10/12/18, Go for the Gold
Target: La Croix Security Armored Car
Objective: Steal the target's cargo of gold.
Difficulty: Average
Background: :3 is short on cash after buying up basically every power plant, subs-station, and light pole in the greater La Croix metropolitan area, and before it can make progress on the "water" part of "water and power", it needs to make some red numbers black again. According to Rico, this will be a chance to kill two birds with one stone, as :3 is about to begin an all-out war against La Croix Security, inc., the city's private police force. According to :3 spies within the nation's central bank, a large amount of gold bullion from the National Reserve Bank in La Croix is about to be moved to the one in San Pellegrino, and the TCCB has contracted with LCS to carry out and secure the shipment. The cash value of the gold itself is not insignificant, but Rico hints that the real objective is the damage its loss will do to La Croix Security.
Thanks to their spies within the nation's banking system, :3 knows the exact route of the late-night shipment. LCS is banking (hur) on secrecy, and so the gold is being moved in a single armored truck with no other escort vehicles. Touko runs the op remotely while Rico leads from the front. On this mission, he brings Alex, Anya, Benji, Hibiki, Cecily, Iris, Tanya, Kira, and Shaundi. Rayna is to pilot the helicopter during the critical extraction phase.
The plan is simple enough. The Rico and his "harem" lay out a spike strip which catches the LCS armored car. The car is basically just an armored truck, and not any kind of combat vehicle, but the first complication arrises when the truck's driver tries to just keep going after losing all four tires. He plows into Kira, running her over and killing her more-or-less instantly. The truck crashes into an empty storefront after that, but it's not long before a squad of LCS trooper girls come spilling out of the back of the car!
Alex quickly guns down four of them, but not before one of the enemy zakos shoots Benji right in the crotch. He goes down howling and cutching at his permanently ruined junk. Iris, Shaundi, and Hibiki each claim another kill, but Tanya takes a full burst of gunfire. One round hits her in the belly, the other two get her in the chest. She drops and manages to crawl away, moaning and coughing, but she's finished and she knows it.
One of the two remaining LCS girls tosses a hand grenade. Cecily sees this and warns everyone, enabling them to dive for cover before the grenade goes off. Everyone but Benji, who couldn't crawl away fast enough. His body (what remains of it) is sent flying away in the explosion. Alex and Anya finish the last two zakos. Alex guns down her target while Anya slams hers head-first into the side of the armored car.
Shaundi avenges her sister (and Kira, for that matter), by stabbing the driver to death while the others quickly load the gold onto a pallete suspended from the helicopter by a net. It's a tight fit, coming down in the intersection, but Rayna manages it fairly well. As soon as the gold is secured, the Chapter (minus Tanya, who knows she's doomed and refuses a medevac) gets into the gunship with their prize in tow and Rayna flies them all away.
1: Alex (?, F): Elite Trooper (Fine)
2: Anya (18, F): Average Martial Artist (Fine)
3: Benji (18, M): Incompetent Trooper (Dead)
4: Hibiki (19, F): Average Martial Artist (Fine)
5: Cecily (23, F): Average Ninja (Fine)
6: Iris (23, F): Average Trooper (Fine)
7: Tanya (0, F): Average Trooper (Dying)
8: Kira (20, F): Incompetent Trooper (Dead)
9: Shaundi (0, F): Average Trooper (Fine)
10: Rayna (18, F): Average Pilot (Fine)
Final Result: Success. What more is there to say? :3 is richer, and at the expense of its enemy LCS. Three members are considered to be acceptable losses. The survivors party back at the hideout.
Dispatch from Regional: "Cha-ching! Wow! Great job, Rico! Great job, all y'all! It might be just a drop in the bucket, but every little bit helps, amirite? LCS is in the shit now, haha!"
