Yep-

<Decker, over a cybercom> "Damn, this thing is big- I'm going to need at
least three mins to grab it!"
<Team leader> "'Damn' is right. Micky, Shane- cover the front office!
Don, rig those claymores, then cover our back door! Jimmy, it's going to
be tight, can you still see the patrols on thermal? Kell, be ready to set
off that distraction!" <checks his weapon one last time and kneels between
the door and the decker, hoping that his armour will give the decker enough
cover once the shooting starts.>
(Micky the Finn is a nordic physad and a follower of shark. Shane is a
street scamurai. Don is a demo specialist. Jimmy is our rigger, and is
riding a Condor for recon and has a loaned, armed Dalmation orbiting at
three klicks for aircover during egress. Kelly is a merc, covering Jimmy
and our redevous point with a sniper rifle, the controls for pyrotechnic
charges, and a cell phone with the number for the beeper we had given to
the head of the biker group we were paying good money to make a disturbance
on the opposite side of the compound than our egress point. Penetration was
flawless, but the guards are ETA 145 seconds and the pre-mission data
indicated that we would only need 60 secs to copy it from the isolated
network it was on once we had compromised it. We are going to be at least
35 seconds short, and that is more than enough time to die!)
