## Summary

The edgerunners were hired to go to the opera and spy on a woman named Cora Reese, who was an Ambassador for NASA. Upon entering the opera the edgerunners recgonized several faces in the crowd of well-dressed patrons. They told Tubbs and Crockett over comms that the individuals they identified were agents working against someone named James Bond or Jason Bourne.

Ko recognized the names as covert solos with an extremely hard reputation. They weren't well-known, because of the nature of their business, but for those who did know, their rep was on the same level as John Wick. Tubbs and Crockett asked the edgerunners if they were sure they wanted to go through with this mission; they didn't expect to be involved with something involving agents as dangerous as John Wick.

The edgerunners agreed to go forward with the mission. Ko and Sanaa tried to follow the target into her box, which she was sharing with a man that several of the edgerunners recognized as "Saint Lucifer," an agent with the Shadow Corp. They were stopped outside the booth by Saint Lucifer's bodyguard.

Shift and Colt, meanwhile, took their seats in the main auditoreum, where they commanded an overall view of the opera. They spotted a woman in a yellow dress stand up and push her way quietly and unobtrusively through a fire door. By Colt and Shift's description of her, Sanaa was able to recognize the woman as Ilsa Faust, a covert operative who recently defected from Arasaka and now worked with Atomic Blonde.
Colt and Shift tried to follow Ilsa but they drew too much attention to themselves. They were shushed and told to leave so Colt responded by pulling a badge and yelling that there was a medical emergency. The music stopped and the lights focused down on Colt.

Then there was the sound of a gunshot. Cora Reese collapsed, shot in the head, but still alive. Saint Lucifer grabbed Cora and pulled her out of the box. Ilsa Faust jumped from a scenic tower and used the tearing curtain to land safely and run off stage. Just then Atomic Blonde broke into their comms. She brokered a deal with Tubbs and Crockett to save Ilsa Faust. Tubbs and Crockett demanded information in return. Atomic Blonde promised to give them any information on this operation they wanted in return for their help. Night City Vice re-tasked the edgerunners with the protection of Ilsa Faust. Ko and Sanaa strapped into her mech while Colt dove in the Testarossa and Shift into the Daytona Spyder.

They pulled up behind a chase between Ilsa on her Triumph motorcycle, in the lead, and a number of Landrovers and Qadra muscle cars in pursuit. Sanaa began the negotiations with a rocket that hit both Landrovers. Colt rammed Franco Bullitt's mustang off the road. Shift blew a hole in the engine block of the Mercedes McClaren Saint Lucifer was riding. The edgerunners completely dismantled the pursuit force and, at Night City Vice's instruction, allowed Ilsa to esape toward a secret safe house. Night City Vice paid the edgerunners for a job well done.
