Shooting Stars

## Background

On an average rainy Seattle night, a transport moves up the 405, a limo and two armored SUVS. In the late of night, the sounds of roaring Harleys can be heard to either side of the road, slowly creeping up on the convoy. In a hail of gunfire and popper tires, an accident occurs. The shooting is quick and bloody, with the lightly armored and under paid security getting lit up.

A woman in blue is taken before KE can hit the scene, and only the carnage is left behind. The news reads of a violent go-ganger attack on the highway...not good. Phone calls are made.

"I need something with no strings, tonight."

## The Meet

At Club Trinity in Downtown Seattle, Habit, Dreamer, Chaos, Minerva, and Ophis meet outside. Instructions were simple, meet at the sallaryman hangout, and talk to the bartender. Minerva approached the bar and was served a "Tokyo Tea" in the form of a keycard to the back. The crew moves through swiftly, meeting with Mr. Star, the J. J was a well-dressed suit with white and shades.

The group take turns question the J, getting a target, a location, a lead, and free reign on how to run the job. Their goal was to rescue a starlet, Lindsey Rose, from the 405 Hellhounds. Theory goes that they were puppets of a Japanacrop, and were working under boot for them for a quick paycheck. After finding the run was not human trafficking but a rescue, the party agree to the tune of 15k.

## Legwork

* With a successful gangs roll by Habit; they got some details on the targets.
* With a successful Celebrity roll by Chaos, they got a rundown of the girl's career, being a popular B-List TV star.
* With Minerva's connection to KE via Howard Danziger, they find the hideout, through camera work and witness statements.

Arrival is straight forward, with the crew skipping the crime scene and showing up to an Abandoned Noodle Shop in the South Bellevue area.

## Run

The Crew arrives with a rough lay of the land, scouting commences. Through astral Projection from Dreamer and a mix of Detect life and a perimeter spell from Ophis, the crew determines the location of the starlet as well that the whole building was swarming with gangers. With clever planning of the team, they wager moving through the back and going through the window of the hostage room was the better idea.

Skulking around the back, Ophis slithers up the building for air support, ready to work the vents if worse goes to worse. The other four stack up at the alley edge, preparing for trouble. With the brilliant use of two silence bubbles via Ophis, both Chaos and Minerva are able to frag the drek out of those razorboys. This leaves the back unguarded. Dreamer uses the silence to his advantage, peeling away the metal shutters of an outside window, allowing the team to extract Ms. Rose with no trouble.

## Aftermath

With a smooth job, payment was clean, two bodies were made, and the 405s are going to have hell to pay due to their failure. Rose has been returned to her position with little known of the incident, for after all, the show must go on.
