Wanderlust

## Summary

The edgerunners were contacted at 2:30 in the morning with an urgent request: Queen Samaria of the Surfers of Jah had been abducted by Red Chrome Legion and they had to rescue her immediately. The edgerunners all met on the shore of Little Europe where Night City Vice -- Gina, Switek, Zito, and Tubbs -- drove up in the Wellcraft Scarab speedboat and Bikini Kill drove up in her speedboat. Unfortunately there wasn't enough room for the drivers of General, Mr. K or 00, but the edgerunners jumped in and the pilots immediately raced off, bouncing through the swells and kicking up spray, to the north of Night City.

Tubbs explained the plan over the radio on the way: there were two camps of neo nazis and they didn't know which one the Red Chromers were holding Queen Samaria. They'd drop the edgerunners off at the first camp while Tubbs and the rest of Night City Vice went on to hit the second one. As they approached the first drop-off point the boats were attacked by mortar operators on the shore. Fortunately the mortar operators weren't very good at their jobs and the edgerunners were, blowing up one of their mortars with a well-placed shot and killing the two operators. They hit the shore and jumped on the beach.

As they came over a dune-grass covered bluff the edgerunners caught two nazis on patrol and tried to put them out of their misery. One escaped into a treeline of scrub trees. The edgerunners ran after them right into a minefield. General and Nitya barely managed to evade triggered mines and Mr. K managed to twist in such a way he took the brunt of the attack on his armored side. One of the edgerunners (I'm sorry I forgot who) successfully tracked the escaping Chromer, who led them to a well-trodden safe path through the minefield.

The edgerunners came on an old mobile home camp ground serving as the Chromer's camp. As they tried to sneak in Harvey was ambushed by shotgun-wielding chromers in the rusted out campers. A gunfight erupted, during which Mr. K heard a woman trying to scream who was muffled with a gag. He made a bee-line for that trailer and snuck a peak through the door. He was seen by a big bare-chested Chromer with an Iron Eagle tattooed across his chest. "Come on in!" he challenged as he held up a detonator "we'll all die together." Mr. K could see that Queen Samaria was hooked up to a bomb vest.

Mr. K tried to talk the guy down and Hornet took advantage of the distraction to try and shoot the detonator out of his hand. At only four meters it proved to be too difficult an aimed shot for even Hornet. The guy pressed the detonator and Mr. K, Queen Samaria, Hornet and the bomber were all caught in the blast. Queen Samaria and the bomber were immediately mortally wounded. Mr. K grabbed Queen Samaria and dragged her out of the burning trailer to Nitya, who immediately placed her in a cryobag. The team radio'd Night City Vice, who raced back to pick them up. Back in Little Europe NCV transferred Queen Samaria to Night City Hospital via stealth helicopter, where she was later reported to be in critical condition but alive. The edgerunners received a reward and the gratitude of Night City Vice.
