You know that thing about a decker breaking into a system, placing an order
for assault rifles (IIRC), and then the idea is to falsify where they go, so
he and/or his friends can pick them up?
Well, we did the same thing, only with regards to "the other Arc" that Renraku
was building, and in this case the target was a bundle of cyberparts and
robotic stuff that we wanted (if you can't get the facilities to build
something, have someone else build it, then steal it for yourselves ;).
It would have been easy too, except that the stupid Fixer, which we discovered
there *may* have been other action going on elsewhere on a lower floor (our
target was 70-72), was to keep them away from us. What happens?
We're dressed up as maintenance people there to pick up the crates and move to
"Shipping/Receiving" on the lower floors, pull a "Shadowrunners?!? Oh,
yeah,
they went *thataway* (dumb guards)", and kept going. On the way down (love
those maglev-like elevators), we get stopped about 40 or so, by ....
dadudadudummmm a trio of lab tech beings escorted out by a quintent of
runners.....
Oh yeah, it was fun. Really, it was. Especially when I (at gunpoint from
another runner no less) walked up to the elevator, ran my passkey (I LOVE MY
MAGLOCK KEY!) through the lock, warned the rest of my guys via the teamlink
thingie, and promptly turned on my magboots (don't leave home without 'em
anymore), the rest of the group secured, and I turned the elevator to "DOWN-
EXPRESS MODE".
Yep, arriving at receiving/shipping with the components "shaken, maybe
stirred" was pretty fun.
