea Breeze takes the bus, which drops her off just outside Touristville. She's briefly stopped by a group of Crimson Crush, who she tells off. When a rival gang approaches, they become distracted and she uses mind magic to provoke them into fighting each other while she continues on her way.

Drain and Nylish meet up in the parking lot of the motel and briefly debate what weapons they should bring to the meet. After a brief conversation with the others, Drain decides to bring his RPK in a duffel bag. The three pass by a disinterested ork motel attendant to go to room two. They find nobody inside and no traps, though there is a piece of paper on the bed and a peep hole in the wall. There is nobody on the other side after investigation. The e-paper note specifies that they should "clean out" Room 22, then bring any "mail" they find down to the front desk. No payment is specified.

Unsure of what was going on but too curious to turn down the "work," they head up to Room 22 and knock. They're met by a voice telling them to go away. Assuming that the job is to kill or apprehend anyone inside, Drain and Nylish break the room, accidentally using so much force that the entire front wall comes down. They find a naked woman and a troll in bed, and a dwarf working on a briefcase of electronics.

Drain, not remembering what ammo he loaded in the machinegun, shoots the troll, killing him instantly with APDS. Nylish rushes in to grapple the dwarf, shouting at Drain to knock him out. Instead, Drain fires directly at them, killing the dwarf and hitting Nylish. While the two are arguing in the aftermath, Sea Breeze executes the woman in the room, having assumed that she was severely injured and bleeding out.

Nylish chastises both of them and starts an argument, then takes the briefcase bomb down to the front desk. With everyone seemingly having escaped the motel, the group inspects the area, finding a large amount of betameth wrapped up for storage. While no detonators or primers were available, Nylish constructs a makeshift detonator from one of Drain's bullets and a prepaid commlink and arms the bomb.

While leaving, a team of Crimson Crush members arrive to investigate the commotion. Sea Breeze runs out to distract them by claiming that the shooter is still inside on the second floor while Drain and Nylish hide back in Room 2. Once the gangers head upstairs, the team runs out of the parking lot, jumps in their cars, and drives off. While Nylish is arguing with Sea Breeze, she attempts to detonate the bomb but receives no confirmation message, then realizes that the reinforced concrete motel walls was blocking the signal.

The three return to the parking lot to head back in to detonate the bomb manually. The Crimson Crush members sally out of the motel to fight them, but are heavily suppressed by Nylish's minigun fire. Drain shoots at them until their mage summons a spirit. Realizing that he was in grave danger due to being dual natured, Sea Breeze attacks the spirit in the astral, and when it comes after her, Drain finishes it off with a bite. Nylish eliminates everyone except for the mage with the minigun.

Sea Breeze, feeling especially spiteful, uses mind magic to direct the mage to shoot himself so that Drain cannot feed off of him. Drain rushes over to subdue and disarm the mage. Realizing that he was in the same position as herself earlier and that the time for revenge was now, Nylish runs over to shoot both Drain and the mage, killing the mage in the process.

The bomb is detonated and everyone leaves before Crimson Crush reinforcements can arrive.

## Aftermath

The three are sent a location from a burner commlink. Nylish races Drain over there, where they find a safety deposit box with credsticks inside. After more arguments, the three head out.

## Rewards

* 1 Karma (2 base, -1 for Hooker Execution)
* 20,000 Nuyen
* 2 CDP
* Nylish and Drain are even.

## Quotes

```
immediately before the "meet," two machine gunners in the parking lot wondering if
they should show up strapped:
"What do you think? The krime wave or the RPK?" - Drain
"Bring the krime wave! The RPK's too, like, formal, you know? You wanna be more
casual, like, you don't want to say "I'm here to fuck shit up," you want to say
'I'm here to MAYBE fuck shit up if you don't listen to what I have to say,'
right?" - Nylish
"What about the shield?" - Drain
"Waaaay too formal! Besides, who needs defense?" - Nylish

```

```
Krime Confederate: no game too big, most game too small.

```

```
"Room service!" - Nylish
"I didn't order any - "
Nylish and Drain knock actually the entire front wall of the room over
with breaching kicks.

```

```
"I killed a hooker! thats 7 years of bad luck!" - Drain, who only thought he
killed the hooker

```

```
"Knock him out!" - Nylish with enemy dwarf in a headlock
"I COMPLEX FULL AUTO" - Otter
"**NO!**" - Everyone
"She is an Orc she has that THICC hide to save her!" - Otter

```

```
"What the fuck is your problem, I said KNOCK HIM OUT!" - Nylish, brushing a
large amount of gore off of her
"I thought it was a good idea at the time." - Drain
"I had him in a head lock! You hit me! What if he had a biomonitor rigged to
that bomb! I mean, he didn't, because we're not all dead, but still!"
- Nylish, picking a bullet out of her vest and throwing it at Drain's head
Then Sea Breeze shoots the surviving hooker in the head.

```

```
Nylish DNI: Drain, I know you're a mouthbreather but damn,
please BREATH QUIETER
Nylish DNI: Fuck I DIDN'T HIDE THE BOMB
Drain DNI: Is a medical problem! If I got my soul glue fix I wouldn't!
Nylish DNI: oh my goooddddddddddddddddd
Drain DNI: Is medical problem! Why are you blaming me

```

```
Nylish glaring at Sea Breeze as she hops in her car.
"Why are you mad at me? He shot you! I just put her out of her misery."
- Sea Breeze
"Oh, *excuuuse me*, I forgot I can't be mad at more than one thing at a
time. Don't you deflect this on him, I don't want to hear it! I'm so mad
almost forgot to detonate the bomb." - Nylish, immediately before the
bomb fails to detonate

```

```
bomb fails to detonate
Nylish DNI: DRAIN GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE IT DIDN'T GO OFF
Drain DNI: WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDN'T GET OFF?!
Nylish DNI: I'm supposed to get a confirmation message that it's going
off, the walls were too thick.
drain just stops and drives in reverse for a block

```

```
"COME AND GET ME YOU LIMP DICK BITCH" - Sea Breeze, running away to
hide after shooting a spirit with mana bolt

```

```
*Nylish miniguns a mage in half that Drain was grappling trying to drain,*
*also shooting him in the process.*
"There, now we're even!" - Nylish

```

```
"I haven't done any simping full autos. I have only done complex." - Otter

```

```
"See? You're saying that shooting all of these guys isn't bad, but I
shoot one and it's terrible?" - Sea Breeze
*Nylish picks up a dead guy by the body armor.*
"Except, like, these guys are wearing armor. And have guns! And shoot!
And are *wearing clothes!*" - Nylish
"Yeah but you have *that*" *motions to minigun* "and they have *this.*"
*Picks up pistol.* - Sea Breeze
"Shut up, everybody knows that it's not the size that matters, it's
how you use it!" - Nylish
"And other jokes you can tell yourself! What are you going to tell me
next, that gel is better than APDS!?" - Sea Breeze
