Session 2
They headed out to Tacoma the night before to get a scope of the place. It's surrounded by road & vandalized parking lot, the shortest open space being the 25m from the back of the store to some random warehouse. In front is a large factory, where low-lifestyle wage slaves shuffle in and out. The Stuffer Shack is empty for all but 15min every two hours, when employees from the factory come out to use it. The interior layout is just walls of AR-tagged vending machines, cleaning drones, and a holo-emitting customer service drone. Accessible only through the back door is the storage facility where forklift drones move product into the vending machines from whatever delivery trucks bring in, as well as packaging the product and such. In this back-room area is the only meat brain for the facility, some slovenly orc spider laying on a beanbag and watching trids.
Cipher used his l337-skills to hack into the cameras to better know the layout and fabricate a false feed so Genji can sneak in undetected under Concealment from Tallow's spirits. The spider is confused at the backdoor opening without any accompanying truck, but eventually stopped wondering and walked back toward her bean bag. Genji then sneaked up and judo chopped the spider into unconsciousness, then dragged her under some drug wrappers while Cipher sifted through all of the databanks for possible information. They learn about shift changes and the delivery itinerary, but the data had nothing on truck identities. Cipher then fabricated footage of the spider tripping and having a box of product fall on their bruise, wiped any other possible trace of their presence, used Hack on the Fly for a Backdoor, and then the party walked away.
The first truck delivery will be in four hours from that point, so they headed over to a coffin motel to sleep; Cipher and Dixon had sleep regulators, so they got up in time to Taxman (hack on the fly) the manifest for the first truck while the other two continued sleeping. That truck did not, and the other two finally got up and took watch for the second, which also did not have the milk. But finally, the third [strikethrough]burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp[/strikethrough] contained the payload.
While Cipher began his process of hacking more deeply into the system to start messing with the manifest to hide the theft, Tallow magnified the sight to look at the truck’s guard (truck is self-driving) and cast Mob Mind for the command that they really need to use the restroom. Just as the truck began to back up, a gang of five arrived on their bikes, parked in front, and began to approach the back on foot. By the time Tallow was able, she could only hit two of them with Mob Mind, so she hit the likely leader and one other with the command of “too spooky, get out”. As the weather was terrible and the leader relied on verbal communication, the others weren’t able to hear as they rounded the corner. The pee-dancing guard jumped out of the truck opposite the approaching gangsters, ran the corner and into the spooked leader, who took this as a hostile sign and opened fire. This was heard by the others, who then threw their napalm molotov at the truck. Genji charged the three near the truck while Cipher took over the truck to start it moving forward. Dixon aimed and double-tapped one of the three gangsters while the gangster leader exchanged fire with the guard. On IP 2, the truck was fully taken over, Genji took out the third gangster, and Dixon KO’d the guard. The gangster leader and buddy hopped on their bikes and got the hell out of there.
With the violence over, Genji jumped into the truck to find an advanced crate containing 2.500 litres of farm-fresh whole milk.
They hefted it away and handed it over to Gunderson at the meeting point, where his truck and troll were waiting. They walked away 600¥ richer each.
After scene: Cipher was curious about the encrypted file on Willie, so he used this downtime to Hack on the Fly a Rtg 4 Decrypt program. He then fail sufficiently hard that it will take a month of sustaining the program to finish.
