After having turned the rigger's drones on each other, we left the wreckage far behind us and continued on hoping to not encounter any more obstacles in our path.
About 20 minutes later, our hopes were shattered. As we were driving Jack, Marry, and I look out the windows toward downtown Seattle to see 4 explosions go off in rapid succession. Less than a minute after seeing the explosions, the matrix flooded with all kinds of different information. Not long after, all of the news channels started streaming live feed from the explosion sites.
Feeling the change in the matrix, grinning to myself I said "Oh my god! There's so much info here, it's orgasmic"
Looking at me like I had three heads Marry said to me "What are you? Some kind of media freak?"
With a devilish grin on my face I replied to her "HA HA. In this day and age knowledge is power, baby."
"Cut the chatter guys we have a problem." Jack's voice came floating back into the passenger/cargo bay. Looking out the front window I see up ahead of us traffic start slowing down and coming up to a road block with police light blinking.
Slamming my head into my palm I grumble to myself "Why couldn't this be an easy mission."
" Ok we need a plan. Should we try to get the scientist on the med bed and try to pass as a medic evac team?" Martin yelled back after putting down the pieces of the radio he had ripped out.
"Sounds like a plan." Marry said looking over to our "cargo". "Are you willing to cooperate with us?"
"Or do we need to force you to be part of this plan?" ELLyen said picking up on Mary's train of thought, readying his H&K-227.
Knuckles also picking up on the train of thoughts grinned and said, "Mind if I help?" while cracking his knuckles.
Looking like he as about to crap his pants and much to the disappointment of ELLyen and Knuckles our "cargo" hastily agreed to cooperate preferring to not get shot or have limbs broken.
"Well if we're going to pull this off we'll need a matrix node." I said "We'll be F&B extraction. Knuckles mind making us some papers?"
"Find if I have to." Knuckle replied puling out some electric papers.
Falling into the matrix I hastily pulled together a decent looking node for our company. While putting the finishing touches on the node I see that the police forming the road block are the Lone Stars*. We were able to pass though the road block with out a problem. A few minutes after we passed the road block I managed to find out that the explosions happened at 4 of the top 10 corps in the world.
When we reached our drop-off point we found 3 armored vans outside the Ware house. There were also 2 armed soldiers standing outside with the front door opened.
We informed Mr. Johnson that the drop-off was compromised, he asked us to go in and extract anyone that may still be alive. He also told us that if we did as he asked he would double our pay for this shadowrun.
Agreeing to this we were given the secondary drop-off location. We started planing to enter the building and decided that I'd watch the scientist while the others would go in the front door and wing it from there.
