@Maxwell it is shortly after you decide to stick around for the night that you receive a call from Deep Blue;
She say "Hello Sovereign, I got your number from your fixer. Are you free tonight ? I got some unexpected cancellation and I need your skill. " In the displays she looks like a fully lathered orc, with dark blue hair. Good looking for an orc.

[All4BigGuns]

Deep Blue say: "No payment, nobody gets paid for this gig. Money is traceable. I cannot tell you the target of the run. If you come you treat wounded and you can raid an alpha clinic that's all I am going to say. Whatever the target is, you are just hitch hikers if you are in it is from your own motives, I only give you a ride. "

"If we're going to go into such a situation, we need information on the target," Serge says plainly, "Even if that information is given en route. We need to know what sort of response to expect."

[gilga]

@Serge, Flatline Seeing your confused faces Deep Blue said "Look I am not going to hide it, this mission is so sensitive that it is best if we do not have any form of connection. No money transfer no nothing. It is a raid on a well defensed military compound with some veteran ex-military soldiers. This is not your average gang troubles this is the real deal, while I have some free space in my choppers and I anticipate that your services may be required the only thing I can motivate you with is loot.

Everyone in this gig is in for personal reasons be these reasons what they are and we've been planning it for few weeks now. We leave in a few hours so there is not much time for soul searching, either you are with me or not. I can supply you some heavy armor for the mission and you should be able to use the chaos to plunder quite a bit. They have quite extensive medical facilities there. There is no 'Jhonson' to this gig I just provide some logistics and the ride and I am in that for the loot. They have some things that will blow your mind. We are above 20 people with no paper trace that connects us. This is what I can offer you tonight and I really do not have time or money of my own to negotiate pay. If you have questions feel free to ask and I'll answer what I can, but I too need to get ready for my big night.

I can only tell you the specifics once on route, but once on route we cannot turn back for you. I become the most important woman in there because without me you cannot go back home.   "

[All4BigGuns]

"You know," Serge says, "A military facility, while dangerous, does offer some things absolutely unavailable under normal circumstances. Provided I am given more detail on the way, I will help out with medical treatment, but without money I won't fire a shot unless it's in my own defense."

"Also," he adds, "if you could manage getting a remote link-up to one of their cargo choppers to swipe that, I would be more than willing to consider that ample pay."

Maxwell was outside the building but still within the fort when he got the call.  Smoking to pass the time.  Taking a long drag of his cigarette, Maxwell notices the caller is a pretty girl.  He mumbles to himself: "A lovely woman in leather, oh that's trouble."  Breathing out the fetid smoke and coughing a few times as well.  Maxwell was a little annoyed he was being disturbed when he was getting ready for his undead hunt.  Reluctantly he texts her back.

@ Deep Blue - <<I'm in the middle of something so can it wait?  Also you never said what i'm gonna be doing or what skill of mine you need."

[gilga]

@ Deep Blue texts you >> Sugar, we are leaving very soon. it is a raid on a military facility will play astral over-watch. There is high background count so do not expect too much but still you can get some decent mileage out magic. Plenty of toys to lift if we make it. Interested?

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell goes over the text in his mind.  "Fuck, that sounds too damn cool to pass up.  High background count?  Higher than it already is?  Where am I going, the Heart of the Blight?  Maxwell turns around and looks at the Red Hot Nukes HQ and mumbles to himself:  "I guess solving the mystery of the undead plague will have to wait."  He responds back to her.

@ Deep Blue - <<Fine i'm in, but where do you want me to go?>>

[gilga]

@Maxwell Deep Blue say >> Glad you are in, sugar. Go to the top floor of the New Hilton, there is an helicopter landing pad there, I'll wait you there. We leave at 22:00

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell stretches out a bit and prepares for the walk.  Leaving through the gate of the corroded fortress back onto the streets of the barrens.  Passing alleyways and building corners and navigating the mess of the sprawls.  Occasionally seeing pedestrians going about their daily activities and only passively wondering if they are the slightest bit prepared for the hell to come.  Dark thoughts of a zombie apocalypse dwell within Maxwell's mind.  Images of the dead rising to snatch and devour the living or to add to the army of the hidden necromancer king. 

Wasn't before too much longer that Maxwell arrived at the entrance of the New Hilton and his daydream had ended.  A nice getaway resort hotel for the rich, even has a bunch of fountains in the front with lights and all.  A goofy grin appeared on Maxwell's face due to the fact that he was only here to help raid some military warehouse.  He casually walked inside in his normal slouched posture.  The lobby was empty except for Maxwell and a receptionist who seemed busy at the moment.  Taking the opportunity to not be bothered he quickly made his way to the door that led to the stairs.  As he opened the door he let out a heavy groan as he saw what appeared to be a never ending flight of steps.  Begrudgingly he made his way up each and every one of them until he finally reached the top. 

He opened the door that led outside to the landing pad, surprisingly it wasn't locked or anything.  Maxwell could see a great portion of the barrens from this view.  His only thoughts on the matter was that this place was a shit hole.  Maxwell laughs at his own gloomy joke and looks around to see if Deep Blue is here or not.

This just keeps getting worse.

Flatline is looking at this lunatic across the table from him, describing every detail of the WORST shadowrun imaginable.

"Let me see if I understand you correctly, almost 2 dozen folks, complete strangers, are essentially going to assault what has to be a defended military facility by helicopter.  No one is getting paid for this, we are supposed to loot the joint profitably to be compensated.  We, as your medical team, who you have said are incredibly important, have no intel on the threats or even the people we are supposed to support, unless we accept, and then only in route with no preparation.  And you are rushing us?"  Flatline drains his glass.

He looks at Serge, "Are you seriously considering this?  I never pegged you for suicide, but I know much easier methods."

[All4BigGuns]

Looking at Flatline, Serge says simply, "It's a damn big risk, but I'd imagine that with some of the stuff I could pilfer, I might be able to grow some bio implants. Maybe even turn the clinic into a hospital. And if she's amenable to remote-controlling one of their cargo choppers for me, that's a medical airlift and possibly an ambulance with a transport loaded onto it."

He gives a grin and adds, "No one ever accused me of being sane."

[gilga]

@Serge and Flatline Deep Blue say "Consider me an organizer, not just one chopper many, and cars and trucks and whatever you can imagine. There are representatives from the cooperate world,  from criminal syndicates and some from the shadows like us. The strike was planned for a long while, and actual preparations are several weeks. The window of opportunity is closing this is happening tonight with or without you and I cannot change the schedule. The thing is with an operation this complex there are cancellations, unexpected obstacles and this is why I even talk to you instead of going over all my vehicles again and again and clearing my head. I could always use a good medics around - you can imagine that this is a high risk gig.  I have a wasp that was custom modified with hidden locations and extensive engine job to be able to carry four or maybe five people where normally only one would fit. I have places for the two of you if you want.

They are completely autonomous there and it means that their medical facility has to be well equipped with medical drones, expert systems, equipment and evacuation vehicles you name it. If we pull it off the reward is big, and like I said there this is a high risk gig."


@Maxwell -  The door is locked, but there is a tiny Micro camera. Once it spots you the door unlocks. On the roof there is a wasp helicopter in KE colors, it is armed and seem brand new. A large man perhaps an orc wearing full body armor in KE colors say,"oh you are Sovereign, I am Ralph, suit up" and he removes another full body armor suit along with an helmet and chemical seal from the helicopter. "We are still waiting, but you should ware this, you will not survive the ride without it."

(You can talk to Ralph but I am still waiting for some things to clear before I can move on the scene.)

[Crossbow]

This is going to go SOO horribly wrong

"If you are going I will back you up, getting another hospital going in the barrens would take a lot of heat off us.  I am still not really clear on how this is going to work, but it sounds like people are going to need the help."

Flatline shakes his head, clearly not sold on the concept, but resigned to follow Serge's decision.

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell didn't like the look of the armor, he feels it goes against his style.  Considering the job he's on he doesn't have much choice if he likes it or not.  Taking off his leather jacket and folding it, he sets it on the ground next to him.  He inspects the armor and helmet and tries to figure out if this is a wise choice or not.  Shrugging he quickly puts it on, doing his best to adapt to the funkiness of this new suit.  When that was all done he puts on the helmet and makes sure its on properly.  Maxwell stretches a bit and tries to acclimate to his new digs.  After all that he asks Ralph: "I'm kinda fond of this jacket here."  Maxwell points at his jacket on the ground.  "Is their a way to safely store it on the helicopter?"

[gilga]

@Big guns, Flatline. If you take the job you are instructed to quickly make your way to the New Hilton, on the roof you find a modified wasp chopper that awaits you. Deep Blue is not there but there are two figures in full body armors (Sovereign) and somebody that calls himself Ralph.
They ask you to suit up, and offer you two set of KE style full body armors.

With the helmet on there is no way to tell who is under the suit, even the voice made is artificial as the suits are chemically sealed. Ralph shows you the wasp and opens up smuggling compartments near the engine with ropes for you to hold so you somehow fit inside the little chopper, this is one piece of tight design and you are not going to be able to move much during the flight. "This is where you ride in", he say and explain how to hold the ropes. "You will have to be in full body armor otherwise the engine gasses and temperature will kill you. Also you are flying inside the engine so try not to touch anything. If you mess with the engine we crush. We are leaving once you are ready."

@Maxwell consider yourself part of the situation, and let's assume that they come. If they don't than we'll edit.
