Session 7

Qwerty does some research on Red Fox Auto-Road Juggernauts but doesn't manage to penetrate the corporate security to get juicy intel from the corpo system. He does find some buzz on line for the hijacked juggernauts and learns some of the likely defences the vehicle could be equipped with.

The Punks go to the meeting point at 11:00 (Qwerty actually goes early but doesn’t find anything suspicious). It is a construction site for hyperblock that has been abandoned leaving a muddy mess of foundations and discarded spoil and steal and concreate fingers reaching up to the polluted sky.  The Familia gang members arrive in dribs and drabs. Gabriella is the last to arrive. She gives a chip to Flash who immediately sets about analysing it.

She explains the job. The crew are going to hijack and auto-road juggernaut on the nearby highway. The chip she gave flash holds the juggernauts planned route.

Dyson questions her but she doesn't take the bate. He feigns upset at doing a job with such little info on such short notice. She tells him he can walk away if he want to. He doesn't.

The plan is simple, get Flash close enough to the Juggernaut that he can crack it's local network security, so he can disable the anti-boarding counter measures (an electrical grid of small charged pylons that will zap anyone trying to climb on board.) Then Flash will leap onto the juggernaut and plug  in, disabling the onboard AI and installing new code that will mean the juggernaut will follow a bike as peacefully as lamb back to any destination where it can be uploaded. The Punks can then take whatever they want form it's cargo except for one packing crate, QC9S27C - that belongs to Gabriela and no one else is to touch it. 

The Familia and the Punks rev up and ride off to the 18 lane auto-road. Right on queue the juggernaut arrives following it's route.

The punks set about engaging the juggernaut drawing it's fire. It deploys turrets and drone. Harley and Qwerty shoot some down, Qwerty does so with a hacked drone of his own. Jax covers Flash but they have trouble getting in range.

Harley notices an upcoming junction the Juggernaut might take to avoid it's attackers. He herds other traffic in the way and the Juggernaut stays on route, buying more time for his companions to gain control.

Flash disables the anti-boarding countermeasures as Gabriella gives them covering fire. Rye dances through machine gun fire at high speed around the juggernaut always a step ahead of its defences.

The Punks take out all the drones and Flash manoeuvres into position ready to jump onto the huge truck.

A police car joins the chase it's armoured passengers looking bulky and slow in their high speed blue and white pursuit vehicle with its flashing lights and wailing sirens.

Smart Warning signs on the auto-road switch to danger signs indicating "Cyberviolence ahead"

Harley drops a grenade in front of the police car damaging it but dazing himself.
