Session 3: Scav Night Report
General Summary
Previously, after an afternoon of preparation and searching of the warehouse. The group softly and gradually infiltrate the Scavenger hideout. To avoid violence, Toolhand decides to work with the scavengers temporarily as a ripper to scavenger corpses collected by them. Vita however, dresses as a homeless woman and hacks into the mainframe of the warehouse, and is greeted with an unexpected amount of ICE. In breaking through this ICE she finds valuable information about the Scavengers deal with Militech, and gained access to the turrets and cameras in the building, disabling them all. Dakota and Bear, talk to the leader of this warehouse, Tony, about holding a concert for the morale of the gang members at the warehouse. Tony agrees and pays Bear to play for them up front, as this occasion was last minute.
In this session, the party make preparations for the concert. Bear calls his buddy from a venue he regulars at called "The Splooge", to send down equipment for the concert, and set a stage. Dakota, enters the warehouse with Bear, posing as Bear's agent, and involves himself in the setup. When the concert begins, Bear makes his introduction after two other Scavenger performers, perform ahead, and provides a distraction of a loud booming concert for the night. Meanwhile, Toolhand looks around the building for a passage way to the basement, after learning of one and Vita confirming that it was where Henry was being held. Vita had also gained access to the door to the torture room, where Henry was being kept. Hearing this, Toolhand along with Rowze, find the entrance, and burst it open, and not long after are met with resistance from Scavenger guards. Before they could open fire however, Toolhand knocks one out and ambushes the other. In finding Henry, Toolhand furiously interrogates him about Rocklins planned obsolescence with their cybertech, however Henry being exhausted and beaten badly from torture, isn't able to give much info besides the fact that he was head of software development for the corp. After retrieving Henry, Vita warns that another guard was coming their way and that they'd need to do something about it. They were then able to take him out and make an escape out of the warehouse while the concert was still going on.
After retrieving Henry and bringing him to the truck Toolhand, interrogates him more about his involvement and Henry gives him a file in his agent titled "Project Temperance". The file contained basic info about the project, its goals, locations to blueprints and the company involved in providing the chemical that would make it possible, Biotechnica.
Moments pass as the concert goes on, and Rowze agrees to stay behind to guard the door to the basement before cleaning it up. In an effort to stall, when a guard comes down to check out the basement door, she convinces him to walk away and trust her with it. This wasn't however, convincing to Tony and decides to deal with it later. Rowze goes back down, and disposes of the bodies, all the while replacing Henry with a corpse of one of the men. After doing so, she goes to Tony and tells him of the fact she just came from the basement entrance and that he recognized the door was busted open from the outside to deceive him about the situation. Unfortunately, despite the deception, Tony saw through it and said convinced her to walk outside with her to talk about but instead it was to trap her.
Toolhand after obtaining the agent and the file probes Henry to find the disabled Rocklin tracker on his head and enables it again to say that he's dead. He then threw it out of his truck as he drove off. After doing this, a squad of Militech agents stormed the warehouse grounds interrupting the concert as they detained all 40 people present in the building including Bear, Sergei, and Thompson. They search the basement for Henry and immediately after finding out he wasn't their the squad leader, orders a kill order for all of the scavs in the building. After executing them all, they detain Bear, and Tony, and put them inside a van. In the van was the operations commander for Night City operations in Militech. He asks Tony where Henry was and after hearing his response full of excuses with no result he shoots him inbthe head immediately. He then tells Bear not to speak any of this. He decides to let Bear go in account of him not being involved and the fact that he recognizes his work in smuggling with Europa Sur in the Eurotheater, however he still warns him that if he talks about anything that happened to the Scavs and that if he gets in Militechs way they wouldn't be merciful.
After finishing the job, everyone in the party return home, and in the next morning after taking Henry in Toolhand is awaken by commotion outside his condo. Oz was being held with a monoblade at his neck by a Solo Assassin looking for Toolhand. Toolhand encounters him and immediately takes him out after convincing him to fight without his blade or gun. After that he calls the group back to his garage to talk about the information found from the rescue and plans for the next step. Victor reminds Rowze of her obligation to complete her job given to her by Raven, retrieve Henry and take him to them, but in reluctance they decide to proceed with the plan, but convinced Henry to go to them with a bug in his brain that will fry it the moment that the transaction is done.
