[ Chapter 01 ] [ Back ] [ Chapter 3 ]

• We received our bonus of 10k nY
• The Johnson said he had possibly another job coming our way soon
• A week later we met with the different Johnson, recommended by the first Johnson
• We were to find a stolen tractor-trailer type truck full of nuclear materials that could cause a public health disaster if opened
• We accepted a price of $37k total nY + $10k nY bonus for neutralizing the thieves
• We departed and immediately headed to the hijack site
• The truck had been nabbed by a gang of bored, rich teenager types
• We searched the area, but found nothing helpful
• We searched the next exit up, and questioned a person at a gas station, but still nothing turned up
• I urged we return and research; I was not with scouring every exit from the ATL to Charlotte
• Jack got online and began looking deeper into things; he also contacted a decker friend of his
• Kat got in touch with a cop friend of hers
• The next morning we had an address and two names: Elsbeth and Julian Schroeder
• These two were apparently the matrix dropoffs (Gemini55) for the ransom
• We invaded their home, interrogated, and left
  • They gave their leader's name Thog (Peter Meyer) who lived down the street
  • They gave a location for the storage facility that we could check out
  • We let them be, but not after one more tsk-tsk
• We checked out Peter's house, but it was empty as if it hadn't been lived in for a while
• Headed out to the warehouse same-day to inspect
• Arrived, and immediately got a bad feeling about this
  • Military grade fully autonomous droids
  • Toxic spirits raising zombies
  • Dead teenage gangers being raised as zombies
  • Military paratroopers being raised as zombies
  • Not your standard ganger-warehouse load-out
• I had my spirit of man go out and cast accident on the turret turning toward us to shred Jack's van
  • The thing keeled over and started shooting up into the air as Jack peeled the van backwards and out of sight
• Bloodmoon dialed our Johnson and upped our cost to $40k + $10k
• Time for a disengage, some recon, and a new plan
