## Summary

Edgerunners who have had any kind of reputation for their recent exploits in Night City were contacted by an unknown Fixer that called them all into one group call, gave them the mission through a vocoder over agent, gave them coordinates, hired a pilot to take them to and from a location, and provided the device with binoculars that they needed to use.

They arrive at the location, and as the pilot recommends they jump out without needing him to attempt to land, Emmerson and Rando decide to stay on the chopper, while Arvid and Juniper jumped and landed safely, whereas Gambler broke his leg jumping out of the chopper. Despite knowing that they have about five minutes to setup the device at one of the coordinates, the crew take a minute to quick-fix Gambler's leg, allowing them all to head to the correct location thanks to his knowledge in surviving the wilderness.

At their first coordinate, they figure out that they need to setup a basic "from the old corporate war" device on a tripod, aim it at a building, and press a button. The device shows a timer of 21 seconds, just as the Edgerunners realize an air-strike was called for the location they had targeted, but also notice that the location had what looked like innocent bystanders. Jumping into action, Rando runs straight towards the structure yelling and waving his arms in the air, as do Juniper and Emerson. Whereas Gambler and Arvid figured out that it's too dangerous and potentially lethal for them to go there, and decided to head back to the pickup-zone.

Within a matter of seconds, the crew running to the house sprint their fastest and making quick-work of what looked like aggressive guards standing outside the building. With well-placed aimed-shots to the guard's arm to drop a weapon, an aimed head-shot, and a well-placed body-shot that put down the two guards outside, allowing the crew to enter the location and find the innocents who had to be rescued. Immediately, they work together to both grab and persuade the group of them to run outside with the Edgerunners towards what looked like an old rickety school-bus. Making sure all of the hostages were on the bus, the crew hop on and with the help of Emmerson, they drive out of there quickly in reverse for as far as they could get before they have to bootlegger turn, knowing that an aerial-attack is oncoming.

About three seconds later, one of the flying jets shoots at the chopper after three warnings for the pilot to get out of their way, and their other shots go into the target building. Blasting the building to rubble, and blasting the helicopter to nearly exploding just as the pilot jury-rigs it and barely makes it out of there with the large shockwave just behind them, while Juniper and Rando encouraged Emerson to do a jump off a hill which allowed them to 'ride the shockwave'. In doing so, all the Edgerunners and the newly rescued members finally make it out alive, against all odds and potential of complete obliteration, and get on the helicopter while hanging on the outside to make room for others to sit inside making sure they get back to Night City within the short amount of time they have left before the helicopter broke-down again.
Finally arriving in Night City, Rando is confident that this is the doing of "Black Chrome", an unknown entity whose sole purpose is to turn Night City on its head and break everything; as the rumors say based on Gambler's knowledge. Juniper asks the pilot to let her take care of six of the rescued kids, who are now in her care.
