Disaster / DestructionThe Cabinet are contracted for a retrieve-and-deliver run, to extract a package from a Lone Star Security Services evidence-locker and deliver it to a designated drop-off location at the Universal Omnitech School of Medicine. The package however, was a trap: a hermetically-sealed package of explosives, set to detonate in proximity to a short-range RFID signal in the drop-off area. Four cabinet-members are killed and the fifth is recovered in critical condition, prompting Barkeep to disband The Cabinet indefinitely.
