## Summary

The edgerunners contacted by Hoss were able to receive the call to arms, and in various fashions, made their way to Hoss' warehouse in the Heywood Industrial Zone. Most people gathered around, and were able to relax, waiting on the fixer to let them in, but Deadwalker quickly caught on to the cleverly hidden defenses on standby around what originally appeared to be a simple garage.

Hoss quickly let them in upon their arrival, where they were rapidly introduced to his War Machine - A heavily armored up nomad vehicle bordering an APC with a Cowboy GL mounted on top, and Hoss made it clear: He's going to war - but he needs to know what targets to hit first. There, Hoss briefed the edgerunners on a location he wanted investigated and crippled if possible.

Having confirmed their objectives, the Edgerunners readied up to deploy to a Sandhill storage structure out on the border of the Reclaimed perimeter and Rancho Coronado. With the help of Tea's drone, they performed some aerial recon to find the best way to approach: with the only options they could find being the front door.

Deadwalker Seeing a bad fight on the horizon, and not willing to put their Militech teammates at risk for a bad operation, withdrew from the gig. (Player had to leave early.) Everyone else however, decided to move forward, and attempted to enter through the front door with a little infiltration.

With forgeries of shipping orders in-hand, Danny Rampage and Gabb approached the front door personnel entrance, they presented the forgery and were about to get in, up until Noodle jacked into the NetArc...and alerted the Security Netrunner who was monitoring her domain while talking with the Edgerunners up front.

One Pathfinder later that caught Noodle's presence, and a high alert was set up, with Tea feeling a considerable amount of movement through her tactile boosters.

The group began their infiltration the hard way, busting and breaking their way in, door by door, and the second that threshold was breached, they were faced with highly coordinated and motivated force looking to defend the complex.

Fighting broke out, with Red taking serious injuries, but over the course of the fighting, the Edgerunners got their hits in too, taking down one of the Security Professionals and putting them in the ground - as well as nearly killing a multitude of civilian employees.

Tea Was able to successfully imitate the sounds of a Psychosquad Unit arriving on scene however - and this led to Security forces regrouping and maintaining morale, as they assumed backup was on the way - much to their detriment. Once they realized there was no backup coming, the Security Operatives began attempting part of their secondary job of destroying lab equipment deeper in the compound, and escaping with their VIP.

While unable to stop the Security Forces from destroying the laboratory, the Edgerunners did destroy the evac vehicle. With morale low on the Security Forces' side, and unwilling to further risk the lives of their civilian coworkers, a ceasefire was arranged: the Security left the field with their weapons, dead & wounded, and the civilians in the compound, while leaving behind the VIP - an overweight scientist who nearly left them for dead.

While certainly reeling from their engagement with these professionals, without any remaining contests, the Edgerunners secured the VIP, Noodle recovered a useful file from within the NetArc containing info about "The Baron", and despite the damaged nature of the equipment, Gabb was able to make some deductions about the lab equipment's purpose. Plus they found some fluid and tissue samples to hand over to Hoss.

Hoss was most certainly pleased with the Edgerunner performance, and promised to hold up his end of the bargain. With that, what he does with the info remains to be seen.
