Ongoing Plots

Current Job

Janus Koskey pitches the shadowrunners on another job.

“Now, places that are obvious looting targets, they’re getting increased security, whether it’s rent-a-cops or gangers more interested in building rep and holding territory than joining in the fun and games themselves. Jewelry stores, electronic stores,.. that motorcycle place on 9th has the Brain Eaters setting up turrets.”

“So what we do is hit someplace that isn’t worried about rioters, and where we benefit from the increased Lone Star response time.”

The display screen shows a daylight picture of a fifteen-story office building, the sun shining off polished glass behind a manicured lawn.

“Briar Tower. State of the art security, both physical and magical. No way to break in without setting off half a dozen alarms. But once the rioting spreads into Bellevue, which it will, you hit the tower like you’re just part of the crowd. The alarms go off, the watcher spirit runs screaming. But instead of Lone Star being there within a minute or two, it’s five, even ten. And during that time you’re trashing the ground floor, but you’re also tricking out the security system, so that before they arrive you can slip into the upper floors without leaving a trace. And then the building is yours.”

“You’ll still have to deal with the individual security for each of the tenants, but you’ll have time to do it in.”

“A lot of them won’t be interesting. Two law firms, some accountants, a media relations agency,” logos, websites, pictures go by on screen, “the business offices of a tool and die company,..”

“We ignore most of it. But there’s at least three worth a visit.”

“Third floor. HyperVid Gaming. Did that big Bug City trid last year. Take whatever you can get of their new game”

“Blingee Custom Metalwork. Jewelry for the newly rich. Tens of thousands of Nuyen in display pieces, and should be a couple hundred thousand in materials in the back.”

“Gallery S. Private art gallery. I was able to pull invoices for high-value shipments from around the world.”

“Should be easy.”
