Perfect Stranger

## Summary

The edgerunners responded to a call for help from Night City Vice. The arrived to find Switek, Zito and Trudy pinned down behind a destroyed armored van. They were in the entrance to a shipping container yard and moored container ship beyond it. They were taking sniper fire from the ship's control tower and Trudy was trying to motivate the terrified Switek and Zito to come with her to go save Gina and the Lieutenant.

The edgerunners immediately volunteered to help them go after Castillo and Gina, Mr. K volunteering to lead the way with his four bulletproof shields and Colt providing covering fire suppression. Colt took a shot the moment he broke the corner but his suppressive fire sent a beefy red chromer running for cover. Mr. K started advancing, only to get jumped by a second red chromer. Trudy bolted for a car behind which were two bodies -- Castillo and Gina. A sixth street ganger came out from behind a container and charged her, trying to cut her off. Mr. K raced after her and fought of Gina's assailant while the rest of the edgerunners drew fire from the sniper and the red chromers. Trudy pulled Castillo back to safety and Mr. K grabbed Gina.

Colt stabilized them both while Mr. K asked what was going on. Trudy informed everyone that Calderone had abducted Jenny Gong and this was a Night City Vice hostage rescue operation. But it was a trap. Tubbs and Crockett drive right through the container yard in the Testarossa and assaulted the ship by themselves. They haven't been heard from since.

Pedro was anxious to rescue the Testerossa But they'd blown out all their bulletproof shields rescuing Castillo and Gina. They had to reach the Night City Vice armament van which was under heavy fire. Mr. K doused it with a smoke grenade and Pedro peeled out, driving everyone up next to it. The snipers fired at them through the smoke as they grabbed as many vests and armorjacks as they could grab. K searched the van while Pedro evacuated, spinning wheels and screaching tires back to safety. K fought of a red chromer and sixth street ganger as he grabbed what he could and grapple-handed back to the car.

Gina warned the edgerunners that, if they hadn't already noticed, these mooks were more dangerous than a typical mook. They were all on space dust. They were more like, I dunno, lieutenants. Mr. K responded that he understood and thought she used an interesting choice of words. The edgerunners discussed what drugs they needed to share, most of them did stim, and then they raced forward into the breach.

They engaged in another running gunfight with a small group of sixth street gangers and red chromers. At this point General joined the group, late to the party, but her mono katana welcome. They fought their way to the testerossa, which was parked on the dock in front of the ship. Pedro tried to rescue it and drive away, but it was destroyed. General grapple gunned onto the ship and two Sixth Street riflemen started unloading their Jungle Reapers at her. The sniper in the control tower was also still active. Mr. K grapple gunned onto the ship to help her. Down on the dock three Red Chromers tried to jump Colt, Mizmatch and Pedro.
